88: Transformation

Western Military Region's Number One Military Base.

Top floor office of the Command Center building.

"The third batch of personnel files has been screened."

"However, the Military Department has strong objections to us taking their three tactical advisors..."

Lin Qianqian's voice came through the communicator, with Wang Kai's rough scolding audible in the background.

"Tell them directly it's my decision. If that still doesn't work, contact Zhao Tianhe directly."

"Yes!"

Su Lei responded simply, his gaze sweeping over the family photo on the desk, suddenly lost in thought.

In the photo, Li Xue凝's smile was still gentle, and the two children's tender faces still had traces of cotton candy from the amusement park.

He was one of the top Grandmasters in the Western Military Region, yet his family members were ordinary people with no power to defend themselves.

Although they lived in the Imperial Capital's most prestigious community, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Even someone as strong as Lin Xiaotian was terrified of the coming second catastrophe; the fate of ordinary people was unimaginable.

While he was also trying to find ways to become stronger and expand his influence, he couldn't guarantee one hundred percent that his wife, son, and daughter wouldn't be implicated in this catastrophe.

Through experiments on Lin Qianqian and Wang Kai, the use of Forging Body Palm had become second nature.

Looking at his family's smiling faces in the photo, Su Lei secretly made up his mind.

He put down the photo frame and slowly stood up.

"Prepare a special plane. I'm returning to the Imperial Capital."

...Two hours later, the military special plane landed at the Imperial Capital airport.

Returning to Tian Que District, as he pushed open the front door, the setting sun outside the window perfectly dyed the living room a warm orange-red.

The sound of spatulas clanging against the iron wok came from the kitchen.

Li Xue凝 was preparing dinner.

His son, Su Yun, was playing soccer in the courtyard, while his daughter, Su Qiaoqiao, was nestled on the sofa watching cartoons.

"You're back?"

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Li Xue凝 wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen, a surprised smile on her face.

"Dinner will be ready soon. Go wash your hands first."

Su Lei stepped forward and took his wife's hand, feeling the thin calluses on her palm from years of housework, his voice involuntarily softening.

"Close your eyes."

Li Xue凝 cast a questioning gaze, and though she didn't understand, she obediently closed her eyes.

The next moment, she suddenly felt a warm current flow from her wrist throughout her body, as if something was gently tickling her blood vessels.

Immediately following, an unprecedented surge of heat erupted from her Dantian, instantly sweeping through her limbs and bones.

"This... this is..."

Looking at his wife's shocked expression, Su Lei softly said, "I want to make you all Martial Artists."

Li Xue凝 was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.

The scene from the Martial Dao Academy test twenty years ago flashed before her eyes.

The instructor had regretfully shaken his head, telling her that her Meridians were blocked, and she would never enter the Martial Dao.

She had secretly cried all night, and later locked all her Martial Dao textbooks in a chest.

"I clearly, clearly have no talent..."

"How is this possible..."

Li Xue凝 murmured, lowering her head, her expression filled with disbelief.

Yet, the surging Qi and blood within her body, the abundant power, told her that none of this was an illusion.

Su Lei gently wiped away his wife's tears and smiled, saying, "You've already felt it, haven't you?"

"This is just the beginning."

Li Xue凝 tried to throw a punch, and a faint popping sound actually echoed in the air.

Her legs suddenly went weak, and she knelt on the ground.

It wasn't from exhaustion, but from the shock of her long-held understanding being completely overturned.

Li Xue凝 looked up at her husband, her eyes a mix of shock, joy, and a hint of fear.

"I merely helped you reclaim what was rightfully yours."

Su Yun and his sister, standing nearby, watched in stunned silence.

"Dad, did Mom really become a Martial Artist?"

Su Qiaoqiao jumped off the sofa, her small face full of curiosity.

Although Su Yun didn't speak, the anticipation in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

His bookshelf was already overflowing with Martial Dao magazines and novels.

Su Lei crouched down, looking at the two children at eye level.

"Do you want to be like Mom?"

The two little heads immediately nodded like chickens pecking rice.

"It might hurt a little; you'll have to bear with it."

Su Lei said, his right hand glowing with a faint golden light.

He first placed his hand on Su Yun's back.

The boy immediately stiffened, his small face scrunched up.

He gently widened his slender Meridians, like guiding water into a dry riverbed.

"Ah!" Su Yun suddenly cried out. His skin turned an abnormal red, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

"Hold on," Su Lei said in a deep voice, "Imagine you're pushing open a very, very heavy door."

A moment later, Su Yun looked at his own palm in disbelief.

He tried to throw a punch at the air, and it actually made a crisp sound.

The surge of Qi blew the homework on the coffee table, making it rustle.

"My turn, my turn!" Su Qiaoqiao bounced impatiently.

When Su Lei's hand rested on her back, the little girl was surprisingly quiet.

Only, her pigtails suddenly moved without wind, and the hair tie snapped with a 'pop'.

Even more miraculously, her favorite plush toy suddenly floated up from the sofa, swaying gently in the air.

"Daddy! I'm making Teddy Bear fly!"

Su Qiaoqiao shrieked with excitement, her small hands waving wildly.

The plush toy spun in circles in the air with her movements.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Lei's eyes.

His daughter had actually displayed a talent for telekinesis at the same time as her Awakening, which was extremely rare in the Martial Dao world.

"Starting tomorrow," Su Lei said, looking at his excited family members, a slight smile on his lips, "you will begin your Martial Dao Cultivation."

"Yay!"

...In the bedroom late at night, moonlight streamed through the sheer curtains, casting a silvery glow on the floor.

Li Xue凝 leaned into Su Lei's embrace, her hair still carrying the faint fresh scent of her bath.

"Are you ready?"

Su Lei's fingertips gently brushed his wife's temple.

Li Xue凝 nodded, clutching the corner of the quilt tightly.

Her eyes held both anticipation and a hint of nervousness, trembling slightly like she did on her first date with Su Lei.

When the Mental Energy seeped in like a gentle stream, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Her fingers tightly gripped her husband's pajamas, the fabric wrinkling in her grasp.

It wasn't pain, but an unprecedented tremor that reached deep into her Soul.

"Ah..."

A soft moan escaped her lips uncontrollably.

Li Xue凝 felt her consciousness expanding infinitely, as if she were being gently lifted, floating towards the clouds.

Every brain cell was rejoicing, every nerve ending was singing.

This was far purer than physical pleasure, even more... indescribable.

Her pupils dilated slightly, gleaming with a strange luster in the moonlight.

All her memories became incredibly vivid, as if they had been re-infused with life.

"I... I can't take it anymore..."

Li Xue凝 panted incoherently.

Her consciousness seemed to float and sink in a vast Mental Energy ocean, sometimes like a bird soaring in the Nine Heavens, other times like a fish diving deep into the sea.

This pleasure, transcending physiological limits,

Su Lei steadily supported his wife's trembling body, maintaining a precise rhythm in the Mental Energy transmission.

He could "see" Li Xue凝's brain region reconstructing at an astonishing speed, those dormant neural synapses Awakening like spring sprouts.

When the last trace of Mental Energy completed its cycle, Li Xue凝 collapsed into her husband's arms, drenched in sweat.

Her gaze was unfocused for a moment before refocusing, her red lips slightly parted but unable to make a sound.

This extreme Soul tremor rendered any language pale.

After a long while, she finally found her voice.

"This is... too wonderful..."

She instinctively curled tightly in Su Lei's embrace, her body still unconsciously trembling slightly, as if still savoring that ultimate, Soul-stirring experience.
