Soul Echo

Heavy exhaustion weighs on the body, much heavier than a warm quilt.

"Xiao Ye, why haven't you woken up yet?"

The mother's voice came from outside the door: "Didn't you say you want to learn martial arts with the second uncle? Are you tired after only one day? "

Zhong Ye didn't answer, just turned around, pulled the quilt up, and covered his head.

My head is groggy and I don't want to get up...

It's too cold outside, I don't want to get up...

I'm too tired to get up...

"Forget it, let me talk to Zhao second uncle, little child, it's not surprising that 3 minutes is hot..."

Zhong Ye, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly frowned , kicked off the quilt, and shouted: "Who said I was hot in 3 minutes, I'll get up and wash right away!"

Energetic and bustling to get up to wash, after breakfast, Zhong Ye put on a down jacket and sat down. The elevator goes down to the first floor.

In the open space of the community, he saw the second uncle of the next door.

"Zhao grandfather!"

Zhong Ye trotted over, the old man glanced at him, and put away his posture with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Ye, have you had breakfast yet?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Just finished eating!" The little boy answered truthfully.

The old man smiled and nodded, and said kindly, "Is that so... Then let's take a walk to digest our food. We can't exercise vigorously immediately after eating."

Zhong Ye looked thoughtful. "Oh", and when the old man put on his coat, he walked around the garden with him.

His steps were small, so the old man slowed down too.

"Remember what I taught you yesterday?" The old man's voice was soft.

Zhong Ye tried hard to recall, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said happily: "You have to learn to control the rhythm, whether it is the rhythm of breathing or the rhythm of doing things, as long as you can do it, you can double the results for half the effort."

"Yes, what should you do now?" the old man asked again.

Zhong Ye suddenly realized and began to wrestle with his own breathing. Under the peaceful sight of the old man, he gradually mastered his own breathing rhythm, and comprehended the trick of making movements follow the breath, rather than the breath following the movements.

Then, time stands still in this brief moment.

"To be honest, I really want to thank you." Zhong Ye looked up at the blue sky, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even remember it, so I was so smart when I was young."

The voice fell, and everything in front of him suddenly shattered.

…………

Except for two people standing opposite each other, the training ground was empty.

There are no weapons, no bunkers, both of them are 'bare-handed', but one of them is wearing a fully enclosed power armor, and the instantaneous output is measured in tons.

And the other, literally bare-handed, wore nothing but bandages and boots to protect his fists and feet.

"All ready?"

The voice came from speakers all around the training ground.

Although I was asking them both, it was only Zhong Ye who was actually asking.

Zhong Ye gestured towards the camera, and after a while, the countdown sounded.

As the countdown ended, Zhong Ye took the lead in attacking.

Totally enclosed power armor is a humanoid tank that moves quite slowly without the use of an external mobile device.

But on the contrary, the power armor is strong enough and its output is strong enough. If it is placed in ancient times, even if it is not equipped with weapons and other accessories, it is enough to attack the city.

[Lock the target, calculate the trajectory]

The built-in computer used the camera to lock Zhong Ye, and instantly calculated the attack method he might use. The driver did not move, because he knew, Even if he didn't move, Zhong Ye's attack couldn't hurt himself.

To use flesh and blood against the most advanced individual weapons is still too much.

The distance of more than ten meters flashed past, and Zhong Ye instantly came to the front of the power armor.

The wearer of the power armor was obviously flustered. Although the computer calculated Zhong Ye's movement trajectory, it did not calculate his movement speed.

It only took a second to reach a distance of more than ten meters. Is he still human?

The soldier didn't have time to react, and Zhong Ye's fist hit his breastplate.

The power armor stood still, but Zhong Ye felt a tremendous force coming from his wrist, as if it would shatter his arm bones.

——This is the power of anti-shock!

The power armor moved suddenly, embraced forward with both hands, and held Zhong Ye in his arms.

Zhong Ye bent his legs and slipped out of the power armor's embrace.

Zhong Ye pulled away and retreated several meters away at once. At this time, the power armor also took cumbersome steps and chased after him.

Facing the power armor, Zhong Ye felt as if he saw a war chariot ramming towards him, which was beyond human power.

Zhong Ye stood motionless on the spot. Although the soldiers in power armor clenched their fists, they also had several points of hesitation.

"Don't hesitate, attack!"

hearing this, the soldier waved his fist.

The air vibrated, wailing wu wu.

Zhong Ye didn't carry it hard, the silhouette flashed and came to the side of the power armor.

Let the toes touch the ground, the body rises into the air, and uses a side kick to hit the head of the power armor.

The power armor's shock shield is well done, however, some force seeps into the helmet and hits the soldier in the head.

By the time the arm waved, Zhong Ye had long since disappeared and ran into the distance.

Flicking his right hand, before the power armor collided again, Zhong Ye looked towards the front and attacked like a tiger.

Although protected by steel, the soldiers wearing power armor still suffered a lot of damage under Zhong Ye's bizarre strength.

Of course, in contrast, Zhong Ye's fists and feet were also covered in puffiness and bruises.

Gradually, Zhong Ye's stamina weakened, but the soldiers wearing the power armor did not show any fatigue.

It is still too whimsical to use a mortal body against a single-soldier weapon that best represents the level of modern military industry...

At this time, Zhong Ye took a deep breath and was stunned to find his body inside It seems like a thunderstorm!

Soon, he laughed again and charged the power armor one last time.

I didn't use that power, but used my fragile body to collide with steel, like history repeating itself, and fell under Iron Fist again.

The soldier wearing the power armor panicked instantly, the gate of the training ground opened suddenly, and the doctor and nurse rushed in with a stretcher and a life support system.

Lying on the ground, Zhong Ye clenched his fists tremblingly.

"Night dreams can wake people up, but can sweet dreams make people intoxicated...I understand!"

Zhong Ye grinned and waved 'weakness' to the far ceiling Powerless' fist, shattering the dream.

…………

Suddenly opening his eyes, Zhong Ye sat up from the bed.

He was breathing heavily, trying to suppress the panic in his heart.

"What's the matter?"

The woman lying beside her heard the movement and turned around sleepily.

"Had a nightmare..."

Spit out a turbid breath, Zhong Ye shook the head and lay back.

"Oh..."

Not long after, his wife fell asleep, but Zhong Ye opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

That doesn't seem like a nightmare.

In the dream, he got the extraordinary power of yearn for something even in dreams, instead of being trapped in this mortal body as he is now.

How many years have you not made progress?

After the Peak period, his physical strength seems to have also declined. Now, does he still have the courage to go to the mountains and forests alone to challenge the beasts and fight against the steel body with flesh and blood?

Zhong Ye was a little melancholy, lightly sighed, and turned to sleep.

It's just that when people are middle-aged, they have a lot of things to worry about, and it's easy to lose sleep. Zhong Ye tossed and turned on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep, and was scolded by his wife who woke up.

The relationship between the family is quite harmonious, and due to the development of the times, people no longer need to do the same job, so that Zhong Ye can live by his own dojo.

Martial arts and exercise are no longer popular, and Zhong Ye often hears students talk about body modification during recess.

Through biochemical modification and mechanical modification, people can easily obtain the strength that requires continuous exercise for more than ten years.

Zhong Ye has an indifferent expression about this, but occasionally feels that the times have changed, and he has become an outdated Ancient One.

The ordinary days passed like this, day after day, year after year, the children in the family gradually grew up, and the dojo also gradually fell into despair, becoming a dwarf.

Zhong Ye thought his whole life would pass like this, until one day, he saw a child who fell into the river...

Throw away the crutch in his hand and threw it away The shoes that got in the way, the angry middle age person jumped into the icy river and swam towards the child in the middle of the river.

There was a loud call from the shore, Zhong Ye didn't hear anything, looked at the child wholeheartedly, swam behind the child, put his arms under his armpits, and picked him up from the water.

Cheers rang out, and more people greeted them, throwing ropes and extending long poles at them.

Zhong Ye also struggled to swim, hoping to get to the shore before he ran out of energy.

However, his foot cramps!

The face was instantly distorted, and the pain came in waves.

If he was young, he would definitely be able to endure this severe pain, but now, even if he clenched his teeth, it is difficult to continue swimming toward the river bank.

People also seem to have discovered the situation and exclaimed that Zhong Ye and child are being hit by the river water, and the river is turbulent, constantly flowing over their heads.

Death was approaching Zhong Ye, and he seemed to hear a faint grin.

'...or just give up? '

There is a voice in my heart: 'Maybe this will make it easier. '

"—I'm going to fuck you!"

Zhong Ye let go of one hand, and only wrapped one hand around the child's waist, and the other hand instead of cramping legs and cut the river water.

"I never admit defeat in my life!!!"

And then——

He successfully opened his eyes and escaped from the dream of death!
