In Jiangnan Province, Dragon City.

It was extremely hot and stuffy in August. It was almost the evening now. Thunder was rumbling constantly in the sky, indicating that there was going to be a storm.

Li Dalong felt dizzy and tired today. His eyelids were twitching wildly. He took a half-day leave from his work at a restaurant and fell into a deep slumber at home.

However, after a while, he was awakened by the ringing of his phone.

He grabbed the electronic phone he had bought for 1,000 yuan in a daze and pressed the answer button. Suddenly, the sound of crying came from the other end of the line.

"What happened, Xiaowen?" Upon hearing the crying, Li Dalong vaguely felt a little uneasy.

"Dalong... Dad had a car accident... Quick, come to... the Third Public Hospital... Oh... the doctor said... He needs a lot of money for the operation... That driver who hit him... had also asked dad to pay for his car... Wah..." The little girl cried on the phone. She sounded really helpless.

"Xiaowen! Don't worry! I'll come right away! Wait for me!" When the girl finished speaking on the other end of the line, Li Dalong suddenly jumped up from his bed. He looked extremely flustered.

Because he was still not feeling well, he almost fell off the bed. However, he forced himself to stand steadily with a tense look on his face.

Li Dalong was wearing only a pair of pants now. He was 1.7 meters tall and it was not outstanding, but his body was very sturdy. His abs and pectoral muscles were impressive, which had something to do with his fondness for sports since he was a child.

He was not very handsome, but he wore a buzz cut. He liked to treat people kindly with a smile, so he had a vibe of a friendly person.

But now his kind face was shadowed by gloominess!

His father was in a car accident!

Li Dalong was both shocked and devastated by this news.

Li Dalong, a twenty-year-old male who dropped out of high school after his second year. He had been working outside since then. Now he was a chef in a restaurant.

He had a father, a younger sister, and a younger brother. When his mother gave birth to his younger brother, she died from difficult labor, unfortunately. He had not experienced maternal love since he was a child, and he deeply understood the pain of lacking maternal love. He cherished his family very much.

To Li Dalong, his family was the most important, and he valued the health and safety of his entire family the most!

As for his father, he had raised the three of them since they were young and had put in a lot of hard work. He was also the biggest supporter of his three children.

Now, their supporter had collapsed with a loud bang.

Li Dalong's mind was in a mess at the moment.

He hurriedly put on a pair of shorts, a cheap white T-shirt, and a pair of running shoes that were easy to walk in. When he was about to go out, he remembered that he forgot the most important thing.

He grabbed the money he saved after working for so many years from the lowest compartment of the wardrobe. Then he picked up the bank card and rushed outside in a hurry.

He lived in an old-fashioned apartment building behind the restaurant he worked at, which served as the staff's dormitory as well.

Of course, there was no elevator here. He had to run from the fourth floor to the first floor in one go.

"In order to reach the Third Public Hospital, I have to take a bus and waste a lot of time. My father's surgery needs money, so I will need to pay it directly later! But I have to go to the bank nearby to get the money first!" Li Dalong was thinking about this.

Rumble! Rumble!

With the loud sound of thunder, large raindrops began to fall from the sky.

The shower was usually too sudden. Li Dalong didn't bring an umbrella with him, but he was worried sick now and didn't care about it at all. He rushed to the bank nearby.

The bank was about three streets away from his current position. Although daytime in summer was long, the sky was gloomy and even a little dark because of the rain. He couldn't see everything clearly.

Li Dalong had something on his mind, so he was a little anxious as he walked. His gaze was a little unfocused. In a trance, he saw a student dressed in a school uniform in front of him, ready to cross the road.

He noticed that a car was approaching at a fast speed from the other side of the street.

The girl in front was walking with an umbrella. She seemed to listen to her music with headphones as she hummed. She didn't notice the speeding car at all.

Judging by the path they're taking, there would be a collision after three seconds!

Li Dalong was shocked. Although he was worried about his father, at this moment, he instinctively rushed to the figure in front of him.

"Watch out!"

Li Dalong shouted and suddenly pounced on the figure in front of him.

There was the squealing of a break!

The car screeched loudly as the break squealed. Apparently, the driver had realized what was going on.

Bam!

However, at the moment when Li Dalong rushed over, the car still crashed into him because it was too fast.

Li Dalong and the other girl flew to the side due to the impact. Because of Li Dalong's protection, almost all the collision force of the car was on his body.

The duo was knocked eight meters away before stopping. An umbrella was lying beside them, and dark red blood flowed from Li Dalong's body mixed with the rainwater.  The street was covered in red.

The drunk driver got off the car and took a look. He shivered suddenly. Obviously, he was frightened. After seeing that there was no one around, he quickly got on the car and drove away directly, leaving the two injured people behind.

"Father..." Li Dalong was badly injured. When his consciousness was wavering, he murmured.

Rumble! Rumble!

At this moment, there was another crash of thunder across the sky.

This sound was extremely strange. Its noise was extremely loud. Almost everyone in the Dragon City heard it, and they looked at the sky. They were clearly shocked.

This sound was the last sound Li Dalong heard before he completely lost consciousness. The sound seemed to be amplified in his ears, and the rumbling kept echoing.

"In the vast universe, countless lives are dying at this moment. Some deserve to die, but some deserve to live. You saved a person while disregarding your own safety, which shows that you're a good person, so you probably won't descent into the Devil's Path in the future. I hope you can continue the legacy of my Heaven-seeking Creed... Alas... My wish as the Dragon-seeking Saint has been fulfilled!" A faint voice suddenly sounded in Li Dalong's mind. He had already fainted.

Then, three dazzling spots of light sped down from the distant sky. In an instant, they came to Li Dalong and plunged into his forehead.

Although it was raining heavily, soon someone discovered the car crash and saw the injured people by the roadside. They called the police. Immediately, an ambulance came to take Li Dalong and another wounded person to the nearby First Public Hospital.

Li Dalong had a dream.

In his dream, an old Taoist priest wearing a yin-yang Taoist robe told him a lot of information about a creed called Heaven-seeking Path. He also said that Li Dalong was the 13th generation direct disciple of Heaven-seeking Path and that he would its leader in the future!

The old Taoist priest also imparted the main training method of the Heaven-seeking Path: the Heaven-seeking Manual; a secret manual for producing pills: the Alchemy And Herbs Manual; and the most precious treasure of the Heaven-seeking Creed: the Dragon-seeking Eye, to him.

The dream was too real, but it was something beyond his knowledge, so he woke up at once.

"Where am I?"

Pain! There was pain from several parts of his body, especially his back, left arm, and left leg. There was also a sense of dizziness.

Li Dalong glanced around and found himself lying on a hospital bed. There were some equipment and machines around for monitoring his condition. Obviously, this was a hospital.

"Is this First Public Hospital? Father!" Seeing the labels on the equipment, he suddenly remembered what he was doing before he passed out. He abruptly thought of his father and became anxious.

Without hesitation, he pulled out all the monitoring wires attached to him. Then he got up and was ready to go out of the emergency room.

"Hey! What's wrong with you! You're injured! You can't leave! You haven't been examined yet!" A nurse came in and shouted.

"Doctor! Come here, doctor! This injured patient is going to escape!" Another nurse also stopped Li Dalong.

"What's going on!" A doctor in a white coat with glasses came in surrounded by some assistants.

"Go back and lie down!" The doctor looked at Li Dalong sternly, and his assistants pulled Li Dalong to the bed.

"I'm fine! I don't need treatment! I have something to do! Let me go!" Li Dalong was worried about his father and roared anxiously.

"Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor? You survived a serious car accident and need to be monitored and treated! Without my permission, you can't go anywhere!" The doctor said sternly.

"Dr. Chen, this guy is so strong! It doesn't look like he was involved in a car crash at all!"

"That's right! I almost can't hold him down!"

The assistants were young and strong medical students, who had just graduated from the university. Even they were a little unable to hold Li Dalong down.

"How is it possible?" The doctor didn't believe it. When Li Dalong was sent in, he saw the latter bleed a lot. No matter how strong a man was, he would lose his strength if he lost too much blood.

"I've told you, I'm fine!" Li Dalong hurriedly said because he was in a hurry to send money to his father.

"I'll give you a checkup. If everything is really fine, I'll let you leave!" Dr. Chen said.

Li Dalong had no choice but to agree. He knew that he would not be able to leave if he didn't agree to the examination.

After the examination, Dr. Chen was surprised to find that no bones or organs were hurt other than a few external injuries. He didn't even have a slight concussion. What's more, so much blood was lost, but the level of the blood was normal. Dr. Chen was very surprised. It was obvious that he had never encountered such a situation.

He had to sign the discharge helplessly and let Li Dalong leave.

"By the way, how much is the examination fee?" Li Dalong thought that it would cost some money since he did the examination.

"You don't have to pay for it. Someone has already paid it for you!" Dr. Chen said.

"Who is the kind person?" Li Dalong was puzzled, but at the moment he was worried about his father and did not want to delve into it now. He walked out of the hospital.

......

In another luxury ward.

"Miss, are you awake? It's okay. It's just some scrapes on the skin and mild injuries. The doctor said that there won't be any scars," an amiable old man said to the girl on the hospital bed.

It was a young and beautiful girl. Even with bandages on her head, her face still looked beautiful. At this moment, she said weakly, "Mr. He, how's the man who saved me? He should be badly injured since he stood in front of me, right?"

The butler pondered for a while and said, "He is fine. He has been discharged from the hospital."

"Huh?" The beautiful girl was very surprised. When she was hit, although she was protected, she still felt a huge impact. Under that kind of impact, she didn't believe that the other party was fine. But since the butler said so, it had to be true because he would never lie to her.

Upon hearing that the other party was fine, the beautiful girl seemed to be relieved. Then she said, "Mr. He, please help me look into his contact information. I want to know his address and thank him personally."

"Are you thanking him? Miss, I don't think it's necessary. He is fine anyway, isn't he?" Mr. He was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, I have to thank him!" The young girl's eyes were firm. She remembered that a figure had rushed over and protected her at the moment of the car accident.
