Chapter 13: Little Xixi, Peerless in Martial Arts
Chapter 13: Little Xixi, Peerless in Martial Arts
Li Che calmly held a wine cup, savoring the warm, aged yellow wine. The aroma of the wine filled his mouth, but his mind had long wandered to the vast land where the Dao Tree stood tall.
When his daughter turned one, the Dao Tree bore fruit.
The Dao Fruit, Dragon Elephant Vajra!
This was Li Che's second Dao Fruit. The first Dao Fruit, Ten Thousand Phenomena Celestial Craft, had enhanced his woodcarving talent, giving him the means to establish himself in this world.
He had also become a woodcarver at Xuji Woodcarving Shop and resided in Xuji Compound, ensuring his daughter Li Wanxi's safe growth until she turned one.
Li Che was well aware of the importance of Dao Fruits.
Therefore, he eagerly awaited the second Dao Fruit, and finally, it had matured!
Dragon Elephant Vajra (Dao Fruit): Flesh and Blood Dragon Elephant, Vajra Indestructible, Peerless in Martial Arts.
Instantly, Li Che felt his blood boil and surge within him, and vaguely, he sensed a tremendous transformation in his flesh and blood.
If he wished, he could actively stimulate the Dao Fruit, and even induce a metamorphosis in his physical body! However, with Old Chen by his side, Li Che didn't have the heart for it and didn't explore the unique abilities of the Dragon Elephant Vajra.
Flesh and Blood Dragon Elephant, Vajra Indestructible, Peerless in Martial Arts!
Li Che's heart surged with emotion, and he finished the yellow wine in his cup.
This was a Dao Fruit that could enhance his martial arts!
It was the Dao Fruit Li Che urgently needed right now!
This Dao Fruit not only confirmed the truth that his daughter would gain a Dao Fruit every year, but it also made Li Che realize he must do his utmost to protect his daughter's safe growth...
Or even, watching his daughter... achieve immortality!
Li Che's heart skipped a beat. If his daughter became immortal, gaining a Dao Fruit every year...
How far could he go if he had an abundance of Dao Fruits in the future?
"Hey, when did you become so generous with your drinking?" Old Chen gave him a strange look, his heart stirred with emotion, as Li Che finished his cup of wine.
Li Che smiled and gently gazed at Xixi, who was toddling around with a baby walker: "Unknowingly, she's already one year old..."
Old Chen's lips curved into a smile, and his doting eyes returned to Xixi.
"Yes, she was so small before, and now she's grown a bit."
"I, Old Man, have no children, no descendants... This little Xixi, she has a special connection with me."
Old Chen also finished his cup of aged wine, feeling refreshed and clearing away his gloom.
From now on, Xixi was his granddaughter!
Seemingly understanding Old Chen's words, Li Che poured him another cup, and the two clinked their cups and drank.
...
...
Training Ground.
Heavy snow fell.
Several figures trained vigorously in the training ground, their blood and energy surging and boiling, dispersing the flying snow.
Li Che changed into his training clothes and arrived at the training ground.
In the distance, two figures spotted Li Che and immediately paused their movements, exhaling hot breath.
Zhao Xuan had a slender figure, her black hair tied up, and she was extremely efficient. She smiled and said, "Isn't today Xixi's first birthday celebration?"
Another practitioner, Wang Zhengping, also smiled, "I was just planning to finish training and then attend the celebration with Zhao Xuan."
"Hahaha, you both should go, it's Xixi's first birthday. As her uncle and aunt, you can't skimp on the gifts!" Li Che laughed.
"The banquet is set at Spring Wind Tower in the Outer City. Spring Wind Tower sent a chef and helpers, everything is taken care of. Since Xixi is with Old Chen, I'm free. Let's go and not forget the gifts!"
Wang Zhengping responded, "A banquet at Spring Wind Tower, seems we'll have a feast tonight."
After some casual conversation, the three continued their martial arts training.
Previously, Xu You had mentioned that if they wanted to achieve perfect skin polishing, they would need to diligently cultivate for two years. If they slackened, it might take even longer.
Therefore, the three of them dared not slack off in the slightest.
Li Che was several years older than Zhao Xuan and Wang Zhengping, being around twenty years old, but he was only three or four years older than them.
If he didn't work hard enough, as he aged and his vital energy declined, it would become even more challenging to make progress in the Martial Way.
So Xu Beihu had said that the most important thing in body tempering was diligence, racing against time.
For the past year, Li Che had been practicing martial arts in the morning, carving wood sculptures in the afternoon, and experimenting with mechanisms in the evening...
It was a busy and fulfilling life.
He hadn't neglected his skin tempering, and he had already achieved minor success in skin polishing.
In terms of progress, he was slightly ahead of Zhao Xuan and Wang Zhengping.
Although Xu Beihu said that body tempering didn't rely heavily on innate talent, there would still be subtle differences.
Now, Li Che had come to the training ground to verify the Dao Fruit of the Dragon Elephant Vajra.
Gripping the stone lock, his vital energy surged within him, and the boiling blood water rushed through his flesh, causing his skin membrane to be instantly struck by a surge of red light, making it glow with heat and power!
At the same time, the Dragon Elephant Vajra's Dao Fruit seemed to be fully activated as he stimulated his vital energy. A notification appeared before his eyes:
Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv1, 1%)
Joy radiated from his pupils, and an invisible force spread throughout his body, impacting the skin membrane as if thousands of strikes had occurred in an instant, rapidly accelerating the skin polishing process!
Li Che, who had achieved minor success in skin polishing, suddenly felt his strength surge and his skin membrane become incredibly resilient, even emitting a subtle glow. It was as if he had borrowed the activating power of the Dao Fruit, leaping from minor success in skin polishing to... instant perfection!
Unlike the Dragon Elephant Vajra's Dao Fruit, the maturity of the Dragon Elephant Elixir's Dao Fruit only required his diligent practice to achieve! In other words, he could grind it out!
Li Che was overjoyed, and with a thought, the subtle glow on his body and the powerful aura vanished.
It was as if he had completely disappeared from the world.
"Controlling it at will, a necessary Dao Fruit for stealthy individuals!"
His vital energy was completely concealed, not a trace of it revealed.
"With this, I won't have to worry about being suspected due to my rapid improvement. My innate talent... Xu Beihu has tested it. If I improve too quickly, I'll definitely be suspected, and may even bring disaster upon myself."
"In such chaotic times, it's impossible for Xuji to survive without being ruthless..."
"So, it's best to remain vigilant."
Li Che paused for a moment, then exhaled softly.
Following the skin polishing cultivation method in the training ground, he cultivated for half a day.
Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv1, 2%)
The Dao Fruit's maturity increased by 1%.
The smile on Li Che's face grew brighter, and taking advantage of the moment when no one was around, he once again unleashed the vital energy contained within the Dao Fruit.
In an instant, his vital energy surged again, reaching perfection in skin polishing, and his skin membrane glowed with a faint golden light. His temples throbbed, and powerful energy coursed through his fists.
Experiencing the 1% increase in maturity and the resulting boost in strength... Li Che's expression turned to joy, meaning that he was now qualified to challenge the Inner Strength Technique! It was time to begin cultivating the Inner Strength Technique!
Additionally, the Dragon Elephant Vajra's Dao Fruit had a special effect of unleashing the power of the dragon elephant, but the training ground was too crowded, so Li Che couldn't use it.
However, one could imagine that the activation of the dragon elephant's power would bring even greater improvement! He reabsorbed the vital energy back into the Dao Fruit.
Li Che tilted his head back, and snowflakes gently fell on his face.
A smile couldn't help but spread across his lips.
In terms of personal martial prowess...
The future was finally looking bright!
