Chapter 152: Xi Xi's Fatal Weakness, Dao Fruit's Second Transformation and Divine Ability: Star Snat
Chapter 152: Xi Xi's Fatal Weakness, Dao Fruit's Second Transformation and Divine Ability: Star Snatching (Part 2)
The more seal techniques he mastered, the greater the difficulty.
He felt that the rank of the Mechanism Nine Seals even surpassed that of supreme arts.
"Drones... a skilled operator for aerial bombing."
Li Che smiled, quite pleased with the Spirit Crane.
Moreover, the mechanical beast he crafted possessed a unique sentience...
Infused with the Soul Siphoning Spirit Lighting of his Divine Ability, Star Snatching Eye, it was incredibly lifelike and responsive.
It was as if it were a real spiritual crane.
Gong Yangxiu and Gong Yuanliang, standing nearby, had admiration sparkling in their eyes.
Xixi's father is so amazing.
The wooden bird he made can actually fly.
Unlike their fathers, who only know how to listen to songs in brothels.
Lu Chi's shock was the greatest, as he understood what this meant—Li Che had grasped the core of the Tang Clan's mechanism techniques! Not only could he craft the outer form of the mechanical beast, but he could also bestow abilities upon it!
Suddenly, Lu Chi felt a chill down his spine.
Because he realized that Li Che was looking at him with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, and that gaze made him feel a sense of horror that made his hairs stand on end.
Lu Chi felt that his astonishment was a bit inappropriate for a child of his age.
It was only when comparing his father to Gong Yangxiu and Gong Yuanliang's, feeling that his father was useless, that he felt he was in the right.
Li Che withdrew his gaze from Lu Chi.
Lu Chi...
His identity seemed a bit unusual.
However, Li Che didn't pursue the matter further, and even Li Qing Shan, Lu Chi's master, didn't seem to mind, so why should he care? Considering Lu Chi's behavior up to this point, as long as Lu Chi didn't intend to harm Xixi, Li Che wouldn't try to test the feel of throwing a large stone.
He clapped his hands.
The Spirit Crane immediately flew down, and Xixi hugged it.
"No, Daddy... Let Xixi play with the big crane for a little longer!"
Xixi raised a plump index finger, furrowing her brows and bringing them close to her small nose, as she pleaded to Li Che.
But Li Che's expression turned stern.
"No!"
"Have you finished the writing assignment Elder Zhang gave you?"
Li Che asked.
"You can play after you finish the assignment. The crane is right here, and you can play with it anytime. If you don't finish the assignment, tomorrow you'll get Elder Zhang's ruler, and you'll cry with a red nose again."
Li Che was strict and impartial.
After all, this little girl had been beaten with the ruler countless times.
"Look, Xiu Xiu and Liang Liang have finished their assignments, and you only know how to play!"
Xixi was struck as if by lightning, her soul leaving her body as she tumbled down from the crane's back.
The crane, full of spirit, nuzzled its head against Xixi's face, as if comforting her.
Xixi looked at Li Che with despair.
"Daddy..."
"Pouting won't help." Li Che crossed his arms.
Xixi's little face instantly turned red with frustration.
She was so wronged.
"Liang Liang and Xiu Xiu, their names are so easy to write, but mine is so long..."
Elder Zhang Qingzheng's assignment for them was to copy their names.
Each person had to write their name one hundred times.
If they didn't finish, they would have to write it an additional one hundred times the next day.
Xixi...
Not a single day had she completed it.
Now, she had accumulated this task to eight hundred times.
Elder Zhang Qingzheng's face was twisted with anger.
He admired Xixi's talent, but... he was still angry.
Hearing this, Li Che felt a bit guilty and rubbed Xixi's head.
"Daddy, who gave Xixi her name? Why doesn't she have to do the assignment?"
"Why couldn't you give me a simpler name, like Li Yiyi?"
Xixi crossed her arms, looking very angry.
Xixi the Emperor wanted to change her name!
Xixi the Emperor liked fighting and fireworks, but she hated writing her name the most.
If only her name could be a bit simpler.
But if she changed her name... Xixi the Emperor wouldn't be Xixi the Emperor anymore.
It was so frustrating.
Xixi's brows furrowed together.
"Oh, your name was given by your grandpa." Li Che joined in the scolding, speaking seriously.
Xixi immediately stamped her foot, "Grandpa doesn't do his assignments, I hate him!"
"Alright, go now. Finish copying your name, and Daddy will bring you some delicious food, tanghulu, sweet and sour spareribs, or braised pork?"
"Xixi wants all of them!" Xixi's eyes lit up.
Li Che rubbed her head, "Okay, then go."
Although the motivation of delicious food was there.
But Xixi still walked towards the study with heavy steps.
In the study, Li Che had prepared a small table for the children, with brushes, ink, and paper laid out on it.
The Spirit Crane and the little butterfly watched Xixi do her assignment.
Xixi sat in the child-sized chair that Li Che had carefully crafted for her, her heart trembling as she picked up the shaking brush...
Her little face turned pale, her eyes filled with tears, and her mouth pouted as she began to write her name...
Li Nuoxi... she finished writing one.
Seven hundred and ninety-nine more to go.
It was over.
Xixi the Emperor's world...
Had lost its light.
...
...
Xixi still couldn't finish writing her name.
She would have to add another one hundred to the tally.
The record had now reached nine hundred.
Xixi was so heartbroken that Li Che had to take her to Golden Peak.
Upon arriving at Golden Peak, Li Che was surprised to find that it was livelier than usual, according to his perception.
In the large courtyard, a group of unfamiliar children had gathered, not resembling the new disciples of the Heavenly Origin Orthodoxy's branch sects.
Li Che held Xixi, whose eyes still glistened with tears, seemingly attracted by the scene as well.
In the distance, Sang Guanyin walked over in a gentle yellow dress.
"Xixi Senior Sister, what's going on here?"
Li Che asked in confusion.
Xixi hugged Li Che's neck, also curious as she blinked her big eyes.
"The Divine Children and Spiritual Children from the Dao City's Heavenly Origin Orthodoxy have officially come to pay their respects to the mountain, warming up for the upcoming Temple God Resonance."
Sang Guanyin spoke with a gentle and serene voice.
"Among them are several Divine Children like Xixi... Does Xixi's father want to stay and watch?"
"Later, they might challenge Xixi, and you can see the progress of her cultivation over these days."
Sang Guanyin invited.
Li Che's heart stirred, but he still shook his head, "I have business at the Heavenly Divination Bureau, and today the Junior Supervisor is sending the Woodcarving Masters to the Fire-Eye Thunderous Spirit Ape's Strange Temple to observe the Temple God."
Li Che had been looking forward to the new Strange Temple for a long time.
Naturally, he didn't want to miss it.
Moreover...
If he wanted to observe, he didn't need to be close by.
He had left the Thunderbolt Chess Piece on Xixi, allowing him to observe her situation at any time.
Hearing this, Sang Guanyin didn't invite him further.
She also understood that for a Woodcarving Master, entering the Strange Temple to observe the Temple God was an extremely important matter.
In the Dao City, the Divine Child's challenges and exchanges were merely leisure activities, not as significant as Temple God Resonance.
Sang Guanyin hugged Xi Xi and wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief she always carried.
"What's wrong with Xi Xi? Why is she crying?" Sang Guanyin asked gently.
"Sister Yin Yin, please save Xi Xi..." Xi Xi immediately hugged Sang Guanyin and burst into tears.
"Xi Xi's name is too difficult to write!"
Sang Guanyin: "..."
Oh dear, poor Xi Xi.
Even the master couldn't help in this situation.
...
...
Falling Flower Lane.
In the courtyard.
"Hoo—"
Accompanied by a long breath, it was like a giant whale breathing, slowly stirring the airflow, brushing past the snow and wood shavings.
Li Che's body was filled with steaming sweat, and the scorching temperature caused the courtyard's atmosphere to rise significantly.
He stood still, his fingers curled like hooks, and suddenly grabbed out, causing the airflow to explode with a sound like roaring and howling dragons!
Two Qi-Blood Dragon Snakes surged out, winding and striking, like divine whips lashing, tearing the air and causing it to burst with a booming sound!
"Eight Dragons Tumbling in the River, the second Qi-Blood Dragon Snake... Condense!"
"The third Qi-Blood Dragon Snake, and it's Minor Achievement!"
Li Che's movements suddenly changed again, countless thunder arcs danced and jumped, and his entire body in the courtyard transformed into countless lightning flashes!
"Lower Rank Supreme Art, Azure Thunder Body is thoroughly Minor Achievement!"
"Azure Thunder True Form!"
Upon achieving Minor Achievement, one can manifest the True Form. At the master level, one can manifest the Supreme Art's true intent. Upon reaching the Transformation Realm, one can manifest the True Intent Domain!
This is the cultivation level of the Grandmaster's Supreme Art.
With the True Form achieved, the Azure Thunder Body formed around Li Che, resembling interwoven thunder armor, greatly enhancing his speed, strength, and explosive power.
Li Che dispersed the Azure Thunder Body, and with his index and middle fingers together, he suddenly pointed out, causing sword Qi to surge and clamor within the courtyard!
Upper Rank Supreme Art, Lu Xuan Sword Scripture!
Minor Achievement Realm!
Li Che was organizing his martial arts, and the Dao Fruit of Lion Elephant Vajra throbbed, elevating his martial arts talent and allowing him to comprehend and merge with nature.
After practicing for a while, Li Che's body suddenly stretched, as if every muscle was trembling, and a roaring sound emanated from every cell.
Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant!
With his self-created Supreme Art, he stepped into Minor Achievement! Behind Li Che, it was as if a dragon and elephant's illusory shadow appeared!
The power of five dragons and five elephants!
His arms resembled an elephant's trunk, and his strikes were like dragon tails sweeping out, causing the air in the courtyard to dent and form a large pit. The fierce airflow howled and raged.
Li Che slowly finished his move, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Not bad."
"Mid-stage Grandmaster."
Li Che felt the greatly enhanced molten Qi-Blood, and his mood was excellent.
At the Grandmaster level, one cultivates the Supreme Art. When the Supreme Art improves, one's cultivation will naturally advance as well!
Li Che's Grandmaster cultivation was linked to his self-created Supreme Art, Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant.
Upon reaching Minor Achievement, he also officially entered the mid-stage Grandmaster level.
A simple wash and grooming.
Li Che changed into a clean ink-colored shirt.
The Painter of Immortals' clone divided into seven, with six clones cultivating their nature and one focusing on researching the Lotus of Guan Yin Main Battle Tank and mechanisms.
Li Che put on a bamboo hat and headed towards the Treasure Tower of the Heavenly Divination Bureau.
Today... he was going to visit the Imperial Strange Temple, the Fire-Eye Thunderous Spirit Ape, as promised by the supervisor.
He finally had the opportunity to touch a new Temple God.
This Temple God observation was postponed for a few days.
Li Che had been eagerly awaiting this day.
Arriving at the Treasure Tower of the Heavenly Divination Bureau.
Outside, numerous carriages of the Bureau were waiting.
Junior Supervisor Gong Yunli and Gong Yang Liancheng each sat in a carriage.
"Ah Che, come, ride with me."
Gong Yunli lifted the curtain and, seeing Li Che, greeted him with delight.
This attracted the attention of many Woodcarving Masters.
Almost all the Third Rank Guest Scholars who were Woodcarving Masters from the Bureau were going to observe the Temple God this time.
After all, it wasn't easy to enter the mysterious temple guarded by the Temple Administration's heavy troops.
Li Che faced Gong Yunli's enthusiasm without much concern and calmly entered the carriage.
Traveling with this clear-eyed but foolish-looking junior supervisor, Li Che could put aside many of his suspicions.
Gong Yunli was delighted.
As soon as they entered the carriage, Gong Yunli poured a cup of tea for Li Che.
"I heard there's an exciting event happening on Golden Peak today. Three Divine Children from Dao City want to challenge your Xi Xi, right?"
Gong Yunli's fair cheeks were lightly powdered, but they were flushed with curiosity, eager to hear the latest gossip.
Li Che smiled and corrected, "They're challenging my Xi Xi."
"It's a pity that you're going to observe the Temple God and can't watch this battle."
Li Che smiled gently and lightly agreed, "Yes, what a pity."
His mind stirred.
In the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
The Thunderbolt Chess Piece left in Xi Xi's body trembled.
Instantly, a scene appeared before his eyes.
Golden Peak's Large Courtyard.
Xi Xi the Emperor stood with her hands on her hips, chin raised, accompanied by the Divine Automaton Beast Crane and a mysterious little one.
Standing in the midst of the raging wind.
Facing the challenges from the Dao City's Divine Children!
Xi Xi the Emperor was never afraid of fighting!
Except for writing names!
Writing names was Xi Xi the Emperor's fatal weakness!
Just as Li Che was about to enjoy the spectacle, suddenly—
On the chessboard, a Temple Deity Divine Chess Piece was crushed with a 'pa-da' sound, shattering into Divine Essence mist.
Li Che was startled, and his eyes flickered slightly.
This wasn't a signal of a family member in danger.
It was the Temple Deity Divine Chess Piece he had left with Nan Lihuo for communication. If they needed to initiate action, they would crush the chess piece as a signal.
Nan Lihuo had spent a considerable price to hire Niu Mo Horse Face to hunt down the Divine Archer Wen Longshan, who was by Su Huaili's side.
Now...
Nan Lihuo had crushed this chess piece.
It seemed they were preparing to take action!
After such a long time, Nan Lihuo hadn't made any moves, and Li Che thought he had forgotten.
Nan Lihuo's four Eight Extremes Aura Crystals, given as a deposit, had all been used up by Li Che.
Inside the carriage, Li Che withdrew his consciousness from the Heaven and Earth Chessboard. His eyes flickered, and he gently picked up the teacup, taking a sip. A cold, sinister smile curved his lips.
Thinking of the Divine Archer who had shot hidden arrows three times, a killing intent surged.
Divine Archer Wen Longshan...
Your time has come!
