Chapter 202: Seven Years Old, a Million Catties of Divine Power (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Votes)
The Graceful Sword Technique, Fluttering Like a Dragon.
Li Hao did not hide his talent. With a casual movement, he performed the Sword Techniques that the Instructor had just demonstrated, executing them with remarkable dexterity.
The Instructor was stunned, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
But before he could fully recover from his shock, Li Hao continued, and on the second attempt, he reached the Perfection Level.
The Instructor was struck as if by lightning, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets as he stared at Li Hao in utter amazement. To reach Perfection Level in just two tries?!
Li Hao casually flicked the sword and presented the hilt to the Instructor.
The Instructor, still dazed, took the sword. He turned to look at Li Tianzong, knowing that even without saying anything, the child's talent in the Sword Dao was already evident and terrifying.
Sure enough, Li Tianzong was standing there, dumbfounded. It wasn't until Li Hao finished his sword dance that he finally snapped out of it. He couldn't help but stomp his foot in excitement and ran up to Li Hao, saying:
"Little Ten, is this your first time practicing the sword?"
He grabbed Li Hao's shoulder, his expression brimming with excitement.
"Um-hmm."
Li Hao saw the trembling excitement in his eyes and felt the moment was so real.
"My son is a prodigy!"
Li Tianzong, overcome with excitement, lifted Li Hao high into the air and spun him around several times before setting him down. He then turned to the Instructor and said, "Did you see that? Did you see that?!"
The Instructor, still reeling from the shock, quickly composed himself and respectfully said, "Congratulations, Master. Young Master Ten's talent in the Sword Dao is unparalleled. He has the potential to become a Sword Saint in the future!"
"What Sword Saint? He's a Sword God!"
Li Tianzong said excitedly, "Sword Saints weren't nearly as wise as a child. Being able to practice to the dexterity level after one glance is already impressive, but my son achieved perfection right away!"
The Instructor thought about it and realized it was true. He was even more amazed and offered his congratulations again.
"With such talent in the Sword Dao, combined with my son's innate abilities, he will surely be renowned across the land in just ten years!"
Li Tianzong laughed loudly, his voice echoing throughout the area.
Those from the Li Family's Main Lineage and Secondary Lineage, who had witnessed the scene, were left speechless with shock.
They didn't find Li Tianzong's bold claims exaggerated, given the child's truly terrifying performance!
"Little Ten!"
The nine siblings from the Qinglian Courtyard surrounded him, their faces a mix of shock and excitement.
Li Tianzong smiled and said, "From now on, Little Ten will be Cultivating here. Take good care of him."
"Sure."
They all nodded and then began examining Li Hao as if they were looking for lice, touching him here and there.
Li Hao felt a bit helpless. These idle chats were moments he wished to skip, as he needed to focus on Cultivation.
Li Tianzong gave the Instructor a few more instructions and then left to attend to his Military Affairs.
After he was gone, Li Hao resumed his Cultivation with the Instructor.
However, upon realizing that the Instructor's teachings were mostly basic, Li Hao decided to skip this period.
Spending his clear-headed time on such basic Cultivation was pointless; it would be better to earn artistic experience.
Coming to the Training Grounds to Cultivate was just to lay the groundwork for his future display of strength.
...
Time passed.
After entering the Training Grounds at the age of six, Li Hao truly began to show his potential and embarked on the path of Cultivation.
The numerous Cultivation Techniques he had previously recorded could now be practiced. He repeatedly performed the Body Refinement Techniques, his muscles and blood surging with power, his Cultivation rapidly advancing. He quickly reached the Tenth Level of Power Mastery and then continued to break through, achieving the Complete Circulation Realm!
Using his own flesh and blood to cultivate, Li Hao forced himself to the Circulating Heaven limit. The power in just one of his arms alone was over thirty thousand pounds!
Li Hao knew that this was not the limit.
He invested two more Art Skill Points, upgrading Flesh Dao from the fourth stage to the sixth stage.
A multitude of Body Refinement Techniques were rederived, evolving, and their quality and levels improved. Additionally, with the enhanced understanding of the Dao Realm and the inspiration from various cultivation techniques, he derived seven or eight powerful cultivation methods.
After practicing these, Li Hao's physical power increased once more, breaking through the Soul Succession Realm bottleneck. He could now communicate with the power of heaven and earth, condensing his True Soul and inspecting his meridians internally, with his will as sharp as a divine saber!
His eyes gleamed with a cold, divine light, and his mental strength surged. Even if he didn't sleep for a month, he would remain spirited and alert!
At this moment, his power had reached over 900,000 pounds, nearing the Force Mastery limit of a million pounds, almost touching the Divine Power State.
Unfortunately, the Body Refinement Techniques in the Rain Listening Pavilion were fewer than what he had previously obtained, lacking the brutal Body Cultivation Techniques of the Demons.
Those Body Cultivation Techniques were suitable for Demons, crude and savage, providing a significant boost to physical power.
Li Hao had three Art Skill Points left, and he used them all on Yudao.
For this cultivation, Li Hao planned to focus on Flesh Dao and Yudao, with Sword Dao and Body Movement Techniques as secondary priorities. The remaining Art Skill Points would be used on Fist Dao last.
Fist Technique greatly enhances arm power, which in turn benefits Sword Dao and offensive capabilities. However, with insufficient Art Skill Points, he could only prioritize it last.
Li Hao came to the Rain Listening Pavilion to collect numerous Meridian Opening Techniques and Qi Circulation Techniques.
At the same time, he took the opportunity to seek out Li Xiaoran, hoping to find some Demons Cultivation Techniques.
Although Li Xiaoran didn't know what Li Hao was up to, he was stunned when he saw that Li Hao, at just six years old, could display the aura of the Zhou Tian Realm in front of him.
Though he was restarting his cultivation, his previous insights were sealed, making this journey no easier than the first. However, his more mature mind and deeper understanding of the Martial Dao allowed him to make a more reasonable cultivation plan.
"How did you cultivate so quickly?" he couldn't help but ask.
Li Hao smiled, "Maybe I just have good talent."
Li Xiaoran was speechless.
He had heard about Li Hao's talent, the Transcendent Saint Posture, a legendary level of talent. No wonder it was so impressive.
"It seems you truly are the hope of our Li Family", Li Xiaoran said softly.
Hearing this, Li Hao was slightly taken aback but shook his head without saying anything.
Li Xiaoran found a locked shelf on the sixth floor, rummaged through the bottom layer, and took out three Demons Cultivation Techniques, handing them to Li Hao:
"These are Demons Cultivation Techniques. We can't cultivate them due to our different body structures and meridians. They are only useful for reference in the Martial Dao and to understand the Demons better."
Li Hao didn't say much, but he took them and began to study them carefully.
Soon, the three cultivation techniques were stored in his Panel, and after being transformed by Flesh Dao, they were now suitable for human cultivation.
"Thank you."
Li Hao thanked Li Xiaoran and returned the cultivation techniques.
Seeing that Li Hao had only taken a look, Li Xiaoran didn’t say anything more. After all, Li Hao had already reached the Three Eternities Realm outside Mourning River. Taking a peek at these cultivation techniques might help him when he eventually comprehends the Tianren Realm.
Li Hao bid farewell to Li Xiaoran and continued his own cultivation.
The three demon cultivation techniques had refined his physical body to the point where it was as solid as a golden statue, endowed with unimaginable strength.
In the Rain Listening Pavilion, Li Hao found the chess manual he had seen earlier and used the Myriad Phenomena Chess Spectrum to cover his cultivation, avoiding drawing too much attention.
Although his previously displayed talent was already legendary, and his cultivation speed was beyond what most could imagine, he couldn’t exceed it too much. At just six years old, if he were to directly reveal a divine power of a million pounds, he would be considered a monster!
This wasn’t just shocking; it was terrifying!
Seven years old.
After Li Hao had been on the cultivation path for a year, which in reality had only taken about ten days due to his accelerated time, the Training Grounds were bustling with people.
Today was the sparring competition, a way to assess the progress of the disciples in their cultivation.
Bang!
A nine-year-old child, his Qi Power bursting forth, swung his long spear and sent a robust young man flying.
The young man was at least thirteen or fourteen, but he was overwhelmingly defeated by the nine-year-old.
"Good, well done!"
Li Tianzong had come to watch, sitting with Chen Hefang, and between them was a plate of fruits and pastries.
Li Tianzong cheered and clapped loudly, not minding the attention.
On the stage, nine-year-old Li Junye, with a burgeoning aura of heroism, turned to look at his father’s applause and smiled slightly. Then he said:
"Li Tian, come and fight me!"
"Fight, I will!"
A young man stepped forward from the crowd, about the same age as the one who had just been defeated, but with a more upright posture and a battle knife in hand.
At the instructor’s command, the two engaged in a fierce battle.
Li Tianzong watched with great interest, smiling. "Junye is truly extraordinary. At just nine years old, he has already reached the Complete Circulation Realm, and he has even opened the Yin-Yang Dual Meridians!"
"His Yang Meridian is innate, and he opened the Yin Pulse himself. His talent is truly rare."
Chen Hefang nodded with a smile. "The instructor says that he understands everything at first hearing and can master it after just one attempt!"
Li Tianzong laughed, picked up a pastry, and took a bite, his eyes lingering on it. "Xiao Shi’s skills are getting better and better."
Chen Hefang was also tasting the pastries. Hearing this, she glanced at the child sitting on the steps beside them and said with a hint of helplessness:
"This child, though his talent is unparalleled, he spends a lot of time on other things."
Li Tianzong smiled. "What’s the harm in that? Xiao Shi’s Martial Dao hasn’t been neglected. I hear he cultivates daily in the Training Grounds and can grasp what the instructor teaches with just one look. True geniuses don’t follow the usual path. We shouldn’t interfere too much."
Chen Hefang sighed. "I’m just worried about you. The burden on your shoulders is heavy, and the demons outside the city are watching us closely. If these children can grow up sooner, they can share some of your burden."
"Dealing with those demons is my responsibility. We shouldn’t place that burden on the children."
Li Tianzong waved his hand, his expression turning serious. "Those demons have invaded repeatedly. Once I break through in my cultivation, I will do my best to resolve this battle in my generation. The future of these children and the demons they will face should not be a burden to them."
Chen Hefang glanced at him with a look of concern. "Don't overwork yourself."
Li Tianzong patted her hand and smiled. "The children are still here; let's eat some pastries."
However, Chen Hefang had lost her appetite.
At that moment, a loud thud echoed from the stage, signaling the end of the battle.
Nine-year-old Li Junye emerged victorious.
But his victory wasn't easy. His body was marked with several gray footprints, and he looked rather disheveled, his blood circulation disrupted. This fight had pushed him to his limits.
His opponent, on the other hand, spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung out of the arena.
"Excellent!"
Li Tianzong cheered loudly upon seeing this.
The other disciples of the Li Family were also taken aback. The Main Lineage of the Li Family was indeed a formidable group, each one easily outclassing their peers from the Secondary Lineage.
"Brother Nine, well done!"
The other eight siblings cheered for Li Junye.
"Brother Nine is so amazing."
Beside Li Hao, four-year-old Li Hongzhuang, who was sitting next to him, waved his chubby little fists and cheered in a clear, childish voice.
Li Junye didn't leave the stage. Instead, he scanned the crowd and saw Li Hao, smiling. "Brother Ten, it's your turn."
Upon hearing this, Li Hao didn't intend to hide his strength. He planned to reveal a bit of his cultivation, so he wouldn't have to reveal too much in the future, which would seem too bizarre.
He popped the peanuts in his hand into his mouth, then clapped his hands and stood up. "I'm coming."
With that, he took a step and lightly leaped onto the arena.
Seeing Li Hao's agile movement, many people were taken aback. His skills were clearly impressive.
Li Tianzong was momentarily stunned but then burst into laughter. "See? Brother Ten's cultivation is at least at the Force Mastery Realm Perfection!"
Chen Hefang also let out a sigh of relief. "It seems that even though he plays around a lot, he hasn't neglected his cultivation. Moreover, after only one year of cultivation, his progress is even slightly better than Junye's!"
"Brother Ten has the Transcendent Saint Posture. Even if he cultivates casually, he can easily surpass others", Li Tianzong chuckled.
By then, Li Hao had already landed on the stage. Li Junye looked at Li Hao with bright eyes. "Brother Ten, it looks like your cultivation is quite good!"
"It's passable", Li Hao smiled.
"I'll hold back a bit", Li Junye said, then took a deep breath to steady his breath.
Li Hao replied, "Brother Nine, go all out. I can handle it."
Since he planned to reveal a bit of his strength, Li Hao didn't hold back and spoke straightforwardly.
Hearing Li Hao's words, Li Junye was taken aback but then laughed heartily. "Let's see how it goes!"
With that, he kicked his spear and thrust it forward like a dragon, aiming directly at Li Hao.
Li Hao stood his ground, not dodging.
As the spear was about to hit him, Li Junye's face changed, and he tried to redirect the spear, worried about injuring Li Hao. However, Li Hao simply reached out and grabbed the spearhead, then shook his arm, sending a powerful shockwave through the spear, causing Li Junye's hand to bear immense force.
He refused to let go, and his palm split before he finally released the spear.
Li Hao casually flicked the spear, and the butt end struck Li Junye's waist, sending him sprawling several steps back.
Li Junye staggered, his blood surging, and when he finally managed to steady himself, he looked at Li Hao in shock.
Li Hao gazed at this shining genius of the arena. Apart from his words, Li Junye was indeed one of the most outstanding prodigies in the Li Family's history.
"Brother Ten, your power..." Li Junye was still in disbelief.
"Brother Nine, you've done well!"
Li Hao flicked his finger, sending the spear back to Li Junye.
Li Junye caught it, his eyes wide with astonishment. Since he began cultivating, he had always been the best among his peers. Today, however, he was defeated for the first time, and by someone two years younger than him!
"Such formidable power!"
Li Tianzong watched the exchange closely from below. Li Hao's victory was impressive, appearing effortless but demonstrating immense strength and finesse.
"Could this child have reached the Complete Circulation Realm?" Chen Hefang's eyes widened.
After only one year of cultivation, could his legendary posture be this terrifying?
