Following that were the Divine Secret Technique and martial arts, Li Che selectively looked through them.
Eventually, his gaze settled on a blue booklet.
True Intent Ultimate Study!
“Pale Thunder Body”!
This was the True Intent Ultimate Study of the Shangguan Family!
Li Che could no longer suppress his smile at the corner of his lips and threw his head back in loud laughter.
True Intent Ultimate Study!
For Li Che, it was very important.
Li Qingshan had passed on to him the Divine Sect’s Ultimate Skill “Eight Flood Dragons River Overturning Skill,” which was a middle-grade ultimate study!
Now, having acquired the Shangguan Family’s “Pale Thunder Body,” the second ultimate study in hand, it might influence and enhance his self-created “Dragon Elephant True Force,” leading to a breakthrough by analogy.
“Not… it should be said as devouring. My Dragon Elephant True Force can merge the true intent produced by these ultimate studies into the form of the Dragon Elephant True Force itself.”
“That means, the Dragon Elephant True Force I perform, might contain the true intent of the Pale Thunder Body, as well as that of the Eight Flood Dragons River Overturning!”
“Once you reach the Grandmaster Realm, you have to cultivate True Intent Ultimate Studies… The stronger the true intent, the more likely you are to forge Divine Gang, which qualifies you to step into the realm of a Great Grandmaster…”
Inside the room, Li Che held the “Pale Thunder Body,” his eyes sparkling.
Gradually charting his path ahead.
He now had reached four transformations of the Divine Vein and was close to the Grandmaster Realm.
…
…
Shangguan Zhengheng, the family head of one of the Five Great Clans in Golden Light Prefecture City, was assassinated on the Nine Dragons River!
This news swept through like a storm.
Even after a month’s time, it had not settled down.
This was a noble family head, a figure of high stature who was also an expert at the Illusory Phase Level. Such a powerhouse had been tragically killed.
Although the Shangguan Family tried desperately to cover it up, the news that Shangguan Zhengheng had cultivated into a Cursed Copper Corpse and colluded with the Corpse God Cult still leaked.
Therefore, while many sighed, few felt sympathy.
The Corpse God Cult was linked to treason. Once involved with the Corpse God Cult, one might be branded as a rebel, and who would dare to take sides casually.
Lin Xiu, Li Qingshan, and the mysterious Divine Archer, with such a combination, killed Shangguan Zhengheng, filling many major powers with trepidation.
Many, as if in a trance, seemingly recalled the time when Li Qingshan had independently single-handedly attacked a Fishing Gang, killing many traitors from the Corpse God Cult.
However, after Lin Xiu, Li Qingshan, and the mysterious Divine Archer Horse Face killed Shangguan Zhengheng that day, they had not taken action again.
…
Listening Flowers Lane.
Li Che, dressed in a black martial suit, sat quietly on a stone chair in the courtyard, facing Old Chen as they drank tea. After sipping his tea, he looked somewhat helplessly towards the inside of the house.
“Honey, are you ready yet?”
Li Che called out. He had already been waiting for almost half an hour!
They had agreed to visit Xi Xi at Golden Light Peak today, and the couple had started preparing early.
Zhang Ya was busy from the previous day, buying many ingredients at the market, and she got up early today to cook, preparing more than a dozen dishes, packed in lunch boxes.
She had even specially instructed Li Che to heat the dishes with his qi-energy to keep them warm.
“Old Chen, aren’t you going?”
Li Che looked towards Chen Dabao, who was puffing on a dry pipe.
Old Chen shook his head, “I can’t go up to Golden Light Peak… so I won’t go.”
“Xi Xi can come down from the mountain every six months, right? We’ll see her then. I should find some things to do in the Mansion City.”
Old Chen said with a smile.
He and his older brother had indeed learned to smoke a dry pipe. With Xi Xi not in the Listening Flowers Lane yard, Old Chen had fewer concerns.
When Xi Xi was home, Old Chen rarely smoked.
Smoking and drinking made Old Chen quite happy, but it also made him feel somewhat bored.
Upon hearing this, Li Che said, “Do you need my help?”
Li Che was now a third-class Guest Official at the Qintian Observatory and had taken many tasks and met many people. His mild temperament had earned him good connections.
If willing, finding a job for Old Chen was nothing at all.
“No need, I’m just casually looking, trying to get by. Living in Mansion City is not easy, I can’t always freeload, right?”
Old Chen joked with a laugh.
“You can freeload all you want, if you can bankrupt me, I’d consider you quite capable.”
Li Che couldn’t help but laugh.
Old Chen had provided shelter when their family was in dire straits. Of course, Li Che would not forget Old Chen’s kindness.
Old Chen nodded then took another puff of his dry pipe.
After a couple of puffs, he stood up: “Alright, I’ve made plans to meet a friend in Mansion City, I’ll see what’s out there.”
“Off I go.”
Old Chen grabbed the pipe stem, stepped forward, waved his hand, and hummed a tune as he left the alley.
Inside the house, Zhang Ya finally finished her makeup and dressing.
“Dear, let’s hurry, we shouldn’t keep Xi Xi waiting. I’ve missed her so much.”
Zhang Ya hurriedly said, pulling Li Che along.
Li Che speechlessly thought, It’s you who delayed, and yet it’s also you who urges relentlessly.
“Today is the day that Inner Sect Disciples have their monthly challenge for the True Successor.”
“Qin Feng Huo from the Qin Family seems to have broken through to Bone Tempering Completion. He loudly declared he wants to challenge Xi Xi…”
“Isn’t Xi Xi’s strongest asset her mechanisms?”
“I wonder if Xi Xi’s cultivation this month can withstand it…”
As Zhang Ya grew nervous, she began to talk more.
“And that Qin Feng Huo still made a request, saying no mechanisms allowed. What kind of person does that? He’s just a little rascal! To bully our Xi Xi like this! It goes against martial morality!”
Li Che opened his mouth, feeling a sense of shared enmity!
Right, why shouldn’t she use the Hidden Weapons she has mastered at her own merit?
However, Li Che wasn’t worried at all about this challenge.
After all, with the upgraded Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit keeping real-time tabs on Xi Xi’s condition, how could he not know his daughter’s capabilities?
It’s only been a month, but Xi Xi has improved tremendously!
The current Xi Xi…
Is practically a spitting image of the Third Crown Prince who overturns rivers and seas!
It would be a wonder if she didn’t kill someone!
