Chapter 180: Chapter 10: Li Tian Gang’s Interrogation (Guaranteed minimum of 7K words combined chapter)
Li Hao immediately converged the Qi force within his body and gently moved his hands and feet. With the understanding of the Sixth Stage of the Physical Body Path and the penetrating insight of the Grandmaster Realm, he easily gauged the current strength of his flesh.
About 400,000 jin.
Initially, it was 100,000 jin. With the improvement of the Physical Body Path and the completion of the Primordial Cultivation Skill to the fourth chapter “Primordial,” coupled with the derivation and enhancement of many other techniques, it increased to over 300,000 jin.
Now, this perfected Demon technique had directly added 100,000 jin of strength.
It might not seem like a large increase in strength when compared to the tens of millions of jin of True Qi, and it’s not worth mentioning, but excluding Demons, including the strong ones of the Human Race at the Four Stands Realm, very few would have pure physical strength of 100,000 jin!
The stronger the physical strength, the stronger the impact of the Qi force it could withstand.
It’s the same blood reversal, others might lose half their lives, but Li Hao would at most spit out some clotted blood and then recover.
As he perfected the Five Zang Hunyuan Skill, in addition to the increase in physical strength, Li Hao felt that his internal organs, like metal, provided him with strong support whether he was walking, sitting, or standing.
Li Hao did not rest and continued to cultivate another technique, “Bright Jade True Demon Skill.”
This technique focused on cultivating the exterior, and as he practiced, the energy of heaven and earth once again converged, quickly pouring into his body.
This energy, like dark evil, blocked out the clear night sky and the stars and the moon.
The technique primarily refined energy using Demonic Qi, and fittingly, this place was a battlefield, where the Demonic Qi was most dense.
Countless dark Demonic Qi surrounded Li Hao, shrouding him in darkness, he resembled a true Demon; with every opening and closing of his eyes, it seemed a crimson light burst forth.
“Did he just master that technique… just like that?”
In the shadows, Li He watched in astonishment as Li Hao switched to another technique, the aura of his cultivation even more formidable than the last.
The previous technique, with Li Hao’s repeated execution, went from unfamiliar to skilled, and then to rounded perfection, all in the span of seven or eight tries.
Is this… the young master’s secret?
A few repetitions to perfection?
It wasn’t just Li He, Li Hongzhuang was also shocked from a distance. She had seen prodigies, but never one quite like this.
Even when Li He practiced as a child, it would take a few days to perfect a skill.
Back then, with a technique that would take others the whole night just to grasp, he would be entering the doorway by the next day, eliciting admiration and envy from his siblings.
But the Li Hao in front of her, this wasn’t mere entry level accomplishment in a night. This was outright perfection!
And it was not even a full night’s work!
As the Demonic Qi converged and continuously poured into his body to be refined, hammering on his body everywhere, Li Hao’s physique improved rapidly, his complexion became as fair as jade, like porcelain glazed with a fluid-like strength within.
While absorbing the Demonic Qi, Li Hao started to practice again.
The first time, the second time…
As he continued to perform, the Demonic Qi drew in like a storm.
In the blink of an eye, the eighth repetition was completed.
The Bright Jade True Demon Skill was already mastered, reaching the realm of perfection.
The surrounding Demonic Qi all calmed down, revealing the stars and the moon, shining upon the young man’s frame.
Li Hao exhaled gently and looked down at himself; his fingernails were pale, yet with a little force, a faint black Demonic Qi seemed to emerge between them.
This was originally a Demon technique, more suitable for the physique of Demon babies.
But he had altered it through the Physical Body Path into a Body Refining Technique that the Human Race could also practice.
Still, the core essence of Demonic Qi within the technique couldn’t be erased.
Li Hao closed his eyes slightly, then reopened them, a faint black air flashing through his pupils, as if his vision had become different, sharper and brighter.
He saw a faint and vague silhouette to his left, it was Li He hiding in the shadows.
He paid no attention; at this point, there was no need to deliberately hide or disguise anything. After all, this place was no longer the Li Mansion.
After finishing his cultivation, Li Hao gauged his bodily strength.
The pure Strength of the Flesh had increased to around 550,000 jin.
This Demon technique’s enhancement was more pronounced than that of the Five Zang Hunyuan Skill.
Yet, it still hadn’t reached the physical limit of the Power Passage Realm.
Could it be a million jin of strength was necessary… Li Hao’s gaze flickered. At the common stage of the Power Passage Realm, addition of Divine Blood amounted to tens of thousands of jin, which was now a hundredfold!
One wonders how exaggerated the limits of other realms could be.
No wonder even within Listening Rain Tower, there were no records of the limits of each realm. If it weren’t for his panel, such limits would be unimaginable for ordinary people.
Looking at the stars and the moon, Li Hao pondered for a moment, then settled back without further action and entered light sleep to rest.
Li Hongzhuang glanced at the young man, suppressing the urge to go and ask. Li Hao had slain Chi Hu Jun last night; there was likely to be a fierce battle today, and she needed to quickly adjust her state.
Without the obstruction of city walls, as the dawn light shone in from beyond the pass, it was like a warm hand softly caressing the faces of the two.
Li Hao awoke from his light sleep. With the chess characteristic of concealing one’s abilities and biding time, a one or two-hour light sleep was enough to dispel his fatigue.
But besides relieving tiredness, sleeping also felt quite nice.
Too bad the conditions outside the pass didn’t allow him to sleep in.
Li Hao rummaged through the camp and found more paper; he immediately began to write again.
Li Hongzhuang also woke up. The chilly morning at the beginning of winter brought with it a light frost mist, making her speech visible as a faint white breath:
“Are you writing another technique?”
“Yes.”
“There might be a tough battle today.”
“Let’s talk about it when it comes.”
Li Hao appeared casual, seemingly unconcerned.
Li Hongzhuang glanced at the technique Li Hao was writing and said, “Even if you finish writing, there’s no one who can deliver it back for you.”
“Maybe this senior gentleman can help.”
Li Hao looked toward Li He hidden in the shadows.
Li He hadn’t expected Li Hao to be aware of his location. His expression changed slightly. Since things had come to this, there was no need to continue lurking in the darkness. He walked out openly and approached them, saying:
