The sword moves were light, gliding through the air like a swimming dragon.
Li Hao made no effort to conceal his talent, displaying the swordsmanship with graceful finesse after the instructor had only just demonstrated it.
The instructor stood dumbfounded, his jaw hanging open in shock.
But before his amazement had worn off, Li Hao was already practicing again. On the second attempt, he achieved perfection.
The instructor felt as if he had been struck by lightning, with eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets in astonishment, as he watched Li Hao reach perfect mastery in mere two attempts?!
Li Hao casually turned the sword around, offering the hilt to the instructor.
The instructor remained stunned for a moment before taking it. Then he turned to look at Li Tianzong, knowing that even without saying it, this child’s swordsmanship talent must have been apparent to all; it was too terrifying.
Indeed, Li Tianzong stood dumbstruck. Only after Li Hao had finished practicing his swordplay did he snap out of it. He excitedly stamped his foot and rushed up to Li Hao, exclaiming,
“Xiao Shi, is this your first time practicing with the sword?”
He held Li Hao’s shoulders, his expression full of excitement.
“Mm.”
Li Hao, seeing the trembling excitement in the man’s eyes, realized how real the moment felt.
“My son, a genius!”
Li Tianzong excitedly lifted Li Hao high in the air, spinning him around several times before setting him down, and then said to the instructor, “Did you see that, did you see that?!”
The instructor, putting aside his shock, hastily replied with reverence, “Congratulations, my lord. Young Master Shi’s talent in swordsmanship is unparalleled; he may very well aspire to be a Sword Saint one day!”
“Sword Saint? That’s a Sword God!”
Li Tianzong proclaimed with excitement, “Even Sword Saints weren’t this clever as children, being able to practice to adeptness after just one glance. My son has achieved perfection right away!”
The instructor thought about it and had to agree, internally singing praises once again.
“With such a talent for swordsmanship, combined with my son’s gifts, haha, in ten years’ time, his name will surely shake the world!”
Li Tianzong laughed out loud, his voice resonating throughout the area.
The direct and illegitimate descendants of the Li family, watching from afar, were too shocked to speak.
To Li Tianzong’s bold laughter, they found no exaggeration, for the performance of that child was truly frightening!
“Old Ten!”
The nine sons from the Green Lotus Courtyard were all surrounding him, shocked and excited.
Li Tianzong smiled and said, “From now on, Xiao Shi will be cultivating here. Take good care of him.”
“Mm.”
The others all nodded, immediately examining Li Hao as if searching for lice, touching him here and there.
Li Hao felt somewhat helpless at these idle moments, which for him were just time he wished to skip. He needed to focus on his cultivation.
Li Tianzong instructed the instructor a few more words and then left to deal with his military duties.
After he left, Li Hao began following the instructor’s training once more.
However, upon realizing that the instructor’s teachings were quite basic, Li Hao chose to skip that period.
It was pointless to spend precious waking hours here in practice when he could be earning artistic experience instead.
Coming to the training ground was only meant as a pretext for the strength he would reveal later.
…
Time passed.
After starting to practice martial arts at the age of six, Li Hao began to truly stand out, embarking on his path of cultivation.
All the cultivation techniques he had initially gathered were now within his reach. The Body Refining Skill was practiced numerous times. His physical strength soared, his cultivation level leaped forward, reaching the tenth level of the Power Passage Realm, and then breaking through, achieving Cycle Heaven Realm Perfection!
With the strength of his flesh alone, he managed to cultivate to the very limit of the Zhou Tian Realm. Even the power of a single arm amounted to more than three hundred thousand jin!
Li Hao knew that this was not his limit.
He invested another 2 skill points, elevating the Physical Body Path from the fourth to the sixth segment.
After reassessing various Body Refining Techniques, there were changes and upgrades in both quality and ranking. Moreover, due to insight gained from the Tao Realm and the inspiration drawn from numerous techniques, he derived several powerful new methods.
Upon practicing these, Li Hao’s physical strength surged once more, breaking the bottleneck of the Soul Succession Realm. His body connected with the power of heaven and earth, refining the true spirit, capable of inner teijin and wielding willpower like a divine blade projected outward.
His eyes sparkled like cold, piercing lightning; the intensity of his consciousness skyrocketed, allowing him to remain vigorous even without sleep for a month.
At this point, his strength had reached more than nine hundred thousand jin, nearing the one million jin limit of the Power Passage Realm and soon to touch the threshold of Divine Power.
Unfortunately, the Body Refining Techniques in the Listening Rain Tower were less numerous than the ones he had obtained earlier, lacking the ferocious Body Refining Skills of the Demon tribes.
Such techniques, suited for Demons, were primitive and brutal, greatly augmenting physical strength.
With 3 skill points left, Li Hao devoted them all to the Control Path.
This time, Li Hao planned to focus on the Physical Body Path and Control Path, with swordsmanship and movement technique as secondary priorities, and if he had any skill points left, he would allocate them to the Fist Technique.
Fist Technique greatly enhanced the strength of the arms, and powerful arms also benefitted both swordsmanship and attack power. However, due to a shortage of skill points, these could only be trained later on.
Li Hao came to the Listening Rain Tower to gather various Meridian Opening Skills and Qi Circulation Skills.
Meanwhile, he took the opportunity to look for Li Xiaoran to see if he had any Demon cultivation techniques.
Although Li Xiaoran didn’t understand what Li Hao was up to, seeing that at the age of six, Li Hao was already demonstrating the aura of the Zhou Tian Realm in front of him, he was somewhat flabbergasted. Stay connected via m-v l|e’-NovelFull.net
It was a re-cultivation, but his previous insights had been sealed. He wasn’t simply retracing his steps; it was more like cultivating anew, just like before.
The only difference was that his thinking was now more mature, and he had a deeper understanding of martial arts, allowing him to make a more rational cultivation plan.
“How did you cultivate so fast?” he couldn’t help but ask.
Li Hao replied with a smile, “Maybe I just have good talent.”
Li Xiaoran was at a loss for words.
