Li Hao stared at Ao Jie, quickly debating whether to throw him back into the Dragon Pool.
Ao Jie, startled by Li Hao’s gaze, immediately realized Li Hao’s thoughts and hurriedly begged,
“Saint Heir, spare my life, I promise I won’t make any more moves, I’ll just collapse inside, I won’t budge even if the sky falls!”
Li Hao heard this and after thinking about it, decided to release him again.
As time passed, quite a while later, on the fourth try, Li Hao and the Sword Master simultaneously lifted their rods.
Seeing Feyran’s Fishing Experience, Li Hao instantly knew he hadn’t caught Ao Jie again.
However, when the two Dragon Demons were pulled up, Li Hao still heard Ao Jie’s voice, but this time it was on the Sword Master’s hook.
“Sword Master, spare my life…”
Ao Jie’s face was a picture of misery; just a sneeze, and how did the hook get sucked into his mouth!
Li Hao glanced at Ao Jie, somewhat at a loss for words, this Dragon Demon was quite fortunate to have lived until now.
The Sword Master said nothing, removed Ao Jie, and then threw him back into the Dragon Pool, casting his line once more.
Li Hao did the same, not choosing to slay the Dragon Demon.
Not long after, the Sword Master caught fish after fish, at one point even catching a double-dragon in one go.
In front of Sword Cliff, the mournful cries of Dragon Demons occasionally echoed, while in front of Saint Mountain, the intense battles of the ten platforms continued fiercely.
As the sun set in the west, the Sword Master also packed up his fishing rod, his catches still narrowly beating Li Hao, Fishing seven times to Li Hao’s six.
“It’s getting late today, let’s come back tomorrow.”
The Sword Master said to Li Hao, a rare smile on his face.
Today this young fellow actually made him feel a sense of urgency, a feeling he hadn’t had in a long time.
“Mm.”
Li Hao nodded.
Over the next few days, battles continued on the ten platforms, while Li Hao came to Sword Cliff each day to accompany the Sword Master in Fishing.
He had almost become old friends with the few Dragon Demons in the Dragon Pool. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
On this day, while Li Hao was Fishing, another young man arrived.
Sword Master saw him and lightly chuckled, “You’ve come, have a seat.”
This young man stood tall and straight, yet dressed plainly, with a rusty broken sword at his waist and a sword scar on his forehead, his aura inwardly concealed.
The man caught sight of Li Hao, and a hint of surprise flashed through his calm, indifferent eyes, obviously not expecting someone else to be there apart from himself.
He didn’t say anything, simply walked to the edge of Sword Cliff, took out a fishing rod from the Heaven and Earth Space, and immediately began to bait and cast his line, engaging in Fishing as well.
“This is Wuheng Saint Son, and he is Qingfeng.”
As the Sword Master continued Fishing, he casually introduced the two to each other.
Li Hao and Qiu Wuhen exchanged glances, Qiu Wuhen’s eyes shifted slightly, finding the name Qingfeng somewhat familiar. Quickly, he remembered who it was, nodded slightly to Li Hao as a greeting.
Li Hao also nodded in response, and the three of them continued Fishing quietly on their own.
No one spoke, all immersed in their own enjoyment.
As the catches continued, Li Hao noticed that the Wuheng Saint Son’s fishing line revealed a trace of Sword Intent.
This Sword Intent was flexible and spontaneous, with a feeling both soft and sharp.
The softness differed from Lin Qingyue’s supreme softness, indicating two different swordsmanship schools.
Li Hao thought of a Sword technique within the Nine-layer Sword Tower, the Thousand Thread Sword Rain Skill. It seemed the other party cultivated this technique.
Cultivated to the top tier, it could condense thousands of threads of Sword Intent, interweaving like rain, capable of splitting space.
“Wuheng uses Fishing to comprehend Sword Dao; in the future, you can also try this,” said the Sword Master to Li Hao: “All things in heaven and earth can be used to understand one’s own Martial Arts.”
He knew Li Hao had extremely high Perception, and exceptional talent, so this was also a form of Cultivation guidance.
“Mm.” Li Hao nodded.
Upon hearing their conversation, Qiu Wuhen, who had been frowning and looking down, had his eyes flutter slightly, a trace of surprise arose in his heart. The Sword Master actually said this to an Alchemist?
Could it be that besides Alchemy, the other also intended to make a showing in Martial Arts?
But spreading oneself too thin could lead to achieving nothing in either field, as most geniuses were already struggling to reach the pinnacle in a single Martial Arts domain, let alone being distracted with other pursuits.
He withdrew his thoughts, deciding not to ponder further, and focused on his own fishing line.
…
After the Second-choice battles ended, the Third-choice ones began, which would last nearly half a month.
With pairs dueling without defending platforms, battles thus became much slower-paced.
Li Hao still came to Sword Cliff to Fish every day, and occasionally when the Sword Master was absent, it was just Li Hao and Qiu Wuhen at the spot.
On the tenth day after obtaining the Daoist Sword technique, Li Hao arrived at Yaochi Peak.
Seeing Li Hao ascending the mountain, Jiang Yingyue hurried over, leading Li Hao to the Yao Ancestor.
“Ten days are up, how is your Sword Dao practice? Perform it for me to see.” Yao Ancestor was seated on the Saint Platform, radiating a misty and sacred light, and spoke softly to Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded, casually taking a sword from the nearby stand and began to perform the Daoist Sword technique.
However, he restrained his Sword Intent and Sword Momentum, including the Charm of Sword Dao, not displaying the True State Level Daoist Sword technique, otherwise, it would have caused too much disturbance, extremely shocking to the world.
Even so, his Swordsmanship was fluid and as he wished, skilled and Agile, still attaining the Agility Level.
Surprise emerged in the tranquil eyes of Yao Ancestor; such a difficult and esoteric Sword technique, mastered to this extent in just a mere ten days, indicated an exceptional swordsmanship talent!
Beside him, Jiang Yingyue was astonished to see Li Hao perform the Agile Level Daoist Sword technique, her mouth agape. But recalling Li Hao’s Seven-layer Dao Domain, her heart eased.
It seemed Li Hao’s talent was even higher than she had imagined; aside from Cultivation, his innate gift in Sword Dao was seemingly no less remarkable than hers!
To think, within ten days, even she wouldn’t be confident in cultivating the Sword technique to such a dexterous and skilled level, unless there was Semi-Saint guidance.
