Inheriting the True Dragon

"Maybe more!"

Li Tianzong, with his keener eye and sharp gaze, discerned that Li Hao possessed an air of effortless mastery, something that could not be achieved by someone at the Circulation Realm.

"And that's not all?"

Chen Hefang was stunned, staring incredulously at Li Hao on the stage. That child was only seven years old!

At this moment, Li Hao easily defeated the dazzling Li Junye, and the power he displayed silenced the entire Martial Arts Arena.

The eldest brother Li Xingbei, and the others stared at their younger brother in astonishment. They never expected him to possess such terrifying power. They had thought Li Junye was already brave enough, but who knew that the Tenth Child's rise on the path of cultivation was even more exaggerated than that of the Xiao Jiu!

"He's only been cultivating for a year, but he's already equal to us in three or four years!"

"How could Xiao Jiu be overtaken? That's outrageous!"

Everyone was shocked, but they all knew that Li Hao had shown extraordinary talent when Foundation Establishment and Blood Fusion, and the results of his Bone Measurement were legendary. Although they were shocked at the moment, they quickly calmed down.

"Interesting, let me try it too."

Li Tiangang jumped onto the Arena Stage, casually took out a Battle Blade, and said to Li Hao, "Tenth Child, let's have a match too."

Li Hao frowned slightly, but did not refuse; he simply nodded slightly.

"Please."

Li Tiangang is three years older than Li Junye, and at this moment he looks about twelve years old, almost a teenager. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Soul Succession Realm, and his Heavenly Talent is also outstanding.

"I'll hold back," Li Tiangang scoffed.

He always felt a little uncomfortable with Li Hao, unlike with his other brothers.

He always felt that the Tenth Child treated him differently from the other brothers, and was rather cold towards him, but he couldn't remember when he had offended the Tenth Child.

Li Hao didn't speak, he just stood there quietly.

Without further ado, Li Tiangang suddenly pounced forward, unleashing his Soul Avatar power within his body. His blade flashed like lightning, sweeping outwards.

Li Hao's posture was the same as when he fought Li Junye earlier: standing still, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Just as the blade was about to strike, he raised his hand, pinched the blade between two fingers, and immobilized it.

Li Tiangang was stunned and looked at Li Hao in shock.

Li Hao twisted his finger and flicked it onto the blade. With a thud, the blade fell from his hand and flew away.

Li Tiangang's wrist trembled, and he was jolted back several steps by the immense force, staring at Li Hao in astonishment.

"That kid."

Li Tianzong's eyes shone even brighter. He was surprised that Li Hao could defeat the Seventh Brother. What pleased him even more was that Li Hao won so easily, which meant that he was far more powerful than he had imagined!

"How is that possible...?"

Li Tiangang snapped out of his daze, staring blankly at his fallen Battle Blade. He had cultivated for six years, yet he was no match for Li Hao, who had only cultivated for a year?

They thought Li Junye's Heavenly Talent was already catching up with his older Older Brother like a tiger, but it turns out that the Tenth Child brother was even more aggressive, catching up and even surpassing them in just one year!

"Tenth Child's power is incredible, he might even be close to the Spirit Wandering Realm!"

"Seventh Brother underestimated his opponent and didn't dare to go all out, but Tenth Child's performance was amazing."

"To achieve this level of skill in just one year? Who would believe it if word got out?"

The other members of the Li Family were shocked.

Li Xingbei and Li Fengping stood together, exchanging whispers, their expressions grave. They could sense the urgency of being pursued emanating from Li Hao.

Maybe in a few years, this kid will be able to surpass them.

"Amazing!"

The other Concubine-born Disciples were also shocked, looking at the seven-year-old child on the stage. At that age, he was close to the bottom in the Martial Arts Arena, but at this moment he was the most dazzling, giving the feeling that he was invincible standing on the stage.

"I'll do it!"

Suddenly, a figure jumped onto the stage; it was a boy born out of wedlock.

His eyes were sharp as he stared at Li Hao, suspecting that Li Tianzong's sons were putting on an act to deliberately exaggerate the young master's status.

Otherwise, how could such an exaggerated effect occur after only one year of cultivation?

"Please."

Li Hao accepted all comers; he only intended to demonstrate the power of the Soul Succession Realm. After all, reaching the Soul Succession Realm in a year should already be the limit of what they could endure.

With his Sixth Dan Path of the Physical Body, even with the power of the Soul Succession Realm, Li Hao's Mastery over his body and application of power far surpassed those of these people, and he could even handle those at the Spirit Wandering Realm.

The boy was fourteen years old and at the Soul Succession Realm. He showed no mercy and directly drew his sword to slash at Li Hao.

Bang!

Li Hao casually grabbed the sword blade, then flicked it back, sending it flying.

The young man was shocked, but he did not step down. Instead, he suddenly activated his Soul Avatar, and a phantom image appeared behind him, its gaze like that of a ghost staring at Li Hao with a powerful sense of oppression.

This is the deterrent power Soul Succession Realm.

But Li Hao remained calm and indifferent, as if he hadn't seen anything.

The youth's soul merged with his own, his power surged, and he roared as he swung his sword again.

Li Hao, however, took a light step back, dodging the powerful sword strike. Then, he raised his hand and slapped the opponent's chest, turning the force of the blow into a gentle push. With a thud, he pushed the opponent, sword and all, dozens of meters away off the Arena Stage.

The boy landed with a thud, scrambled to his feet, and looked at Li Hao with shock and a touch of shame.

Despite unleashing his full power, he was still defeated by Li Hao, who had only been cultivating for a year.

Moreover, he could feel that when he fell off the Arena Stage, Li Hao's seemingly powerful palm strike landed lightly on him, without actually hurting him.

The young man, with mixed feelings, gave Li Hao a slight bow and said nothing more.

They lost convincingly.

Seeing this, Li Tianzong couldn't help but laugh, his eyes filled with admiration. He saw the compassion of a strong person in that palm strike.

The world is full of injustices. The strong go against the current and climb to the top, but most of them forget their original intentions and become numb and indifferent.

As the saying goes, you can see a person's future from the age of three. Li Hao had no one to teach him, yet he possessed the benevolence of a strong person—it was in his nature!

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and he felt extremely pleased.

"Amazing, amazing!"

Seeing this, Li Xingbei and the others were also happy for Li Hao and smiled.

The other Concubine-born Disciples changed slightly when they saw them chatting and laughing; they were shocked, angry, and resentful, but mostly jealous.

One after another, people went up on stage, trying to dampen the arrogance of this direct descendant Heavenly Prodigy, but they were all easily defeated by Li Hao.

"So powerful! He defeated all his clansmen at the age of seven, Soul Succession Realm!"

"Is this what a true descendant looks like? A legendary figure!"

Everyone in the Martial Arts Arena was shocked and deeply remembered the child's figure.

Seeing that his performance was about right, Li Hao turned around and jumped off the Arena Stage.

"Older Brother is amazing."

Li Hongzhuang picked a small red flower from somewhere and handed it to Li Hao: "For your Older Brother."

Li Hao smiled and tucked the little red flower into her hair behind his back.

"Take it and play with it yourself."

He then glanced at Li Tianzong and his wife, and seeing that they both gave him smiles that were a mixture of satisfaction and surprise, he felt quite comfortable.

He smiled, then sat down on the steps, thought for a moment, and continued to speed up.

Li Hao's progress in the Mo River was extremely rapid.

He hones his Art Skill when he is clear-headed, skipping most of his daily life and only pausing at the most crucial moments.

Since displaying extraordinary strength at the age of seven, Li Hao's reputation in the Divine General Residence has spread far and wide. When discussing the Green Lotus Courtyard, Li Hao, the youngest young master, is always mentioned.

What has generated the most discussion is that, besides practicing martial arts, this young master also has many strange and unusual hobbies.

Some people saw him frequently going into the Kitchen to learn how to cook from the chef, while others saw him playing the piano and painting in the courtyard. He seemed like a spoiled young master from the Aristocratic Clan, extremely special, with a mysterious aura surrounding him, making people want to explore him.

This time, Li Hao once again Soul Inheritance the Heaven and Earth Soul Inheritance.

His body was as strong as Divine Iron, and he was incredibly powerful. He received the power that Heaven and Earth Soul Inheritance with a bit more ease than before.

Li Tianzong wanted to take Li Hao to the Ancestral Shrine to Soul Inheritance. Upon learning that Li Hao had already Soul Inheritance, and that it was done through the Heaven and Earth Soul Inheritance, he was both shocked and overjoyed.

According to the ancient Martial Dao texts of the Li Family, he knew what the Heaven and Earth Soul Inheritance meant, a quality comparable to that of Ancient Sage!

"Good, good, good! You truly are my son!"

You will surpass your ancestors!

Li Tianzong was extremely fond of Li Hao.

Li Hao handed the two small figures Sculpting from the Third Dan of the Path of Carving to the father.

One man and one woman.

Seeing the lifelike Sculpting, Li Tianzong didn't get angry but smiled and said, "You've put so much effort into this! It's really well done. My son is clever."

"You've put a lot of thought into this, haven't you?"

Chen Hefang was overjoyed to receive the gift, but then looked distressed and said:

"Your parents know you're filial, but you should focus more on Martial Dao and not let these things waste your time."

"Mm." Li Hao nodded.

Li Tianzong waved his hand with a smile and said, "Alright, alright, it's Tenth Child of my appreciation, don't say such unromantic things."

Chen Hefang thought so too, and stroked the Sculpting figurine, a smile spreading across her face.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Li Hao seized the opportunity and said, "Father, can I go see the Demon King imprisoned in the manor? I want to Sculpting a Demon King."

"The Sculpting Demon King?"

Li Tianzong was somewhat surprised and asked in astonishment, "You like Sculpting so much?"

"No, I just wanted to see the Demon King."

Li Hao said this against his will.

Li Tianzong thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but your strength isn't enough right now. I can only let you go see it once you reach the Fifteen Li Realm. Otherwise, you won't be able to withstand even a single glance from the Demon King."

It's a deal!

Li Hao couldn't help but show his delight.

With the Demon King by his side, his skills in Path of Carving and Painting Dao could improve rapidly.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Li Tianzong laughed loudly.

Time flies.

At the age of eight, Li Hao Heart Entry Cooking and broke through the bottleneck of the Third Dan of the Imperial Dao. He used his Art Skill Point to raise it to the sixth stage in one go, and his cultivation level increased dramatically.

He combined various Meridian Opening Method, further increasing the number of Great Meridian opened throughout his body.

He also collected many techniques for Spirit Refining Method and Object Manipulation Method in the Listening Rain Pavilion, and his cultivation broke through one after another, breaking through the Spirit Wandering Realm and stepping into the Fifteen Li Realm.

Eight years old, Fifteen Li Realm.

During the disciple assessment at the Martial Arts Arena, Li Hao once again displayed astonishing strength, easily defeating many Li Family disciples.

Li Junye trained diligently for a year, then Sparring with Li Hao, only to find the gap between them had widened even further.

Li Tiangang was also unconvinced and challenged again, but was defeated in one move once more.

The eldest of the three, Li Jianming, couldn't hold back any longer and joined the fray, unleashing his power of Object Manipulation. However, Li Hao countered with an even more powerful force of Object Manipulation, defeating him.

From then on, his Fifteen Li Realm was revealed, once again making him famous throughout the Divine General Residence and spreading throughout Dragon City.

Such an astonishing speed of cultivation surprised and delighted Li Tianzong and his wife, who couldn't stop smiling.

That year, Li Hao personally cooked and prepared the New Year's Eve dinner at Green Lotus Courtyard.

It just so happened that he made the leap at the time of the New Year's Eve dinner, so he proposed the idea and received Li Tianzong's approval.

"Excellent craftsmanship!"

"Tenth Child's Cooking are truly excellent; I think they're in no way inferior to the famous chefs in those high-end Restaurant."

"Tsk tsk, my son is truly accomplished in both literature and martial arts, proficient in everything."

"What virtue or ability do I, Li Tianzong, possess to have such a son...?"

At the dinner table, Li Tianzong was unusually slightly tipsy, and his speech became somewhat slurred.

Chen Hefang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Tenth Child is excellent, but the other children are not bad either. You can't just praise Tenth Child."

"Of course, they're all my good sons," Li Tianzong laughed heartily.

Chen Hefang looked at the other boys, smiled gently, and said softly, "You don't need to compare yourselves with Tenth Child. You all have your own brilliance, and your mother can see it."

The other boys' eyes flickered, all somewhat moved. The eldest Li Xingbei, laughed and said, "We're not jealous of the Tenth Child at all. The more outstanding the Tenth Child is, the happier we are."

"That's right, if Tenth Child cultivates so fast, he'll surpass us in the future, and I'll be able to slack off a bit," Li Fengping said with a smile.

"My tenth brother is my goal, which gives me even more motivation to cultivate," Li Junye said with a smile. He is 11 years old now and already looks quite handsome.

After the New Year's Eve dinner ended, Li Hao looked at the quiet aftermath, with only empty plates remaining. He smiled, paused briefly, and then sped off to the next segment of time.

Not long after Li Hao displayed his astonishing Heavenly Talent, another Demon King infiltrated and attacked the Divine General Residence, but Li Tianzong and Li Xiaoran spotted it and killed it beforehand.

When Li Xiaoran learned of Li Hao's progress in cultivation, he was speechless with astonishment. He could have progressed so quickly after only one round of cultivation?

He suddenly understood why Li Hao had already reached the Three Immortalities Realm when he was fifteen years old.

Moreover, he was able to briefly clash with a demon Demon King at the Unique Skill Realm. His Heavenly Talent was truly unimaginably Prodigy!

After the Demon launched their second attack and infiltrated the Divine General Residence, Li Tianzong kept Li Hao by his side frequently and would occasionally teach Li Hao military strategy.

Meanwhile, Li Hao would also take advantage of his spare time while studying military strategy to compose poems, write lyrics, play the zither, and paint.

He appears casual, but his artistic experience is constantly accumulating, and his skills are rapidly improving.

Li Tianzong did not stop him. Li Hao's cultivation speed was already satisfactory to him. He might have disciplined other children more strictly, but Li Hao was extremely sensible and knew how to act properly. He trusted him completely and was not worried that Li Hao would neglect his Martial Dao because of this.

After all, at the age of the Fifteen Li Realm, he had already broken through the cultivation records of the Great Yu Dynasty, completely and utterly.

With that in mind, what reason is there not to let children do what they like?

With Li Tianzong's leniency, Li Hao's Art Skill Point accumulated at a faster pace.

As his cultivation level improved, he found that the constraints imposed on him by the rules of the Mo River seemed to be lessening, and he found it easier to delve Heart Entry various Art Skill.

His original Dao Realm Comprehension has gradually leaked out in small amounts, affecting his current progress and advancement.

He easily reached Third Dan in many arts, accumulating over twenty Art Skill Point.

With ample Art Skill Point, Li Hao focused on collecting more Cultivation Method, studying and deducing them, hoping to open up Heaven and Earth Meridian here.

The Heaven and Earth Meridian greatly enhance the body, acting like a support system.

However, the Cultivation Method of the Listening Rain Pavilion were limited, so Li Hao had no choice but to explain his needs to Li Tianzong.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Li Tianzong immediately sent someone to invite Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to borrow its Signature Technique.

In addition, he wrote letters to other Divine General Residence to borrow Cultivation Method, and also planned to suppress several martial Sect with bad behavior, confiscate their property, and seize a batch of Cultivation Method to fill the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Although the main map of this Mo River is Dragon City, Li Xiaoran said that outside Dragon City are Demon forces.

However, many of the special rules within Dragon City were influenced by Li Tianzong, and Li Tianzong's obsession was for the entire Great Yu Dynasty.

Therefore, although many forces in the Great Yu Dynasty do not exist in this Mo River, Li Tianzong can temporarily conjure them if needed.

Just like the Daoist priest from Qingqiu Mountain who measured Li Hao's bones; he came from Qingqiu Mountain.

There is no Green Hill Mountain outside of Dragon City.

Perhaps once the other party leaves the Divine General Residence, it will disappear and vanish in some inconspicuous place; this is the Mo River.

With Li Hao's displayed Heavenly Talent, he was practically granted every request in the Divine General Residence, truly a pampered darling of the heavens.

With Li Tianzong's all-out efforts for Li Hao's improvement speed was rapid. With the integration of many Meridian Opening Cultivation Method, he had already opened more than 100 meridians, with only a few more to be opened.

His spiritual cultivation Object Manipulation were also greatly improved.

Upon learning that Li Hao was fond of Famous Painting and Chess Manual, Li Tianzong sent people to search for them and brought back some.

At the age of nine, Li Hao successfully entered the Heaven and Man Realm, filled his mind with the many Cultivation Method he had collected, and questioned the Grandmaster about All Things in Heaven and Earth, once again shaking the Divine General Residence.

This time, his entry into the Grandmaster Realm was even smoother than before, because he had now collected more Cultivation Method and gained a broader perspective.

That year, Li Hao's strength completely surpassed that of the Nine Sons of the Li Family. Even Li Xingbei, who had already entered the Three Immortalities Realm at the age of twenty-seven, was someone Li Hao was confident he could contend with.

However, this Eldest Brother treated him extremely well, and he did not truly defeat him or break his Dao Heart adversity.

Besides Martial Dao, Li Hao also demonstrated extraordinary talent in military strategy, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Li Tianzong was already so satisfied with Li Hao that he proposed to designate the True Dragon ahead of time when Li Hao was ten years old.

In addition to ruling the Divine General Residence in the Future, the True Dragon will also receive assistance from the ancestors in the Ancestral Shrine, further enhancing its potential and greatly aiding its cultivation.

This news caused another sensation.

The Divine General Residence was filled with guests. Li Tianzong also introduced Li Hao to these noble families, giving them the opportunity to befriend Li Hao and pave the way for Li Hao future.

But this is the Mo River, and everything will vanish after you clear it, so it's meaningless. Naturally, Li Hao didn't bother to agree and skipped it directly.

With each acceleration, Li Hao's Mastery over time jumps became more precise.

After the banquet ended and the guests had all left, Li Hao, led by Li Tianzong, arrived at the Li Family Ancestral Hall.

The selection of the True Dragon has concluded, and Li Hao True Dragon undeniably secured the position. The other Nine Sons of the Li Family have no objections, and the direct descendants and Concubine-born Disciples in the other courtyards are all aware of Li Hao's Heavenly Talent and dare not come forward to compete.

Looking at the Ancestral Shrine in front of him, Li Hao knew that Li Tianzong had brought him here for the ancestors to take a look at, and also to ask the ancestors to help him refine his Divine Soul.

However, given the level of his own refinement, the help his ancestors could provide for his improvement was extremely limited.

However, Li Hao did not refuse the True Dragon this time. Firstly, he could not find a reason to refuse, and secondly, because this was the Mo River, and he wanted to seize every opportunity to grow.

After all, the Candlelight God and Lu Yuan have also come here, and the Mo River is at the Nether Capital Tier, extremely dangerous. The stronger you are, the better you can save your life.

Inside the Ancestral Shrine, Li Hao saw a middle-aged man sitting hunched over in a corner of the Square.

He looked somewhat similar to Fifth Master Li Qingzheng, but he had a fierce aura about him, unlike the Aura and composed old man he had seen before.

"Fifth brother."

Li Tianzong greeted him with a smile.

Li Qingzheng glanced at it but ignored it, only pursing his lips and saying, "You certainly raised a fine son."

"Haha, I told you to get married, but you wouldn't." Li Tianzong laughed.

"My life is too lonely and stained with too much blood; I won't bring misfortune upon my descendants," Li Qingzheng sneered.
