Secret art

Back in Qing Prefecture.

Li Hao and the others returned to the Tan Palace Academy with the mission letter issued by the Demon Division of Cangyu Town.

The letter bore the Official Seal of the Demon Suppression Division, and all five individuals received full marks.

Su Yehua wasn't surprised to receive the letter.

After all, two Young Master of the Li Family were traveling with them. If the Demon Suppression Division in Cangyu City had any sense, they wouldn't make things difficult for them.

She didn't bother to examine the truth or falsehood of what was presented, after all, background was also a part of one's strength.

Even she had to be polite to these Young Master of the Li Family out of respect for the Divine General Residence's Mansion.

The martial world is never outside the city, but inside it.

After the reporting session ended, Ren Qianqian found Li Hao and expressed her wishes; her mind was made up.

Li Hao did not agree immediately, but instead told her to discuss it with her parents. After all, becoming a personal Sword Attendant in the manor was a matter of great importance, and it would not be easy to get away from it. Once she learned the Li Family Secret Arts, she would be a member of the Li Family for life, and even if she destroyed her cultivation, she would not be able to break free.

After Li Hao finished speaking, Ren Qianqian revealed that she had lost her mother at a young age, and as for her father, she did not want to discuss it with him; she could make the decision herself.

Seeing this, Li Hao was even more opposed, suggesting that she should talk to her father first.

The young girl is naive and inexperienced; he can't just abduct her so easily. Otherwise, if her Grandmaster father causes trouble at the mansion, although the Li Family isn't afraid, it will still be a loss of face.

After rejecting Ren Qianqian, Li Hao took Li Yuanzhao back to the long-missed Mountains and Rivers Courtyard.

After placing the box containing the Tiger Robe Immortal's head in his room, Li Hao carried the other delicacies and snacks he had collected from Cangyu City. He had Qingzhi deliver a portion to Fifth Master, who was guarding the Ancestral Shrine, while he took the rest to the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Unable to find Second Master at the Listening Rain Pavilion, Li Hao glanced at the daylight and immediately knew that Second Master was most likely Angling by Blackwater Lake at this hour.

He immediately Sky Traversal, flying out of the Listening Rain Pavilion and heading towards the Blackwater Lake.

Before long, the vast Blackwater Lake came into view.

Li Hao found the spot where Second Master often Angling and, sure enough, saw him Master Feng.

Noticing someone approaching, the two turned to look.

Li Hao descended from the sky, landing beside the two men, and said with a grin, "Second Master, Master Feng, how was the catch today? Who caught the most?"

"So it's Hao'er."

Feng Boping smiled and said, "Of course I caught more!"

The two were not surprised to see Li Hao arrive by Sky Traversal, as they already knew Li Hao approximate cultivation level.

After all, when he was twelve years old, this kid accidentally Angling a small dragon in the Spirit Wandering Realm right in front of his Elder Er.

They were shocked and extremely jealous at the time.

What's shocking is Li Hao's Heavenly Talent; it's terrifyingly high, even surpassing Li Jiulang, who's said to be a once-in-a-millennium talent.

But what I envy is this guy's luck; he actually caught a dragon!

They were both angry and furious at the stupid dragon that had been caught, and after Li Hao stewed it, they ate several pieces of it.

While eating, he muttered to himself, "Why isn't it my hook that's being bitten? Isn't my hook delicious enough?!"

Despite the banter and the jokes, seeing Li Hao's talent, even the indifferent Li Muxiu had the idea to teach Li Hao martial arts on the spot, hoping to help him settle down and stop wasting his time on frivolous pursuits.

With such Heavenly Talent and his personal guidance, his Future achievements may even surpass his. If the Li Family could produce a True Person, it would truly cause an earthquake All Under Heaven.

However, Li Hao sought help from Old Feng in time. This Thief Saint, who was more open-minded and had a somewhat detached attitude, persuaded Li Muxiu.

Furthermore, the example of Li Jiulang dissuaded Li Muxiu from his idea, allowing Li Hao to choose the life he preferred.

Li Muxiu had long realized that even if he forced Li Hao to cultivate, the kid probably wouldn't put in the effort, which was quite frustrating.

He was also puzzled. He hadn't seen Li Hao cultivate at all, yet his cultivation level had improved so rapidly.

Because of Li Hao's insistence, Li Muxiu did not deliberately publicize the matter of his cultivation level, so no one else in the manor knew about it.

Now.

Hearing Feng Boping's smug laughter, Li Muxiu rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "What's the use of that? They're just small fry. I'm going to catch a dragon."

Neither of them used Fishing Rod; instead, they used lines formed from the Heaven and Earth Energy to pierce the Fish Demon's body, controlling it to swim to waters where Fish Demon fish or Jiaolong might be hunting.

"We'll see if you can catch it," Feng Boping said with a smile.

Li Muxiu snorted and, seeing the bags and packages in Li Hao's hands, asked, "Where did you buy all this? Weren't you bullying kids at the Tan Palace Academy?"

"Just went on Academy Mission, brought back some good food from Cangyu City."

Li Hao smiled and distributed the food to the Elder Er: "Here, this is delicious."

"Wow, this twisted dough stick even has milk crisp inside."

Feng Boping took the bite, clicked his tongue, and said, "Not bad."

"You little rascal, you've got a good idea."

Li Muxiu smiled and accepted the food, then began to pick and choose what to eat.

Just then, the White Fox Xiao Rou ran over happily. Li Hao squatted down, picked her up, and handed her a piece of Roast Meat, saying, "Don't worry, you'll get your share."

"You little fox, just like a cat, you love to eat fish," Li Muxiu said.

Xiao Rou held the Roast Meat in her two little paws and chewed it carefully. When she heard what the Second Master said, she showed her standard fox smile, and her two eyes curved into slits.

Li Hao smiled, rubbed its head, and told it to go eat to the side. He then took out a portion for himself, sat down next to the Elder Er, and ate while chatting.

"Your father should be back soon," Li Muxiu said, eating a piece of crispy biscuit.

"Oh?" Li Hao asked in surprise.

Is the war, which has lasted for more than a decade, finally coming to an end?

"I heard there's been some trouble on the Yanbei Battlefield, and the Saint Palace is planning to retreat," Li Muxiu said.

Li Hao's eyes brightened slightly. So, he was going to meet his parents?

"Little Mouse, it's been over ten years since you last saw your parents. Do you still recognize them?" Feng Boping teased with a laugh from the side.

Li Hao thought about it and realized that the people in his memory were indeed somewhat blurry.

Li Muxiu glared at Feng Boping, annoyed. Why bring up something that shouldn't be brought up? He said to Li Hao:

"It just so happens that your generation has all grown up, and the quota for the 'True Dragon' in the Lineage should be decided this year. With your father coming back to help, it's almost certain that you'll get the 'True Dragon' quota."

"Is there any doubt about the Little Mouse's Heavenly Talent? If it were me, I would give him this spot as the True Dragon right now," Feng Boping said while eating.

Li Muxiu rolled his eyes at him. "I'd like to too, but do you think our Li Family's vast fortune is the same as yours, all Lone Man? We have to make sure the other branches of the family Qi Ingestion, and we can't show favoritism and cause resentment in people's hearts."

He turned to Li Hao and said, "Hao'er, don't you think so?"

"Um."

Li Hao nodded with a smile.

He had heard Second Master mention the True Dragon Seat long ago.

Each generation of the Li Family selects a True Dragon who receives the largest share of the Lineage's resources. At the same time, they also receive help from many ancestors in the Ancestral Shrine to improve the Soul Avatar!

The number of times Soul Avatar form can be condensed in the Soul Succession Realm is closely related to the goal of Soul Inheritance.

The Four Establishments Realm are eighty times.

However, there is another way to increase the number of times one can Soul Condensation, which is the Secret Method created by the Li Family Ancestors.

By joining forces with the Heroic Soul of our ancestors, we can elevate the Soul Avatar to a higher level, reaching a level comparable to that of True Person inherited by the Imperial Family.

That is, 180 Soul Condensation!

Reaching the Spirit Wandering Realm will also help condense Divine Soul and increase the range of the Spirit Wandering Realm.

Furthermore, upon reaching the Fifteen Li Realm, one will also receive assistance, being infused with the power of ancestral Heroic Soul, enabling those at the Fifteen Li Realm to surpass even the top Heavenly Prodigy and reach the level of a super-first-class individual.

True Dragon is one that Peerless in the Same Realm and is considered invincible.

At the same time, as the Li Family True Dragon, his power, which was enhanced by consuming the Heroic Soul of his ancestors, also means that he must shoulder the foundation of the entire Li Family. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the Family Head in the Future.

If there are countless Heavenly Prodigy in the world, and those who reach the Ninth Grade Battle Body are considered first-rate, then the ninth- Heavenly Prodigy of the Li Family, combined with numerous Peak Techniques, can be considered top-tier.

The True Dragon, however, is of the highest rank!

Although Li Hao is currently at the Fifteen Li Realm, if he becomes True Dragon, he will still be able to enjoy the Reforging and assistance of the ancestral Heroic Soul in the previous realms.

Aside from the Soul Succession Realm, Li Hao felt he hadn't reached his limit in any of the other realms.

Even Soul Succession Realm, he didn't know if he could continue to improve, and he was quite looking forward to it.

Of course, most importantly, if he doesn't take this True Dragon Seat, it will most likely fall to someone else.

If it weren't for the poisoning incident back then, Li Hao wouldn't care about the position of True Dragon. After all, becoming True Dragon also means bearing a huge responsibility, carrying the burden of the entire Li Family, a thousand-year-old Aristocratic Clan, to continue moving forward, breaking through all obstacles, and passing on and carrying forward its legacy.

Just thinking about it makes me realize how tiring it must be.

However, someone had plotted to ruin his son's future Top Ten, and Li Hao naturally wouldn't let them have their way. This was the day he had been waiting for.

"The True Dragon Trial examines various aspects, not just Heavenly Talent, but also character, connections, merits, and so on."

Li Muxiu said to Li Hao, "Sending you to the Tan Palace Academy is also to let you go out and make some friends, instead of hanging out with us old guys all day."

Feng Boping scoffed, "Don't give me that. The most important thing is definitely talent. The other factors are just icing on the cake."

"Go away, don't you dare corrupt Hao'er," Li Muxiu glared at him.

"Haha..." Feng Boping laughed loudly.

Li Hao smiled and listened quietly to the Elder Er' banter.

Before long, the Second Master's line moved; the bait had been taken.

As the sun set and the Falling Stars over the riverbank, Li Hao used a Fish Demon that Old Feng had caught to make a barbecue, thus solving the dinner problem for the three people and the fox.
