.Invincible War God

.

Chen Hao didn't notice Jiang Fang's condition; he was already immersed in practicing his sword technique.

He felt a bit relieved, because he had used a sword‑technique skill card while sparring with Jiang Fang.

During the duel he realized that the artistic conception within Jiang Fang's sword style was subtly guiding his own will, causing a slight shift.

Now all of Chen Hao's mind was poured into savoring that conception, leaving him unable to perceive anything else.

As time passed, Jiang Fang began to unleash her own conception‑level sword technique at full force.

At first he could still suppress her, but then a faint aura started to emanate from her, growing stronger and feeling strangely familiar to him.

Fortunately these god‑of‑war training chambers had been specially reinforced; otherwise their sparring would have shattered the place long ago.

Chen Hao's own aura grew stronger, and after crossing a certain threshold it surged dramatically, manifesting the same artistic conception that Jiang Fang possessed in her sword technique.

It was no weaker than hers at all, and at that moment Chen Hao opened his eyes, finally focusing his gaze, his pupils emitting an astonishing cold glare.

Seeing the aura Chen Hao radiated, Jiang Fang's battle spirit surged; this time she didn't wait for his attack, but swung her twin blades back in a counter‑strike.

Compared with before, Chen Hao could now deftly block her assault. The medicinal power of a 900‑year‑old polygonum has been fully digested, and his physical condition has already crossed the threshold of a low‑level war god. His spiritual telekinesis, meanwhile, is at the high‑level war‑god tier!

Later Chen Hao noticed that the force behind Jiang Fang's blades seemed almost equal to his own, which struck him as odd.

He recognized the essence of her sword style: although its burst and speed were lacking, its resilience was incredibly tenacious.

Seeing Jiang Fang's intent to continue the duel, Chen Hao gladly obliged. Even though the drug effect in his body had been fully expended, his stamina remained abundant.

After an hour of high‑intensity combat, Jiang Fang, already drained, began to lose her breath rhythm.

During a clash of blades, her twin swords were knocked out of her hands, and the force of the swords sent her stumbling to the ground.

Chen Hao seized the moment, darted to her side, and wrapped his arm around her waist; Jiang Fang's eyes were a little dazed.

Although she knew Chen Hao would eventually surpass her, she couldn't believe she had been so easily defeated by a student.

Seeing the shock, disappointment, and other complex emotions flash across Jiang Fang's face, Chen Hao raised an eyebrow. He helped her sit down in a cross‑legged position, and with a flash of his hand produced a 1,200‑year‑old millennium polygonum.

Jiang Fang's expression changed. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Hao shoved the millennium polygonum into her mouth and said, "Eat it!"

Still a bit dazed, she involuntarily took a bite, and her entire cellular system instantly sent out a hunger signal.

At that moment Jiang Fang snapped out of it, brushed off Chen Hao's hand that was still trying to force the plant into her mouth, and stared at the huge piece she had just swallowed.

She rolled her eyes at Chen Hao, noting it looked just like what he had eaten before. Her gaze hardened, and Chen Hao's voice whispered in her ear, "Swallow it all, don't waste the medicine, stay silent, and quickly cultivate the genetic primal energy."

Jiang Fang's complexion shifted; the signals from her body prompted her to assume the Five‑Hearts Toward Heaven posture and begin cultivating the genetic primal energy.

Watching Jiang Fang immersed in the cultivation, Chen Hao quietly left the underground training chamber, closed the training room's door, exited the villa, and gently shut the main gate. He looked up at the sky, exhaled lightly, and thought, "I guess that settles the favor owed; the feeling is pretty good!"

He was extremely satisfied with this round of gains: not only had he collected a large number of skill cards, but he had also elevated his sword technique to the conception level.

The only regret was that the conception he attained was clearly of a water‑movement nature, which didn't quite mesh with his own Nine‑Layer Thunder Blade.

He considered this a sort of "cheat" boost; he vaguely sensed his will undergoing a transformation, though he wasn't sure just how far the metamorphosis had gone.

Chen Hao returned to his own underground training room at Jiangnan Pavilion and promptly performed a self‑assessment, checking his current status:

Chen Hao
Race: Earth Human
Age: 19
Talent: Spiritual Telekinesis
Realm: Spiritual Telekinesis Apprentice – Level 9 (Refined), Warrior Apprentice – Level 7
Skills: Fundamental Body Movement – Perfected
Fundamental Sword Technique – Conception Level
Nine‑Layer Thunder Blade – Fourth Layer (Damaged)
Nine‑Layer Thunder Blade – Second Layer (Perfect)
Simple yet stunning

From the moment he began training, it had only been a little over half a month, yet his results rivaled what others achieve after half a lifetime.

"Since I've already reached war‑god rank and my sword technique is at the conception level, I should be able to use the Spirit of Flora and Wood without hesitation. The progress is a bit fast; I'm not sure if my body can handle it, so to be safe I'll take a 3,000‑year‑old millennium ginseng."

He produced a nearly humanoid ginseng; the moment it appeared, the entire training room filled with a fresh medicinal fragrance.

He shoved the ginseng straight into his mouth, took a bite, and instantly tasted a refreshing aroma. The piece he chewed softened like jelly and slid down his throat.

His eyes lit up—truly the Spirit of Flora and Wood, the taste far surpassed that of the 900‑year‑old one. He then stuffed the whole ginseng into his mouth and swallowed it.

His cells instantly sent out an extreme hunger signal. After absorbing the Spirit of Flora and Wood, a feeling of exhilaration surged through him.

He quickly assumed the Five‑Hearts Toward Heaven posture and began cultivating the genetic primal energy.

At that moment Chen Hao truly felt what the original text described: using the Spirit of Flora and Wood to enhance bodily qualities was an incredibly pleasant experience, making him want to stay immersed in that comfort forever.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the intense pleasantness faded, and Chen Hao opened his eyes. He sensed a fragrant aroma coming from in front of his body.

Startled, he looked closely and saw Jiang Fang sitting before him, a complicated, dazed expression on her face. When she saw his eyes open, her gaze fluttered anxiously to the side.

Chen Hao reminded himself silently: "From now on, whenever I train, I need to find a safe place first."

When you're engrossed in cultivation, any sudden danger would catch you off guard.

He thought of the little AI, Xiao‑Mei, in his mind and asked, "Xiao‑Mei, why didn't you warn me when an outsider entered?"

"Master, isn't she the matriarch? She came in with no ill intent, even helped close the basement door to prevent disturbances, and has been watching you the whole time. She doesn't seem to want to harm you; rather, she's displaying behavior akin to a terrestrial woman in heat."

Chen Hao felt a bit speechless; Xiao‑Mei had only just been created, and even after a few days of learning about human behavior, it was still a challenge for her to grasp these nuances.
