Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Li Hao had heard about his talent as well, a Transcendent Stature, a talent of legendary level. No wonder it was so exaggerated.

"It seems you really are the hope of our Li Family."

Li Xiaoran said softly with a sigh.

Li Hao was slightly stunned by his sudden statement but just shook his head without saying much.

Li Xiaoran went to the sealed shelf on the sixth floor and searched the bottom layer. He took out three Demon Cultivation Techniques and handed them to Li Hao:

"These are all Demon techniques, which we can't cultivate. Our body structures are different, and so are our meridians. Apart from using them as references for Martial Arts and understanding the demons, they are of little significance."

Li Hao didn't say much and began to carefully review the books.

Soon, all three techniques were recorded in the panel, and through the transformation of the Physical Body Path, they had been changed into techniques suitable for the Human Race to cultivate.

"Thank you."

Li Hao expressed his thanks and then returned the techniques to Li Xiaoran.

Seeing that Li Hao was really just looking, Li Xiaoran didn't say anything more.

After all, Li Hao had already reached the Three Immortal Realms outside the Mo River, so getting an early look at these techniques might help him when he tries to comprehend the Heavenly Human Realm here in the future.

Li Hao bid farewell to Li Xiaoran and then continued with his own cultivation.

The three Demon techniques allowed his physical body to be refined like a golden body, endowing him with unimaginable immense strength.

Li Hao found the chess manual he had used before in the Listening Rain Tower, covered it with the Myriad Imagination Chess Manual to avoid drawing too much shock.

Although his talent had already been revealed as legendary and his cultivation speed was beyond common imagination, he couldn't exceed it too much.

At only six years old, if he directly exposed a million catties of Divine Power, that would simply be monstrous!

This wasn't shocking; it was horrifying!

Seven years old.

A year since Li Hao embarked on the cultivation path, which he had actually sped up and skipped over, passing only about ten days.

In the martial arts field, a crowd gathered.

Today was the sparring convention of the field, where the progress of each disciple's cultivation was tested.

Bang!

A nine-year-old child erupted with Qi Force, swinging a spear, and with one thrust, sent another robust-looking youth flying.

That youth was at least thirteen or fourteen, but in front of this nine-year-old, he was overwhelmingly defeated.

"Good, well done!"

Li Tianzong also came here to watch, with Chen Hefang at his side, and a plate of fruit and pastries placed between them.

Li Tianzong cheered and clapped loudly, unabashedly showing his favoritism.

On stage, the merely-nine-year-old Li Junye, whose face already bore a burgeoning heroic spirit, heard his father's shout, glanced over, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he called out again:

"Li Tian, come and fight me!"

"A fight it is!"

A youth stepped out from downstage, looking about the same age as the one who had just been defeated, but he was tall and straight, wielding a battle saber.

As soon as the instructor downstage gave the command, the two engaged in fierce combat.

Li Tianzong watched with relish, commenting with a laugh, "Jun Ye is truly extraordinary, reaching Cycle Heaven Realm Perfection at only nine, and moreover, he has developed the Yin and Yang Dual Pulse!"

"His Yang Meridian is innate, and he opened up the Mystic Vein himself. His talent is indeed rare."

Chen Hefang nodded with a smile, "The instructors say he understands whatever is taught immediately, and can grasp the basics in one go!"

Li Tianzong laughed, picked up a pastry to eat, and couldn't help but admire, "Shaun's culinary skills are getting better and better."

Chen Hefang was also tasting the pastry and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but look at a child sitting on the steps, saying with a touch of helplessness:

"This child, although his talent is unsurpassed, he has invested quite a lot of energy into other areas."

Li Tianzong said with a laugh, "What's the harm in that? Shaun's Martial Arts have not fallen behind. I heard he trains in the martial arts field every day, mastering the instructors' teachings at first glance. A true genius does not follow the beaten path, we should not interfere too much."

Chen Hefang sighed, "It's just that I'm worried about you. You carry a heavy burden. With the demons outside Dragon City eyeing us covetously, if these children can grow up early, they might share some of the load."

"Dealing with those demons is my job as a father. How can I place the responsibility on the children?"

Li Tianzong gestured and his expression became a bit solemn, "With the repeated demon incursions, once I break through in my cultivation, I will try to resolve this battle within my generation. The children's future and the demons they have to face should not be an added burden for them."

Chen Hefang looked at him, her eyes full of affection, "Don't push yourself too hard."

Li Tianzong patted the back of her hand and smiled, "The children are still here, let's have some pastries."

Chen Hefang simply had no appetite to eat anymore.

At this moment, a collision sound rang out from the stage, where the battle had already determined a winner.

Li Junye, just nine years old, was victorious.

But his win was not an easy one, as his body had several grey footprints on it, making him look somewhat disheveled, with his blood and qi in disarray, having had to exert his full strength in the battle.

His opponent, however, was spewing fresh blood as he was sent flying out of the arena.

"Good!"

Upon seeing this, Li Tianzong cheered loudly once again.

The other disciples of the Li Family were shocked by this scene, realizing that each direct descendant of the Li Family was more monstrous than the last, each capable of easily defeating their half-siblings of the same age.

"Ninth brother, well done!"

The other eight siblings all cheered and shouted for Li Junye.

"Ninth brother, impressive."

Sitting next to Li Hao at the side of the field, Li Hongzhuang, already four years old, was also waving her delicate little fists, her voice childish and clear as she cheered for Li Junye.

Li Junye did not leave the stage but instead looked around the audience, and upon spotting Li Hao below, smiled and said,

"Tenth brother, it's your turn to go on stage."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao didn't intend to be modest or hide his skills. He planned to reveal a bit more of his cultivation in this battle, as revealing too much later on would be too astonishing.

Popping the last peanut into his mouth, he then dusted off his hands and stood up, saying, "Here I come."

As he spoke, he stepped lightly and his body soared effortlessly onto the platform.

Seeing Li Hao's soaring figure, many were astonished as his skills were clearly exceptional.

Li Tianzong was surprised at first, then burst into laughter, "Look, Xiao Ten's cultivation must be at least at Power Passage Realm Perfection!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Hefang also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that although he usually plays around, he hasn't neglected his cultivation. Moreover, only having practiced for a year, his progress is even slightly stronger than Jun Ye's!"

"Little Ten is a Saint Transformation figure; even casual cultivation allows him to easily surpass others," Li Tianzong said with a light laugh.

At this time, Li Hao had already landed on the stage. Li Junye, looking at Li Hao, with shining eyes, said, "Tenth brother, it seems your cultivation isn't bad!"

"It's decent."

Li Hao replied with a smile.

"I'll hold back a little."

Li Junye said and then began to regulate his breathing, smoothing out his qi.

"Ninth brother, just go all out, I can take it."

Li Hao said. Since he intended to reveal a bit more, his words were quite straightforward.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Li Junye was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Then let's have a try!"

With that, he kicked the tip of his spear and then thrust it powerfully toward Li Hao like a dragon.

Li Hao stood still, unflinching and not dodging.

Just when the spear was about to hit, Li Junye's face changed slightly, flicking the tip of the spear to redirect it, worried about injuring Li Hao. But Li Hao just raised his hand and seized the spearhead, then shivered his arm, sending a shocking force through the shaft, which put a tremendous strain on Li Junye's palm.

Despite this, he did not let go until the force caused his hand to split open and he had to release his grip.

Li Hao flicked his wrist, sending the butt of the spear like a staff to strike Li Junye's midsection.

He moderated his strength slightly, sweeping him off his feet for several steps.

Li Junye stumbled backwards, his blood and qi churning as he struggled to steady himself. Staring at Li Hao in amazement.

Li Hao looked at the genius shining brightly in the arena. Putting aside his role, the other was a monstrous talent unlike any the Li Family had seen in hundreds of years.

"Tenth brother, your strength..." Li Junye was still coming to his senses.

"Ninth brother, you've gone easy!"

Li Hao flicked his finger, returning the spear to him.

Li Junye caught it, his gaze trembling. In his time of cultivation, he was always superior to his peers. But today was the first time he had been defeated by a peer and one two years younger no less!

"Such a powerful force!"

Li Tianzong, watching from below, saw everything distinctly. This move that won beautifully seemed effortless, but it was actually a combination of very strong force and controlled finesse, easily defeating Li Junye.

"This child, could he have also reached Cycle Heaven Realm Perfection?" Chen Hefang's eyes widened slightly.

Having only practiced for a year, could that legendary stature be so terrifying?
