Chapter 10: Myriad Phenomena Attribute

Li Hao was thinking, if he measured his bones again, he didn't know what the result would be.

But there was only one chance, and no one felt that the old Daoist from Qingqiu Mountain would make a mistake.

Since the end of bone measuring, he could clearly feel that the liveliness of the Shanhe Courtyard had decreased. In the past, wives of various courtyards would often bring their children over to play, or take him over to eat some small cakes or special small fresh fruits from the border or vassal states, and then let their children play with Li Hao, trying to get close to the relationship from a young age.

But now two months had passed, and only the First Lady, Fifth Mother, and the young Ninth Mother had come to visit him.

It's just that seeing he was safe, they didn't come again.

However, he occasionally received fruit pears and pastries sent from the Changchun Courtyard.

Now that it was winter, he also received two sets of small cotton pants and cotton jackets sewn with fine wild animal fur, as well as a scarf.

Li Hao hung this scarf on the little girl's neck.

The next day.

The sky was slightly bright, and Lin Haixia had already brought Bian Ruxue to practice sword in the courtyard.

Earlier on the weapon rack, Lin Haixia let this child choose various weapons and perform them one by one to test her weapon talent. Bian Ruxue finally chose the sword.

And after practicing, Lin Haixia found that she indeed had sword Dao talent, so he taught her carefully, occasionally strictly.

At noon, Li Hao woke up leisurely. He was not yet six years old, so he didn't need to keep the mansion rules, so he had to go to the Changchun Courtyard to pay his morning respects to the First Lady every morning, so he could sleep in comfortably.

Seeing the little figure practicing hard in the courtyard, Li Hao shook his head slightly, secretly saying it was pitiful, and then under the service of his personal maid, took the washing water, finished breakfast, and then found the two servants who knew how to play chess as usual, letting them set up the chess in the pavilion.

Not long after, a game of chess ended, but Li Hao found that he didn't receive the prompt of experience point increase, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately, he saw characters floating before his eyes:

{Chess Dao Third Stage, need a chess heart to continue improving. } Chess heart?

Li Hao was confused.

Seeming to notice his thought, the characters gradually disappeared, and then another line floated out: 【To practice chess heart, one must have only chess in one's heart, and be devoted to chess.】 Very good, a very straightforward explanation.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised. He could actually interact with these characters.

Hello?

The characters disappeared.

Li Hao tried to call out several times, but there was no response, so he didn't think much, but pondered in his heart, only devoted to chess?

Wanting him to first condense a chess heart before giving experience?

In the Divine General Mansion, Li Hao had heard of sword heart, gun heart, and sharp tongue but soft heart.

But he had never heard of a chess heart.

That's right, small ways like playing chess are not in the eyes of the Divine General Mansion.

However, a chess heart should be something similar to a sword heart, right? Listening to the idle talk of the wives when they held him, such as a certain youth who practiced sword every day since childhood, holding the sword while eating, holding the sword while sleeping, and after condensing the sword heart, his sword Dao practice improved by leaps and bounds, etc.

So, if he wants to condense a chess heart, he also needs to do this?

But does Li Hao like Chess Dao?

Although he knew a little bit in his previous life, he really only knew a little bit.

Playing chess... who loves playing chess? Playing poker is happier than playing chess.

Work is tiring enough, who has time for this brain-burning thing.

Unless it's for freshness, occasionally changing the entertainment experience.

Even if the panel can improve Chess Dao experience, Li Hao just treats it as a tool for brushing Artistry Points. To let himself truly fall in love and be devoted to it.

Very difficult.

Li Hao was somewhat unconvinced, and let the servant accompany him to play another game.

Then he was convinced.

This made Li Hao somewhat distressed, his little face wrinkled together. He just tasted the sweetness of practice, and you told him he couldn't play chess to get experience. How can this work? Could it be that he should transfer to practice other arts every day?

But this chess heart, I don't know what it's for, let's ponder it first.

In the following days, Li Hao moved the chessboard to his bed, spread a blanket on it, and simply used it as a pillow.

When eating, he also placed the chessboard beside him, worshipping it like a Buddha statue.

But this kind of formalism didn't seem to have any effect.

Li Hao didn't find the servants to continue playing chess, and when he had nothing to do, he watched the little girl practice sword, or went to Listening to Rain Building to flip through various books.

On this day, when Li Hao was flipping through books in the Listening to Rain Building, he saw several pages of chess manuals in one of them, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The book recorded the interesting stories of a famous figure hundreds of years ago. That great figure was humiliated in his youth, and later when he sought revenge, his enemy gave up martial arts to learn chess.

The great figure once said that when he came to take revenge in the future, he would definitely crush the other party in all aspects, making the other party completely desperate, before beheading him.

As a result, the other party had already learned chess for many years.

On the spot, he took out his chess skills to compete.

The great figure was miserably defeated, but unexpectedly, this person was stubborn, and really didn't kill this enemy on the spot.

However, he slaughtered the enemy's whole family, not sparing women and children, only leaving the enemy, saying that he would definitely come again in the future.

But later, he died without being able to solve this chess game.

Li Hao couldn't help but want to laugh after reading it.

That enemy seemed to be very familiar with that great figure. Although his martial arts talent couldn't compare, he was smart enough to use this move to avoid killing disaster.

He suddenly felt that playing chess seemed to be a bit interesting.

Not blaming the Li Clan, even he, in this martial arts world, felt from the bottom of his heart that playing chess was just entertainment and had no meaning.

But now, this idea had changed slightly.

{Chess manual "Myriad Phenomena" detected, do you want to collect it? } Characters suddenly floated before his eyes. Li Hao was surprised, and suddenly thought that there was chess manual collection on the panel.

It can also be seen that he was indeed not interested in Chess Dao, only treating it as a tool for brushing experience. For five years, he had never collected any chess manual.

At this moment, he felt a bit ashamed in his heart.

Li Hao chose yes on the spot.

Soon, in the chess manual collection of the panel, a chess manual named "Myriad Phenomena" was added.

At the same time, there was a prompt behind it, which could be embedded.

Li Hao was confused, tried to choose embed.

At this time, a line of characters jumped out: {Please select embedding target: Body-Refining Dao, Sword Dao. } Li Hao was surprised, what does it mean? He thought about it and chose Body-Refining Dao.

Just stepped into practice, experienced the feeling of power surging, and had more expectations for Body-Refining Dao.

【Embedding successful.】 At this time, Li Hao suddenly felt a complex message surging over.

He was extremely familiar with this feeling, and after a while, he had digested it. Li Hao saw his panel behind:

【Body-Refining Dao: First Stage (Myriad Phenomena)】

And the mottled information in his brain told him what exactly happened.

Myriad Phenomena: Places the target in the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, unable to be observed, and can cover up all energy.

Li Hao performed it slightly, and the aura of his whole body was restrained. The surging power and energy in his body seemed to shrink into countless pores and cells, unable to be observed.

"Special attribute?"

Li Hao was shocked, not expecting that the chess manual would have this effect, it was simply unbelievable.

With his second-stage Chess Dao, he could understand this chess manual somewhat. Inside, there were big mazes covering small mazes, traps and dilemmas at every step, which was no wonder that the great figure couldn't solve it for his whole life.

It's just that, after this chess manual was embedded in Body-Refining Dao, it would actually bring similar attributes.

If he had chosen to embed it in Sword Dao just now, would there be some confusing effects in his sword art, making people unable to observe the real killing move? If it were combined with the gorgeous sword moves of the Tide sword art, it would be estimated to be even more dazzling.

Li Hao glanced at the panel, and the "can embed" behind the Myriad Phenomena chess manual had disappeared, meaning he could only choose one.

However, this opened up a new world for him. In this way, chess manuals are the kingly way!

If he could collect other types of chess manuals, wouldn't he be able to attach all kinds of special BUFFs to his attacks?

Thinking of this, Li Hao was full of interest and searched everywhere in the building.

But Listening to Rain Building is a holy land for martial artists in the world, not a holy land for chess players. For several consecutive days, Li Hao searched in the Listening to Rain Building, but only found three chess manuals in total, one of which was used to pad the bookshelf.

"Flying Segment", "Hidden Bow", "Tiger Pressure".

With three chess manuals in hand, Li Hao studied them and pondered their attributes according to the characteristics of these chess manuals, and embedded "Flying Segment" and "Hidden Bow" into Sword Dao. 【10-

"Tiger Pressure" was embedded into the Physical Dao.

Flying Stage: Attack distance increased by onefold, with super-distance strike effect.

Hidden Bow: Killing move hidden, slaying in one step.

Tiger Pressure: Strength slightly increased, with intimidation.

The three chess manuals brought Li Hao a great improvement.

Unfortunately, although the Divine General Mansion had everything, as a martial arts family, they did not have the habit of collecting chess manuals.

Li Hao returned to the courtyard and could only ask the retainers around him to go outside and find chess manuals for him, but these retainers declined in every possible way; no one dared to help the young master go further and further down the path of "neglecting his proper work."

There was no other way; Li Hao could only bring out heavy rewards to tempt them.

In the following days, besides waiting for the chess manuals, Li Hao also began to slowly ponder his chess skills.

He removed the blanket from the chessboard at the head of his bed and put it back, also removed the chessboard from the dining table, and occasionally, besides strolling in the courtyard, he would watch the little girl practice swordplay.

Perhaps because she had lost both parents at a young age and had lived a wandering life, the little girl's character was extremely hardworking, and under Lin Haixia's guidance, her sword skills improved day by day.

"Wrong, this move is practiced incorrectly."

This day, while teaching swordplay, Lin Haixia displayed the strict side of a military officer; even though he was very satisfied with Bian Ruxue's Sword Dao talent in his heart, once she practiced incorrectly, he would still criticize her harshly.

The little girl endured her tears and stubbornly practiced over and over again.

Li Hao shook his head helplessly; although Lin Shu was a good person, he might not necessarily know how to teach according to one's aptitude.

After being scolded a few times, the little girl's sword moves were almost becoming deformed.

At night, Li Hao looked at the little one who was still repeatedly practicing by herself in the courtyard and called her over.

"This posture is wrong, the arm needs to be bent a little, yes, like this, don't keep the waist too stiff..."

With no one around, Li Hao gave the little girl extra coaching, guiding her hand by hand.

Bian Ruxue was not stupid, and she indeed had talent for Sword Dao; under Li Hao's guidance, her posture soon became precise, possessing quite a bit of sword charm.

"Brother Hao, do you also know swordplay?" After the little girl finished practicing, she looked at Li Hao excitedly: "Then shall we practice together tomorrow?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to get up early."

Li Hao was startled and said quickly.

"If Lin Shu knew you also knew swordplay, he would definitely be very happy." Bian Ruxue said expectantly; although she didn't understand many things yet, she could see that the elders around seemed to be somewhat disappointed in Li Hao.

The little girl was so diligent and hardworking; in her heart, she was actually holding her breath. Everyone said Brother Hao was no good, but she felt that Brother Hao was actually very smart.

"I don't know swordplay, don't talk nonsense." Li Hao said quickly; little girl, don't return evil for good and ruin my chance to sleep in, I would really cry to death.

Bian Ruxue was puzzled: "But you clearly..."

"Go, go, sleep, sleep." Li Hao rolled his eyes, drove the little girl away, and urged her not to talk nonsense.

The next day.

In the courtyard, Lin Haixia watched Bian Ruxue waving her sword moves and slowly widened his eyes.
