Chapter 2: Sword Art Collection

【Name: Li Hao】

【Age: 0】

【Cultivation: Mortal】

【Mastered Arts: None】

【Artistry Points: 0】

These characters that had become clear were actually a character panel that Li Hao was very familiar with.

The reason he said he was familiar with it was because he had seen this thing in his previous life.

But not in reality, but in a game.

When he transmigrated, Li Hao happened to be bored and casually downloaded a casual mobile game from the "Far Ahead" store. This panel was the character panel in the game.

It's just that, at this moment, the attribute of 【Cultivation】 had been added.

And the age and name columns had also switched to his true current state, rather than that internet name that never changed for ten thousand years: "Past Events Drift with the Wind."

As for the 【Artistry Points】 at the end, he felt even more intimate with it.

Unlike the adventure exploration and card-type liver-exploding mobile games on the market, this game focused on relaxation and entertainment.

There was no combat system, no combat equipment, only flashy and sassy fashion, as well as various artistic and leisure entertainment.

Such as chess, fishing, painting, carving, etc.

You could also watch movies and play poker.

The serious kind.

The only thing was that there were no wild monsters, and you couldn't fight.

Different skill improvements would accumulate 【Artistry Points】. Each Artistry Point could directly improve the art level and unlock more gameplay.

He didn't expect that after transmigrating, he would actually bring this thing with him.

Wait.

This thing wouldn't want him to become a full-time life master like in the game, right?!

Li Hao was somewhat stunned and speechless.

This is the Ephemeral Realm, what's the use of doing art! I want to fight!

"Report—"

While Li Hao was immersed in the astonishment of the panel, a harsh military report suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

He saw a personal guard of the Li Clan rush into the courtyard, quickly breaking the peaceful and happy atmosphere. He knelt on one knee in front of General Xing Wu Hou and reported quickly: "Marquis, there is a riot in Yanbei. The Prince of Pingcheng has colluded with demons and slaughtered the border city of Mofeng, as well as eight surrounding small towns. Hearing Hearing Yu Huang has issued a decree for you to set off immediately to pacify the riot!"

The gazes of the powerful figures and the wives of various courtyards in the courtyard instantly converged on General Xing Wu Hou, their expressions different.

Li Hao came back to his senses, somewhat stunned.

It's only been a few months, and there's actually another war?

The smile on General Xing Wu Hou's face disappeared, already filled with murderous aura. His eyes were like cold electricity, staring at the personal guard in front of him, and then he slowly stood up.

Seeming to notice something, he looked up at Li Hao's side and met his wife's gaze.

The murderous aura in the man's eyes instantly dissipated, revealing a look of guilt: "Qingqing, you accompany Hao'er for the hundred-day banquet, I will go and return quickly."

Ji Qingqing's face was slightly ugly. She turned and handed Li Hao to the Fifth Mother beside her. Looking at the infant in the swaddling clothes, Ji Qingqing had an illusion that it seemed this child was also looking at her seriously, and there was some reluctance in his eyes.

She was dazed for a moment, only thinking it was an illusion. After all, the child was only a few months old, what did he know about parting? "Mother will go and return, you must be good." Ji Qingqing gently touched Li Hao's forehead, her eyes also full of reluctance.

But then she resolutely walked towards General Xing Wu Hou: "This trip is dangerous, I will accompany you!"

General Xing Wu Hou immediately shook his head: "You stay and accompany Hao'er, he is still young and needs you to take care of him."

"I am a great general in the army, the commander-in-chief is already in place, how can I be absent."

Ji Qingqing's eyes were solemn: "The Prince of Pingcheng is cunning and has been enduring for many years, but now he has suddenly made a move. I am worried there is another hidden reason, so let me accompany you."

General Xing Wu Hou stared at her, knowing his wife's stubborn character, sighed, and didn't try to persuade her anymore: "Fine, then I entrust Hao'er to the care of all the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law. We will return as soon as possible."

"You must be careful."

The First Lady walked over, her face showing worry, and said: "You can rest assured to leave Hao'er to us, don't worry."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

General Xing Wu Hou smiled slightly, then turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "Prepare the horses, the Fa-character battalion personal guards assemble, follow me!"

A family of generals, doing things swiftly and decisively, long accustomed to going on expeditions, the couple soon led a team of personal guards to leave the mansion, rushing to the Yanbei border camp under the stars.

That was the place where the Li Clan had fought for many years. The Li Clan was most familiar with the terrain, environment, demons, and opponents there, and it was also the place guarded by the Li Clan.

Because of this, Ji Qingqing was determined to follow.

There were many eyes and ears in the courtyard, and there was a sentence she didn't say in public: The Yanbei riot, why did Hearing Hearing Yu Huang receive the news even earlier than them?

Early winter, Qingzhou City welcomed its first snowfall.

More than a year had passed since the hundred-day banquet, and Li Hao was already one and a half years old.

His parents were still on the Yanbei battlefield and had not returned. According to secret reports from the Li Clan army, the war there was deadlocked, and it seemed there was a trend of evolving into a long-term war.

At this time.

Li Hao, who was already one and a half years old, stood alone in the Shanhe Courtyard, with his little hands behind his back, like a little adult, staring at the goose-feather snow falling all over the sky.

He didn't know how the young girl who became his mother was doing on the Yanbei battlefield.

The surrounding servants and maids were long accustomed to the young master's behavior.

Although Li Hao had just turned one year old, the name of a prodigy had long spread throughout the Li Mansion.

Since he could make babbling sounds after half a year, Li Hao had never wet the bed again.

When other children were crying and making noise, the young master could already use short words like "eat" and "poop" to remind the wet nurses to feed him and for his bowel movements.

At one year old, when other children were just learning to walk, young master Li Hao could already run around everywhere, and would point at the words in books, asking the servants around him to read to him, teaching himself to read.

Not crying or making noise, intelligent and sensible, this was the impression the servants and maids had of this young master.

"Second Lady, the young master is over here."

At this time, a graceful and luxurious figure walked into the courtyard. Seeing Li Hao standing alone in the snowy courtyard, the beautiful woman raised her willow eyebrows and scolded: "How are you looking after the young master? Aren't you afraid of freezing the young master on a snowy day?!"

The surrounding servants and maids were startled and hurriedly knelt down.

The leading steward said nervously: "Reporting to Second Lady, it, it was the young master himself who wanted to watch the snow, and told us not to disturb him..."

"The young master is still a child, and you just listen to whatever he says? If he told you to die, would you die?!"

A look of anger appeared on the Second Lady's face. She walked quickly to Li Hao's side, picked him up in her arms, and patted the snow on Li Hao's head with her hand: "Even if the young master wants to watch the snow, can't you hold an umbrella for him? And wearing so little, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

Everyone was instantly sweating profusely, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Second Mother, don't blame them, I didn't let them come over." Li Hao said helplessly when he saw this.

Since his parents went to the Yanbei battlefield, he had been taken care of by the wives of various courtyards in turns. Every wife treated him extremely well. The Second Lady Liu in front of him had a gentle temperament, but was extremely strict with the servants. If he didn't speak up, these servants who served him would inevitably have their skin torn.

Hearing Li Hao's clear words, a flash of light flickered in Liu Yue'rong's eyes, and she snorted lightly: "For Hao'er's sake, I will spare you this time. If I see it again, I will let you taste the feeling of being in the cold lake in midwinter!"

After saying that, she turned her face and said to Li Hao with a gentle smile: "Hao'er, Second Mother will take you to eat something delicious. You child, why don't you wear more? Even if you have the Dragon Blood Treasure Jade given by His Majesty, what if you get sick..."

Chattering, her words were full of concern, and she carried Li Hao out of the courtyard.

Li Hao was long accustomed to it, letting Second Mother hold him in her arms.

Not long after, Liu Yue'rong carried Li Hao to the Water Flower Courtyard.

In the courtyard, a four or five-year-old child was waving a wooden sword, actually dancing it with sword flowers, looking quite decent.

This was the Second Lady's only son, Li Qianfeng.

At such a young age, his eyes actually had a look of focus and perseverance.

Beside him, a burly middle-aged man was guiding him, nodding frequently from time to time.

Li Hao knew that this was one of Li Qianfeng's seven military masters, specifically teaching him sword techniques.

Seeing the Second Lady come over, the burly middle-aged man hurriedly bowed and saluted, his gaze sweeping over Li Hao in her arms. He knew that this was the Qilin son named by Hearing Hearing Yu Huang. After testing his talent in the future, perhaps he would not be inferior to the Li Qianfeng he was teaching.

The child practicing sword did not lose focus because of his mother's arrival, still practicing sword attentively.

Liu Yue'rong also didn't disturb him, nodded slightly to the burly middle-aged man, and carried Li Hao to the pavilion on the side.

On the pavilion table were precious fresh fruits and pastries.

Liu Yue'rong held Li Hao, feeding him while watching her child practice sword, the light in her eyes flickering, and before long she was lost in thought, forgetting to feed him.

"Is this the Li Clan's best sword art, 'The Sea Has No Bounds'?"

Li Hao opened his little eyes, curiously observing.

This Second Mother's child, heard that he had already measured his bones, and his talent was excellent.

I don't know what it will be like when I measure my bones in the future? In the courtyard, five-year-old Li Qianfeng practiced step by step. Although he only practiced the posture, the posture was standard, making the burly middle-aged man nod repeatedly, unable to help but praise.

But there was no joy on the child's face, still focused.

"Do it again!"

Although the burly middle-aged man praised him, his teaching was extremely strict.

The child practiced from the beginning again, his posture skillful, obviously already very familiar with it.

Li Hao watched intently, and suddenly, a subtitle jumped out before his eyes.

"Already learned the basics, do you want to collect it?"

What?!

Li Hao was surprised and subconsciously chose yes.

"Collection successful!"

At this time, the panel jumped out from before his eyes.

【Name: Li Hao】

【Age: 1】

【Cultivation: Mortal】

【Sword Dao: Not yet entered (can add points)】

【Skill: Sea Has No Bounds Tide (Not yet entered) 【Forbidden】】

【Mastered Arts: Chess Dao】

【Chess Dao: First Stage (82/500) (can add points)】

【Chess Manual Collection: 0】

【Artistry Points: 1】

Over the past year, Li Hao had been trying to explore his panel, but because he was too young and couldn't appear too early-witted and monstrous, the things he could test were limited, and it just so happened that there was a chessboard in the mansion.

At half a year old, he lay on the chessboard, playing by himself.

The wet nurses and maids who took care of him, seeing that the young master seemed to like this "toy" of a chessboard, were also happy to be relaxed.

It was better than crawling around everywhere.

In his testing, Li Hao was surprised to find that by playing chess, he could actually gain chess experience like in the game and easily level up!

You must know that it is very difficult to improve your chess rank in reality.

It requires focus, talent, and hard work.

And Li Hao himself only had an amateur level of chess Dao that hadn't entered a rank.

But now, just by playing a simple game on the chessboard, he could gain experience points.

Improving from rank 0 to rank 1 in chess Dao only required 100 experience points.

From rank 1 to rank 2 was 500 points.

If it weren't for the maids around him looking at him from time to time, making Li Hao not dare to be too obvious, he would have brushed more experience points long ago.

No way, although these maids didn't understand chess Dao, they still had some common sense.

If they saw Li Hao, who was less than a year old, placing all the chess pieces in the correct positions, it would inevitably be a bit weird.

And at this moment.

On the panel, besides Chess Dao, two attributes of 【Sword Dao】 and 【Skill】 were added, which were not there before.

Especially the prompt behind 【Sword Dao】 made Li Hao somewhat curious and excited. Could it be that Sword Dao was the same as Chess Dao, and could directly improve the rank through Artistry Points? He didn't think much and chose to add points.
