Chapter 3: Wasted Divine Blood

When consciousness floated, a large amount of information suddenly surged into his mind.

Li Hao covered his head, feeling his brain swelling, as if it were about to burst.

This made a look of pain appear on his face.

"Hao'er, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Yue'rong noticed Li Hao's abnormality and was startled, hurriedly asking with concern.

Li Hao gritted his teeth tightly.

The chaotic thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down, and Li Hao then discovered that there was a lot of knowledge about swords in his brain.

It was as if he had practiced sword arts day and night for two or three years.

Damn, this headache feeling was the same as when his Chess Dao leveled up before...

Li Hao rubbed his head, panting heavily. He was still too young, his brain hadn't fully developed, and the complex information brought by Chess Dao and Sword Dao was a terrible impact on his fragile brain.

He didn't speak, Li Hao was trying hard to calm down.

"Is it because you caught a cold from the snow?" Liu Yue'rong touched Li Hao's forehead, but felt no fever, and couldn't help but be puzzled.

At this time, Li Hao had completely recovered. Looking at Second Mother's suspicious eyes, he pointed to his mouth and said vaguely in a milky voice: "Bit, bit my tongue."

Liu Yue'rong was stunned, instantly relieved, and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Li Hao muddled through it and didn't pay attention to her anymore, but secretly looked at his panel.

【Name: Li Hao】

【Age: 1】

【Cultivation: Mortal】

【Sword Dao: First Stage】

【Skill: Sea Has No Bounds Tide (Perfect) 【Forbidden】】

【Mastered Arts: Chess Dao】

【Chess Dao: First Stage (82/500)】

【Chess Manual Collection: 0】

【Artistry Points: 0】

Li Hao was somewhat shocked. The Artistry Points at the end were gone, but Sword Techniques had actually really changed from "Not yet entered" to "First Stage"! Moreover, the skill below, Sea Has No Bounds Tide, had also changed from "Not yet entered" to "Perfect"! Li Hao had heard the military teacher who taught Li Qianfeng say.

Any technique is divided into three levels: Entry, Nimble, Perfect! Entry refers to being able to skillfully perform a complete set!

Nimble means that besides being skillful, one can also flexibly apply it, having fully understood it and being able to use it with ease!

Facing different situations, one can meet moves with moves, without being rigid! As for Perfect.

It means that the technique has been fully mastered, used like an arm, even if performed in reverse, it can be done easily, without any flaws exposed! Unless it is a flaw in the technique itself!

Heard that above Perfect, there is a higher realm.

That kind of realm can even complete the flaws of the technique, making the power go to a higher level!

And at this moment, after Li Hao's Sword Techniques improved to the First Stage, the first layer of sword technique of Sea Has No Bounds actually reached Perfect directly! This would require at least ten years of hard work to practice! The Li Qianfeng in front of him, heard that he had only practiced the first layer of the tide of Sea Has No Bounds for half a year, and he was already considered a sword technique genius.

Then, what am I now? A monster? Seeing that Second Mother didn't pay attention to him, Li Hao's gaze also returned to the courtyard.

At this time.

The child in the courtyard was still practicing sword, but in Li Hao's eyes, it was not as amazing as before, but instead, he could see at a glance that the other party's technique was immature and his posture was stiff!

If it were someone who knew how to use a sword, they could knock the wooden sword out of his hand with just a light strike! "Not bad." The burly middle-aged man was very satisfied with Li Qianfeng's performance.

His bone structure was excellent, and his comprehension was also very good. In another two years, this first layer would reach Nimble.

You must know that Li Qianfeng at this moment was just a child, his brain hadn't fully developed, and this was already extremely rare.

Time passed.

Li Hao watched while eating the snacks fed by Second Mother, gradually feeling a trace of sleepiness and boredom.

He yawned, lay in Second Mother's arms, and slowly closed his eyes.

Something seemed to flash before his eyes, but Li Hao was already asleep.

Hearing the slight breathing in her arms, Liu Yue'rong looked down, a trace of complexity flashing in the depths of her eyes.

But when she looked up at her son practicing sword in the snow, the complexity in her eyes disappeared, and her expression returned to calm.

She got up, carried Li Hao, left the small pavilion, and returned to her bedroom in the back courtyard, placing Li Hao gently on her bed and covering him with a quilt.

Her movements were gentle, as if she were his biological mother.

Li Hao was sleeping muddledly, feeling his body being put down, and woke up a little more.

He felt his chest warm, slightly feverish. That was the Dragon Blood Jade pendant bestowed by Hearing Hearing Yu Huang, which he had been wearing close to his body. This was also the reason why he could stand in the snow without feeling cold at all.

Just as Li Hao was about to turn over and continue sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard a low voice coming from outside the room.

"Did you really feed this child that thing?" A strange man's voice.

"Things have come to this, I have no other choice."

This was Second Mother's voice, but it was not soft and intimate, only cold as if treating a servant.

"You also saw it, how hard my son works, and he is a talent of the century! People from Boundless Mountain have already come to see him. When Qianfeng is six years old, they will take him to Boundless Mountain to practice. When his divine blood awakens in the future, inheriting that power passed down by his father, he will definitely move the world!"

"I must pave the way for him!"

Li Hao opened a slit of his eyes slightly, his slightly muddled and sleepy brain somewhat confused.

Who is Second Mother talking to? "Now we don't know what talent this child has, this move is too rash." The low man's voice sighed. Outside the door, there was a brief silence.

Soon, Liu Yue'rong's voice sounded, only colder, with a trace of mockery in her tone: "Parents love their children, so they plan deeply for them!"

"Originally I didn't want to do this either, but these wooden heads of the Li Clan are stupid beyond belief!"

"This child, if you want to blame someone, blame his father. Who told that General Xing Wu Hou to be so monstrous? Others don't know, but I know clearly that he had already stepped into that realm when he was twenty-three..."

"That is to say, there is a not-so-small probability that his child will also awaken divine blood!"

"What?!"

The low man's voice was shocked: "Twenty-three years old, and stepped into the 'Three Imperishable'?!"

"That's right, the Li Clan's ancestor was the founding Divine General of Great Yu, with powerful bloodline. Father inherited the ancestor's will, and it is the same."

"In the previous generation, besides Qianfeng's father, that General Xing Wu Hou was also a monster, as well as the third, the sixth, and the ninth! Especially the ninth son, even more terrifying. Fortunately, he died early and left no offspring..."

"The third son's wife is taking care of him by her side, and she is a woman, so she will marry out sooner or later, so it has no influence. Although the sixth son also stepped into the Three Imperishable early, it was after marriage..."

Liu Yue'rong said coldly: "The only one who can compete with Qianfeng is this child. Otherwise, why do you think Hearing Hearing Yu Huang bestowed blessings upon him? Even if his martial arts aptitude is mediocre in the future, with divine blood awakening, he can still compete with top geniuses!"

There was silence outside the house.

The low man sighed softly and said: "Since the Lady has already made such a decision, I won't say much more."

"You don't have to worry, this medicine was sought by me from Wuliang Mountain. After taking it, it will leave no trace, will not be traced, and there will be no pain. I also wrapped it in sugar coating, so the taste won't be strange. Although he is still young, it won't leave any deep memory for him. After all, children have eaten too many candies."

"Taking a step back, if it is found out in the future that he cannot awaken divine blood, it cannot be determined that it was our handiwork. Anyone in this Divine General Mansion could have done it!"

"Besides, the bloodline of that realm might not be 100% awakened. Maybe his child wasn't good to begin with?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yue'rong sneered: "Thanks to this Yanbei war, Ji Qingqing and General Xing Wu Hou are deeply in love, and she followed him to the battlefield, which gave us such an opportunity. Otherwise, if this child were a few years older and they returned, there would definitely be martial generals secretly guarding him, and it would really be hard to make a move."

The man didn't answer again, just sighed softly.

Not long after, the footsteps of the two walked away.

Inside the house, Li Hao was now completely awake, his brain dazed, finding it hard to believe.

Second Mother actually wanted to harm him?

Usually caring for him, concerned everywhere, it was actually fake?

Li Hao didn't want to believe it, but the facts were before his eyes.

Although he didn't understand what divine blood was, Second Mother chose to destroy him because she felt he would hinder her child's path!

Li Hao's face was ugly, and he clenched his fists slightly.

The gentleness and laughter of the past few days made him feel at ease. Second Mother was like this, what about the others? Who else was sincere? Although he had only been here for a year and a half, being taken care of and cared for by these wives in turns every day, Li Hao also had some feelings for this mother figure.

But now, it all felt like a bubble.

Is this the internal strife of ancient noble families? He touched his body with his little hand. Besides the slight fever in his chest, there was no other feeling, and this heat was brought by the Dragon Blood Jade pendant.

Mother said that he had his father's power in his body, but now... it was gone.

Li Hao secretly clenched his little hand. He would definitely avenge this grudge in the future!

Spring passes and autumn comes.

In the blink of an eye, Li Hao was three years old.

Now, he spent most of his time in the Shanhe Courtyard. When eating food sent by the wives of various courtyards, he was much more careful. Sometimes he would directly pretend not to like it and push it away, acting like a child.

Gradually, the servants in the courtyard understood that the young master was extremely picky about eating and drinking.

Three years old.

In the Divine General Mansion, this was an extremely critical age.

Ordinary families started martial arts practice at seven or eight, or even ten or more.

Some even had their bone structure set, and even if they had talent, it was hard to achieve great success, having missed the best practice time due to family circumstances.

But the Divine General Mansion was a martial arts family, with the most rigorous practice methods. The children in the clan built a foundation from a young age.

Three years old: Foundation Establishment.

Four years old: Blood Melting.

Five years old: Bone Measuring!

By the time they were six, it was basically the day to officially start practicing, without wasting a single moment.

On the road of practice, thousands of people compete to cross, one step ahead, step by step ahead! Whether one has the aptitude for practice can also be tested when measuring bones at five years old.

If the bones are fully developed and the bone marrow is full and solid, one can start practicing after measuring bones at five years old.

It's just that the Divine General Mansion has a deep foundation and follows the principle that haste makes waste, stipulating that one can only officially practice at six years old, allowing the body to grow and consolidate for another year, so that future practice will be smoother.

Like the talented Li Qianfeng, it was the same. He could practice after measuring bones, but he still went to Boundless Mountain at six years old.

On weekdays, practicing sword in the courtyard was just practicing basic sword moves and cultivating martial arts sense, not really stepping into practice.

And those with average bone-measuring aptitude and slow development, even at six years old, could not practice and needed to develop for a few more years, perhaps seven, eight, or nine years old.

However, in the Divine General Mansion, there were countless famous medicines and exotic treasures to nourish and improve martial arts aptitude. Over the years, the worst in the Divine General Mansion started practicing at eight years old.

Heard that one was a premature baby who was injured in the womb, which led to this.
