Everyone noticed and was shocked as they watched her.
“Song has realized…”
“She actually achieved perfection, and she’s mastered this sword in less than a year!”
“It’s the perfect level, just like what Li just demonstrated!”
The crowd was extremely shocked, becoming excited. In their remarks, Li Hao’s title shifted from “Li” to “Li Master.”
From reverence to admiration!
Meanwhile, several others seemed to have realizations as well, rushing towards the weapon racks, drawing swords, and swinging.
The hall was spacious enough for their practice.
The others also snapped back to reality, no longer observing others, and hurried to engrave their recent insights using their swords.
Suddenly, everyone was rushing to the weapon racks, practicing with swords.
After completing her swordsmanship, Song Yueyao also came out of her trance, staring blankly at the sword in her hand, then looked towards the young man, seeing him give her a gentle smile with an expression of encouragement and admiration.
That smile was like a ray of sunshine, striking right at her heart.
Song Yueyao was slightly dazed, then her cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she looked away.
Inside the hall, everyone was actively and excitedly immersed in their practice, continuously trying to capture and engrave the flavor that was fading from their minds.
During this period, several people shouted excitedly, “I’ve done it!”
These were the ones who had been stuck at a bottleneck, and now suddenly broke through.
Li Hao smiled.
When someone asked for guidance, he clapped his hands, indicating for everyone to watch again.
This was repeated four times.
By the time the sun set in the west, Li Hao had also ended this lesson.
Before class ended, seeing that a dozen people had reached the perfect level, Li Hao was quite gratified, feeling that hard work pays off for those who try.
“Li Master, the swordsmanship you demonstrated, what level is it?”
“I heard that beyond perfection is the Ultimate Perfection. Is that the level you’re at?”
Just as the class was about to end, someone couldn’t help but ask.
Li Hao smiled and said, “Beyond perfection is the Ultimate Perfection, and above that, there is the True State, which is the level I demonstrated to you.”
He felt there was no need to hide such a skill level.
Like Sword Saints and Saber Saints, these mighty ones who have immersed themselves in a particular path for decades, have already touched the True State.
They even have grasped some of the profound meanings of certain sword techniques.
Moreover, Li Hao felt that the True State was not the pinnacle; above it, there should be even higher levels.
However, with his current understanding of the Tao Realm, he was not able to reach it yet; perhaps when his State of Mind achieves Spiritual Awakening, stepping even higher, he might catch a glimpse of it.
“True State…”
Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, everyone was dumbfounded.
Song Yueyao’s pupils contracted slightly, looking at Li Hao in disbelief.
She had heard from her grandfather about the existence of the “True State,” but it’s extremely rare, requiring immense talent in the art and decades of dedicated practice to even touch upon it!
Undoubtedly, Li Hao is a genius in Sword Dao, but to master this sword technique to the True State, he’d need at least a decade of hard training, right?
But Li Hao is only fourteen years old now… Song Yueyao dared not think further, feeling her Taoist Heart might collapse.
She finally understood what those people, who complained about how hard it was to be around a genius, truly felt.
“Tonight, ponder it yourselves, the master leads the entrance, cultivation is up to the individual.”
Li Hao waved his hand in farewell, announcing the end of the class.
Back at the mansion, Li Fu found Li Hao, mentioning that the lord had sent a message, suggesting that Li Hao make some friends when possible. Although securing the True Dragon was almost a certainty, networking was a lifelong matter.
He hoped Li Hao could brilliantly secure the True Dragon without leaving any shortcomings for others to criticize.
Regarding this, Li Hao casually agreed.
The next day.
Li Hao prepared an extra portion of small pastries and walked to the edge of the cold pond, lightly kicking a small stone into the pond.
Soon, the massive figure of the Water Qilin surfaced, then transformed into a human form and stepped out of the water, her body clean and unblemished by any water stains.
Seeing the small pastries in Li Hao’s hands, Song Qiumo’s eyes gleamed with delight.
Li Hao smiled, handed her all the pastries, then waved goodbye without staying for long.
Watching Li Hao walk away, Song Qiumo bit into the sweet pastry in her hand, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
Meanwhile, Li Hao was on his way to his second lesson, having already arranged for a transfer.
Just as he reached the entrance of the White Hall, he heard an angry voice from inside:
“How can you, as a teacher, humiliate a child like this?”
“He may be less talented in martial arts, but that doesn’t mean he’s a lesser person!”
“You can discipline him, lash him harshly, treat him as strictly as you would treat any Martial Artist, but you can’t disgrace him as if he were a beast!”
The speaker seemed extremely angry, full of vigor in his voice.
Hearing this bellow, Li Hao paused, slowly walking towards the entrance.
He saw that the hall was already filled with people; his habit of sleeping in meant he had not arrived early.
At that moment, three individuals stood in front of the trainees, namely, Sun Hongdian and Zhou Zheng seen the day before.
Next to Zhou Zheng was a strapping middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes but with a rugged and upright bearing. His features bore some resemblance to Zhou Zheng, though Zhou appeared more delicate.
On the ground in front of them lay scattered book fragments, adding another person to the scene, eerily similar to yesterday.
“General, you can’t be unreasonable like this!”
Sun Hongdian, flushed with embarrassment, was scolding Zhou Zheng, who expected his father to come to visit and caught him in the act.
Ideally, just hearing it was enough, he felt that this General should be grateful for his strict education, helping him discipline his troublesome child.
