Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Seeing that the Sword Master had also arrived, all the disciples present were amazed.

The Sword Master was extremely mysterious, residing in the Sword Tower year-round, and most disciples never got to see him when selecting secret manuals; they only heard of his name and rarely saw his appearance.

At this moment, the Sword Master's words were clear and indifferent, yet each word seemed to strike like water droplets falling on stone, echoing in everyone's ears.

"28 years old?"

"A disciple of the Supreme Saint Gate?!"

When they heard the Sword Master's words clearly, the previously noisy arguments fell into silence once more. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

The disciples below the stage were stunned, doubting their own ears, the youth on stage was only 28 years old?!

Having cultivated for less than 30 years, his swordsmanship had already surpassed the Haoyue Saint Son, and he had not even displayed the Extreme Realm, defeating him solely with swordsmanship.

What kind of monster was this?!

Bian Ruxue and Qiu Wuhen, among others, were also dumbfounded. Qiu Wuhen's eyes widened slightly. Today, he had seen his usual fishing companion, who turned out to be an exceptional swordsman, which was surprising enough, but to think that person was even younger than him?

How was this possible!

He often encountered Li Hao while fishing; such swordsmanship at that age, there seemed no other explanation than relentless practice.

Yet the man seemed to have a lot of leisure time.

"28 years old, isn't he just a year older than Saintess Xue'er?"

"But his swordsmanship has already entered the Dao. It's already extraordinarily difficult to cultivate to the Tao Comprehension Realm at 28, not to mention to also comprehend such swordsmanship."

"Even with a Dao Heart and a Daoist Body, that is easily capable of sudden insight, it shouldn't be this fast, right?"

Many saint heirs and saintesses showed amazement in their eyes. Such swordsmanship, if cultivated for over a hundred years, they might accept, but to cultivate for merely 28 years, that was a bit exaggerated.

Bian Ruxue was also stunned. Besides her childhood, it was the first time she had seen someone her age who was such a monster, yet his strength was far ahead of hers; she could not catch that sword, a strike close to the one she pursued in her heart.

Atop the high platform, several Half-Saint Elders were somewhat moved. The words of the Sword Master couldn't be wrong; he must have measured the other with the Bone-Reflecting Mirror, still, Li Hao's age was indeed a surprise for them.

The Sword Saint glanced at the Sword Master, understanding the meaning behind his words.

He frowned slightly, his eyes reflecting contemplation. To establish a good karma, might not be a bad idea.

But, such a monstrous fellow, apparently targeted for assassination by Saints and ended up stranded here, the situation was probably quite complicated.

"Since you're a disciple of the Supreme Saint Gate, the sparring between you two today will end here. If you are still interested in the future, you can settle it in the Supreme Genius Battle, where you can both go all out."

The Sword Saint spoke, framing the recent clash between the Haoyue Saint Son and Li Hao as mere sparring, also to save the reputation of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land. Otherwise, if the Haoyue Saint Son went all out and was easily defeated by Li Hao, it would bring despair to many disciples of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land.

Hearing his master's words, the Haoyue Saint Son recovered from his dazed state, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

He very well knew his master's intentions, but he felt wronged at this moment.

If Li Hao were several hundred years old, he wouldn't mind losing, since when he himself reached that age, he would surely surpass the current him.

But in this battle, he had given almost his all and still suffered defeat; it was complete and utter, and the opponent was even younger than him.

He was humiliated to think that he had fallen so far that his master had to lie for him, his heart swelling with humiliation.

Li Hao understood the intention of the Sword Saint and naturally would not expose it; otherwise, it would be too harsh a face slapping.

After all, this was someone else's territory, and he had to bow his head.

Beside him, Lin Qingyue was somewhat confused; she had never expected that the person she had picked up unintentionally was actually a disciple of the Supreme Saint, like accidentally picking up trash and finding it to be gold?

With the Sword Saint's words, this farce also came to an end.

The disciples all came to their senses, their expressions varying.

Whether the Haoyue Saint Son had given his all or not, no one knew, but the first exhibition of his Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation at least showed a significant portion of his power, yet he still lost, which was enough to show the terror of Li Hao.

Such a figure was bound to shine brightly in the future.

In the floating seats, Lin Shanhai and the other alchemists were all abuzz.

"Qingfeng is actually a disciple of the Supreme Saint; how did he learn to purify medicinal materials like that?"

"Is he a swordsman or an alchemist?"

"Old Lin, didn't you swear he was descended from alchemists; you were so sure before."

Zhao Yingzhen and others were frightened by the strength Li Hao had displayed, and now they looked at Lin Shanhai with teasing smiles.

Lin Shanhai was speechless. How could he know such things?

But he carefully recalled that whenever he had asked Li Hao, the damn kid just smiled without saying a word, neither confirming nor denying.

What a cunning boy!

Lin Shanhai couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He'd lived for a good many years, yet he'd been fooled by a young kid.

However, seeing Li Hao stand up for Lin Qingyue, he felt quite moved in his heart.

"With your age, you'll be participating in the Supreme Genius Battle, won't you? I'll seek you out for another battle then!"

The Haoyue Saint Son looked at Li Hao, his eyes dark. He said these words through a private transmission and, after speaking, turned and walked away without looking back. Today's battle had been a shock to him, and he determined to train even more furiously to seek a breakthrough in the coming days.

Li Hao, hearing these words, didn't take them seriously and turned his head to look at Lin Qingyue. He had taken action in this fight both to vent Lin Qingyue's anger and mainly to help her reconstruct her Sword Intent.

In disciple sparrings, victory and defeat were common occurrences. If one lost, one could only blame their own lack of skill, and there was nothing to be angry about.

But, since the other party took advantage of it to maliciously harm others, that was why he angrily took action.
