Chapter 463: Chapter 160: Blade Flows Like Honing the Sea Calm, The Invisible Ninety-Nine Breaks Body Qi

In an instant, the information in the "Skills" turned into [Skill: ??? (Fourth Grade) (8000/8000)], and the remaining points became "13046".

This skill clearly could not be used in the Fifth Grade state.

Li Yuan imprinted the talisman into his heart, then invoked Celestial Thunder Possession, and a slight smile curved on his lips.

He put away the Cyan and White Snake Dual Blades, and walked with his hands behind his back.

In the area around him, streaks of blade light were rapidly appearing.

Martial Artists below the Sixth Grade could only see the air around him distort, while those at the Sixth Grade could feel the terrifying energy gathering around him. Only those at least at the Fifth Grade could barely see the formless blades containing terrifying power.

These invisible blades floated around him, calm on the outside, but inside, they held destructive power.

One...

Two...

...

Ten...

Eleven...

...

Eighty-one...

Condensing eighty-one strands of Sword Qi was the effect when this skill reached (Fourth Grade) (7999/8000).

But the moment the skill reached (Fourth Grade) (8000/8000), a qualitative change occurred.

The eighty-one strands of Sword Qi could fuse into one, becoming a single Sword Qi.

Li Yuan soared into the air, with the eighty-one strands of Sword Qi flying along with him.

When he reached a certain point, he slightly joined his two fingers, merged the Sword Qi into one, then with a flick of his sleeve, the Sword Qi flew out, and with a casual flick, slash, and drag, the mountains within several miles seemed to bounce up like human heads with a "boom, boom".

Li Yuan clenched his palm, and the Sword Qi dispersed again.

The young man stood on the lonely cliff, looking up and laughing heartily.

"Exhilarating! Exhilarating!!"

He took a moment to glance at his own data.

As expected, his data changed again.

From "2600~31638" to "2600~41341".

Li Yuan felt elated.

So far, the strongest person he had seen was the Divine Wood Hall Master at Fourth Grade Great Perfection — Qing Hancheng, and Qing Hancheng’s data was "9316~36948".

Now, he finally surpassed Qing Hancheng.

But only by a little bit.

But that’s okay, he had patience, he could wait for the seeds to mature and continue exploring Martial Skills.

You must know, his current Martial Skills for the Fourth Grade, had not yet been elevated to an Ultimate Skill, let alone a Divine Skill...

This was not the end, there was still room for development.

Moreover, more importantly, he had not truly stepped into the Fourth Grade.

Li Yuan glanced at the question mark in the "Skills" and gave this Fourth Grade Martial Skill a name — Formless Body-Breaking Blade Qi.

...

...

After comprehending the [Sea Calm Blade] and [Formless Body-Breaking Blade Qi], Li Yuan resigned from his job of chopping vegetables as a cook and returned to the Tang Sect Forbidden Land.

Seeing everything on track, he wanted to visit Xue Ning.

Li Yuan knew the reason Xue Ning hadn’t come to find him was not only because of her busyness but also because she was quietly watching over their son.

Li Ping’an had already reached the Sixth Grade, and after the Sixth Grade, he naturally needed to go out for training.

But during his training, Li Ping’an would often encounter some associations offering food and supplies in the wild.

Li Ping’an even became friends with several stewards of these associations.

And these steward friends would also provide Li Ping’an with special information.

But all of this was actually arranged by Xue Ning.

The way Li Ping’an conducted things was high-profile, and for a president of a commerce association that controlled a lot of information, finding out his whereabouts was not easy, but not too difficult either.

She dared not get close to her son, so she watched silently and quietly from afar, protecting him...

Li Yuan flew for five or six days before finding Xue Ning.

When he landed in the courtyard, the beautiful woman was sitting quietly in the serene study, looking at various pieces of information. She wasn’t considered a commercial prodigy, so she needed to work particularly hard to maintain the operation of Chuyun Commerce Association.

After all, Chuyun Commerce Association needed to be sufficiently hidden to survive amidst the gaps of various major forces.

Outside the study, the cicadas chirped incessantly, and the green shade spread out a peaceful path, with stacks of crates full of cargo in the corner shadows, some wooden, some of various metals.

Li Yuan landed without hiding his presence, and as he landed, a bulky figure with a "615~625" floated above his head came out, blocking the study.

The metallic noises of "ka-ka" came from the bulky figure’s back, quickly transforming into six arms, each holding knives and shields, brandishing aggressively.

Obviously, this was a Sixth Grade Puppet created by Tang Nian.

And inside this study, naturally, there were other mechanism traps, and even poison, so long as a Fifth Grade didn’t attack from far above, they would pay the price.

"Sister Xue, please put away your puppet." Li Yuan shouted from afar.

In the study, the beautiful woman seemed to be hearing illusions. She tilted her head to look, only to see a white-clad youth standing under the blazing sun. Who else could it be if not her own man?

After being momentarily stunned, she then revealed a genuinely happy smile and in a rare tone of coquettishness that no one else could hear, she said, "The awe-inspiring Master Li, still afraid of this little puppet?"

"I’m afraid of breaking it." Li Yuan continued to shout.

The beautiful woman laughed, stood up, her figure tall and slender, with a long-sleeved gauzy dress draped over her thin shoulders.

With a flick of her long sleeves, the puppet retreated, and all the dangerous aura in the courtyard disappeared.

She picked up her skirt hem, ran out, and rushed into Li Yuan’s embrace.

Li Yuan picked her up and spun around in mid-air.

When they landed, Xue Ning’s head slightly shook as if dizzy.

She then lowered her head and let out a severe coughing fit, and after calming down, she was still gasping for breath. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"What’s the matter?"

"What else could it be? Just feeling a bit weak... cough cough..."

"You’re worrying about too many things."

"But, I’m very happy...

I’m helping you, and I can also take care of our son."

"I’ll find someone to help you..."

"Who will you find? Who else can help you sit here? Niannian?" The beautiful woman showed a tired smile, gently stroking his chest, and said, "Our family is still too small."

Then she coyishly said, "Why don’t you have more children, adopt more sons and daughters?"

Li Yuan carried her horizontally, smiling, "Alright! Let’s have one tonight!"

The beautiful woman pounded his chest, her face blushing deeply, slightly opening her red lips, and said, "Annoying!"
