The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 97: Master Li
The sword shadows were like a dream. When the rehearsal was over, there seemed to be sword shadows like fleeting light, lingering in front of their eyes. Everyone found it difficult to let go and could not forget them.

However, the sword shadow was too complicated. Although I remembered it, I couldn't seem to remember it clearly.

Seeing that everyone was immersed in thought, Li Hao did not delay any longer and sat down to continue painting.

+827, +789, +702…

Li Hao grinds ink and paints with great speed.

The paintings he created of dozens of people in the divine realm accumulated as much as seven or eight hundred experiences for each painting, which made his painting experience grow rapidly.

While Li Hao was painting, the others gradually woke up. Seeing that Li Hao was busy, they did not dare to disturb him, but instead took the time to comprehend and ponder.

After Li Hao finished the fourth painting, he looked at everyone and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Master Li, can you demonstrate it to us again?"

After everyone looked at each other, a handsome young man spoke.

He was a genius in the Bai Palace who was on par with Song Yueyao, so it was quite embarrassing for him to say this at the moment.

Others practiced it twice in a row, but he didn't really understand it.

Li Hao glanced at the others and saw that they all had expectant and reserved looks.

"Ok."

Li Hao thought about it and decided that practicing over and over again was not a solution.

Besides, since you are teaching, you have to have a correct attitude and try your best to teach until the child learns. Otherwise, there is no point in just fooling the servants.

He asked everyone and found out that they all had a base at the agility level.

However, the levels of dexterity vary, some are just reached, and some are close to perfection.

"Since I'm teaching you, I hope you can learn something from it."

Li Hao looked around at everyone and said, "I have three classes this year. I hope you can learn this sword technique to a perfect level in these three classes. As long as you can complete it, I can consider fulfilling your three wishes to the best of my ability!"

"Perfect level?"

"Three wishes?"

Everyone was stunned and frightened by Li Hao's ambition.

This is not giving them a wish, this young master is making a wish for himself!

Three lessons to teach them all to a perfect level?
This is not high hopes, it's wishful thinking.

They dare not compare themselves with Li Hao, who can learn the sword skills without a teacher just by reading the sword manual once and practice it to a perfect level.

What's more, they were somewhat skeptical in their hearts and felt that Li Hao had made preparations in advance.

How can a teacher not prepare lessons?

I just secretly installed it for him.

"Master Li, isn't your request too difficult?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Master, you are not kidding, I admit it's a bit funny..." someone said.

Song Yueyao looked at Li Hao in confusion. She had reached the agile level for half a year and knew very well that it was quite difficult to go from agility to perfection. Even if one had good talent, it would take a year or two of crazy hard training to engrave the sword moves into her bones and achieve perfection.

It is impossible to do this in just three classes.

However, this "impossible" thing does not seem so far away for the legendary young master of the Li family in front of him.

After all, everything the other party showed seemed "impossible".

Seeing that everyone was talking, Li Hao didn't say much and picked up the sword again.

It would be difficult and a waste of time to just rely on perfect sword-fighting training and ask them to copy it.

But if you can master the charm of this sword technique, it will be much easier to go from the deep to the shallow.

"quiet!"

Li Hao's eyes turned cold.

Just two words calmed the whispers in the hall.

Everyone's heart inexplicably palpitated, they felt the majesty, and their eyes became slightly solemn.

“Feel it with your heart.”

Li Hao said, his expression was no longer casual, but he was staring at the sword.

Then he raised his hand and drew his sword.

The Yin and Yang swords are separated, the true form!
That’s right, Li Hao directly displayed his true swordsmanship beyond flawlessness!
The true level of swordsmanship returns to its original simplicity and is extraordinary, and can thoroughly display the artistic conception and charm of this swordsmanship.

I saw the sword flashing, and black and white lights appeared alternately, which was the replacement of light and shadow.

The sword was wandering in the air, yet it seemed to be traveling through another space.

The sword is real, the air is virtual.

As the sword light rotated, the two black and white lights kept alternating, and finally suddenly merged into one.

The sword is finished.

The hall was silent as everyone stared in trance. Their sight and thoughts seemed to be taken away by the sword. They were immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Even though Li Hao had put away his sword, they were still staring blankly, as if the sword shadow containing an indescribable charm was still appearing before their eyes and still turning in their minds.

Li Hao didn't say anything to disturb him, but just waited quietly.

Suddenly, someone woke up, and then everyone else came back to their senses one after another.

"This, this is the Yin Yang Sword?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

"It seems completely different from what I practiced before! But, this seems to be real, and what I practiced before was fake!"

“It’s not fake, it’s wrong!”

"This is the real Yin-Yang Sword. What Mr. Sun taught is wrong. No, everything in the sword manual is wrong!"

"One sword defies yin and yang, one sword disrupts the void!"

The more they talked, the more excited they became. Their voices got louder and louder, their faces turned red, and they couldn't help themselves.

Song Yueyao was in a daze, blocking out all the discussions around her. Suddenly, she closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she suddenly rushed to the weapon rack, and with a swish, she drew her sword!

Then, the sword came out.

The sword shadow is like light, trembles like a snake, and is colorful!

The sword shadow, like a peacock spreading its tail, was perfectly presented at this moment.

The swordsmanship that had been stuck at a bottleneck for half a year without any progress, at this moment, reached a new level!
Everyone noticed and looked at her in shock.

"Senior Sister Song has realized it..."

"She actually mastered it to perfection. She's only mastered this sword for less than a year!"

"It's at a perfect level, exactly the same as what Master Li just practiced!"

Everyone was extremely shocked and excited, and they changed the way they addressed Li Hao from "Mr. Li" to "Master Li".

From awe to admiration!
At the same time, the other people seemed to have realized something as well, and they all rushed to the weapon rack, drawing their swords and waving them.

The hall was spacious enough for them to practice.

The others also came to their senses. They did not bother to continue watching others, but hurried to record their recent insights with their swords.

All of a sudden, everyone rushed to the weapon rack and took up their swords to practice.

After Song Yueyao finished practicing swordsmanship, she woke up from her intoxication. She stared blankly at the sword in her hand, and then looked at the young man, only to see him smiling at her with an expression of encouragement and approval.

That smile was like a ray of sunshine, hitting her heart.

Song Yueyao was distracted for a moment, then her cheeks suddenly turned red and she turned her eyes away.

Inside the hall, everyone was actively and excitedly engaging in practice, trying to engrave and capture the charm that was gradually fading from their minds.

During this period, several people shouted excitedly, "I've done it!"

They were all at a bottleneck, but now they have overcome it in one go.

Li Hao smiled.

When someone asked for advice, he clapped his hands and signaled everyone to look at it again.

Repeat this four times.

When the sun was setting, Li Hao also finished the class.

Before the get out of class ended, Li Hao was pleased to see that more than a dozen people had achieved perfect levels. This could be considered as hard work paying off.

"Master Li, what level of swordsmanship are you practicing?"

"I heard that above perfection is perfection. Is that your level?"

The get out of class was about to end and someone couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Above perfection is perfection, and above perfection is the true state, which is the level I am demonstrating to you."

He felt that there was nothing to hide about this level of skill.

Strong ones like Sword Saint and Knife Saint, who have been immersed in a certain way for decades, have already touched the true state.

He even mastered some of the secrets of swordsmanship.

Moreover, Li Hao feels that the true state is not the pinnacle, and there should be a higher level above the true state.

However, with his current level of understanding of the Tao, he is unable to achieve it. Perhaps when his mind reaches a spiritual level and reaches a higher level, he will be able to glimpse it.

"True state..."

When everyone heard what Li Hao said, they were all stunned.

Song Yueyao's pupils shrank slightly and she looked at Li Hao in disbelief.

She had heard from her grandfather about the existence of the "true state", but it was extremely difficult to see. It required a very high talent for the skill, plus decades of immersion and hard practice, to be able to touch it!
Li Hao is undoubtedly a genius in swordsmanship, but to master this sword technique to its true form, he would have to practice hard for at least ten years, right?
But Li Hao is only fourteen years old now... Song Yueyao didn't dare to think about it anymore, and felt that her Taoism heart was about to collapse.

She finally understood what those people who used to complain about being uncomfortable with geniuses felt.

"Think about it on your own tonight. The master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you."

Li Hao waved goodbye and announced the end of get out of class.

After returning to the mansion, Li Fu found Li Hao and said that the Marquis had sent a message, asking Li Hao to make some friends when he had nothing to do. Although becoming a real dragon was a sure thing, connections were a lifelong matter.

I hope Li Hao can capture the real dragon with great success without leaving any shortcomings that could cause criticism.

In response, Li Hao just agreed casually.

The next day.

Li Hao prepared an extra portion of crispy biscuits in advance. He came to the edge of the cold pond and kicked a small stone with his toes, which flew into the cold pond.

Soon, the huge figure of the water qilin emerged, and then transformed into a human form and walked out of the pool, his body clean and refreshed, without a single stain of water on it.

Seeing the small biscuits in Li Hao's hand, Song Qiumo's eyes showed joy.

Li Hao smiled, handed all the biscuits to her, then waved and left without staying long.

Seeing Li Hao walking away, Song Qiumo took a bite of the crispy snack in his hand, his eyes smiling into crescent shapes.

At this time, Li Hao came again for the second class and had applied for handover.

As soon as he walked outside the White Palace, Li Hao heard an angry voice coming from inside: "As a teacher, how can you insult a child like this?"

"He has poor aptitude for martial arts, but that doesn't mean he is a bad person!"

"You can teach him a lesson, whip him severely, and treat him harshly like a warrior, but you can't treat him like a beast!"

The speaker seemed extremely angry, and his voice was full of energy.

Hearing the angry shout, Li Hao was slightly startled and slowly walked towards the door.

He saw that the hall was already full of people. He had the habit of sleeping in, so he didn't come early.

At this moment, there were three people standing in front of the students, they were Sun Hongdian and Zhou Zheng who we met yesterday.

Next to Zhou Zheng was a burly middle-aged man who wore casual clothes but looked tough and tall. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Zhou Zheng's, but Zhou Zheng was more delicate.

On the ground in front of them, fragments of books were scattered. Except for one more person, the scene was very similar to yesterday.

"General Zhou, you can't be so unreasonable!"

Sun Hongdian was scolded so much that his face turned red. He was scolding Zhou Zheng when his father came to visit him and overheard him.

He had listened to it anyway, and he felt that General Zhou should thank himself for his strict education, as he was disciplining this naughty child for him.

Instead, the other party rushed in directly and started scolding him, which made him stunned on the spot.

"I am unreasonable? What I said was unreasonable? Do you think you are justified in insulting my son?!"

Zhou Zheng's father said angrily: "Although I am a warrior, I also understand some basic principles. I know that my son is a human being, an upright person. He is not a rat that spoils the whole pot of porridge!"

"Not even a filthy and despicable worm who has allowed himself to degenerate!"

"He just failed to learn martial arts, but he is not unworthy of being a human being!!"

The burly father's voice was extremely angry and deafening: "Although my son's talent is not high, his heart is pure and kind. Even if he is only at the Tongli realm, he is still my pride. What right do you have to insult him like this?"

Everyone in the audience was silent.

No one ridiculed Zhou Zheng for relying on his father for protection; instead, there was a hint of envy in their eyes.

Sun Hongdian said angrily: "I can't make sense with you. If you are like this, your son should drop out of school!"

"If you meet a teacher like you, just drop out of school!" Zhou Zheng's father said angrily, and was about to drag his son away.

Zhou Zheng's eyes were already red. He gritted his teeth, trying not to let his tears fall in front of so many people. He just lowered his head and choked up:
"Dad, I want to stay here. I want to study hard. I also mastered the swordsmanship yesterday!"

"If you want to learn, dad will find you another famous teacher. There are so many famous teachers in the world!" Zhou Zheng's father snorted.

Sun Hongdian was so angry that he trembled and said, "If you go out, you will never come back."

"I never thought about coming back!"

Zhou Zheng's father was furious and was about to leave by dragging his son, but he ran into Li Hao at the door.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Li Hao.

All the students stood up suddenly, bowed and shouted in unison: "Greetings to Master Li!"

This uniform voice not only scared Sun Hongdian and Zhou Zheng's father, but also Li Hao.

"Master Li?"

Sun Hongdian was stunned and looked at Li Hao in confusion.

When Zhou Zheng saw Li Hao, his eyes, which had been sore before, suddenly brightened up, and he hurriedly said to his father beside him:
"Dad, he is Master Li Hao, Master Li. Yesterday, in just one class, he helped all of us master the top-grade swordsmanship from dexterity to perfection!"

"??"

Zhou Zheng's father and Sun Hongdian both looked confused.

What is this kid talking about?
Li Hao was also surprised and dazed.

What the hell, you learned all of it in one class yesterday?
Aren’t there only a dozen people who know the lesson at the end of class?

Wait, then why am I here today?

"Young Master Li Hao..." Zhou Zheng's father looked at Li Hao in shock, then suddenly bent down and knelt on one knee: "I am General Zhou Liang, and I greet Young Master Li Hao."

This action stunned everyone again.

Li Hao quickly lifted him up and asked, "General Zhou Liang?"

"Young Master, I used to be your father's subordinate." Zhou Liang said respectfully.

Li Hao suddenly realized and immediately said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite when meeting me."

Sun Hongdian next to him had an unpleasant expression and frowned.

"Dad, I want to stay here. I want to take another lesson from Master Li." Zhou Zheng said to his father quickly.

Zhou Liang didn't expect that Li Hao, who has been in the limelight recently, would teach here. Seeing his son's plea, he thought about it and agreed.

After Zhou Liang gave his son some instructions and left, Sun Hongdian snorted coldly, "Zhou Zheng, you disrupted the class today. Tan Palace Academy is not a place where you can come and go as you please."

Zhou Zheng's expression changed slightly.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, it's all a misunderstanding."

Seeing Li Hao come forward to plead for mercy, Sun Hongdian changed his expression again and said with a polite smile: "Master Li, you don't know, this Zhou Liang is simply arrogant..."

Li Hao shook his head and interrupted him, smiling: "Mr. Sun, I know you want to use sharp words to motivate the students, but maybe it's too sharp and it's easy to strangle a young soul?"

Sun Hongdian was stunned, his face changed and he stopped talking.

Li Hao didn't say anything more to him. He didn't want to socialize with such people. After finishing the class handover with him, Sun Hongdian left. Li Hao looked around at everyone:
"Did Zhou Zheng just say that you have all reached the perfect level?"

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to become much more lively. Everyone's faces showed excitement, and their eyes were shining. Ma Jing spoke first:
"Master Li, Zhou Zheng is right. The swordplay you practiced yesterday can be called the Tao. We have captured that hint of the Tao, and that is why we are making rapid progress!"

Even though it's just flattery, it really hits the point.

Li Hao said helplessly: "I originally planned to teach you in three classes. So, I came here for nothing today. There is nothing to teach you today."

Everyone burst into laughter. They were extremely grateful and excited to have gained so much from just one class.

Someone smiled and said, "Master Li, have you forgotten something?"

"Ok?"

"You said yesterday that once we all reach the perfect level, you will grant us three wishes!"

Someone looked at Li Haodao excitedly.

Li Hao was speechless. This encouragement was just a casual remark. Who would have thought that they were so capable? They were worthy of being the ones who could enter the White Palace. They all had good talents.

"Then you guys tell me about it, but it has to be within my ability," said Li Hao.

When everyone heard this, they immediately started chattering.

Some wanted to visit Tingyu Tower, some wanted to see the world-famous swords, some said they wanted to learn another sword technique, and so on.

In addition to these more formal wishes, there were also various noisy voices in the crowd. Some said they wanted to become sworn brothers with Li Hao, and others said they wanted to visit a brothel.

Li Hao smiled, pressed his hands, and waited for everyone to quiet down before saying, "You guys discuss and pick one."

Hearing Li Hao's words, everyone was surprised and delighted. They didn't expect that Li Hao would really mean it.

They were already very grateful for being taught swordsmanship, and most of the requests I had made previously were half-joking.

"Hey, don't be too demanding when choosing."

Lin Feifei immediately stood up and warned them, feeling that a few of the guys inside were somewhat ungrateful.

After hearing what Lin Feifei said, several people laughed awkwardly.

"Master Li, you will definitely not agree to go to Tingyu Tower. Otherwise, how about you take us to visit a brothel?" someone said jokingly.

Hearing this person's words, the other young men's eyes lit up and they immediately cheered:

"This is good, this is good!"

They are all at the age of full vigor and vitality. Since they came to Qingzhou Tan Palace Academy to study, they have basically never left the mountain. The competition pressure in the academy is extremely high, and the last-place elimination system makes them dare not relax.

They have long yearned for that romantic place.

When a dozen female students heard this, they rolled their eyes and looked at these guys with disgust.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Going to a brothel is a piece of cake."

In this era, entertainment is scarce, and visiting brothels is equivalent to watching Douyin in the previous life.

Brothels are divided into different grades. The lowest grade is naturally the brothel, which is cheap and prone to disease.

Famous brothels are mostly for performing arts, listening to music and poetry. Of course, if you have good poems or a lot of money, you can also enjoy some pleasant services.

If Li Hao wanted to take them anywhere, it would naturally be to the best brothel in Qingzhou to listen to some ditty music, and don't think about anything else.

"Really?"

The male students were extremely surprised to see Li Hao agreed.

The female students all made a "Pooh" sound and blushed.

Song Yueyao rolled her eyes at Li Hao and snorted, "You guys go if you want to go. I'm not going."

"I'm not going either." Lin Feifei said immediately.

More than a dozen female students expressed their protest.

But the other male students were afraid that Li Hao would change his words, so they were chattering like animals in heat, their flames already ignited.

"It's hard to please everyone. For those of you who don't go, I'll give you a painting as a gift, as compensation."

Li Hao said to the female students.

Hearing Li Hao's words, the female students were a little surprised. Then they saw Li Hao take out the scroll in his hand and open a picture:
"This is what I drew yesterday. You can divide it up and each of you can draw one."

When everyone saw it, they all exclaimed in surprise.

They noticed that Li Hao was painting yesterday and thought it was just a fun activity when he had nothing to do, but they didn't expect that his painting was so exquisite and lifelike!

The painting includes Bai Dian and all the students. Everyone's expression is simple and clean. Some are frowning, some are staring with their heads tilted, all are charming. The women are gentle, while the male students are handsome and unrestrained, and they all have different temperaments.

Blending together, under the warm sunshine, it is as beautiful as a ten-mile spring breeze.

Many people were fascinated by it.

A young man raised his hand and said, "Master Li, I don't go to the brothel anymore, can you give me a painting?"

"There are not many, and female students are given priority." Li Hao said with a smile.

Many female students who were originally quite dissatisfied rushed forward and scrambled for it.

Song Yueyao looked at Li Hao in surprise with her eyes full of autumn waves. Such exquisite painting skills could not be acquired overnight.

This young man was as quiet as a virgin, his green shirt was as firm as a pine tree. Besides mastering the sword art to an extraordinary degree, he even had the energy to focus on these unorthodox skills. It was really puzzling.

After receiving the paintings, many women began to appreciate them carefully. Although they practiced martial arts and could not devote themselves to studying other things, they had a natural love for beautiful things.

After sending away these female students, Li Hao used the second class time to lead the male students out of the White Hall and head down the mountain.

Seeing that Li Hao was going to use teaching time to take them out for fun, everyone was extremely excited. This had never happened before.

If other teachers knew about this, they would probably all be punished by facing the wall.

But with Li Hao supporting him, he is not afraid even if the sky falls.

As everyone went down the mountain, the news also spread to the Tan Palace.

Song Yufeng, who was drinking tea, almost choked and coughed repeatedly. He looked up in astonishment and said:

"You said that Li Hao went to teach, but ended up taking all the students down the mountain to visit a brothel?!"
