Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 4: Terrifying Cultivation Speed, Qiu Yonghao is Completely Subdued!

Qiu Yonghao began to seriously doubt whether his title of ninth-level sword god was somewhat undeserved.

Isn't that a bit too useless?

Even with almost all their strength, they couldn't "make things difficult" for a mere second-tier warrior.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Li Hao asked with some concern as he dispelled the light shield.

"No...it's okay."

Qiu Yonghao waved his hand, stood up while leaning against the wall, and looked at Li Hao with an extremely complicated expression.

There was shock, elation, and a slight...sense of defeat.

After processing his complex emotions, Qiu Yonghao's expression became extremely solemn.

"Xiao Hao, your master will teach you a supreme area-of-effect combat skill for those below the sixth rank, which is the pinnacle of fifth-rank combat skills—'Ripple of Light'!"

"It took me a whole month to fully master this move back then!"

"Look closely!"

"The key to its effectiveness lies in..."

As he spoke, Qiu Yonghao raised the iron sword in his hand high.

A massive amount of spiritual energy began to converge, and the light elements throughout the training ground became violent.

"In the name of the Holy Light, cleanse the world of all evil!"

He suddenly plunged the sword into the ground!
Om-!
A visible golden ripple spread out from the sword's center, like ripples on water, covering the entire training ground.

Wherever the ripples passed, they left fine burn marks on the bluestone floor, and the air was filled with sacred yet violent energy.

This move requires both skill and spiritual power; if even the slightest deficiency is lacking, it cannot be successfully executed!
After the demonstration, Qiu Yonghao's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. He was panting and staring intently at Li Hao.

It wasn't from being tired, but from the unprecedented pressure of teaching Li Hao.

This time, Li Hao did not act immediately.

He closed his eyes and stood quietly, his mind replaying the golden ripples as they were repeatedly deconstructed, analyzed, and reassembled.

Huo Linfei is transforming this complex combat technique into his body's instinct at an unimaginable speed.

One minute...two minutes...

Just when Qiu Yonghao thought he had finally encountered a problem, Li Hao opened his eyes.

He imitated Qiu Yonghao, raising the iron sword above his head and mobilizing all the spiritual power within his body.

"In my name, burn away all obstacles in my path!"

boom!
A sword plunges down!
A golden ripple also spread out from him!
However, this ripple only covered one-third of Qiu Yonghao's area, and its light flickered and its energy fluctuations were extremely unstable.

It spread halfway before losing momentum and dissipating into the air.

Failed?
Just as Qiu Yonghao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes widened suddenly.

No! There was no failure!

Although its power was greatly reduced and its form unstable, Li Hao had indeed mastered the core techniques of "Ripple of Light"—

He drew upon spiritual energy to create a wide-ranging shockwave, and thus mastered most of the essence of this technique.

This is a peak fifth-tier combat skill!
Can you master 70-80% of it after just one look?
"Ouch!"

Qiu Yonghao could no longer contain himself and let out a gasp. He rushed forward, grabbed Li Hao's shoulder, and shook him violently, as if he were possessed.

"I've stumbled upon an unparalleled treasure! This talent... this talent is unprecedented!"

……

The first day of instruction ended in Qiu Yonghao's ecstasy and dazed state.

In the days that followed, Qiu Yonghao completely let loose and stopped being confined to teaching specific moves and techniques.

Instead, they piled up all the combat skill manuals from level one to six in front of Li Hao like a small mountain, letting him look at them and comprehend them on his own.

He himself would carry a small stool, brew a pot of tea, and sit by the training ground every day, calling it "protecting his disciples."

In reality, he wanted to witness firsthand just how far this prodigy disciple could grow.

The next morning, Qiu Yonghao arrived at the training ground yawning and saw Li Hao meticulously practicing the "Sunburst Slash" he had learned the day before.

He habitually scanned Li Hao with his mental energy, and then his hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air.

"External spiritual power... 150 points?"

Qiu Yonghao rubbed his eyes and examined them again.

That's right, it's 150 points!

He clearly remembered that Li Hao's spiritual power had just broken through to 140 points yesterday!

"I shouldn't have given him any pills, should I?" Qiu Yonghao muttered to himself, falling into deep self-doubt.

"Another ten points of external spiritual power increased overnight? Isn't that speed a bit too fast?"

Day 3, 160 o'clock.

Qiu Yonghao's eyelids twitched; he had accidentally burned his tongue while drinking tea.

Day 4, 170 o'clock.

Qiu Yonghao switched to a larger teapot and added three leaves of calming grass.

Day 5, 180 o'clock.

Qiu Yonghao began talking to himself in front of the metal dummy in the corner of the training ground: "Old buddy, do you think this is an illusion? Why don't you try cutting me with your sword?"

Day 6, 190 o'clock.

Qiu Yonghao gave up drinking tea and pulled out a dusty book, "On the Self-Cultivation and Peace of Mind of Warriors," from his storage ring, and began to read it with great interest.

They ignored the escalating spiritual energy fluctuations in the arena.

Finally, the dawn of the seventh day arrived.

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds and shone on the training ground, Li Hao, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly unleashed an aura far stronger than before.

The light elements around him converged wildly, forming a small eye of the storm.

The external spiritual energy within his body seemed to break through some invisible barrier, and with a bang, it stepped into a completely new level.

External spiritual power, 200 points, the ultimate in physical training.

At this moment, the 99 points of innate internal spiritual power are connected with external spiritual power.

Tier 3 Warrior - Battle Master!
Achieved!

"Crack!"

Qiu Yonghao crushed the deluxe edition of "On the Self-Cultivation and Peaceful Mindset of Warriors" in his hands into pieces.

He suddenly stood up, staring intently at the young man surrounded by golden light and whose aura was surging, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

"Seven days... in just seven days, he went from 130 points of external spiritual power to a Battle Master?"

Qiu Yonghao's voice was trembling. This ninth-level, second-tier sword god and the master of the temple was completely unsettled at this moment.

He had an absurd illusion that he saw Li Hao riding a lightsaber and chasing after him at high speed.

At this rate, ten points a day, three hundred points a month, and three thousand six hundred points a year...

From second-order to third-order, from third-order to fourth-order...

Qiu Yonghao dared not think any further.

This is just a very basic estimate. What if Li Hao were taught even more advanced cultivation methods?
What if we use elixirs and pile them up without spending any money?
What if we helped Li Hao obtain a spirit furnace to aid his cultivation?
……

Qiu Yonghao shook his head violently, trying to banish the many terrible thoughts from his mind, but the inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart just wouldn't go away.

He looked at Li Hao, his eyes filled with shock and... a hint of pressure.

He had a misconception.

If this continues, his disciple will probably catch up with and surpass him in just a few years!
Once this idea took hold, it burned wildly in Qiu Yonghao's heart like a prairie fire.

This made him, a ninth-level sword god, feel the immense pressure of the "rising generation" for the first time.

It's as if... it's already been slapped on the beach!
