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

Chapter 5 Combat Talent: First Signs Emerge!
Over the next seven days, Qiu Yonghao completely changed his teaching approach.

He no longer made Li Hao bury himself in cultivating spiritual power, nor did he make him memorize combat techniques and secret manuals.

The growth of a prodigy cannot be planned using common sense.

Thus, the daily scene at the Warrior's Temple became like this—

Qiu Yonghao would sometimes throw Li Hao into the gravity training room to let him get used to the circulation of spiritual energy under high gravity.

Sometimes he would throw him into the puppet battle formation, leaving him to face the siege of dozens of second- and third-tier combat puppets alone.

They euphemistically call it: practice makes perfect.

Under such intense pressure, Li Hao's spiritual power growth rate not only did not slow down, but became even more ferocious.

In just seven days, his inner spiritual power soared from ninety-nine to two hundred and thirty-four!
With his external spiritual power already cultivated to 200 points, he is almost within reach of becoming a fourth-tier battle master.

What made Qiu Yonghao both gratified and troubled was that Li Hao's innate fighting instinct was brought to its fullest extent in actual combat.

Any combat technique, once used by the puppet, can be countered by Li Hao the next time.

Once he has experienced any predicament, he will be able to overcome it with ease the next time.

He is like a piece of the finest uncut jade; with each strike, he shines even brighter.

……

On this day, in a training ground on the back mountain of the Warrior's Temple.

"boom!"

A petite figure was sent flying by a tremendous force, but she nimbly flipped over in mid-air and landed steadily.

Li Hao rubbed his numb shoulder, grimacing as he looked at the girl opposite him who had a neat ponytail, wore a tight-fitting martial arts outfit, and exuded a heroic aura.

"Yuan Yuan, you went too far! My shoulder is probably all bruised."

The girl's name is Wang Yuanyuan. She was Qiu Yonghao's "sparring partner." She has superhuman strength and the bloodline of the Giant Spirit God, making her virtually unbeatable among her peers.

Wang Yuanyuan patted the dust off her hands, glaring at him with her almond-shaped eyes, her expression one of disappointment and frustration.

"I told you long ago, you shouldn't try to knock me away with brute force when you come into contact with me!"

"Your strengths are skill and speed, while mine is power. You're using your weaknesses against my strengths; what else is that but asking for a beating?"

"Hehe, right?"

Li Hao grinned, leaped to his feet, patted his chest, and the arrogant confidence that belonged to Huo Linfei resurfaced: "I understand, I understand, it was my strategic mistake."

"Let's do it again!"

Before he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared beneath his feet, and he charged towards Wang Yuanyuan once again.

The two instantly became entangled in combat, their fists and feet clashing, their energy surging, their moves expansive and powerful, full of the ferocity and domineering nature of warriors.

In the blink of an eye, another ten or so moves had passed.

When another close-quarters encounter opportunity presented itself, strikingly similar to the one before, Wang Yuanyuan's eyes narrowed, and she was ready to send Li Hao flying again.

however.

Just as she was about to exert her strength, Li Hao suddenly lowered his body!
Instead of confronting him head-on, he cleverly followed Wang Yuanyuan's momentum and made a close-range advance.

His arm wrapped around her waist like a serpent, while his other hand gripped her shoulder.

"Oh no!" Wang Yuanyuan thought with alarm.

The next moment, the world spun around!

Li Hao used his waist strength to execute a clean and swift over-the-shoulder throw, sending Wang Yuanyuan flying!
"what!"

The girl let out a scream and fell heavily onto the ground of the training ground.

Before she could react, Li Hao pounced on her like a shadow, pressing his knees against her back and pinning her to the ground with his hands behind her back.

The whole process was smooth and fast!
"You...you let me go!" Wang Yuanyuan was both ashamed and angry, her cheeks flushed red as she struggled fiercely.

However, she discovered that Li Hao's grappling techniques were extremely tricky, leaving her with no way to use her immense strength.

"I won't let go!" Li Hao held her tightly, a smug smile on his face. "Unless you promise me you won't use such force in future sparring sessions, I won't let go." "You...you scoundrel!"

"Then will you agree?"

“…Okay! I promise you!” Wang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, practically squeezing out these words from between her teeth.

"Oh... what am I seeing?"

Before Li Hao could release Wang Yuanyuan, a slightly teasing voice came from outside the training ground.

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you two are hugging and pulling each other like that... tsk tsk, it's really unbearable to watch!"

Upon hearing this sound, Li Hao reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, releasing his grip with lightning speed and leaping off Wang Yuanyuan.

He moved so quickly that it was as if he wasn't the one who had just acted like a scoundrel.

Wang Yuanyuan also hurriedly got up, straightened her messy clothes, glared at Li Hao fiercely, and her blush deepened.

Just now.

A tall, honest-looking young man walked over.

He looked at Li Hao and grinned, "Junior Brother Li, you're quite something! You've only been here for less than a month, and you've already subdued the spiciest little pepper in our Holy Temple?"

"Senior Brother Zhao, don't talk nonsense!" Li Hao shamelessly went up to him and put his arm around the young man's shoulder.

"This is a pure, friendly exchange of combat skills aimed at mutual improvement! How can you slander someone's innocence like this?"

"So, Senior Brother, why are you here instead of on duty in the main hall?"

The young man, addressed as Senior Brother Zhao, slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, seeing you two flirting like that, I almost forgot about the important matter!"

"The temple master wants you to go to the main hall immediately. He said that someone from the Knights Temple has come and specifically asked to see you. Judging from their tone, it seems that they came because of your matter."

"Knight's Temple?"

Li Hao frowned and exchanged a glance with Wang Yuanyuan behind him, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

……

The main hall of the Warrior's Temple is solemn and majestic.

Enormous pillars support the dome, and sunlight filters through stained glass windows, casting dappled shadows. Two figures sit facing each other in the hall.

One of them, of course, is Qiu Yonghao.

Today he wore a golden robe symbolizing the Lord of the Temple, and his expression was majestic.

The faint smile at the corner of his mouth revealed his excellent mood at the moment.

Opposite him sat an old man with white hair and beard, wearing knight's armor, and with a stern and solemn face.

He stood ramrod straight, and even when sitting, he resembled a long spear sweeping across all directions, exuding an imposing aura.

As Li Hao entered the main hall, he immediately felt an invisible pressure.

"Teacher." He bowed to Qiu Yonghao first.

Qiu Yonghao nodded in satisfaction, pointed to the old man opposite him, and introduced him: "Xiao Hao, let me introduce you—"

"This is Han Qian, the deputy temple master of the Knights' Temple, a ninth-rank punitive knight, whose strength is unfathomable."

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained neither humble nor arrogant. He bowed again to the old man, his voice loud and clear:

"Warrior Temple Warrior Li Hao greets Vice Temple Master Han!"

He deliberately emphasized the words "Warrior's Temple" and "War Master," as if declaring his affiliation.

Li Hao had some guesses about the Knights' Temple's intentions.

It was only because of his own talent of "ninety-nine points of innate spiritual power" that he had the idea of ​​poaching someone else's talent.

But can Li Hao leave the Warrior's Temple?
A bag is impossible!

After all, Li Hao is not an ungrateful person!
