Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

These past two days, Li Changqing has been methodically studying two cultivation techniques.

One is a technique that helps people cleanse their tendons and marrow.

Li Changqing had no teacher to instruct him; he only had a general understanding of the principles and knew that it would work.

Since it's my first time trying this, I need to think about it carefully.

The other one is the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique.

Before this, Li Changqing's strength had not improved for a long time.

He has reached a bottleneck.

According to Li Changqing's thinking, after breaking through this bottleneck, his strength should be able to reach that legendary realm.

Before that, it will be difficult for him to make any further progress.

But ever since he began practicing the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique, Li Changqing realized that his previous thoughts were completely wrong.

The martial arts he created were indeed incredibly amazing.

But this does not mean that there is no martial art stronger than his.

After so many years of martial arts tradition, there are always some exceptionally talented individuals who have developed extraordinary skills that others could not conceive of.

Take the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique as an example.

Even if Li Changqing were to reach a high level of cultivation, he would not gain the slightest advantage.

Now that he is practicing this technique, he can make further progress based on his current foundation, which is extremely rare.

Li Changqing had already improved his strength a little by successfully cultivating the first level.

Now that he had the time, Li Changqing cultivated two levels in one go.

This allowed him to advance his Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique to the third level.

That is equivalent to the late stage of the innate stage...

Logically speaking, such a promotion shouldn't be of much help to Li Changqing.

But the truth is the opposite.

Li Changqing could clearly feel that his strength had improved.

Although the improvement was very limited.

But to make any progress on his existing strength, even the slightest improvement, is extremely rare.

If it takes a little longer.

Li Changqing planned to finish the training in one go.

Unfortunately, the King of Qin arrived on the third day.

Outside the Wan Hua Lou, more than two hundred imperial guards had blocked off the entire street.

This is only what's on the surface.

It's impossible to estimate how many skilled individuals are secretly protecting them.

Li Yuanhao, dressed in a robe with four claws and a python pattern, stepped into the Wan Hua Lou.

Li Changqing and his group had received the news early on and were waiting at the door.

"Greetings, Your Highness, King Qin!"

Since the relationship has not yet been confirmed, everyone is currently referred to as the King of Qin.

Li Yuanhao looked at the five teenagers in front of him.

Even though it wasn't the first time he'd seen it, he still found it incredibly amazing.

The two people who most resemble him are Li Changqing and Bai Wushuang.

If you don't look closely, the two people look like they were made from the same mold.

Upon closer inspection, they are about 80% similar.

Adding Li Yuanhao to the mix, saying that the three of them share the same face is a bit of an exaggeration.

But putting them together definitely makes them feel like a family.

The remaining three young masters felt their hearts sink the moment they saw Li Yuanhao.

They were initially just speculating.

It now seems that the three of them are destined to have a difficult time achieving success overnight.

"Get up, all of you! Don't be discouraged, the resemblance between father and son doesn't necessarily mean it's real. I have already investigated your backgrounds. You disappeared ten years ago, either due to amnesia or hazy memories..."

There are several hundred people impersonating imperial grandsons.

Those who have survived to this day all possess some degree of good fortune.

The people from the Prince of Qin's mansion and the imperial court have been investigating.

If any of them had made any mistakes, they would probably have been deported by now.

"Your subject thanks Your Majesty."

One of the three men, seeing the sincerity in the King of Qin's words, burst into tears.

"Your son lived in a daze until the age of five, when he woke up to find his parents and brothers gone. He thought..."

I don't know how long this emotion had been brewing, but now that I'm crying, it's so genuine and heartfelt.

Bai Wushuang looked at him in disbelief, then turned to look at Li Changqing.

That look seemed to ask, "What's wrong?"

His Highness the King of Qin only said one sentence: "How come this person claims to be the thirteenth imperial grandson?"

Li Changqing was also stunned.

I've seen bold people, but I've never seen anyone this bold.

At this point, since their identities haven't been confirmed, it doesn't matter if they're fake.

After all, they didn't come looking for it themselves.

Even if they brought it on their own, as long as no one is pushing them from behind, they can find an excuse to back out.

The imperial court and the Prince of Qin's mansion may not do anything to them.

But you can't just pretend to be someone else.

If it can't be exposed, then so be it.

Once you're exposed as not being true, how will you survive?

Deceiving the emperor is a grave crime!

At best, they would be beheaded; at worst, their entire family would be wiped out.

Li Yuanhao was also somewhat dumbfounded.

Before he arrived, he had basically confirmed the identities of the five people, and the one who was crying was the one with the lowest probability.

The Prince of Qin's mansion found his whereabouts when he was four years old half a month ago, but they couldn't find the person behind it.

This means that he came to Wanhualou to stage an accident.

"Drag him away and beat him to death with sticks!"

The King of Qin, who had just been all smiles, suddenly seemed like a completely different person.

"Father! I really am your son, Father!!!"

Before being dragged away, this fake grandson of the emperor kept trying to win back the King of Qin's fatherly love.

"I could not have given birth to such a stupid son!"

Li Yuanhao flicked his sleeves in obvious disdain.

Then he turned his attention to the other two.

If it weren't for Li Changqing and Bai Wushuang, these two people would also bear some resemblance to the King of Qin.

If you said they were related, probably no one would doubt it.

But now, the color has completely drained from their faces, leaving them deathly pale.

To die!

I'm really going to die!!

The sticks struck the person, tearing their skin and flesh.

In addition, the person outside the door kept crying out pitifully, calling out "Father, Your Majesty, Your Son..."

It was as if he had died unjustly.

The two men were even more frightened.

How many coincidences are there in the world?

Although they were all found by others, they all concealed some of the truth after learning it.

"Your Highness, spare my life! This humble subject is guilty..."

One of the two couldn't help himself; his body trembled like a leaf, and he knelt there, kowtowing repeatedly.

He clearly has memories from before the age of five.

So he knew very well that he wasn't one.

But this wealth was too dazzling, and apart from himself, he no longer had anyone close to him.

In this way, he wouldn't be afraid of being investigated.

But wealth and status are good, but compared to life, they are not worth mentioning.

"Drag it away!"

Li Yuanhao waved his hand indifferently.

boring...

Li Yuanhao didn't know why his father, the emperor, was putting on such a grand show.

For Li Yuanhao, it was easy to distinguish between the real and the fake.

A person's origins and life trajectory are all traceable.

There may be one or two coincidences involved.

But there won't be too many!

Five is too many...

Only one of the three is still holding on.

Li Yuanhao looked down at him, then suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with the Crown Prince?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue.

The last of the three began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I...this humble servant does not know what Your Highness is talking about?"

"Each of you has your own self-narrated life story, as well as a life story that has been discovered. Based on this, three groups of people will verify your stories: our Qin Prince's Mansion, the Six Doors, and the Golden Guard."

"It is precisely because the review process is rigorous enough that so many can be easily identified."
