When he arrived at the hall, Huang Peng, Su Yan, and Li Lu were all there. Apart from the two of them, a girl in a light green dress was sitting in the hall. Her face was as smooth as congealed fat, her cherry lips were as fresh as if they were dripping, and her lively eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief and playfulness. When she smiled, two adorable dimples appeared, making her look like a fairy who had never experienced the烟火of the mortal world.
This was Li Lu.
Four years had passed, and Li Lu was now fifteen years old. As Su Yan had predicted, Li Lu had grown into a great beauty. Whenever she went out, she was absolutely stunning.
Currently, in the Starry Sky Academy, there were three great beauties, and Li Lu was one of them.
"Xiao Long!"
Seeing Huang Xiao Long return, the three people in the hall all looked delighted and called out happily. Li Lu even stood up from her seat and ran over to Huang Xiao Long.
However, when she reached Huang Xiao Long, Li Lu, who had intended to hug him as she used to, suddenly stopped. Her face turned rosy, and she looked somewhat shy. Wearing a light green dress, Li Lu's slender waist was delicate and graceful, but her chest was prominently prominent, rising high.
Huang Xiao Long smiled and said, "I heard from Huang Min that you've been here for five days."
Li Lu nodded shyly.
"Alright, don't just stand there. Let's go back to the hall and sit down," Su Yan said with a teasing smile. "You'll have plenty of time to talk later."
Huang Xiao Long didn't think much of it, but Li Lu blushed even more.
In the past four years, Huang Peng and Su Yan's strength had also increased significantly.
Huang Peng was now at the peak of the seventh stage, and Su Yan had just broken through to the seventh stage. Over these four years, they had often taken the Flame Dragon Pearl given by Huang Xiao Long to cultivate, cleansing their meridians and bones, making them seem younger and younger. The two, who were in their forties, looked to be around thirty. If Li Lu and Su Yan stood together, people would surely think they were sisters.
Everyone returned to the hall and sat down.
"Xiao Long, now that you're back, don't leave so soon," Su Yan said with a smile after sitting down. "Li Lu won't be returning to the Li Manor this year. She'll be spending the New Year with us."
"Not going back to Canglan County?" Huang Xiao Long was somewhat surprised and looked at Li Lu.
Li Lu, feeling a bit embarrassed under Huang Xiao Long's gaze, nodded and said, "I've told my father and grandfather that I won't be going back this year. I'll spend the New Year here."
"That's great! If Sister Li Lu stays for the New Year, it will be even more lively!" Huang Min clapped her hands and said with a smile. "In a couple of years, when Sister Li Lu marries in, we'll spend every New Year here!"
Marry in? Li Lu's face turned red at the mention.
Huang Xiao Long glared at his sister, but Huang Min seemed to ignore his gaze and smiled smugly.
"Xiao Long, your sister is right," Su Yan interjected with a smile. "I think in a couple of years, you should marry Li Lu. I've already decided that Li Lu will be my daughter-in-law. In a few more years, I want to hold my grandchild!"
Grandchild?
Huang Xiao Long broke out in a cold sweat. What was this all about?
Li Lu's face turned even redder, but she didn't show anger. Her bright eyes were filled with joy as she looked at Huang Xiao Long tenderly.
Huang Xiao Long felt a bit embarrassed and looked to his father, Huang Peng, for help, but Huang Peng just shrugged, indicating he couldn't do anything about it.
Actually, in the Wu Soul World, it wasn't uncommon for people to marry at seventeen. In two years, Huang Xiao Long and Li Lu would both be seventeen.
Fortunately, the awkwardness didn't last long. Soon, Huang Xiao Hai returned from outside and called out happily as he entered the hall, "Big Brother, Big Brother!"
Huang Xiao Hai's call broke the previous awkwardness.
Upon returning, Huang Xiao Hai said that there was a match at the southern city arena, and it was very lively. He wanted to drag Huang Xiao Long along to watch.
Huang Xiao Long then used this as an excuse to go to the southern city arena with his younger brother, Huang Xiao Hai.
That night, when it was deep and quiet.
The moonlight stretched Huang Xiao Long's shadow.
Standing in the courtyard, Huang Xiao Long took a step to the left, bent his knee, squatted down, kept his upper body straight, placed his hands on his waist, and held his forearms as if supporting a heavy object. He continuously breathed in and out, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously gathered around him.
In the past four years, Huang Xiao Long had not only broken through the sixth and seventh postures of the Yi Jin Jing, the Claw Displaying and Wing Spreading Posture and the Nine Ghosts Pulling the Saber Posture, but he had also cultivated to the eighth posture, the Three Platforms Landing Posture. He was not far from breaking through to the ninth posture, the Green Dragon Probing the Claw Posture.
White mist continuously entered and exited through Huang Xiao Long's nose and mouth, and white mist like clouds and flowers gathered above his head.
In the description of martial arts experts on Earth, when they cultivated, they would have the "three flowers gathering at the top," which was similar to Huang Xiao Long's current state.
As the night slowly faded,
Huang Xiao Long stopped when the sky began to brighten.
After stopping, Huang Xiao Long leaped into the air and swung the Asura Blade. Countless blade auras rolled out, like wave after wave of lightning. At the same time, Huang Xiao Long's figure continuously spun and rolled in the air, the lightning like a proud dragon, continuously moving and enveloping all directions.
In the past four years, Huang Xiao Long had not only cultivated the Wrath of the Underworld to its perfected state but had also cultivated the fourth move, the Thunder of Fengdu, to a minor completion.
The move he had just performed was the fourth move, the Thunder of Fengdu.
The Asura Sword Technique had four moves: the Hell Wind, the Asura Tears, the Wrath of the Underworld, and the Thunder of Fengdu. Each move was extremely profound, and each move's power was unpredictable, with each move being stronger than the last.
When the Thunder of Fengdu was cultivated to its perfected state, it was as if the user transformed into countless lightning bolts in the air, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Huang Xiao Long spun in the air for over a dozen breaths before finally descending.
When he first started cultivating this move, the Thunder of Fengdu, Huang Xiao Long could only spin in the air for four breaths.
When attacking with the Thunder of Fengdu, spinning in the air was not a simple spin but followed a specific trajectory, making it extremely difficult.
After landing, Huang Xiao Long did not perform the Thunder of Fengdu again but instead circulated the Asura Technique. Black light flashed over his body, and a killing aura spread out. His hair gradually turned white and stood on end. At the same time, two black wings extended from his back!
In the past four years, Huang Xiao Long had cultivated the Asura Technique to the third level, and his Asura Body had evolved. The black wings on his back were the Demon Wings that had grown after the evolution of the Asura Body.
Huang Xiao Long's Demon Wings, when extended, were over two meters long. With a flap, he soared into the air, moving like a black shadow in the sunlight.
Huang Xiao Long's speed was already faster than that of a typical early-stage ninth-rank expert. Now, with the Demon Wings, he was comparable to some mid-stage ninth-rank experts.
In the air, Huang Xiao Long's figure continuously changed. One moment he was in the left corner of the courtyard, and the next, he appeared in the right corner. With the Demon Wings and his innate soul skill, Shadow Following, Huang Xiao Long's speed had reached an astonishing level.
After a while, Huang Xiao Long stopped practicing and retracted his Asura Body.
"Tomorrow is the grade competition again," Huang Xiao Long muttered to himself.
Since he had advanced to the second grade, he had always been the top of his class, but he had never competed for the top of the grade. Starting this year, he would aim for the top of the second grade.
(Some people say that after four years, the protagonist is only at the peak of the eighth stage, and the improvement is too slow. I'm dizzy. Do you think the eighth stage is so easy to break through? After the seventh stage, the higher you go, the harder it gets, and the time it takes to break through each stage becomes longer. Also, think about how old the protagonist is now.)
