Li Hui's words were loud and clear, but Han Hao, who was still a bit dazed, heard this and felt as if something had touched his heart, his eyes falling into a state of confusion.

  That Zhang Shixiong also changed color and looked at Li Hui. From this new disciple in front of him, he felt a kind of arrogance, a kind of unyielding spirit.

  "This new disciple is not someone to be trifled with!"

  Han Hao had completely recovered by now. He himself hadn't been hurt much, he was just dazed from being slapped in the face by Li Hui's consecutive slaps.

  At this time, there is no obstacle, only the two sides of the face are high and swollen, like a steamed bun. At first, it was fine, but after a while, even speaking became impossible.

  Those few old disciples didn't say anything else, turned around and walked out of the martial arts hall, Han Hao also followed closely behind. When he went out the door, he suddenly turned his head to look at Li Hui, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

  Li Hui didn't care at all and was too lazy to even look at him again.

  This Han Hao might not even remember that two years ago, he bullied a poor young boy who has now grown to the point where he can crush him at will.

  He won't be reformed just because he was taught a lesson by Li Hui this time, and learn some humility and tact.

  The mountains and rivers are easy to change, but the nature is hard to move. From his eyes when he was about to leave, it can be seen that Han Hao will still be a bully who relies on power to cheat people in the future. If there is an opportunity, he will definitely take revenge on Li Hui.

  But Li Hui didn't care about these at all. The small shrimp can't stir up any big waves, and in Li Hui's eyes now, Han Hao is just a small shrimp.

  As for those few old brothers, Li Hui is even less worried. The strength that Li Hui has shown today is enough to make them fearful, and these people will not choose to offend Li Hui because of a single Han Hao.

  The Xiu Zhen world is like this, only if you are strong enough will others respect you! If Li Hui lost today, or merely won with difficulty, I'm afraid those senior disciples would have already rushed forward and trampled Li Hui underfoot!

  After Li Hui showed even stronger strength than them, Li Hui changed from "miscellaneous fragments" to "this younger martial brother".

  "Haha, wonderful! It's really too wonderful!"

  After Han Hao and his friends left, Guo Hong and several others burst out laughing loudly.

  "Haha, have you guys seen that Han Hao's wicked behavior? His face is swollen like a braised pork knuckle!"

  "Those few old disciples saw Han Hao being beaten like that and didn't even dare fart, they spoke to Li Shidi with utmost respect!"

  "Haha, I think Li is the strongest among our new junior brothers of this generation!"

  "I think Li Shidi should be the strongest among the third generation disciples!"

  ……

  Guo Hong, Qi Xiang and Mo Fan were excitedly talking about the previous battle. They even praised Li Hui as a genius who was born once in a lifetime.

  Li Hui smiled and didn't say anything. The current self is very strong, but absolutely not a genius! Just two years ago, he was still struggling to survive, earning a living by his own hard work. Even so, he often suffered from people's white eyes and bullying.

  In the Ling Xiao City, among ordinary people, in front of the Hui Tong Building, that scene, Li Hui will never forget! Even now he can think of pinching a ant to death like pinching Han Hao to death.

  But he will remember his situation and the bullying he suffered at that time!

  Among the cultivators of Qi Refining stage, he was top-notch. However, in the eyes of those Foundation Building cultivators, he was still like an ant! In the eyes of those Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, perhaps not even an ant could compare to him!

  Only growing stronger, constantly growing stronger! Standing at the top of this world can truly master one's own destiny!

  Li Hui will not be complacent and stop moving forward just because of this small achievement now.

  The road ahead is still very long, and Li Hui has to take the already lost Sword Immortal Road! Everything needs to be explored by himself!

  Li Hui chatted with Guo Hong and others for a while before leaving the martial arts hall, exiting the main gate of Zhenda Temple and heading towards his own residence.

  The residence given to Li Hui by the sect was a small courtyard built on a protruding rock halfway up Yun Xiao Peak.

  It's a prominent mountain rock, actually over 20 zhang long and more than 10 zhang wide. The entire rock is in an inverted trapezoid shape, with the bottom connected to the whole mountain body. On top, it forms a flat and spacious platform, where Li Hui's small courtyard was built.

  The small courtyard is about ten square feet, and in the southeast corner of the courtyard, a sturdy ancient pine tree grows out of the stone crevice. Outside the small courtyard is a cliff thousands of feet deep, with white clouds swirling at its foot, and the scenery below can be seen at a glance.

  Going through the courtyard, there is a unique stone house in the north. Upon entering, it's a reception room with a stone table placed by the window.

  Li Hui walked straight through the living room, into the inner house and then into Yuan Huo's immortal mansion. After Li Hui entered Yuan Huo's immortal mansion, only a small, inconspicuous stone was left in its original place.

  This seemingly simple stone house actually has a seal on the door, and without the owner's permission, even the foundation repair monks cannot forcibly break through the seal to enter. So Li Hui is not worried about being discovered by others.

  Inside Yuanchuang Xianfu, in front of the main hall on the square.

  Li Hui stood under the grand hall and looked up at the huge plaque hanging in front of the hall with the words "Yuankai Xianfu" written on it.

  At first, Li Hui entered the Yuankai Xianfu for the first time and casually glanced at the words on the plaque. He was drawn in by the sword intent contained within the characters and entered a fantasy realm, almost unable to extricate himself.

  Afterwards, Li Hui didn't dare to go and watch the plaque again until his swordsmanship had achieved some success, then he went to try and appreciate the sword intent in these characters.

  These few words were left by Yuan Huaozhen, and every stroke contains extremely profound sword intent. If one can fully comprehend the sword intent in these characters, their own swordsmanship will surely make rapid progress.

  However, as Li Hui's swordsmanship improved with each passing day, every time he watched, he had a different feeling.

  Li Hui looked quietly at the characters on the signboard, every stroke and every slash, in his eyes were sword auras crisscrossing.

  Gradually, Li Hui's mind became completely immersed in his comprehension of swordsmanship.

  Every word is a masterpiece, in Li Hui's mind, those strokes are all dynamic, from the beginning to the end, it's like an extraordinary swordsman holding a long sword, practicing his sword skills all the way.

  Every swordsmanship contains countless changes in between, yet ultimately all return to one sword at the end.

  "One sword rises and gives birth to ten thousand swords, ultimately returning to one sword. It is the transformation from simplicity to complexity, and then back from complexity to simplicity!"

  Li Hui imagined himself holding a long sword and practiced the sword moves he had sensed from the characters.

  ……

  "No, that's not right. It should be from top to bottom, from left to right, like this... No, no, it should be horizontal first, then vertical. In swordsmanship, it should be a horizontal slash followed by a downward chop, and then a slanting thrust..."

  One hour passed, two hours passed...... Li Hui was still immersed in his comprehension of the sword technique.

  The sky outside gradually darkened, the moon rose, as if it was hanging in front of Li Hui's window, with half of its body hidden behind the branches and leaves of that ancient pine tree.

  ……

  Li Hui in Yuan Huo Xian Fu, naturally did not know the time change outside, until outside was already deep night, Li Hui just woke up from enlightenment.

  "Haha, I get it! The so-called 'Thirty-six Swords from Simple to Complex' doesn't mean there are thirty-six moves, but rather each move contains thirty-six variations... Similarly, the Seventy-two Swords and One Hundred Eight Swords are also like this!"

  Li Hui suddenly burst out laughing.

  "Clang!"

  Qing Ming sword out of its scabbard, Li Hui was practicing his sword in the square in front of the temple.

  The swordsmanship is not fast, seemingly ordinary and bland in one move, but the next moment, the sword has already stabbed out from another unbelievable angle, without being bound by the change of sword momentum at the time of drawing the sword. However, between the beginning, development, turning, and conclusion, there is no stiffness or awkwardness at all, everything is so natural, as if it should have been like this originally. But everything is also beyond expectation, before the sword is drawn, it is impossible to predict where his next sword will stab...

  Li Hui seemed to have entered a state of profound mystery, practicing his sword moves repeatedly on the bluestone square. Every time he made a move, another one would naturally follow, and at first glance, it seemed as if there was no regular pattern. However, upon closer observation, it could be discovered that every time he practiced, although the starting move was the same, what followed were different variations.

  After several hours, Li Hui finally stopped.

  "Seventy-two swords!" Li Hui looked at the Qingming sword in his hand with joy, "I actually integrated the seventy-two swords from simplicity to complexity! It's too incredible!"

  Li Hui himself was somewhat unbelievable, because he had spent nearly a year under the guidance of Yuan Hua's true man's calligraphy, and only now had thoroughly grasped the true meaning of the thirty-six swords from simplicity to complexity. Immediately afterwards, in just a few hours, he had actually taken advantage of the momentum to thoroughly integrate and comprehend the seventy-two swords from simplicity to complexity.

  What is meant by "enlightenment in an instant" is better than ten years of hard practice. Li Hui was just in such a magical state of "enlightenment".

  After thinking of this, Li Hui came back in front of the grand hall and continued to observe those few big words, wanting to enter that mysterious state once again.

  Half a time later, Li Hui shifted his gaze from the words, and this time he couldn't find that mysterious feeling no matter what.

  Enlightenment is a state that can be encountered but cannot be sought after; otherwise, it would not be called enlightenment.

  Sheathing his sword, Li Hui's body moved and he appeared in the Linshui Pavilion, sitting cross-legged to begin cultivating the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique.
