The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 11 Li Hao draws his sword
The sword skills that seemed a little unfamiliar yesterday have already shown the charm of a swordsman today.

The posture is precise, the movements are crisp and clear, and there is a sense of dexterity!
Kendo genius!

At this moment, only these four words appeared in Lin Haixia's mind.

You know, how many days has Bian Ruxue learned this sword technique? It would be good if she could get started in half a month.

But now he has become proficient in it, and there is a rare spirituality in his moves. This is the key.

Although he was harsh to the little girl yesterday, it was only because he saw the child's talent in kendo and believed that she would become a strong swordsman in the future, so he was strict and critical.

Unexpectedly, Bian Ruxue's performance today far exceeded his expectations. She is definitely a kendo genius, the kind that is rare in the world!

"good very good."

Lin Haixia laughed and nodded repeatedly. After Bian Ruxue finished practicing, she asked, "Did you practice on your own last night?"

Bian Ruxue immediately thought of Brother Li Hao's guidance, but then she thought of the other party's stern instructions and warnings, so she nodded slightly.

Lin Haixia was not surprised. If she hadn't worked hard last night, she wouldn't have been able to perform like this today.

But it is gratifying that there is such rapid progress after only one night of practice.

"This sword technique is a bit too simple for you. Today I will teach you the best sword technique!"

Lin Haixia said.

The previous ones were only low-grade swordsmanship. He had no right to enter the Li family's Tingyu Tower. He was also not qualified to teach the high-grade swordsmanship, or even the super-grade swordsmanship listed there, to the little girl in front of him on behalf of the Li family.

Unless Li Hao's parents authorize, even the current Li Hao is not qualified.

He is too young to be the head of the family.

"Ah."

Bian Ruxue nodded.

The two, one big and one small, started practicing new sword techniques in the yard.

One teaches and the other learns.

Li Hao took a look at it for a while, felt a little bored, and continued to think about his chess mind.

He held the black and white pieces in his hands, turning them back and forth between his fingertips, stroking them gently, while in his mind he was thinking about the chess records.

Time passes quietly in this courtyard without leaving a trace.

During the day, Li Hao stared at the chessboard in a daze.

In the evening, he would occasionally give some guidance to Bian Ruxue and correct some of her minor faults.

Lin Haixia was pleasantly surprised by Bian Ruxue's rapid progress in swordsmanship.

A few months later, snow fell in the courtyard.

Li Hao stood silently in the crowd, looking at an old man with a sage-like demeanor, who took the eight-year-old Li Wushuang away to practice.

Wu Niang bid farewell with tears in her eyes, and told Shuang'er to eat well, be obedient and sleep well.

Li Hao remembered that when he was still in swaddling clothes, this little girl grabbed her mother's pants and looked at him with her sparkling eyes.

Wu Niang has three children, two girls and one boy, and this is the eldest daughter.

When his bones were measured at the age of five, he was found to have a ninth-level combat physique. The Li family had another genius.

Now, it is said that he has shown a very high talent for cultivation and was recognized by a master who took him as his disciple.

Li Hao had seen this familiar scene two years ago.

At that time, it was Liu Yuerong's child who was taken away by a bald monk who was chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Obviously, that person was from Wuliang Mountain.

Most of the people with extraordinary talents in the Li family will join Dayu's top forces to practice, which is also one of the ways to spread their network among the top forces.

Those with inferior talents, like Er Niang's second son, were only tested at the seventh level of combat physique. Although they are also considered geniuses, they are obviously far behind those geniuses. In the future, they will enter the Tan Palace Academy in Qingzhou City to practice.

Compared to Wu Niang's motherly mood, Li Wushuang's little face showed maturity. Like a little adult, he just nodded calmly and asked his mother to take care of herself and his father to take care of himself.

Then the little girl swept her eyes across the courtyard, looking at everyone.

When passing by Li Hao, he just took a quick glance and had no impression of him anymore.

Among the three generations of children in the mansion, the ones she heard her mother mention the most were only a few who were extremely talented, such as Li Qianfeng, the child of the second mother, who was the target she was pursuing.

She no longer paid attention to the rest.

Immersed in the great vat of martial arts, she has heard everything that her mother, the instructors who taught her martial arts, the servants, etc. have said. Although she is young, she is mentally mature, her eyes are sharp, and she already has the ambition and goal to pursue the highest martial arts.

After bidding farewell to her parents, the little girl left with the Taoist priest as everyone saw her off.

If I see him again, it will probably be when he returns home many years later with fame.

Life returned to normal.

During these quiet times, Li Hao slowly returned to playing chess with himself.

But now, he is not relying on experience, but simply thinking about every game of chess.

He was trying to defeat himself. When he was playing with white pieces, he switched his thinking to the white pieces, and when he was playing with black pieces, he switched back to the black pieces. Although the process was a bit difficult, he felt it was a challenge.

Fighting with yourself is endless fun.

In this world, entertainment is scarce, and Li Hao gradually came to like the feeling of focusing on something, especially when there was the fun of challenge in it.

So the maids would occasionally see the young master startled.

For example, when you are eating quietly, you may suddenly shout, "Oh, that step should have been placed there!"
A look of regret.

Sometimes she would point at the flower bed and ask the maids around her, "Look at that patch of flowers. Do they look like a chessboard?"

Maids: ???

I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all.

But if the young master said yes, then it is.

After all, he is our own young master. What else can we do but go along with him?

When Li Hao was six years old, Lin Haixia found Li Hao and said she wanted to teach him the techniques.

He brought a weapons rack and asked Li Hao to choose weapons from it and practice one by one, just like he had chosen weapons for Bian Ruxue.

It was only because Li Hao's bones were not as good as Bian Ruxue's top combat physique that they decided to postpone it for one year, so as to prevent him from exercising too early and affecting his bone development.

Only then did Li Hao realize that the reason this powerful soldier stayed in the mansion was to teach him techniques.

"Don't I have to practice?" Li Hao was woken up early in the morning. He yawned and just wanted to crawl back into bed.

"Practice the techniques first. In case the coach finds a way to help you open up your meridians in the future, you can start practicing right away without falling behind in the techniques." Lin Haixia said. This was his plan. Practice first and be prepared.

What if I can practice in the future? I can put it to use then.

"What if it doesn't work?" Li Hao asked. "You're just sitting there doing nothing anyway." Lin Haixia said calmly.

Li Hao felt like vomiting blood. What kind of words were these?

It's always better to be idle than to be tired!

But Lin Haixia was obviously determined. No matter how Li Hao tried to persuade her, it was useless. Finally, she turned stern and took out a bamboo stick, starting to beat her if she didn't obey.

Although Li Hao was not afraid of pain, after all, with his current physical body, unless Lin Haixia was really ruthless, it would be just a tickle.

But seeing that the other party was so serious, he had no choice but to avoid the attack for the time being.

Li Hao picked up the weapons and practiced them one by one, just wanting to get it over with. He didn't handle the swords, guns, sticks or clubs very well.

When he got the sword, the little girl was still standing beside him with a look of anticipation, clenching her fist and encouraging him: "Brother Hao, come on!"

Li Hao was speechless. He waved it a few times and finished it.

Lin Haixia's face was gloomy, as if she could see what the little fellow was thinking, and she said, "You didn't pick a weapon that satisfied me today, so you are not allowed to rest, and you are not allowed to touch that damn chessboard again!"

"Uncle Lin!" Li Hao wailed.

"Practice for me!" Lin Haixia gritted her teeth and ignored Li Hao's plea.

Li Hao had no choice but to pick up a knife and start playing with it, but his mind was not on practicing. Although he looked serious, he had no method at all.

Seeing that Li Hao was interested in the knife, Lin Haixia taught him one move at a time, starting with the simplest stance.

Seeing how serious he was, Li Hao didn't dare to practice anymore. If he saw any signs or hope, he would have to encourage himself every day and forget about peace.

Therefore, when Lin Haixia was teaching him, he nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand."

As soon as Dao took over, he started to act confusingly again.

It was as if the hands and feet were saying, fuck you!
After an afternoon, Lin Haixia also wanted to curse.

He hasn't even mastered the lowest level of swordsmanship. It shows that he has no understanding of martial arts at all.

He couldn't help but think of some genius.

Some people are extremely talented in some areas, but know nothing about other areas, or are even worse than ordinary people.

And Li Hao seems to be this type.

It's a pity that his talent was used in the wrong place.

Chess skills... what kind of bullshit is that?!
Lin Haixia even felt resentful. Why would there be someone in the world so bored as to invent such a thing? It's simply damnable!
But after the hatred, he felt sad again. Was it really impossible for him to help the young master?
He hated his own incompetence and wished he could not repay the coach's kindness.

After forcing Li Hao to practice for another half a month, Lin Haixia finally gave up in despair.

He told Li Hao that there had been some recent changes in the war in Yanbei and that he would be leaving soon.

Li Hao looked at the man and knew that he was heartbroken.

During this period of time, when he saw the man's grief, he felt both moved and ashamed.

The other party hated the chessboard and hated himself for his incompetent teaching, but he never hated Li Hao.

"Uncle Lin, do you think that if someone who cannot practice martial arts takes the path of physical training and combines it with skills, can he become a master?"

Sitting in the courtyard, Li Hao looked at the man drinking next to him and asked.

Lin Haixia put the wine aside, thought about it, and said with certainty: "Yes!"

Then he added: "I have seen masters in the army. They have strong physical strength and superb spear skills. They can be considered strong."

He turned to look at Li Hao, but his eyes quickly dimmed: "Young Master, I know you are smart and can endure hardships. If you choose the path of body training, you will definitely be able to handle it, but your comprehension..."

He didn't say anything else, feeling sad. He had had this in mind when he asked Li Hao to practice the technique before.

Li Hao looked at him in surprise and said, "I sleep till noon every day, do you think I can endure the hardship?"

Lin Haixia shook her head slightly, with a bitter smile on her lips: "I've seen you play chess, and I know that you can endure hardships, but you just don't like them."

From Li Hao, he saw the possibility of becoming a top powerhouse.

That is intelligence, character, and hard work.

But the only thing is that he lacks the talent and understanding of martial arts.

These two things are exactly the ticket to martial arts.

How can you expect to have a top-notch seat if you can’t even get in the door?
This also resulted in the fact that the vast amount of cultivation resources in the God General's Mansion were piled up in front of Li Hao, but it was just an empty mountain.

Hearing Lin Haixia's words, Li Hao was slightly surprised. He turned his head to glance at the man and then fell silent again.

The night wind blew, one person continued to drink, while the other stared at the night sky silently. It seemed that a shooting star streaked across the sky. Whose star of general had fallen?
Two months later.

Lin Haixia was leaving and said goodbye to Li Hao formally.

Li Hao was waiting for him in the inner courtyard. The huge courtyard was empty. He asked the servants in the inner courtyard to leave for the outer courtyard, and he was the only one to see them off.

"Uncle Lin, will you feel it's too lonely?" Li Hao asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.

Lin Haixia sighed lightly and said, "I don't care about these empty things. As for you, I'll leave Xue'er to your care. That girl is very talented in swordsmanship and will definitely achieve great success in the future. Treat her well and she will protect you in the future."

At this moment, there was a complex look in his eyes, as well as sighs and relief.

At this point, he has completely given up on Li Hao's martial arts training.

I came to the General's Mansion with great expectations and enthusiasm. I wanted to do my best and use all my efforts to train the commander's youngest son to repay his kindness.

Now, he left with a heart full of regrets and loneliness, and he felt a little sad.

Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Lin, I didn't have anything to give you when we met. Since you are leaving today, I will give you a small gift."

"I don't want any gifts, and I don't have the face to ask for them. You just need to be nice." Lin Haixia felt slightly relieved, but she had no interest in the gift Li Hao mentioned. He had everything he needed.

Li Hao didn't say anything, but slowly walked towards the weapon rack.

Lin Haixia was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

Then, Li Hao slowly pulled out the sword.

"This sword is for Uncle Lin."

"Thank you for your teachings, disciple!"

Li Hao said softly.

Then, the sword rose.

His posture was as graceful as snow, and the sword in his hand flashed like surging waves, flashing countless sword flowers in an instant, which were intricate, exquisite, and gorgeous to the extreme.

The ultimate, boundless sea, tidal swordsmanship!
At this moment, the bright and dazzling sword light illuminated the entire empty inner courtyard.

Similarly, it also shone in Lin Haixia's eyes, making those dark and shrunken pupils appear snow-white and shiny.
