Chapter 125: Attacking the Tenth Order (2/2)

Li Lu actually possessed another martial spirit other than the Divine Dark Sword. She was just like him, a person with twin martial spirits! Additionally, she was also similar in that both of her martial spirits were of the same kind, a black and a white twin sword!

Huang Xiaolong could tell that the translucent white longsword was much stronger than her Divine Dark Sword. A superb martial spirit?!

Why was it that he did not know that Li Lu had twin martial spirits before this?

“This second martial spirit was awakened when I broke through the Seventh Order. It is called Divine Holy Sword, a top twelve grade martial spirit.” Li Lu explained.

Just awakened!

Huang Xiaolong finally understood.

It was no wonder he didn’t know that Li Lu had twin martial spirits from the beginning.

In the past, when Huang Xiaolong read books about martial spirits in the Cosmic Star Academy’s library, there were situations similar to Li Lu’s. In the Martial Spirit World, children awaken their martial spirits at the age of seven, but there were also cases where the time of awakening martial spirits was slower. Some awakened when the owner broke through the Fourth Order or the Seventh Order.

The later a martial spirit awakens, the stronger it is!

Some of the second martial spirits awakened when the owner broke through the Fourth Order. In these cases, the second martial spirit would be one or two grades higher than the first awakened martial spirit. But since Li Lu awakened the second martial spirit after breaking through to the Seventh Order, her second martial spirit was a top grade-twelve martial spirit! Three grades higher than the Divine Dark Sword!

Of course, situations like Li Lu’s were extremely rare. In the history of Martial Spirit World, such instances could be counted using the fingers on one’s hand.

Observing the twin sword martial spirits behind Li Lu, Huang Xiaolong was happy for her since she had awakened a second martial spirit that was a superb talent top grade-twelve martial spirit. Although her cultivation speed won’t be as horrifying as his, it was still amazing. Stepping into the Xiantian realm was guaranteed.

“Xiaolong, tell me, am I going to die?” Without any indication, Li Lu asked this question.

Huang Xiaolong was startled, but he reassured her as if it was a promise: “Don’t worry, nothing will happen to you.”

Li Lu nodded and then hugged Huang Xiaolong suddenly, saying “I’m very scared that I won’t be able to see you anymore. That in the future, I would never see you again.” Her sobs sounded.

Huang Xiaolong patiently patted her small back and softly consoled her, “It’s alright, everything will pass. Marshal Haotian already found the killer and we will deal with it… Tianxuan Mansion will be your home in the future.”

Li Lu trembled slightly. She looked up at Huang Xiaolong, nodding shyly under the moonlight.

Li Lu left Huang Xiaolong’s yard a while later.

With Li Lu’s silhouette disappearing from view, Huang Xiaolong entered the ancient battlefield, swallowed a Fire Dragon Pearl and began to practice.

Like this, three months passed.

In these three months, Huang Xiaolong stayed behind and practiced in Tianxuan Mansion instead of going into the Silvermoon Forest and had reached peak late-Ninth Order, half a step into the Tenth Order.

These three months passed by in calm tranquility.

Huang Xiaolong advised Li Lu not to stay outside Tianxuan Mansion. Other than going to class in the Cosmic Star Academy, Li Lu would be practicing in the Tianxuan Mansion and only go to the Academy and back, with experts from the Marshal Mansion protecting her. After her second martial spirit awakened, Li Lu’s cultivation speed soared. Within a short three months’ time Li Lu had reached mid-Seventh Order.

The only downside was that Marshal Haotian was unable to pinpoint the killer from his information network. It was as if the person vanished into thin air after killing the entire Li Residence.

There was also the possibility the killer had left the Luo Tong Kingdom.

Although there were no signs of that person in the vicinity, Huang Xiaolong remained vigilant.

Another two months went by.

Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged in the ancient battlefield. The black and blue twin dragons were hovering behind him as they devoured the netherworld spiritual energy that came gushing down from the void above him. The netherworld battle qi inside his meridians and Qi Sea roared and surged.

As Huang Xiaolong persisted in running the Asura Tactics, the netherworld battle qi impacted the barrier again and again, continuously and endlessly bashing against his only obstacle on his way to the Tenth Order. It was significantly much harder than breaking through the Ninth Order barrier. With battle qi continuing to crash against the barrier, the sharp pain that resulted was like having thousands of sharp needles pierce his internal organs all at once, it was nearly unbearable.
