Chapter 766: Chapter 766 Bathing and Changing Clothes [36th Update] Chapter 766: Chapter 766 Bathing and Changing Clothes [36th Update] “No, that’s not right.”

“It should be like this.”

With his eyes tightly closed, Li Qinglong was muttering to himself, his eyebrows furrowed, and the sword moves he executed became even more chaotic.

Li Xiaoyao remained calm and composed, unhurriedly guiding him.

After a long time, Li Qinglong’s sword moves steadied, and Li Xiaoyao also sheathed his sword and stepped back, watching him practice the sword alone on the stage.

“That’s the feeling, exactly like this.” The smile on Li Qinglong’s face became brighter and brighter, and suddenly, he opened his eyes, and at this moment, the clan members and Ancestral Elders below the stage were somewhat shocked.

“Boom!”

...

A sword swung out, exploding suddenly, and the terrifying energy spread in all directions, astonishing everyone.

“Sword Intent!” Li Qinglong stopped, looking at the attack he had just released with some disbelief.

“Congratulations,” Li Xiaoyao walked up slowly and said, “If I’m not mistaken, you must have comprehended the Sword Intent.”

“Thank you.” Li Qinglong was not foolish. He was currently in a clan duel with Li Xiaoyao. Comprehending Sword Intent in such a situation, if the other party had any malicious intentions, they would directly awaken him, ruining this rare state of mind.

Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly, pointed the Ancient Sword towards the sky, and said, “Come, let me see just how strong you are after having comprehended Sword Intent.”

Li Qinglong cracked a smile. He had just been hesitating, wondering whether to simply concede and step down. After all, such an unexpected breakthrough had occurred, and although his strength had greatly increased, it would seem somewhat excessive to take this opportunity to fight with Li Xiaoyao.

But it was different since Li Xiaoyao himself had brought it up.

“Alright!” Li Qinglong attacked first, with a light flick of his sword. A seemingly ordinary sword move contained profound Sword Intent. In this moment, he was the sword, and the sword was him, achieving true unity between the swordsman and his sword.

His Cultivation Level was still at the second layer of the Spirit Condensation Realm, but his whole person’s spirit, vitality, and essence were completely incomparable to that of his past self.

The powerful confidence and the unstoppable sword move made even Li Xiaoyao feel a trace of surprise.

“Indeed powerful.” Smiling lightly, Li Xiaoyao executed the first form of the Sword Control Nine Forms.

“Dragon Slayer!”

With a soft shout, Li Xiaoyao raised his sword high, as if he were the sun and moon in the sky, causing the world to lose its color.

“This lad’s swordsmanship is also so terrifying!” Li Jingjiu found himself increasingly unable to see through Li Xiaoyao.

Beads of sweat appeared on Li Qinglong’s forehead, and the Li Xiaoyao before him was giving him unprecedented pressure.

He had thought that after comprehending Sword Intent, he would at least have the power to fight against Li Xiaoyao.

But he somewhat despairingly discovered that Li Xiaoyao was a beast; the stronger he became, the more powerful Li Xiaoyao was.

“Ding!”

The clear sound of metal clashing rang out, and the force transmitted through the sword blade caused Li Qinglong’s arms to go numb, and his feet kept retreating.

On the other hand, Li Xiaoyao still stood there casually, not even a strand of hair on his forehead out of place.

This gap was so large that it made him feel despair.

“I’m not as good as you.” Shaking his head in self-mockery, Li Qinglong gave a bitter smile.

“You’re already very strong,” Li Xiaoyao said as he sheathed his sword to comfort him.

Li Qinglong shook his head and a look of determination appeared in his eyes: “One day, I will surpass you!”

“I’ll be waiting.” Smiling faintly, Li Xiaoyao turned and walked down the stage.

By this point, the Li Family Clan competition had come to an end.

The top three ranks were respectively Li Xiaoyao, Li Longxiang, and Li Fenghua.

Although the clan competition only awarded the top three ranks, all clan members, Ancestral Elders, and even the Clan Leader were well aware that Li Xiaoyao was the true first place. Even if Li Longxiang and Li Fenghua were to join forces, they would not be able to win against Li Xiaoyao.

It was a bit cruel, but it was an undeniable fact.

Clan Leader Li Zhan stood up to announce the results. Li Qinglong, who should have felt regret, unexpectedly comprehended Sword Intent and, at that moment, didn’t feel as regretful. If he couldn’t go to the forbidden lands this year, he would go the next.

“Xiaoyao, Qinglong, Fenghua,” Li Zhan called out their names, his gaze shifting as he spoke, “The three of you prepare yourselves. You will accompany me to worship our ancestors this afternoon.”

Worship our ancestors?

Shouldn’t they be going to the forbidden lands?

Though they harbored questions, it wasn’t appropriate to voice them at such a time, so for now, they simply responded as was expected.

“Protector Chaotian, I shall trouble you to explain to these three what preparations are necessary for the ancestral worship.”

After Li Zhan and the seven Ancestral Elders left, the called-upon Li Chaotian stepped forward, glanced at the trio, especially lingering on Li Xiaoyao’s face for a while.

“What are you looking at? Is there a flower on my face?” Li Xiaoyao felt uncomfortable being stared at and touched his face as he asked.

“You, young man,” Li Chaotian laughed and said, “You three follow me.”

Li Qinglong and Li Pengcheng obviously wanted to follow as well, but Li Chaotian gave them no leeway, “Don’t crowd around. When it’s your turn to worship our ancestors, I will naturally call you.”

The group of four arrived at a secluded spot, where Li Chaotian explained, “Worshipping our ancestors is an extremely important task before entering the forbidden lands.”

“According to the Li Family ancestral teachings, before worshipping our ancestors, one must bathe for two hours and wear black clothes.”

“Two hours?” Li Xiaoyao twitched the corner of his eye, “Elder Chaotian, are you certain about bathing for two hours? Don’t tell me you really bathed for two hours when you did it?”

Giving him a sideways glance, Li Chaotian said irritably, “These are the ancestral teachings. If you want to enter the forbidden lands, you’d better not be lazy.”

“Then…”

“Don’t interrupt, let me finish.” Li Chaotian raised his hand, harshly suppressing any questions they might have had and continued, “During the ancestral worship, each person must shed blood, hmm… This too is prescribed by the ancestral teachings. Don’t ask me why we must shed blood, I also don’t understand.”

The three of them: “…”

Li Chaotian went on, “During the worship, the Clan Leader and the seven Ancestral Elders will accompany you throughout. Remember, your mindset must be devout, and you must not make any disrespectful actions or remarks towards our ancestors. The Li Family takes this very seriously.”

All three were mentally sound individuals who wouldn’t do such things.

Li Chaotian was well aware of this, but understanding was one thing, his current duty was to repeat all the necessary items of attention to indicate he had made them aware of all considerations.

“Alright, go back and bathe, there will be someone to prepare your bath water.”

The three were somewhat speechless, but having come this far, it would be a pity if they couldn’t persevere through the last bit of red tape.

Besides, it was just a bath. Two hours were just two hours, not that difficult to endure.

Upon returning to their rooms, they were greeted by a huge wooden barrel filled with hot water, on which flower petals were even scattered…

In this era, they still use wooden barrels for bathing?

Li Xiaoyao puffed out his cheeks and said to the girl beside him who was still scattering petals and various unknown herbs, “Stop that, I’m allergic to petals.”

The girl was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, quite young, and tall. Hearing Li Xiaoyao speak to her, her cheeks reddened all at once, her bashful appearance suddenly reminded Li Xiaoyao of Nangong Ling’er.
