Soon, Li Muxiu landed on the previous fishing platform.

His gaze swept across the area, but there was no trace of Li Hao. His expression changed dramatically as he quickly looked around and immediately saw Li Hao crouching and hiding near a pile of dirt a kilometer away, fishing.

“Really can’t sit still, can he?”

Li Muxiu shook his head slightly and was about to head over when he caught sight of a fish demon with its head smashed in from the corner of his eye.

He was momentarily stunned, then his figure flashed, appearing instantaneously in front of the fish demon.

On closer inspection, he realized the wounds were caused by fierce punches.

Li Muxiu reached out and touched the body of the fish demon, carefully sensing it, and his face changed instantly.

Zhou Tian Realm? And around the third level!

This fish demon… was it killed by that kid?!

A look of surprise flashed across Li Muxiu’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but look towards the distant Li Hao. Without another word, he sprinted a kilometer, and in the blink of an eye, he was by Li Hao’s side.

“Boy!”

The sudden voice startled Li Hao.

He was concentrating intently on the swim bladder, somewhat engrossed, and hadn’t noticed when the old man had come over.

“Shush!”

Li Hao quickly gestured with his hand.

Li Muxiu paused, about to ask a question, but stopped himself as he followed Li Hao’s gaze towards the swim bladder.

He could see through to the bottom of the water, and there a fish demon was circling near the hook, seemingly hesitant.

What surprised Li Muxiu was that the hook was completely covered by bait, extremely well-hidden, and it was impossible to detect that there was a hook inside the bait.

When did he learn this skill of hiding the hook so well?

While Li Muxiu was astonished, the fish demon circling below finally couldn’t help itself. Although it felt uneasy, it couldn’t explain why, and under the temptation of the bait, it heatedly bit down impulsively.

It took the bait!

Li Hao’s eyes lit up as he waited for the swim bladder to sink, then he gave a strong pull.

The hook immediately secured the mouth of the fish demon, and the pain made it struggle, causing waves to churn in the water.

Li Hao was unceremonious, quickly pulling on the line, and utilizing the fish-playing skills he’d learned earlier, he skillfully dragged the fish through the water side to side, wearing out its strength.

A few minutes later, the fish demon was dragged onto the shore by Li Hao, a small demon in the sixth level of the Power Passage Realm.

Seeing how easily Li Hao handled it, Li Muxiu’s eyes flickered, and after Li Hao removed the hook from the fish demon’s mouth and tossed it onto the hillside behind them, Li Muxiu finally said, “That fish demon over there, did you kill it?”

“Hm.”

Li Hao nodded in admission.

There was no one else around, so lying was pointless.

“Do you know what realm that fish demon was in?” Li Muxiu slightly narrowed his eyes, staring deep into Li Hao’s eyes as if trying to see through his soul.

“Zhou Tian Realm?”

Li Hao estimated based on the burst of power from the fish demon in the water earlier.

It was definitely not Power Passage Realm.

“Correct, at least the third level of Zhou Tian Realm!” Li Muxiu looked at Li Hao, “You’ve only practised the Barbaric Bull Strength, probably up to the sixth level of Power Passage Realm at most. Tell me the truth, have you secretly practised anything else?”

Li Hao had already prepared his excuse and seeing Li Muxiu bring it up, he pretended to hesitate before nodding, “That’s right.”

“Which one?”

“The Thousand Jiaos Holy Body from the sixth floor,” Li Hao said.

Li Muxiu raised an eyebrow, what a coincidence? He had been thinking of teaching Li Hao this Body Refinement secret if it turned out he indeed had a talent for it, but to his surprise, the kid had already gone and learned it on his own and seemed to have grasped it quite deeply!

“How far have you gotten with it?” Li Muxiu asked seriously.

“The second layer,” answered Li Hao truthfully.

The second layer was the Jiao Dragon body, which could burst forth the strength of a half-dragon. Even without stepping into the Zhou Tian Realm, it could exert power comparable to the early stages of the Zhou Tian Realm. This could also explain how he had killed that fish demon.

Hearing this, Li Muxiu inwardly took a deep breath, the second layer?

He looked at the child in front of him, not even eight years old yet, and he had already reached the second layer?!

It seemed that Li Fu wasn’t wrong; this kid indeed had a talent for Body Refinement.

“Even with the Jiao Dragon body, hooking that fish demon is quite difficult. This little guy, you not only have a talent for Body Refinement, but also seem very promising in fishing!” Li Muxiu said with a face full of satisfaction and approval.

Li Hao scratched his head and laughed modestly, but inwardly he was scoffing. From the old man’s tone, it felt like his talent for Body Refinement wasn’t as pleasing to him as his potential in fishing.

“They all thought you were a Martial Arts waste. Who would have thought, at such a young age, you’ve already slain a Zhou Tian Realm creature, haha… ”

Li Muxiu burst into joyful laughter. No matter the future limits, at least at this moment, Li Hao’s combat ability was three parts stronger than those supreme talents with nine-grade battle physiques!

Ending his burst of laughter, Li Muxiu thought of something and looked down at Li Hao:

“Speaking of which, Li Fu probably doesn’t know about this, does he? When did you start practicing on your own? Why didn’t you tell him? Don’t you trust him?”

“I started learning when I first entered Listening Rain Tower a few years ago,” Li Hao said with an honest expression, “As for Fu… he never asked me.”

Li Muxiu rolled his eyes. “So if he doesn’t ask, you don’t tell, is that it? No wonder you were able to achieve Great Accomplishment in the Barbaric Bull Strength in just a mere three months. With such a foundation, isn’t practicing it as easy as eating and drinking? Was it your father who told you to keep it a secret?”

After thinking for a moment, Li Hao shook his head slightly.

“So it was your own doing?” Li Muxiu’s eyes narrowed.

Seeing Li Hao’s silence and lack of response, his mind raced through many thoughts, and a chill flashed in his eyes: “Could it be that someone in the residence is coveting you, which is why you’ve kept such a low profile?”
