116: Chapter 116 Han Tianxiong's talent improves, breaking through to the Martial General level.

"You… fine, I understand. I will give it to you in a few days."

After his expression flickered for a moment, Li Beixiong quickly calmed down and looked deeply at Li Tianci.

As a Martial Saint who had lived for decades, he naturally knew about the Blood Demon Alliance's Cultivation Technique; he had even obtained one when he was young.

He just hadn't expected his own grandson to choose to walk down this path.

His gaze toward Li Tianci was somewhat complex.

"Yes, thank you, Grandfather!"

A trace of joy flashed in Li Tianci's eyes upon hearing Li Beixiong's words.

He knew that coming to his grandfather was the right choice.

"That's enough, go out! You know this, I know this, and no one else is allowed to speak of it."

Li Beixiong waved his hand helplessly and warned Li Tianci.

"Boom!"

On the other side, in the Jiangbei Han Family, a roar suddenly erupted from a Cultivation room.

An Aura unique to the Martial General Realm soared into the sky.

"This… has Father directly broken through to a Martial General?"

"Yes, and I wonder what level Father's Talent has been raised to?"

Many people were gathered outside the Cultivation room. Feeling the pressure of a Martial General emanating from within, Han Yonghui and the others were filled with excitement.

Two days ago, after Han Ming took out that pool of ten million Spirit Marrow, Han Tianxiong did not keep this massive Opportunity all to himself.

Instead, he divided the Spirit Marrow into eleven portions. Han Lie and the members of the Han Family each received one, including Han Shanshan and Han Cheng, who had not yet begun their Awakening.

Although everyone was very eager, as this was a Heaven And Earth Treasure that could raise one's Talent,

in the end, no one took it and instead suggested that the old man use it all himself.

Everyone already knew about the old man's encounter in the Magic City and hoped he could quickly increase his strength to redeem the humiliation from back then.

Under everyone's insistence, Han Tianxiong finally agreed.

That was how the scene before them came to be.

Han Tianxiong walked out of the Cultivation room. His gray robe fluttered without wind, his eyes shone like lightning, and he looked several years younger than before he went into seclusion.

His Aura was more than a hundred times stronger than before; the ground trembled slightly with every step he took.

"Father, have you broken through?"

Han Yonghui and the others hurried forward, their eyes full of surprise and joy.

"Yes, One-Star Martial General, and my Talent has also been raised from the original D-Rank Talent to an S-grade Talent."

Han Tianxiong nodded. His voice trembled slightly, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He had not expected that after absorbing a pool of Spirit Marrow, not only would he break through to the Martial General Realm, but his Talent would also be raised to an S-grade Talent.

It was truly worthy of being the millennium-old Spirit Marrow liquid that was worth more than ten thousand gold.

With this S-grade Talent and the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, he believed that it wouldn't be long before he could trample Li Beixiong beneath his feet.

"What? Your Talent was directly raised to an S-grade Talent?"

Han Yonghui, Second Uncle Han Yongan, and the others widened their eyes upon hearing this. This news was even more shocking than their father breaking through from a Five-star Martial Ancestor to a One-Star Martial General in just two days.

This was raising one's Talent!

They knew better than anyone how important Talent was to a person's Cultivation.

If not for the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture provided by Han Ming, they would never have dreamed of breaking through to the Martial General Realm with their D-Rank Talent in their lifetime.

Reaching the Martial Ancestor Realm would have been the absolute limit.

And now, the old man had actually raised his Talent to an S-grade Talent in one go?

An S-grade Talent could be considered a Genius within the entire Alliance.

As long as one didn't die, reaching the Martial Saint Realm was a certainty.

And they knew that Han Lie, who possessed the strength of a Martial Venerable, only had an A-Grade Talent.

"Congratulations on your Talent upgrade, Father! Your path of Cultivation will be smooth sailing from now on!"

After the shock, Han Yonghui and the others quickly congratulated Han Tianxiong, a trace of envy flashing in their eyes.

"Alright, go back and Cultivate! In the future, if there are similar Heaven And Earth Treasures, I won't forget you."

Han Tianxiong saw their envy and waved his hand with a smile.

You didn't want it when I offered it before, and now you are envious.

"Master, Bureau Chief Li Baili from the Education Bureau is here to visit."

At this moment, Butler Han Fu trotted in and said respectfully.

"Oh? Quickly, invite him in."

Han Tianxiong did not delay and quickly led everyone toward the reception hall.

They still remembered the favor of Bureau Chief Li Baili standing up for the Han Family earlier.

"Greetings, Patriarch Han. Congratulations on your Breakthrough to the Martial General Realm."

Soon, Butler Han Fu led Bureau Chief Li Baili, who was dressed in formal attire, into the reception hall.

Bureau Chief Li Baili's pupils shrank slightly when he sensed Han Tianxiong's Aura, and he quickly bowed.

His heart, however, was in turmoil.

This… this Han Tianxiong had actually broken through to a One-Star Martial General?

How was that possible?

When he came to visit last month, Han Tianxiong was only a Five-star Martial Ancestor. How long had it been, and he had already broken through to the Martial General Realm?

"Haha… just luck. Bureau Chief Li, please sit. I wonder what important matter brings you here today?"

Han Tianxiong was in a good mood and laughed heartily as he invited Bureau Chief Li Baili to sit.

Bureau Chief Li Baili's mouth twitched.

Luck?

Breaking through six Realms in less than a month, from a Five-star Martial Ancestor to a One-Star Martial General, and you call this luck?

But he didn't ask further; the Han Family's secrets were not something he could pry into.

"Hehe… it's nothing much. I just heard that the Genius who went out from our Jiangbei has returned, so as the Education Bureau Chief of Jiangbei, I ought to come and pay a visit."

Bureau Chief Li Baili smiled embarrassedly and stated his purpose.

"It is only right. That Han Ming can have what he has today is also thanks to the care Bureau Chief Li Baili showed earlier."

Han Tianxiong did not expose his little intentions and asked Butler Han Fu to invite the Young Master over.

Soon, Han Ming walked in with Ji Lingyue.

Bureau Chief Li Baili's pupils shrank violently when he saw Ji Lingyue behind Han Ming.

He could not see through the strength of this young woman, and she vaguely gave him a very dangerous feeling.

He had to remember that he was at the Peak of the Martial Marquis Realm. If she could give him a sense of danger, wouldn't that make her a Martial King?

Only the Magic City Han Family could have such a young Martial King.

"Greetings, Bureau Chief Li."

Han Ming entered the reception hall and bowed slightly to Bureau Chief Li Baili.

He knew that back when he was still weak, Bureau Chief Li Baili had come out to stand up for the Han Family.

Although it was to invest in him early, it had ultimately helped the Han Family.

"Not bad, worthy of being an SS-grade Genius; you are already an 8-Star Martial Ancestor. Are you adapting well at Modu Martial Arts University?"

Bureau Chief Li Baili came to his senses upon hearing this and looked at Han Ming, praising him.

In his view, the woman behind Han Ming must be a protector sent to Han Ming by the Magic City Han Family.

"It's fine. I owe it to Bureau Chief Li Baili's care back then."

"It is only right, and it was my duty."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Han Ming, Han Tianxiong, and the others, Bureau Chief Li Baili stood up to take his leave.

His main purpose was to visit and get acquainted so that the Han Family would remember him in the future.

"Bureau Chief Li, you must have been stuck at the Peak of the Martial Marquis Realm for quite some time, right? This is a Rank 8 Beast King core; it contains five layers of the Will of Metal and should be helpful for your comprehension of True Intent to break through to the Martial King Realm."

Han Ming stood up, took a pale gold, egg-sized core from his space, and handed it to Bureau Chief Li Baili.

He could see that Bureau Chief Li Baili's Physique was inclined toward the Metal element and that he was also practicing a Metal-element Cultivation Technique, so this core was perfect for him.

"This, this is too valuable."

Bureau Chief Li Baili was also excited as he looked at the core in Han Ming's hand.

This was a Rank 8 Beast King core!

It could only be obtained by killing a Beast King at the Martial King Realm, and each one was extremely precious.

There were only a few in the entire Jiangbei Base City.

And it was the Metal-attribute core he needed, making it even more rare.

If he had such a core, he was confident that it wouldn't be long before he could comprehend the Will of Metal and break through to the Martial King Realm.

"Take it! This is nothing at all to our Han Family."

Han Ming did not wait for him to decline and stuffed the core directly into his hand.

"Thank you, Young Master Han. If there is anything you need from me in the future, just ask, and I will never refuse!"

Bureau Chief Li Baili gripped the crystal tightly, feeling the True Intent emanating from within, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He bowed deeply to Han Ming, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

He had not expected that a single sentence from him back then would yield such a generous reward, and that the reward would come so quickly.

"It is time to go see Lin Fan's younger sister, Lin Xiaoyu. I wonder what Realm she has reached in her Cultivation now."

After seeing Bureau Chief Li Baili off, Han Ming walked out of the Han Family with Ji Lingyue.
