The Small Competition, the most important competition for the disciples of service hall, was the most important competition for the disciples of service hall to be promoted to martial arts hall.

The last time Li Hao clashed with the Eldest Brother in the Servants' Hall because of Chen Feng, it was because the previous Eldest Senior Brother actually took care of Chen Feng at the critical moment when he was about to be promoted to martial arts hall's disciple.

This touched Chen Feng's bottom line, and also touched the most fundamental interests of the disciples of the service hall.

The Small Competition was held ten days before the start of the Large Competition.

As a disciple of an outer court Spirit Grass Hall, logically speaking, he should not have to participate in the Small Competition, but that was not the case, as this was an important matter of the outer court.

As a Spirit Grass Hall, one must also be represented, so as the little junior brother of a Spirit Grass Hall, Li Hao naturally had to accept this job.

Of course, at the same time, they also had to accept possible challenges, such as the one that martial arts hall had issued to Spirit Grass Hall.

It was even the challenge that the service hall issued to Li Hao.

Of course, in order to save time and prevent the trouble that occurred during the Small Competition, the rules of the Small Competition were becoming clearer and clearer.

The entire Small Competition was split into two stages, one was a competition between service hall s to be promoted to martial arts hall, and the other was a competition between martial arts hall s who wanted to enter the Spirit Grass Hall.

In the first stage, Li Hao would be participating in the competition as a spectator, while Li Hao would be participating in the second stage as the representative of the Spirit Grass Hall.

And the method of the competition was to draw lots to decide the opponent.

The time for the Small Competition had long been set, so before Li Hao went into closed door cultivation, he had already informed Spirit Grass Hall.

As a result, Li Hao planned to cultivate and strengthen himself for half a month, allowing his cultivation to be a step closer. At the same time, he planned to adjust his mental state to meet the next challenge.

Because after the Small Competition, the Large Competition was still waiting for him.

The goal of Li Hao's closed door training this time was to thoroughly understand the Wind and Thunder Art!

Pain, the only feeling Li Hao could feel was pain!

Sweat flowed out of his opened pores unceasingly, like flowing lava, and gradually formed streams of water on Li Hao's forehead, face, and body.

The blood vessels on his forehead were constantly pulsating as if they would burst open at any time. His meridians were twisting in his body, and even through his skin, he could feel the unstable energy in his veins.

And around Li Hao, the spirit energy was still churning non-stop, charging into Li Hao's body nonstop.

Li Hao even felt that his entire body was no longer his.

He even wanted to give up, but he clenched his teeth to keep himself awake and continued to slowly move the surging energy within his body.

And every time the spiritual qi was transported through the veins, it was like a knife cutting through the veins one inch at a time.

Li Hao never thought that cultivating the Wind and Thunder Art would be so painful, to the point where he never thought it would be so difficult.

After obtaining the Wind and Thunder Art, Li Hao looked through it once before entering his closed door cultivation.

At first, it went smoothly. However, when he was cultivating the Wind and Thunder Art, his spiritual sense was even sharper, as if it had been enhanced by several times.

After the spiritual energy entered his body, it turned into a stream of cool energy that flowed through his meridians. After circulating for a week, this refreshing energy had already filled all of them.

He then followed his meridians and entered his dantian's aura sea.

It swept towards his dantian like a gust of wind. The energy of the Purple Clouds Divine Thunder began to burst out from the waves of energy, turning into purple lightning that gathered in the air above his dantian's Qi Sea.

As the condensed lightning became more and more concentrated, Li Hao's pain also began to spread.

The thunder and lightning condensed from the Purple Clouds Divine Thunder flashed as a cool gust of wind accompanied it. Suddenly, it started to fall down, as if it had turned into a rain of thunder and lightning in his dantian.

It was as though the end of the world had arrived in his dantian's aura sea. Every time a bolt of lightning landed, his dantian would tremble as well.

Spirit mist surged, and waves after waves of sound rolled in Li Hao's Qi Sea.

Countless amounts of spiritual energy turned into pure spiritual mist which trembled and rushed into his dantian. The spiritual mist churned in his aura sea before returning to his meridians and flowing through them.

This spiritual energy that was produced from his dantian's aura sea had traces of the power of thunder and lightning after it entered his meridians.

This spiritual energy contained Violet Firmament Divine Thunder, which had a strong tearing and destructive power to the meridians.

However, the spiritual energy itself had a powerful regenerative ability.

In particular, the spirit energy absorbed by the Essence Technique had already been continuously purified. In addition, with the astonishing purity of his dantian, it had an incomparable ability to repair and expand his meridians.

The destructive and regenerating conflicting energies coexisted within Li Hao's meridians, which seemed to have turned into a battlefield. In the midst of the struggle for control, the violent conflicts gradually formed a delicate balance.

To think that spiritual energy could heal the damage to one's meridians and lessen the pain in one's body.

The speed at which Li Hao activated the Essence Technique became even faster. Countless spirals of spirit energy appeared around Li Hao, and formed into many thin hisses within the vortexes. These were sounds produced when the spirit energy was being compressed and purified at a high degree.

His pores were wide open, and he was using his greatest strength to receive this spiritual energy into his body.

However, there was a limit to the human meridians, and under Li Hao's guidance, a large amount of spirit energy entered the body.

Although it had been purified, the amount of spiritual energy entering his body became more and more, and waves of aching pain began to spread through his meridians, as if it had reached the limit that his meridians could bear.

Most importantly, although some of these meridians were used to repair and expand, some of them would enter the dantian to be refined into Qi Sea energy and be stored away.

It was then shattered by the thunder and lightning energy in the air above the Qi Sea, which then rushed into his meridians.

In a short period of time, the spiritual energy in his meridians increased tremendously, and the destructive amount of spiritual energy in his dantian also increased.

The tremors on the surface of Li Hao's body became more and more intense, and some drops of blood even began to slowly seep out of his pores.

His meridians began to twist and distort, constantly expanding and expanding.

Li Hao could even feel the tearing sensation coming from his meridians, as well as the swelling and slight wails coming from his meridians.

Li Hao knew that he could no longer continue to absorb spiritual energy.

Because his body had already reached the limit that he could endure.

Li Hao didn't have time to think about what would happen next, and started to slow down the speed of the Essence Technique.

The spiritual energy entering his body suddenly slowed down.

The feeling of being able to make people crumble once again spread throughout his entire body. Li Hao felt that he had entered Hell.

At this moment, his entire robe was drenched in sweat, and his face was twisted along with the sweat that was still pouring down.

His muscles trembled from time to time and his expression told others what kind of pain Li Hao was currently enduring.

The lightning that was formed from the spirit energy in his dantian continued to fall. It seemed that there was no intention of stopping, which meant that this pain would continue.
