Chapter 263: Moonlight

The next few days were peaceful.

There was no news about the postponed Imperial Garden Competition.

Most of the princes and princesses also became impatient and wanted the competition to start earlier.

The news about the Jade Clear Pool last month finally spread.

Originally, everyone thought that the reward for the competition last month was the honor of bathing in the Jade Clear Pool.

But no one expected that the winning princes and princesses played another game in the Jade Clear Pool.

And it is said that the rewards of the game are very tempting.

So much so that the eldest prince, the fourth prince, the sixth princess and the eighth prince fought again after that day.

It is said that the eighth prince used conspiracy and trickery to defraud the other three princes of their gains, so he was beaten up for justice.

These four princes are still in confinement because of this.

It is said that they are not allowed to go out until the next Imperial Garden Competition.

Somehow, this matter suddenly spread.

The Eighth Prince heard about this at home and was so angry that he screamed.

"You are so vicious, Old Four!"

On the other side, the eldest prince and his three siblings also gathered together to discuss this matter.

"Fourth brother, is it necessary to leak this matter?"

The eldest prince asked.

The Sixth Princess on the side also said worriedly:

"Yes, Fourth Brother."

"Won't this just arouse the fighting spirit of the other families?"

Faced with the questioning of the two, the Fourth Prince was calm and answered calmly:

"It is to make them active."

He then explained: "This month's competition has been delayed for several days. I am afraid it will not be better than before. More importantly, I received some news."

"Oh?"

The eldest prince and the Sixth Princess looked at the Fourth Prince curiously.

They both knew that the Fourth Prince helped their mother contact the outside world, so he was much more informed than them.

The fourth prince did not keep the secret and said directly:

"In the past few days, the imperial guards and the eunuchs in flowery clothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been frequently transferred, and the Ministry of Justice has also taken action."

"If I am right, this month's Imperial Garden Competition may be outside the palace."

The eldest prince frowned.

The sixth princess' eyes lit up and said excitedly:

"Then can we go out of the palace to play?"

...

That night.

Li Xuan suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He felt a palpitation and began to sweat all over.

"What's going on?"

He felt that something was wrong with his body.

At this time, the blood and qi and yin and yang forces in Li Xuan's body were running rapidly, and they were getting faster and faster.

"What is this?"

Li Xuan's eyes lit up and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Is it going to break through?"

The injuries on his body are now almost healed, and the yin and yang forces in his body are constantly merging with him, and have become a part of his body imperceptibly.

Li Xuan looked back at Princess Ankang who was sleeping soundly.

"If you want to break through, you should go outside."

"Don't disturb the little girl's sleep."

Li Xuan got up from the bed and went outside.

At this time, the reaction in his body was getting more and more intense.

"Hiss——"

Li Xuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in discomfort.

"Why is it so uncomfortable this time compared to the previous breakthroughs?"

Li Xuan walked into the yard, looked up and saw that the moon was full tonight, so he jumped onto the eaves, looked up and admired the night sky, waiting for the moment of breakthrough.

He closed his eyes and lay quietly on the eaves, enduring the pain that was constantly raging in his body.

"I felt so comfortable when I broke through the previous few times."

"Why do I have to endure such pain when I reach the marrow training stage?"

Li Xuan felt a little panicked, wondering if there was something wrong with his practice.

He thought about whether he should take advantage of the fact that he could still move now and go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then break through again.

Just when he was about to take action, he suddenly felt a cool breeze from the tip of his tail straight to his forehead.

It felt like his crown had been opened, directly connected to the outside world.

This strange feeling made Li Xuan unable to control his body anymore.

Although his thoughts could still turn, he temporarily lost the ability to control his body.

And his "opened" crown seemed to be connected to the moon in the sky, and a coolness that made the cat feel so comfortable that it almost moaned was poured in, cleansing his body, mind and soul.

"Ah——"

"This feeling..."

Li Xuan's thoughts began to become intermittent, and he could not control the impact of this indescribable pleasure, and gradually lost himself in it.

At this moment, he completely forgot the pain he had endured before, and only felt endless pleasure.

At a certain moment, his soul seemed to float away from his body, and he could clearly see his body arched up.

His round head was raised high, and the focus of his absent-minded eyes was the full moon in the night sky.

Li Xuan saw himself looking up at the moon.

At this time, the exhilaration he felt before suddenly disappeared, and his mind became clear again.

"What on earth is this..."

Before Li Xuan could think about it, the scene in front of him changed again.

This time it became a full moon hanging quietly in the night sky.

Everything around him was very quiet, and tranquility and peace filled his heart.

Various subtle sounds became unusually clear in his ears.

The chirping of insects, the falling of leaves, the flow of water, the breeze...

Li Xuan had the illusion that he had become a god.

Everything that happened in this world seemed to be difficult to escape his awareness.

But this feeling came and went quickly.

Li Xuan blinked blankly, recalling the various complex feelings before.

He looked at everything in front of him, and felt that nothing seemed to have changed, and yet everything seemed to be different.

"Is this the Marrow Training Realm?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but raise a claw in confusion, and slowly ejected the claw blade.

"How strange."

He then shook his head.

Unlike the Blood Coagulation Realm and the Body Strengthening Realm, after breaking through to the Marrow Training Realm, Li Xuan did not clearly feel that he had become stronger.

And the various strange feelings he experienced during the breakthrough made him unforgettable for a long time.

"Are those just now normal?"

"Or..."

It was the first time that Li Xuan's breakthrough was so unsatisfactory.

"No!"

"The breakthrough must have been made."

"Huh?"

Li Xuan had been recalling the special feeling before, and suddenly found that the hair on his front paws was shiny, black and smooth, without any spots.

"My hair has grown back!"

Li Xuan hurried back to the house and found a mirror to look at himself, and immediately burst into tears because of his handsomeness.

"I'm back, I'm back!"

"That handsome cat is back!!!"

In the mirror, a handsome black cat was crying silently.

Even though he was crying, he was still so charming.

Li Xuan shook his head lightly, shaking off the tears from the corners of his eyes, lonely as the wind.

"It seems that I will live a life of being handsome enough to bring disaster to the country and the people again."

"Lonely, lonely."

Li Xuan muttered to himself, and kept looking at himself in the mirror.

After a careful inspection, his fur had indeed grown back, and it was even darker and smoother than before.

Li Xuan touched his fur and couldn't help but fall into intoxication. He couldn't touch it enough.

"So soft, so silky!"

He held his tail and rubbed it on his face, having a lot of fun.

Not only the fur, but also the few injuries left on his body have now recovered as before, and the power in his body is also full.

Li Xuan's condition is better than ever.

"Is this the marrow training realm?"

"I don't think my strength and speed have improved much."

After waking up from his own beauty, Li Xuan went to the yard to stretch his body.

He twisted his body, wagged his tail, and then began to perform various martial arts in the moonlight.

First, the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw. Although this technique is only a basic technique, it is the most convenient for him to use.

Li Xuan's small body quickly moved in the yard of Jingyang Palace, dragging out a series of dark afterimages under the moonlight, and the cold light of the claws flashed in the afterimages.

The situation was like the black night, with stars constantly flashing, which was unpredictable.

What was frightening was that every time there was a flash of starlight, it was a touch of death.

"Interesting, interesting!"

"The moves have become more continuous."

"The pauses when connecting the moves in the past have completely disappeared."

At first, Li Xuan had not yet noticed the mystery of the marrow training realm, but when he moved his body like this, he found the difference from the past.

With the continuous strengthening of his internal organs and bone marrow during this period, his ability to withstand his own strength has become stronger.

As we all know, forces interact with each other.

When Li Xuan makes a move, he will also be driven by his own strength. Whether it is hitting the target or temporarily changing his moves, he needs to withstand a certain amount of force.

With the breakthrough to the marrow training realm, Li Xuan can deal with this force more easily and freely, making his every move seem almost contrary to common sense.

"Good, good, good!"

Li Xuan roared excitedly, and naturally connected a move of dragon and tiger wind roar in the blood-killing tiger claw.

That's not all, his tail and hind legs also followed suit to perform their own martial arts.

The powerful diamond leg, the flying dragon sleeve, and the stone-slinging method.

The connection between different martial arts was very natural, as if the moves were already arranged in this way.

At this time, all parts of Li Xuan's body turned into deadly weapons.

Close, medium, and long, almost all distances can be covered by him, among which the close-range killing is the most terrifying.

At this moment, he is wearing an elegant and cute appearance, performing the most cruel killing moves.

"Roar——"

Li Xuan looked up at the sky and roared at the moon.

He stood up at this moment, and a pair of front paws ejected a long sharp blade, flashing a cold light.

Although he was not big at this time, he looked very slender, with a strong and powerful tail behind him.

"It's done!"

"I have done it!"

"The cultivation of the lower third grade is just like this!"

Li Xuan laughed wantonly, and suddenly a heroic spirit rose up.

Cultivation matters, the earth axis locks the sky gate.

A three-foot sword can be used in and out, and a pill of immortality can be used.

Thank you all for your monthly ticket support.

Oh, the competition was so painful to watch.
