I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 503 - : 503. Good things come to those who wait.

Chapter 503: 503. Good things come to those who wait.

Lu Yao, taking advantage of his excellent state, decided to take the plunge and strive to break through to the Leak-free Realm in one go.

Although the breakthrough was almost guaranteed, the horrific death of Duan Zhigui due to his collapsing gene chain caused the women to worry inevitably.

They gathered around Lu Yao, reluctant to part with him. Liao Ya bit her lip and said,

“Junior brother, why don’t you take a break? I can dance for you to get you into the best state.”

Lu Yao took a deep sniff of her and laughed, “Senior sister, you’ve already been a great help today. I am in the best state right now, don’t worry.”

Li Pei and Liao Qi were about to say something, but were interrupted by Yu Yanmei,

...

“Stop acting like little daughters, trust Lu Xiaozi’s judgment.”

The Moon Fairy’s eyes, clear and sparkling like precious gemstones, were filled with trust:

“Advancing to the Leak-free Realm relies more on the accumulation of one’s past experiences. Lu Yao has a solid foundation, having reached the world’s pinnacle. There absolutely won’t be a problem. Rather than fretting needlessly, you should encourage him more.”

The sisters nodded in agreement and began to cheer on their man.

Even Su Erya blushed and said in a soft voice, “Uncle Master, you can do it!”

Lu Yao patted the little girl’s head with a hearty laugh and accepted all their support before turning and striding away.

But unexpectedly, Li Pei suddenly chased after him, whispering in his ear:

“Wait…”

Lu Yao’s eyes immediately lit up, his spirits soaring even higher, “It’s a deal then!”

Li Pei smiled and nodded

But once their man had left, a sly look crossed her face.

It seemed like good things never come easy.

~~~~~~~~~~

Breaking through to the Leak-free Realm was no simple matter. It required control over all 720 aperture points throughout the body, opening and closing them all at once, like a myriad of stars twinkling in the sky.

Accomplishing this feat meant that a martial artist’s tempering and control of his body had reached its apex, a state which could be called the “Flesh Realm.”

At that point, the martial artist’s body becomes a realm of its own, with aperture points transforming into a sky full of stars, possessing unbelievable power.

Yu Yanmei took nearly two months to complete her breakthrough. There was no way Lu Yao could do it faster.

Days passed, and the sisters at home kept busy with their own affairs, living a fulfilling life.

Aside from her own relentless training, Liao Ya also devoted much energy to Su Erya, teaching her meticulously and strictly, sticking to a daily regime of massages.

With all kinds of external aids, the young girl progressed rapidly.

At the moment, Liao Ya withdrew her hands from the girl and said with some surprise, “You’re ready to cleanse your spine now!”

Cleansing the spine was the last task in the Marrow-Cleansing Realm; after that was the Blood-Exchange.

And Su Erya was only 14! With such rapid progress, it was very possible that she could go through Blood-Exchange before the age of 15!

Worried that her disciple’s foundation might not be stable, Liao Ya scrutinized her from head to toe to confirm there were no issues, then happily exclaimed,

“Our Erya is a peerless genius~”

“It’s all thanks to the good teachings of Master and Uncle Master~” The girl blushed, looking exceptionally endearing.

Seeing this, even Liao Ya couldn’t resist teasing her, “You’re also a peerless beauty~ I wonder which lucky boy will benefit from that someday.”

Erya’s face turned an even deeper shade of red, looking even more sweet and charming:

“Master is the real beauty. That day, when you were dancing, I was so entranced that I forgot to breathe. But Master, how come you dance even better than that Holy Maiden?”

Liao Ya’s face stiffened. She couldn’t very well admit that she was naturally adept in beguiling arts…

Just as she was struggling to find words, thankfully, Li Pei returned.

“Hey, teaching your disciple, I see~”

She had to return every day to personally use Divine Sense Perception to check on Lu Yao’s condition and ensure his safety before she could rest easy.

Her return now was timely, as Su Erya’s attention had shifted, and she hurriedly stood up to offer a courteous bow, “Auntie Master.”

“Erya is so well-behaved~”

Li Pei watched her with a beaming smile, feeling especially happy as she clearly perceived the strong heartbeat and breath of her man, deepening the smile on her face.

Liao Ya asked, “Is there some good news?”

“Of course, there is~” Li Pei took Liao Ya’s hand and said,

“The news of my husband causing several hundred billion catties of grain to fall from the sky has spread throughout the north and south of the river, causing grain prices to plummet.

The previously hoarding wealthy clans have all suffered great losses and had their power significantly weakened, sparing me countless efforts~

What’s more unexpected is that another great eunuch by The Empress Dowager’s side—Li Jinying, heard about this and actually took the initiative to come over and join us!”

“That’s really something…” Liao Ya said in surprise, “Rumour has it that this person was highly trusted by The Empress Dowager and controlled the Imperial Palace’s secret vault?”

“Exactly, and he brought it all with him, including the complete ‘Tathagata Divine Palm’! I’ll give my husband a nice surprise when he comes out of his retreat~”

Li Pei’s face was alight with excitement. Though treasures like the gold in the secret vault barely mattered to her family, the complete scripture of a rare divine skill was indeed an unexpected delight.

Moreover, Li Jinying was not a man of great wickedness; he had the upper hand during the previous Longevity Feast, yet he still advised kindly and in good spirit. With this in mind, he could certainly be useful.

With joy upon joy coming her way, Li Pei became somewhat over-excited and, wrapping her arms around Liao Ya’s slender waist, she teased,

“I am quite bored in the palace; why not make you a noble consort and let us be merry together~ We don’t need that lecher Lu Yao~”

While speaking, she nuzzled vigorously into the most comfortable and soft part of Liao Ya.

“Ah! Get off, Erya is still here!” Liao Ya struggled to fend off the embrace.

Erya laughed, “The disciple has matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave~”

The young girl dashed away, leaving the two women squished against each other.

~~~~~~~~~~

While Lu Yao was in seclusion, Izumo was not idle either.

Inside the Hiroshima naval shipyard, there was one particularly enormous dock.

The perimeter was closely guarded by heavily armed military police, forbidding anyone from approaching.

However, today a group of visitors had arrived, and the military police immediately snapped to attention and saluted upon seeing them.

Most of the visitors were burly officers, but the one leading them was a short old man with a large beard.

This was the Prime Minister of Izumo—Hirofumi Ito, and he was inspecting a massive battleship on the verge of completion!

One of the officers, bowing and scraping beside him, introduced,

“The ‘Yamato’ is the largest battleship ever constructed by our navy, and is also the largest battleship in the history of naval warfare! The boiler and main engine are already installed, and it is expected to officially launch in two months.”

A world war had supremely elevated the concept of big ships and heavy guns. The calibers of the naval guns were increasing, and so was the displacement of the warships.

The battleship being built by Izumo was about 260 meters long, completely covered in a thick layer of armor, though the positions for the naval guns were still vacant.

Hirofumi Ito spoke solemnly, “What about the naval guns and other mechanical equipment?”

The officer in charge of the construction quickly answered, “They will be jointly manufactured by Einheit and Menes. We have already sent people to negotiate, and they are expected to arrive within a month.”

Large-caliber naval guns required more advanced manufacturing techniques, which only a handful of nations possessed.

Izumo had received a lot of technical support, but was still lacking in this area.

However, countering the newly-established Great Yi Dynasty was a common interest among the great powers, so they likely wouldn’t delay.

Hirofumi Ito let out a small sigh of relief and said, “This is a matter of great concern to the Emperor. Gentlemen! You must guard it as if it were more important than your own lives!”

“Yes, sir!”

The crowd responded loudly and in unison.
