Chapter 51: The Truth, Li Huan's Transformation (Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  "Seventeen years ago, that year was the bloodiest in the martial arts world. The entire martial arts community was in a state of panic as three major forces were completely annihilated, one superpower was crippled, and dozens of large and small factions were expelled from the martial arts world. This incident was known as the 'Ghost Cry Event', which referred to the fact that even ghosts would cry upon witnessing it. It all started with one thing: the young master and mistress of the Xuan Yuan family were ambushed, and their only heir went missing." Feng Tianxiang then recounted the entire story in detail as he knew it.

  "It's actually like this, it's actually like this!" Li Huan was filled with excitement after hearing the news. He didn't expect that for his own sake, the Xuan Yuan family would take such a terrifying revenge. Li Huan was deeply moved by the Xuan Yuan family's actions, and his unease decreased greatly. His goodwill towards the Xuan Yuan family also rose sharply, eliminating the initial resentment he had. Originally, Li Huan still had some complaints, but after learning about this matter, his grievances vanished into thin air.

  It was then that he felt a deep hatred for the Jiuli Witch Clan and Xiao Japan, who had caused him to be so lonely for seventeen years. Thinking about these seventeen years of loneliness, Li Huan's heart suddenly filled with intense hatred towards them, and he secretly vowed to make them pay in blood. He also felt worried about his mother, whom he had never met before, because from Feng Tianxiang's understanding, Li Huan knew that his mother was bedridden with a serious injury that even the Xuan Yuan family couldn't cure. It was unimaginable how severe the injury was. Suddenly, Li Huan had an urge to hurry back and see his loved ones.

  But Li Huan soon suppressed this idea, after all, it was too abrupt, and even if he was in a hurry, there was no need to rush at this moment. He could wait for himself to slowly find opportunities. Although he could use Feng Tianxiang to help himself through the Feng family, that would likely expose his own secrets, which would be very dangerous for him. After all, although the Xuan Yuan clan had eliminated many forces, Li Huan wouldn't think there were no fish left in the net. If those people knew about him, they would definitely be unfavorable to him. His current strength was not bad, but it was still far from that of a true master. This matter had to be carried out secretly, so his current strength was too weak, and his primary goal at present was to improve his own strength.

  "Haozi, what are you thinking about? What's wrong with you?" Feng Tianxiang asked as soon as he saw Li Huan's expression, feeling the intense emotional fluctuation from him just now, and then said with some concern.

  "Uh, nothing, just a bit too excited, didn't expect the strong experts of the Xuan Yuan family to be so numerous and powerful, just a little admiration." Li Huan suddenly lied.

  After listening to Li Huan's words, Feng Tianxiang did not suspect anything either. After all, when he heard it at that time, he was not much better than Li Huan, so of course he chose to believe him. Then the two people talked about some other aspects of the martial arts world and finally felt that the time was not early before returning to their respective rooms.

  Li Huan returned to his room, his heart still reeling from the news he had just received. The revelation about the Ghost Valley Sect was too great for him to calm down. Firstly, it was about the hidden strength of his own sect, which he never knew existed. He also guessed that the reason his grandfather didn't tell him about it back then was probably because he thought Li Huan wouldn't become the successor of the Ghost Valley Sect. After all, according to Feng Tianxiang's words, this seemed to be a super secret of the Ghost Valley Sect. Although they were in a grandparent-grandchild relationship, his grandfather still had to follow the sect rules. But what he didn't expect was that Li Huan would become the successor of the Ghost Valley Sect by chance.

  Li Huan was also full of curiosity about the legendary Ghost Valley Sect's holy land, looking forward to one day being able to personally unravel this mystery, but his current strength was definitely not enough.

  Secondly and most importantly, Li Huan finally understood the truth about what happened back then, uncovering a major mystery that had been surrounding his heart for so long. When he found out that he still had family members who cared about him exceptionally, Li Huan couldn't help but feel an unprecedented warmth in his heart, a feeling of a lonely and helpless person finding home. Li Huan finally couldn't hold back the tears streaming down from his eyes either.

  No one has found out about Li Huan's appearance, so he doesn't care either. He lets the tears fall as he wants to vent his emotions and let out all the pain he has endured over the years, so that his mood will be better.

  More than half an hour later, Li Huan finally calmed down, and his mood also became more comfortable. The gloomy mood that had been accumulated for many years also became somewhat brighter, and the cold expression on his face also decreased unconsciously, instantly adding a touch of sunny atmosphere.

  He immediately thought of his mother's illness, and Li Huan made up his mind to cure his mother. He believed that as long as he mastered the medical skills of the Guigu Xiansheng and the "Huangdi Neijing", he would be able to save his mother. So he decided to temporarily give up studying martial arts techniques and shift his focus to medicine. Anyway, with his current level of cultivation, he had already seen most of the moves, what was left was just waiting for him to integrate and comprehend them, which wasn't something that could be solved by thinking alone.

  For the entire night, Li Huan's mind was immersed in the study of medicine. With his astonishing mental strength, his research on medicine was progressing by leaps and bounds. He believed that at this speed, he would soon be able to elevate his medical skills to a very high level. Moreover, what surprised Li Huan was that without deliberately cultivating, his own cultivation had once again made significant progress, suddenly jumping from the early second turn to the late second turn, spanning two levels. This speed was unbelievable even to Li Huan himself, and at this rate, he would probably reach the heavenly level in no time.

  However, Li Huan also knew that this was impossible. This must be the result of your own mental state improvement. Mental state is a very mysterious thing, and there is no way to improve it, only by natural enlightenment can it work. Li Huan's power had been improved because he had uncovered the knot in his heart for many years, and such an opportunity was absolutely rare and could not be sought after.

  "Huh? Haotian, why do you look different today?" Li Huan said with some surprise as he walked downstairs and saw Feng Tianxiang.

  "Huh? Really? What's different about it, I don't know? Hehe, you're not just imagining things, are you?" Li Huan suddenly laughed.

  "You're still saying you haven't, but tell me, did you used to smile like this before? Although we often joked around when we were together, it wasn't like this. What's changed about you? Ah, yes, it's like you've gained something sunny. You don't seem as cold and arrogant as before, you've become much more sunny! That's it!" Feng Tianxiang said with certainty, then began to size up Li Huan from head to toe. Suddenly, his face revealed an expression of disbelief, "Haozi, your cultivation has broken through again? How come I couldn't sense your cultivation at all, it's like a fog?"

  "Hmm, I had a bit of an epiphany last night, so I accidentally broke through a little. How's that? Am I awesome now? Now I'm considered a master too! Come on, let's go to the arena and let me crush you!" He said with a sudden burst of joking.

  "My god, is this for real? I've been practicing martial arts for so many years to reach my current level, and you've only practiced for a few days but your progress is like taking a plane, it's simply unbelievable. And Hàozi, I'm telling the truth, you really have changed, you never used to joke around with me like this before, looks like you've loosened up a lot, but this is better, this is what a young person should be like, before you gave people the feeling of being an ice block." Fēng Tiān Xiáng first said in an exaggerated tone, then became more serious and spoke to Lǐ Huǎng, as if he was a little adult.

  "Alright, I guess you're right. You sound like a little adult or something. Don't forget that the unfilial son is actually one year younger than me. When he talks, it's surprisingly old-fashioned and arrogant. But maybe what you said is correct, I was indeed a bit cold-blooded before. However, last night I also figured some things out, so my mood has improved quite a bit. Maybe it brought about some changes in me." Li Huan thought for a moment before saying.

  "Ah, definitely, you little brat are really lucky, this state of mind is indeed elusive, and you actually have the opportunity to upgrade. It seems that your luck is not bad at all. And now, you look much more comfortable than before. That stinky face of yours before was really making people want to go up and slap you to death." Feng Tianxiang said with a smile.

  "Huh, is that so? I didn't feel that way, never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry up and go, after we're done with the rehearsal, we can prepare for today's game, and once it starts, let's focus on leveling up quickly, or else others will catch up." Li Huan said, then walked towards the outside.

  Feng Tianxiang watched Li Huan's back from behind, and his face also showed a happy expression. As Li Huan's buddy, seeing Li Huan's transformation was naturally very exciting, and Li Huan was able to gradually walk out of the shadow of his past, which was something he was delighted to see.
