Chapter 203 Terrifying Perception.

Gao Yue and Hao Xinyuan looked at the young lady sitting before them with a stunned expression. They did not expect her to answer their question like this. However, they could not find any loophole to denounce her either. Gao Yue said, "Your thoughts are correct but they are a bit too straight."

Han Lingshi smiled and picked up a piece of black stone from the box on the side of the chess board. Then she placed the piece and said, "Grandma, a sword that strikes straight at the target is far more terrifying than the knives covered under the smiles. It is not about the damage but the anticipation of the damage that makes the people fear those who wield power."

Gao Yue turned to look at the chess board and found that the game had come to an end. She could not win Han Lingshi. From the starting, the two elders thought that Han Lingshi was desperately trying to defeat Gao Yue and was being pushed back.

The young lady said, "Grandma, while it is true that the attackers only need one chance to kill the prey, the same applies to the prey. If I give up the battered and dingy shield to slash with the sword. I will also need one chance to slay the enemy."

Gao Yue sighed and said, "Indeed it is true, when you have been on the back foot constantly, it will make the enemy to overlook something and put down his guard. That is an apt chance, however, one must never underestimate the enemy."

Han Lingshi replied, "When the weak collide against the strong, they do not underestimate the enemy but they are desperate. The tactic I used has a high chance of failing, however, since I am to sit on the throne, I cannot make any move until I have all the pieces in the places I want them to be."

Gao Yue looked her granddaughter for a prolonged second and she realized that Han Lingshi was no longer the little girl she always had been in the past. This time, Han Lingshi revealed the thought process of a wise Queen. She knew what her strength was and what the enemy was doing.

What surprised Gao Yue was the fact that the young lady learned all this within a day. She looked at Hao Xinyuan and said, "Your turn."

Old Man Hao nodded and he became the opponent of the young girl.

...

On the other side, Hao Ren was sitting on the summit with his legs crossed and eyes closed. There was a layer of snowflakes over his body, and his breath was so shallow that had it not been for the fact that he was a cultivator, he could have been mistaken for a dead body.

Tang Zen was sitting on a boulder not far away, unbothered by the winds and the cold. She was watching her son getting buried under the snow as she mumbled, "Let's see where your limit is."

Hao Ren was comprehending the meaning of the mountain. His thoughts began to reflect in his body as he became one with the mountain. Two days passed in a blink, and suddenly Tang Zen opened her eyes and stood up. She looked at the spot where Hao Ren was sitting and found that the place was totally covered with snow, and only the vague outline of the human body was visible.

She was startled because Hao Ren's presence vanished from her senses, yet after realizing what just happened, she smiled and nodded. She took out a mirror from her space ring and found Old Hao looking at her. The old man asked, "How is he doing?"

Tang Zen nodded and said, "It seems to me that he has managed to perceive the meaning of the mountain. I cannot sense him."

Old Hao nodded and replied, "Lingshi has perceived the heart of chess. Her talent is terrifying."

Tang Zen nodded and looking at the vague outline of a human being and said, "Ren has been stuck in an epiphany for the past two days. His breath has merged with the nature. I could not detect him with my senses."

Hao Xinyuan was visibly shocked, and asked, "Do you mean to say that he really comprehended a true meaning?"

Tang Zen nodded and said, "That is my guess, and even if he has not comprehended the true meaning of the mountain, he has at least touched the surface. It is guaranteed that he would reach the Dao Integration Realm at least. He would be able to hold his own end in the world."

Hao Xinyuan nodded and said, "We are blessed to have such talented children but thinking of the arduous path filled with struggle that lays ahead, sometimes I wish they could just have been normal and taught us to let go of our obsessions."

Tang Zen nodded slowly, but suddenly she looked at the summit and said, "I will go now, he is about to wake up."

The connection was disconnected, and Tang Zen looked up. The wind current had changed the direction and it was now spinning around Hao Ren, Tang Zen flickered from her position, appeared next to Hao Ren, and cast a layer of spiritual energy around him. She did this to prevent the vortex to spread around with the young man as a center and alert the people from the DEHB.

Although the higher ups of the DEHB were not all big shots, and she was capable of erasing their existence. She did not want to alert the people who were handling these forces, the big shots in the spirit shimmer continent, because she was not a match for them yet.

The vortex shifted slightly, and above Hao Ren's head, a vortex appeared. Tang Zen sensed the vortex to absorb the spiritual energy from the surroundings and funnel it all in Hao Ren's body. As the old lady was surprised, Hao Ren was sitting calmly as the snow on his body was sent flying.

Inside his soul sea, the spiritual energy was working like an ink. The thick and pure energy was moving at a fast speed and condensing into a rune character which spelled, mountain. This was not all, on the other side, another rune was forming which spelled, wind.

Yes, Hao Ren had comprehended the true meaning of the winds and mountain. In the future his physical defense and speed will but increase. If he uses a long distance weapon like a bow, his accuracy would increase as well. His physical attacks would have the momentum of a mountain behind them. The intimidation would also become a passive skill.

As he cultivates more, the impact would become better. Tang Zen gulped a mouthful and said, "What a terrible perception do these two youngsters have. I wonder if Ren would create chaos in the spirit shimmer when he moves there."

Another day passed and Tang Zen looked forward to what the youth would achieve. At the break of dawn, the sun for the first time in ages peeked through the clouds and lit up this part of the world.

As the sunlight fell on Hao Ren's visage, the young man opened his eyes which appeared to be calm and serene, but they gave off such a pressure that even surprised Tang Zen for a second. She nodded and asked, "Are you ready for the next round?"

Hao Ren nodded and replied, "After some food."
