Just then, a young man in a standard Demon Slayer Commandant uniform suddenly came from behind, ran quickly to Old Lady Feng, bowed his head, cupped his hands, and said loudly:
"Reporting to Lord Military Governor, Heavenly Rank Commandant Li Hai, Lord Li Hai, has now arrived at the branch entrance at the foot of the mountain!"
"Hahahaha."
Old Lady Feng looked at the young commandant kindly and said with a smile, "You've worked hard, Little Yu. I've already seen him."
After speaking, she slowly turned around with her dragon-head staff and looked at the three Heavenly Rank Commandants and the other Long Rank Commandants, saying gently:
"Let's go, we'll go down the mountain together to the branch entrance to welcome him."
"Godmother, wait a moment."
Meng Su suddenly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your son has something to say."
"Oh, Su'er."
Feng Heyue looked at him, "What is it?"
"Godmother."
Meng Su said sincerely, "Your son believes that although Lieutenant Li's talent is unparalleled and rarely seen in the world, making him an extraordinary talent,
even if you value him highly, it would be inappropriate for you to personally go and meet him.
After all, you are the Commander of the Army who leads the entire Demon Slayer Division. By rights, Lieutenant Li should come here to pay respects to you.
This is the proper principle of hierarchy."
The other two Heavenly Rank Commandants, Ming Yingjie and Luo Qianqiu, exchanged glances, then both stepped forward and cupped their hands to Feng Heyue, saying:
"Godmother, Brother Meng is right. You are both an elder and a superior. It is only fitting, both emotionally and logically, that Li Hai should come to see you, in accordance with the principles of proper conduct."
After they finished speaking, Meng Su added, "Godmother, Lieutenant Li comes from a barbaric place like Shilong Mountain, so he must not be skilled in etiquette and manners. If you want to teach him these things in the future, it's better to teach him from the beginning."
"Brother Meng is right."
Ming Yingjie chimed in again, "Godmother, your son thinks it's best to start teaching manners right now."
"Yes, Godmother."
Luo Qianqiu interjected, "Otherwise, with talent but no manners, wouldn't he become a barbarian? And how could a barbarian take over your position?"
"Oh, alright, alright, I won't go then, alright?"
Feng Heyue waved her hand helplessly, "Then one of you step forward and bring Lieutenant Li over."
"Godmother." Ming Yingjie stepped forward and said with a smile, "Let me go."
"Good, if you go, you go."
Feng Heyue nodded, then added, "But you must not play any tricks to intimidate him, I can see everything from back here."
"Hahaha, you can rest assured."
Ming Yingjie said with a smile, "Your son just wants to personally witness the demeanor of this Genius youth, Lieutenant Li. Alright, Godmother, please wait here quietly. I'll be back shortly."
After speaking, he turned and walked along the corridor.
Outside the continuous complex of buildings at the foot of the mountain, Li Hai stood with his hands behind his back, leisurely observing his surroundings.
After some observation, he found that although the surrounding area was mostly desolate mountains, the Heaven and Earth Qi was still clear and rich, far surpassing any place in the Shilong Mountain region.
Hmph, no wonder Great Jing didn't occupy an inch of that large area in the Shilong Mountain region; they simply looked down on it.
Just then, Li Hai's gaze shifted, and he stared fixedly at the thick metal gate in front of him.
His Spiritual Focus penetrated through this gate, and he remotely 'saw' through the entire building complex in front of him, 'seeing' the unfamiliar Martial Dao Grandmaster who was flying down from the towering mountain Peak above.
And the moment he 'saw' this person, the opponent's personal interface information naturally revealed itself completely before Li Hai's eyes.
Character Name: Unknown Rank Level: Zhengchuan Martial Arts → Void-Reality Grandmaster, Qimen Arts → Object Manifestation, Bloodline Divine Power → High Grade Skills Possessed: "Seeking Ghosts and Tracking Monsters", "Nine Profound Yang Breath Absorption Method", "Shangyuan Spirit Suppression Talisman", "Ganhuo True Scripture", "Blazing Dragon Divine Claw", "Blazing Immortal Saint Body", "Crimson Dragon Reversion Technique", "Shimmering Shadow Evasion Art", "Meteorite Grand Seal"

【Yin Absorption Level 4】 【Spiritual Focus Level 4】 【Stone Heart Level 4】 【Magic Power Level 4】 【Flame Level 4】 【Illusion Level 4】 【Technique Level 4】 【Exorcism Level 4】 【Wrath Level 4】 【Etherealization Level 4】

"Good, very good."
Li Hai smiled with satisfaction, "To actually possess two High Grade Grandmaster-level Cultivation Techniques, and two top-tier Fourth Realm Arts, besides that, there's even a High Grade Divine Ability, and it's an offensive Divine Ability.
This trip was worth it; it's practically like a gift upon meeting. However, this person's identity must not be simple, otherwise, he wouldn't have so many powerful skills."
The Cultivation Techniques, Arts, and Divine Abilities he spoke of were "Ganhuo True Scripture," "Blazing Dragon Divine Claw," "Crimson Dragon Reversion Technique," "Meteorite Grand Seal," and "Blazing Immortal Saint Body."
The first two are both related to fire and are quite similar to Gai Fu's "Thunder Fire Overlord Seal." They can generate high-temperature flames capable of evaporating steel while also possessing exorcism properties, yet the Cultivator themselves will not suffer from the scorching flames.
The latter two are both magical Arts that use magic power to materialize physical objects to attack enemies.
"Crimson Dragon" can materialize a vivid, hundred-zhang fire Dragon, with an extremely wide attack range, and can even travel thousands of miles to pursue enemies with just a simple command from the Cultivator.
"Meteorite" can remotely materialize a nearly solid meteorite that falls from tens of thousands of feet or even higher in the sky, smashing down to destroy cities and fortresses. However, the magic power consumption is extremely large, making it difficult to use frequently.
And the 【Illusion Level 4】 trait attribute in that unfamiliar Grandmaster's personal interface was brought about by these two Arts.
Finally, the "Blazing Immortal Saint Body" is partially similar to the pirate king Luffy's Flame-Flame Fruit, meaning that in addition to being able to ignite terrifying, Hell-like flames, it can also partially transform the body into flames, making it half an immortal body.
The opponent's 【Etherealization Level 4】 trait is related to this Divine Ability.
Immediately, Li Hai, with a single thought, learned all these Cultivation Techniques and skills and pushed them all to their Peak.
Thus, his Realm and cultivation instantly advanced to the Grandmaster High Realm.
His physique and strength also surged simultaneously, increasing from two hundred million catties to two billion catties.
And the range of his remote force projection also dramatically increased from two thousand zhang to four thousand zhang.
At this very moment, Ming Yingjie, who was flying down, swiftly landed in front of Li Hai.
And after landing, Ming Yingjie seemed to have completely forgotten Feng Heyue's words.
He sneered and suddenly unleashed a Martial Dao aura of a High Realm Grandmaster, sweeping towards Li Hai like an overwhelming tide.
"Good timing!"
But just then, Li Hai also laughed heartily and unleashed a Martial Dao aura that was no less powerful than Ming Yingjie's, striking him with a preemptive blow.
"What?!"
Ming Yingjie's face drastically changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You were only at the Grandmaster Initial Realm, how did you suddenly advance to the Grandmaster High Realm?!"
