Li Meng said proudly, "You're not allowed to tell anyone else!"
"Of course not!" Pang Shiji hurriedly nodded.
Li Meng asked, "Do you know Zhao Dahe from the Holy Church of Light?"
"I've heard of it." Pang Shiji hurriedly replied, "He's the Holy Church of Light's newest prodigy. In just a few years, he's already ascended to the position of Priest. He's an influential figure at the moment. How could he … Could he be Master?"
"That's right." Li Meng smiled and said, "Now you won't be surprised by the friendship between my master and Martial Uncle Chu, right?"
"Zhao Dahe is actually my master!" Pang Shiji sighed with emotion.
Although Zhao Dahe was also a new genius, no one would have thought that he was actually Master Chu Li.
"Your master didn't recognize him?" Pang Shiji asked.
"At that time, Master's Junior Chu was up to no good. He wanted to teach the Holy Church of Light a lesson on behalf of the Ji Dynasty. After that, Master and Master's Junior Chu got to know each other through a fight, and their friendship slowly deepened. That's how things turned out," Li Meng said.
Pang Shiji exclaimed in admiration, "To be able to conceal your identity and ascend to such a high position, Master is indeed amazing."
Li Meng said, "You don't have Martial Uncle Chu's ability."
Pang Shiji shook his head.
Initially, he thought highly of himself, but after learning martial arts from Xiao Qi, he realized that his talent was far inferior to his master's. His master was able to understand the sword technique on his own in a short period of time, but he could not understand it for a long time under the guidance of his master's wife.
The key was not the talent of the body, but the power of comprehension. The difference between them was like heaven and earth. Fortunately, he had a great master, and his comprehension was almost as high as his. As long as he trained hard, he would one day reach a level rarely seen in the world.
Li Meng snorted, "You look stupid, but you're not as strong as Martial Uncle Chu."
She stood in front of Chu Li like a child meeting an adult. Master's Junior Chu Li was only a few years older than her, but he gave her a lot of pressure. However, it was different in front of Pang Shiji. Pang Shiji was tall and strong, even taller than Chu Li, but he did not give her any sense of pressure at all.
Pang Shiji scratched the back of his head and said helplessly, "I'm far behind Master. Master entered the Public House as a scribe and climbed up the ranks step by step. He earned everything by himself, but I'm different."
"What did you just eat?" Li Meng asked.
"I think it's called the Blood Dragon Fruit," Pang Shiji said. "It's a spirit tree that Master meticulously cultivated. It's very precious."
"Blood Dragon Fruit …" Li Meng tilted her head and thought about it. She had never seen this name in the ancient books of the Holy Church of Light. She asked in a daze, "What effects does it have? Increase my power? "
"It seems to strengthen the body, wash the marrow, and then increase the power," Pang Shiji said.
Li Meng said, "I don't feel like I've been reborn either."
Pang Shiji said, "That must be because you've already shaved your hair and cleansed your marrow, so you can't feel it."
"Hmm …" Li Meng nodded slowly.
She recalled the time when Chu Li threw her into the Ice Pond. After she came out of the Ice Pond, her body had undergone an earth-shattering change. It seemed that after experiencing it once, eating the fruit again would not have such an effect.

Chu Li, Xiao Shi, and Xiao Qi sat in their own courtyard. Xue Ling served them tea and left.
"This Young Li Meng is very beautiful." Siao Shi giggled, "Chu Li, what are you planning?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Qi said, "I think Shiji has fallen for her."
Chu Li waved his hand and said, "Don't get involved in this matter. Li Meng is the next Saint, so you can't get involved in a romantic relationship. If Shiji falls in love with her, he'll only suffer."
He regretted allowing the two to meet.
Pang Shiji looked smart, but he was simple and honest, so his reflexes were not sharp enough. On the other hand, Li Meng looked delicate and innocent, but she was extremely intelligent. When the two of them were together, Li Meng would feel that Pang Shiji was slow and clumsy, so she would be anxious when she was with him.
As Sun Mingyue's disciple, Li Meng knew that there were many young talents in the Holy Church of Light. He knew that Li Meng would have very high standards, so it would be difficult for her to fall for Pang Shiji. Pang Shiji was handsome and had a master, but he was useless in Li Meng's eyes.
If Pang Shiji fell for her, he would inevitably be tortured and ask for trouble.
No matter how clever Chu Li was and how powerful the Heavenly Star Insight Skill was, he never expected that Pang Shiji would fall in love with Li Meng at first sight.
Xiao Shi chuckled, "So what if she's a Saint? She just can't get married. "
Xiao Qi said, "A Saint is human too, she has feelings too."
"The entire Holy Church of Light is on our shoulders, and we're always scheming against each other. We don't have time to care about feelings." Chu Li shook his head. "Forget it, both of them will suffer. Shiji doesn't need to suffer."
Xiao Qi nodded. "Let nature take its course."
Chu Li looked at Xiao Shi. "Second Eldest Sister, don't add fuel to the fire!"
"Understood!" Xiao Shi rolled her eyes at him.
Xiao Qi asked, "Now that the Blood Dragon Fruit has ripened, are you going to increase the strength of Crouching Bull Mountain?"
Chu Li nodded. "It's time."
He was eager to condense the Chakram Pagoda and obtain the second half of the Heavenly Star Jade Record as soon as possible. He had a sense of crisis as if a great disaster was about to happen.
He could not explain this feeling, but he believed it. He did not know how to avoid it, but he knew that he had to increase his strength as soon as possible. Not only did he have to increase his strength, but he also had to increase his forces.
Xiao Qi said, "Be careful not to spread this, or else Crouching Bull Mountain will not be safe."
Chu Li nodded.
People were not greedy enough, and Crouching Bull Mountain's current reputation and strength were not enough to deter the heroes. Once the news that there was a mutant fruit that could increase one's strength was spread, they would soon be attacked by others, and there would be a bloodbath.

Crouching Bull Mountain Surpassing Boundary
Chu Li sat on a high platform halfway up the valley and looked at the sixty Grandmasters below.
This high platform was located next to a cave halfway up the mountain wall. It was only two meters square and stood out abruptly. One could not help but admire the wonderful workmanship of nature. To be able to form such a platform on a straight cliff, one could not help but admire the ingenuity of nature.
"Hill Master, why did you summon us here?" Xia Liyan fist saluted.
The sixty Grandmasters stood below the platform and looked up at Chu Li about fifty meters away.
The Hill Master's enthronement ceremony had ended, and as soon as it ended, the Hill Master issued an order for all Grandmasters in Crouching Bull Mountain to return to the surpassing boundary. Crouching Bull Mountain was now empty, and this worried Xia Liyan, Murong Chun, and the other elders.
If Skyward Palace found out about this and took the opportunity to attack, Crouching Bull Mountain would be finished.
Chu Li said calmly, "Qiao San!"
"Yes, Hill Master!" Qiao San appeared from the cave next to him, holding a box in his hand.
Chu Li said, "Distribute it!"
"Yes." Qiao San responded respectfully and glided down the high platform. He opened the box and distributed the fruits to everyone.
Chu Li said, "Eat it immediately after you get it, don't delay!"
"Hill Master …?" Xia Liyan was stunned, and he quickly asked, "What fruit is this?"
Chu Li said, "Are you worried that I'll harm you?"
"Of course not!" Xia Liyan quickly said.
Chu Li said, "It's good for you. Just eat it, and the sooner you eat it, the greater the benefit!"
When Xia Liyan heard this, he immediately took a bite. His expression changed slightly, but he still finished it in one go.
Murong Chun was a little hesitant, but when he saw Xia Liyan's reaction, he also ate it fiercely.
