Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

When did Zhao Bao become Li Dafu's adopted son?

It makes no sense at all!

Zhao Bao is just a ninth-rank martial artist, what qualities does he possess to catch Li Dafu's eye?

But the truth is the truth.

Li Dafu smiled slightly, reached out and gently patted Zhao Bao's head, as if patting a dog:

"Zhao Bao, don't worry."

"With your godfather here today, no one can touch you."

"And…"

Li Dafu changed his tone, and a sinister murderous intent began to emerge:

"You can do whatever you want here, and I will take care of it for you."

Ma Shengui and a group of eunuchs turned deathly pale upon hearing this, and couldn't stop shivering.

They were too insignificant.

Ma Shengui and the others kowtowed desperately, begging for mercy.

But Li Dafu didn't even look at them, just stared at Zhao Bao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Obviously, his attitude was to let Zhao Bao decide.

Upon seeing this, Ma Shengui and the group of eunuchs, although unwilling, still turned to kowtow to Zhao Bao:

"Zhao Bao, I was wrong before, please say a good word to Eunuch Li and spare my dog's life!"

"Grandpa Zhao, Ancestor Zhao, we are just farts, please let us go!"

"Zhao Bao, we used to bully you because we had no choice, I kowtow to you, please don't kill us!"

…

Begging for mercy rose and fell.

At this moment, Zhao Bao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This is the feeling of power.

This is the feeling of being able to control life and death.

This is the feeling of being able to tear these people who humiliated him into pieces with just a thought!

This feeling… is so good!

This was the first time in his life that he had such a wonderful experience.

It even made Zhao Bao feel dazed and intoxicated, and he almost couldn't help but want his godfather to kill all these beasts!

But after a moment of distraction, Zhao Bao quickly regained his composure.

The humiliation he had suffered over the years had taught him many lessons.

So Zhao Bao respectfully replied:

"If I were to use godfather's hand to kill these people, wouldn't it make me seem too useless? It would also ruin godfather's good name as a kind person."

"I also want to become a useful person to godfather and repay his kindness."

"Please, godfather, let them go. I will personally take revenge for my grudges after I have the ability."

Li Dafu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

He said meaningfully:

"To endure in order to act, will lead to achievement."

"You seem promising now, but whether you can become a talent in the future depends on your own fortune."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Zongwu Mansion to report."

With that, Li Dafu waved his hand, and led a group of eunuchs from the Zongwu Mansion to turn around and leave.

Zhao Bao took one last look at this place where he had been bullied, and at Ma Shengui and the people who had abused him.

He saw the deep fear in their eyes.

Zhao Bao knew that these people would be worried and uneasy every day from now on.

This kind of torment is just the beginning.

When Zhao Bao climbs up one day, it will be the end of these people!

He no longer had any attachment to this place, turned around and left, quickly following Li Dafu.

With Li Dafu around, Zhao Bao also entered the Zongwu Mansion very smoothly.

Afterward.

Li Dafu called Zhao Bao into the room and told him some things about the Zongwu Mansion.

Entering the Zongwu Mansion does not mean that you will soar into the sky from now on.

On the contrary, you will face more tests.

The main tasks in the Zongwu Mansion are to improve martial arts and receive training.

Improving martial arts depends on individual diligence and talent.

Receiving training is to cultivate a person's perseverance, endurance, and obedience.

And these trainings are often very cruel, and deaths are common.

Especially in the annual exam a year later, if you are still a ninth-rank martial artist, you will definitely not be able to walk out of the martial arts field alive.

Zhao Bao kept all this in mind and roughly understood the situation of the Zongwu Mansion.

Finally, Li Dafu sighed:

"I have had one hundred and eighty adopted sons at most, and one hundred and ten of them have entered this Zongwu Mansion."

"But in the end, only seventy of them left the Zongwu Mansion alive and became talents."

"Forty of my adopted sons either died in training, or died in internal competitions, or died in the big exam."

"So don't think that you can be treated favorably in the Zongwu Mansion just because you are my adopted son. I am not a nepotistic and self-serving person."

"To forge iron, you need to be strong yourself. Zhao Bao, do you understand?"

Zhao Bao hurriedly responded.

But he was also shocked in his heart.

He really didn't expect the mortality rate of the Zongwu Mansion to be so high.

But he quickly regained his composure.

He had suffered so much for today.

He would desperately continue on this path in the future!

Li Dafu nodded slightly when he saw that Zhao Bao was not frightened.

Then he waved his hand suddenly.

"Whoosh!"

A strong wind was generated in the room, and the doors and windows were instantly closed.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed.

Even the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin seemed to shrink in fear.

Li Dafu stared at Zhao Bao and suddenly asked:

"Besides you, has anyone else seen the 'Bone-Melting Palm' that you paid tribute to me?"

It turned out that it was because Zhao Bao presented a treasure to Li Dafu, offering the secret manual of the 'Bone-Melting Palm', which pleased Li Dafu.

Therefore, Li Dafu accepted Zhao Bao as his adopted son.

Zhao Bao's heart tightened after hearing the question.

He didn't know whether he should deceive Li Dafu.

But he vaguely felt that this matter might be unfavorable to Liang Jin.

So Zhao Bao answered seriously:

"This is a secret manual passed down from my ancestors, and now my family members have all passed away."

"In this world, no third person knows about it."

Li Dafu stared at Zhao Bao for a while, but didn't see any problems.

So he gently tapped the table and said:

"It seems that you little brat didn't lie to me. I have read all the martial arts in the world, but this is the first time I have heard of the 'Bone-Melting Palm'."

"The 'Bone-Melting Palm' is really a rare treasure, the top grade among the Mysterious-level secret manuals!"

"The most rare thing is that it is very compatible with my internal energy."

"It's rare that you have this filial piety, so I will give you another piece of advice."

Speaking of this, Li Dafu's tone became gloomy.

The look in his eyes towards Zhao Bao also became sinister:

"No one in this palace can be trusted, and it is because I am a well-known kind person, otherwise where would you still have a way to survive?"

Zhao Bao was shocked upon hearing this.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground:

"Godfather, I don't understand!"

Li Dafu explained coldly:

"All martial artists in the world hope that the martial arts they practice are unique."

"If others see their martial arts secret manuals, they will be able to see the truth of their moves, and even the flaws in their martial arts."

"So you were lucky to offer the treasure to me. If you had offered it to other eunuchs in the palace, then I'm afraid your little life would not be guaranteed now, and you would have been silenced long ago!"
