Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1042: Chapter 370: Yuzong’s Birthday, Jiangxia’s Fall, Fishing-Hunting Mode and Turning Point (Part 2)

”Yes!”

Xia Yuzong responded almost without thinking, his face full of confidence.

Li Xuanling immediately smiled, reaching out to touch his head.

The answer to this question can actually be seen right now.

This year, Xia Yuzong just turned five, and relying solely on supplementary food, his strength has already increased by more than four thousand pounds. At this pace, he will surely achieve a breakthrough to the Logging Realm before turning six next year.

Both Xia Yuzong and Xia Yuning, the siblings, were born with their own Holy Patterns, so their cultivation talents are undoubtedly high. When they start cultivating next year, their progress will be rapid, there’s no need to even think about it.

The current record for the youngest breakthrough to the Earth-digging Realm in the Great Xia Martial Arts Pavilion is nine years and one month. With Xia Yuzong’s current displayed talent, breaking this record is practically guaranteed.

”Mom, I want to break the record!”

Xia Yusheng seemed to feel a bit ignored, so he spoke up, indicating to his mother that he could break the record too.

Li Xuanling’s expression became somewhat peculiar upon hearing her youngest son’s words.

Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu, the two aunts, instinctively glanced at Xia Yusheng, and their expressions also turned a bit peculiar.

At present, Xia Yusheng’s basic strength is over eight thousand pounds. At this rate, he might break through to the Earth-digging Realm by August next year, placing the record in the Martial Arts Pavilion, which is just too overwhelming.

”Yuzong, let your uncle test you. Why must everyone in Great Xia wait until they turn six to eat beast meat and officially start cultivating?”

Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance of the hall.

”Greetings to the Lord, greetings to the Minister!”

The maids, Han Yue and Han Shuang, turned and bowed towards the entrance upon hearing the voice.

Li Xuanling, as well as Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu, stood up, seeing Xia Hong wave his hand signaling them to sit back down.

”Dad!”

”Father!”

Xia Yuyao and Xia Yusheng both rushed to Xia Hong, the former jumping straight out of their mother’s embrace, the latter hopping down from the chair.

Upon hearing his uncle’s voice, Xia Yuzong also stood up excitedly. But, being slightly older, he carried the responsibility of an elder brother, so he thought about Xia Hong’s question and then clearly replied, ”In response to uncle’s question, according to Xia Li·System Chapter, only when one turns six, the Five Viscera Meridian is fully formed to absorb the powerful energy from beast meat. Using this energy to enhance the physique, hence everyone in Great Xia must be six years old to officially start cultivating.”

Xia Hong had already reached the table, holding his two children. Listening to his nephew’s meticulous response, his face showed satisfaction, and a fleeting gleam passed through his eyes.

Following Xia Hong, Xia Chuan gave Xiao Ning a look of approval, obviously praising how well she taught her son.

”Yuzong answered well. When you can officially practice martial arts next year, I’ll teach you personally as a reward for your correct answer, how about that?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuzong looked at Xia Hong with joy, nodding vigorously.

Although he was only five, he clearly knew that the strongest person in all of Great Xia was his uncle standing before him. Having his uncle personally teach him martial arts was an honor beyond measure, and his friends would surely envy him to death.

”Brother, a child’s martial arts enlightenment at the age of six...”

”Alright, alright, let’s proceed with the banquet, I’m feeling hungry.”

Xia Hong directly interrupted Xia Chuan, calling everyone to start the banquet.

Since Xia Hong and Xia Chuan returned to Wuyuan from December 1st, they hadn’t been back to Xia City. Even this year’s Cold Yuan Banquet was hosted by Li Xuanling, so today’s family banquet was not only for Xia Yuzong’s birthday but also a make-up for the Cold Yuan Festival.

After an array of feasting, the four little ones couldn’t sit still and went off to play in the side hall’s martial field. With only adults remaining at the table, Xia Hong began to inquire about serious matters with Li Xuanling.

”How many soldiers in Cloud Jiao Long Wu have yet to break through to the Cold Resistance Level?”

”Cloud Jiao Army still needs 421, Dragon Martial Army 409.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Hong furrowed his brows initially, then relaxed after a moment of thought.

If he remembered correctly, last time those numbers were 587 and 562 respectively.

In early October, he instructed Xia Chuan to free up cultivation spots in the Martial Arts Pavilion for the soldiers of Cloud Jiao Long Wu who hadn’t yet broken through the Cold Resistance Level. And now it’s January 15th, so in about seventy-plus days of time, reaching a hundred fifty-sixty soldiers breaking through from each army is commendable.

Li Xuanling, perceiving his thoughts, softly said, ”Breaking through the Cold Resistance Level is different from the Earth-digging Realm. Partly due to the suffering of Skin Remodeling, and partly because many soldiers aim for a higher level War Body, so they deliberately hold back their cultivation to break through at the limit. There’s no help for it. Every day, having four to five soldiers break through is already the limit. After observing in the Martial Arts Hall, all eight hundred-plus remaining soldiers will take at least four more months to complete their breakthrough.”

Four months!

Xia Hong’s brows, which had relaxed, furrowed together again.

Even Xia Chuan beside him put down his chopsticks, entering into deep thought.

Seeing their reactions, Li Xuanling immediately sensed something, showing a hint of curiosity on her face, asking, ”Has the situation in Nine Towns changed?”

Clearly, both were dissatisfied with the slow breakthrough speed of the soldiers. Given their consistent presence in Wuyuan, Li Xuanling could easily surmise the reason.

Seeing her curiosity, Xia Hong didn’t plan to conceal, knowing she’d be governing Xia City for a while, and signaled Xia Chuan to explain the situation to Li Xuanling.
