Chapter 538: The 72 Transformations

```

Early in the morning, the sunlight spilled down, golden and splendid.

Beneath the willow tree at the head of the village, Shi Hao sat cross-legged, his body crystal clear. He had sat through the night without tiring, listening to many secrets. His vital energy circulated as if he were in a meditative trance.

"Time to get up and train." Some children ran out, waking up early and very self-disciplined, beginning their exercises facing the dawn's glow at the head of the village.

Shi Hao opened his eyes and smiled upon seeing them, reminded of his own childhood. In those years, they also practiced diligently in the early morning.

As the children practiced, they made faces at him. If Shi Linhu hadn't been supervising them, they would have run over to him long ago.

Shi Hao's heart was peaceful. This simple and plain life was wonderful, but it was an era gone by. He had grown up and had his path to follow, making it difficult to stay in Stone Village often.
