Chapter 28: Practice A Bit
Su Hao learned for the first time how strong an elite warrior was. A small brush with it made him shiver.
Now Su Hao also understood why he saw so many warriors wearing armor. Elite warriors were a bunch of warriors with high attack and low defense.
Su Hao put away the knife and discovered the knife wasn’t marked at all with the dust from the stone. He couldn’t help but think: “After the knife had elite blood qi added to it, it had such strong attack power. This kind of attack power was no longer originating from the knife itself, but rather elite blood qi. Elite blood qi was also a kind of energy. Once it left the control of consciousness, it revealed its violent side. The knife’s edge helped direct the elite blood qi. Then what if he directly used his hands?
Su Hao put the knife into its sheathe, gathered the elite blood qi to his fist, and punched the ground.
“Bang!”
The ground suddenly had a big sinkhole. He hadn’t even used any strength.
Su Hao’s fist was numbed from the shock. Raising his fist to look, his fist was a bit red: “The moment my fist struck the ground, the elite blood qi went out from my fist and exploded with such power, shattering the ground. The recoil was offset by the remaining blood qi in my fist so my fist didn’t receive injuries but was numbed by the shock.”
After all this was flesh and blood. Compared to steel, it was truly fragile.
Su Hao tested a while longer before he planned to get up and leave. He tested the results for a few other things. Just as he stood up, he discovered his entire body was out of energy, weak.
After feeling it a bit, only then did he discover that his muscles were emptied, that he recognized the common blood qi had been completely transformed into elite blood qi.
Su Hao was speechless: “The two blood qi can’t be used interchangeably?”
Through careful research, Su Hao discovered the relationship between common blood qi and elite blood qi.
After common successfully became elite, the combat method underwent changes. Attacks basically all relied on elite blood qi, and common blood qi uses could almost be ignored.
Common blood qi only had two uses. One was to preserve normal exercise, the other was to transform into elite blood qi.
Next, he understood what he wanted to do: Replenish common blood qi quickly, then transform it into elite blood qi energy, repeating this cycle until he reached his body’s limits.
A month later, Su Hao successfully filled his status. The elite blood qi in his body reached a very exaggerated level, the nine special positions in his body had already been filled to the brim with elite blood qi.
Su Hao went to find Wu Yuntian and told him the news that he had already fully transformed common blood qi into elite blood qi.
After many years of practice, Wu Yuntian’s heart’s tolerance had greatly increased. He didn’t reveal any obvious shock. After all, it was his son. Monstrous deeds were normal. Things people took three years to accomplish, he had only spent a year. So what? It’s normal.
Wu Yuntian calmly nodded: “Then you should get used to it first and fully grasp all the features of elite blood qi.
You don’t need to hurry. Common blood qi converting to elite blood qi has a low efficiency. Like water grinding the mill, it needs a lot of time. Once you’ve filled your nine palaces with elite blood qi, then you’ll have reached the peak. At that time you can be considered a high-level elite warrior.”
Su Hao said in astonishment: “But father, I already filled the nine palaces!”
Wu Yuntian didn’t seem to hear clearly and asked him to repeat: “What?”
Su Hao said more loudly this time: “I’ve already filled the nine palaces. Right now, I can continue to convert elite blood qi. So am I considered a high-level elite warrior?”
Wu Yuntian was completely blank.
“You said you’ve filled your blood qi? You’re not joking?”
“When have I ever joked with you? Father, did I practice wrong?” Seeing Wu Yuntian’s expression, Su Hao was a little perturbed.
Wu Yuntian took a deep breath and worked hard to calm his inner turmoil, continually telling himself: “Normal. It’s natural. There’s no problem!”
Then he said to Su Hao: “You didn’t practice wrong!”
After Wu Yuntian explained, Su Hao then realized his method of using the blood qi enhancement function and the centrifugal force was highly unusual.
A normal person had low efficiency when creating common blood qi, and needed a lot of time and effort, it was very difficult. Converting common blood qi to elite blood qi was even more inefficient. After so much effort to accumulate common blood qi, you had to convert it for only a small amount of elite blood qi, then you had to go back and spend a lot of effort and time to get ordinary blood qi again.
Therefore, it took ordinary people a long time to accumulate a lot of elite blood qi.
Su Hao was a special existence that never had to worry about a lack of common blood qi. If common blood qi was low, he’d eat a big meal, set up the blood qi enhancement function, and it would be filled back up in no time.
Then a large amount of common blood qi would be stacked together, spun at high speeds, and the powerful centrifugal force would soon convert the common blood qi to elite blood qi. A complete cycle didn’t even take a full day.
Through Wu Yuntian’s description, Su Hao discovered that his speed truly was a bit fast.
“But knowledge is power. Who made me good at math, physics, and chemistry?”
……
“Father, what’s my current strength at?” Once Su Hao had understood his cultivation state, he curiously asked.
Wu Yuntian thought a bit and started to walk out: “Come with me. If we practice, we’ll know.”
Su Hao was stunned. Practice? With Wu Yuntian?
Su Hao quickly recovered and immediately followed. Although he didn’t have much self-confidence, he was filled with excitement.
“It seems… I haven’t actually fought with anyone yet!”
Su Hao followed Wu Yuntian through the village and they found an empty space. The two faced each other.
Putting down their armor and weapons, they casually stood facing each other. To a stranger, they might assume they were just going to have a chat.
At this time, sunlight hung on the distance treetops, making their shadows look long.
The two began to hold their breath.
Suddenly Su Hao moved his feet, blood qi poured into his legs, his figure flashed as it approached Wu Yuntian with unstoppable momentum.
This was the combat skill “Collision” that Wu Yuntian taught him. But Su Hao hadn’t started at full power but had left most of his strength so he could react to changes.
His height was still less than 1.5m. Compared to Wu Yuntian’s 2m height, he obviously wouldn’t have the advantage when using the collision combat skill. It was just for getting started and gaining momentum. What he was better at was once the opponent moved, quickly finding a weak point and defeating the enemy in a single strike.
Wu Yuntian was very familiar with Su Hao. He seemed to be clear on Su Hao’s intentions, but didn’t pay it any mind. He stretched back his right food and kicked out violently.
Su Hao’s speed didn’t decrease. Seeing that he was about to crash into Wu Yuntian’s incoming kick, he suddenly leaned back and slid, avoiding the incoming kick. His hands were placed behind his head, his body was like a spring, his feet bounced up, kicking at Wu Yuntian’s lower jaw.
This time it was quick and hurried. Su Hao himself hadn’t been able to grasp the suddenness of the attack.
However, Wu Yuntian’s fighting experience was very rich. He had long since passed the stage of relying on consciousness to fight, entirely relying on the body’s reactions.
His head tilted back, making Su Hao’s attack land in the air.
Then the elbows leaned forward.
“Bang!”
Still in mid-air, Su Hao was sent flying by Wu Yuntian’s elbow attack.
Su Hao slightly adjusted his center of gravity while in mid-air and landed on the ground. He rubbed his butt. Just now, that attack had precisely landed on his butt, specifically a more cushioned part had absorbed most of the impact, but it still was painful.
Su Hao discovered as long as he only attached blood qi to the attacked part, he could offset the opponent’s elite qi attack. It was basically like a powerful defensive ability.
But the impact force generated by hitting with a fist required a physical defense.
Now that he understood the key point, Su Hao relaxed. Facing Wu Yuntian, he didn’t seem to be afraid at all.
As long as he casually splurged with his elite blood qi, he didn’t need to worry about Wu Yuntian’s elite blood qi-infused attacks. After his body experienced the “Muscle Strengthening Function” over a long period of time, it was very resistant to beatings.
That was to say, fighting an experienced warrior like Wu Yuntian, who he could never beat, he could still do close combat.
He wasn’t afraid of close combat at all!
