NIP Chapter 8 Awareness
Chapter 8 Awareness
More than a week later, in the training room.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A sandbag was hit so hard it swayed from side to side.
Lu Hao, on the other hand, regarded the sandbag opposite him as an enemy and punched it repeatedly.
"Okay, that's all for today."
Hearing Li Siyuan say this, Lu Hao stopped and wiped the sweat from his head with a towel.
"Xiao Lu has made great progress these past few days, incredibly fast! He's almost mastered the basic leg techniques and fist techniques, and he can start practicing basic sword techniques tomorrow."
"Thanks to Teacher Li's guidance, I don't know when I would have been able to hone my combat tactics to this level without him."
"Xiao Lu, this is your own talent, it has little to do with me. Even if you changed teachers, it would be the same."
After instructing Lu Hao on how to exert force, Li Siyuan left.
After practicing his boxing techniques for a few more moments, Lu Hao went to the washroom to take a shower.
Lu Hao opened the panel
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 157/199 calories+]
[Mental Strength: 231/279 Hz+]
Storage space: 1 cubic meters
Kill Points: 1175
Over the past week, Lu Hao not only learned basic leg and fist techniques, but also increased his Qi and blood to the limit, and his killing points subsequently increased to over a thousand.
Back when Lu Hao's health reached 199, he tried to add more points, but the panel indicated that he didn't have enough kill points. When he tried again yesterday after returning home, the panel indicated that he needed to consume 1000 kill points.
It seems that this barrier of three-times-tempered bones is really hard to break. According to the current system, one kill point is equivalent to 10 units of Qi and Blood. 1000 kill points would require 10,000 units of Qi and Blood to break through this barrier.
That's ten thousand units of Qi and Blood, the normal amount only a seventh-grade Grandmaster possesses. Even non-martial artists need that much Qi and Blood, and even with elixirs, they couldn't reach that level.
Moreover, let alone that much, even 1000 calories of Qi and Blood would overwhelm a non-martial artist, so three rounds of bone tempering are extremely difficult.
I really don't know how amazing the talent is for those animals who can temper their bones three times on their own.
After washing up, Lu Hao headed towards the slaughterhouse, as accumulating kill points was something that couldn't be delayed.
"Xiao Lu, you're here again? You're the first one here again today. It's good to be young."
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the slaughterhouse, he heard a voice behind him. Lu Hao turned around and saw the slaughterhouse owner, whom he had frequently encountered over the past week.
The boss's surname is Zhang. He is not a martial artist, but his son is. He studies at Northwest Martial Arts University, but his son does not focus on practicing martial arts. Instead, he squanders his money at the school.
So the boss was extremely helpless. He tried many methods but none of them worked. He originally planned to support his son to reach a high level and then come back to inherit the slaughterhouse, but now it seems that the business is doomed.
So when she saw Lu Hao arrive earliest every day and work diligently during the slaughtering, she immediately thought that this was the kind of child someone else should have. At the same time, she imagined a lot of tragic backstories in her mind, so she was quite concerned about Lu Hao.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I was just at home with nothing to do, so I thought I'd come over early."
This slaughterhouse is currently the only place where Lu Hao can obtain killing points, so why wouldn't he come here sooner?
After chatting with the boss for a few minutes, Lu Hao quickly entered the arena and began collecting kill points. These were all valuable kill points; killing one less enemy meant losing two kill points.
Seeing how much Lu Hao loved his work, the boss couldn't help but sigh that children from poor families mature early. He also thought Old Wu was getting senile, saying that the kid was mentally unstable, but wasn't this a good thing?
……
That evening, after dinner, Lu Hao told his mother that he would be undergoing bone tempering three times that day.
"No, you've only undergone your second bone tempering less than half a month ago. Why would you do a third bone tempering now? Let's first raise our qi and blood to their limit, and then see if we need to do a third bone tempering."
Bai Qiuyao looked at Lu Hao with a worried expression.
"Mom, my Qi and Blood have reached their limit, reaching 199. So I need to undergo three more Bone Tempering treatments, otherwise my Qi and Blood won't be able to improve any further."
"Huh? Hao'er, you didn't take some kind of banned drug, did you? Otherwise, how could your qi and blood reach their limit so quickly?"
Upon hearing what Lu Hao said, Bai Qiuyao grabbed Lu Hao's arm and probed his body with a wisp of blood and qi.
However, there was nothing unusual; on the contrary, his blood and qi were surging and vast, indicating that his blood and qi were not forcibly enhanced by elixirs.
But this is not scientific. After a second bone tempering, it usually takes at least three or four months of nourishing blood and qi to raise blood and qi to their limit. During this period, the supply of blood and qi pills cannot be stopped.
However, Lu Hao has only broken through for about half a month and has already raised his Qi and blood to the limit. This is without taking any pills. It seems that my son has some kind of opportunity.
"Hao'er, remember this: if anyone asks you when you broke through to the second stage of Bone Tempering, just say you broke through last December, and then used a lot of pills to raise your Qi and blood to the limit in two months to break through to the third stage of Bone Tempering, understand?"
Bai Qiuyao looked at Lu Hao and said seriously.
"Yes, Mom, I understand. If anyone asks me, that's what I'll say." Lu Hao knew that his mother had already figured something out, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, when breaking through, he always needed someone to watch over him for safety, so the natural speed of improvement couldn't be hidden.
However, since her mother didn't mention it, but instead said that she had brought forward the time of her second bone tempering and consumed a lot of pills, she was telling her how she had already concealed it.
Let it be that I reveal some things to my parents; they won't tell anyone anyway. There's no way to hide these things if I want to improve. But as long as I improve fast enough, no one will interfere.
With a solid foundation in the early stages and the support of parents, there's nothing to fear once you grow up quickly.
As you can see in the original story, after Fang Ping reached the seventh rank, no one investigated his secrets anymore, but when he was at a lower rank, many people did.
Therefore, strength is everything.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. My Qi and blood have reached their limit, and there's no way to increase it further. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to undergo bone tempering three times."
Lu Hao said with a smile.
"Alright, now that Hao'er has embarked on the path of martial arts, Mom can't interfere too much. Just follow your own ideas from now on. But if you need anything, be sure to tell Mom and Dad. We can't help you with other things, but we can help you a lot with resources."
Bai Qiuyao didn't know what Lu Hao's opportunity was, but she knew she couldn't impose her own worldview on him. So, she could only offer support and help for Lu Hao's path of martial arts.
All I can do is shield Lu Hao from outside covetousness before he grows up.
"Yes, I know. I'll let you know if I need to."
Lu Hao said as he walked toward the training room.
