The next day at noon, inside the Demonic Beast Forest.
“Congratulations to the host for drawing your saber 3,000 times and completing the third phase of the mission. All attributes + 100!”
“The fourth phase of the quest has been issued 20,000 times!”
“Pfft!”
Su Hao, who had just taken a sip of water, spat it out when he heard that.
“Twenty thousand times! Do you want to double the number of times between us?!”
Su Hao’s face darkened. Although he had expected this, he still couldn’t help but complain when he really heard it.
However, he soon sighed and said, “There’s no way to cultivate. It’s fine as long as I can become stronger. 20,000 times it is, so be it. It’s a lot of work..”
He then opened the interface to check his current combat power.
[Host: Su Hao]
[Constitution: 640]
[Agility: 640]
[Power: 640]
Combat Strength: Level 10 Qi Refinement
“To break through to the next level, I need more and more points.”
Slightly sighing, Su Hao closed the interface and once again picked up the spirit weapon that Leng Xianxue had given him, Tang Dao, to continue practicing. However, this time, he didn’t just practice drawing his saber; he also continued to practice his saber technique.
After practicing for a while, Su Hao stopped and frowned.
“No, that’s not right. It’s useless to train like this. I know how to use the technique, but if it’s just for practice, it’s useless if it can’t be used in actual combat.”
“Sure enough, it’s still a matter of battle experience. But even if I don’t use Sword Draw, the demon beasts here won’t be able to withstand a normal slash. There’s no way to improve.”
Su Hao muttered to himself helplessly.
Previously, when he had just entered the forest, five demonic beasts had appeared in front of him. Just when he thought that he could practice, he had just drawn his saber and used the technique he had learned yesterday to slash at one of them. Originally, he thought that he would only cut open the neck of the demonic beast, but in the end, he directly chopped off its head, scaring the remaining four demonic beasts into fleeing in all directions.
“Aiya.”
Sighing helplessly, Su Hao could only continue practicing in the air.
However, what he did not notice was that the speed at which he drew his saber had reached the terrifying speed of ten slashes per second!
…
As time passed by, the dim yellow sunlight shone on the Demonic Beasts Forest. Unknowingly, Su Hao practiced for an entire afternoon.
“Five thousand already?”
Su Hao twisted his sore arm and looked at the mission progress in disbelief. He had only practiced for an afternoon and he had already reached this level?
That means the mission has made him draw his sword twenty thousand times. It seems so!
Based on his current progress, it would take him at most three days to complete it.
“It seems like I’ve been drawing my saber faster and faster recently.”
Su Hao recalled that ever since he had a breakthrough in his physique after consuming the Purple-Golden Winged Lion’s beast core, he always felt that he had an inexhaustible amount of energy.
“Why don’t we practice using saber aura?”
Su Hao immediately rejected this idea.
“No, I can’t. I’ll practice with the momentum of the saber. I’ll wither in less than ten minutes. If I can’t even last long, what’s the use of practicing?”
“Also, I remember that the textbooks said that the improvement of saber aura can only be improved by understanding the saber. And there are only a few ways to improve the saber’s understanding.
“One, practice more. Two, comprehend the spirit technique and gain enlightenment. Three, comprehend the saber aura or saber intent of the predecessors.”
Su Hao scratched his head and continued, “As for the last two methods, although Spiritual Techniques are considered to be at the Foundation Establishment stage, it’s not like I need to use them. I just need to observe and improve my understanding of the blade. After that, I will use my predecessor’s blade force. The blade intent is the most intuitive and easy to comprehend.”
“But here comes the problem. These two methods are extremely useful to me, but I can’t get these right now.”
Su Hao bitterly smiled. He felt that he had bitten off more than he could chew. Regardless of whether it was a Spiritual Technique or the Saber Intent of his predecessors, these were all extremely precious cultivation resources. They were not things that he could obtain right now.
“Fortunately, Sister Xianxue invited me to her academy. She probably thinks I’m a genius…”
He understood in his heart that Leng Xianxue only recruited him into the academy because she saw that he didn’t have any cultivation level, yet could comprehend Saber Force and treated him as a one-in-a-million genius. In order to obtain more resources, he didn’t tell her that he actually didn’t have the ability to draw Qi into his body to cultivate.
“But it doesn’t matter. I just can’t cultivate. It’s not like I can’t become stronger. As long as I persevere, there will be a day when I can stand at the peak of this world.”
When he thought of this, Su Hao smiled confidently. He had no way of cultivating, but that did not mean that he had no way of becoming stronger. It also did not mean that he was not a genius. Although he had the system to strengthen his physical body to the point that it was comparable to that of a Aura Refining cultivator, have you ever seen a genius who could comprehend the Force when he was in Aura Refining?
“Come on, let’s go home.”
Su Hao shook his head and tossed these messy thoughts to the back of his mind. He picked up his backpack, and Tang Dao walked to the acquisition area to sell the demonic beast’s internal organs for today before heading home.
…
“The demonic beasts in this Demonic Beast Forest are too weak. Let’s see if there are any stronger demonic beasts gathering here.”
Su Hao’s fingers tapped on his phone and soon, he opened a webpage.
[Demon Beast Mountain Range]
[The demon beasts are all uncivilized. The average level is between the eighth level of Qi Refining and the twelfth level of Qi Refining!]
[Note: The country is open for free. Please train newbies and act within your capabilities!]
Su Hao’s eyes lit up. Wasn’t this what he had been looking for?
The lowest level of Demonic Beasts in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range was the eighth level of Qi Refining. This quality was even higher than that of Demonic Beasts Forest!
“Besides today, there are still six days left before I leave the academy. Let’s go to the Demon Beast Mountain Range and stay there for three days.”
As for why he stayed here for three days, it was naturally to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring, and he would have sufficient time to deal with it.
“Alright! It’s decided then!”
At the thought of doing it, Su Hao immediately got off the bed and found two sets of clothes. He put them into his new bag and went out to buy a large batch of canned food, water, and other supplies.
After doing all of this, Su Hao nodded his head in satisfaction. He threw his backpack filled with food, water, and clothes to the side. He fell asleep as soon as he laid down on the bed. It was done in one go, and it was smooth like flowing water. It was obvious that he had been cultivating this path for many years.
