Chapter 74 Revisiting an Old haunt
Chapter 74 Revisiting an Old haunt
On October 12th, Lu Hao and his two companions emerged from the underground cave.
Lu Hao planned to inform his mentor first, and then go into seclusion to temper his spine. After all, he had gained over eight thousand killing points in this round, which he estimated would be enough to directly cultivate to the fourth rank.
Then we'll go down into the underground cave, since cultivation after the fourth rank requires tempering the internal organs, which is impossible with the current panel functions.
Qin Fengqing then plunged into the cultivation room, preparing to reach the peak of the third rank in one go, and then see if she should break through to the fourth rank.
As for Wang Jinyang, he will return to Nanwu, since he still needs to integrate the Nanwu Martial Arts Club. He was the vice president before, but now he should be the president.
However, after being persuaded by Lu Hao and Qin Fengqing, he has decided to use a large amount of his credits to exchange for cultivation resources.
If we don't have enough resources, we can always go down into the underground caves to plunder them. Once our cultivation level is high enough, everything will be easy.
……
Lu Hao left the South District and went to Lü Fengrou's villa area, only to find that Lü Fengrou was not there, so he called her.
As a result, Lü Fengrou told him to go to a place. Looking at the place Lü Fengrou gave him, Lu Hao laughed. He didn't expect Lü Fengrou to be there. It felt really familiar.
I hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed towards the location given by Lü Fengrou.
……
Shanghai, suburbs, compound.
Lu Hao walked towards the familiar courtyard, greeted the two guards at the gate, and went inside.
"Hey? Isn't this Brother Lu? What brings you here to practice your skills again?" said the burly man at the door.
"No, I got into Magic Martial Arts University. Besides, I'm already at the third rank, there's no one at that level who can beat me. My mentor is here, Teacher Lü, she's in, right?"
"You mean Instructor Lü? She's here today. She just arrived and has two students with her; they must be freshmen."
Lu Hao nodded. It seemed that Lü Fengrou had brought Fang Ping and Zhao Xuemei here to witness the bloodshed.
As I walked inside, I heard the familiar clamor and bustling sounds, and smelled the stench of blood.
The underground dueling arena was where Lu Hao first engaged in real combat and killed someone. He spent almost a month there before graduating.
Not long after entering, Lu Hao saw Lü Fengrou, as well as Fang Ping and Zhao Xuemei standing to the side.
"Teacher Lü, I'm back."
"Hmm, how did it feel to be out in the field this time?" Lü Fengrou answered, then asked.
"Not bad. Wang Jinyang and Qin Fengqing made a fortune, so we probably won't lack cultivation resources for the time being."
"By the way, what did Instructor Lü bring them here for? Isn't it time for them to draw blood yet?" Lu Hao asked.
"The special training program has started. There will be a freshman exchange competition in the second half of the year, and then we will decide on the allocation of resources. So we came early to let them see some blood, and they also know about the underground events," Lu Fengrou explained.
"Has the college not made any assignment decisions for me? After all, I'm a freshman too."
While watching the fight on stage, Lu Hao asked with a smile. After all, he was also a first-year student. If he were to participate, there would be no other options.
"The school doesn't have any regulations yet, but they'll probably suspend you, and you'll likely receive a lot of compensation."
After all, you're already a third-rank cultivator. Although they can quickly produce a few third-rank cultivators, their combat strength definitely can't compare to yours."
Lu Hao nodded and said no more. He would see what the Education Bureau's regulations were like later.
"Lu Hao, you've gone underground. What's it like down there? Is it the same as described in the book?" Fang Ping asked.
He had wanted to ask for a while, since he knew from the news about the underground cave a few days ago that Lu Hao and Wang Jinyang must have gone down there.
At the same time, I admire them, after all, the teacher had talked about the dangers of the underground cave, and Lu Hao went down into the underground cave so early.
Now that they saw Lu Hao had returned, they didn't even have time to observe the battle on the stage. Instead, they kept looking at Lu Hao to see if there was anything different about him, but they couldn't see anything.
After finally getting a chance to hear from Lu Hao and Instructor Lü, he quickly asked a question, since their special training class had already received the news in advance and might have to go down at any time.
Zhao Xuemei, standing to the side, also looked at Lu Hao with curiosity, waiting for his answer.
"How should I put it? It's a killing field where you have to be prepared to be killed at any time. At the same time, it's a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak," Lu Hao said with a smile, looking at the young Fang Ping in front of him.
"It shouldn't be that scary, otherwise so many people wouldn't have come back alive," Fang Ping subconsciously retorted as he listened to Lu Hao's description.
"No rush. Your current mindset isn't right for going down into the underground cave. Going down too early will only lead to your demise. Staying here is just right for you."
Lu Hao shook his head and said.
After all, Fang Ping isn't exactly likable these days; he's single-mindedly focused on profit and money, and he's also cowardly and afraid of trouble.
He still doesn't understand what a martial artist or a guardian is.
Lu Hao was somewhat disappointed in Fang Ping. After all, in his view, if he failed, Fang Ping would be the only one he could rely on. So he hoped that Fang Ping could grow up quickly, but that was unrealistic.
Only through the trials and tribulations of various experiences can one truly grow. Oh well, let's just consider this a backup plan. If I don't succeed, I'll have to rely on Fang Ping.
"The underground is not just a killing field, but also a treasure trove. It has all kinds of resources, resources that can make you rich overnight. Take the three of us this time, for example, each of us got about 5000 credits."
Lu Hao knew that nothing else could sway Fang Ping except something related to wealth, so he deliberately mentioned their gains to entice Fang Ping to enter the underground cave as soon as possible and grow stronger.
5000 credits...
5000 credits...
5000...
Fang Ping was now oblivious to everything else, his mind solely focused on the 5,000 credits, which amounted to 150 million. His current total wealth was only 8 million.
"What, you value Fang Ping a lot?"
He heard Lü Fengrou's mental transmission in his ear.
"It's alright. I feel like we're the same kind of people. He can grow to my level, or even stronger, so I'll give him a goal and tempt him a little," Lu Hao said softly.
Lu Fengrou nodded silently. Although she didn't know why Lu Hao valued Fang Ping, it was probably just a case of mutual appreciation between geniuses.
Okay, it's decided. Next time, we'll double Fang Ping's training and give him more responsibilities so he can grow up faster.
Fang Ping, who was daydreaming to himself, suddenly felt a chill.
kindness?
Fang Ping probably thought he was mistaken, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Watching Lü Fengrou throw Fang Ping into the morgue and take charge of collecting and guarding the body, she realized that this was exactly the same setup as her own.
To help Fang Ping grow, Lu Hao specifically instructed Xiao Li to choose the scariest movies and add many Easter eggs for him.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Wang, Lu Hao left, as he needed to go back and temper his spine.
