Chapter 29
Su Yun could not help but sigh when she saw the high-spirited Zhang Tianwen being defeated.
Who would have thought that Han Zhao would break through so quickly?
In the beginning, Han Zhao was only valued by Master Lu because of his comprehension of saber techniques. Later on, he used facts to prove that his foundation was not good. It was useless even if his comprehension was high. Master Lu was not as concerned about him as before.
Back then, among the few of them, the person who cultivated the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique the slowest to reach the Skin Tempering Realm was Li Fei, but it had only been twenty days.
It took Han Zhao three months.
Unexpectedly, his cultivation speed increased as he progressed.
‘Is that reasonable?’
Previously, when he didn’t come to the martial arts school, they all thought that Han Zhao had given up.
Later on, when she heard that he was going to earn money, she even laughed at him for coming from an ordinary background. His foundation was low, but he was inexplicably arrogant.
From the looks of it, they were too narrow-minded.
The one with the most foresight was actually Xu Ling, whom she had previously thought to be naive.
“Congratulations, Junior Martial Brother Han.” Su Yun walked forward.
“Senior Sister Su is too polite.” Han Zhao nodded.
Su Yun was a little unhappy with Han Zhao’s reaction.
Originally, she had planned to invite Han Zhao to register at the Su family’s company, but from the looks of it, she decided not to.
Even if it was an expert in the Blood Tempering Realm, there were four of them in her family. All of them were polite to her.
As the only daughter, no one could threaten her status.
In any case, Han Zhao was only a Bone Tempering martial artist, not a quasi-Martial Master in the Blood Tempering Realm. The Su family did not lack him.
…
Han Zhao stayed in the martial arts school for the entire morning. After seeing a few batches of people, he finally had some free time.
After learning from Xu Ling that Zhao Yuantu was slightly injured, he went to the inner city to visit him.
After Zhao Yuantu became the registered elder of the Xu family, the Xu family gave him a courtyard at the edge of the Yonghe District.
Every inch of land in the inner city could be said to be worth its weight in gold. The Xu family had really invested a lot. From this, one could see the strength and status of a quasi-Martial Master in the Blood Tempering Realm.
“A heretic Blood Tempering Realm martial artist is sucking human blood?!”
Han Zhao arrived at Zhao Yuantu’s residence and heard from him about the attack on the caravan.
“The other party is good at palm techniques. His martial arts path is very strange. In battle, many Bone Tempering Realm martial artists were inexplicably poisoned and lost the ability to resist.
The other registered elder and I were also hit. At that time, we felt our bodies go numb.
“If we hadn’t bought the black gold gloves through the Xu family and used poison-resistant medicine, we wouldn’t have been able to win.”
Zhao Yuantu lay on the bed and said with lingering fear.
“Is that so?” Han Zhao nodded and fell into deep thought.
“Although he was severely injured, he still escaped. However, we’ve already informed the county office and the county magistrate has issued a wanted order. There should be Blood Tempering martial artists chasing after him.” Zhao Yuantu’s tone was uncertain. The county office might just be a formality.
Under normal circumstances, Blood Tempering Realm martial artists were not willing to fight martial artists of the same level because injuries would affect the accumulation of the Blood Imprint and reduce the chances of grasping Internal Force.
If not for the other party forcing him, he would not have risked his life and caused his blood qi to be damaged.
“Eldest Senior Brother, have a good rest first. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Han Zhao saw that Zhao Yuantu’s face was a little pale and felt that he had no clue, so he decided to leave.
“Yes, I heard that you broke through. I didn’t have the time to congratulate you. When I recover, I’ll definitely let you treat me.” Zhao Yuantu smiled.
“That’s not a problem. What about the Splendid Cloud Pavilion?” Han Zhao raised his thumb.
“Alright! I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
“Alright, I’ll be leaving then.”
Han Zhao stood up.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, your house is too deserted. There’s no one to take care of you. It’s time to consider starting a family, right?”
“I’ll get married after I recover.” Zhao Yuantu scratched his head with a blissful smile on his face.
It seems that he already has someone in mind… Han Zhao smiled and walked out of the courtyard.
…
Han Zhao went out of the city before returning home.
He disguised himself as Song Que and rushed to the Saber Hunter stronghold at the foot of Black Wind Mountain. From there, he obtained information about the heretic Blood Tempering expert.
Wanted Warrant: Blood Tempering expert from the heretic sect. First Qi Blood Breakthrough level. He is severely injured. His origin is unknown. He is good at palm techniques and poison. Reward: 500 taels of silver.
Looking at the information on the wanted poster, Han Zhao was tempted.
A heavily injured Blood Tempering Realm expert had a high chance of winning if he used all his methods.
However, he planned to simulate the results first. If it was too risky, then forget it.
Therefore, he used the remaining silver to exchange for two taels of gold and returned home.
“System, charge.”
[Current Balance: 3 taels of gold]
[Collected 30 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize a Trait?]
[This will consume 20 Notification Fragments, 3 taels of gold…]
“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”
[18 years old. You broke through to the Bone Tempering Realm and accepted Zhu Kangsheng’s request. You agreed to kill Qi Xing for him after breaking through.]
[You received invitations from various forces and agreed to register your name with the Xu family and the Zhang family.]
[You learned from Zhao Yuantu that a heretic Blood Tempering Realm expert was severely injured by him and the registered elder of the Xu family and fled to the vicinity of Blackrock City. You searched everywhere but to no avail.]
[19 years old. Your Life Nurturing Technique reached the Second Level. You encountered a bottleneck.]
[21 years old. Your Life Nurturing Technique broke through to the Third Level. Your Mountain Splitting Saber Technique reached the Perfection stage of the Bone Tempering Realm.]
[You decided to fulfill your promise and help Zhu Kangsheng kill Qi Xing. After camping, you ambushed Qi Xing halfway and severely injured him.]
[Just as you were about to kill Qi Xing, an expert at the third level of the Blood Tempering Realm suddenly joined.]
[The other party used a very strange martial art. During the battle, you were poisoned without any warning. Your body began to feel numb and weak, and your blood qi stagnated. After you killed Qi Xing with a slash, you collapsed to the ground.]
[An expert at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough expressed that he wanted to suck all the blood in your body dry. While he was relaxed and was approaching you, you used the Sword Drawing Technique to severely injure him.]
[The other party begged for mercy and wanted to detoxify you. At the same time, he gave you his cultivation technique, Blood Spirit Policy, and told you that this cultivation technique could allow you to grasp Internal Force within three years. The other party relied on this cultivation technique to advance from the first Blood Qi Breakthrough to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough stage in three years.]
[You didn’t listen and killed the other party. You found the Blood Spirit Policy from the other party but didn’t find the antidote. You immediately circulated the Life Nurturing Technique to detoxify the poison.]
[Halfway through your detoxification, a large group of people from the Flying Dragon Stockade arrived. Your stamina and true qi were exhausted, and you were surrounded and killed by everyone.]
“That heretic Blood Tempering martial artist actually got together with the Flying Dragon Stockade?!” Han Zhao frowned slightly.
In the simulation, he was really miserable. There was no system, nor was there any Trait enhancement. He had only broken through at the age of 21 with the Life Nurturing Technique.
As expected, the further one progressed, the harder it was to break through the bottleneck.
Fortunately, he could add points.
[The simulation is over. You can choose one of the following.]
[1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)]
[2: Obtained attribute points]
[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.]
[Current Balance: 0]
“Since that heretic expert is a problem, we can only solve the problem.” Han Zhao was prepared to strike first.
That heretic expert was currently severely injured and might need to suck blood to recover from his injuries. Since he had gotten together with the Flying Dragon Stockade, he might be with them now.
Since the other party would come out to disrupt the situation in the future, Han Zhao might as well kill him first.
Due to the Blood Qi Breakthrough, Blood Tempering Realm experts had already exceeded the limits of ordinary people. Ordinary poisons were useless.
In the simulation, he had cultivated the Life Nurturing Technique to the Third Level, but the other party could poison him silently. This meant that the poison he used was very brilliant, and the poison he mastered was extraordinary.
“Two.” Han Zhao didn’t hesitate at all.
