Chapter 28: Practice
Su Hao finally realized the power of Elite Warriors. Just a slight touch from them could be fatal.
Now Su Hao understood why most warriors he saw were wearing full sets of armor. Elite Warriors were a group of high-attack, low-defense fighters.
Su Hao sheathed his short knife and noticed that it was completely clean, without a trace of dust or debris. He pondered, "After attaching Elite Warrior blood energy, the short knife gains powerful attack strength. This attack strength doesn't come from the knife itself, but from the Elite Warrior blood energy. The Elite Warrior blood energy is a type of energy that exhibits a violent side when it's no longer under conscious control. The sharpness of the knife helps to enhance the power of the Elite Warrior blood energy. What if I use my hand directly?"
Su Hao retracted his knife and infused his fist with Elite Warrior blood energy, then struck the ground with his fist.
"Boom!"
A basin-sized pit appeared on the ground, even though he didn't exert much force.
Su Hao felt a numbness in his fist, and when he looked at it, his fist was bright red. "When my fist hit the ground, the Elite Warrior blood energy surged out of my fist, releasing a powerful impact that shattered the ground. The force of the impact was countered by the remaining Elite Warrior blood energy in my fist, so my fist wasn't injured but felt sore from the recoil."
After all, he was flesh and blood, and compared to steel, he was fragile.
Su Hao continued to experiment for a while, but when he tried to stand up and go out to test the effects in other areas, he found that his muscles were weak and powerless, leaving him feeling weak.
With a slight sense, he discovered that his muscles were empty. It dawned on him that he had converted all his ordinary blood energy into Elite Warrior blood energy.
Su Hao couldn't help but be speechless, "Are the two types of blood energy not compatible?"
Through careful observation, Su Hao discovered the relationship between ordinary blood energy and Elite Warrior blood energy.
After successfully advancing to an Elite Warrior, his fighting style changed, and his attack methods relied mostly on Elite Warrior blood energy, while the role of ordinary blood energy became almost negligible.
Ordinary blood energy had only two functions: maintaining normal movement and being converted into Elite Warrior blood energy.
Next, he understood what he needed to do: replenish ordinary blood energy as quickly as possible and then convert it into Elite Warrior blood energy. Repeat this process until reaching the body's limit.
One month later, Su Hao successfully replenished his state. The Elite Warrior blood energy in his body reached an exaggerated level, squeezing all nine special positions in his body to the brim.
Su Hao found Wu Yuntian and informed him that he had already converted all his ordinary blood energy into Elite Warrior blood energy.
After years of training, Wu Yuntian's heart endurance had clearly increased, and he didn't show much surprise. After all, Su Hao was his son, and it was normal for a monster like him. What's wrong with accomplishing in one year what others take two or three years to achieve? It's normal.
Wu Yuntian nodded calmly and said, "In that case, you should adapt for a while now and fully grasp the characteristics of Elite Warrior blood energy. There's no need to rush. Converting ordinary blood energy into Elite Warrior blood energy has a low efficiency, it's a slow process that requires a lot of time. When you fill all nine palaces with Elite Warrior blood energy, you can be considered a high-level Elite Warrior."
Su Hao was shocked, "But Father, I've already filled all nine palaces!"
Wu Yuntian seemed to not have heard clearly and asked again, "What?"
Su Hao raised his voice, "I've already filled all nine palaces, I can't continue converting ordinary blood energy. Am I a high-level Elite Warrior now?"
Wu Yuntian was completely stunned.
"You said you've filled all your blood energy? Are you kidding me?"
"When have I ever joked with you, Father? Am I practicing the wrong way?" Su Hao felt a little anxious seeing Wu Yuntian's expression.
Wu Yuntian took a deep breath, trying to calm down the indescribable emotions in his heart and kept telling himself, "It's normal, it's only natural, no big deal!"
Then he said to Su Hao, "No, you're not practicing the wrong way!"
After Wu Yuntian explained, Su Hao finally understood how crazy his blood energy strengthening function and centrifugal force conversion method were.
For ordinary people, the efficiency of converting ordinary blood energy is not high. It requires accumulation over time, a slow process that is quite difficult. Even after accumulating a large amount of ordinary blood energy, only a small amount of Elite Warrior blood energy can be obtained through conversion, and then a significant amount of time is needed to convert ordinary blood energy again.
So for ordinary people, it takes a long time to accumulate a large amount of Elite Warrior blood energy.
However, Su Hao, as a special existence, never had to worry about lacking ordinary blood energy. When he lacked ordinary blood energy, he just needed to have a good meal, and the variables of the blood energy strengthening function would replenish it in no time.
Then, by accumulating a large amount of ordinary blood energy and spinning it at high speed, the powerful centrifugal force quickly converted it into Elite Warrior blood energy. The whole process took less than a day.
Through Wu Yuntian's description, Su Hao realized that his speed was indeed quite fast.
"But knowledge is power. Who told me I'm good at math, physics, chemistry, and biology?"
...
"Father, what is my current strength?" Su Hao asked curiously after understanding his current cultivation state.
Wu Yuntian thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Come with me. You'll find out when we spar."
Su Hao was taken aback. Spar? With Wu Yuntian?
Soon Su Hao realized what was going on and immediately followed. Although he didn't have much confidence, he felt a strange excitement welling up inside.
"It seems... I've never truly fought with someone before!"
Su Hao followed Wu Yuntian out of the village and found an open space where the two stood facing each other.
They discarded their armor and weapons and stood casually. If someone didn't know, they would think they were just having a chat.
The sun hung on the distant treetops, casting long shadows of the two.
Both of them focused their breath and concentration.
Suddenly, Su Hao's foot moved, and blood energy infused his legs as his figure rapidly approached Wu Yuntian, exuding an unstoppable momentum.
This was the combat technique Wu Yuntian taught him, "Charge." However, Su Hao didn't go all out from the beginning, but instead reserved most of his strength to adapt and respond flexibly.
His height was less than one meter fifty, while Wu Yuntian was close to two meters tall. Using the charging technique didn't give Su Hao an obvious advantage. It was just a starting move to increase momentum. What he excelled at was finding the moment after the opponent's action and striking with a single blow.
Wu Yuntian was very familiar with Su Hao and seemed to have guessed his intentions, but he didn't mind. He simply kicked with his right foot.
Su
Hao maintained his speed and just as he was about to collide with Wu Yuntian's kick, he suddenly leaned back and slid on the ground, avoiding the kick. In that instant, his hands pushed off the ground from behind his head, and his body sprang up like a spring, his feet kicking towards Wu Yuntian's chin from bottom to top.
This attack was fast and fierce, and even Su Hao himself wasn't confident in successfully landing such a sudden attack.
However, Wu Yuntian had rich combat experience and had long surpassed the stage of relying on consciousness in battle. He relied solely on his body's reactions.
He tilted his head back, evading Su Hao's attack.
Immediately after, he thrust his elbow forward.
"Bang!"
Su Hao, still in mid-air, was sent flying by Wu Yuntian's elbow strike.
Su Hao adjusted his posture mid-air and landed on the ground, rubbing his butt with his hand. Wu Yuntian's elbow strike hit his buttocks, cushioning most of the impact, but it still caused a slight pain.
Su Hao realized that as long as he attached Elite Warrior blood energy to the attacked area, he could neutralize the opponent's attack with Elite Warrior blood energy. It was like a powerful defensive skill.
However, when it came to the impact produced by hitting with his fist, he needed his body to defend against it.
Since he understood the key points, Su Hao put his mind at ease. Facing Wu Yuntian, he seemed to have nothing to fear. He could play the flesh-to-flesh combat against someone like Wu Yuntian, who was an old expert.
As for close combat, he wasn't afraid at all!
