Chapter 86: Lu Yi’s Impression, Blood Spirit Policy Breakthrough!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Go and ask Master Lu about the situation.”
Han Zhao thought to himself.
It had always been his style to do things without hesitation.
He changed into a clean lake blue outfit and walked out of the room.
“Yu Niang, I’m going out for a while. I’ll come back for dinner. Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll buy it back.”
Looking at Yu Niang, who had washed a large basin of clothes, Han Zhao said.
Ever since he had Yu Niang, he did not have to do housework. Moreover, his clothes were changed every day, and his bedsheets were sunned every day and washed often.
Although he liked to be clean when he was alone, it was definitely not so comfortable.
“Same as before,” Yu Niang said with a smile.
“Alright, hazelnut crisps and roast duck.” Han Zhao made an ‘OK’ gesture.
Seeing this, Yu Niang put down the mallet in her hand and gave an incongruous ‘OK’. She looked like a chick opening and closing its mouth.
“I’m leaving.”
Han Zhao walked out of the house.
Before leaving, he glanced at his attribute pane.
—Name: Yu Niang (Ice Whisper Bird – Half-Demon)
—Cultivation Method: Life Nurturing Technique (Second Level Perfection 13%, Upgradeable)
“So fast?!” Han Zhao was stunned.
It had been a while since she last saw it. Yu Niang’s Life Nurturing Technique had already been cultivated to the perfected Second Level.
With the guidance and help of his Life Nurturing True Qi, Xu Ling’s progress was not much faster than Yu Niang’s.
Yu Niang ate the same food as him, but with a normal person’s appet.i.te, she actually had such a fast cultivation speed.
“I’ll focus on nurturing her later. Perhaps Yu Niang can break through as soon as possible.”
After leaving the house, Han Zhao rushed to the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy.
“Senior Brother Han!”
“Brother Han!”
The apprentices who were polishing their bodies in the outer courtyard stopped what they were doing. Even some of the more silent apprentices took the initiative to greet Han Zhao.
After all, the current Han Zhao was already a Blood Tempering Realm expert. Moreover, he had broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm in his early twenties.
Unlike other apprentices with deep backgrounds, other than exchanging a secret manual for a chance to learn martial arts at the beginning, Han Zhao was basically like many commoners among them. He could be considered to have come from a gra.s.sroots background.
He had already become a role model for many apprentices by relying on his own efforts to reach this point.
“Yes.” Han Zhao smiled and nodded.
When he pa.s.sed by a tall young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he
stopped in his tracks and cupped his fists. “Senior Brother Li, long time no see.”
The young man was Li Fei, who had not been to the martial arts school for a while.
Previously, Li Fei had changed from the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique to the Mountain Shaking Fist. Then, he taught newcomers in the martial arts school and received Lu Yi’s guidance. Some time ago, because of Xu Ling and Han Zhao’s successive breakthroughs, he was stimulated and finally decided to return to the family to break through.
Now that he continued to guide the apprentices, it meant that he had failed to break through to the Blood Tempering Realm.
Bone Tempering Realm martial artists could be considered middle-level. In small and medium-sized gangs, they were already at the level of the leader and deputy leader.
Originally, several gangs had offered good conditions to invite Li Fei to join, but he rejected them all.
He chose to continue staying in the martial arts school. On one hand, it was to repay Lu Yi for his careful guidance when he was practicing fist techniques. On the other hand, he did not give up and wanted to try again.
“Junior Brother Han, it’s been a long time.” Li Fei saw that Han Zhao’s smile was sincere and as usual, his slightly tense body relaxed.
“I’m here to discuss something with Master.”
“Master Lu should be in the study.” “Then I’ll take my leave first.”
“Okay.”
Looking at Han Zhao’s tall back, Li Fei’s expression was a little lonely.
Among the few people in the courtyard back then, Xu Ling and Han Zhao had all broken through to the Blood Tempering Realm. Only he and Su Yun had stopped at the Perfected Bone Tempering Realm. However, Su Yun still had time and opportunity. Zhang Tianwen had broken through, but he was dead.
“If I had some courage back then and chose to follow Junior Sister Lu to the prefecture capital, would the outcome have been different?” Li Fei sighed.
Han Zhao rushed to the study. Lu Yi was sitting at the table and writing furiously.
Hearing footsteps, Lu Yi looked up at the door.
“Master.” Han Zhao bowed.
“Come in.” Lu Yi smiled and pointed at the armchair at the side. “Sit anywhere.”
“Okay.” Han Zhao sat beside Lu Yi and stole a glance from the corner of his eye. It seemed like he was writing a letter.
Lu Yi seemed to have sensed Han Zhao’s gaze and did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Kid, you’re really… Did you peek at my family letter?”
“Family letter?” Han Zhao was stunned before asking, “Is it for Senior Sister
He had been learning martial arts from Lu Yi for so long. Other than that time when he explained the basic diagram, he rarely heard him mention his family.
“Yes,” Lu Ying replied.
“Master, you’ve finally thought it through. Are you going to marry Senior Sister to me?” Han Zhao said with a smile.
“Kid, you’re dreaming! It’s not easy to enjoy the blessings of being together.” Lu Yi scolded with a smile. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “Actually… it’s sometimes not a good thing to have too much luck with women.”
‘There’s a deeper story.’
Han Zhao’s eyes lit up.
Lu Yi’s expression turned solemn. “If I matchmake you with Yingxuan but ask you to give up on Xu Ling, will you be willing?”
Han Zhao was silent.
He would not give up the person who came before him for the sake of the person who came later, even if the person who came later was better. Seeing Han Zhao’s performance, not only was Lu Yi not angry, but he also nodded.
“Alright, that’s more like it. For us martial artists… As long as you have the ability, you might be able to do what others can’t.”
As long as one was strong enough, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Women could also have 3,000 heads. The key was ability.
“Actually, I don’t have the right to criticize you either. When I was young, I also caused a lot of amorous debts. In the end… Sigh…”
‘Don’t say just half of it…’ Han Zhao was speechless.
“With Yingxuan’s personality, it’s not easy for you to win her favor, not to mention that you have Xu Ling.” Lu Yi pondered and said, “However… I quite like you. Your comprehension is good, and you’re considered reliable. In terms of looks, Yingxuan will probably like you.”
“Master, I’ll be proud if you praise me like this.” Han Zhao smiled foolishly.
“Go away!” Lu Yi waved his hand in disdain and changed the topic. “Tell me, why are you looking for me?”
“Oh right.” Han Zhao suddenly punched Lu Yi.
“Watch my fist! ”
Han Zhao’s huge fist suddenly turned the color of white jade.
Lu Yi was shocked and immediately circulated the Mountain Shaking Force to turn around and punch.
Han Zhao took a step back and retracted his fist.
“Your Mountain Shaking Fist is about to break through to the Third Level so quickly?!”
Lu Yi was shocked.
However, the surprise Han Zhao gave him was far from over.
He rolled up his sleeves and controlled the acc.u.mulation of Blood Imprint. His arms turned red, and two black patterns that were like mountain peaks appeared on both arms.
“Second Blood Qi Breakthrough?! Another twofold increase in blood qi!!” Lu Yi’s eyes widened, and his eyeb.a.l.l.s were about to pop out.
“How long has it been since you broke through?! Three months? Could it be that you’re a potential genius? The kind that acc.u.mulates and develops?” Lu Yi was in disbelief.
“Actually, the last time I told you I broke through to the first Blood Qi Breakthrough, I was already about to break through to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough,” Han Zhao explained in order not to shock Lu Yi too much.
“You mean you broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of 19?!” Lu Yi caught the main point.
“Ah… this… yes.”
“Good for you!”
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows. “Then why are you willing to tell me this now?”
“I want to ask you about Senior Sister Lu.”
Han Zhao smiled awkwardly.
Lu Yi took a deep look at Han Zhao and said, “Well… as long as you can break through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough in two years, it’s not impossible for Yingxuan to be betrothed to you. Of course, even if we have an engagement, I can’t do anything if she’s unwilling. Moreover, she just sent a letter yesterday saying that she has already grasped Internal Force.”
“She grasped Internal Force?” Han Zhao raised his eyebrows and thought of the situation in the simulation. He could not rule out the possibility that she was hiding her cultivation progress.
“Don’t feel pressured. This kind of thing can’t be forced.” Lu Yi patted Han Zhao’s shoulder. It was best if he could be a son-in-law. If not, it was not bad to be a successor.
“Master, you have to tell me Senior Sister’s preferences. The more detailed she is, the better!”
Han Zhao smiled.
“As for Yingxuan… Her foundation is not bad, but she has been weak and sickly since she was young. She’s not suitable for martial arts. After many years of recuperation, she recovered her physique. She was especially close to me when she was young and pestered me all day long. However, ever since her mother’s incident, she has distanced herself from me a lot. She looks very stubborn, but actually…”
At the mention of Lu Yingxuan, Lu Yi’s eyes lit up. He could not shut his mouth.
Han Zhao listened quietly.
Ten days later.
Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed. The skin on his entire body began to turn abnormally red, and gradually, his entire body seemed to be covered by a thin layer of blood energy.
Bang!
Suddenly, Han Zhao opened his eyes and saw that his skin color had quickly returned to normal. A m.u.f.fled sound came from his body.
Martial Arts: Blood Spirit Policy (Second Level Entry Level 2%, Upgradeable;
Special Effect: Blood Transformation Level 4, Mind Control Level 3, Blood
Explosion Level 2, Blood Fusion Level 1)
[The new Blood Spirit Policy that deviated from its original route again retained a portion of the advantages of the original cultivation method. At the same time, it greatly reduced the probability of Qi Deviation and obtained the ability to fuse blood. Its potential is not low. It is recommended to spend money to increase it.]
[Basic Master’s proficiency has increased!]
[Basic Master’s quality has increased!]
[Basic Master]: Green Trait. Cultivation speed of basic and beginner-level martial arts is doubled. The probability of breaking through the upper limit is greatly increased. (Can be upgraded through cultivation. The upper limit is Blue Trait.)
With the breakthrough of the Blood Spirit Policy, Han Zhao’s blood qi increased by 50%. Even the Basic Master Trait that had not been used all this time had upgraded from white to green.
“The Vajra Technique is the basic cultivation method of the Heavenly Saint Sect’s divine technique. Even if it’s not a basic martial art, it should be a beginner-level martial art, right?” Han Zhao suddenly thought of this..
