Chapter 44 Killing a Peak Rank 3
The following day, August 21, Lu Hao began to try to temper his ribs, but the ribs were more difficult to temper than the upper and lower limb bones he had tempered before.
If it takes 500 calories of Qi and blood to temper a lower limb bone, then it takes nearly a thousand calories of Qi and blood to temper a rib.
Lu Hao's current blood and qi are 480 calories. Each time he tempers a rib, he needs to leave about a quarter of it so it can recover naturally faster. Based on this, it would take about three days to temper one rib.
The third-grade requirement involves tempering the torso bones, a total of 51 pieces. Without using kill points, it would take 153 days, or five months, to complete the tempering and reach the high-level of the third grade.
Not to mention the tempering of tendons, skin, blood, and flesh from the high level of the third grade to the peak, that would be even more of a waste of time. If you use killing points to temper bones, you would need about 100 killing points, so 51 pieces would require 5100 points.
Lu Hao is now increasingly looking forward to the start of the school year, when he can apply to go down into the underground caves and then he will have a large number of killing points to use for cultivation.
After a brief, tentative tempering attempt, Lu Hao stopped tempering his bones. He figured it was best to do it before going to bed at night, as that would be the most efficient way.
Lu Hao took the large ring-bladed sword and began practicing basic sword techniques, continuing to familiarize himself with the control of his Qi and Blood, striving to first return to the level of his Qi and Blood control before his breakthrough, and then find a way to improve to the level of ultimate techniques.
……
By August 27th, Lu Hao had already tempered two ribs. It must be said that although rib tempering is quite difficult, tempering one rib can increase one's qi and blood by about 8 kilocalories.
If all the bones in the torso are tempered, it's estimated that it can increase the Qi and Blood by 400 points. In addition, with the overall improvement after tempering, plus the tempering of tendons, skin, and flesh, no wonder the Qi and Blood of a peak third-grade cultivator can reach thousands of calories.
Over the past six days, Lu Hao practiced basic sword techniques non-stop, morning and afternoon, and finally regained his original level of control over qi and blood.
Next, he needs to gradually improve his mastery of Qi and blood until he reaches the level of a ultimate technique. Then, Lu Hao can be said to be invincible at the third rank.
……
On August 28th, Lu Hao, who was practicing his swordsmanship, suddenly received a message from his mother saying that the Detective Bureau had just discovered a cult den, which contained several third-rank and one fourth-rank individuals, as well as a group of first- and second-rank individuals.
So the Detective Bureau issued a mission, gathering people to take down this den. The Detective Bureau would send a fourth-rank official to fight against a fourth-rank official of the cult. The rest was up to the mission.
Bai Qiuyao knew that Lu Hao's strength was not to be underestimated, and most of the evil cult warriors on the other side were also Qi and Blood Warriors, so she prepared to let Lu Hao fight a third-grade evil cult warrior, which could also be considered as Lu Hao practicing before going down into the underground cave.
Upon receiving the news, Lu Hao immediately took his large ring-bladed sword and headed to the Detective Bureau. After all, he was extremely short of kill points, so this mission was incredibly timely. Lu Hao was quite confident in dealing with Qi and Blood Warriors.
Upon arriving at the Detective Bureau, Lu Hao discovered that quite a few people were already waiting there. He glanced around and saw that there were five Rank 3 officers, including himself, and five Rank 2 officers. As for Rank 1 officers, he didn't see any, since this mission was quite dangerous for them.
A moment later, Lu Hao saw a middle-aged man with a square face come down from upstairs. Lu Hao could clearly sense a sense of danger from him. It seemed that this was the fourth-rank martial artist who was leading the team.
"Everyone knows the mission now. When the time comes, each of you just needs to deal with the martial artists of the corresponding cultivation level. I'll deal with the strongest fourth-rank martial artist. I won't say more. Cult martial artists, everyone must kill them."
"Set off"
After the square-faced middle-aged man finished speaking, all the martial artists followed him to the cult's stronghold, and Lu Hao was among them.
Upon arriving at a bus, the man with the square face stepped forward first, followed by the rest. They were heading to the cult's stronghold, where they would then take action.
On the bus, everyone remained quiet and did not talk much.
Soon, we arrived at our destination, a leisure resort.
"The cult's stronghold is right here. The surrounding area has been taken into control. There are no ordinary people inside; they are all cult members. So, if you encounter anyone else inside, kill them without hesitation."
At the middle-aged man's command, those present who had weapons took them out, while those who didn't put a Qi and Blood Pill in their mouths, ready to swallow it at any time.
"Enter"
Everyone got off the bus and entered the villa.
The middle-aged man with a square face rushed in first, followed closely by the others. Lu Hao also went in, and after a few steps, he saw the cult warriors rushing out from the opposite side.
Seeing this, Lu Hao unleashed a slash at a third-rank martial artist. This slash, carrying nearly a hundred calories of blood energy, struck the martial artist who was running away.
The cultist was instantly knocked back several meters. Lu Hao looked over and noticed a small wound on the warrior's chest, and his inner armor had been pierced by blood and qi, leaving a large crack.
It seems I've hit the jackpot. The fact that my opponent wasn't seriously injured under these circumstances means he's already completed the tempering of his muscles, skin, and flesh. He's a peak third-grade martial artist.
However, judging from his resistance, he was a Qi and Blood Warrior, and now that his protective inner armor was broken, he could be killed.
In an instant, Lu Hao considered many things. Since he was a Qi and Blood Martial Artist, there was no problem; he could kill him.
Lu Hao continued his attack with his sword, while his opponent panicked. Although he was at the peak of the third rank, he had never fought before. Now, suddenly facing this deadly attack, he could only start to dodge.
However, Lu Hao's stance training was no joke; it directly blocked his escape route. With a slash, the heretical martial artist had no time to dodge and raised his arms to prepare for resistance.
As a result of Lu Haobai's burst of energy, the knife cut to the bone, and a significant portion of the bone was also broken.
"Ah, ah, I surrender!"
The cult fighter instantly collapsed to the ground in agony.
Lu Hao showed no mercy and unleashed a devastating strike, decapitating the cultist in one blow.
[Killed an enemy, kill points +957]
Instantly, Lu Hao's kill points increased. Looking at the headless corpse in front of him, Lu Hao couldn't help but curl his lips. This heretical martial artist was a true Qi and Blood martial artist, who had never experienced a single battle.
It was a waste for Lu Hao to get such a great advantage.
Lu Hao looked up at the others, who were all locked in fierce battles with their respective opponents. No one was as clean and efficient as Lu Hao. He didn't even need to draw his sword when he saw several first and second-grade martial artists rushing towards him.
With a single kick, each person killed them all. Lu Hao's own Qi and blood were also almost depleted. The three strikes had consumed nearly 300 units of Lu Hao's Qi and blood, and killing those first and second-rank individuals had used up about 100 units of Qi and blood. Now, Lu Hao had less than 100 units of Qi and blood left.
However, Lu Hao was not afraid at all. After all, he had money in his wallet and a strong back. Now Lu Hao had nearly a thousand killing points, which could restore nearly ten thousand health points. Not to mention third or fourth graders, he could even fight for a long time against fifth graders who had not mastered health points.
