With a low shout, Su Hao attacked Wu Yuntian again, throwing a punch straight at his chest.

Seeing Su Hao charging straight at him like this, Wu Yuntian couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. Such a reckless attack, if it were in other situations, he could end the battle with a single knife strike.

Wu Yuntian forcefully suppressed the urge to draw his knife and strike, and reached out to block this punch.

"Peng!"

Not expecting to achieve victory with this one punch, Su Hao quickly lifted his leg for a side kick.

Wu Yuntian raised his hand to grab Su Hao's ankle, but unexpectedly, a huge force hit his palm, numbing it. He failed to hold on firmly and even lost his balance, taking two steps backward to the side.

Su Hao seized the opportunity and pursued the attack.

"Slip Shadow Step!"

Su Hao activated the combat technique, suddenly sliding towards Wu Yuntian and raising his arm for an elbow strike. With the enhancement of elite blood - qi, the speed of his Slip Shadow Step increased dramatically.

"Peng!"

After blocking Su Hao's elbow strike, Wu Yuntian quickly used the force to retreat and widen the distance. His expression became solemn.

Su Hao wouldn't give the enemy a chance to adjust. Since he had the advantage, he had to find a way to expand it until he won.

"Slip Shadow Step!" Su Hao quickly approached Wu Yuntian from left and right, once again taking advantage of his speed to launch attacks on Wu Yuntian.

A fierce hand - to - hand battle unfolded on this open ground. Sand, stones, and dust flew up. Fallen leaves blown by the wind couldn't get within a three - meter radius and were blown away by the powerful qi.

The more they fought, the more solemn Wu Yuntian became. He found that his son's raw strength was slightly stronger than his own. In terms of speed and the amount of elite blood - qi, he was inferior. It was only because of his taller and stronger body and richer experience that he could barely gain the upper hand. If Su Hao grew a bit taller and stronger, he might not be his opponent.

Just some time ago, Su Hao was just an ordinary high - level martial artist, and the gap between them was almost insurmountable. Unexpectedly, in such a short time, he could almost match him evenly. This was quite an incredible thing.

Before long, due to his over - aggression, Su Hao attacked a false opening set by Wu Yuntian. Wu Yuntian grabbed his wrist and pulled, making him lose his balance first. Then he raised his foot and kicked Su Hao's back, sending him flying far away.

Before landing, Su Hao propped his hand on the ground and did a somersault to stand firmly.

Gasping for breath, he rubbed his hands and feet that were faintly aching from the battle. Su Hao straightforwardly admitted defeat, saying, "Father, you're really amazing."

Su Hao said this from the bottom of his heart. Through the fight with Wu Yuntian, he had learned a lot of close - combat skills.

Wu Yuntian rarely smiled and said, "Before long, I won't be your opponent. Now do you know what level you are?"

Su Hao thought about his insights during the battle and nodded. "I should be a high - level elite martial artist slightly lower than father. But I just entered the elite martial artist realm. It's hard to believe that I'm already at a high - level so quickly."

Wu Yuntian agreed. "It's good that you find it hard to believe."

Su Hao was still savoring the feeling of the battle. He couldn't say that he liked it very much, nor did he dislike it. There was only the joy of growth obtained during the battle.

Suddenly, Wu Yuntian said, "Xiangwu, you're nine years old this year, right?"

Su Hao nodded. "A little over nine years old."

"You've reached the standard. So, I plan to send you to Lingyun Martial Arts Academy in Lingyun Town to study in September." Wu Yuntian turned his head and looked in the direction of Lingyun Town.

"Lingyun Martial Arts Academy?" Su Hao became interested.

Wu Yuntian nodded. "Yes. I also studied there for a while back then, but I left halfway through without completing the four - year study."

Wu Yuntian paused and then continued, "There's actually nothing more I can teach you. As for the Grandmaster martial artist level, which is higher up, I don't know how to achieve it.

But the world is vast. There are more things than what you've seen, waiting for you to discover and learn.

To be honest, you might not learn much more in Lingyun Martial Arts Academy. The reason I want to send you there is that I hope you can systematically study the theory of martial artist cultivation. This is very important, but it's something I can't provide for you."

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Hao and asked, "What do you think?"

Su Hao immediately replied, "Okay."

He secretly looked forward to it in his heart. Finally, he was going to leave Chashan Outpost and see the outside world. And now, he was no longer the child who had no ability to protect himself. He was now a high - level elite martial artist. He was quite a remarkable figure out there.

"Oh, right." Wu Yuntian seemed to remember something suddenly and reminded him, "Qingqing, who is a bit older than you in the outpost, and Lao Li's son, Cunzhi, have also met the requirements. They should enter the school with you this year. You need to take care of them then."

"What?" Su Hao was shocked. He had to take care of kids when going to school?

...

Two months later, Su Hao had digested the sudden increase in strength after breaking through to an elite martial artist and could use elite blood - qi as he pleased, making it move at will.

Based on his current state, Su Hao updated the information about his body state:

"Age: 9 years and 7 months;

Height: 149cm;

Weight: 50KG;

Body state: Healthy;

Level: High - level elite martial artist;

Elite blood - qi: 31;

Combat skills: Basic Saber Technique (Proficient), Basic Footwork (Proficient); Slip Shadow Step (Proficient), Horizontal Slash (Skilled), Secret Stab (Skilled), Strong - force Fist (Skilled), Charge (Beginner), Shield Bash (Beginner), Leaping Downward Slash (Beginner);

Variable control: Blood - qi Enhancement Function (Proficient), Muscle Enhancement Function (Proficient), Bone Enhancement Function (Beginner), Viscera Enhancement Function (Uninitiated), Five - sense Enhancement Function (Uninitiated).

"

Judging from the above data, the biggest change this year was the addition of elite blood - qi. The number "31" behind it represented the amount of elite blood - qi obtained by converting the current total ordinary blood - qi in the body 31 times. Converting ordinary blood - qi once could obtain "1" point of elite blood - qi.

His conversion speed was very fast. He could convert once a day. It took 31 days to fill it from 0 to 31 points.

For an average person, it was conservatively estimated that it would take ten days to accumulate enough ordinary blood - qi for one conversion. By comparison, it was evident how extraordinary Su Hao was.

There was also the "Slip Shadow Step", which had improved from "Skilled" to "Proficient". During these two months, he had fought with Wu Yuntian from time to time and gained some insights, thus breaking through the "Slip Shadow Step" to a higher level.

When he used the Slip Shadow Step, he could even change his position at will during the battle, creating a hazy and numerous shadow effect, making it difficult for his opponent to tell which direction he would appear from next.

Of course, his height had increased by a few centimeters, stopping at 149cm, and his weight had reached 50KG. Along with this, the amount of ordinary blood - qi had also increased, which was quite gratifying.

Today was the day to report to Lingyun Martial Arts Academy. Su Hao had already packed his necessary daily supplies and was ready to set off at any time.

The distance between Chashan Outpost and Lingyun Town wasn't far. It only took half a day on foot to get there.

Including Su Hao, there were five people traveling together. The little girl He Qingqing, Xiaopang Li Cunzhi, He Qingqing's father He Jianyong, Xiaopang's father Lao Li, and Su Hao. As for why Wu Yuntian wasn't going, his original words were, "I trust you to lead the team. I won't go. I'll stay here to guard the village."

Wu Yuntian was indeed very relieved because his son Wu Xiangwu's combat power was almost on a par with his. There was nothing to worry about.

He Jianyong and Lao Li both said that Wu Yuntian was really bold. They didn't feel at ease with their daughter and son going out into the wild and had to escort them personally.

Before leaving, Wu Yuntian handed Su Hao a bag and said, "This is the money exchanged for your spoils in the past three years. Keep it well. It's not much, but it should be enough."

Su Hao took the money bag. This was the first time he had come into contact with the currency of this world. He curiously took out a shiny silver coin and asked, "Is this a silver coin?"

"This is called a silver dollar. It can be exchanged for 100 copper yuan, and 100 silver dollars can be exchanged for 1 gold yuan. You can use it as you like when you get to Lingyun Town. Oh, and if it's not enough, I don't have any more."

"Okay. Then I'm leaving." Su Hao took it and put it away.

This was the first time Su Hao had left this small village.

"A little bit of anticipation!" Su Hao murmured with a smile.

"What?" He Qingqing, who had been paying attention to Su Hao, asked subconsciously.
