Ambush

The next day, Su Hao no longer paid attention to the finals. Instead, he focused on optimizing the functions of the "Radar". For example, for familiar friends, he added a green ring, for strangers, a gray ring, and for enemies, a bright red mark, etc.

After several days of integration, the network formed by his perception rune was gradually taking effect. Not only had his basic perception range increased to 200 meters, but he had also mastered the control method of the perception "Radar".

He could control the blood - qi to flow within the rune along a certain route, thereby strengthening the perception range. Through experimentation, with his current strength, when fully exerted, he could sense the blood - qi within a range of up to 1000 meters at the farthest. Of course, the farther the distance, the more blurred the perception.

Once Su Hao stopped actively controlling the blood - qi, the perception range would return to the basic 200 meters.

"I didn't make a wrong choice. This is a life - saving skill! In this way, my survival ability will be greatly improved!"

However, Su Hao was really eager for the beast patterns collected on the third floor of the Lingyun Library. He wanted to collect all of them into the system for research. But there was an old man who seemed a bit dull guarding there all year round. It was impossible to sneak in unnoticed and take a look at each rune. The key was that he didn't want to conflict with the academy's staff.

The reason why he was eager for other runes was that he had always had a doubt. Why could runes produce such strange effects? What secrets were hidden in their complex structures?

If he didn't figure this out, it was like there was a hand constantly scratching at his heart, making him feel itchy.

Now, although he had a perception rune, he couldn't obtain useful information from its complex lines at all.

"I still need to collect more runes. As long as there are enough sample data, I'm sure I can crack the secrets hidden in them."

Su Hao firmly believed that no matter how mysterious the runes were, they would follow certain laws and principles of the universe. Special effects didn't occur out of nowhere. As long as he kept learning new knowledge, one day he would be able to unlock their mysteries.

Su Hao first took stock of the money he had left: 2 gold coins and 35 silver coins.

Then he left the academy and wandered around the streets and alleys of Lingyun Town.

Thinking of Wu Yuntian's shabby single - layer clothes and padded jacket, which let in the wind every winter and made him look cold, Su Hao first went to a clothing store. He picked out two sets of clothes according to Wu Yuntian's figure, one set of summer clothes and one set of winter clothes.

He chose the best ones, and it cost him 20 silver coins in total.

After thinking for a while, he bought a bed of bedding, which cost another 10 silver coins.

He then went to a weapons store to buy some maintenance essential oils and repair tools for weapons and armors, spending 35 silver coins.

Finally, he stocked up on a lot of cooking spices, salt, and a barrel of fruit wine, which cost 10 silver coins.

In total, he spent 75 silver coins.

When he returned to the Martial Arts Academy again, the huge package on his back was almost three times the size of his body.

...

The next day, after getting everything ready, Su Hao carried a giant package and met Xiaopang and He Qingqing outside He Qingqing's dormitory.

When Xiaopang and He Qingqing saw such a big package on Su Hao, they both opened their mouths wide. Xiaopang looked shocked and said, "Xiangwu, what's in this? Are you moving?"

The packages of Xiaopang and He Qingqing were not small either, but they were dwarfed in comparison to Su Hao's.

He Qingqing said, "Xiangwu, is this package heavy? I don't have much stuff. Let me help you carry some."

Su Hao jolted the package, adjusted the center of gravity, and then smiled. "No need. It's just some daily necessities for my father. This weight is nothing."

The weight of the package was indeed negligible to Su Hao. He could even run a few laps around Lingyun Town with the package on his back without getting out of breath.

Xiaopang immediately looked troubled. "I forgot to bring a gift for my dad. What should I do?"

He Qingqing also looked conflicted. "I forgot too..."

Su Hao said, "It doesn't matter. What I have are just household items, not really gifts. Let's go!"

The three of them walked together to the academy gate and immediately saw He Jianyong and Lao Li waiting outside the gate. The two were smiling and waving at the three who came out.

However, to Su Hao's surprise, he spotted a familiar figure.

"Father?"

It was Wu Yuntian. He had thought Wu Yuntian wouldn't come.

"Dad!"

He Qingqing cheered and ran towards He Jianyong with excitement, grabbing He Jianyong's arm.

He Jianyong looked at his grown - up daughter with affection and couldn't help but sigh. She had grown so big and become more reserved. A few years ago, she would have jumped up and hung around his neck when she ran over.

He Jianyong reached out to take He Qingqing's package and said, "Qingqing has grown a lot taller!"

Xiaopang was much more reserved. He walked up to Lao Li with a hint of pride and said, "Dad, can you tell what's different about me?"

Lao Li reached out and patted Xiaopang on the head, took the package, and said with a laugh, "What else could you be? Still my son!"

Xiaopang got anxious. "Can't you tell? I'm already a mid - level ordinary martial artist!"

Then he got another pat on the head from his father.

On Su Hao's side, it was relatively calm.

Su Hao stepped forward with a delighted expression and said, "Father, has this year been going well?"

Wu Yuntian still had that calm look. He carefully examined Su Hao. Seeing his son, who was not even up to his shoulder, standing in front of him full of energy, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad."

Then he reached out to take the giant package on Su Hao's back.

Su Hao immediately stepped aside and said, "No need. I can handle it myself. It's just some bedding. It's not heavy."

Wu Yuntian nodded.

Seeing that Su Hao could carry his own package, He Qingqing thought that she shouldn't let her dad carry her small package either.

So she immediately snatched her package back from He Jianyong's hand and said, "Dad, give me my package back. I'll carry it myself!"

Xiaopang scratched his head in embarrassment and followed suit. "Dad, I'll do it myself!"

Su Hao was speechless. Even carrying a package could turn into a competition. The world with humans was really scary in the same way.

He Jianyong looked at his empty hands speechlessly, exchanged a glance with Lao Li and Wu Yuntian, shook his head, and said, "Let's go!"

The six of them left the city gate, took a look back at the towering city wall, didn't linger, and directly followed the path towards Chashanshao.

After gradually getting farther away from Lingyun Town, the three warriors immediately became more vigilant, on guard against any fierce beasts that might suddenly appear.

Although this was still within the scope of Lingyun Town, elite - level fierce beasts would still occasionally wander around here to look for food. Ordinary people were often attacked and killed.

Suddenly, Su Hao frowned. The "Radar" showed that ten unfamiliar blood - qi sources appeared 200 meters ahead, on both sides of the road, motionless.

No, not all of them were strangers. Two of them had records.

Su Hao quickly checked the information. One was Dan Sui, a mid - level ordinary martial artist, and the other was a passer - by he had met outside the academy, a high - level elite martial artist.

They were coming for him!

A month ago, he had kicked Dan Sui's crotch in the academy. Now they were surely here for revenge. Judging from the situation, they intended to ambush and kill him in the wild.

Su Hao immediately checked the information of the other eight people. They were all high - level elite martial artists.

"What should I do?" Su Hao slowed down and thought about countermeasures.

If it were just him alone, he could just charge forward with a knife. But now with Xiaopang and He Qingqing, who had no self - protection ability, it was a bit troublesome.

The two of them had no chance of survival under the ambush of high - level elite martial artists.

He had no problem attacking or killing people, but taking care of Xiaopang and He Qingqing at the same time, with his current combat experience, he wasn't sure he could do it with absolute certainty.

Wu Yuntian noticed Su Hao's abnormality and turned his head. "What's wrong, Xiangwu?"图像生成帮我写作AI 搜索AI 阅读学术搜索解题答疑音乐生成更多
