Chapter 16 Test
Chapter 16 Test
Standing in the stance and reaching the void realm, and achieving minor mastery of leg techniques—this is the testament to Lu Hao's efforts over this period. Next, as long as he masters his fist techniques to a minor mastery and adds some use of his sword techniques, Lu Hao is ready to take on missions to earn kill points.
I believe this period of time will not be too long.
That evening, Lu Hao shared his achievements with his mother and subtly hinted at his desire to engage in real-world combat and carry out missions for the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
As Lu Hao expected, he was rejected. Bai Qiuyao rejected him because he was not strong enough. Lu Hao didn't say anything more, after all, his current strength was indeed still lacking.
However, if he could make further breakthroughs in his fist techniques, and add swordsmanship and weaponry, Lu Hao was confident he could persuade his mother.
At the same time, Lu Hao also asked his mother to prepare a battle sword for him. A D-grade alloy would be sufficient to deal with a lower-rank martial artist.
In the following days, Lu Hao focused more on practical combat. The teaching sessions that were held every morning were almost all turned into one-on-one combat sessions. In the afternoon, Lu Hao practiced his swordsmanship, and in the evening, he tempered his bones.
Such a fulfilling life! Before I knew it, five days had passed.
Lu Hao was especially happy today because he had successfully reached a minor level of mastery in his fist techniques and had also made considerable progress in his swordsmanship.
This means that Lu Hao is currently in a leading position among first-year martial arts students of the same level, thanks to the enhancement brought by his three bone tempering sessions.
Lu Hao's blood and qi are equivalent to the peak of the first grade. While they may be stronger than him in basic combat techniques, their strength is limited. However, with his stance training in the Void Realm, Lu Hao is basically invincible.
After all, even among martial arts masters, there are very few who can reach the Void Standing Realm in terms of stance ability, and most of them are only at the second or third rank.
Therefore, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lu Hao's strength is now that of a top martial arts master. With such strength, his mother should agree to his idea of gaining practical combat experience.
So after dinner, Lu Hao told his mother about his plan to do a mission.
"Mom, I want to join your detective agency and do missions. My skill improvement has started to slow down. Only in actual combat can I improve significantly."
"No, I disagree. You're still a senior in high school. Those tasks aren't for you yet. Besides, you're talented; you can cultivate at home."
Bai Qiuyao immediately rejected Lu Hao's offer to come to the Detective Bureau for a mission. As the director, she knew best what these missions entailed, and she didn't want her son to take any risks.
"Mom, no martial artist can become a master by training at home. I'll have to walk this path sooner or later, so the sooner I start, the sooner I can grow up."
"Besides, I've already reached the first rank, and my fist and leg techniques are at a minor level of mastery. Even my stance training has reached the Void Realm. Those martial arts students who come to your bureau to do missions are not even as strong as me."
"If they can go, why can't I? Besides, do you really want to raise your son to be a martial arts expert?"
In order to gain his mother's approval, Lu Hao had no choice but to speak more forcefully. He understood his mother's worries, but in this world, you couldn't control your destiny unless you became stronger.
He doesn't want to be at the mercy of others in the future.
"But how old are you? Those who go to the bureau to do missions are all years older than you. Besides, the missions at the bureau aren't that simple. Those martial artists who have committed crimes aren't easy to deal with. What if something happens to you?"
Although Bai Qiuyao knew from Lu Hao's previous subtle hints that he wanted to go on a mission and confront the dark side of martial artists, she was still afraid when it really came to this. She was afraid that her last son would also die in an accident.
After all, as a mother, who could bear to let their child face those vicious and dangerous individuals? Looking at Lu Hao in front of her, Bai Qiuyao felt just like she was seeing Lu Tianbai in the past—equally energetic and full of potential.
"Mom, there's no escaping it. Since I chose to become a martial artist, this is something I'll have to face sooner or later. At least for now, you can protect me for a while."
"I will take good care of myself. At the beginning, I did missions with some Wuhan University students who were also doing missions. Their presence greatly improved my safety."
Bai Qiuyao remained silent for a long time...
Just like Lu Hao said, once you've chosen to embark on this path, you'll have to face it sooner or later.
Now that she's my mother, she can still help me out, but if I were outside, I'd be completely helpless.
"Sigh... Alright, Mom agrees to your request, but you must pass Mom's test first. Only then can I feel at ease letting you do the mission. Otherwise, I absolutely will not let you do the mission."
Bai Qiuyao sighed and said that she wanted Lu Hao to grow a little more before he officially took this step.
"Okay, no problem, I'll definitely pass. But Mom, what kind of test is it? How difficult is it? Can you give me a hint beforehand?"
Seeing that his mother had relented, Lu Hao quickly agreed. As for the test, his mother would definitely have her own way of doing it, and with his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to pass.
"You'll find out what the test is tomorrow, but Hao'er, you must promise Mom you'll take good care of yourself."
"Yes, I know, don't worry, Mom."
Bai Qiuyao got up and took out an alloy knife from her room.
"Here you go, this is the D-grade alloy ultimate move sword you requested. It was specially forged for missions, right? You wouldn't need a sword this strong for regular practice."
"This is a large ringed sword, perfect for pairing with your 'Bloodthirsty Berserker Blade.' Sigh... I don't know if it was right or wrong to let you embark on the path of a martial artist."
Lu Hao took the large ring-handled sword from his mother. Unlike ordinary large ring-handled swords, this sword did not have the iron rings used to increase its weight, and both sides of the blade were filled with blood grooves for bleeding.
The knife is 3 feet 5 inches long, the handle is 7 inches long, the blade is 2 feet 8 inches long, 4 inches wide, and the back is 4 fen thick. As for the weight, it is a minor issue for Lu Hao.
After all, as a martial artist, Lu Hao has the function of qi and blood, so he doesn't need to increase his weight to increase his power. In order to make killing quick, his blood bar is deep and wide.
Lu Hao picked up the large ring-handled sword with great excitement. After all, he would be relying on it to kill enemies for a long time to come, so he was very fond of this weapon.
"Don't worry, Mother, I will be extremely careful."
After chatting with his mother for a while, Lu Hao took his broadsword and went into the training room to start practicing.
After all, the knives he used before were just ordinary blades, neither in quality nor weight as good as this large ring sword. He would be facing his mother's test tomorrow, so he needed to familiarize himself with the weapon today.
Otherwise, even the slightest error could lead to a greater setback.
