Chapter 145 The Three Scoundrels
For the next ten days, Lu Hao went to class every day, which surprised many of his classmates and even some of his substitute teachers.
After all, Lu Hao hadn't attended many classes since the start of his freshman year. However, the other students all knew how capable Lu Hao was, so no one said anything, especially after the April rankings were released.
Everyone held Lu Hao in even greater awe, and even many of the instructors were somewhat shocked, considering they were only fifth-rank martial artists.
Since Lu Hao can kill a sixth-rank official, he really won't learn anything from their classes.
Moreover, Lu Hao attended classes steadily every day for the past ten days, and ate three meals a day just like a normal person.
All the students felt something was off, and even the teacher thought something was wrong with Lu Hao, so she asked Lü Fengrou to come and handle it.
Having no other choice, Lu Hao had to say that he had just broken through, and that the breakthrough was too fast. He planned to take a few days to calm down and then go down to the underground cave with Qin Fengqing and the others.
Let Lu Hao get away with it like that. After all, Lu Fengrou didn't see anything wrong with him. She could tell that Lu Hao had broken through to the fifth rank and had a powerful aura and a strong killing intent. So it was good to let things settle down for a while.
She assumed that Lu Hao's murderous intent came from the Lansway Caverns.
However, Lü Fengrou guessed one thing wrong. While some of the killing intent emanating from Lu Hao did come from Lancewell, most of it came from the four years of battles in the Dharma Space.
After all, Lu Hao had killed several thousand mirror images there, not just those above, and they were all quite powerful. The killing intent of these images was preserved in the Dharma Space, even though Lu Hao had restrained it considerably.
Otherwise, if it were fully unleashed, even a grandmaster would be shaken. In four years of continuous killing, even a grandmaster had never been this crazy.
Fortunately, as Lu Hao's human emotions returned, he became more and more at ease in the past ten days. Now, no one would discover his true identity if Lu Hao walked down the street.
I just felt that this young man was very handsome and had a great presence; that's about it.
May 5st, at the main gate of Magic and Martial Arts University
Lu Hao waited for quite a while before Wang Jinyang finally arrived.
Upon meeting Wang Jinyang, Lu Hao immediately recognized his level of cultivation. Wang Jinyang had reached the peak of the fourth rank, advancing from the middle stage to the peak in just three months. Even with sufficient resources, he could be considered a prodigy.
"Old Wang, you've already reached the peak of the fourth rank? That was fast!"
"Lu Hao, you've reached the fifth rank?"
Wang Jinyang observed Lu Hao for a while and then remained silent.
"Yeah, they reached the fifth rank so easily. I wonder if cultivating so fast will damage their foundation."
Lu Hao said with a smile, as if he was genuinely worried.
"Pervert—no, I remember back in February you were at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, just like me? Now I'm at the peak of the fourth rank, and you're at the fifth rank. During this time, you went to support Lancewell, while I've been in seclusion."
Wang Jinyang said with a constipated look on his face.
"So what? Talent is just unreasonable. Are you envious? Jealous? Hateful?"
Lu Hao said with a smile, after all, there are very few situations where Wang Jinyang can get food.
"So, what level of combat strength have you reached?"
"Combat strength has also improved slightly, slightly improved."
Lu Hao continued with a smile, "Old Wang really knows how to ask questions."
"..abnormal--"
Wang Jinyang opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only managed to utter two words.
Even more powerful than a prodigy is a monster, and even more powerful than a monster is a freak. Lu Hao is a freak.
Three months, not three years. You've not only broken through to the fifth rank, but your combat strength has also improved significantly.
If those people who only manage to make a small breakthrough every six months knew this, they might as well just bang their heads against a wall and die.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. What about Qin Fengqing? Is he still in seclusion?"
Wang Jinyang decisively changed the subject. Asking any further would only hurt him. He had finally obtained the method from Lu Hao and worked together to kill a sixth-rank cultivator to condense some invincible power.
Compared to Lu Hao, Lu Hao was almost completely overwhelmed.
"Qin Fengqing is practicing combat techniques in the training room. After all, he hasn't been at his breakthrough for long, so he's still a bit unfamiliar with controlling his qi and blood."
Lu Hao stopped talking about his progress, fearing that if he continued, Old Wang would get angry.
As the two walked inside, Wang Jinyang asked a question.
"What level has Qin Fengqing reached?"
"He's already at the high-level of the fourth rank, and he'll probably be breaking through to the fifth rank soon. After all, once the heart is tempered, the remaining internal organs will be easier to temper."
And Old Wang, let me tell you, that guy is a werewolf! He used energy stones to blow up his own internal organs; that's why he progressed so quickly.
Lu Hao sighed. Although he had known for a long time that Qin Fengqing was ruthless to him, he was still shocked when he actually saw it. After all, that kind of willpower was something that ordinary people could not withstand.
After Lu Hao had taken a quick look at Qin Fengqing, he didn't go back, fearing he might witness something even more shocking.
"—That guy."
Wang Jinyang agreed with Lu Hao's words. After all, they were knowledgeable and knew that this cultivation method was indeed effective. However, the reason why no one tried it was because it was too painful and not something ordinary people could endure.
"He's really working incredibly hard. I can't even begin to admire his progress. I know the method, but I can't do it to that extent."
"This time we'll go down and make a fortune. We should have enough resources left over from before, and he'll be able to rest for a long time. Then he won't have to work so hard."
Lu Hao said.
The two quickly arrived at the training room. As soon as they entered the training room run by Qin Fengqing, they immediately saw Qin Fengqing practicing swordsmanship in front of a wooden puppet.
Lu Hao immediately recognized that Qin Fengqing's move exceeded his 34% control of Qi and Blood. It seemed this guy really had some skill, mastering a special move so quickly. However, he was still no match for Old Wang.
Wang Jinyang estimated that he had already mastered half of the Qi and Blood Control, and that was even with the fact that this guy spent a lot of time cultivating. He really envied this talent.
"Qin Fengqing, stop practicing. Old Wang is out of seclusion. Shall we head to the underground caves?"
"Let's go then. I'm so broke I'm practically penniless. I'm almost out of money after opening the training room. If I don't make a big score this time, I, Qin Fengqing, am not Qin." Qin Fengqing's eyes lit up as he saw Lu Hao and Wang Jinyang enter. He was truly broke; otherwise, he would still be in the energy room tempering his internal organs. He had no other choice but to come to the training room to hone his combat techniques.
"Lu Hao, you're not at the fifth rank now, are you? I heard about your achievements while I was in seclusion. You single-handedly killed a sixth rank while you were at the peak of the fourth rank. We were all in seclusion, so why were you the only one showing off in front of everyone?" Qin Fengqing asked while tidying up.
"Yes, I'm at the fifth rank now. I originally planned to go down into the underground caves to hone my combat skills, but then I ran into trouble in the Lanceway Caves, so I went to help out."
"Good, you can now solo a sixth-rank character. It seems our operation is much safer this time."
Although Qin Fengqing was also shocked by Lu Hao's progress, he thought more about currying favor with him, since the more powerful Lu Hao was, the safer they would be in the underground cave.
Standing at the entrance of the training room, Qin Fengqing shouted, "The Three Musketeers of Magic and Martial Arts, set out!"
