Capítulo 3: Am I That Fierce?
Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning.
Su Hao once again carried the Tang Saber and arrived at the Demonic Beast Forest. After all, there weren't many people in this place, so it was a good place for him to practice his saber secretly. It wasn't like the rooftop of an apartment, where there was a risk of being seen.
"Let's go further and take a look."
After saying this, Su Hao began to run through the forest. As his speed increased, a duststorm formed around him.
After being strengthened by the system, Su Hao's physical body had already left the range of an ordinary mortal.
As Su Hao continued to venture deeper into the forest, the tightly shut eyes of three Demonic Beasts in the forest suddenly opened. They could feel the aura of a human appearing in their own territory. The Demonic Beasts, who were already mortal enemies with humans, instantly unanimously walked toward Su Hao.
"..."
Su Hao expressionlessly looked at the three Demonic Beasts blocking his way. The auras of these three Demonic Beasts were much stronger than the level one Demonic Beasts he killed yesterday. They were all level two Demonic Beasts! Their cultivation bases were equivalent to human cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Gale Wolf, Purple Pupil Bull, Sword-Horned Tiger."
Su Hao easily found information about them in the illustrated book.
These three Demonic Beasts had yet to evolve. At most, their strength would reach the third level of Qi Refinement like the Fire Turtle yesterday.
After Su Hao finished speaking, the Gale Wolf directly turned into a black shadow and attacked him. Fortunately, Su Hao was already prepared. He took a step to the side and narrowly avoided the attack.
Subsequently, Su Hao quickly increased the distance between them. An intense sense of danger arose in his heart. If only one of these three came, he would be able to defeat them. However, if three came at once, it would be a little tricky.
However, he didn't have time to think, because the Gale Wolf had started moving again. The wind attribute gathered on its body and its green fur danced slightly. Then, it raised its head and roared, its aura suddenly increasing!
Although its cultivation level was still in the Third Layer of the Aura Refining Realm, its current strength was completely different from before.
The Gale Wolf stared fixedly at Su Hao, its pair of eyes filled with red threads. This was the natural hatred a Demonic Beast had towards humans. Its legs tensed up and in the next moment, it disappeared!
Su Hao's heart was filled with alarm. All of a sudden, the hairs on his back stood on end. Without any hesitation, he unsheathed the Tang Saber in his hand. The blade carried a trace of imperceptible blade aura as it slashed backwards!
With a ripping sound, the Gale Wolf's head flew high into the sky. Its pair of wolf eyes turned dull as its massive body lost its momentum and fell to the ground with a boom.
Su Hao and the other two Demonic Beasts silently looked at the corpse of the Gale Wolf. Su Hao never thought that he would actually be able to kill the Gale Wolf with a single slash. The other two Demonic Beasts never thought that the Gale Wolf would actually die just like that. Although they didn't have any intelligence, their bloodlines had the pride of Demonic Beasts. In their perception, Su Hao was just an ordinary person without any cultivation. Therefore, when they saw the Gale Wolf attacking, they only watched from the side. An ordinary person wasn't worth for them to attack together.
"Holy… I'm that strong?"
Su Hao was instantly dumbfounded. This strike of his was considered to be an emergency strike and it only contained 50% of his strength at most. However, merely this 50% of his strength had directly slashed the Gale Wolf and this caused him to be slightly shocked.
Actually, the Gale Wolf was unlucky. If it didn't want to bite off Su Hao's head, it might have died later.
"Mou!!!"
A strange cry pulled Su Hao's thoughts back. At the same time, Su Hao cursed himself. He was still fighting, yet he was thinking of something else. At the same time, he was also glad that the Purple Pupil Bull and the Sword Horned Tiger were also stunned by his blade strike. Otherwise, if they were to attack while he was thinking, he would most likely suffer some injuries.
Just as Su Hao came back to his senses, the bull lowered its head and aimed its sharp horn at him. In an instant, the small piece of ground beneath their feet trembled because of the bull's running. When the bull attacked, the Sword-Horned Tiger didn't remain idle either. Although its speed wasn't as fast as the Gale Wolf, it wasn't slow either. In an instant, it circled behind Su Hao. It wanted to attack Su Hao from both sides with the bull.
Su Hao gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist tightly. After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and bent his body slightly. He held his breath. At this moment, time seemed to slow down. After closing his eyes, he could feel two tyrannical auras attacking him.
Just when the bull and the Sword-Horned Tiger were only ten steps away from him, Su Hao moved! His saber moved! He drew his saber and sheathed it! His movements were smooth and natural without the slightest pause.
"Hu ~"
Su Hao opened his eyes and lightly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. In front of him and behind him were the headless Purple Pupil Bull and the Sword Horn Tiger. He had utilized that slash just now to its limit! In that instant, the heads of the Purple Pupil Bull and the Sword Horn Tiger were easily chopped off by him.
Looking at the corpses of the three Demonic Beasts, Su Hao couldn't hide his excitement. These three Demonic Beasts had just been purchased at a high price by someone. Once he sold these three Demonic Beasts, he would have made a killing! At the very least, he wouldn't have to worry about food and water for the next year or so. He could even transfer money to his parents to reassure them.
"I'll sort it out and find an empty space to practice my saber before going back."
Su Hao's attack on the other two Demonic Beasts had consumed a bit too much of his energy. It was a strike that he had to exert all of his strength in order to unleash. After unleashing it, he felt as if his entire body had collapsed. Even so, he still resolutely continued to practice. Otherwise, even with the help of the system's golden finger, if he didn't work hard, how could he compare to a cultivator?
After storing the valuable parts of the three Demonic Beasts into his backpack, Su Hao found an empty space. He sized up his surroundings and after confirming that there wouldn't be any Demonic Beasts or humans here, he threw down his backpack and started his daily practice.
"The mission for this stage is one thousand strikes and seven hundred strikes! Good luck!"
Su Hao's upper body was bare and his muscles were drenched in sweat. The hand holding the hilt of his blade trembled slightly but he continued to encourage himself. He would not give up until the end.
With his relentless efforts, the posture of him drawing his saber had been standardized. Almost every strike had met the requirements of the system.
However, as he continued to meet the requirements, Su Hao's blade force became sharper and sharper. However, it didn't form a true force. For example, Su Hao's current blade force was like a nurtured sword embryo. Once the nurturing was over, it would transform into a true supreme sword, sharp and unstoppable!
Just as Su Hao was immersed in the practice of drawing his saber again and again, when he finally reached the 999th strike, he suddenly felt something!
Then, his movements slowed down. He bent his knees slightly and slowly placed his right hand on the hilt of his saber. This time, he was not in a hurry to draw his saber. Instead, he closed his eyes. He did not know why he did this. Right now, he was only following his instincts.
Finally, at a certain point, he suddenly opened his eyes. There seemed to be a ray of light in his eyes! His right hand suddenly pulled out the blade! The blade slashed forward, causing a deafening explosion wherever it passed. A blade light slashed at the giant tree in front of him at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye!
This towering tree, which required five people to wrap their arms around it, had a crack in the middle of its body as the blade light streaked across. Then, the entire tree suddenly fell to the ground. Dust flew everywhere in an instant and the sound of the explosion spread throughout the entire forest!
After slashing out this blade, Su Hao directly sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. This blade used up all of his essence, energy, and spirit. This was the most powerful blade strike he could comprehend from his continuous practice!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the second phase of the mission. All attributes + 80. The next phase of the mission requires you to draw your saber 3,000 times!"
"Three thousand times, isn't that a little too much!"
When he heard the system's voice, Su Hao couldn't believe his ears. Before, it was fine if there were only 500 more blades but now there were 2,000 more. It was a little too much.
However, when he felt the heat that was gradually gushing out of his body, he stopped complaining because he could clearly feel that his body was undergoing a qualitative change. His muscles had become even sturdier and he could feel that his strength had multiplied by several times.
Su Hao slowly stood up. His exhausted stamina was once again replenished. He excitedly opened his personal interface.
[Host: Su Hao]
[Constitution: 140]
[Agility: 140]
Power: 140
Combat Strength: Level 7 Qi Refinement
"Nice! He actually reached the seventh level of the Refinement Stage this time!"
Su Hao clenched his fists in excitement and his entire body became even more energetic. He then looked at the sky, picked up the Tang Saber on the ground and once again drew the saber to practice. However, this time, every time he drew a saber, there would be a sonic boom and the originally faint sound of the saber gradually became clearer.
