SWNOVELS Chapter 18
Chapter 18
In the evening.
Han Zhao stood in the courtyard with a calm expression. He kept practicing with his saber to train his muscles and bones.
However, his mind was not as calm as it seemed.
“It’s over! Why is this happening?”
“At this rate, I’ll break through to the Bone Tempering Realm in half a year at most. This speed is too exaggerated!”
His cultivation progress was too fast, and it was a little worrying.
In the previous simulation, when he broke through at the age of 19, Lu Yi focused on nurturing him and had the intention of letting him inherit his mantle. Later on, he even married his daughter to him.
Now, he could probably breakthrough at the age of 18.
Su Yun and Xu Ling had also used about two years to reach the Bone Tempering Realm. Both of them had the support of their families and had a large number of cultivation resources.
He had practiced for less than a year and a half and directly reached the Bone Tempering Realm.
It was a little ridiculous.
Although Lu Yi treated him very well, the results of the simulation were all based on the premise that there would not be any huge changes in reality. The future was constantly changing.
Even if Lu Yi did not suspect anything, his cultivation speed would definitely attract the attention of the other large factions in the city.
“I can only hide my progress first before letting Master Lu keep it a secret.” Han Zhao thought for a moment and thought of a way to deal with it.
Lu Yi usually checked his cultivation progress every two to three months. If he broke through in five months or half a year, he could tell Lu Yi two months later to prevent himself from being too shocked.
In addition, he asked Lu Yi to keep it a secret for him and tell them a few months later.
Such a breakthrough in two years was considered the progress of a regular genius.
“Junior Martial Brother Han!” Xu Ling, who had already left in advance, suddenly ran into the inner courtyard, panting.
Today, Xu Ling was wearing a black short-sleeved training suit. Her fair arms were exposed, but her muscles were not exaggerated. Instead, they looked very fleshy.
Perhaps it was because she moved too much that the bra wrapping cloth inside burst open. Her originally flat chest became different as she ran, and the fullness of her chest was about to burst out.
The training clothes that were originally very proper actually gave off a ‘sexy’ feeling.
[No matter how hard it is, you can’t let the kids suffer. Moreover, this is a rich woman. If you grasp it well, you can save 20 years of hard work.]
Han Zhao shifted his gaze and saw Zhang Tianwen’s eyes widen. He walked towards Xu Ling and blocked Zhang Tianwen’s line of sight.
“Junior Martial Brother Han! Thank you!”
Before Han Zhao could speak, Xu Ling grabbed his hand and looked at him excitedly.
“What’s wrong, Senior Sister Xu?” Han Zhao had a puzzled look on his face. At the same time, he gently retracted his hand.
“Eldest Senior Brother has agreed to be the Xu family’s registered elder!” Xu Ling’s face was flushed.
“This is Eldest Senior Brother’s own decision, not my credit.” Han Zhao did not take the credit, but Zhao Yuantu was recruited into the Xu family by Xu Ling. In that case, the pressure on her in the past few years would be much less. She could earn more money and give him more money. It was always a good thing.
Xu Ling clenched her fists tightly. “In short, thank you! I’m going to invite Eldest Senior Brother to a banquet tonight. Let’s go together.” contemporary romance
“This…” Han Zhao hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Alright.”
It would be a waste not to eat Xu Ling’s food.
“Su Yun, Senior Brother Zhang, you two too…” Xu Ling looked at the two people beside her.
“I have an appointment tonight. I’ll make a move first.” Zhang Tianwen cupped his fists with a tense expression. When he passed by Han Zhao, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at him.
“I’ll go home and change my clothes first.” Su Yun nodded and pointed at Xu Ling’s upper body. “You’d better go home and change your clothes too.”
“Me?” Xu Ling lowered her head and did not see her toes. She immediately cried out in surprise and covered her chest.
“I’m going to the backyard for a drink.”
Han Zhao turned around and left.
“What are you doing?!” Xu Ling’s scream and Su Yun’s teasing voice came from behind. “Wow! How dare you hide such a big thing? Let me touch you!”
Han Zhao quickened his pace.
…
Half a year later.
Han Zhao stood in his courtyard and casually brandished his saber.
Clang!
The wooden stake in front of him, which was as thick as two people’s arms, was cut in half by him. The incision in the middle was as smooth as a mirror.
[The proficiency of the Sword and Saber Duo has increased. The Saber Dao Aptitude has increased by five times. The Sword Dao Aptitude has increased by three times.]
A line of small words appeared on the system interface in Han Zhao’s vision.
His Saber Dao Aptitude had increased again!
Ten days ago, he had successfully broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm.
Martial Arts: Bone Shrinking Technique (Greater Mastery 97%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Bone Shrinking Disguise), Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Second Level Entry Level 5%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosion Level 2), Life Nurturing Technique (Second Level Small Mastery 96%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Body Strengthening Level 3)
Lu Yi had yet to specially teach him the second form of the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique. However, after watching Lu Yi guide Xu Ling and the others, he had already completely memorized it. All he lacked was the incantation corresponding to the saber technique.
Without the incantation, Han Zhao just couldn’t continue to increase the proficiency of the second move and increase his cultivation progress, but it didn’t affect the power of his saber.
As for telling Lu Yi two months later, it would not affect his cultivation because he could spend all his time cultivating the Life Nurturing Technique in these two months.
Due to the effect of the [Basic Master] Trait, his originally slowed cultivation speed doubled. On average, the progress of the Life Nurturing Technique could increase by about 2% every month.
Of course, it corresponded to the increase in his appetite and the consumption of silver.
Of the fifteen taels of silver that Fang Hongyun had given him, he had spent ten taels of silver as soon as he bought it and returned it to Edge Sharpening Manor. After all, the dagger and leather armor was on credit, it was not good to delay it for too long.
At the Xu family’s rice store, the silver Xu Ling had given him had been raised to two taels a month. It was very practical.
Two taels of silver was a normal amount that ordinary Bone Tempering Realm martial artists could obtain after registering their name.
Looking at Xu Ling at that time, she should have invited Zhao Yuantu to become the registered elder of the Xu family. Her situation had improved a lot.
Han Zhao only had less than seven taels of silver on hand. Because he ate more meat, his Mountain Splitting Saber Technique and Life Nurturing Technique had improved by leaps and bounds.
“Looks like I have to go back to my old job and randomly pick a lucky wanted criminal.” Han Zhao felt that being a Saber Hunter still had a path to wealth. For this reason, he specially took the time to cultivate the Bone Shrinking Technique he had obtained from Kuai Wei and cultivated it to the Greater Mastery stage.
It was not difficult for him to change his appearance now.
Song Que could make a comeback again.
In order to be more stable, he had only attacked once.
With his current strength in the Bone Tempering Realm and the Second Level Life Nurturing Technique, it was still unknown if he could match a quasi-Martial Master in the Blood Tempering Realm. However, when facing martial artists in the same realm, he was not afraid of anyone.
There could be no one more robust than him among the fugitives.
The only problem now was that he had to forge another long saber as Song Que’s personal saber in the future.
Otherwise, when ‘Song Que’ became famous, the Silver Frost Saber that Lu Yi gave him would become a piece of evidence.
As for the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique, if he obtained another saber technique manual, he would take the time to learn another saber technique.
In any case, with five times the aptitude for saber techniques and the increase in his realm, it would be much faster for him to learn low-level saber techniques.
After reaching the Bone Tempering Realm, it only took him nine days to cultivate the Bone Shrinking Technique to the Greater Mastery realm.
Thinking of this, Han Zhao left the house and found the neighbor’s child. He gave him five copper coins and asked him to deliver a message to the martial arts school.
In the following period of time, Han Zhao was prepared not to go to the martial arts school. The reason was naturally that he was about to break through and go earn money.
Ever since Zhao Yuantu joined the Xu family, the time he took to return to the martial arts school had been greatly shortened. The person who taught the newbies on behalf of Lu Yi was also Li Fei.
Without Zhao Yuantu around, Han Zhao was too embarrassed to freeload lunch every day, even though Lu Yi allowed it.
Now, it was time to make use of these two months to earn money.
