My Divine Diary Chapter 29: Leaving

Su Hao gave a low yell and once again attacked Wu Yuntian, punching towards the chest.

Seeing Su Hao straightforwardly charging, Wu Yuntian couldn’t help his mouth from twitching. Such a reckless attack, if at any other time, he would have ended the battle with a single slash.

Wu Yuntian strong resisted the urge to slash with his blade at the charge. Instead he reached out his hand to block the fist.

“Bang!”

Su Hao didn’t think his fist would do much, he followed up with a kick.

Wu Yuntian raised his hand to catch it, wanting to catch Su Hao’s ankle, but he hadn’t thought the force would be so strong, causing his hand to go numb and he wasn’t able to steadily hold it, and was even pushed back two steps.

Su Hao grabbed the opportunity to chase victory.

“Shadow Step!”

Su Hao’s combat skill activated, suddenly he slipped over to Wu Yuntian, raising his arm for an elbow strike. His shadow step with the added elite blood qi had explosive speed.

“Bang!”

Wu Yuntian blocked Su Hao’s elbow then quickly retreated, creating a distance between them. His face had become serious.

Su Hao wouldn’t give the enemy a chance to adjust. Since he had the advantage, then he needed to think of ways to continue increasing the gap until victory.

“Shadow Step!” Su Hao approached Wu Yuntian from left to right, once again using his speed advantage to attack Wu Yuntian.

Intense close combat unfolded in this open space, bits of rocks flew out, the any falling leaves that got within three meters were blown away by a powerful wind.

The more Wu Yuntian fought the more solemn he became. He discovered his strength was a bit weaker than his own son’s. His speed and elite blood qi quantity were both inferior. Only by relying on his stronger physical body and experience was he able to suppress Su Hao. If Su Hao grew taller and thicker, then he wouldn’t necessarily be able to win.

The previous period of time, he was just a high-level common warrior, and the gap between them was almost insurmountable. Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, Su Hao would be able to almost compete with himself. This was an incredulous matter.

Not longer after, because Su Hao was reckless, Wu Yuntian was able to take advantage of a flaw in the attacks and he was pulled by his wrist and lost his balance. Then he was lifted up and his back kicked, sending him flying far away.

Su Hao managed to get his hands out before landing and he stood up after a somersault.

Panting heavily, he rubbed his aching hands and feet that were aching from the battle. Su Hao conceded defeat: “Father you’re too amazing.”

Su Hao’s words were completely sincere. Through fighting with Wu Yuntian, he learned many skills for close combat.

Wu Yuntian said with a rare smile: “Not too far in the future, I won’t be your opponent. Right now, do you know what level you’ve reached?” Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

Su Hao mulled over what he had comprehended during the battle. He nodded: “I should be a high-level elite warrior who is just slightly lower than father. But didn’t I just enter elite warrior? It seems a bit incredulous.”

Wu Yuntian agreed: “It’s good that you think it’s incredulous.”

Su Hao was still thinking back to the feeling of the fight. He couldn’t say he loved it, but he didn’t hate it either. He only felt the joy of growing through the battle.

Wu Yuntian suddenly said: “Xiangwu, you’re already 9 right?”

Su Hao nodded: “A bit over 9 years old.”

“You’ve already reached the standard. So I’ll plan to wait nine months and send you to Lingyun Town’s Lingyun Warriors Academy to study.” Wu Yuntian turned his head towards Lingyun Town.

“Lingyun Warriors Academy?” Su Hao perked in interest.

Wu Yuntian nodded: “That’s right. Back in the day, I also went there to study for a while. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to study the full four years before leaving in the middle.”

Wu Yuntian paused for a bit before continuing: “There’s really nothing else I can teach you. To continue upwards towards master warriors isn’t something that I know how to do.

But this world is very big. It’s not limited to just what you see here. There are many things waiting for you to discover and learn.

Speaking truthfully, you probably won’t learn too much going to Lingyun Warrior Academy. The reason why I want to send you is I’m hoping that you can systematically learn the theories behind martial arts cultivation. This point is very important, but I can’t give it to you.”

After saying all this, he turned towards Su Hao: “What do you think?”

Su Hao immediately said: “Okay.”

Inwardly, he was really looking forward to it. He finally would leave Cha Mountain Outpost and see the outside world. The current him was no longer a child who couldn’t protect himself. Now he was a high-level elite warrior. When placed on the outside, he could still be considered as an outstanding figure.

“Oh yeah.” Wu Yuntian seemed to remember something and reminded: “In the outpost, Qingqing and Old Li’s son Cunzhi are older than you and have also met the requirements and should be joining the same year as you. At that time, you have to take care of them.”

“What?” Su Hao was shocked. He had to take care of children while going to study?

……

Two months later, Su Hao digested the explosive power from his sudden breakthrough to elite warrior. He could control and move the elite blood qi at will.

Su Hao according to his body’s state, had a newer updated body status information:

“Age: 9 years 7 months;

Height: 149 cm;

Weight: 50KG

Physical status: Healthy;

Rank: High-level elite warrior;

Elite blood qi: 31;

Combat skills: Basic swordsmanship (Proficient), Basic footwork (Proficient); Shadow Step (Proficient), Horizontal Slash (Proficient), Sneaky Stab (Proficient), Forceful Fist (Proficient), Collision (Entry), Shield Strike (Entry), Jumping Cleave (Entry);

Variable Control: Blood Qi Strengthening Function (Proficient), Muscle Strengthening Function (Proficient), Bone Strengthening Function (Entry), Organ Strengthening Function (Not yet started), Five Senses Strengthening Function (Not yet started)

”

From the above, the biggest change in the past year was the elite blood qi and the number that followed “31”. It indicated the amount of elite blood qi was equivalent to the amount obtained from converting all the common blood qi in his body thirty-one times. He used the amount obtained from using all the common blood qi as the “1” unit of elite blood qi.

His conversion was very fast. He could do a full conversion once daily. To go from 0 to 31 needed only 31 days of time to complete.

On the other hand, a normal person would need around ten days to accumulate enough common blood qi to convert once. In comparison, it was easy to see Su Hao’s pervertedness.

There was also “Shadow Step”. It was originally “skilled” and now it was “proficient”. These two month he would would occasionally fight Wu Yuntian, and with some insight, shadow step broke through to the next level.

While he used shadow step, he could during battle, he could change direction at will, like a shadow, making his opponent unclear which direction he would appear in next.

Of course, his height had increased a bit, but it was stuck at 149cm. His weight reached 50KG. Even the amount of common blood qi had increased, which was gratifying.

Today was the day to report to Lingyun Warriors Academy. Su Hao already packed up his essential daily necessities and could leave at any time.

The distance between Cha Mountain Outpost and Lingyun Town was not far, only half a day’s walk to get there.

Including Su Hao, there were five people in the group. Little lady He Qingqing, little fatty Li Cunzhi, He Qingqing’s father He Jianyong, little fatty’s father Old Li, and Su Hao.

Wu Yuntian was very relaxed because his son Wu Xiangwu’s fighting strength was about the same as his own, so he didn’t worry.

He Jianyong and Old Li weren’t as big-hearted as Wu Yuntian. They weren’t able to relax and let their daughter and son run outside and insisted on personally send them there.

Before leaving, Wu Yuntian handed a bag to Su Hao: “This was bought with your three years of spoils money. Take good care of it. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough to use.”

Su Hao received the money bag. It was the first time he had come into contact with this world’s money. Curiously he pulled out a silver coin and asked: “Is this a silver coin?”

“This is called a silver dollar. It can be exchanged for 100 copper dollars. 100 silver dollars can be exchanged for 1 gold dollar. You can use it when you arrive at Lingyun Town. Oh, if that’s not enough…”

Su Hao looked expectantly at Wu Yuntian.

Wu Yuntian said: “I also don’t have any more!”

Su Hao froze.

“Okay. I’m heading out.” Su Hao put it away.

Su Hao’s first time leaving this small village.

“I have some expectations!” Su Hao murmured with a smile.

“What?” He Qingqing who had been paying attention to Su Hao subconsciously asked.
