Chapter 126 The Critical Point! Learning Has Been Accomplished!

"Just accept it if it's given to you."

Su Hao was about to refuse again, but Master Liu spoke first: "The condensation of the eight blood vortexes is not easy, and it becomes increasingly difficult as you progress. So, while you've only recently broken through, hurry up and seize the opportunity. You should understand the principle of striking while the iron is hot, right?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hao also sighed slightly.

However, considering that this was something given to him by Master Liu, there wasn't much need to refuse it.

And these things are indeed a good compensation for that night.

Immediately,

Su Hao bowed again and accepted the cloth bag.

"Right, be careful in everything. The situation in the city has been turbulent lately. Also, tell Zhou that we can't let our guard down about Qingzhi Valley for the time being."

Liu Shi unusually told Su Hao some things.

This has never happened before.

"I understand! Then I'll take my leave!" Su Hao nodded.

Upon seeing this, Master Liu waved his hand and left the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Su Hao once again saw Mu Qianqian and Mu Bai looking at him.

This time, however, the look in these people's eyes was no longer one of disdain, but rather a complex mix of emotions.

In addition, Su Hao is now showing signs of being recognized by Master Liu, and his own strength has also reached the Iron Skin Mirror level.

Therefore, they no longer have any advantage in terms of either qualifications or potential.

If Su Hao can truly gain Liu Shi's favor and replace Tang Huang in his previous position.

Their status was beyond their reach.

At that time, Su Hao will have a true Bone Forging Realm martial artist standing behind him, whose words will carry some weight in the entire outer city.

However, their family does not yet have a Bone Forging Realm martial artist in charge, and they are mostly subordinate to the eight major families of the Martial Master Alliance.

In everything they did, they had to consider the reputation of the Eight Great Families and learn to flatter them. Although they were all from the inner city, they lived a very stifling life.

Among them, Mu Qianqian felt it the most deeply.

Her family was only able to survive because they lacked experts at the Bone Forging Realm and were also an affiliated force of the Yan family, one of the Eight Great Families.

This time, the marriage she was betrothed to was with a foolish young master from a direct descendant of the Yan family.

In order to curry favor with the Yan family, the family agreed to the marriage without even consulting her or asking for her opinion.

They're the kind of people you can't refuse.

The conditions given to her were that if she did not want to agree to the marriage, she could either marry a martial artist at the Bone Forging Realm who could bring security to her family.

Either break through to the third blood realm yourself, become a pillar of the family, contribute your strength to the family, and control your own destiny.

However, Mu Qianqian could not achieve either of these two things.

Marrying a Bone Forging Realm martial artist? They might not even look at her; at most, they'd just be playing around with her.

And he himself broke through to the third blood level?

It has been more than a year since it last broke through the metal mirror.

He broke through at the same time as Zhou Zhengtang.

But now the opponent has already broken through to the third level of blood, while she has only condensed four blood vortexes.

There's still a long way to go before reaching eight blood vortexes, as the difficulty of condensing blood vortexes increases as you progress.

At first, she thought that her talent was no different from that of Zhou Zhengtang and the others.

After all, everyone was at the same level of strength, so it was impossible to tell who was stronger or weaker, and no one actually fought.

But now Zhou Zhengtang has broken through the barrier without making a sound.

He himself was still struggling with the second blood level.

It's estimated that it won't be long before even Su Hao will be able to catch up with his progress.

So at that time, she also focused her attention on Tang Huang.

However, seeing how immature and childish the other person was, she gave up on the idea.

Although Tang Huang was talented, he wasn't her type, and she didn't want to spend her life with someone who was dim-witted and only knew how to use brute force.

So when she saw Su Hao's potential for growth, she quietly shifted her focus to Su Hao.

The other person's composure, resilience, and ever-present mystery were exactly what she was looking for. Furthermore, with Tang Huang expelled from the sect, Su Hao seemed poised to take his place…

If she can seize the opportunity, she might actually be able to control her own destiny in the future by relying on this relationship!

Although the other party had treated her like Zhou Zhengtang had just done, deliberately saying unpleasant things in front of him.

The purpose was probably to keep oneself from getting too close, while also being wary of oneself.

Although she was angry and cursed Su Hao in her heart, she also forgave his actions.

This also proves that Su Hao is intelligent, as he was able to guess the purpose of my approach.

That's why I did it on purpose!

Thinking of this, Mu Qianqian's gaze, fixed on Su Hao and Zhou Zhengtang's departing figures from the boxing academy, grew even more resolute.

……

"You mean Teacher Liu just told you these things?"

Inside the carriage, Zhou Zhengtang frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, Master Liu told Su Hao about his Zhou family and about Qingzhi Valley.

This made him feel extremely wary.

After all, Master Liu's status is unmatched by anyone else.

The other party's network of connections is not on the same level as that of these merchant families.

Now, he's using Su Hao's words to warn him to be careful.

There must be a reason for this!

However, perhaps for other reasons, it was not stated explicitly.

"Hmm!" Su Hao nodded. "However, he didn't tell me why, but coming from Master Liu, you know the weight of those words..."

Su Hao's thoughts are now similar to Zhou Zhengtang's.

Everyone thought that things might not go so smoothly at Qingzhi Valley.

"Damn it! Now that we have the official documents in hand, anyone who dares to violate them shouldn't blame us for being ruthless!"

Zhou Zhengtang snorted coldly, somewhat displeased.

He was not a cowardly person.

The Zhou and Ren families poured almost all their resources into taking over Qingzhi Valley, and only then did they reap the rewards they deserved.

Before they could even get started, one problem after another was already piling up.

Even his temperament didn't feel irritable.

If anyone tries to trip them up or obstruct them at this point, they shouldn't blame them for being ruthless.

Su Hao nodded silently to the side.

However, looking at Zhou Zhengtang, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Su Hao did not follow Zhou Zhengtang back to the Zhou residence.

Instead, he got off the carriage at Hongqiao Town, left alone, and returned to his residence.

Before we knew it, another half month had passed.

During this period, Su Hao lived a life that consisted almost entirely of going between two points: daily arduous cultivation and going into the inner city to buy exotic beast meat, specifically the fire-spotted deer meat.

During this period of arduous training, he focused all his efforts on the Crimson Blood Palm.

Therefore, the improvement of Crimson Blood Palm is the most obvious and the fastest, reaching the critical point of breakthrough!
