Chapter 12 Bloodbath with the Mad Blade
Three days later. At the moment of parting.
"Hao'er, listen to your mother at home, don't make her angry, and focus on your cultivation."
Lu Jingxuan said.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll listen to Mom at home. Wherever you go, please be careful and stay alert."
"Don't worry, your dad has been there for a long time, it's perfectly safe and there's no problem."
Lu Hao nodded and said nothing more, leaving the rest of the time to his mother.
"I'll send my 'Bloodthirsty Blade' to Hao'er tonight. He wants to practice swordsmanship, and I happen to practice swordsmanship myself, so I can give him some pointers later."
"...But your swordsmanship is too reckless, isn't it? If Hao'er practices it, what if something happens to him..."
"Sigh... I've noticed over the past three days that this kid has figured out quite a bit. He's definitely going to follow in his brother's footsteps. Let him train, at least he'll have a fighting chance against stronger enemies."
"..."
During these three days, his father took Lu Hao around to have fun. Apart from the normal morning and evening combat training, everything else was put aside, and all that was left was to play with his father.
The happy life passed quickly; separation was the norm, and Father had to return to guard the underground cave.
Lu Hao wasn't too reluctant to leave. He believed that his progress would accelerate, and he would naturally be able to see his father then.
In the afternoon, Lu Hao returned to the familiar slaughterhouse. After three days of adjustment, he was less anxious and relaxed a bit, but he still needed to work hard.
Arriving at the assembly line, Lu Hao saw familiar faces. The pigs lined up and came forward. With a swift stroke of his knife, a cheerful voice reminded him that he had gained 2 kill points.
In one afternoon, Lu Hao reverted to his cold-blooded butcher state, reaping the lives of nearly a hundred pigs and gaining 200 kill points.
In the evening, after dinner,
"Hao'er, here you go. Find some time to start cultivating. First, build a solid foundation, and it will be much easier later."
Bai Qiuyao handed a USB drive to Lu Hao and said.
"Mom, what's this?" Lu Hao asked, taking the plate.
"Didn't you say you wanted to practice swordsmanship? This is a swordsmanship technique created by your father. It's a mid-grade combat technique. Although you can't use it yet, you can start practicing it in the early stages. It will be much easier once you reach the third grade."
"Huh? Dad practices swordsmanship too? How come I didn't know that?"
Lu Hao was full of question marks. He had no idea that his father also used a knife and had even created his own fighting style.
"Your dad has always used a knife, but he rarely comes back, and when he does, he doesn't bring a knife. You've never seen him use it, so you don't know what weapon he specializes in. You two are a family tradition, both using knives."
"However, Hao'er, if you practice this fighting technique, promise your mother that you must be absolutely certain of success when using the third strike, or that you have a trustworthy teammate by your side."
Seeing his mother's worried expression, Lu Hao quickly agreed. Although he didn't know what the third strike of the battle technique was, he knew from his mother's worry that this third strike was very unusual.
I took the USB drive back to the training room, inserted the seven drives into the projector, and my father's image appeared on the screen.
The father in the video is like a true master. You can feel his aura and the demeanor of a master even through the screen. This is the kind of aura that comes from fighting.
Instead of being the nice guy who's been spending the last two days with Lu Hao.
Bloodbath Berserker
This is the mid-grade battle technique created by my father himself. There are also higher-grade battle techniques such as "Ninefold Battle Blade" and "God-Slaying Blade", which he created after breaking through to the Grandmaster level by combining his spiritual power.
Putting aside the actual effect, the name is just too high-profile, like "Godslayer," which shows that the father was ambitious when he was young.
After making a brief complaint about the name of the battle tactic, Lu Hao continued to watch the video and learn the tactic attentively.
Bloodbath Blade only has three strikes.
Each strike unleashes a greater amount of energy and vitality than the last, with the final strike generating almost four times the energy and vitality of the first. If one's control over energy and vitality were higher, this final strike might even reach the level of a special move.
However, to fully unleash the third strike, one must wait until reaching the third rank before using it, since most of the bones are not fully tempered and the blood and qi are not very high before reaching the third rank, the body may not be able to withstand it.
Now, Lu Hao is learning the first strike. Listening to his father's explanation, Lu Hao has gained some understanding. The Bloodbath Mad Blade is all about momentum.
One strike after another, the third strike reaching its peak, unleashing all of his vital energy. This looked like a desperate move, a fight to the death. If the opponent wasn't dead after three strikes, he would be the one to die.
No wonder the third strike could reach the level of a special move. Moreover, the mother told him that he could only use the third strike when he was confident or when there were teammates present. After the third strike, he would be at the mercy of others.
Looks like Dad's a ruthless one. It's either you die, or I die. Three stabs and he's completely drained of life. It's all up to fate.
However, this suits Lu Hao perfectly, as he can recover his health and mana using kill points.
When the time comes, you can unleash the third strike multiple times in the underground cave. This way, those of the same level will be no match for you, and even those of a higher level can put up a fight thanks to the effect of this third ultimate move.
This is practically a battle tactic tailor-made for me! When facing a fourth-rank enemy, I can unleash over thirty strikes, and the enemy will probably be completely numb.
After mastering the "Blood Battle Mad Blade," I will become a genius capable of fighting beyond my level, instead of still being a Qi and Blood Warrior as I am now.
This gave Lu Hao even more motivation.
Listening to my father's teachings, which were explained in great detail and demonstrated step by step, I also incorporated techniques such as the control of qi and blood and the ability to generate bursts of energy.
Lu Hao imitated his father's movements, breaking them down into steps and beginning to chop and slash, building up his momentum.
Following his father's movements, he circulated his qi and blood, holding the knife with both hands.
With a soft shout, he slashed fiercely at a piece of bluestone used for practice in the training room.
"Boom..."
The bluestone was broken into many small pieces by the action of qi and blood.
Comparing this to the footage in the father's video, the clean cut is striking.
This means that the father's control over Qi and blood is far superior to his.
After all, with low control over Qi and Blood, the effect of chopping is that Qi and Blood are dispersed, causing the bluestone to crack into multiple pieces. If the control over Qi and Blood is high enough, even if one cannot cut in two with one stroke like one's father, one can still cut multiple pieces with one stroke instead of shattering into countless fragments.
So Lu Hao began to practice slashing incessantly. Since killing points could restore his health, Lu Hao was not stingy with his health at all. He controlled his power with each slash, trying his best to unleash his health to the tip of the blade while maintaining control over his health.
...crackling and popping...
On such a quiet night, the sword was cleaved away one by one, and only the scattered bluestone on the ground witnessed the boy's sweat.
