Chapter 199 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
After exchanging a few words, the three entered the energy passage and quickly passed through it, entering the underground cave.
Lu Hao immediately saw the familiar Immortal Source, and at the same time, he could more clearly feel the difference in energy between the underground cave and the human world.
If he doesn't use the killing point, it would take Lu Hao about five years to seal a door in the human world by absorbing energy and sealing it himself.
If the underground cave has sufficient energy, it would probably only take three years. Given this ebb and flow, it's not without reason that the underground cave is stronger.
No wonder so many martial artists have been cultivating in the underground caves. If Lu Hao didn't have the killing intent, he might have been cultivating in the underground caves too.
However, doing so carries considerable risk, as underground warriors frequently launch attacks on the city.
As Lu Hao felt the energy being absorbed by the Gate of the Three Burners, his recovery ability improved, and the effect of using Kill Points to recover gradually diminished for him.
Once you reach the seventh rank, you no longer need to kill to recover your health and mana, but recovering your spiritual power is still very useful.
"Lu Hao, shall we go on stage?"
Qin Fengqing looked around and said.
"No rush, let's go to the Magic Martial Arts outpost first and see if we can run into anyone we know. We don't know what the situation is outside, although there aren't any high-ranking people on the surface..."
However, there are definitely many high-ranking individuals watching us secretly. If we stand out too much, we will be targeted. We can't withstand the attacks of seventh-rank individuals. Before we are targeted, we must try to kill a batch of mid-ranking individuals, not just sixth-rank individuals, but all mid-ranking individuals we encounter.”
Lu Hao said that if he really encountered a seventh-rank, he could rely on his spiritual power to manifest, and his spiritual power would not be inferior, but his blood and qi would be much worse. He could only withstand two moves at most before he could not withstand it.
"Okay, no problem."
Qin Fengqing nodded and said, "The more underground warriors we kill, the better."
Even if Lu Hao didn't say anything, he would still kill all the underground warriors he encountered. After all, he still remembered the old principal's last words before he died: he and the underground world were mortal enemies.
"How about we lie in wait and wait? Qin and I will lure out the sixth-rank cultivators, and then you, Lu Hao, can strike from behind and kill them. This way, we can kill them quickly and make less noise than a head-on battle. However, we certainly won't be able to keep it a secret from them for long. They will eventually realize that a sixth-rank human prodigy has come in."
Wang Jinyang said.
"No problem, as long as it's not a sudden seventh-rank opponent, I can handle it. Let's take advantage of the fact that they don't know us yet."
"You two keep your combat strength at the fifth rank and keep slaughtering fifth-rank soldiers. Let the sixth-rank soldiers come over, and I'll secretly deliver a fatal blow."
Lu Hao thought for a moment and said, "The two sides fighting in the underground cave must be very familiar with each other now. Lu Hao and his two companions are the key to breaking the deadlock. They have the strength of the peak of the sixth rank, but no one knows it."
Qin Fengqing, who was standing nearby, also expressed her agreement.
Upon arriving at the Magic Martial Arts Academy's base, Lu Hao immediately spotted Tang Lion there.
Blood was still dripping from Tang Feng's boxing gloves, and he was panting heavily, with some wounds on his body.
"Teacher Tang, did you just finish fighting? Where is my teacher?"

"Why did you three come down? Didn't I tell you to go back and cultivate properly? The battlefield outside is still quite severe, and the three of you can't be of much help. Go back and cultivate." Tang Feng said seriously as he saw the three of them walk over. "Now, there are often sixth-rank battles on the battlefield outside, and high-level and peak battles are commonplace."
"Teacher Tang, we've all broken through, and our combat strength has increased—is that enough?"
Lu Hao walked over and sat down in the chair opposite him. As he spoke, he used his mental power to suppress Tang Feng.
"What?! Mental power manifested?! How did you do that?!"
Tang Feng was instantly suppressed by this spiritual power; it was no longer on the same level as his own, but a level higher.
Tang Feng instantly stood up, looking at Lu Hao in surprise. He was only one step away from the seventh rank—the manifestation of spiritual power. He had cultivated this for so many years, for so long…
His mental strength is only slightly over 700, which is far from being able to materialize.
"Yes, we've reached the sixth rank, and our spiritual power has materialized. We found a batch of resources before, and we exchanged some spiritual power treasures with the government, which is how we broke through. Wang Jinyang and Qin Fengqing have also broken through and can deal with sixth-rank beings. As long as the three of us act together and don't encounter any high-rank beings, we'll definitely be fine."
Lu Hao said with a smile.
Tang Feng looked at Lu Hao with mixed feelings. What he had failed to do for many years, Lu Hao had accomplished so easily.
"Your strength is indeed sufficient. The situation outside is indeed not good right now. For the past two months, you have faced Tianmen City's frenzied attacks."
We've also lost several Rank 6 instructors. I'm currently fighting a peak Rank 6 instructor. If the three of you are thinking of sneaking out, it won't be easy.
The outermost blockade is definitely guarded by high-ranking individuals, but they dare not act because of the battle and prestige of human grandmasters. The inner part is usually staffed by fourth and fifth-rank soldiers, with sixth-rank patrolling. Tang Feng explained that it was indeed as Lu Hao himself said. As long as he did not encounter a seventh-rank, he was safe. With just his spiritual power manifestation, dealing with a high-ranking sixth-rank was very simple. Only when the essence and blood were united could a sixth-rank resist a portion of it. The others would not last a single move against Lu Hao.
"Teacher Tang, we don't plan to go out either. We came down here to fight against sixth-rank cultivators from the underground dungeons. After all, we've all broken through quite a bit, and our combat experience has declined."
So this trip was specifically to deal with sixth-rank underground martial artists. By the way, Teacher Tang, where's my teacher?
"...Your teacher went to fight a seventh-grade underground martial artist in order to forcibly fuse her essence and blood. But don't worry, your teacher's safety is definitely not a problem. Wu Kuishan is with her."
Tang Feng said with a troubled expression.
Lu Hao nodded upon hearing this. With Wu Kuishan around, as long as no ninth-rank official came, there wouldn't be a problem. Even if a ninth-rank official did come, they could hold out until reinforcements arrived. It was just Lü Fengrou's crazy move that made Lu Hao shake his head. He hoped that this time she would understand the difference between high-ranking officials.
Don't go all out after breaking through. With Lu Hao's resources, breaking through is practically a sure thing. As long as we can persuade her, we can let her break through, and Magic Martial Arts will have another Grandmaster.
"Since you've decided to stay, I recommend you head towards the east gate. The northern battlefield is the main battlefield, and it's too easy for a seventh-rank official to spot and target you there."
You three should fight your way through the eastern battlefield first. There are a group of mid-grade enemies left behind by Dongkui City, as well as some from Tianmen City. That should be enough for you to kill them all. Although there are also high-grade enemies there, they are few, probably only one or two. As for the high-grade enemies in the north, five have been discovered and are currently holding the line. Who knows how many more are hidden. The three of you must be careful. If you encounter a situation you can't defeat, run away. Don't fight to the death. Once you reach the Grandmaster level, it won't be too late to come back."
Tang Feng explained the situation of the underground cave to Lu Hao.
"Alright, then we'll head east. Ms. Tang, you should rest first. If you run into my teacher, tell her not to go out. Just say I left some resources there so she can have a quickie."
"Okay, I'll tell Lü Fengrou."
