My Divine Diarychapter 21: high-level common warrior

With He Qingqing’s and the other brats’ explanation, the surrounding warriors understood had had happened. They then looked at Su Hao with strange expressions. They didn’t dare to believe, they couldn’t determine whether or not it was true.

Su Hao looked to his father Wu Yuntian with pleading eyes. Wu Yuntian only frowned, who knew what he was thinking.

He could only embarrassedly explain: “Don’t listen to Qingqing and their tall tales. I only got lucky with my counter-attack. Just now, when the coyote leaped at me, it tripped just in the nick of time. I don’t know where I got the courage from, I grabbed the knife and slashed with it. Who would have thought I would coincidentally kill the coyote.”

A five year old child taking on a powerful coyote by himself was too startling for everyone and hard to believe. But if you add in a luck factor, it wasn’t the same. Killing a coyote relying entirely on luck was something everyone could accept.

All of the warriors seemed to accept Su Hao’s explanation.

“You’re lying!” He Qingqing shouted as soon as Su Hao had just finished speaking.

He Jianyong pulled He Qingqing away: “Qingqing, don’t say anything. It’s still dangerous. Lu Gao, bring these children back first!”

Saying this, he brought the warriors and began to scour the village to see if there were still any lingering coyotes.

……

The situation quickly passed. The story of Su Hao single-handedly killing a blue-eyed coyote passed through the village. They all believe Su Hao’s explanation of killing the coyote with luck, but even with luck, not everyone would be able to kill a coyote.

It should be known, the typical adult coyote’s strength was at the same level as a high level common warrior. For Su Hao to kill a coyote meant that Su Hao had at least a certain amount of strength. The term genius warrior began to spread through the Cha Mountain Outpost.

“Father, everyone in Cha Mountain Outpost knows that I’ve already started learning martial arts. Is that okay?”

After the incident, Su Hao was still cautious for a while. “The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it”. This was a familiar phrase. He knew that this world and the previous one weren’t the same. This was not a super safe place with law and order. The more talented a person was, the more they might be envied, and the more danger they could be in.

But truthfully speaking, having survived the crisis, Su Hao felt a great deal of relief. He knew he already had a certain amount of self-protection ability. In the future, there would be fewer accidents that could kill him.

Wu Yuntian looked over at Su Hao and shook his head: “This is Cha Mountain Outpost. There aren’t that many shady things. Don’t worry!”

Then he turned his head and looked serious at Su Hao: “Xiangwu, you obediently tell me. What level are you at now?”

Su Hao was also uncertain of his current position, so he said his guess: “Right now, my blood qi should have reached the limits of my body’s limits. I felt as if continuing to add blood qi would be harmful for my body.”

“Is that so? Your blood qi logically shouldn’t have increased so quickly. Could it be due to your blood qi enhancement wave?”

Su Hao nodded: “It should be. I can also feel the blood qi concentration bottlenecks father spoke of, but I only had to adjust the blood qi enhancement wave a bit and I naturally broke through those bottlenecks.

Wu Yuntian’s heart twitched, but he didn’t say anything. The blood qi bottleneck that everyone encountered had been broken through so easily by his son using the “Blood Qi Enhancement Wave”.

He had been stuck at the high level elite warrior stage for 5 years already. It was difficult to make another breakthrough with blood qi. This kind of situation would normally need to experience some kind of fierce battle in order to have the opportunity to break through during the fight.

A year ago, when he heard his son bring up “Blood Qi Enhancement Wave”, his sunken heart had come to life and he earnestly tried to find the so-called ‘blood qi enhancement wave’, but no matter how hard he tried, there was no progress at all. This caused him frustration. Indeed, the world of a genius was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Up until now, he had only tried every now and then, not putting too much hope in finding the “Blood Qi Enhancement Wave”.

Su Hao was unable to provide assistance. The special substance “Blood Qi Enhancement Wave” did exist, but typical people had no way of discovering its existence.

For example, every knows that when humans encounter a dangerous situation, they’ll release adrenaline. But other than knowing adrenaline was secreted from the adrenal glands, the brain’s consciousness was unable to detect the existence of the hormone and how much was secreted.

(TLN: Adrenaline is responsible for the fight or flight response)

Su Hao had also relied on Little Light’s powerful calculative abilities in order to lock onto his blood qi enhancement wave. He couldn’t do anything about anyone else’s blood qi enhancement waves. He could only say he was a special case, using high tech to analyze the underlying principles. To Wu Yuntian, it was like a strike from another dimension that couldn’t be analyzed.

Unless Su Hao’s understanding towards blood qi and blood qi enhancement waves continued to deepen and could find a way to generically control the blood qi enhancement waves, he would not be able to teach the blood qi enhancement wave to the people of this world.

“Xiangwu, come with me to the courtyard.” Wu Yuntian stood up and started walking outside.

Su Hao nodded and kept up.

Wu Yuntian stretched out his palm and said to Su Hao: “Use your full force to punch my palm.”

“Okay.” Su Hao walked up to Wu Yuntian and stood there. He concentrated his energy, all the blood qi in his body began to boil, a large amount of energy in his body was converted. Taking a step forward, a punch went out, landing right in the center of the palm.

“Pa~”

There was a crisp sound from the fist’s collision. Wu Yuntian didn’t move at all and took his palm back, but Su Hao had actually been pushed back a few steps by the force.

“Father is amazing!” Su Hao very much liked to praise people. Praising them in the front of them or behind their backs. Except for brats.

Wu Yuntian bitterly smiled and shook his head. Su Hao hadn’t seen that after he had retracted his palm behind his back that it was trembling a bit. His palm had been hit numb by Su Hao’s punch.

Wu Yuntian said lightly: “Your strength has already reached the level of a high level common warrior.”

Su Hao asked in doubt: “High level common warrior?”

Wu Yuntian explained: “That’s right. Warriors are divided into 5 classes. The lowest is common warriors, then elite warriors, master warriors, grandmaster warriors, and the highest is the ancestral warrior. Each class is separated into three stages as the beginner, mid, and high levels. Your current strength has reached a common warriors high-level rating. And I am now a high-level elite warrior.

Su Hao nodded and said: “So it was like that. How long does it take for the ordinary person to become a high-level common warrior?”

Wu Yuntian said helplessly: “Ordinary people can’t comprehend the existence of blood qi and can’t even become warriors. If you want to ask about the ratings for average warriors, then reaching a high-level common warrior usually takes 16 years. To reach it before 16 years usually shows talent. After 16 years is a bit late.”

In shock, Su Hao pointed at himself: “Then what about me?”

Wu Yuntian stared at Su Hao for a while and couldn’t say anything.

After a bit, Wu Yuntian changed the subject: “Xiangwu, since you have already reached this level, I don’t have anything to worry about. I believe you know it yourself. I will tell you now how to walk the path of the warrior.”

After a moment of silence, he added: “I can’t teach you much. In the future, how far you go will be up to you.”

“Yes!” Su Hao energetically nodded his head.
