Lu Hao emerged from seclusion the day after his return. His injuries were not too serious, and with the reinforced Bridge of Heaven and Earth, the strength of his internal organs had also increased considerably.
So after taking three Life-Recovery Pills, he recovered.
As for Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang, they will probably need another day or two, just in time for the big battle.
Lu Hao didn't plan to temper his internal organs here anymore. Although the cave was full of energy and suitable for tempering, it didn't matter to him where he was.
However, once the tempering begins, it will take a lot of time. In another day or two, the big battle will be held. At that time, dragging a body that has been tempered to half its full strength, it is unknown how much combat power it can exert.
It would be better to take a rest for the next couple of days, regroup, and prepare for the upcoming big battle.
Walking on the street outside, the martial artists passing by were all discussing Fang Ping's achievements from yesterday: a third-rank warrior killed a peak fifth-rank warrior and escaped from a sixth-rank warrior.
No one was discussing Lu Hao and his team's achievements, since they hadn't said anything when they returned. However, they had no intention of showing off either, as they had made too much money this time, and if they boasted, they might get robbed.
As for escaping from a sixth-rank official, Lu Hao is probably only at the lower-middle level of a sixth-rank official. If he were at his peak, even Lu Hao might not be able to escape now, let alone Fang Ping, who would have no hope at all.
Lu Hao wandered around, observing the surroundings. The martial artists were all coming and going, very busy, which meant that the news of the alliance between the two cities had already spread.
Hope City is currently in a state of "entry is permitted, but exit is not." With a major battle imminent, no martial artist can retreat unless they are seriously injured or have made great contributions.
I wonder what happened to Qin Fengqing after the old principal fought to the death.
After all, the old headmaster was one of the closest people to him at Magic Martial Arts University, practically family. Yet now he was being offered a one-for-one exchange with a dungeon warrior.
Sigh, hopefully Qin Fengqing will be able to get through this by then. Perhaps if he becomes stronger in the future, he can resurrect these people.
After all, Fang Ping in the original story was able to construct a perfect world, and the origin of his own power panel is probably even higher.
When I finally comprehend the fundamental principles of time within the panel's spatial manipulation, I estimate I'll be able to reverse time myself.
Find a way to revive these people.
The more Lu Hao thought about how his older brother could be resurrected, the more excited he became. After all, this was a soul fusion, and his feelings for his older brother were naturally deep.
Well, Lu Hao made up his mind that he must reach higher in the future and revive the people he cares about. As he walked, Lu Hao saw Fang Ping still at the exchange office.
"Fang Ping, is your first time going down into the underground cave different from what you expected?"
Lu Hao greeted him.
"Lu Hao? It really is you. I heard you brought the intelligence back first, or did you rush back from the east?"
As soon as Fang Ping turned around, he saw that teacher-like face. Fang Ping was even a little envious of Lu Hao's appearance. Not only was he strong, but he was also good-looking. Compared with Lu Hao, Fang Ping seemed ordinary.
"Yes, we ran into the army of Dongkui City while we were looking for resources, so we came back to report. I heard you killed a peak fifth-rank cultivator, are you that powerful?"
Lu Hao moved the transport route.
"Ahem, those are all rumors. A plot to kill, a plot to kill. Martial artists are not just reckless brutes. Using a little strategy is acceptable."
Fang Ping was quite pleased with the praise from the outside world.
But that depends on who you're comparing him to. He had inquired about Lu Hao's battle record before. When he was at the peak of the fourth rank, he killed that sixth rank enemy. That was a head-on one-on-one kill.
They didn't rely on tricks, but on genuine strength. Now that they've reached the fifth rank, their strength is beyond description.
"Hehe, you've now gone down into the underground caves yourself. How was it? Tell me your thoughts on them."
Lu Hao chuckled. It seemed that although Fang Ping liked to boast, he was still quite self-aware. He wasn't afraid of Fang Ping's boasting, but he was afraid that Fang Ping would take his boasting seriously.
"The underground cave is a cruel money-making opportunity."
"Oh? Tell me more about it."
Lu Hao became interested, after all, Fang Ping's description wasn't entirely wrong.
"Before I came here, I was thinking about what it would be like if we could develop together peacefully, but after I came here, I no longer have that thought."
The blood feud between the two is irreconcilable, and the gap between them is too vast. As for why it's a money pit, just standing here absorbing the energy of this blazing sun is like picking up money. After all, the energy here is abundant, and there are so many good things in the underground cave. If it weren't for the sixth-rank pursuit, I probably could have brought back tens of millions more worth of equipment this time. No wonder you martial artists who have been to the underground caves find it hard to appreciate things on the surface. Although the underground caves are dangerous, there are too many opportunities inside.”
Lu Hao nodded. What he said was indeed very good. However, he still didn't understand why, besides acquiring resources, they needed to go down into the underground cave, nor did he understand the meaning of protecting it.
To be honest, Lu Hao didn't quite understand either, only had a slight understanding.
Right now, he's going down into the underground caves just like Fang Ping, all to improve himself. Perhaps after he's experienced more, he'll understand the meaning of protection.
"A major battle is about to begin. What are you going to do next?"
Lu Hao changed the subject, after all, he hadn't even figured out the meaning of protection himself, so why mislead others?
"I plan to stay and do my utmost, after all, this is a joint effort between two cities, and they're coming on strong."
Even if we get news of you, I estimate that not many low- to mid-grade individuals will come. "Okay, take care of yourself. If you have any problems, come over here. As long as you don't provoke someone with a perfected essence or high-grade, they can come over," Lu Hao said.
Fang Ping is now slowly becoming the King of Men he remembers. He no longer backs down and knows he has to take the stage himself. Although he still has flaws, they don't detract from his overall excellence.
"Hehe, then thank you very much, Brother Lu. With Brother Lu around, I'm invincible below the middle rank!"
Fang Ping was overjoyed to hear Lu Hao's words. After all, he was not yet capable of facing fifth- or sixth-rank opponents, and if he encountered them on the battlefield, injury would be inevitable. With Lu Hao's help, he could rest assured.
"Be careful, don't be too greedy, correct that little habit of yours, and you'll be perfect."
Lu Hao waved his hand and walked towards the room. As for what Fang Ping had said, the more mid-level sixth-rank and below, the better, since Fang Ping could defeat fourth-rank opponents.
If they need to be recruited, they should be at least rank 5 or 6. Lu Hao is currently lacking killing points, so the more underground warriors there are, the better.
Back in the room, I wandered around outside and realized there was nothing to do to pass the time. Should I go out of town for a stroll?
"Forget it," Lu Hao thought, "what if I encounter another martial artist who has achieved perfect harmony between essence and blood?" He then took out the ten kilograms of energy stones he had kept in his storage space.
They planned to take advantage of the time available to melt everything down into energy liquid, making it easier for the children to cultivate and absorb it.
