Chapter 177 Grief
The next day, the Energy Sun suddenly appeared, and Lu Hao and the others headed towards the passage.
Qin Fengqing seemed to be alright, but the smile on her face was gone, and she was still in a state of grief.
A large number of students and fourth- or fifth-rank instructors had gathered at the entrance of the passage. Basically, only sixth-rank instructors remained. The next period of time would be their battle.
The lively arguments that used to fill the passageway have now turned into silence; no one is speaking, and some are constantly wiping away tears.
The old headmaster is dead, and many people at Magic Martial Arts University have benefited from his kindness.
And there were other masters, mentors, and students who died; their teachers, classmates, relatives, and friends died in the cave.
Lu Hao looked around at the instructors. He remembered the fourth and fifth rank instructors from the battle at the East Gate, but now only a few familiar faces remained.
Several of them have already disappeared.
They may have perished together with the enemy at some point.
They are the real heroes.
This is war, this is the underground world, this is the fate of warriors. After leaving the underground passage, I arrived at the alloy door. The familiar scarred-faced warrior was gone; only another one remained.
Lu Hao looked at the other gatekeeper and asked softly, "Teacher Liu, he—"
Another gatekeeper chuckled and said, "He went down, saying it's a once-in-a-lifetime battle, and he's going to check on the warriors in Dongkui City."
Lu Hao fell silent and didn't ask any further questions, afraid that the information he received would be the one he didn't want.
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang, standing to the side, also fell silent. They both knew Instructor Liu and still remembered their banter before entering the Demon Martial Arts Cave.
The result is now...
Magic Martial Arts, South District.
As the student instructors of Magic Martial Arts University walked through the South District, they were surrounded by many instructors and students, all waiting.
The silent martial arts ceremony bestowed upon these returning people the highest honor.
Lu Hao and the others straightened their backs and returned the greeting.
The mentor who greeted them at the front was Chen Zhenhua from the School of Literature. Of the four major universities, three deans went into the underground cave, while only the dean from the School of Literature remained on the surface.
"The principal and the others—."
Chen Zhenhua looked at Lu Hao and asked.
Lu Hao and his two companions walked at the front. Although they were young, they had the greatest combat achievements in this battle, killing the most mid-grade underground warriors.
"The old headmaster and his men have died in battle. This time, they killed seven high-ranking individuals, dozens of sixth-rank individuals, and countless mid-ranking individuals from the underground caves."
As Lu Hao spoke, he was practically shouting.
Chen Zhenhua didn't care how many enemies he killed; what he cared about was how many people from Magic Martial Arts University had sacrificed themselves. Hearing about the old principal's sacrifice, his face turned a little pale.
Many students in the welcoming party shed tears, as their mentor had also died in the battle.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back—"
Chen Zhenhua murmured, then turned and said, "Go back and heal your injuries, cultivate diligently, and take good care of yourselves—"
The old man burst into tears the moment he turned away.
The old principal sacrificed himself, and so did all those grandmasters!
He knew the situation; he personally watched the old headmaster and the others enter the underground cave.
Knowing the dire situation of the two cities uniting, he still held a glimmer of hope.
He hoped the situation wasn't so serious, and that the old principal and the others wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves. But now that everything had settled down, he couldn't accept that the old principal, who had protected Magic Martial Arts for sixty years, had left so quietly. How could he accept that?
Sixty years!
The old principal has been kind to so many people, including him. If it weren't for the old principal, how could he have reached his current position?
This is the tragedy of Magic Martial Arts, the tragedy of warriors, the tragedy of humanity. On this day, the entire Magic Martial Arts community was shrouded in an atmosphere of sorrow.
On this day, the entire martial arts world was filled with grief. The seven grandmasters fought to the death in the underground cave, and none of them retreated, each exchanging one life for another.
They fought in the underground caves, died in the underground caves, and were buried in the underground caves.
Lu Hao and his two companions headed towards the dormitory area, while Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang rested in Lu Hao's guest room, waiting for the government personnel to arrive.
"Old Qin, get some rest these next few days before focusing on your cultivation. Once we've all advanced, we'll head down to the underground cave again."
With the resources from the government, we can probably reach a very high level quickly; we also can't neglect the control of Qi and Blood.
Lu Hao said to Qin Fengqing, "As for Wang Jinyang, I'm not worried. It's just Qin Fengqing's side. That's right, Lao Qin, there's no rush to cultivate. Take a rest for the next few days and wait for the government's resources to arrive."
Wang Jinyang also chimed in.
"Okay, I know, don't worry, I'm fine," Qin Fengqing said with a forced smile.
Lu Hao didn't say anything more. After settling Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang in, he returned to his room.
I took out my phone, which I had been keeping in my storage space.
I went online and sent a message to my mother, since she must have already learned about the deaths of the seven grandmasters at Magic Martial Arts University.
He naturally knew the severity of the underground world in Shanghai, and letting her know he was safe would put her at ease.
Looking at the date above, it's May 11th.
Lu Hao and his group went down into the underground cave on May 1st.
Only ten days had passed, but for Lu Hao and his group it felt like months. They left Hope City, killed sixth-grade demonic beasts, mined mineral veins, discovered Dongkui warriors, killed their scouts, returned to Hope City to report, were chased by a peak sixth-grade warrior, the two cities joined forces, a great battle ensued, they broke through the defenses, a grandmaster arrived, the grandmaster fell, and the pursuit continued.
Ten days is something most people could never experience in a lifetime, which is why Lu Hao felt time was slowing down.
In just ten days, the situation in the underground cave changed drastically.
It's still a matter of strength. If I had already reached the high level, I wouldn't need the old principal and the others to sacrifice themselves. As long as I could hold off Lu Hao, I could gradually kill him.
Lu Hao opened his character panel, which he hadn't looked at in a long time; it felt somewhat unfamiliar. [Skill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 3601/3601 calories]
[Spirit: 579/579 Hertz]
Storage space: 10 million cubic meters
[Dharma Space 1: 100]
[Kill Point: 215349 (Can be visualized)]
The kill points exceeded 21; even though Lu Hao had somewhat anticipated this, he was still surprised by the number.
This also shows just how many underground warriors Lu Hao killed.
He's practically a butcher! It's no wonder that the underground warriors are afraid of Lu Hao.
The subsequent cultivation was quite smooth; with so many killing points, reaching the sixth rank was almost guaranteed.
Even if you use a lot at the fifth rank, it would probably only cost around 70,000 to 80,000.
Even if the number of kills is reduced, there will still be 10,000 kill points, which may be enough for Lu Hao to advance a little further in the sixth rank.
Lu Hao immediately began using killing points to temper his internal organs. He tempered five of his organs to the fourth grade, while the remaining organs were numerous and scattered.
Once the internal organs such as the gallbladder, stomach, and large and small intestines are fully refined, one will reach the middle stage of the fifth rank.
It would take most people a lot of time, since there are quite a few internal organs left, but Lu Hao wasn't worried at all. With the help of the killing point, he didn't need to worry at all.
Just go for it.
Lu Hao guided the killing points to begin tempering their internal organs.
