At the edge of the monster town, a young man continuously swung the long blade in his hand. Each strike wasn't fast, but it directly tore through the air, leaving behind trails of afterimages.
After slaying the Four-Tailed Cat Demon with a single strike, Qin Hao didn't leave. Instead, he remained in place, constantly searching for that feeling he had just experienced—the transformation of rigid force into soft force, and the simultaneous attack of both overt and covert powers.
Although he had only succeeded once, Qin Hao clearly felt that the power of that single strike was exactly double his usual strength.
This also meant that the power of each of his covert strikes was 1.0 times his base power, which was even stronger than the 70% covert power of Ninefold Thunderblade.
However, he couldn't replicate that strike again.
“Beep, beep, beep.” Just as Qin Hao continued his training, vehicles rapidly approached from a distance. A team of soldiers quickly disembarked from the cars and came to Qin Hao's side, their gazes fixed on the Four-Tailed Cat Demon not far from Qin Hao.
Although all of them had undergone professional training, every soldier present couldn't help but feel extremely surprised.
Upon receiving the report that a Four-Tailed Cat Demon was approaching the town's edge, everyone had been incredibly tense, even preparing for injury or sacrifice, but they hadn't expected it to already be dealt with.
Moreover, it was dealt with by a Quasi-warrior participating in the Warrior Combat Assessment.
“Hello, thank you for dealing with the Four-Tailed Cat Demon and resolving this assessment crisis. You can now choose to continue the assessment or return to the military base with us,” the leading major came before Qin Hao, saluted, and then spoke.
“I'll go back!” Qin Hao didn't hesitate and directly followed them back to the military base.
“The Four-Tailed Cat Demon is an Elementary Wargod level monster. According to the military's acquisition price, it's 12 million chinese yuan. You can also take it back to the HR Alliance in Jiangnan Base City, where the price will be higher.”
“12 million chinese yuan it is.” Inside the military base, after Qin Hao handed over the beast ears from his backpack, he also had the Four-Tailed Cat Demon directly processed.
Originally, the monsters in the combat assessment were all centrally gathered by the military and belonged to the military, but this suddenly appearing Four-Tailed Cat Demon was not among them.
“Congratulations on becoming a Warrior. 12 million chinese yuan will be credited to your account shortly. You can now go to the back to rest and wait for the combat assessment to end.”
After Qin Hao handed in his equipment one by one, he walked towards the rest area in the back.
“You must be Qin Hao. Congratulations on becoming a Warrior. My name is Wang Heng, and I represent Leidian Martial Hall to invite you to join.” The person who arrived was indeed the representative of Leidian Martial Hall. After seeing Qin Hao's talent, he had been waiting for Qin Hao's return.
Qin Hao also recognized that the person was Wang Heng, the director of Leidian Martial Hall, who had been talking with Zhuge Tao in the lounge. Now, he had appeared here and seemed to have been waiting for him.
“Sorry, Director Wang, I have already signed a contract with Dojo of Limits.”
“A contract? Since it’s a contract, it can be breached. You just pay a penalty. As long as you are willing to join Leidian Martial Hall, all the breach fees will be borne by Leidian Martial Hall. Furthermore, I can promise you the highest contract, and I can recommend you to join the Basic Training Camp. In the future, you might even be able to participate in the Elite Training Camp.” Wang Heng confidently laid out all the conditions. He believed that no Warrior could refuse such terms.
“Sorry, I have already joined Dojo of Limits. Thank you, Director Wang, and Leidian Martial Hall for your appreciation.” Qin Hao didn't think too much and directly refused.
Joining any martial hall made little difference to him. The few things that could be beneficial to him were likely only available to Hong, the strongest person on Earth. Moreover, since he had already agreed to join Dojo of Limits, there was no reason to go back on his word.
After speaking, Qin Hao went directly to the rest area, resting while waiting for the combat assessment to end.
As night gradually faded, the combat assessment concluded, and the Quasi-warriors who participated in the assessment returned to the base one by one.
Although the death rate in the combat assessment was not high, there was still a certain probability of death. Dozens of people lost their lives, and hundreds were disabled.
Qin Hao looked at everything before him, his heart slightly shaken. No matter the era, humanity was fighting desperately for survival.
Mingyue Community, Villa No. 198.
Qin Hao had returned to his home. After celebrating with his family, he went into the training room, turned on his computer, and entered the Dojo of Limits website. After browsing two pieces of information from Dojo of Limits, Qin Hao went straight to his target—"Ninefold Thunderblade."
Since he used a blade, Ninefold Thunderblade was the best choice. With Ninefold Thunderblade as a reference, his force exertion techniques would gradually improve.
"Ninefold Thunderblade" - All nine levels.
Price: 100 billion chinese yuan (full price)
50 billion chinese yuan (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points)
Ignoring the full price, Qin Hao directly clicked on layered purchase and found the fifth level, which he could afford. The 500 million chinese yuan allowance from Dojo of Limits, plus the 500 million chinese yuan sponsored by Zhuge Tao, were all used up.
After completing the order, Qin Hao shifted his gaze to the equipment sales area and began selecting equipment suitable for him. Qin Hao was not at all careless with the equipment: a Jiying series A6 model combat blade for 20 million chinese yuan, D6 level combat armor, armguards, and combat boots for 80 million chinese yuan, plus a backpack and other items for several hundred thousand chinese yuan. This was even without Qin Hao purchasing equipment like shields.
He still had 100 million chinese yuan in starting capital, but after selecting the equipment, the price directly exceeded 100 million chinese yuan. However, Qin Hao wasn't prepared to buy it immediately. Instead, he saved screenshots of the equipment and sent them to Wu Tong, requesting help with the purchase.
The next day, around ten o'clock, Qin Hao's doorbell rang.
“Mr. Qin Hao, the secret manual you purchased has been delivered. You can open it using your fingerprint.”
Qin Hao took the box, his finger sliding over the top of the alloy box. After fingerprint verification, the box opened, revealing a book about two centimeters thick and five optical discs.
“Mr. Qin Hao, please open it and take a look. After confirmation, please sign for receipt.” Qin Hao casually flipped through it, then directly signed for confirmation.
“Mr. Qin Hao, I believe you are aware of the prohibitions regarding purchasing secret manuals. The copyright of the secret manual belongs to its creator. The purchaser only has the right to learn, not to transmit. Unauthorized selling or teaching of secret manuals, once violated, will result in joint pursuit by all major forces.”
After Qin Hao confirmed, the delivery person went directly to Luo Feng's doorstep, next door to Qin Hao's, and knocked on Luo Feng's door. Qin Hao also knew that Luo Feng had purchased the same Ninefold Thunderblade as him.
Just as Qin Hao was about to go home and begin training, a voice called out, “Qin Hao!”
Qin Hao turned around and saw that the person who had arrived was Wu Tong, the chief instructor of Dojo of Limits.
“Uncle Wu.”
“I just saw the delivery person from headquarters. Did you buy something?”
“Yes, "Ninefold Thunderblade,"” Qin Hao nodded.
“Ninefold Thunderblade?” Wu Tong was greatly surprised, looking at the manual in Qin Hao's hand. “You really went all out to buy this.”
“Uncle Wu, Qin Hao.” At this moment, Luo Feng, who had already signed for his manual, also walked over.
“Luo Feng, did you also purchase a secret manual?” Seeing Luo Feng approach, Wu Tong asked, “Is it also "Ninefold Thunderblade"? You two really spared no expense.”
“Anyway, it's not our own money we're spending,” Luo Feng said, and Qin Hao nodded in agreement.
“Ninefold Thunderblade is extremely difficult to cultivate, but you two are both geniuses, so you still have a chance to succeed,” Wu Tong said. “Qin Hao, the equipment you asked me to help you buy yesterday will also be delivered today. Come and pick it up then.”
“Luo Feng, not long ago, wasn't there a young man named Zhang Haobai who offended you? His uncle is now preparing to settle with you privately.”
After chatting with Luo Feng and Wu Tong for a while, Qin Hao returned home and immediately went into the training room, eagerly opening Ninefold Thunderblade and beginning his cultivation.
