Chapter 13, Rank 1
Six days later, on March 1st.
After dinner, Lu Hao opened the panel and began to check.
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 209/209 calories]
[Mental Strength: 289/289 Hz+]
Storage space: 1 cubic meters
Kill Points: 1475
His Qi and Blood have reached the limit of three Bone Temperings, and he has accumulated more than a thousand Killing Points. Moreover, the plus sign after his Qi and Blood value has disappeared, which means that Lu Hao has reached the limit for non-martial artists.
The next step is to break through to the Martial Artist level. Only by breaking through to the Martial Artist level can one achieve significant improvement, instead of continuing to nurture one's Qi and Blood here.
"Mom, my Qi and blood have reached their limit. I can break through to the Martial Artist level now. I plan to break through today."
"Alright, since your qi and blood have reached their limit so quickly, you can break through now. Mom will be here to protect you."
Although Bai Qiuyao was somewhat surprised, she knew that Lu Hao had his own special opportunity, so she readily agreed.
We arrived at the martial arts training room.
Bai Qiuyao began to instruct Lu Hao.
"Hao'er, you've practiced the Tempering Technique before, so you should be familiar with its effects."
It can open up the body's main meridians, allowing qi and blood to circulate and nourish the bones and body.
Non-martial artists who practice the "Tempering Method" only cultivate the main meridians. There are 14 main meridians in the human body that run through the entire body.
Of course, this is in a broad sense. The human body is the most complex structure, and even now, we cannot say for sure how many meridians there are in the human body.
For non-martial artists, breaking through to the first rank is to open up more meridians, allowing their qi and blood to temper their bones and flesh at a deeper level.
"Hao'er, are you planning to refine your upper or lower limb bones at the first-grade level?"
"I plan to temper my lower limb bones first, since tempering them will make me better at fighting and running."
Lu Hao replied that this was what he had planned from the beginning. By cultivating his lower limb bones and combining them with basic leg techniques, he would be able to fight and run effectively. Even if he cultivated his upper limb bones, his blood and qi would not be enough to support the use of the "Battle Blood Mad Blade".
"Alright, since we're going to temper the lower limb bones first, we need to expand the meridians in the lower limbs during the breakthrough to prepare for tempering the lower limbs later."
"Currently, the expansion of the lower limb meridians requires the expansion of a total of 62 branch meridians."
As Bai Qiuyao spoke, she took out a human meridian chart from the side and pointed out the locations of the meridians to Lu Hao according to the chart.
He pointed out the direction to Lu Hao one by one, and gave him some tips for breaking through.
Although Lu Hao had learned about the meridians that needed to be tempered to break through to the first-grade martial artist level in the past few days, he now understood it more thoroughly under Bai Qiuyao's guidance.
"Hao'er, have you prepared the Internal Organ Protection Pill and the Bone Tempering Pill?"
Bai Qiuyao asked why she didn't ask about the Qi and Blood Pill, because the Qi and Blood that Lu Hao gained from his three bone temperings were more than enough to support the expansion of his meridians.
Most of those martial artists who need Qi and Blood Pills to help them break through are those who have undergone bone tempering once, or those who have not undergone bone tempering at all. Their Qi and Blood are insufficient to expand their meridians, so they naturally need pills to help them.
Moreover, all medicines have some degree of toxicity, so it's best to avoid taking these pills if possible.
"I'm all ready."
Lu Hao took out a Protective Internal Organ Pill and a Bone Tempering Pill from the cabinet next to him. He had bought these in the past two days when he had some free time. As for the Qi and Blood Pill, the system could provide whatever Qi and Blood Pill he needed.
A top-grade Bone Tempering Pill, market price 50!
The First-Class Protective Pill is worth 60 yuan!
That adds up to 110 million, and this is just for breaking through to the first rank. However, only wealthy families would prepare this. Those from poorer families try to break through directly, but the probability of failure is quite high.
If such a breakthrough fails, it will lead to damage to the internal organs, and the person will basically only be able to stay at the quasi-martial artist stage, and will never be able to advance to a higher level in their lifetime.
Therefore, those who are capable will usually prepare a protective pill for their internal organs. Even if they fail to break through, they can ensure the safety of their internal organs and adjust themselves for a period of time before attempting another breakthrough.
Lu Hao was once again grateful that his family was relatively wealthy, enough to support him on his path in martial arts. No wonder Fang Ping was so stingy in the early stages of the original story; even a hero can be brought down by a penny.
Under Bai Qiuyao's guidance, Lu Hao pointed out the necessary meridians one by one in the order of expansion and then prepared to break through.
Lu Hao sat cross-legged on the ground to adjust his state, and then took the Organ Protection Pill and Bone Tempering Pill.
After taking the Protective Internal Organs Pill and the Bone Tempering Pill, Lu Hao instantly felt his internal organs being protected by an energy, and at the same time, his blood and qi began to become more active under the effect of the Bone Tempering Pill.
Lu Hao focused his attention and began to circulate his qi and blood, following the meridian diagram of his lower limbs to open up the channels.
The process went very smoothly; Lu Hao, who had undergone three bone temperings, had already opened up some of his meridians.
With the help of the Bone Tempering Pill, he opened up ten meridians almost effortlessly. These were some of the meridians that had already been opened up during the three bone tempering sessions.
With the opening of all ten meridians, Lu Hao could clearly feel an increase in his upper limit of Qi and blood.
I glanced at the panel when I had a moment.
[Qi and Blood: 199/215]
It consumed 10 units of Qi and Blood, but increased the maximum by 6 units, which is not bad.
The next step is to focus on opening up the meridians.
Half an hour...
One hour...
Although Bai Qiuyao knew that this was the normal breakthrough process and time, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Even with the protection of the intestinal-protecting pill, I'm still worried about what to do if some errors occur.
Another half hour passed.
Lu Hao opened his eyes and smiled.
"Mom, I've successfully broken through! I'm now a first-grade martial artist."
"Yes, it's good that it succeeded, it's good that it succeeded."
"The upcoming bone tempering is a huge undertaking. Even though we've broken through to the first rank, we can't be complacent."
Bai Qiuyao felt relieved. She was now a little worried that her son would become arrogant, since most of his classmates were undergoing bone tempering for the first time, or had not even done so yet.
Lu Hao has already broken through to the Martial Artist level through three rounds of bone tempering. According to the general rule of three rounds of bone tempering, he might reach the first-grade high level before the college entrance examination.
Bai Qiuyao was afraid that her son would become arrogant because of this.
"Okay, don't worry, Mom, I understand."
Bai Qiuyao was unaware of Lu Hao's pressure. How could Lu Hao be arrogant and conceited just because he broke through to the first-grade martial artist level? Perhaps Lu Hao would only become a little unruly when he reached the Emperor level.
Before that, Lu Hao needs to focus on development.
It took Lu Hao a month to go from the second bone tempering to breaking through to the first-grade martial artist level. In other people's eyes, this might already be a legendary miracle, but Lu Hao didn't think it was anything special.
After all, he already has a panel, so if he's not breaking through quickly, is he really a waste? Besides, it only took him a month to reach the first rank, so his progress will definitely slow down in the future. Will he be able to surpass the Heavenly Emperor in the end?
Lu Hao glanced at the panel
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 94/241 calories]
[Mental Strength: 117/299 Hz+]
Storage space: 10 cubic meters
Kill Points: 147
My Qi and Blood increased to 241 calories, an increase of 36 calories. Basically, it's less than two meridians that increase Qi and Blood by one calorie. My mental strength also increased by 10 Hz.
Looking further down, the storage space has increased to 10 cubic meters. Although it's not needed now, it will be very useful later when we go to the underground cave.
