RNP Chapter 57 Mortality Rate of Rank 3
Chapter 57 Mortality Rate of Rank 3
The mentor assignments were completed quickly, and Fu Changding still chose his favorite, Luo Yichuan, whom he had been looking forward to learning marksmanship for a long time.
On Lü Fengrou's side, besides Lu Hao, Fang Ping also took in a student, Zhao Xuemei, a female martial artist who, despite not undergoing a second bone tempering, was quite strong in stance training and combat techniques.
The assignment of tutors was completed quickly, followed by class division. Class division was mainly for the purpose of studying academic and theoretical courses.
There were 400 students, divided into 8 classes.
Lu Hao, Fang Ping, Fu Changding, and Zhao Xuemei are all in Class One, and they are among the top students in terms of combat techniques and stance training.
Class assignments and tutor assignments are complete; today's tasks are finished.
Before leaving, Lü Fengrou tossed each of the three of them an access card.
"In the early stages, you will mainly attend theoretical and cultural classes. We, the full-time tutors, will rarely provide you with individual guidance except for some large classes."
However, you two, one a martial artist and the other having undergone three rounds of bone tempering, should have some understanding of those things.
If you have any questions during your free time, you can come to the supervisor's accommodation area to find me.
Especially for Fang Ping, if he needs to apply for a breakthrough, he can contact me.
"Once next semester, you'll have passed the adjustment period, and we'll have much more time to interact."
After speaking with Fang Ping and Zhao Mei, Zhao Mei looked at Lu Hao.
"You're already at the third rank now. If you have any problems, just come find me in the mentor's accommodation area. From now on, just focus on improving your combat power. If you're going to go underground, let me know in advance."
"No problem, I was planning to go into seclusion to temper my bones for a while," Lu Hao said.
After saying this, Lü Fengrou tossed a bottle of pills to each of Fang Ping and the other two.
"These are ordinary Qi and Blood Pills, used to replenish Qi and Blood. You'll need to obtain the better pills yourselves. These are just ordinary pills, meant to save time in restoring Qi and Blood; use them as needed."
After saying that, he left, leaving the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment. Lu Hao then prepared to return to his dormitory to begin his bone tempering and cultivation.
After all, he's been busy with the start of the school year these past few days, and at most he's only done bone tempering. He hasn't even practiced combat techniques yet, and he still wants to master his ultimate moves.
"Old Lu, what does 'going to the fields' mean?" Fang Ping clearly grasped the key words that Lü Fengrou had just told Lu Hao.
"You'll understand when you reach the third rank. You're still too weak right now; knowing beforehand won't do you any good."
"I plan to go into seclusion to temper my bones next, so please don't disturb me unless it's absolutely necessary."
After saying that, Lu Hao also walked towards the dormitory area.
"Fang Ping, Lu Hao has already reached the third rank?"
Fang Ping heard Zhao Xuemei ask a question from beside him.
"Yes, he's at the third rank. Don't mess with that pervert, or you'll see what happened to Yang Xiaoman today."
"Will he continue to make things difficult for Xiaoman?"
Lu Hao glanced at Zhao Xuemei; the girls had basically all stuck together.
"No, Lu Hao isn't that kind of person. He's already taken action, so it's over. As long as you don't provoke him again, he won't take you seriously at all."
"Okay...I understand."
A short while later, Fu Changding came over.
"Fang Ping, where's Lao Lu? Didn't he choose the same mentor as you?"
"He went back to cultivate; Old Lu is a cultivation fanatic."
"No wonder he was able to reach the third rank. By the way, Fang Ping, why did you choose Teacher Lü?"
"Professor Lü? I had no choice. Because of Old Wang's incident, the other professors probably have a lot of opinions about me, so I had no choice but to become Professor Lü's apprentice."
Moreover, Teacher Lü also said that she has a grandmaster backing her up, and the pills are unlimited, which I feel is quite suitable for me.
"I see."
"Fu Changding, could you tell me about Instructor Lü? Instructor Lü just threw down a bottle of pills and left, and I don't know anything about him."
"Mentor Lü, oh, that's your mentor, her full name is Lü Fengrou."
Instructor Lü is actually quite capable, or even no less capable than Instructor Tang Feng. However, before I came here, my elders told me that if I encountered Instructor Lü, I should try not to choose her.
Actually, it seems that there wasn't a mentor named Lü among the new student mentors this time. I thought she was attending the opening ceremony when I was on the stage. So when I introduced her to you, I didn't mention her, but rather another mentor of the sixth rank.
When I arrived at the scene, I found out I had been replaced. I don't know the specifics, but just like Professor Tang Feng said, the injury and death rate among Professor Lü's students has been relatively high in recent years.
Fang Ping's expression shifted several times before he asked, "So, were all the dead martial artists of rank three or higher?"
"More or less, they should all be martial artists of rank three or above. What's wrong?"
"Lu Hao just said that above the third rank, it's normal for anyone to die. Moreover, Instructor Lü told Lu Hao to go see her before going down to the ground. When I asked Lu Hao what going down to the ground meant, he wouldn't tell me. He just said that it would be clear after reaching the third rank."
"It seems that this lower level is the reason why so many martial artists of the third rank and above have been lost."
……
Lu Hao returned to the dormitory area.
A thought arose.
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 481/512 calories]
[Mental Strength: 399/339 Hz]
Storage space: 1000 cubic meters
Kill Points: 1961
Four ribs have already been tempered, and there are still 1961 kill points left. Keep 161 points just in case, and the remaining 1800 points are just enough to temper 18 more ribs.
It will take about 15 days to complete the tempering of all the ribs, and then the sternum will be tempered to reach the middle stage of the third rank.
However, the sternum is a large bone, and tempering it may take more time. Hopefully, the tempering of the sternum can be completed before entering the underground cave.
This will significantly increase the ability to withstand direct impact.
In the following period, Lu Hao began to temper his bones, practiced combat techniques in the martial arts room, and occasionally attended classes.
The news of Lu Hao kicking Yang Xiaoman to death has spread throughout the school, and members of the martial arts club have come to recruit him, but he has no interest in any of them. Instead, he plans to go down to the underground cave after completing his training.
On September 18th, Lu Hao successfully completed the tempering of all his ribs. Next, he only needs to temper his sternum to reach the middle stage of the third rank.
I glanced at my current health and mana levels.
[Qi and Blood: 672]
Lu Hao's current mastery of Qi and Blood is still at the level of a trump card, but Lu Hao is estimated to be close to reaching the level of a decisive move. Now, Lu Hao's casual strikes can reach 134 units of Qi and Blood.
This is equivalent to the strength of the fourth-rank, square-faced man who wiped out that cult stronghold. Even if an ordinary person's third-rank power reaches 134, their blood and energy cannot withstand more than a few moves.
So he could only exchange a few blows with the square-faced guy, and then he would run out of energy and blood.
However, Lu Hao has kill points that can be replenished, so even when facing a square-faced opponent, he can wear them down and kill them without much difficulty.
A square face indicates a relatively excellent martial artist, as they can fully control their qi and blood. Many martial artists cannot even control their qi and blood, let alone have a trump card.
Therefore, if I were to encounter a mid-level fourth-rank cultivator in the underground cave, I wouldn't be unable to put up a fight.
While Lu Hao was in seclusion to temper his bones, Fang Ping was approached by some senior students who forced him to accept their challenge and agreed to a duel in the arena a month later.
