After hearing Jiang Hao's words, Jiang Keke was utterly stunned.
Her bright, wide eyes!
They opened wider than copper bells.
He'd only started training that afternoon?
And in just a few hours, he'd mastered a whole Martial Skill?!
This guy!
The words "Sun-level Prodigy" surfaced in Jiang Keke's mind.
"Brother, you..."
She was just about to say something when Jiang Hao calmly cut her off.
"Did you need something, Keke?"
"Huh? Oh!"
Only then did Jiang Keke snap out of it, answering instinctively.
"Mom and Dad called you to dinner!"
"Mm."
Jiang Hao nodded.
He casually returned the "Divine Weapon" mop handle to its original place.
Then he turned and walked into the house to wash his hands before dinner.
As soon as Jiang Hao went inside,
Jiang Keke suddenly came to her senses. She spun around with a whoosh and hurriedly called toward the kitchen.
"Dad! Mom!"
"This is unbelievable! My big brother's turned into a monster!"
"Why are you making such a fuss now?"
Jiang Chuanning's voice came from the kitchen.
As soon as he finished speaking,
Shen Man and Jiang Chuanning came out of the kitchen, each carrying a steaming plate of food.
Seeing the haunted look on his daughter's face, Jiang Chuanning rolled his eyes.
"What is it this time?"
"Brother! It's Brother!"
Jiang Keke was so excited she could barely get the words out.
"He—he did it in one afternoon! No, just a few hours!"
"He mastered a new Martial Skill!"
"What?"
At her words, Shen Man and Jiang Chuanning's hands both jerked. They nearly dropped the dishes they were holding!
Their faces instantly filled with shock!
The two of them were both genuine Martial Artists!
They knew better than anyone how difficult it was to master a Ranked Martial Skill!
"Keke, are you sure you saw right?"
Shen Man's voice trembled.
"Absolutely! He even made a whooshing sound with the mop handle just now!"
Just then,
Jiang Hao had finished washing his hands and walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing all three of them staring at him in shock, he cleared his throat and explained,
"I guess I was lucky and happened to catch a bit of the feeling."
Lucky?
Jiang Keke rolled her eyes again.
Who was he trying to fool?
But Shen Man and Jiang Chuanning exchanged a glance, and both saw the joy in the other's eyes!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Jiang Chuanning excitedly set down the food.
"You mastered a Martial Skill—and in just a few hours!"
"Xiao Hao, this makes your chances of getting into a Martial Arts University even better!"
Shen Man was so happy that her eyes reddened.
She'd seen Jiang Hao working so hard, yet still making little progress. He might not even get into a Martial Arts University and would have to start working early, just like them!
It had hurt her so much!
But now!
At last, there was something to hope for.
Watching his parents' joy, Jiang Hao replied gently,
"Mm. That'd be even better."
A Martial Arts University?
Jiang Hao's heart was still as calm as water.
That was no longer his goal.
His goal was a Key Martial Arts University!
In the blink of an eye!
Three days passed.
For those three days, Jiang Hao focused his training on his new Martial Skill.
[Spear Arts · Perfected (10/100)] [Tidal Wave Spear Technique · Beginner (30/100)]
His training in Spear Intent, beyond perfecting his Spear Arts, had slowed down, but he was still making steady progress.
Meanwhile, his Tidal Wave Spear Technique had reached 30 proficiency points at the beginner level.
He could now unleash the First Wave of force.
Then there was his Blood Energy!
[Strength: Martial Trainee (Blood Qi Intensity 9.3)]
In just three or four days,
his Blood Energy had steadily risen from 9.07 to 9.3!
Compared with his snail's pace before, the difference was like night and day!
Medium-grade Nutrient Solution!
Combined with his highly proficient Seven Revolutions Stance Skill,
it let Jiang Hao achieve such incredible growth, even though his Martial Bone was only Dust Grade!
No one in Class 3-2 knew about Jiang Hao's astonishing transformation.
But another person's change had been made public.
Because on the fourth day!
During training in the Training Room,
Lin Qiu had received support from Lin Fan and taken the precious High-grade Nutrient Solution.
His Blood Qi Intensity had reached 9.3!
He didn't hide it at all. He deliberately displayed the glaring number [9.3] on the Training Room's testing machine!
"Holy crap! 9.3!"
"Gasp! That Blood Energy... it's so strong!"
"An increase of 0.3 in less than a week—he must've taken High-grade Nutrient Solution!"
The students of Class 3-2 were shocked once again!
After doing all that, Lin Qiu ignored the awed looks of his classmates and walked straight over to Jiang Hao, who was training in a corner.
His injuries had only just healed, leaving him with a sickly look—and his provocation was even more pronounced.
"Jiang Hao."
Lin Qiu spoke from on high.
"So what if you got lucky and beat me once?"
"My Blood Qi Intensity is 9.3 now!"
"In three days, the Key Class Assessment begins!"
"When it does, I'll stomp you into the ground!"
Jiang Hao slowly finished his set, raised his eyelids, and glanced at him calmly.
"Oh?"
"Is that so?"
Jiang Hao gave a nonchalant "Oh," then ignored him, as if he were watching a noisy fly.
"You!"
Being ignored made Lin Qiu fly into a rage!
He felt like he'd thrown a punch into cotton!
"Just you wait and see!"
Lin Qiu growled, his face contorted.
"Let's see if you're still so arrogant then!"
At his words, a hint of icy coldness flashed through Jiang Hao's calm eyes.
He said nothing.
But Jiang Hao had already made up his mind.
Since the other guy had put it that way,
then when the Key Class Assessment came around,
if they did end up facing each other, he wouldn't mind putting him flat on his back for ten days or half a month!
Time flew by!
The seventh day had arrived!
Today was the day of the Key Class Assessment.
Jiang Hao woke at dawn, opened his eyes, and immediately called up his personal information.
[Host: Jiang Hao] [Strength: Martial Trainee (Blood Qi Intensity 9.5)] [Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery · Seventh Revolution (42/100)] [Martial Skills: Spear Arts · Perfected (10/100), Tidal Wave Spear Technique · Beginner (50/100)]
Looking at the results of his seven days of hard training, Jiang Hao's expression remained unruffled.
He slowly got up!
He clenched his fist.
Feeling the Blood Energy within him, a little more substantial than it had been seven days ago,
he knew he would make it into the Senior Year Key Class!
When he reached the classroom,
Lu Ming came over right away, looking somewhat dejected and apologetic.
"Brother Jiang... I'm sorry."
Lu Ming's voice was low.
"My Blood Qi still hasn't met the requirement."
"I'm still short by 0.2. Stuck at 8.8."
Jiang Hao smiled at his words and encouraged Lu Ming.
"It's okay."
"There are still more than six months until the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam."
"There's one last Key Class Assessment in three months."
"You'll definitely get in then."
Seeing how sure Jiang Hao was, Lu Ming nodded firmly.
"Mm!"
Just then,
the bell rang.
Mentor Song Jun's tall figure walked in.
"Everyone, assemble in the Training Room!"
