Swish.
With a thought,
the Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique activated at once.
Starlight flickered across the sky, and it was as if Zhou Hao's body had been draped in a special outer layer, isolating him from the outside world.
Both his vitality and aura vanished in an instant.
He walked out of his bedroom and stopped outside Zhou Ying'er's room.
He could clearly hear Zhou Ying'er's steady, drawn-out breathing.
He stood there for a while.
Only then did Zhou Hao return to his room.
With Zhou Ying'er's High-level Warrior strength, she could normally sense him as soon as he stood outside her door.
Yet just now, he had not deliberately held back his breathing or footsteps.
Even so, Zhou Ying'er had not noticed him in the slightest.
This was the Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique.
Even just its first level possessed such power.
"With the Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique, doing anything will be much more convenient." Zhou Hao murmured. He was only three years old now, and it was difficult for him to go elsewhere to check in, but the Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique could solve that problem.
Lying on the bed, he gradually closed his eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
The next day.
A streak of golden morning light spilled down.
Zhou Hao opened his eyes and heard movement in the living room.
"Ying'er, aren't you going to eat breakfast?" Seeing her daughter walk out of her room clad in full armor, Wang Rong could not help but feel distressed and worried.
Starting today,
her daughter would be heading into the Wilderness Zone to fight.
Since the Great Nirvana, the slaughter between humanity and monsters had been concentrated mainly in the Wilderness Zone. Countless martial artists had died there.
Wang Rong truly did not want her daughter to enter the Wilderness Zone.
But she knew she could not stop her, nor could she persuade her otherwise. Her daughter had chosen the path of a martial artist because she wanted to kill monsters and avenge her father.
Zhou Ying'er smiled. "I won't eat. Sister Shen is waiting outside. Mom, don't worry. If we run into danger, Sister Shen will be there."
Wang Rong felt somewhat relieved. Shen Hong was a rather famous martial artist in Mingyue Residential Area, and she was strong.
"Should I wake your brother up?"
Zhou Ying'er paused. Just as she was about to say no, she saw Zhou Hao's door crack open, revealing a little head.
"Big Sis, come back early." A childish voice rang out.
Zhou Ying'er's nose tingled. The Wilderness Zone was dangerous, and accidents happened often. If she died there, this family would collapse.
But she had to go.
"You little brat, stay home and behave. Don't run around and make Mom worry." With that, she strode away without looking back.
Not long after Zhou Ying'er left,
Zhou Hao picked up a backpack and went straight to the living room. "Mom, I'm going to see Big Sis off at the entrance. You don't need to make food for me. After I see her off, I'll go to the Training Hall."
Wang Rong had only just heard his voice when she saw Zhou Hao already running toward the villa's courtyard gate. Helplessly, she called out, "Remember to come back for lunch!"
"Got it."
The moment he left the villa, Zhou Hao used the Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique, completely concealing his vitality and aura.
After his Mental Power reached the War God Level,
his physical fitness had also broken through to the Mid-level General rank.
At full speed,
he could easily reach 150 m/s. If he used Mental Power, his speed could directly double.
Zhou Ying'er had not gone far. She first met up with Shen Hong, then waited for a while at the entrance of Mingyue Residential Area. Once the other members of the Rose Squad had all arrived, the group drove to the train station.
But no one noticed
that a little fellow was following behind them.
Zhou Hao followed closely behind Zhou Ying'er. First, he wanted to leave the base city to check in. Second, he was worried about his sister.
After all, other than fighting monsters during her martial artist assessment, his sister had spent all her time training at the training camp.
And today was her first time entering the Wilderness Zone.
On the train,
Shen Hong looked at Zhou Ying'er and smiled. "Don't be nervous. We'll rest at the martial artist supply base in the military district first. Once we reach the Wilderness Zone, you can use low-level Soldier-level Monsters to train yourself. After you get used to it, we'll head to County City No. 0172."
"Yeah, Ying'er, Sister Shen is right. No need to be nervous." Zhang Yi said carelessly as he continuously wiped down his sniper rifle. He glanced at Zhou Ying'er, then added, "Besides, you've got me. If danger comes up, one bullet will settle it for you."
The others said nothing.
But smiles appeared on their faces as well.
The captain had recruited Zhou Ying'er into the squad, and they welcomed her. Zhou Ying'er was not weak. Although she had not fought many monsters, she was still a High-level Warrior, and her potential was considerable.
Zhou Ying'er gave a soft hum.
Clank, clank.
The train soon left the base city and arrived at the military district not long after.
Zhou Hao followed them off the train.
However, he did not enter the military district. Instead, he sprinted alone toward the Wilderness Zone. He had already determined the Rose Squad's destination, so he would return in the evening.
It was summer now.
The weather was scorching.
Most squads would not enter the Wilderness Zone during the day.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The moment he stepped into the Wilderness Zone, he saw Unicorn Wild Boars. This type of low-level monster was far too common in the Wilderness Zone. With a slight movement of his mind,
a Series 7 Flying Dagger from his backpack streaked through the air in a series of afterimages.
It easily pierced through a Unicorn Wild Boar's head.
Blood and brain matter exploded outward.
"It really feels great controlling flying daggers as a Mental Power Master." Zhou Hao smiled. He had secretly bought the flying daggers this month. After all, he had accumulated quite a few Chinese Dollars from three years of check-ins, and keeping them around was a waste.
A Series 7 Flying Dagger could even pierce a Low-level Lord-class Monster.
Killing a Unicorn Wild Boar like this was far too easy.
Pfft, pfft, pfft.
Before long,
Zhou Hao had killed more than a dozen Soldier-level Monsters.
"Too bad I don't have a shield. If I had one, I could control it to fly..." Looking at the ruined high-rises in the distance, he shook his little head.
"System, check in."
Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in at the Wilderness Zone. You have obtained the Microscopic Movement Technique. Ding! Congratulations to the host... You have obtained an A5 Blood Shadow Battle Saber. Ding! Congratulations to the host... You have obtained a D5 Combat Suit. Ding! Congratulations to the host... You have obtained a B5 Shield.
Hearing this,
Zhou Hao raised an eyebrow.
He had only just arrived in the Wilderness Zone.
A complete set of battle saber, shield, and combat suit had arrived, along with a movement technique.
It saved him quite a bit of money.
After claiming the rewards, he discovered that the battle saber, combat suit, and shield were all child-sized, perfectly suited for him to use now.
"Heh, the system really is thoughtful." After sighing in admiration, he controlled the shield with Mental Power and shot forward.
Boom.
The air burst apart, producing wave after wave of violent sonic booms.
With War God Level Mental Power, his speed was simply astonishing.
In less than half a minute,
the distant ruined high-rises were right before him.
Quite a few monsters lurked within this abandoned county city.
Zhou Hao dispelled the Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique, and his figure immediately appeared.
Roar, roar.
Seeing the human figure that had suddenly appeared, a large number of monsters roared one after another.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Nine flying daggers gleamed with cold light as they traced elegant arcs through the air, piercing one Soldier-level Monster after another below.
Controlling the shield to descend,
boom.
A General-level Three-tailed Tiger Cat sprang out from one of the buildings.
Having reached the Microscopic level, Zhou Hao's reactions were extremely fast. He used Mental Power on the shield and shifted half a meter to the left, dodging the Three-tailed Tiger Cat's pounce.
At the same time,
the battle saber in his hand slashed out fiercely.
It sliced straight along the Three-tailed Tiger Cat's body.
Rip.
Blood splattered through the air.
The General-level Three-tailed Tiger Cat crashed heavily to the ground, the light fading from its eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Hao revealed a satisfied smile.
His month of hard training had not been in vain. Without using his flying daggers, he had killed a Low-level General so easily.
He descended, and the surrounding Soldier-level Monsters had long since scattered and fled.
Using his battle saber, he collected the valuable materials from the Three-tailed Tiger Cat. He did not spare the other Soldier-level Monsters he had killed either. After all, buying the Series 7 Flying Daggers had nearly exhausted all the check-in rewards from the past three years.
These materials
could be sold for money.
Glancing at the sky, he did not linger any longer. He used the Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique and immediately returned to the base city.
At nearly eleven thirty, Zhou Hao returned to Mingyue Residential Area.
"Mom, I'm back." Carrying his bulging backpack, he crossed the living room, called out once, then slipped into his room and placed the backpack in the corner by his bed.
He went to take a shower as well.
Only then did he sit down on the living room sofa.
Wang Rong, busy in the kitchen, soon brought out dish after dish. "You didn't cause trouble today, did you?"
Zhou Hao quickly shoveled rice into his mouth. "No. What trouble could I cause at the Training Hall?"
"That's good." Wang Rong wiped her hands on her apron and looked at Zhou Hao. "In a little over half a year, you'll be four. It'll be time for you to start kindergarten."
Zhou Hao replied casually, "Sure, Mom. You can arrange it when the time comes."
He was only brushing her off.
His Original Body was trapped in the Dim Land, and now that his Clone could finally cultivate, he wished he could go everywhere every day to check in and increase his strength.
How could he possibly attend school step by step like everyone else?
Wang Rong felt greatly comforted. Her son might be mischievous and love running around, but he was obedient. In that regard, he was much better than other children.
"Eat more." Watching Zhou Hao wolf down his food, she smiled.
