Greatsword Proficiency

"Whew, whew..."

Wang Hao dragged the greatsword behind him, breathing heavily. His arms were numb, and his chest felt tight.

Even with his innate Divine Power, Ding Haojie was still a Martial Master capable of using Hidden Force attacks. After several clashes, Wang Hao's blood and qi had been shaken into turmoil. He could not hold out much longer.

"You really are a freak." Ding Haojie stared at Wang Hao in shock, unable to believe what he was seeing. Having strength comparable to his was one thing, but Wang Hao was even faster. Worse still, he had comprehended footwork at the Peak of Perfection, allowing him to evade Ding Haojie's attacks with ease.

What Ding Haojie found most impossible to accept was that Wang Hao's cultivation was actually lower than his by an entire major realm.

"You're the freak. Your whole family is full of freaks." Wang Hao glared at Ding Haojie while asking the system whether it had any greatsword techniques.

"To wield a weapon, one must first master the fundamental principles of that weapon. The system recommends that the host learn Greatsword Proficiency."

"Greatsword Proficiency?!" Wang Hao froze. "What the hell is that? Never mind, exchange it directly."

Ding dong. Congratulations, host, on exchanging for Greatsword Proficiency. Cost: 50,000 points. Remaining: 114,699 points.

"Fifty thousand?!" Wang Hao's heart ached.

At the same time, a figure appeared in Wang Hao's mind, rapidly wielding a greatsword. The essence and key principles of the five greatsword forms—slash, cleave, chop, sweep, and block—were all imprinted in his mind.

Ding dong. Congratulations, host, on comprehending Thorough Comprehension-level Greatsword Proficiency.

Wang Hao took a deep breath, raised his sword, and charged Ding Haojie. The greatsword rose and fell in a straight line. It was a simple, clean strike, yet it fully displayed the profound meaning of the chop form.

"What?!"

Ding Haojie's eyes widened as he stared at Wang Hao. That strike had absolutely reached the realm of Thorough Comprehension.

But when Wang Hao had used the greatsword earlier, he had clearly been a complete beginner. He had only known how to swing it around wildly, with no idea how to properly wield it. So why could he suddenly use it now—and even execute the chop technique at the Thorough Comprehension level?

At that moment, not only Ding Haojie, but even the people watching the livestream could not believe it. Why was this happening?!

Could it be that Wang Hao had already comprehended Thorough Comprehension-level Greatsword Proficiency earlier and had merely been waiting to catch them off guard?!

Su Mu watched Wang Hao in the footage, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. This child kept exceeding his expectations. Wang Hao had not only comprehended footwork at the Peak of Perfection, but had also comprehended the fundamental mysteries of the greatsword to Thorough Comprehension.

Then there were his terrifying strength, speed, and perception, all of which delighted Su Mu beyond measure. Any person possessing just one of those abilities would be a genius admired by countless people. Yet all of them had gathered in one person. He truly could not imagine how high Wang Hao's future achievements would reach.

But Su Mu was certain of one thing: this was a super genius several times more powerful than even Wang Tianyi.

What he needed to do now was protect this child and allow him to grow as quickly as possible.

"Senior Su, have you noticed that this brat Wang Hao has already been fighting for over ten minutes?" Principal Zhong Li reminded him from the side.

"Over ten minutes?!" Su Mu was stunned, then abruptly came to his senses. More than ten minutes had indeed passed since Wang Hao and Ding Haojie began fighting. Such endurance was simply not something a Martial Apprentice Level Eight could possess.

"It seems Wang Hao is not only powerful in speed, strength, and mental power. Even his endurance is unbelievably formidable!" Principal Zhong Li sighed. Just what kind of monster had Wang Tianyi given birth to?!

Meanwhile, Le Xuan and Xia Weiwei had joined forces and successfully defeated Ding Haoxuan.

But when the two women saw how ridiculously fierce Wang Hao was, they instantly felt awful. Was Wang Hao the Martial Master, or were they the Martial Masters?!

"Haha! The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the Cuckoo in the Back!" A burst of laughter rang out as three men appeared on the beach.

Le Xuan and Xia Weiwei's expressions changed drastically. They turned around, only to see a Hand Grenade flying toward them.

"Not good!"

Without a second thought, the two women hurriedly leaped aside.

Boom, boom, boom!!

A thunderous explosion erupted, flames scattering in every direction. Le Xuan and Xia Weiwei fell to the ground, their blood and qi churning in their chests as they spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Wang Hao turned his head and saw the two women sprawled on the ground, already unable to continue fighting.

"Fuck, disasters never come alone!"

Wang Hao had a headache. He had not even dealt with Ding Haojie's group yet, and now another group had arrived. Was this really necessary?!

"Wang Hao, only by joining forces can you and I break this deadlock." Ding Haojie deeply regretted provoking Wang Hao's group. He had assumed that two delicate young girls and a Martial Apprentice Level Eight burden would not be particularly strong. But who the fuck knew that each of them would be crazier and stronger than the last?

Especially Wang Hao, whom Ding Haojie had considered dead weight. He was ridiculously fierce, nothing like a normal person. Ding Haojie felt as though he had encountered a humanoid beast.

"I've never liked teaming up with men. Get the fuck out of my way." Wang Hao sprayed Ding Haojie in the face, then shouted directly at the system in his mind, "Upgrade Greatsword Proficiency to Peak of Perfection."

Ding dong. Congratulations, host. Greatsword Proficiency has reached the Peak of Perfection. Cost: 100,000 Villain Points.

"One hundred thousand?!" Wang Hao's heart clenched again. Now, not even the heavens themselves could stop him from committing spectacularly wicked deeds during the Hundred Schools Competition. He would definitely earn back the points he had lost.

"Roar!"

Wang Hao let out a furious roar. An invisible gale surged outward from him, then he leaped into the air. The greatsword flowed through his hands like drifting clouds and running water before finally crashing down vertically.

Boom, boom, boom!!

When the greatsword struck the ground, vicious cracks spread outward. An invisible shockwave shook the earth several times in an instant, and ripples spread across the sea's surface.

The three men who had planned to be the Cuckoo in the Back stared at the greatsword before them in terror. Holy fuck, Peak of Perfection-level Greatsword Proficiency? What kind of monster was this?!

When they had been watching from the side just now, had he not only been at Thorough Comprehension? Why had he suddenly reached the Peak of Perfection?!

At the same time, Ding Haojie—and the countless people on Earth watching the livestream—were equally terrified.

Could someone please tell them whether something was wrong with their eyes?!

Could mastering a martial technique truly be this fast?!

"What did you just say?" Wang Hao pointed his greatsword at the three men, his expression colder than ice.

One scrawny man stammered, "B-B-Boss, it's all a misunderstanding. We didn't say anything. We came specifically to deliver ammunition to you."

The other two men nodded repeatedly, hurriedly taking out all their equipment and ammunition and placing them before Wang Hao.

"The Points Plates." Wang Hao snorted.

The three men pulled the Points Plates from around their necks with miserable expressions and handed them to Wang Hao.

"My teammates were injured by you. What do you think should be done about that?" Wang Hao slammed his greatsword into the ground, cold light gleaming in his eyes.

The three men were scared half to death. Without daring to hesitate, they swiftly transferred all the money from their bank cards to Wang Hao, totaling 1.2 million...
