Chapter 101: Sunderer of Hundreds (II)
“The scholarly sort!” Mu Sen sighed with emotion. “A fake scholar like Yuan Shuo somehow managed to raise a true scholar! I wonder what Li Hao thinks of his teacher now—his frail and gentle professor has suddenly turned into a demon who kills without blinking!”
He was frantic for Li Hao just thinking about it!
Liu Yan smiled woodenly and quickly changed the topic. “Inspector General, I’d like to retrieve something!”
Cut the crap! You wonder what Li Hao thinks of his teacher now? Don’t even bother wasting time on that! I’m more worried that Yuan Shuo can’t accept his student being a serial killer!
A merry Mu Sen led Liu Yan inside. He loved chit chatting with beautiful women. What a pity that Liu Yan was a rose with thorns. He enjoyed the flirting, but wouldn’t dare to catch anything if she threw herself at him.
......
At the same time.
Li Hao traveled straight to the Veteris Institute instead of returning home. His teacher’s was safer at a time like this. If trouble arose when he conducted power into himself, his teacher might have a way to resolve it.
......
The Yuan residence.
Yuan Shuo was home; there weren’t many supernaturals lingering around Silver City. He killed a few while making a circuit and didn’t know if there were more, but if there were, they would soon vanish after learning about the deaths of the others.
There were no protectors standing guard over him anymore. He didn’t need them. Hu Hao and Li Meng were preoccupied, in any case. They couldn’t wait to start practicing the New Book of Five Styles. Neither did Yuan Shuo want anyone keeping an eye on him, so he sent them all away.
The yard was empty when Li Hao arrived. Despite the presence of lights, it was almost midnight. Silver City had slept much more peacefully over the past two days.
“Teacher!” Li Hao saw Yuan Shuo in the living room. He realized he was hungry when he saw the professor eating—he hadn’t eaten anything in twenty-four hours.
“Want some?”
“Thank you, teacher!” Li Hao sat down without another word and dug in, coming up for air when his mouth was smeared with grease.
Yuan Shuo wasn’t much better when he ate. Smiling merrily, he looked at his student with rare tenderness. Ah, I’ve truly gotten old. Now that I’m injured, I should prepare to take off my armor and return to the fields. It’s time to raise a student to inherit my banks of knowledge.
He held too many ancient tomes in his mind, ones that he’d destroyed the originals for. It would be an immense pity if they were completely lost after he died. He’d wanted to take a few years to pass on everything he knew to Li Hao. The lad wasn’t the heir to his martial dao, but to his knowledge.
He’d taught the New Book of Five Styles to Li Hao just so the boy would be healthier. Who knew that would bizarrely lead him to the martial master path? Yuan Shuo had accepted a student only because of his old injuries, but that somehow facilitated his breakthrough to Dominator of Thousands.This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★
The professor was actually quite satisfied with this student of his; it was a pity he was going to be very busy in the upcoming months. There might not be much free time to impart his learnings to the lad. It was a regretful realization.
“Little Hao!”
“Hurry up and begin! Show me this process!” The professor threw Li Hao onto a seat cushion.
“Teacher!” Li Hao interjected. “Let’s not be in a hurry. I can sense that I’m about to enter Sunderer of Hundreds, but what is that level? What are its characteristics? What do I need to keep an eye out for as I make the breakthrough?”
He didn’t know any of this!
Yuan Shuo started, coming back to his senses with a mixture of emotions. Although he’d kept saying that Li Hao would soon progress to Sunderer, it was another thing entirely to actually see his student break through.
When did he ascend to that level?
Yuan Shuo started training as a young boy and became a Slayer when he was a teenager. He crossed into Sunderer in his twenties, reaching peak Sunderer in his forties. He then swept through the martial dao society of Silver Moon and dominated the local scene. The next thirty years were spent on trying to break through to Dominator, and he didn’t succeed until recently.
But Li Hao...
The rise of the supernatural was also good for martial masters as they could use mysterious power to more easily strengthen themselves. Numerous thoughts flashed through Yuan Shuo’s mind, settling on guilt that he hadn’t taught the lad any of this. The final disciple of a Dominator not knowing martial dao? It would be so shameful if word of this got out!
“I mentioned before that Slayer and Sunderer focuses purely on physical strength! Dominator touches on the mental level—what we often refer to as the consciousness! Thus, Dominators are easiest to identify and determine!
“Slayers produce internal force, resonating their meridians and bones in unison. These characteristics represent that you have truly joined the ranks of martial masters! Internal force originates from the daily practice of martial methods and secret arts. We have another avenue now in the form of absorbing unattributed mysterious power. It fortifies the body and swiftly generates internal force. However, this may be a double edged sword, so consider its use wisely!
“Slayer of Tens is the process of strengthening internal force. The stronger internal force is, the stronger the body. This holds true no matter the context!
“Sunderers... are determined through battle. In the past, one was deemed a Sunderer only after defeating a company of one hundred troops on the battlefield! This is less important in modern times as it’s hard to find a company willing to fight you without hot weapons!
“Thus, cultivation level is one thing and actual combat strength is another in our times!”
Li Hao bobbed his head as he listened intently.
“There’s one hallmark of Sunderers, and that is the projection of internal force!”
The young man jerked with surprise.
“Whether it’s mysterious power or internal force, the human body acts as a seal for both of them! When your internal force can reach beyond the body to project outward, protecting oneself and attacking enemies, that means you have reached the Sunderer cultivation level!”
“External projection? Teacher, how is that achieved?”
“It’s a natural reaction from the body, not an action you purposefully undertake. Your internal force will naturally extend outward and break a barrier when you reach Sunderer. All you need is the requisite physique and powerful internal force!”
That sounded easy, but in reality... Well, Li Hao still thought it was very easy. So it’s just external projection! I get it!
“Then there must be a division of strong and weak among Sunderers. How do we determine that?”
“In the traditional martial master world, we divide Sunderers into the initial, mid, late, and peak stage. They correspond to the Crescent, Halfmoon, and Fullmoon of the supernatural Darkmoon. For them, there’s also a Plenilune[1] before they set foot into Sunflare. It should correlate with the peak stage of Sunderers. The moon perfects itself only to wane, a concept that also applies to peak Sunderers! Those who are unable to progress beyond this stage will begin to decline instead!"
1. Plenilune: the time of the full moon. From Latin plenilunium, plenus meaning full, lunium from luna moon. ☜
