Chapter 9: Chapter 9

“System, will it be dangerous for me to consume it now?”

Su Hao sat cross-legged on the bed and played with the Demonic Core in his palm. According to the records in the book, the Demonic Core contained the cultivation of a demonic beast. The energy inside was uniquely tyrannical and tyrannical.

Thus, when most cultivators consumed demon cores, they would generally use spirit herbs and other supplements. If they directly consumed them, if they were unable to control the energy within, then there was a high chance that they would suffer a backlash, and the consequences of the backlash would be light, damaging their meridians, or even exploding to death.

“No.”

Hearing this, Su Hao lightly nodded his head and no longer hesitated. Opening his mouth, he tilted his head slightly and swallowed the beast core.

In the next second, Su Hao felt some changes in the demon core in his body.

Threads of violent and pure energy spread throughout his body..

Following which, this energy began to cleanse every part of Su Hao’s body.

This made Su Hao a little puzzled. Didn’t the books say that the energy of the Demonic Core was very tyrannical? Why was it different inside his body now?

Just as he was puzzled, the demon core in his body responded.

The energy that was emitted gradually grew stronger. Finally, the entire demon core in his body exploded!

Instantly, an enormous energy filled Su Hao’s body.

If there were outsiders present, they would definitely be able to see Su Hao’s skin turning red. At this moment, his body was also slowly expanding.

“Hiss!”

Due to the impact of the energy, Su Hao felt that every part of his body was burning, especially the part where the Demonic Core was left in his stomach. It was as uncomfortable as burning fire, but his expression was determined. He gritted his teeth and endured it.

As time passed, the energy of the Demonic Core became increasingly terrifying. Blood had already started to seep out from Su Hao’s body. Not long after, Su Hao’s entire body was covered in blood, turning into a bloody person.

But fortunately, just when Su Hao felt that he could not hold on any longer, the energy of the demon core gradually stabilized.

“Sigh.”

Su Hao opened his eyes, and there was an unconcealable exhaustion in his eyes. The consumption of the Demonic Cores this time was even more unbearable than when he fought with the Amethyst Winged Lion. He had already stepped into the gates of hell more than ten times. If it wasn’t for him persevering, he would have exploded into a pool of blood by now.

It could be said that Su Hao’s experience of swallowing the Demonic Core this time was extremely dangerous. However, there was a saying that goes ‘fortune comes from danger’. After the Demonic Core’s energy had finished attacking, Su Hao felt that his physical body had become even stronger. If he were to fight against the Violet-Gold Winged Lion with his current physical body, he wouldn’t be able to move even if he stood there and let it slap him twice.

“Open your personal characteristic panel.”

After thinking for a while, Su Hao said with a weak tone. Very quickly, that familiar interface appeared in front of his eyes again. However, the difference was that the interface data had changed.

[Host: Su Hao]

[Constitution: 540]

[Agility: 540]

Power: 540

Combat Strength: Level 10 Qi Refinement

Su Hao was dumbfounded when he saw this. Although the Purple-Golden Winged Lion had the Ancestral Awakening Bloodline and the grade of its beast core was quite good, Su Hao did not have much hope of breaking through. In his estimation, as long as he could break through one level, it would be his gain.

However, reality proved that he had underestimated the bloodline of the Purple-Golden Winged Lion and the energy contained in the demon core. This actually allowed his physical body to directly reach the tenth level of the Aura Refining realm, crossing three small realms consecutively. This was too exaggerated!

In fact, what Su Hao didn’t know was that if this beast core was swallowed by a body cultivator of the same cultivation realm, then there was a high chance that that cultivator would directly step into the early stage of Foundation Establishment, because no one was like Su Hao, who needed such high Physique Points to improve.

“That’s right! Since demon cores can be consumed to improve one’s physical body, then can the elixirs and spirit herbs consumed by ordinary cultivators also be consumed?”

Su Hao suddenly had this thought. If it was really possible, then he would have to enter a cultivation university, because only by entering a university could he obtain more resources.

After this thought appeared in his mind, he hurriedly asked the system. After receiving the system’s affirmation, Su Hao jumped around on the bed like a child, without any signs of fatigue from before.

….

The next day, in the Demonic Beasts Forest.

“Although my physical body’s battle prowess has increased, I didn’t draw my saber many times yesterday. I have to make up for yesterday’s loss today.”

Su Hao muttered softly as he walked through the forest.

Not long after, Su Hao found an open space suitable for practicing drawing his saber. There were no traces of demonic beasts nearby, so he wasn’t afraid of being disturbed.

Placing his backpack and phone under a tree, Su Hao began to pull out his saber to practice. With his current physical strength and proficiency in drawing his saber, there was almost no gap when Su Hao drew his saber. Slashes after slashes streaked across the space, causing a series of violent sonic booms. Following that, a terrifying and formless force was added to the saber. This force had an indomitable will that looked at death with equanimity. The moment this powerful force appeared, it caused Tang Dao’s blade to tremble slightly and let out a cry that could not bear the burden.

After hearing Tang Dao’s mournful cry, Su Hao frowned. He raised the Tang Dao to his chest, and the force of the Tang Dao gradually dissipated.

“Is there no way to hold on?”

Su Hao let out a bitter laugh. Originally, he had only wanted to use the saber aura that he had comprehended yesterday to practice. However, before he could slash out, the Tang Dao almost could not hold on anymore.

This couldn’t be blamed on Tang Dao. If Su Hao was still the same blade aura that was just born yesterday, Tang Dao would still be able to persist for a period of time. But now, it was different from the past. After Su Hao swallowed the Demonic Core, not only did his physical strength increase, even the newly born blade aura also became stronger.

“Damn!”

With a slight sigh, Su Hao once again pulled out his saber to practice. However, this time, he didn’t have any additional momentum. Right now, he only had this Tang Dao. If the Tang Dao was gone, then he wouldn’t be able to obtain it. As for the wooden saber at home, what a joke. With his current physical strength, as well as his proficiency in drawing his saber, he could draw five strikes in a second. If he were to wield the wooden saber, it would probably be scrapped in less than two minutes.

Just as Su Hao continued to practice, a woman was casting her gaze on him from a thousand meters away in the forest.

The woman wore a light red immortal dress, her appearance enough to topple cities. There was a mole at the corner of her eye, making her peerlessly beautiful, but at the same time adding a bit of charm. Together with her fiery figure that even loose clothes couldn’t hide, it could be said that this woman was simply a stunner of the mortal world!

“Sister, what’s wrong?”

A young girl next to the lady tugged at the corner of the lady’s clothes and asked in a sweet voice.

The girl looked 70% similar to the girl. Although she was young, one could still tell that she was a little beauty. When she grew up, she would probably be as beautiful as the girl and become a beauty that could bring ruin to a country and its people.

The woman lowered her head slightly upon hearing this, and a doting smile appeared on her beautiful face. She patted the little girl’s head and said in a gentle voice, “It’s nothing. Big Sister was just taking a look at something.”

“Eh? What is it? Can Sister tell Little Yuan?”

The little girl blinked her large, black eyes at her elder sister. Leng Xianxue’s heart almost melted.

“Of course. Not far to the east, there’s a big brother practicing his saber there.”

“Eh? This big brother must be very powerful!”

Leng Xianyuan said in a childish voice. That was because those who could be watched by her elder sister were usually the powerful older brothers and sisters in school!

“Very impressive.”

Leng Xianxue smiled and nodded her head lightly. Then, she recalled Su Hao’s saber move. That saber move already had saber aura. Normally, to comprehend saber aura, one would need to be at least at the Foundation Establishment realm to be qualified. But that person in the forest was different. Through her observations, Su Hao could be said to have no cultivation at all. A mortal without any cultivation could actually comprehend saber aura! This was simply inconceivable. What was even more terrifying was that his saber aura was extremely powerful. It was so powerful that even the upper-grade Mortal Saber in his hand could not withstand it. If this were to happen in the future, it would be hard to imagine how Saber Intent would transform.

This was enough to prove how talented Su Hao was. If he was even more talented than Li Ye, then he would be evil.

At the thought of this, Leng Xianxue’s eyes suddenly lit up. She began to carefully size up Su Hao. Judging from his age, he should be around 18 years old. If nothing went wrong, he should be this year’s examination candidate. No wonder he didn’t have any cultivation.

Normally, one could only start cultivating when they reached 18 years old and officially entered university. Otherwise, if there were any problems with cultivating at home and there were no cultivators at home, they could basically wait for death.

“Then can sister bring Little Yuan to see that big brother?”

Xiao Yuan’s big eyes were filled with anticipation. Leng Xianxue smiled and nodded.

Leng Xianxue had no way of rejecting Little Yuan’s adorable appearance. Furthermore, she had no intention of rejecting him. With a demon like Su Hao, who knew how many veteran first-class academies wanted him!

Even though her academy had only been opened for three years, because of her own strength, her academy only used two years to squeeze into the bottom tier of first-rate academies.

Although she was at the bottom of the rankings, her school had only been open for three years! Because of this, her school had shocked Shanghai! It had completely made a name for itself in Shanghai.

However, Leng Xianxue’s goal wasn’t just to get into a first-rate school. She wanted to turn her school into one of the top schools in the world!

The current Su Hao allowed her to see this hope. As long as she nurtured Su Hao into a peerless genius within the academy, then in the next Academy Competition, there would be hope of raising the academy’s ranking!

“Let’s go!”

At the thought of this, Leng Xianxue was even more excited than Little Yuan. She hurriedly pulled Little Yuan’s hand and rushed towards Su Hao’s seat.

“Yay! Let’s go see big brother!”

Xiao Yuan happily skipped along. Compared to Leng Xianxue, Xiao Yuan’s motive was very simple. He really just wanted to see Su Hao.
