Chapter 25-Test of Strength

"Who are you?" Qin Hao looked at the shadow in front of him in shock. Then, his pupils shrank and shouted, "It's you!"

This person was actually Wang Zhong, the doorkeeper from An Ru’s house.

"Kid, not bad, you actually was able to take my punch." Wang Zhong stood here and said plainly.

Qin Hao was so angry that he wanted to curse. Fucking bastard, you attacked me from behind, if I don’t take it, I would die with no doubt. Although he was angry, Qin Hao realized the terrible power of Wang Zhong. He must have been following Qin Hao all the way here, but Qin Hao didn't notice it until Wang Zhong attacked him. Qin Hao realized that Wang Zhong was definitely stronger than him.

"My guess is right, you are indeed a Martial Cultivator. You actually have this kind of strength at such a young age. Who is your master, and which ancient martial sect did you come from? "Wang Zhong continued.

Qin Hao snorted, "No master, no sect."

"Impossible." Wang Zhong did not believe him.

“Believe me or not, it’s up to you." Qin Hao snorted, at the same time, he began to start the Eternity Spell inside his body and slowly calmed down the boiling blood in his body.

"Kid, you have a lot of personal character, but people with personality usually won't be able to live long. Take a few more attacks from me." As soon as he finished his words, Wang Zhong soared into the sky. A huge foot descended from the sky, rapidly stomping down towards Qin Hao. The leg swept in the air, emitting an ear-piercing whistling sound.

As of fist and foot techniques, Qin Hao knew nothing and it was a weakness of him. If he was facing a Martial Cultivator with lower strength, Qin Hao would not be afraid, but if he met Martial Cultivator with equal or even higher strength, this weakness would easily exposure. Especially when facing the Martial Cultivator with similar strength, fists and feet techniques were the key factor to win.

Facing Wang Zhong's powerful kick, Qin Hao was unable to find a way to deal with. He could only rolling down the mountain awkwardly and shot out a few needles at the same time. This was his only ultimate attack.

It was very difficult to avoid the needles with the naked eye especially in the dark. But for experts, they could easily discover that. Wang Zhong detected the flying silver needles and hastily withdrew his feet. He slapped a tree branch beside him and his body flew out, landing firmly on the ground. To be able to complete these movements so easily in the midair, he was truly an expert.

Wang Zhong stood on a rock and looked down the hill. His hawk-liked eyes tore through the darkness, scanning his surroundings.

Unexpectedly, there was no trace of Qin Hao. It was unknown where he had hidden himself. But soon, he discovered the tip of a shoe was exposed in the clump of grass. If he did not look carefully, it would be difficult to find in the dark.

"Come out, stop hiding." Wang Zhong stared at the toe of the shoe and said with a smile.

Qin Hao was still hiding in the underbrush, covering his head with the grass. However, he didn't notice that the underbrush was too small, and his toes weren't able to be covered.

"Damn, it's not that easy to scare me, l won't go out." Qin Hao continued to remain stay with no movement. When the strong wind blew over his head, he realized that he had been discovered. He jumped out of the bush over meters high with a "swoosh" and used all his strength to sweep out with his leg in midair.

"Bam."

The legs crashed, Qin Hao felt as if his leg had been broken. His body was kicked out and sent flying away. After a ninety degree turn, he heavily fell onto the ground. This time, he could not hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood. This guy was simply too strong, Qin Hao wasn't able to contend with him.

In fact, Wang Zhong was also very surprised. When he landed, he retreated a few steps before standing steady. His felt waves of numbness from his leg.

He felt that Qin Hao was only at the middle period of the Beginning Stage, how could he possess such strength? Wang Zhong was amazed. What surprised him more was that Qin Hao could stand up slowly.

"I have nothing against you, what are you going to do?" Qin Hao wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed a fierce look. If Wang Zhong kept moving, then he could only fight it out. Even if he died, he would made Wang Zhong pay a price.

Wang Zhong could also see that Qin Hao had gotten really angry. If he continued, Qin Hao would really fight with his life. Hence, he softened his tone and said, "Kid, don't be angry. I am just testing your strength."

"Fuck!" Qin Hao was even angrier. Was this a test? It almost took his life.

"Have you tested enough? If there's nothing else, I will be away." Qin Hao said while holding back his anger. It was still because he wasn't strong enough. Otherwise, he would rush up and slap Wang Zhong in the face.

"The test is over. You're not bad, but it's a pity that with your current strength, you won't be able to cure Mother An’s illness." Qin Hao was stunned by hearing Wang Zhong's words.

"You know about her mother's illness?" Qin Hao was surprised. He looked at Wang Zhong. Since he knew about Mother An's illness, why didn't he treat her?

"The root cause of her illness is that someone left a surge of Qi in her brain." Wang Zhong continued, "I tried to expel that wave of Qi, but in vein. Instead, it caused her illness to become even more severe. Even with my strength, I can’t make it. I am afraid your strength will make it even worse. "

Qin Hao finally understood why An Ru wanted to invite him to help her. It turned out that Wang Zhong couldn’t do it. He couldn't help to look down upon Wang Zhong and thought to himself, "If I had your strength, I would have cured Mother An long time ago."

"How's your current strength?" Qin Hao asked curiously.

"Early period of the Inner Stage."

Qin Hao was enlightened. The "Inner stage" was equivalent to the strength of a Second Stage Martial Cultivator. No wonder that he was no match for him.

"This is for you. It might be helpful in raising your strength." Wang Zhong waved his hand and something flew towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao hurriedly caught it and took a look. It was an irregular black rock.

"What's the use of this shabby rock?" As Qin Hao was about to throw it away, he suddenly felt a surge of Spirit Qi coming from the rock. Although it was weak, it was still spirit strength. Was this a spirit stone? Qin Hao was overjoyed. The anger he had towards Wang Zhong earlier had disappeared. Such a precious item, It was the biggest compensation from Wang Zhong.

"Where did you find this rock? Is there anything else?" Qin Hao had a greedy look on his face.

"This rock is called “Black Star Stone”. It was left behind by the meteorite from outer space. It contains the Spirit Qi that we Martial Cultivators need inside." Wang Zhong explained, "This kind of stone is extremely rare. This is also the first time I got this kind of stone while exploring the Kumu Kuli Desert. I only have one piece and hope it will be of some help to you."

Honestly speaking, this thing was very good, but it was small and the Spirit Qi was also weak. It was unrealistic that it could be of great help to his cultivation. Qin Hao wondered, should he explore the rock in Kumu Kuli Desert as well?

Wang Zhong seemed to have seen through Qin Hao’s thoughts and he warned him in a serious tone, “The Kumu Kuli Desert is the highest desert in our country and the world, and it is a dead land. I advise you not to think about it. Even if I go there, only death awaits me, not to mention your strength."

"Aren't you alive now?" Qin Hao said disapprovingly.

Wang Zhong fell into silence. His face showed a hint of pain, as if he recalled a painful memory. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "That time, we had fifty people and made sufficient preparations. Do you know how many people came back in the end?"

Looking at Wang Zhong's painful expression, Qin Hao shook his head indifferently.

"I'm the only one who came out." After saying that, Wang Zhong turned around and did not say another word. That sorrowful figure disappeared into the darkness. He left some words: "I hope that you can quickly cure Mother An's illness. If you have any problems in the future, I will definitely help you."

Qin Hao stood in the night wind and looked at the sorrowful figure. By hearing Wang Zhong's last words, a dirty thought appeared in his mind, "Fuck, why does he care so much about An Ru's mother? Could this guy have something to do with Mother An? Damn."

Qin Hao shook off that dirty thought and turned to leave. On the way back, he thought for a long time and decided to go to the Kumu Kuli Desert sometime. He didn't care much about Wang Zhong's warning. As there was a saying,"wealth comes from danger." He would pay more attention. Wang Zhong must underestimate the desert's destructive power. Perhaps only those who had been there would be able to understand the terror and danger.

After returning to the rented house, he wanted to check if Su Xue had come back when he went upstairs, so he sent out his Spirit Sense.

Su Xue came back and she was taking a shower in the bathroom.

Qin Hao had planned to directly go upstairs to his own room. When he found out that Su Xue was taking shower, he could not step out any further as if he was fixed by magic incantation. The wonderful body and that pair of big breasts emerged in his minds, which he had imaged for many times before.

When he thought about that pair of big breasts, he felt he couldn't fall asleep without seeing them. Although he could only look, it was a better than doing nothing. In the end, after struggling in his heart, he turned around and walked towards Su Xue's room.
