Chapter 325 – Plans for the Future

The young boy had recovered by this time.

Being injured by Su Hao made him furious.

He took two steps back, assumed a stance, and performed several sets of punches on the ground. After warming up, he shouted “Yaaah!” and charged at Su Hao. Although he didn’t understand why Su Hao had suddenly become so ferocious, he believed that as long as he used the ‘Feng Family’s Eighteen Styles of Boxing,’ anyone would be beaten to the ground by him.

The young boy threw a punch that seemed to carry a strong momentum.

Su Hao narrowed his eyes and immediately judged that the punch had some skill behind it. He thought to himself, “A world of martial artists? Looking at this punch, it seems to contain something else. My current body probably can’t withstand even one blow.”

With that thought, Su Hao shifted his body slightly, extended his middle finger on his right hand, and poked the young boy’s armpit as he threw his punch.

“Aaaargh—”

Another scream echoed as the young boy, clutching his severely injured armpit, jumped high into the air.

What does it feel like to have your armpit poked hard?

It probably doesn’t hurt as much as getting hit in the groin!

But judging by the young boy’s pained expression, it seemed to be quite unpleasant!

Su Hao remained silent and walked past the young boy’s attendant, continuing forward.

The young boy actually didn’t dare to approach, watching Su Hao leave with his own eyes.

After that, Su Hao didn’t encounter any more strange things, and he walked around, observing.

The courtyard was very large, indicating it belonged to a major family. With about fifty gardeners, the total number of people working in the courtyard wasn’t excessive, nor was it too small!

Su Hao’s identity was likely that of a third or fourth young master, which wouldn’t be out of place in this courtyard.

In a short while, Su Hao had explored the entire courtyard. The servants lowered their heads and greeted him when they saw him, but Su Hao didn’t speak or acknowledge them, just continued on his way! He acted exactly like a young master!

A moment later, Su Hao’s eyes lit up. He saw the kitchen and, across from it, the Dining Hall!

“Found a place to eat!”

As long as there was food, restoring his strength would be just around the corner.

A glutton was about to emerge in this large courtyard.

…

As Su Hao returned, he mentally made plans for this world:

First step: Refine Blood Qi and upgrade to a high-level Elite Martial Artist as soon as possible, estimated to take three Moons. Blood Qi is the foundation of all of Su Hao’s strength. He must quickly obtain enough Blood Qi energy to activate Rune powers, the more the better.

Second step: Evolve the ‘Summoner talent’, start Mental Cultivation, and evolve to [Bone Demon] at the same time. Estimated time: six Moons.

Third step: Advance to Grandmaster martial artist, use the composite Rune of ‘Perception’, ‘Hardness’, ‘Space Module Generation’, and ‘Negative Space Module Positioning’ as the core Rune, thereby obtaining the Teleportation Flash ability. Estimated time: one Moon.

Fourth step: Accumulate a large amount of Blood Qi to reach the peak of this state. Estimated time: three Moons.

Even including time deviations, Su Hao will have enough self-protection ability in at most one and a half years!

Then comes the fifth step: Collect information, understand the appearance of this world, and determine future learning Objectives.

Moreover, this body is already eight years old, and its strength has basically reached the standard, so he doesn’t need to spend more time growing and adapting!

Just as Su Hao was planning how to acquire knowledge in the future, the young boy whose armpits were tickled by Su Hao earlier blocked Su Hao’s path again.

The young boy pointed at Su Hao and said a few words, then he took a stance and prepared to fight Su Hao, punching the air energetically.

It seemed that the young boy was not willing to accept defeat and wanted to regain his honor.

Su Hao sighed, not expecting to encounter such trouble right after arriving. It seems he didn’t hit hard enough: ‘If only I were still in this weak state, I could wait another two Moons! But…’

‘Even in my weak state, I’m not someone anyone can bully!’

Since it’s just a matter between two young boys and doesn’t involve much, there’s no need to hesitate anymore.

Su Hao slowly walked towards the young boy, faster and faster. When he was two meters away from the boy, he was almost at his physical limit speed.

The young boy let out a yell, shifted his stance, and threw a punch straight out. His eyes flashed with sharp light!

The young boy’s move, ‘Awe-Inspiring Righteous Fist’, was known for its speed, power, and accuracy. It was bound to knock down this useless fifth brother with one punch!

Su Hao tilted his head, dodged the young boy’s punch, and then leaped up, tucking his knees to strike the boy’s chest.

“Thump!”

With a dull thud, the young boy was sent flying by Su Hao and fell backward to the ground.

“Hiss— Hiss—”

The young boy couldn’t even scream. His chest felt tight and breathing was difficult. When he looked at Su Hao again, his face was full of disbelief.

He clutched his chest, kicked his feet back, and Su Hao stepped forward, straddled the young boy, and threw a flurry of punches.

“Bang bang~”

After throwing only a dozen punches, Su Hao was panting like an ox, his arms feeling sore and weak.

He couldn’t help but frown and think, ‘This body’s stamina is too poor! But why is this kid’s body so sturdy? Could it be because he practices martial arts?’

What puzzled him was why his reincarnated body’s original owner didn’t practice martial arts.

The confusion in his heart could only be discussed later. Su Hao dragged his limp arm and stood up, looking down at the young boy. His cold eyes made the boy tremble with fear!

The young boy grumbled inwardly, how could his fifth brother, who was a good-for-nothing, be like a completely different person!

That was about it for now! Su Hao had shown his strength, beating the young boy until his nose bled. It was expected that the boy wouldn’t bother Su Hao for a while. However, if the boy dared to bother him again in a little over ten days, it wouldn’t just be a bloody nose.

Not being able to speak made Su Hao feel very troubled. He thought to himself, “It’s so inconvenient not being able to speak! I can’t even explain myself clearly! Is there a universal language in the universe? Or some kind of spell that, with a ‘poof,’ would let me learn a language…”

Su Hao understood that a universal language in the universe was a pipe dream. Grammar rules were an insurmountable hurdle.

It was like how some languages express things as ‘Subject-Verb-Object,’ while others are ‘Subject-Object-Verb.’

This meant the difference between ‘I married a wife’ and ‘My wife married me’!

“Those who can learn multiple languages are truly outrageous geniuses!”

And Su Hao, who could learn multiple languages in the universe, was an even more terrifying genius! Although this genius was forced out of him.

The young master’s fight didn’t have many follow-ups without a catalyst.

Fighting seemed to be a very common occurrence in this world.

However, Su Hao and the young boy were still summoned before an old woman for questioning. After Su Hao stated that ‘hitting someone was a fact’ and he had ‘nothing more to say,’ Su Hao was punished—confined to his room for a day.

The young boy looked smug, his armpits didn’t seem to hurt as much anymore.

Su Hao, on the other hand, was utterly confused: “What are they talking about? What happened? Does it have anything to do with us?”

…

After this incident, the young boy seemed unwilling to accept being beaten by Su Hao. He wanted to regain his honor, so he trained hard for over a month. Feeling his strength had greatly increased, he found Su Hao again for a duel.

He couldn’t even defeat Su Hao, who had just reincarnated. After Su Hao refined Blood Qi for a month and greatly increased his strength, how could the boy possibly have a chance?

So, he was easily pinned to the ground and beaten again by Su Hao. This time, Su Hao’s strength had recovered more, and he hit even harder!

The young boy cried, his mind filled with questions: “When did my good-for-nothing fifth brother become so fierce? Even my eldest brother isn’t this strong!”

From then on, the young boy no longer dared to provoke Su Hao. Instead, he trained diligently day and night, hoping for the moment his strength would greatly increase so he could get his revenge!

But he was destined to never have the chance to regain his honor!

It’s worth mentioning that after Su Hao displayed his strength, the people in the large courtyard respected him even more. Even the matriarch of the family, the Grandmother, looked at him with kindness and a bit of doting! Even if Su Hao didn’t say a word, she would still pull him close to ask about his well-being!

This gave Su Hao a general understanding of the rules of this world: strength is respected?
