Chapter 367 The South Will Open

Chapter 368 The South Will Open (Bonus Chapter for Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze!)

He has no shortage of life essence. In fact, Lu Hao plans to kill a few Rank 9 demonic plants in Tiannan this time, so that he can obtain a large amount of life essence. Others want to obtain it but do not have a decisive means, and the demonic plants will recover by relying on life essence. Lu Hao is different. Killing them with one blow is not a problem for him.

As for the mental energy split, Wang Jinyang was able to use it correctly.

This can also be considered their trump card.

"What is this? A storage ring?"

Qin Fengqing shouted, and the next moment he subconsciously covered his mouth. He was simply taking the burying his head in the sand to the extreme. If Lu Hao hadn't prepared in advance and set up a mental barrier here, the whole world would have known about Qin Fengqing's shout.

"Alright, stop yelling. It's just a storage ring. Keep it safe and don't show it off too much. If anyone asks how you got it, just say I gave it to you. Let's see who dares to bully the weak."

Lu Hao said with a sneer.

"Brother Lu—no, Godfather, you are my true Godfather—"

Qin Fengqing fawned over him, after all, he hadn't expected Lu Hao to give him such a big surprise. This was a storage ring, something even a ninth-grade expert wouldn't have, probably only those at the pinnacle of cultivation possessed, and now they had one too. "Lu Hao, this—" Wang Jinyang was a little embarrassed, after all, he had already received too many benefits from Lu Hao, and now he was only being asked to accept the storage ring, he was really embarrassed.

"Alright, Lao Wang, just take it if it's yours. Learn from Qin Fengqing's shameless attitude."

Lu Hao handed the storage ring to Wang Jinyang and said.

"There's even life essence in here? Brother Lu, do you need another lackey? From now on, I'll be your loyal lackey."

"Alright, stop fooling around. Consider this life essence as my support for you guys going down into the underground caves to find Teacher Wang—..."

Wang Jinyang, listening to Lu Hao, had tears welling up in his eyes. Men don't easily shed tears, but he hadn't reached the point of heartbreak. Everyone else had given up hope, but Lu Hao was so supportive and gave him so much help. He didn't know how to repay Lu Hao.

"Alright, you can keep these. You can use them if you get injured in the dungeon. I don't need them."

Neither Wang Jinyang nor Qin Fengqing said anything more, but kept this kindness in their hearts.

Li Changsheng, standing to the side, looked at Wang Jinyang and Qin Fengqing with envy. Just because they followed Lu Hao, they now even had storage rings. He was truly envious.

On April 25th, all the summoned Grandmasters headed to Tiannan. Lu Hao, Wu Kuishan, and Huang Jing set off together. Upon arriving in Tiannan, the entire Qingmang Mountain was sealed off, and towns near Qingmang Mountain were being relocated. Qingmang Mountain was being transformed into a massive military base, with various weapons locked on it. After all, if anything went wrong in this national war involving hundreds of Grandmasters, China couldn't withstand it, but they couldn't afford not to fight.

Lu Hao and his two companions quickly entered the military base, where many Grandmasters had already gathered. Leading them was Nan Yunyue. Lu Hao could clearly see this woman's strength; she had reached the peak of the ninth rank, just one step away from breaking through to the pinnacle. This step wouldn't be difficult for her, but Lu Hao could clearly see her internal condition. Years of battle had left her body somewhat depleted. While proving herself to the pinnacle in one step might be manageable under normal circumstances, it would be problematic in a major battle against the underground warriors. However, it wasn't a huge problem; he could simply replenish her with life essence, and then it would be fine. Lu Hao wasn't in a hurry; he could tell her later when he had time.

Seeing Lu Hao and his two companions enter, Nan Yunyue was also somewhat curious. After all, Lu Hao was too young, and she had only heard of him but had never seen him. "This is Lu Hao? Reaching the ninth rank at such a young age, he truly has a bright future ahead of him."

"Minister Nan is too kind. I was able to advance to the ninth rank by luck. If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't have been able to advance."

"What's the point of luck? Luck is also part of strength. Your ability to advance to the ninth rank is your own skill—"

Lu Hao wondered if Nan Yunyue had noticed the life essence in her hands, since every word she uttered sounded so comforting.

"Master Lu, there's no need to be modest. After all, if it were really just luck, we old bones would have advanced long ago. Strength is strength; being too modest is not a good thing."

"That's right, Master Lu is a prodigy among young people. My son has always taken you as his role model, which has made him more interested in martial arts."

Several masters nearby also praised it.

Lu Hao, however, was not the kind of person who liked to show off like Fang Ping. After being told this by the grandmasters, he became even more embarrassed.

Soon, almost all of the hundred grandmasters had arrived, and everyone stopped teasing Lu Hao. Nan Yunyue said solemnly, "This time, the other side will definitely be fully prepared for the Tiannan Underground Cave. The passage will open in a day or two, and it will be a full passage. Therefore, the first group to enter should not aim to kill the enemy, but to drive the underground cave warriors out of the passage and prevent them from entering the surface to fight. Otherwise, it will have too great an impact on us. Everyone, in this battle, we will not retreat!"

"clear!"

Everyone replied, and the meeting quickly ended. Many meetings had been held in the past few days to prepare for various scenarios. After all, China had mobilized over a hundred Grandmasters in this war, a war that gambled on the nation's fate. If they won, future development would be smooth, and there would still be time to improve. If they lost, the Grandmasters would descend and shatter the entire Tiannan Underground Cave, potentially triggering a full-scale war on the opposing Grandmasters.

Therefore, they must win; they cannot afford to lose.

After leaving the conference room, Lu Hao and his two companions found a place to rest, while the Grandmasters also gathered in twos and threes with people they knew well.

"Principal Wu, Principal Huang, we'll definitely be among the first to enter. I won't say more, but if you encounter any powerful enemies that you can't handle, you can ask me for help. If I can spare the time, I'll definitely help you," Lu Hao said to the two of them.

"Young Lu, don't underestimate us. We're definitely fine at our respective levels. On the contrary, you need to be more careful, as you've just broken through and are facing such a great battle right away," Huang Jing said with a smile.

"I have no problem with that. I'll let you two witness the fall of a ninth-rank official," Lu Hao said with a smile.

"We're fine here. I don't know if you noticed, but a Grandmaster from Zhenxing City has arrived this time. They don't usually participate, but this time..." Wu Kuishan said in a low voice.

"Go find that supreme corpse," Huang Jing said calmly.

"Huh? You know?" Wu Kuishan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Didn't Fang Ping tell you? Maybe you were in seclusion. When Zhenxing City came last time, there was a chubby guy with a lisp. Fang Ping and the others didn't have to ask him for a lot of information, but the chubby guy already told them," Huang Jing said with a smile.

"They were still trying to keep it a secret in Zhenxing City, but I didn't expect the news to have spread so far," Wu Kuishan said with a smile.

"That chubby guy is a smart man; he probably only said it to do us a favor."
