Zhang Hao thought for a moment, took out a Barrier Breaking Pill that he had exchanged for 1000 points from the System store, and handed it to Yun Qiuyu, saying, "Qiu Yu, with this, you can break through to Great Martial Master more smoothly."
"Barrier Breaking Pill? And an Upper Grade Barrier Breaking Pill at that?"
Yun Qiuyu's voice trembled considerably.
You know, breaking through from Martial Master to Great Martial Master isn't easy. After all, not everyone is like Zhang Hao, who can smoothly upgrade just by completing upgrade missions. The chance for a regular Martial Master to break through to Great Martial Master is one-tenth, or even less than one-tenth. Even for some geniuses, the success rate is only fifty percent. However, if there is a Barrier Breaking Pill, the success rate will be much higher.
A Lower Grade Barrier Breaking Pill can increase the success rate by ten percent, a Middle Grade increases the success rate by twenty percent. An Upper Grade can increase the success rate by thirty percent.
At Tianwu Academy. Only Lower Grade Barrier Breaking Pills are available for exchange. And the exchange price is ridiculously expensive. It requires 3000 contribution points.
And Zhang Hao gave her an Upper Grade one right away. Outside, an Upper Grade Barrier Breaking Pill can be sold for 10000 contribution points. Or even 10000 lower grade crystal stones. But Zhang Hao casually gave such a valuable item to her. This deeply moved Yun Qiuyu.
Yun Qiuyu wanted to refuse. But she really needed the Barrier Breaking Pill. If she refused, she couldn't even say the words.
"Hehe, don't hesitate. Given our relationship, there's no need for this." Zhang Hao blinked at Yun Qiuyu and smiled.
"Mhm, consider it a favor I owe you." Yun Qiuyu solemnly accepted the Barrier Breaking Pill.
"I wish you a smooth Breakthrough to Great Martial Master and participation in this Outer Courtyard Competition." Zhang Hao looked at Yun Qiuyu and smiled.
Yun Qiuyu gave Zhang Hao a deep look, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I definitely will."
Although Yun Qiuyu knew that even if she participated in the Outer Courtyard Competition. It would be impossible for her to achieve a good ranking. But she only needed to enter the top hundred. At that time, she would be able to attract the attention of the College Elders. Perhaps some College Elder would be willing to take her as a disciple. It would be even better if it was an Inner Courtyard Elder. That way, she could directly enter the Inner Courtyard.
"Zhang Hao, then I'll be going now. See you at the competition." Yun Qiuyu looked at Zhang Hao and said solemnly.
For Yun Qiuyu, who had obtained the Barrier Breaking Pill, she was now eager to rely on the Dan to break through her Realm.
After Yun Qiuyu left, Zhang Hao also began to Cultivate in seclusion again. He prepared to consolidate his physical Realm. And then Cultivate the Hundred Blade Slash.
After his Physical Body broke through to the Martial King Realm. Due to the progress of his Physical Body, Zhang Hao. The Hundred Blade Slash could now execute the thirtieth strike.
However, although Zhang Hao could execute the thirtieth strike, he felt that the impact of that power on his Physical Body was too strong. Even though he had broken through to the Martial King Realm, he still couldn't quite bear it. Therefore, Zhang Hao only used half of the thirtieth strike, not daring to use it fully.
The day before the competition. Dou Bi and Ying Da both came out of seclusion.
Dou Bi did not disappoint Zhang Hao; his cultivation broke through to Great Martial Master in one go. And Ying Da was also good; thanks to Zhang Hao's Strong Bone Pill. His cultivation broke through from Da Wu Shi First Level to Great Martial Master Third Heaven.
It could be said that Zhang Hao's two subordinates had progressed quite quickly. He was also very satisfied with this.
"This time, you two are also participating in the Outer Courtyard Competition?" Zhang Hao looked at Ying Da and Dou Bi and asked seriously.
"Mhm, Boss, we've decided." Dou Bi nodded and said excitedly.
"Boss, my strength has greatly increased this time, and I need actual combat to test my fighting power." A hint of excitement flashed in Ying Da's eyes.
As a Body Cultivator, Ying Da. Was originally a belligerent person. This time, his cultivation instantly rose from Great Martial Master First Level to Great Martial Master Third Level, and he couldn't hold back any longer.
"Mhm, that's good, but this time, you'll also encounter people from the Tianlong Alliance, so you must be absolutely careful. I'm worried they might play dirty tricks on you." Zhang Hao was a little worried.
"Boss, don't worry, we'll be careful." Dou Bi smiled slightly.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao spent 3000 points from the System store and exchanged for a weapon. The Ruyi Spirit Bone Fan.
"Dou Bi, this is the Ruyi Spirit Bone Fan. I see you don't have a suitable weapon right now. This weapon should be able to increase your strength quite a bit." Zhang Hao smiled at Dou Bi.
Dou Bi looked at the fan in Zhang Hao's hand, which was refined from the bone of a Ferocious Beast King. He was instantly overjoyed. He held it in his hand, unable to put it down.
"Boss, thank you so much."
Dou Bi stroked the jade fan in his hand; it felt slightly heavy when held. The fan surface was as smooth as jade, and when his hand was placed on it, it carried a hint of coolness.
Dou Bi truly loved the Ruyi Spirit Bone Fan in his hand. His original weapon was quite unconventional. It was also rare to find a suitable weapon. This time, the precious fan Zhang Hao gave him filled him with pleasant surprise.
"Mhm, this is an Upper Grade Heaven-Grade weapon, Dou Bi, you must take good care of it." Zhang Hao looked at Dou Bi and said seriously.
"Boss..."
Dou Bi looked at Zhang Hao gratefully.
"Hehe, we're like brothers, there's no need for this." Zhang Hao waved his hand.
Dou Bi nodded heavily. Zhang Hao's words, 'we're like brothers', warmed his heart. However, both he and Ying Da felt a little ashamed. Although they and Ying Da were Zhang Hao's subordinates. From beginning to end, it was Zhang Hao who protected them from wind and rain. They had never done anything for Zhang Hao.
"Boss, I know you will definitely participate in the Outer Gate Competition this time, so I collected some information for you in advance, as the saying goes, 'know yourself and your enemy'!" Dou Bi took out a scroll of information.
"Oh!"
Zhang Hao immediately became interested.
"Boss, with your strength, you only need to pay attention to six people." Dou Bi said seriously.
Zhang Hao took out the information Dou Bi had prepared for him and looked at the list provided.
Duan Yunrui: Alliance Leader of the Tianlong Alliance Outer Courtyard, his strength is unfathomable, he uses a spear. It is said that he was already a Half-Step Martial King a year ago. Danger level: Five Stars.
Chang Tian: Deputy Alliance Leader of the Tianlong Alliance Outer Courtyard. His strength is unfathomable. He uses a spear. He broke through to Half-Step Martial King a year ago. Danger level: Four Stars.
Ye Rufeng, First Battle General of the Tianlong Alliance Outer Courtyard, his strength is unfathomable. He uses a saber. Half-Step Martial King. Danger level: Four Stars.
Zhao Gao, Second Battle General of the Tianlong Alliance Outer Courtyard. His strength is unmatched. He uses a sword. Half-Step Martial King. Danger level: Three Stars.
Yan Feiyu, Third Battle General of the Tianlong Alliance Outer Courtyard. His strength is hard to gauge, he uses claws. Half-Step Martial King. Danger level: Three Stars.
This information listed everything quite detailedly. It showed that Dou Bi had put in the effort.
"Dou Bi, you went through a lot of trouble, didn't you? You must have put in a lot of effort?" Zhang Hao looked at Dou Bi, feeling slightly moved.
"It wasn't hard, Boss, as long as it can help you." Dou Bi looked at Zhang Hao and smiled.
"Mhm, this information is very useful to me. Boss will accept it then." Zhang Hao nodded and smiled.
