One-Click Upgrade: Super Decomposition System

Chapter 235 - Old Master Who Was Overconfident!

Jiang Hao had just slid the door open when a sudden surge of adrenaline hit him—his danger perception skill passively triggered. A fist loomed larger and larger in his vision, hurtling straight toward him. With a slight smile, as if oblivious to the impending blow, Jiang Hao casually turned to close the door, inadvertently dodging the punch.

The fist, stubborn and unyielding, continued its pursuit of Jiang Hao. With a swift pivot, he evaded the attack once more, the breeze from the near-miss ruffling his hair. The assailant, relentless, launched a series of punches, each one narrowly missing its target. To any onlooker, it would seem as though the pair had undergone extensive, synchronized training to achieve such a seamless dance.

?It wasn't until Jiang Hao reached the bedside, turned, and took a seat that the fist's owner finally relented. Jiang Hao's smile met the Old Master's eyes, which held a complex mix of emotions. Observing the Old Master's frustration, Jiang Hao inquired, “Grandfather, have you achieved a breakthrough?”

Indeed, the one who had attempted the surprise attack was none other than the Old Master himself. Fresh from his breakthrough, he was eager to test his newfound prowess against his grandson. But the outcome left him in despair; even with his advancement, he couldn't lay a finger on Jiang Hao.

?”Could it be that he was holding back during our first spar?” the Old Master pondered, reflecting on their initial encounter. “Freak of nature!” he muttered, defeated yet acknowledging his own progress with a nod.

Unbeknownst to the Old Master, Jiang Hao hadn't been resting on his laurels. The upgrade to his Immortal Body alone had doubled his strength, not to mention the enhancements to his Lee's Flying Knife and danger perception skills. Thus, Jiang Hao's power had surged ahead at an even greater pace.

The outcome was hardly surprising. Seeing the Old Master's gloom, Jiang Hao offered words of consolation with a reassuring smile, “Grandfather, among those I've seen, you're the most formidable martial artist by far!” He kept to himself, of course, that the total number of martial artists he'd encountered, including the Old Master, was a mere two.

“Besides, I'm so awesome, and I'm still your grandson, right?”

His words rang true. No matter how formidable he was, his grandfather would always be his grandfather.

The Old Master's spirits lifted a bit upon hearing this.

“Ah, I've completely thrown in the towel when it comes to competing with you!”

“It's just too demoralizing!”

The Old Master shot Jiang Hao a look of resigned amusement.

Jiang Hao struggled to keep a straight face.

“Grandpa, don't worry. Once I find an even more potent spiritual herb for your medicinal meals, maybe one day you'll be the one beating me!”

At that, the Old Master puffed up in mock indignation.

“You little rascal, making fun of your grandpa, huh?”

“By the time that happens, you'll probably have powered up to who knows where!”

Jiang Hao chuckled, knowing his grandfather had a point.

Then, the Old Master's expression turned solemn as he regarded Jiang Hao.

“Hao Hao, since my breakthrough, I seem to be able to sense that substance in the air—the one that can boost my cultivation level. It's the very substance that old master, the one who taught me the techniques, mentioned!”

?The Old Master spoke and then closed his eyes, immersing himself in the sensation.

Jiang Hao was taken aback.

“Grandpa, what level have you reached now? And did that old master explain how the realms are classified?”

Jiang Hao's urgency was palpable as he pressed for answers.
