“Roar~”

The underground ice ape gave out a few more roars. Under extreme pain, it charged at Su Hao without caring for its life. Unknowingly, it didn’t realize that it had long left the village and reached the edge of forest.

“Die!”

Taking two steps back, Su Hao’s figure dodged quickly. Reaching the side of the underground ice ape, his right fist suddenly rose and dealt a heavy blow.

Hong!

The punch on its body directly hit the heart of the underground ice ape.

A powerful force burst out. Su Hao quickly retreated, but still his right arm chilled as it was covered by a layer of frost. If he was an instant too slow, perhaps this arm of his would have been frozen solid.

“Pu...”

The underground ice ape struggled for a moment. Its injuries became even worse. The blood kept flowing, and finally it couldn’t struggle anymore. With a loud bang, it fell to the ground, dead.

“Hu~”

Su Hao worked on his frozen right arm. A moment later, it recovered to the usual state.

From start to finish, only one underground ice ape appeared out of all of those in the village. Su Hao was not worried. This was because the moment he knew the berserk beasts in this village were the so-called underground ice apes, he knew he didn’t have to worry about being attacked.

Underground ice apes were a beast which was cold, yet afraid of warm blooded creatures.

Su Hao was very clear on this information. The reason why he didn’t think of this sooner was because such beasts shouldn’t appear here. Can you imagine the feeling of going to the African savannah and seeing a penguin?

Similarly, underground ice apes were also like this.

The reason they hid underground was because of one reason…heat!

They were afraid of heat!

Based on Jianghe City’s temperature, most probably they would only come out during winter. Right now it was October, the autumn season. Although the temperature wasn’t really high, for them, it was still annoying weather, pretty similar to the human concept of high summer!

Anything below zero was their favorite temperature!

When the temperature was high, they would hide themselves quietly underground to sleep, especially during summer. That was the very reason they were named the ‘underground ice ape’. ‘Underground’ described them really well. Their behavior during summer could be called…summer hibernation.

He had won.

Su Hao, with his 13.5 points in origin ability, single-handedly killed a 15 points origin ability equivalent, an underground ice ape which had its own origin ability talent. This was definitely a huge step forward, but he didn’t felt happy about his accomplishment. It was he had realized something, which was very depressing news for him.

The advantage of fighting technique was slowly disappearing.

When origin abilities exceeded 15 points, the advantages of physical fitness and fighting technique would gradually turn into a support aid.

And the higher the origin ability, the smaller and smaller the advantage would be getting. When someone reached 20 points and higher, the advantage would completely disappear. It would be identical to the points brought by origin ability focused technique. At that time, 100 points of basic fighting technique would have the same strength enhancement as 100 points of beginner origin ability cultivation technique.

“Oh my advantage...”

Su Hao looked at his right fist.

He was able to reach here today step by step, wasn’t it all because of his fighting technique and physical fitness, which brought him an advantage? The same 100 points, investing them in fighting techniques or ability indexes had huge differences! This was the very reason why Su Hao kept challenging. However, as origin abilities became higher, origin ability talents began to reveal their advantages!

Didn’t today’s battle clearly show this?

No matter how strong you are, if you can’t hit your opponent, aren’t you still in a pinch?

How capable you are, if you don’t dare to touch them, won’t death be waiting for you, too?

There were many abilities which were similar to this cold-blooded ice. There were those with virus or toxins, who people wouldn’t dare to touch. Only death would be awaiting them! That was the reason why he prepared gloves, clothes, etc., which were only effective against primary levels of infection.

Thinking of that time during the battle of honor when Fang Lin emitted that bright green light, which then stimulated the growth of rattans and branches. That was really a strong ability.

Luckily, he didn’t have to worry for long.

His fighting technique and physical fitness were about to reach max. At that time, he would then fully concentrate on his origin ability talent! Su Hao’s initial goal was pretty simple, reaching 18 points!

If he wanted to enroll in Zhanzheng College, the first goal would be reaching 18 points in origin ability!

“Soon, I will catch up with you guys,” Su Hao sneered. His face recovered back to his previous confident look. The reason why he prioritized enhancing his fighting technique was to improve his strength! Within 20 points, his advantage still remained! Even if this underground ice ape was 15 points, he could still kill it!

As for the dead body of this ape, Su Hao ignored it.

Surrounding its body, the evaporating ice blue blood made this piece of land freezing cold. For a short period of time, this place wasn’t fit to get near.
