Chapter 401: Means
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He really hadn't thought that he had been cultivating for a whole day and night. When he heard Galen ask, he smiled and replied, "Grandpa Galen, my fighting spirit has reached the eighth level."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned, staring blankly at Zhao Hai. It took a moment before Galen's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Young master, your fighting spirit has really reached the eighth level? Quickly demonstrate it for me to see."
Zhao Hai nodded. As an eighth-level warrior, he could now project his fighting spirit outward. With a thought, golden fighting spirit surged out of his body, filling the entire living room with a golden glow. Zhao Hai sat there like a small sun, except this sun did not emit heat.
Since it wasn't a battle, Zhao Hai retracted his fighting spirit after a brief display. However, Galen was already grinning from ear to ear. He realized that Zhao Hai's strength had indeed reached the eighth level, which was considered a master on the continent.
An eighth-level warrior could also unleash eighth-level magic at will, and it was elemental magic. The thought of this made Galen feel pity for Zhao Hai's enemies.
Once Zhao Hai retracted his fighting spirit, Galen burst into laughter, saying, "It's really the eighth level, truly the eighth level! That's great, young master! From now on, you should spend two hours every night in the space with Kun Zheng and me to learn how to use your fighting spirit in combat."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a bit distressed, but he knew Galen meant well. The space could help him develop his fighting spirit from nothing to eighth level, but he lacked combat techniques. Without knowledge of battle skills, Zhao Hai could never become a true master; in a straightforward brawl, even a fifth-level warrior could defeat him.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, Grandpa Galen, don't worry. I'll call you every evening. By the way, Laura, have you explained things to Charlie?"
Sitting nearby, Laura smiled and replied, "Don't worry, it's all sorted out. But Brother Hai, have you noticed anything different in this living room?"
Zhao Hai was taken aback and looked around the living room but didn't notice any differences. He looked at Laura in confusion.
Laura smiled slightly and said, "Haven't you noticed that there isn't a single metal object in this living room?"
Zhao Hai took a closer look and indeed saw that there were no metal items in the living room at all. Confused, he asked Laura, "What's wrong? Why are there no metal items in the living room? Does it affect my cultivation?"
Laura laughed and said, "We're afraid you might get crushed by those metal objects. You don't know, but while you were cultivating your fighting spirit, all the metal items in the living room were flying towards you as if you were a giant magnet! Brother Hai, I think besides practicing your fighting spirit and combat techniques, you should also train this ability. I suspect it's an otherworldly technique specifically for controlling metal."
Upon hearing Laura's words, Zhao Hai felt his head spinning a bit. An old face suddenly appeared in his mind, with gray hair and a strange helmet, dressed in what appeared to be a cloak. This person was Magneto.
There was no helping it; back on Earth, Zhao Hai had a great fondness for the X-Men movie series, and the villain Magneto left a deep impression on him. Now, hearing Laura say that he might have a technique to control metal, Zhao Hai naturally thought of Magneto.
Zhao Hai envied Magneto's abilities. The thought that he might possess powers similar to Magneto's excited him greatly.
At that moment, Galen interjected, "Young master, I think it would be best for you to go outside the space and take a look. Yesterday, Laura and the others mentioned that if you don't go out while cultivating, Charlie might become suspicious today."
Zhao Hai immediately glanced at the screen and noticed that it was already bright outside; it was breakfast time. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll wait until tonight to practice my combat skills and metal control ability in the space."
