Chapter 20: The Dead Attack

"If I were to run into Iron Claw again now, I would have the strength to fight him; I wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Iron Claw could knock Chen Hao flying a hundred times, but he couldn't kill him.

However.

Chen Hao only needed to wound Iron Claw once.

That poisoned Nepalese kukri, as long as it broke Iron Claw's skin, could poison him to death directly.

Chen Hao left the Supernatural Bureau's armory.

In the days that followed, aside from cultivation, he practiced with the kukri.

Shi Jian saw this.

He said to Chen Hao, "Your method is wrong."

"Wrong?"

"Yes, your grip on the blade is problematic."

Seeing this, Chen Hao immediately said to Shi Jian, "I ask Master Shi to teach me."

Hearing this, Shi Jian waved his hand.

"How could I be qualified to teach you?"

"If you wanted to learn boxing, I could offer a few pointers, but this little knife..."

"You need to find Liu Xiaodao; he is the best with a knife among us."

"Liu Xiaodao?"

"Yes, his dormitory is 302. He should be there now; you can go find him directly."

"Alright."

Chen Hao left the training ground and headed for room 302.

"Macau* Casino*, *Female*, Online**"

Just as Chen Hao reached room 302, he heard a burst of music.

The sound was so familiar.

Chen Hao raised his hand and knocked on Liu Xiaodao's door.

"Who is it!"

Liu Xiaodao opened the door with an angry expression.

He saw Chen Hao standing at the door.

"It's you..."

Chen Hao was the disciple of Shangguan Huofeng and was close to everyone's goddess—Bai Jie.

Therefore, everyone in the Supernatural Bureau knew Chen Hao.

Although Liu Xiaodao was angry, he suppressed his rage and asked Chen Hao, "What are you here for?"

"I want to learn the blade."

Chen Hao said, pulling out his kukri.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaodao frowned.

"Sorry, I don't teach."

"Why?"

"Because you're too stupid."

"Your grip on the knife is wrong."

"Is it wrong?"

"Alright, go away, don't disturb my rest."

Saying this, Liu Xiaodao stepped back and closed the door behind him.

He hadn't been inside long before he let out a roar.

"Damn, this resource is trash, completely unusable."

"If you want resources, I have them!"

Chen Hao's voice wasn't loud, but to Liu Xiaodao, it sounded like heavenly music.

Liu Xiaodao quickly opened the door and pulled Chen Hao inside.

"Brother Hao, hurry up and share your study materials with me."

Liu Xiaodao had changed his tune.

Looking at the lecherous Liu Xiaodao, Chen Hao felt speechless.

"I can give them to you, but I have one condition."

"What condition? Just name it."

"As long as your study materials are good enough, I will definitely satisfy your request."

"I want to learn the blade."

"Fine, it's just a blade."

"Come, pay the tuition first."

"Alright."

Chen Hao took out his phone.

He didn't have study materials, but that didn't mean others didn't.

"Li Gang, didn't you say before that you had a lot of study materials to share with me?"

"Study materials?"

Li Gang was a bit confused.

"You know, that stuff!"

"Oh, you mean that!"

Li Gang suddenly realized.

"It's not much, just a few terabytes of torrents."

"Why did you suddenly become so eager to study, kid?"

"Don't ask, just send me some quickly."

"Alright, I'll send you one terabyte."

"Young man, you've got high spirits, I understand, but take care of your health too!"

"Study this one terabyte of materials first; once you're done, I'll share more."

"Alright."

After receiving them, Chen Hao forwarded them to Liu Xiaodao.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaodao was full of excitement.

"Oh my, studying is my favorite thing."

"Kid, get out first, I need to study on my own."

"Alright."

Chen Hao left.

He waited outside for a while.

The time was exactly three minutes.

Liu Xiaodao walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Although Liu Xiaodao closed the door quickly, Chen Hao still smelled a fishy stench.

"You wanted to learn the blade, follow me."

Liu Xiaodao led Chen Hao to the training ground.

After his pleasure, Liu Xiaodao looked like a master; he was devoid of desire.

He began to explain things to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao finally understood why Shi Jian and Liu Xiaodao said his grip was wrong.

His grip was a reverse grip.

That is: the blade tip facing forward and up, the same way one holds a kitchen knife.

True experts hold a dagger with a forward grip.

Because a forward grip facilitates concealment and increases the element of surprise in an attack.

The main attack methods for a forward grip are horizontal slashes and downward strikes.

Since the wrist maintains a natural angle, it is more comfortable to exert force than with a reverse grip; at the same time, using the elbow to drive the biceps and triceps of the upper arm allows for optimal explosive power and absolute strength.

Under Liu Xiaodao's instruction, Chen Hao began to practice.

Liu Xiaodao possessed the B-rank ability [Dagger Mastery].

So having him as Chen Hao's mentor was more than enough.

Chen Hao practiced with Liu Xiaodao for two days.

"Come on."

Liu Xiaodao said to Chen Hao.

"Attack me with all your might."

"Alright."

Chen Hao held the kukri and launched an attack on Liu Xiaodao.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal colliding rang out.

Chen Hao's kukri and Liu Xiaodao's dagger clashed in close combat.

Liu Xiaodao's strength was very high.

He was a General-rank Tier 1 esper.

Every time, he could seize an opportunity to hold his dagger against Chen Hao's vital points.

"Again."

Under Liu Xiaodao's teaching, Chen Hao's skill with the dagger slowly improved.

...Clang!

Chen Hao parried Liu Xiaodao's dagger and then held his own blade against Liu Xiaodao's neck.

"Very good!"

Liu Xiaodao nodded with great satisfaction.

"You have graduated."

Liu Xiaodao was somewhat surprised by Chen Hao's performance.

He hadn't expected Chen Hao's comprehension to be so strong.

In just a few days.

He had learned all of his skills.

"Wooo, wooo, wooo!"

Just as Chen Hao was about to say something to Liu Xiaodao.

The Supernatural Bureau's alarm sounded.

"Something big has happened."

Liu Xiaodao said to Chen Hao, "Let's go, gather in the hall."

Chen Hao followed Liu Xiaodao to the Supernatural Bureau's hall.

Shangguan Huofeng had a dark expression.

She said to the crowd of the Supernatural Bureau, "Something has happened."

The Scorpion Brigade has produced a guy with the [Corpse Control] ability.

He is now controlling corpses to launch an attack on our Nanjiang City.

On the electronic screen.

Swarms of corpses were roaring, like zombies, chasing pedestrians on the road.

After knocking pedestrians down.

They began to bite them frantically.

These corpses possessed corpse poison; those bitten to death would also climb up and join their ranks.

"Your goal is to eliminate these corpses and delay their advance."

"Set off now."

"Yes!"

Chen Hao followed the main force to Nanjiang City.

At this moment, Nanjiang City was filled with flames.

Countless corpses paced among them.

"Roar!"

Upon seeing Chen Hao and the others, they lunged at them like hungry wolves seeing prey.
