Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 325 - 315: Test of Strength
Xu Ling walked along, and everyone made way for her; not only was this woman stunningly beautiful, but she also possessed formidable strength, and her background was extraordinarily prominent.
She was born into the Cold Ice Sect, an Imperial-level Power. Although Water State has a War God, they only have one such supreme being, yet the aura of an Imperial-level Power remains overwhelmingly mighty.
The four men were positioned around her, sitting on her left and right, each exhibiting a demeanor as outstanding as a dragon amongst men.
They were clearly looking for better positions and continuously moved forward, quickly reaching the vicinity of Chu Hao.
The others kept giving way, but only Chu Hao stood still with his hands behind his back, blocking the path of Xu Ling and her group.
"Blind brat, get out of the way at once," a young man in purple clothes demanded, his eyes widening as he exuded a daunting presence, the pressure surpassing that of an ordinary Eight Meridians Martial Sect.
"Could that be Nalan Yufeng?"
"That’s right, recently the hottest young talent in Water State, reputed to be among the top ten in the Martial Sect Realm!"
"Top ten? Heh, that must be an exaggeration; geniuses are everywhere these days."
"However, to be listed alongside Xu Ling, his strength must indeed be extraordinary, otherwise, he wouldn’t qualify."
"That’s true."
"Who is that blocking the road? Why won’t he move aside?"
"Only a Single-Meridian."
"Could he be a young master from some superpower? That’s quite bold of him."
The crowd whispered among themselves, revealing the identity of the young man in purple.
Chu Hao looked at Nalan Yufeng and casually said, "Can’t you speak properly?"
Hiss!
The nearby crowd inhaled sharply, feeling that Chu Hao was really being reckless, daring to provoke Nalan Yufeng actively. It was known that although Nalan Yufeng had risen recently, he had defeated many renowned talents within half a year, making his strength far from ordinary.
This was truly a Young King with the dominance to sweep across the realm, possessing such potential.
"Hmm?" Nalan Yufeng glanced at Chu Hao with disdain in his eyes. A mere Single-Meridian Martial Sect daring to speak to him like this? He wasn’t even angry; if he lost his temper over such trivial individuals, what right did he have to call himself a Young King?
"Kneel and apologize, then move aside obediently, and I might grant you your life," he said indifferently.
"Haha, I’ve really never seen such a foolhardy kid," another young man beside Xu Ling laughed; dressed in green, slim and handsome, his eyes were an unusual golden color, emitting a bewitching charm.
Looking at Chu Hao, he said, "Hey, kid, what’s your name?"
Chu Hao sighed and said, "Are all you guys so unruly? Anger me, and the men will be suppressed to become servants, the women maids."
Damn, how could this kid be so arrogant?
Seeing Chu Hao not only provoking Nalan Yufeng but now also extending his challenge to Xu Ling and the others, everyone was astounded, realizing this guy truly never minced his words.
In Water State, Xu Ling was known as a ’fairy’ and adored by countless talented youths. If they knew Chu Hao dared to flirt with their goddess, they could drown him with a spit each.
Hearing what Chu Hao said, Xu Ling and her group all showed anger; they wouldn’t take a Single-Meridian Martial Sect seriously, but that didn’t mean they would tolerate being insulted without care.
"Hahaha, this kid is really amusing!" Nalan Yufeng instead burst into laughter, turning his head he said, "It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered such a brazen youngster, I wonder where he sprung from."
"Why waste words with such an arrogant kid, just blast him away!" said a young man in green clothes, appearing the most arrogant among the four men.
Nalan Yufeng waved his hand, saying, "It’s rare to come across such a blockhead, why not have some fun?" He looked back at Chu Hao and smiled, "Kid, I’ll stand here and let you hit me; if you can make me take a step back, I’ll become your servant."
"Hahahaha." The surrounding crowd burst into laughter. Nalan Yufeng was a Peak Martial Sect, almost a Nine Meridians formidable being. How could a mere Single-Meridian Martial Sect force him back even if he fought with all his might?
This was clearly toying with him.
Chu Hao also started to laugh, somewhat naively saying, "Really?"
What an idiot, everyone thought to themselves. Meanwhile, Fat Cat internally sighed: This stinky kid is about to start his tricks, but I like it.
"Of course!" Nalan Yufeng nodded, having not encountered such an amusing person for a long time. Since the auction hadn’t started yet, he naturally wanted to amuse himself with this fool.
Xu Ling did not stop him; in her view, a Single-Meridian Martial Sect naturally didn’t deserve a second glance from her.
Chu Hao stretched out his fist, seemingly warming up. After a moment, he poised to strike, his right fist raised high but then paused, muttering to himself, "First, I need to find a target to test my strength."
Hearing this, the crowd laughed out loud, finding Chu Hao legitimately amusing.
"I have a Blood Tiger Diamond here; you can use it to test your strength," someone deliberately said, taking out a diamond as tall as a man from the Mustard Seed Ring, streaked with blood-red lines.
The Blood Tiger Diamond couldn’t be considered a Second-Grade Treasure Material, as it couldn’t be forged into weapons, but it was exceptionally sturdy, comparable to a Sixth Grade Precious Material, making it an excellent building material with astonishing defensive power.
The people around all had their arms crossed, watching the spectacle with keen interest, while Nalan Yufeng didn’t hurry Chu Hao, also smiling at the corner of his mouth. To encounter someone so foolish these days was indeed rare.
"Thank you." Chu Hao said naively, causing many in the crowd to shake their heads secretly. To what extent would this boy embarrass himself before he realized he was being played?
Chu Hao stood in front of the Tiger Blood Diamond, took a deep breath, and his right fist tensed, but he hesitated to strike.
"Hey, are you going to hit or not?"
"Exactly, it’s just a test of strength, why so serious?"
"Hurry up, hurry up."
The people on the side urged him on with laughter.
Just then, Chu Hao threw a punch like lightning, bang, striking the Tiger Blood Diamond, and a terrifying scene unfolded—the diamond was forcefully split into two.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell deathly silent, only the sound of heavy breathing remained.
That was the Blood Tiger Diamond, comparable to a Sixth-Grade Precious Material, usually used as the foundation stone for treasuries, and now it was shattered by a single punch. What did that mean?
Feigning weakness to crush the strong, an absolute case of feigning weakness to crush the strong.
If a Single-Meridian Martial Sect truly possessed such horrifying power, how could others survive?
Thinking this, everyone involuntarily looked toward Nalan Yufeng, who was supposed to endure a strike from Chu Hao. Even the Tiger Blood Diamond had been broken by a punch, and now standing still to take a hit, wasn’t that suicidal?
Nalan Yufeng’s face twitched rapidly—how could he have known that Chu Hao’s strength would be so formidable? Even if he protected his body with Star Force, his defensive power would definitely not surpass that of the Tiger Blood Diamond.
If hit on the head, it would definitely burst. If hit in the chest, the heart would undoubtedly be shattered.
Seeing his expression, the crowd all showed sympathy. Such a strike was unbearable for anyone.
"Alright, my test is done," Chu Hao said, waving his fist, then turned his gaze toward Nalan Yufeng.
Nalan Yufeng’s face twitched even more fiercely. He certainly did not want to take that punch, but he had publicly stated he would take Chu Hao’s punch—how could he back down without losing face now?
For someone as proud as him, face was definitely more important than life.
He clenched his teeth tightly, not saying a word.
"This gentleman, perhaps it’s enough now?" Xu Ling spoke up, trying to diffuse the situation for her companion.
Chu Hao glanced at her, saying, "Eh, do you also want to make a one-strike pact with me? If you lose, you’ll have to become my maid."
Xu Ling’s face changed in anger. People with much lower strength couldn’t anger her even if they insulted her to her face, as they simply didn’t qualify; she could easily slap them dead with a single hand.
But Chu Hao was different; he had proven his strength, definitely matching her as an equal.
She coldly said, "Sir, you are too much!"
"Less nonsense, if you disagree, come at me, and I will suppress you all one by one," Chu Hao said with overflowing dominance.
"I’ll fight you!" The green-clad youth who had spoken earlier stepped forward.
Chu Hao flicked his hand as if swatting away a mosquito, saying, "Who are you? I do not engage with the nameless."
"Nameless?" The green-clad youth almost exploded in anger, shouting, "I am Bai Yunye, one of the strongest Heaven Talented of this generation in Water State, and you dare to look down on me."
"Oh, so you are somewhat famous. Not bad, you can be my servant," Chu Hao nodded and said.
Bai Yunye screamed in rage—was his renowned name just to become Chu Hao’s servant? He snorted and said, "I won’t waste words with you. Come, let me see what you can do."
Being strong doesn’t necessarily mean having a strong combat power.
Chu Hao smiled faintly, saying, "Forget it, I don’t want to bully you."
Bully?
Bai Yunye’s face trembled. Had he become a junior who needed to be spared? He snorted, saying, "Go ahead, if I lose, if I lose..."
He wanted to make a bet, but Chu Hao’s punch from before was still vivid in his mind, causing him to stop abruptly because he wasn’t completely sure he could win.
"If you lose, you become my junior?" Chu Hao teased.
"Humph, first win against me," Bai Yunye got into a fighting stance.
"Move back, move back," everyone around said. If these two were to fight, even Peak Martial Sects who got involved would suffer.
Soon, a large space was cleared around the two of them.
"Hehe, young friends, if you wish to compete, you can go outside the town. We don’t welcome troublemakers here." Just then, an elderly man walked onto the platform in the middle and addressed Chu Hao and Bai Yunye. (To be continued.
