Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 138 - 136: Your Punishment is to Slay 1,000 Gold-Rank Enemies!
At this moment, Chu Tian already felt a bit of regret. Had he known better, he wouldn’t have listened to that old murderer Tu Hongwu.
Now things had turned out this way, and for a moment he even began to doubt whether taking this disciple was right or wrong.
The elder on the left, whose appearance bore some resemblance to Chu Tian, furrowed his brow and spoke calmly, "Chu War God, is this your disciple?"
Hearing this familiar voice, even as one of Great Xia’s top powerhouses, Chu Tian couldn’t help but jump internally.
He knew all too well what kind of character his uncle had, and now, with a single opening of "Chu War God," it filled his heart with inexplicable dread.
This dread stemmed from a suppression by bloodline, akin to the intimidation when one’s parents call them by their full name after doing something wrong.
However, it had come to this point, and he had no choice but to muster his courage and stand out to speak, "Yes."
"Hmph!" The elder snorted coldly without continuing to speak.
But now Su Mo was somewhat confused; this situation seemed a bit different from what he imagined.
Under normal circumstances, when his masters came, no matter who they were, people should respect them, right?
After all, just pulling one of them out would count as a top-tier force in Great Xia—no, they could be considered top-tier in the entire Human Race.
But what was going on here?
His master, the top Extreme Martial God of Great Xia, Chu Tian, now seemed more afraid of these two old men than he was!
Before Su Mo could come to his senses, Elder Zhang, upon seeing the situation, hurriedly asked, "Old Chu, Old Xia, what’s going on with you two? How come you went out and brought back Chu War God’s apprentice? What’s with this little guy?
Wait, for some reason, this old man finds him familiar, feels like I’ve seen him somewhere. Getting old, my memory really isn’t what it used to be. Let me think.
Oh! Aren’t you that little Tu, Tu Hongwu’s disciple? How did you become Little Chu’s disciple now?"
As Elder Zhang spoke, the elder resembling Chu Tian glanced at Chu Tian but did not speak.
Then, the other elder, who had spoken little from the beginning, began to carefully scrutinize Su Mo.
While scrutinizing him, he inadvertently recalled that before, Su Mo mentioned contacting his master, who was clearly not the same person as Chu Tian.
Recalling that familiar voice, who else could it have been if it wasn’t Tu Hongwu speaking before?
Thinking of this, Elder Xia’s face wasn’t as stern as Chu Tian’s uncle; instead, he smiled and asked, "You have another master named Tu Hongwu?"
Hearing these words, Su Mo hurriedly nodded. Given the current situation, it seemed like these people didn’t hold much respect for his Master Chu.
Now this inquiry—does it mean that if he mentions his master’s name, there might still be a glimmer of hope?
"If we put it this way, you should call me grandmaster. But truth be told, if your master has been talking to you, why didn’t he say anything to this old man?
Has he been busy lately?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Upon hearing the earlier words, a faint smile appeared on Su Mo’s rigid face. So they were all his folks? In that case, this might not become a big issue after all.
Then everyone would return to their homes and mothers, and carry on with what they were doing.
But after hearing the latter words, Su Mo’s smile immediately froze.
It wasn’t a question of whether his master Tu Hongwu was busy; clearly, it was a complaint that his master didn’t greet the grandmaster upon meeting him.
It’s over, it’s really over this time!
The matter he got into needed his master’s help, and it turned out the one who caught him was his grandmaster, and his master dared not come and instead had another master come.
Judging from the situation, it seemed like this other master was also being contained!
Would he really go to prison?
Seeing Su Mo’s stiff expression, the elder chuckled softly, reached out to pat his shoulder:
"Mo, what kind of expression is that? Although you’ve made a mistake, after all, I am your grandmaster. Would I really arrest you and send you to prison?
The mistake you made isn’t trivial but it’s not too big either; saying it’s minor, indeed there are some troubles, like having to send people into the cosmos to extract soil to fill that island back up.
The cosmic soil contains a lot of radiation that has to be removed before it can be used, it’s actually quite troublesome.
Saying it’s major—well, it’s just filling this island. You have such strong masters, handling this matter should be a breeze, so rest assured, there won’t be any problems."
A difficult smile appeared on Su Mo’s stiff face: "Thank you, grandmaster."
"Good child, no need to thank me. We are all one family. If I recall correctly, Tu Hongwu’s apprentice was this year’s top scorer in the college entrance exams,
meaning you’ve awakened to have such strength in just over a month; truly, the younger generation is formidable. Our Human Race is bound to add another War God in the future.
However, if you’ve made a mistake, you must admit it, as they say: a lax master results in spoiled disciples; your master bears some responsibility for this matter,
but rest assured, with me around, you won’t be in any trouble. When the time comes, I’ll talk with your master."
Seeing his understanding grandmaster, Su Mo’s heart finally eased a bit, but he still felt there were underlying messages in his grandmaster’s words, suspecting his master might not have it easy later on.
As he was thinking this, Chu Tian, noticing Elder Xia had finished speaking, hurriedly pulled Su Mo to face the other side, the elder who resembled him, and said, "Su Mo, quickly greet Second Granduncle."
Hearing this, Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, then quickly raised his head and greeted, "Hello, Second Granduncle."
Su Mo couldn’t help but shiver internally at this point; luckily he hadn’t fought with these two before.
If a fight really broke out, probably both of his masters would be skinned, and he’d lose a layer of skin himself.
What kind of terrible luck was this! Just testing a skill, destroying an island, and the ones capturing him turned out to be his master’s elders. This was just so absurd!
The elder nodded gently at Su Mo, then looked towards Chu Tian and said, "After you fill that island, go back and copy the clan records ten times."
Chu Tian heard these words and nodded, remaining silent, but the scene before him left Su Mo dumbfounded.
He was starting to doubt whether this person was really his master, the Chu War God, reputed to be Great Xia’s number one War God.
When his two masters had spoken earlier, it was nothing like this.
Where was the spirit that was ready to go to space and have a showdown at any time?
Just when Su Mo thought the matter had ended, Second Granduncle spoke once more, "Once a mistake is made, there must be punishment. Your master is no exception, and neither are you!"
Before Second Granduncle could finish speaking, Elder Xia (Tu Hongwu’s master, and Su Mo’s grandmaster) promptly stood out and announced, "That’s reasonable. Let’s punish you by sending you to Three-Eyed Realm to slay 1000 Golden-ranked Tri-Eyed Race. When you finish, you can come back!"
