Everyone was stunned by Chu Han's sudden stillness. His affectionate yet focused gaze stared straight at the ground beneath his feet, as if he could spot a flower there.
Gao Shaohui's pupils contracted, his expression turning inscrutable. Then he leaned against the nearby wall, folded his arms, and looked ready to enjoy the show.
Less than three seconds after Gao Shaohui made that move, Yang Tian—the highest-ranked person present aside from Gao Shaohui and Chu Han—suddenly shuddered. Immediately afterward, he instinctively unleashed the terrifying energy within him, and an immensely powerful pulse of life spread outward.
Whoosh—
Everyone around them was shocked. Something was off with Chu Han—why had Yang Tian suddenly started acting strangely too?
But it was not over yet. At the exact moment Yang Tian unleashed his aura, Chu Han suddenly stepped sideways and planted himself firmly in place, both hands gripping the Asura Battle Axe at top speed.
Whoosh!
He drew it from his back and held it horizontally before his chest at astonishing speed. A flash of black light streaked through the motion, exceptionally conspicuous and imposing in broad daylight.
At the same time, Chu Han abruptly raised his eyes toward the sky ahead. His ink-black gaze blazed with nothing but fighting spirit and wildness!
No matter how slow-witted those present were, they could tell that Chu Han had assumed a combat stance. Panic and confusion immediately surged through everyone's hearts, and they all followed his gaze toward the place he was looking.
But there was only a clear blue sky, with a few white clouds drifting past. There was nothing there at all. What had happened?
And at that moment—
Boom.
A faint yet unmistakable tremor suddenly arose. Some High-Order New Humans sensed it immediately, as if something had exploded on the distant ground.
