Surging Aftermath

Killing Li Yao was simple; after all, he was merely a War God. With Chu He, a Planetary Level Spirit Reader, catching him off guard, Li Yao didn't even have the chance to resist—he didn't even have the awareness that he was under attack.

However, the waves stirred up by this event had only just begun.

Paris Base City, Polanas Family headquarters.

In a bedroom on the top floor of a Gothic aristocratic castle, Kraft, the current patriarch of the Polanas Family, answered the phone.

"What?" Kraft stood before the window, looking down at the fountain garden within the castle grounds. His gaze was cold, his expression sinister.

"You say... my sister was killed?"

The icy chill in his tone could be felt by the person in charge on the other end, even through the satellite phone.

"Ye... yes, that Lord Chu He..." At this point, the person in charge glanced at the two headless corpses in the conference room and shuddered violently. "He... he even posted the surveillance footage on the Martial Artist Forum."

"Beep—"

The dial tone came from the phone in the person's hand. He was instantly plunged into confusion, unsure of what to do next.

On the other end, Kraft opened the HR Alliance Martial Artist Forum. The popularity of the video showing the killing of the Vulture and Scorpion couple was climbing at a rapid pace.

The video depicted an Advanced War God equipped with a Black God Set and an Executive President of the HR Alliance China Region attempting to carve up the assets of a 19-year-old Councilor, even going so far as to verbally insult him, only to be killed on the spot by that very Councilor.

Clement watched the entire video in silence, along with the comments beneath it, his expression shifting between shades of anger and uncertainty.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

Accompanying the curses were the constant sounds of furniture being smashed.

The evidence was conclusive; the two had sought their own deaths. Clement couldn't even retaliate openly if he wanted to.

That was a Councilor!

Currently, on the entire Earth, there were no more than 60 Councilors within the statistics of the War God Palace!

Even the entire HR Alliance would not dare to do such a thing to a Councilor without cause.

For a mere two Advanced War Gods to dare to act this way...

Even if they were killed, they deserved it!

If they dared to insult a Councilor to his face, one could only imagine how arrogant and domineering they must have been in private!

It had been a long time since such explosive news had appeared on the Martial Artist Forum, and the martial artists were naturally discussing it in droves.

"God, this is insane!"

"Where did this monster Chu He pop out from?"

"A nineteen-year-old Councilor? God!"

Even the most composed people were shaken by this fact.

"How is it possible? Aunt just died like that?" Inside the Elite Training Camp, deep shock filled the dark eyes of Candice, the first heir of the Polanas Family.

The identities and strengths of the three parties involved were stripped bare almost instantly.

Vulture and Scorpion had been famous for a long time, and many people knew them.

However, previously, only those who had seen Chu He at the War God Palace knew who he was.

This time, as the video went viral on the global Martial Artist Forum, the nineteen-year-old Councilor suddenly burst into the field of vision of martial artists worldwide.

Nineteen years old! Councilor!

Even the most reckless person had never imagined such a genius could exist!

If he were an eighteen-year-old Advanced War God, perhaps those who were well-informed wouldn't be too surprised.

After all, Chu He did not come from an ordinary background; his grandfather and father had both successively become War Gods. The children of Hong and Thunder God had also become War Gods at a very early age.

But a nineteen-year-old Councilor...

That was proof of absolute talent!

The last person to stun the world like this was the nineteen-year-old Invincible War God, Luo Feng.

"Another Chinese person, God! I've always said their genes are the best!"

"Exactly. The world's number one powerhouse, Hong, is Chinese, and the second, Thunder God, also has Chinese blood. Now, the two new geniuses that have appeared are also Chinese..."

"God! I suspect this has something to do with their culture!"

At this moment, all organizations across the globe and the majority of martial artists began to discuss this matter and this person.

Extreme Martial Arts Gym headquarters, inside a massive, abandoned spaceship.

Hong looked at Thunder God with a gentle expression, a smile playing on his lips. "It seems your Thunder Dojo has produced a genius as well!"

"Brother Hong, you're teasing me!" Thunder God chuckled. "I would love to recruit him, but the guy has already set up his own Jiuzhou Group. His intentions are quite clear; I'm afraid I won't have any luck."

"That's true. This Chu He is a bit different from Luo Feng..." As he spoke, Hong's expression calmed, and a trace of melancholy flashed deep in his eyes.

"Brother Hong, I guess Luo Feng just had bad luck. If you're interested, why not just cultivate another one? I see this Chu He is also a Spirit Reader. How about you give me that copy of Basic Spirit Reader Techniques you have?" Thunder God's eyes shifted as he rubbed his bald head and laughed.

"You..." Hong shook his head with a bitter smile. "You haven't even met this Chu He yet, and you're already in such a rush to ask for favors for him?"

"That doesn't necessarily mean it's for him. I have another Spirit Reader in my Thunder Dojo named Sago Nehru. Can't I ask for it on his behalf?" Thunder God retorted stubbornly.

"Ha! That Sago Nehru has been in your Thunder Dojo for so long. If you really wanted to, you would have come to me ages ago. Why wait until now?" Hong immediately exposed Thunder God's little scheme.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Hong shook his head again and continued, "Forget it. Cultivating another genius is a good thing."

"Just in case... I worry that one day, Earth will be discovered by some kingdoms or factions in the universe!"

"By then, who knows how those cosmic forces will treat the humans of Earth? Extinction, enslavement, or being sold off as slaves..."

"Having one more genius might help us shoulder some of the pressure."

"Exactly!" Thunder God slapped his thigh. "Brother Hong always looks at the big picture!"

Although he said that, Thunder God knew deep down that in the vast universe, Earth was truly insignificant.

The future destiny of humanity on Earth was, for now, something only the two of them could carry.

Originally, if Luo Feng could grow up, he might very well have become one of them, but who would have known...

"By the way, Brother Hong, what do you think about the HR Alliance calling for Chu He to be dealt with?"

When Thunder God brought this up, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He had been annoyed with that group of people in the HR Alliance for a long time.

All they knew was how to fight for power and profit, without ever considering the future of humanity.

However, considering those people hadn't done anything to harm humanity, Thunder God could still tolerate their existence.

If it were up to Thunder God, he would blame Chu He for not killing enough!

Since they had finally caught them in a mistake, they should have just wiped out that person in charge on the side as well.

"Let's go. It's time for the War God Palace to hold a meeting." Hong's expression turned cold, a hint of killing intent lurking in his eyes.

With their influence, they naturally knew the ins and outs of the matter from the very beginning.

That Li Yao actually dared to lay a hand on Luo Feng's family; he truly deserved to die!
