Chu Hao's Ruthlessness and Arrogance Provoked Xie Yue Again

"Little Hao, why did you agree to him?"

"Yan's soul power is very high, and his martial soul is powerful too. You're no match for him at all."

"If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Teacher?"

"Just take it as your sister begging you. Let's stop messing around, all right?"

Hu Liena caught up to Chu Hao and held his little hand, urging him again and again, hoping he would take back the decision he had just made. She was only a step away from pressing her whole body against him.

But Chu Hao remained silent and did not even spare her a glance, making her terribly anxious. She said almost every nice thing she could think of, until her lips were nearly worn out.

In the end, Chu Hao still did not say a word. He kept his face cold and ignored her.

Left with no choice, she could only run ahead and try to persuade Yan.

But Yan was completely in a fit of anger right now and could not listen at all. Hu Liena was so furious she cursed outright, and even kicked him, but Yan still remained unmoved. She was so anxious she almost wanted to cry.

Xie Yue, unable to keep watching, had no choice but to step forward and stop her. With a bitter smile, he said, "Nana, don't you know Yan's personality by now? Stop trying to persuade him."

"Brother, what's wrong with Yan? He's just like a stubborn donkey. I already said this was all a misunderstanding, so why won't he listen?"

"If anything happens to Little Hao, how am I supposed to explain it to Teacher?"

Hu Liena really felt like crying.

"Nana, you don't understand. This is a matter between us men, so don't get involved."

"But don't worry. We all know what kind of person Yan is."

"Although he's angry, he hasn't lost his reason. He still knows his limits when he acts. At most, he'll teach the boy a lesson. Nothing will happen to him."

Xie Yue understood this younger sister of his far too well and comforted her gently.

"I hope so. If Yan dares hurt Little Hao, I'll never forgive him for the rest of my life."

With Xie Yue's comfort, Hu Liena looked as if she had suffered some great grievance and almost burst into tears.

Her brother was still the best. He cared about her the most.

"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on the fight at all times. If it really comes to it, I'll force them to stop. You can relax now, right?"

Xie Yue pulled Hu Liena into his arms, his face full of heartache.

"Mm!"

Hu Liena nodded obediently.

With Xie Yue's comfort, she could be considered much more at ease.

This was the trust and power of family.

"Let's go!"

Xie Yue patted her on the back, then held her little hand and caught up.

Before long, the group of four arrived at Martial Soul Hall Fighting Arena.

Here, there were more than a dozen arenas. It was one of the places where Martial Soul Hall's internal personnel carried out real combat training, and also a place to issue challenges and settle personal grudges.

Though the place did not look large, it was packed with people.

Intense battles were taking place on every arena. It could be called bursting at the seams, lively beyond compare.

But when all the watching and cheering crowds saw Chu Hao and the other three arrive, they all took the initiative to make way, their eyes filled with awe.

It was clear just how high the prestige of Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena was here.

"You two, get the hell down!"

Yan did not even look at the people here and walked straight to the largest arena in the center.

On this arena, two Soul Kings were currently locked in an intense duel.

But Yan showed no fear at all. He jumped straight onto the arena and barked angrily.

When the two dueling Soul Kings heard the shout, they were still very angry and wanted to teach this ignorant brat who had interrupted them a lesson.

But when they saw Yan, they froze on the spot, a trace of fear appearing in their eyes.

Afterward, the two exchanged a glance, then jumped off the arena.

It was clear Yan was also a tyrant in the fighting arena.

"Kid, get up here!"

"We'll fight right here!"

Yan slowly walked to the middle of the arena and pointed arrogantly at Chu Hao.

It had been a long time since he last stepped onto an arena. That long-lost feeling of absolute dominance made his heart surge.

Back then, he had been unrivaled in the fighting arena. No one his age had been his match, and among those in the same realm, apart from Xie Yue, no one could defeat him. Even against Soul Kings, he could rely on his powerful strength to stand against them, and even defeat them.

The two Soul Kings who had been dueling on the arena earlier had once been defeated by him.

When everyone present saw Yan take the initiative to challenge someone, they all looked in the direction he was pointing, their eyes filled with excitement.

One had to know, the period when Yan had been in the fighting arena had been the liveliest time of all.

Every one of his duels left everyone watching with their blood surging.

Now that the king had returned, how could they not be excited?

But when everyone saw that the person Yan was pointing at was a boy who was not very old, they froze on the spot.

What was going on?

Why would their king challenge some brat?

No way!

Had their king fallen so low?

Chu Hao looked at Yan's provocation, his eyes narrowing as a cold glint flashed through them.

This guy was pretty arrogant.

"Little Hao..."

Seeing that Chu Hao was about to go up, Hu Liena still could not bear it. She held his little hand, wanting to make one last attempt to stop him.

"Let go!"

Chu Hao looked at Hu Liena's worried expression, his brow tightening.

In his eyes, all of this had been caused by Hu Liena.

If she had not messed around, if she had not acted recklessly, would this whole string of problems have happened?

This was simply wasting his precious time.

"Little Hao, you really don't have to do this," Hu Liena tried to persuade him again.

"It's none of your business!"

"Let go of me!"

Seeing that she still would not stop, Chu Hao snapped impatiently in a harsh voice.

Nagging on and on—wasn't she annoying?

Hu Liena heard his scolding and was startled. She slowly let go of his hand, her eyes filled with grievance.

How could he do this?

I care about you so much.

And this is how you treat me?

Why?

"Kid, what do you mean by that?"

"Is that how you treat Nana?"

"Are you worthy of her concern for you?"

Xie Yue had seen everything clearly from the side, and he flew into a rage on the spot.

If Hu Liena had not stopped him, he would already have kicked Chu Hao flying just now.

You dare bully my sister!

You're asking for a beating!

"None of your damn business."

"If you're unhappy about it, then come up too. I'll take you both on at once!"

Chu Hao glanced at him and spoke coldly.

That icy, disdainful look made Xie Yue burn with rage.

Even everyone present was furious when they saw this scene.

Where had this kid come from? He actually dared treat our goddess like this. He was simply courting death, unforgivable.

"Are you challenging me?" Xie Yue said coldly.

His tone was filled with chill.

To Chu Hao, Chu Ling was his bottom line.

But in the same way, Hu Liena was also Xie Yue's bottom line.

This kid had coldly rejected Hu Liena's goodwill again and again, and had completely enraged him.

Forget Yan wanting to teach him a lesson—even he had that thought now.

He was far too deserving of a beating.

"What?"

"You don't dare?"
