Hu Liena Submits to Chu Hao

"I..."

Hu Liena panicked a little when she heard what he said.

Just as Chu Hao had said, she had indeed had that idea earlier.

But she had only wanted to tease this newly arrived little brother. She had never meant to blow things up.

"What? Nothing to say?"

Seeing Hu Liena fall silent, Chu Hao smiled coldly.

Against someone as competitive as Hu Liena, he had to strike her head-on and make her understand just how insignificant she was.

"Y-You're right. I'm sorry!"

Hu Liena bit her lip, then, on the arena and in front of everyone, bowed deeply to Chu Hao to show her apology.

Yes, that was right!

With Hu Liena's personality, she would never apologize.

But she had no choice.

Because she did not know what extreme, impulsive thing this emotionless madman Chu Hao might do.

What if he killed Xie Yue?

Then she would lose the person closest to her.

At the same time, she deliberately used her naturally beautiful looks and proud figure to unleash her charm, hoping she could draw Chu Hao's attention and make him spare Xie Yue.

"Heh, so now you know to apologize?"

"Too late!"

Chu Hao looked at Hu Liena as she bent forward in a bow, revealing an astonishing weapon, and cold light shot from his eyes.

Indeed, Hu Liena's charm was very tempting.

If an ordinary person saw her, they would surely be subdued by her beauty.

Unfortunately, she had picked the wrong person.

This low-level charm was nothing but drifting clouds in Chu Hao's eyes.

"Then what exactly do you want?"

Seeing that Chu Hao was unmoved by her charm, Hu Liena felt somewhat disappointed. She pursed her lips and asked in an extremely aggrieved voice.

When everyone present saw her aggrieved appearance, they already hated Chu Hao to death.

But because Chu Hao was so powerful, none of them dared to show it.

Otherwise, they would have rushed up long ago and beaten him violently.

"Submit! I want you to submit!" Chu Hao declared with overbearing authority.

When Hu Liena heard this, her entire body trembled.

The demand Chu Hao made was the outcome she least wanted to see.

Making her submit would be worse than killing her.

"Nana, don't listen to him! Your brother is fine!"

The moment Xie Yue heard Chu Hao's demand, he panicked.

For geniuses like them, submission was simply humiliation, more unbearable than death.

"Shut up!"

Chu Hao hated people interrupting him when he was handling matters. He immediately roared at him.

To prevent Xie Yue from breaking free of his restraints, and also to achieve his goal, Chu Hao mobilized all his soul power, unleashed even more killing intent, and pushed the Ten Thousand Swords Art to its limit.

Countless sword lights emerged, condensing into enormous sharp swords of even more astonishing might, hovering around Xie Yue.

As long as he willed it, all the sharp swords would cut Xie Yue into pieces.

And the killing intent erupting from him pressed down hard on Xie Yue like a heavy mountain.

At this moment, Xie Yue felt that his life was no longer his own, but completely in Chu Hao's hands.

"Stop! I choose to submit!"

Seeing that Chu Hao was about to get serious, Hu Liena made the hardest decision of her life, and also the most correct decision of her life.

"Good. Not bad!"

"In the near future, you'll be glad you made this choice."

After receiving Hu Liena's answer, Chu Hao's thoughts moved, and the sharp swords condensed from sword light turned into beams of light that sank into his body.

When everyone present saw this scene, they were once again shocked by Chu Hao's methods.

Holy shit!

Too amazing!

He could even reclaim it?

How on earth had he done it?

What the hell!

"Let's go. Continue your mission and show me around Martial Soul Hall."

After Chu Hao reclaimed the Slaughter Sword Qi, his soul power recovered quite a bit. Without even glancing at Xie Yue, he leaped down from the arena, turned, and left.

When the spectators saw Chu Hao step down from the arena, they all took the initiative to clear a path, their eyes filled with awe.

No matter how much they loathed what Chu Hao had done, his strength had earned everyone's recognition.

That was just how this world was. The strong were respected.

"Nana, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm useless and let you suffer."

After Chu Hao jumped down from the arena, Xie Yue walked up to Hu Liena, his face full of heartache and guilt.

If he hadn't been so self-righteous and insisted on challenging Chu Hao, things would never have reached this point.

"Brother, it's not your fault. I brought all this on myself," Hu Liena said bitterly.

This time, she had truly dropped a rock on her own foot.

"Nana, don't worry. I'll definitely find a way to get justice for you."

Seeing Hu Liena look so wronged, Xie Yue's heart ached unbearably.

She was his only sister, yet he could only watch helplessly as she was bullied.

He was simply a useless piece of trash.

"Brother, there's no need. I'll think of something myself."

"Xiao Hao's strength and talent aren't something we can compare to."

Hu Liena was very moved by Xie Yue's determination.

However, Chu Hao's strength and talent were simply too terrifying. They were not on the same level at all.

And the most terrifying part was that he was still young, very young, with more youth on his side than they had.

That made him even more impossible to compare to.

The gap between them would only grow wider and wider as time passed.

As for getting back their dignity, that was nothing but a fool's dream.

"I..."

How could Xie Yue not understand that? But he truly did not know how to comfort her.

"All right, Brother. I have to go over. I still haven't completed the task Teacher gave me."

"Don't blame yourself anymore. Perhaps today's decision isn't so bad after all."

Hu Liena knew Xie Yue was worried about her, but things had already come to this. What else could she do but accept it calmly?

After briefly comforting Xie Yue, she leaped down from the arena and chased after Chu Hao.

She could not let that little ancestor grow impatient, or who knew what trouble he would stir up next.

"Nana, don't worry. I'll definitely work hard in my cultivation and defeat that kid."

Xie Yue watched Hu Liena leave, clenched his fists, and silently made up his mind.

Even though the odds of fulfilling that resolve were infinitely close to zero, he still could not give up.

Giving up was not in his nature.

"Do you want to make that happen?"

Just as Xie Yue was about to leave the arena, a hoarse voice sounded in his mind.

"Who? Who's talking to me?"

Hearing the hoarse voice, Xie Yue shuddered all over and looked around, trying to find who it was.

The people who had yet to leave stared at Xie Yue's panicked appearance, utterly confused, not knowing what he was doing.

"No need to look. I am outside the combat arena."

Just as Xie Yue thought he had been too nervous and was hearing things, the hoarse voice sounded in his mind again.

Hearing it, every hair on Xie Yue's body stood on end, and he walked out of the combat arena in both shock and fear.

When he saw the man wrapped entirely in a black robe, he froze in place, but then immediately came back to his senses, bowed, and saluted. "Greetings, Elder Ghost."

"Xie Yue, are you willing to take me as your master?" Ghost asked calmly.

When Xie Yue heard this, he was overjoyed. He hurriedly dropped to both knees, kowtowed repeatedly, and shouted, "Disciple greets Teacher."

"Rise. Starting tomorrow, you will study under me."

After receiving his answer, Ghost nodded, then left without a sound.

The reason he took Xie Yue as his disciple was simply because he saw Yue Guan had done the same.

He figured he might as well take on a disciple for fun.

In any case, Xie Yue's aptitude was among the very best in Martial Soul Hall, and his personality was decent, aligning with his own temperament; he was worth cultivating.

"Yes!"

Xie Yue responded respectfully and slowly stood up, his eyes brimming with excitement.

With Elder Ghost's guidance, there was still hope that he could surpass Chu Hao.
