"Kid, what do you mean?"
Xie Yue's expression changed drastically when he heard him.
He hadn't expected this brat to target him too.
Absolutely hateful!
Hu Liena and Yan were also stunned.
Good grief!
He was planning to sweep up all three of them in one net.
"Submit, or be my enemy!" Chu Hao said domineeringly.
"Kid, you've gone too far!" Xie Yue said, furious.
"Heh, bully you?"
"Is there any need?"
"You couldn't even take one move from me. You'd have to qualify first."
Chu Hao gave a cold, disdainful laugh, his tone filled with mockery.
"You..."
Looking at his arrogant, overbearing manner, Xie Yue truly wanted to give him a vicious beating.
But he simply couldn't beat him, so he could only fume helplessly.
"Xie Yue!"
Seeing that Xie Yue might be about to make a move, Yan patted him on the shoulder, telling him not to be impulsive.
If they really came to blows, things would be even more troublesome.
Taking a beating would still be considered getting off lightly.
If he was seriously injured and it affected his foundation, that would be a massive loss.
In truth, Yan was still somewhat looking forward to Xie Yue submitting to Chu Hao.
People were selfish, after all.
When they suffered, they always wanted others to suffer a little too.
Since he had already submitted, he naturally wanted to see Xie Yue submit as well.
That way, the two of them would be starting from the same point in terms of reputation again.
As the saying went, when life wasn't going your way, if you didn't drag your brothers down with you a little, your conscience just wouldn't let it rest.
"Brother!"
Hu Liena was also afraid Xie Yue would attack, so she held his hand and reminded him.
Feeling the two of them trying to stop him, Xie Yue painfully closed his eyes and remained silent.
Why did heaven have to treat him this way?
He had clearly already become the most outstanding talent of Martial Soul Hall's younger generation and was about to welcome a brilliant life, Yet a Chu Hao had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and cut off all his glory.
It was truly too tragic.
"Xie Yue, I'll give you three days to think it over."
"Once three days pass, you'll bear the consequences yourself!"
Chu Hao knew that making Xie Yue submit couldn't be rushed. He needed to give him some time, and also give Yan and Hu Liena some time to persuade him.
After leaving those words, he got up and left.
Xie Yue watched Chu Hao leave, feeling utterly conflicted.
"Little fellow, I don't know what you're hesitating about."
"Chu Hao is the most terrifying genius in terms of aptitude I have ever seen. If anyone can advance to Title Douluo before the age of twenty..."
"Then Chu Hao is that kind of person. In fact, he may be even more terrifying."
"Right now, you haven't even forced out his martial soul. What right do you have to compare yourselves with him?"
"Submitting to him will be your wisest choice."
"Ordinary people wouldn't even catch his eye."
After Chu Hao left, Du Feng did not follow him. Instead, he stayed behind of his own accord to act as a lobbyist.
To be honest, he truly admired Chu Hao.
To possess such terrifying strength, will, and vision at his age was rare in the world, the first of all time.
As early as when Qian Renxue ordered him to follow Chu Hao, he had already decided to follow him with absolute devotion.
Even a ruthless man like him, self-important and proud to the bone, had sworn to follow Chu Hao to the death, let alone brats like you.
Back then, his aptitude had been no worse than theirs.
If he had not been too arrogant in his youth, too ruthless in his methods, offending a group of people and bringing endless pursuit upon himself until he was badly wounded, he would have broken through to Titled Douluo long ago.
He would not have been stuck at level eighty-nine for decades.
"Senior, has Chu Hao already broken through to Soul King?"
"What is his martial soul?"
After listening to Du Feng's words of advice, Hu Liena asked curiously.
Since he had saved Chu Hao's life, he should know Chu Hao's strength.
"He has not broken through to Soul King, and in terms of soul-power level, he is far inferior to you. He is only a Soul Elder."
"However, he once killed a Soul Emperor with a single strike of his sword, and more than a dozen Soul Kings have died beneath his blade."
"His hands are stained with the blood debts of nearly a thousand people."
"The fact that you are still here already means he showed you mercy."
"And his martial soul is an incomparably sharp sword of slaughter."
"It is the most powerful martial soul I have ever seen. Even the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one tool martial soul of our Douluo Continent, falls far short of it."
"For you to become his subordinates would be an incomparably dazzling honor."
Du Feng stopped there.
After listening to his account, Hu Liena and the other two were so shocked their mouths would not close.
Soul Elder!
He was only a Soul Elder!
They had never imagined they had actually lost to a Soul Elder who had not even used his martial soul.
This... this was far too unbelievable.
And he had even killed a Soul Emperor!
That was a mighty Soul Emperor, killed by a Soul Elder.
How was that possible?
Could this man be lying to them?
But was there any need?
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
"This is all I have to say. As for what choice you make, that is also up to you."
"Remember, there is only one chance. If you miss it, you truly miss it. Do not do something you will regret."
"You would do well to think carefully."
"Oh, right. Chu Hao comes from Heaven Dou City."
With that, Du Feng paid no mind to whether they believed him or not and turned to leave.
Because his goal had already been achieved. Three days was enough time for them to investigate whether this matter was true or false.
Whether it was fortune or disaster would be decided by a single thought of theirs.
"Nana, I didn't hear that wrong, did I? Is Chu Hao really that strong?"
"With the cultivation of a Soul Elder, he killed a Soul Emperor? That's way too unbelievable."
After Du Feng left, Yan spoke in a shocked, hesitant voice.
"I don't know, but I feel that what Senior said is all true," Hu Liena said thoughtfully.
"Nana, who was that person just now?" Xie Yue suddenly asked.
"I don't really know either. I only know his name is Du Feng, and he was sent by the Grand Worship to protect Chu Hao," Hu Liena replied.
"Du Feng? And sent by the Grand Worship? How come I don't know anyone like that in Martial Soul Hall?"
Yan was instantly baffled. He racked his brain for a long while, but could not think of any information about this person called Du Feng.
"Du Feng... I feel like he's a little familiar. I think I've seen that name somewhere."
Xie Yue, however, sank into thought, his mind beginning to race.
He remembered that he seemed to have seen it on a wanted notice from decades ago.
Yan and Hu Liena were also each lost in their own thoughts.
"I know. I know who this Du Feng is."
At some point, Xie Yue suddenly cried out, a trace of trembling in his voice.
Hearing this, Yan asked curiously, "Xie Yue, who is this Du Feng?"
"One of the Ten Ruthless Men from fifty years ago, the Wolverine King, Du Feng," Xie Yue said solemnly.
Now, he was starting to believe Du Feng's assessment of Chu Hao.
After all, if even ruthless people like that were willing to follow him wholeheartedly...
Wasn't that the best proof?
Heavens!
Was Chu Hao really that powerful?
At that moment, Xie Yue was afraid.
He was truly afraid.
"Ah, I remember now too. I think I saw an introduction to him in the library. No wonder his name sounded a little familiar when I first heard it. So it was him."
"Brother, I think what Senior Du Feng said should all be true."
"Think about it. Chu Hao defeated Yan without even using his martial soul."
"That alone shows just how strong he is."
"Brother, why don't you submit to him too?"
