Chen Hao furrowed his brows, feeling a little regretful. Although he did not have absolute confidence in winning against Xiao Jihan, it was precisely because of this uncertainty that Chen Hao felt a sense of excitement from the depths of his bones, the excitement of challenging his limits!
This kind of excitement made his soul tremble!
Chen Hao was very clear that this was because of Li Yuan. However, Li Yuan was him, and he was Li Yuan. No matter who it was, it was no longer important. It was all him …
When he found out that Xiao Jihan was suppressing him and wanted to expel him from the Xiao family, he had been looking forward to the day when he could hold his head high and use his own strength, his own fists, to turn these useless people into ashes!
Therefore, in this half a year, other than the first two months when he followed the class to cultivate in the Xiao family, strictly speaking, he did not truly relax or rest for even a minute in the Demonic Cloud Mountain Range. He was always in a state of cultivation, hunting beasts, practicing ancient Chinese martial arts, and using the 《Longevity Secret Art》 to replace sleep …
Especially in the last two months, when the Yuan Qi condensed from the second level of the 《Longevity Secret Art》 stopped disappearing, he went against his promise to Old Man Xiao and ventured deep into the Demonic Cloud Mountain Range alone …
No one knew how much sweat and blood he had shed, and no one could tell. Because of his abnormal physical body, he should have been covered in scars, but there was not a single trace of injury left behind.
He had gone through countless perilous situations, especially the last one when he was about to return to the Xiao family …
Thinking about it now, while Chen Hao was excited, he also felt a lingering fear. That was truly a situation where he had narrowly escaped death. Chen Hao believed that if it had been an ordinary disciple like Xiao Ling 'er, or even a Grade Five Martial Master like Xiao Jihan, under such circumstances, the only outcome would have been death!
He had survived, and his body looked as if it had been soaked in a pool of blood as he returned to the Xiao family.
That was a Class 4 Advanced Stage Demonic Beast, the Mushroom-Shaped Vermillion Toad, which was equivalent to a Sixth Grade Martial Master. In addition to the Demonic Beast's innate talent and strong physical body, it could definitely reach the Seventh Grade or even Eighth Grade Martial Master. When Chen Hao saw the Mushroom-Shaped Red Toad, his hair stood on end. Before going to the Magic Cloud Mountains, he had already read a lot of records about the Magic Cloud Mountains in Old Xiao's room. Of course, he knew how powerful the Mushroom-Shaped Red Toad was. But at that time, with Chen Hao's strength, he didn't even have the chance to flee before being directly restrained by a terrifying Origin Energy fluctuation, and he was sucked into the Crimson Toad's stomach like a frog eating a fly …
That was truly a narrow escape. Being able to return alive was all thanks to his freakish physical body. If it were an ordinary person, the moment they entered the mushroom-shaped Vermillion Clam's stomach, they would be wrapped in the poisonous gastric juice and die immediately, being digested as food. Not to mention, in the Mushroom-Shaped Red Toad's stomach, he had played the role of Sun Wukong and fought with Princess Iron Fan, forcefully grinding the Mushroom-Shaped Red Toad to death and absorbing a portion of the Origin Energy within the Mushroom-Shaped Red Toad's body …
But it was also this last experience that led to the scene of Chen Hao breaking through to the First Grade Martial Master realm!
Fortune and disaster were interdependent, who could say for sure?
… …
Chen Hao shrugged with a little disinterest. He had long guessed that Old Xiao wouldn't ignore the life and death battle between him and Xiao Jihan. Even though Old Xiao didn't say anything to Chen Hao, Chen Hao, who had merged with Li Yuan's soul, could see clearly. Otherwise, Old Xiao wouldn't have spared no effort to teach him when he knew that he was going to die, nor would he have secretly followed him into the Magic Cloud Mountains to protect him.
Old Xiao only wanted to increase the pressure on him so that he would work harder in his cultivation. During the life and death battle, if his life was really in danger, Old Xiao would definitely intervene.
And now, the truth was as he had guessed.
… …
"Don't think that I will let you off just because Old Xiao and the Patriarch intervened …"
At this moment, Xiao Jihan, who was walking towards Xiao Ding with Chen Hao, lowered his voice and said provocatively, his expression unchanged after he got close to Chen Hao.
"Likewise." Chen Hao's expression didn't change as well, but a cold and arrogant glint flashed across his eyes as he replied with equal harshness.
"Hmph!" Xiao Jihan snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.
… …
Xiao Family's inner courtyard.
Only inner disciples and the direct descendants of the Xiao Family had the qualifications to stay in the Xiao Family's inner courtyard. Ordinary outer disciples didn't even have the chance to enter. However, Xiao Jihan wasn't unfamiliar with the Xiao Family's inner courtyard. Even though he wasn't an inner disciple, he had special privileges in the Xiao Family that ordinary disciples didn't enjoy because of his family's relationship with the Xiao Family.
As for Chen Hao, it was his first time stepping into the Xiao Family's inner courtyard.
Chen Hao and Xiao Jihan, one on the left and one on the right, followed behind Xiao Ding and walked into a huge room.
"Jihan, Xiang Hao, have a seat …"
Only then did Xiao Ding reveal a kind smile as he looked at the two of them. What surprised Xiao Ding was that Xiao Jihan's face was cold and the corners of his mouth were twitching. It was obvious that he was suppressing the anger in his heart. On the other hand, Chen Hao's handsome and masculine face was as calm as water, revealing an indifference and detachment that didn't match his age. Xiao Ding couldn't help but admire Chen Hao's composure.
"Since I called the two of you here, you should be able to guess my intentions, right?" Xiao Ding paused for a moment and didn't give the two of them a chance to speak. He continued, "The two of you are not bad. Both of you are geniuses that the Xiao Family has never had before. With the talents that you have displayed, the Xiao Family is worthy of nurturing at all costs! You should be clear about the Xiao Family's current situation, and the two of you are the hope of the Xiao Family! So … "
"Patriarch!" Xiao Jihan knew what Xiao Ding was going to say next. Thus, he couldn't help but interrupt Xiao Ding after being angered by Chen Hao's disdainful gaze. He said, "I alone am enough for the Xiao Family! In the past, I have never seriously cultivated, but now, I promise you that I will cultivate with all my might for the Xiao Family. One day, I will definitely make our Xiao Family the number one family in Yunzhou and charge out of Yunzhou. I will do what I say! A man's words carry enormous weight. Since I have agreed to a life and death battle with him, it should be a battle. Otherwise, how will I face the Xiao Family? So, please grant my wish, Patriarch! "
"Please grant my wish, Patriarch!"
What made Xiao Ding's head double was that Xiao Jihan's words were understandable. After all, Xiao Jihan was a Grade Five Martial Master. He didn't feel any pressure when facing off against Chen Hao. However, Chen Hao actually agreed …
Did this brat really think that he, a Grade One Martial Master, could defeat a Grade Five Martial Master?
Even Xiao Jihan was a little surprised by Chen Hao's words.
In Xiao Jihan's opinion, the reason why Chen Hao dared to be so arrogant was because of Old Man Xiao's protection. He felt that a life and death battle between them would definitely not happen. However, Chen Hao's current appearance didn't seem to be the case. Of course, that was for the best. He didn't believe that Chen Hao had the strength to defeat him. He, Xiao Jihan, wasn't an idiot like Xiao Jichang. Furthermore, they were in the Martial Master realm. A difference of one grade could crush someone to death, let alone a difference of four grades.
He could only say that Chen Hao was an extremely arrogant idiot who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!
Even Xiao Ding, the Patriarch of the Xiao Family, was rendered speechless by the two of them. After pondering for half a minute, he frowned and said, "The two of you are just messing around. Is there such a deep hatred between the two of you?"
"Until one of us dies!"
This time, before Xiao Jihan could say anything, Chen Hao said coldly.
In fact, if one only looked at the surface, the enmity between him and Xiao Jihan was indeed just a small fight. The two of them hadn't even had a direct confrontation.
However, how could Chen Hao see the problem so simply?
Xiao Jihan's series of suppression against him was completely unreasonable. However, it was precisely because it was unreasonable that he was an extremely sinister, despicable, and unscrupulous person. Chen Hao knew very well that as long as Xiao Jihan didn't die, he wouldn't let the matter rest. It would have been fine if Chen Hao was alone. Xiao Jihan didn't care about a clown who could only jump around for a while. So what if he played along?
However, Chen Hao wasn't alone. He had a family that he wanted to protect. This was his obsession in the past, in the present, and in the future.
Although Xiao Jihan's family wasn't a martial arts family, they had a lot of power in Cloud State. Given Xiao Jihan's nature, Chen Hao didn't doubt that he would do anything to deal with him.
"Either he dies, or I die!"
Xiao Jihan was stunned for a moment before his expression became abnormally sinister as he said this through gritted teeth.
"Both of you …" Xiao Ding looked at their determined expressions and waved his hand helplessly. "Alright, since that's the case, I'll agree to your battle. However, it won't be during the Xiao Family Tournament! Xiang Hao, apart from Jihan, you can challenge anyone tomorrow! If you really want to fight, then fight to the death at Cloud State's Martial Meet … "
"Cloud State's Martial Meet? Patriarch, does he have the qualifications to participate? Even if he was lucky enough to qualify, what ability does he have to stand on the same stage as me? I can agree to Patriarch's conditions, but if he doesn't have the qualifications to fight me at Cloud State's Martial Meet, then he must fight to the death with me after the Cloud State's Martial Meet! "Xiao Jihan looked at Chen Hao with disdain and said to Xiao Ding.
"I agree!" Chen Hao said fearlessly.
"Alright … It's decided for now. You guys can go … "Xiao Ding waved his hand and frowned. It was obvious that he was helpless.
