“Three people!”
Su Hao lifted three fingers while pointing at Su Minghui and the other two people, “Only three of them. Even though this is a bet I proposed, I still find this unbelievable! Is this really our Su family? After enjoying peace for over a decade, it seems like it has made you forget what kind of era we’re living in!”
“If it was really an enemy attack just now…” Su Hao pointed with a finger, referring to the entire crowd, “The entire Su family would be wiped out from the first wave of attacks!”
Everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Yes, if it was really an attack just now…
Thinking about it, it took them a whole half an hour to get up from their slumber and drag their heavy feet to the square. In fact, there were some who still hadn’t fully woken up yet. However, no matter what state they were in, after these few words from Su Hao, everyone was completely sober!
If it was really an enemy…
Everyone had cold sweat dripping, soaking their back.
Su Hao sighed, “Perhaps you all might feel that the current time is peaceful and no wars will break out. I won’t touch about the problem regarding the berserk beasts. Just the Tian family alone, glaring at our Su family like a tiger looking at its prey, they even managed to sneak in three undercover elders! And they managed to lurk around for over ten years!”
“Do you think it will be a very long time before a war? ”
“Ridiculous!” Su Hao gave a cold hum, “Who knows? Maybe in the very next second, a war will break out! This is the era of origin ability, the chaotic life we’re living in! The only thing me and the big elder can do for you all is this. Your fate will always be in your own hands. If you want to survive…”
“Strive for more!”
“Now, everyone is dismissed!” Su Hao calmly finished his words and turned around to leave.
As for the disciples in the square, they were afraid and feeling guilty at the same time. Yes, the big elder and their Clan Head had worked hard, but what about them?
Su Hao left the scene.
However, these disciples were doomed to be sleepless tonight. One can imagine that after tonight, the entire spirit of the Su family would take on a new aspect.
“It turned out that I am that great?” The big elder rubbed his chin in doubt. His eyes revealed a hint of a smile. He had to admit that Su Hao’s words made him, someone who loves dignity, feel nice. This kid is still pretty good. As for Su Hao’s words to those disciples, they indeed matched with what he wished to say from the bottom of his heart.
“Seems that he will be quite a good Clan Head.” The big elder sighed.
It was a sigh half filled with gratitude and frustration.
“If this kid can just concentrate on becoming the Clan Head of our Su family, I can still forgive his previous actions.” The big elder’s mouth revealed a smile. Su Zhengwen saw this but didn’t add a word. However, he looked at the back of the departing Su Hao; letting this kid stay here as the Clan Head?
Is it possible?
He’s only twenty years old and already possesses Rule Force!
Coupled with his hatred toward the Tian family, can Su Hao really keep staying in the Su family?
The following day.
As expected, the entire Su family transformed.
Each disciple was bursting with life, renewing the spirit of the entire family. Each one of them trained hard as if an enemy is about to attack at any second. All the elders were pleased, looking at this scene. When they looked at the big elder, their eyes were full of worship.
The big elder is indeed far-sighted…
“It’s all for our Su family.” The big elder sighed and took all the credit by himself without any reserve.
When Su Hao knew this, he just smiled. He didn’t mind at all and believed that with this incident, the big elder’s prestige within the Su family would reach a higher level. The most important fact is that it had brought two people together, the Su family’s Clan Head and the one with the highest authority, the big elder.
Now, the current Su family is a true, solid iron plate!
Although they’re not that strong, for other families to obtain information and understand more of the Su family’s current situation is simply delusional. From now on, the Su family will become mysterious.
At least, that was the case in the eyes of others.
And this was Su Hao’s aim.
The big elder took control of the overall situation of the Su family, while Su Minghui acted as Su Hao’s right-hand man and handled all issues of the Su family on his behalf. Having these two men here, Su Hao felt relieved.
“You want to leave already?” Chen Yiran asked in a soft voice. Having accompanied Su Hao daily, she was the most familiar with Su Hao’s thoughts. As someone who wishes to cultivate, the Su family is never a permanent place.
“En.” Su Hao sounded calm.
During his time in the Su family, he was happy.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that it was the most comfortable time for him. His family is safe under the Su family’s protection, and he had nothing to worry about in regards to safety. Plus, he was able to be with Chen Yiran every day. With his power, who in the Su family dares not listen to him? These recent days, to describe his life as being comfortable and easy going isn’t far off.
Looking at his current state from a certain perspective, he could be considered as reaching the pinnacle of life, which many could only dream of.
However…
Can he really be at ease?
Li Tiantian, Xiao Die, Ping Yang, and Blue Dream Butterfly; they were all still asleep. With Shi Mingxuan and other residents of Kingdom of Heaven gone, can he really be at ease, enjoying his life? The Federation’s undercover movement, the joint force of the Tian family and Zhang family. When each force was acting in secret, and the world was filled with uncertainty, who dares to enjoy life?
Of course, the most important reason is cultivation!
In the Su family, he couldn’t cultivate!
Although the big elder didn’t say anything, he clearly knew that the resources needed to support Potential Release was too horrifying. Transforming the energy into his physical potential, how much resources are actually needed?
At that time, when he reached the bottleneck of 2,999 points which needed only one more point to breakthrough, forget about the resources used to achieve that, just when he broke through, his physical fitness instantly rushed to 3,600 points!
This isn’t one point but 601 points!
Plus, these 601 points coming from 2,999 to 3,600 points, when compared with the 899 points from 2,100 to 2,999 points, the resources required were much higher! Because of this, more than a dozen powerful domain realm elders were toyed by Su Hao into exhaustion that each one needed to go back and consolidate their energy for a month.
And now?
4,999 points…
Although he didn’t know extra how much this point would increase his strength by, it’s clear that this additional point would consume even more energy than what he used before this! And he had already consumed one-third of the Su family’s resources!
If he’s to continue using the Su family’s resources…
Then the Su family’s end would really happen.
Even without the big elder saying anything, Su Hao wouldn’t even touch the resources anymore.
Consuming one-third of resources can be considered as payment in advance, but if all the resources are to be consumed, then the family’s disciples would really have no resources to train with.
This is called killing the goose that lays golden eggs!
Su Hao naturally wouldn’t do such an amusing thing. Thus…
He must leave!
In contrast to the big elder expecting him to stay here while peacefully being the Clan Head and commanding their family, Su Hao didn’t even consider it. In this era of origin ability, only his hands can decide his destiny!
Not another person!
Three months.
Su Hao stayed in the Su family’s residence for another three months.
In these three months, Su Hao fully grasped and adapted to his newly found strength, greatly increasing his combat effectiveness and possessing combat strength comparable to an absolute domain esper! This is merely in terms of pure strength. If he’s able to master an origin technique at the same level, Su Hao was confident that he would easily overwhelm an absolute domain esper!
In short, his strength had returned to what it used to be in the past.
Although his Model Analysis is no longer here, Su Hao’s real combat strength already recovered to his previous level. If he’s to include that silver needle…
“It’s about time to leave.” Su Hao looked at the current Su family, which had changed beyond recognition, his heart felt more at peace.
“Yiran, do you want to go with me?” Su Hao pulled Chen Yiran’s hand. No matter how many days they were together, when he was with Chen Yiran, it was his happiest moments. As far as he was concerned, he hoped that Chen Yiran would be able to accompany him all the time. For both of them to fight together and overcome obstacles, isn’t that the best outcome?
However, Chen Yiran shook her head.
“You’re not leaving?” Su Hao was speechless.
“If you leave, I will leave the Su family too.” Chen Yiran said in a soft tone, “But I want to go and find my master.”
“My aunt?” Su Hao scratched his head, “Why?”
“Silly.” Chen Yiran poked Su Hao’s head, “With you around, you will always be wanting to protect me. How can I train then? I am afraid you won’t even be able to cultivate peacefully. Plus, it won’t be convenient for you to do things. Also…”
Chen Yiran paused for a second before resuming, “If there is a next time we are to meet such a situation, I wish to protect you and not end up like last time when I can only look from behind helplessly! Not even having the qualifications to die for you.”
Su Hao’s body trembled.
Chen Yiran actually thought this much?
Raising his head, he saw this soft but stubborn expression in her eyes. Su Hao went silent. Once upon a time, what kind of girl is Chen Yiran to him? For him, Chen Yiran had all the glory to accompany him silently. What happened previously made her somewhat uneasy.
Being powerless, she could only watch Su Hao being bombarded by Rule Force.
What kind of pain was that?
Li Tiantian, Xiao Die, two with grade S talent, they used a forbidden technique, consuming their life force to delay the effect of Rule Force.
As for her?
She didn’t have any forbidden technique.
Even when she’s someone with a grade S talent, she could only watch!
Looking at Li Tiantian and the others sending themselves to death, looking at Su Hao blocking in front of them, bearing all the force, what kind of pain were she, Zhou Wang and Li Xin experiencing?
To be protected by others is indeed blissful.
However, when a life is involved, the aftertaste won’t be that great. Just like what Su Wan said, she isn’t using her grade S talent to its highest potential.
Thus, she wished to get stronger!
Su Hao didn’t utter a single word.
He knew that Chen Yiran had such qualifications. Li Tiantian, Xiao Die, and Ping Yang all had heaven defying talent. Li Tiantian’s time control, Ping Yang’s space control, and Xiao Die’s telekinesis were able to bring two Rule Force into a stalemate, proving their worth as grade S talents. They were no ordinary talents.
As for Chen Yiran?
Having the same grade S talent but without any side effects, Chen Yiran was even more powerful than them! However, since she just got promoted to a grade S talent not long ago, she still couldn’t fully utilize it. He didn’t want Chen Yiran to take the risk, but looking at her stubborn eyes, Su Hao just hugged her tightly.
“Next time, I’ll be much stronger!”
If…
If he can protect Li Tiantian and the others…
If he has the strength to do so…
Su Hao hugged even tighter.
“En.” Chen Yiran whispered under his arms.
What is it about mastering a more powerful strength?
Some wanted to kill, for money, power, desire, and hope. As for Su Hao, strength is…
It’s for him to protect!
Protecting his loved ones, friends, and everything which he has!
“I’ll definitely become even stronger.”
These six words proved Su Hao’s unwavering determination.
