âIt seems like a miracle did happen to you. But, why are you known as the Ying Yang Cultivator?â
asked Chen Hao curiously.
âItâs a title given exclusively to me based on my traits. As for you, Chen Hao, you think that youâre extremely powerful, right? Do you think that no one else can defeat you?â asked Ying Yang.
âIâve never thought of myself that way!â Chen Hao shook his head.
âStop acting. I admit that you were indeed powerful and extremely talented before this. However, what weâve seen before was only a tiny bit of this huge world!â
âCultivators are actually the ones who control the worldâs real law and order. They have the best capabilities to rule the world. Almost every country has their own group of highly-ranked cultivators!â
âOf course, even though Iâm already part of the world-class cultivators with my title as the Ying Yang Cultivator, Iâm fully aware of my weaknesses. Iâm only a Ying Yang First Tier Cultivator, and I still have a long way to go before I can become a Ninth Tier Cultivator. Not to mention the power Iâll have when I become the strongest person in the world and become the King of Kings!â
The sarcasm on Ying Yangâs face was gone, and he became extremely respectful when he talked about the King of Kings.
âWould a person become the King of Kings after he has mastered his skills as a Ninth Tier Cultivator?
Who is the one responsible for giving these titles out?â asked Chen Hao curiously.
âHehe, you donât have to know who gives out these titles. To be honest, Iâm only telling you this because everything happened all too quickly, and I was not able to share my happiness with anyone, not even to my disciples. He was only astonished when I told him!â
âHahaha, but youâre different, Chen Hao. To be honest, youâre a wonderful young man. You have a great personality, and youâre extremely gifted in the cultivation base. I admire you very much from the bottom of my heart, but I canât help it; some people are born to be evil, and that includes myself.
Besides, weâve been fighting against each other for a long time, and you have even tried to kill me.
Youâre my enemy!â
âAs such, itâs an extremely wonderful feeling to be telling you about my amazing growth. Hahaha! One year ago, I was defeated by you. One year later today, the gap between the both of us is too wide that it can no longer be closed!â
âIâve been keeping these words to myself for a year, and I finally have the chance to let it all out today!â
Ying Yang chuckled.
âDonât be in such a hurry to laughâI still have some questions that I would like to ask, Ying Yang. Since youâre so powerful, why are you serving a young master like him?â
After hearing Ying Yangâs explanation, everyone thought that Chen Hao would be shocked. After all, Ying Yang was his biggest enemy.
Even if Chen Hao wasnât shocked, he would feel nervous at the very least.
No one expected Chen Hao to remain so calm and composed. He crossed one leg over the other, as if he was a team leader listening to his subordinateâs progress report calmly.
F**k!
Ying Yangâs face was filled with anger. He wasnât happy with Chen Haoâs attitude.
Ying Yang sneered as he said, âYour mental growth is really amazing, Chen Hao. To be honest, throughout the past year, not many people were as calm as you when faced with meâ¦â
âThatâs enough, please answer my question!â
Chen Hao lifted a hand and interrupted Ying Yang.
âHmph, you son of a b*tch! Youâve been rude to me several times. It seems like youâre in need of a harsh punishment. Well, let me show you what a real cultivator of the world is like, you narrow-minded man! Itâs going to cost you your life!â
Following his outcry, Ying Yang let go of Shen Piaopiao immediately.
He held a sword formula in his hands and pointed directly toward Chen Hao!
Bang!
Chaos ensued in the private suite.
Clank!
The tables and chairs were flung out of the way; the wine glasses cracked and scattered all over the floor; and the glass windows shattered in unison.
As he pointed toward Chen Hao, the light of a purple-black sword shone directly on him.
âThatâs so powerful, yet so terrifying!â
Shen Tiangangâs lips twitched and his body started trembling.
However, when the swordâs light was about to hit Chen Hao, it vaporized into thin air and disappeared without a trace in front of him instantly.
âHmm? How was that possible?â
Ying Yang was in disbelief as he stared at his sword finger.
This technique was called the Soul Slash, and it was just as powerful as its name suggested. Ying Yang had already perfected his skills before that, and had never once failed before.
âWould you like to know why it disappeared?â asked Chen Hao casually.
âW-Why?â
Ying Yang frowned. All of a sudden, he felt that this young man in front of him wasnât as unambiguous as he thought he would be. He was too calm, and it was terrifying.
Chen Hao did not answer.
He merely imitated Ying Yang, holding a sword formula in his hands.
Then, he pointed toward a direction.
Bang!
The surrounding walls cracked and exploded instantly, collapsing like it was the end of the world.
A purple-black sword light shot out.
Shen Tiangang and Manager Wang, who were standing side by side, felt a strong gust of wind which tore the corners of their lips. A stream of fresh blood started trickling down.
There was something even weirderâthe power of the light was enough to destroy the entire hotel, but just as it was about to reach the foundation of the building, it disappeared abruptly under the control of Chen Hao.
When it reappeared, it had been transformed into a small glimmer of sword light. The light swept across Ying Yang, leaving a bleeding scar on his face.
âWhat?â
Ying Yang panted heavily as he widened his eyes in disbelief and glanced at Chen Hao.
âDid you become a cultivator as well?â Ying Yang yelled in shock.
The cultivation base that Chen Hao had presented just now was the highest level of cultivation; it involved being flexible and having control over oneâs own skills.
This was at a level that Ying Yang had yet to achieve for the time being.
Yet, Chen Hao already perfected the highest level of the skill.
âWhen did you become a cultivator? When did you master your Soul Slash?â asked Ying Yang anxiously.
âI became a cultivator a few days ago, to be specific. As for the Soul Slash, I learned it from you just a while ago. You think that youâre extremely powerful, but your actions are very slow! Furthermore, you have yet to master the spell to the point where you can utter them silently. I heard everything!â said Chen Hao, smiling.
âYouâ¦â
Ying Yang took two steps back fearfully.
The man in front of him scared him to the core.
Thump!
Ying Yang kneeled instantly. âItâs all my fault, Young Master Chen. No, thatâs not right. Please forgive me, senior!â
Ying Yang knelt down and kowtowed to him.
He was afraid of death. Although he wasnât too afraid of it in the past, he was certainly afraid of it now.
It hadnât been easy for him to achieve all of this to become one of the best in the world. What was more, being a cultivator meant that he could reap the benefits of longevity. All of this meant a lot to him, as if it was only a fantasy.
He could even wake himself up by laughing in his dreams.
He did not want to lose everything he had right now.
Chen Haoâs reaction was extraordinarily calm in the beginning, and he showed off his skills in the end.
As he witnessed this, he understood that this young man in front of him was way more capable than him. Just like what he had said earlier, the gap between them was too wide that it could not be closed!
He thought of himself as the main character when he said that before. But now, Chen Hao was the true main character, which made it unbearable for Ying Yang.
Thump!
Manager Wang was also dumbfounded. He went on his knees immediately.
âPlease forgive me, Young Master Chen!â
As for Young Master Duan, he went through an intense inner struggle, debating if he should kneel before Chen Hao. When he saw his master getting down on his knees to save his life, he knew that he couldnât continue to be arrogant anymore.
Hence, he went on his knees with a thud as well.
Chen Hao was already sitting in Young Master Duanâs seat. He lifted the untouched teacup to his lips, and took in the smell of the fragrant tea before taking a sip.
âYing Yang, it has been a while since we last met. To be honest, I donât know when it started, but I have been enjoying it when people talk to me in such a manner. If the three of you had behaved like this from the beginning, I wouldâve been delighted a long time ago!â
