Chapter 600: Testing the Waters
Chu Hao chuckled, saying, "Her? I've already educated her."
Luo Qingyan immediately rolled her eyes, daring to say he educated her, was he her father or her mentor?
However, the Red River Star King's anger was barely concealed. To cripple a Star King's son and think it's settled by just saying he had educated him? After this incident, the Eight Cloud Star King would definitely come in person.
The Red River and Eight Cloud both belonged to the Thousand Flowers Star Domain, paying tribute to the Thousand Flowers Domain Master. And what was the relationship between the Eight Cloud Star King and the Thousand Flowers Domain Master? The Eight Cloud Star King was the youngest disciple of the Thousand Flowers Domain Master!
If it were not so, how could he have agreed to allow seven Star Masters to enter his territory and run rampant?
It wasn't a matter of giving face to the Eight Cloud Star King but to the Thousand Flowers Domain Master!
Fortunately, no one was killed, which meant there was a possibility of resolution, so the Red River Star King still sat very calmly. He snorted and said, "If the Eight Cloud Star King comes in person, will you 'educate' him too?"
Chu Hao burst into laughter and said, "That naturally should be handled by the Red River King. I dealt with the minor; the major ones should be left to the Red River King. How dare I overstep."
Now you know your place, where were you before?
The Red River Star King appeared even more dissatisfied, saying, "Why should I help you?"
"As the king of the Red River Galaxy, all people are your subjects, anyone who moves against your subjects is like moving against your own son. I believe with Red River King's character, you definitely cannot endure this!" Chu Hao said with righteous indignation.
The Red River Star King's face twisted, he really wanted to slap Chu Hao.
Loving the people like his own children, my ass!
This was just an empty talk; faced with another King of Stars's threat, especially one who was a direct disciple of a Domain Lord, he naturally chose to preserve himself. A Star King towards a Domain Lord was like a Star Master towards a Star King, utterly powerless to retaliate.
If he really displeased the Thousand Flowers Domain Master, he would probably have to abandon everything and flee to the Ancient Academy, seeking sanctuary there.
Thus, unless absolutely necessary, he naturally did not wish to fall out with the Eight Cloud Star King, let alone provoke the Thousand Flowers Domain Master.
"Hmph, you think with a few words, I would take on such a burden for you?" the Red River Star King sneered, "I will not interfere in this matter, you solve it yourself."
"Fine, I'll solve it myself," Chu Hao said with a smile, not caring at all.
The Red River Star King really couldn't see through this young man, just a mere Star Master; even if he could easily suppress High Tier Star Masters, it only showed how exceptional he was among Star Masters, but he was still light-years away from a King of Stars.
"Oh, then I must see what capabilities you have." He immediately struck out, pushing forward a palm from which a water dragon emerged, its body densely covered with Divine Patterns. This was genuinely a fifth-level Water Series Law, and the number exceeded two thousand!
Chu Hao naturally would not take it head-on. In the Ancient Academy, he continually challenged Kings of Stars, discovering his limit combat power was around the Third Tier Kings of Stars; some he could defeat, others he could not.
—It's normal for there to be a gap in combat power when in the same realm.
But the Red River Star King was almost a seventh-tier King of Stars, possibly even stronger. To confront his attack head-on would be suicidal.
Chu Hao initiated Spatial Teleportation, instantly appearing at a far-off location, and said calmly, "How about a battle in the starry skies? It also makes it easier to move."
"Spatial Series?" The Red River Star King realized, no wonder Chu Hao was so confident, he was cultivating the Space Laws. Among the Eight Series Laws, in terms of power, the Spatial Series could be ranked second and in terms of escaping, definitely first.
However, today he would let this youngster know the vast distance between a Star Master and a King of Stars.
Boom!
He shot into the sky, shouting, "Fine, let's battle in the starry skies. I want to see the intensity of the Spatial Series Secret Techniques!"
The Star Masters hurriedly followed into the starry sky, but their speed could not compare to Chu Hao and the Red River Star King. Fortunately, the level of this battle was terrifying. Even in the starry sky, they could easily locate it, thus not losing their way.
"Take this!" The Red River Star King attacked with strength, wanting to teach his opponent the respect for hierarchy.
Chu Hao's figure flashed, moving and jumping through the dark cosmos. Under Spatial Teleportation, even the King of Stars's attacks could not touch him!
Luo Qingyan and others hurried over; by this time, Chu Hao had already exchanged hundreds of moves with the Red River Star King. Naturally, it was always the Red River Star King attacking and Chu Hao dodging, but the scene could be said to be evenly matched.
The Red River Star King was on the offensive, but not once did his attacks take effect, so naturally, it was a draw.
"Damn, how can there be such a terrifying Star Master!" Everyone was transmitting their Divine Senses, Chu Hao's power was simply beyond limits. Luo Qingyan was also stunned. She knew Chu Hao could easily crush Star Masters, but to contend against Kings of Stars was something she never imagined nor dared to.
Chu Hao laughed loudly, his voice turning into waves attacking the Red River Star King, the Laws of Five Elements converging to form a fearsome killing intent.
"Hmm?" The Red River Star King, a connoisseur, noticed this sonic attack and could not help but change his expression.
Laws of Five Elements!
How is that possible!
This kid was adept at Space Law, so how did he suddenly use the Laws of Five Elements? He is a controller of the Water Series Laws. In his view, although Chu Hao was not as high as him in the tier of the Water Series Laws, he far surpassed him in quantity.
How many fifth-level water system laws were involved? Millions or tens of millions?
Moreover, due to the Mutual Generation and Overcoming of the Five Elements, to meld the Laws of Five Elements into one, a perfect balance must be achieved. This means that Chu Hao must be equally strong in the other four series of laws.
This is too bizarre, and very foolish!
Does a Star Master comprehend five-level laws faster than the King of Stars? Therefore, what you take ten thousand years to comprehend a few five-level laws as a Star Master, could only take a few thousand or even a few hundreds years after reaching the King of Stars.
As Chu Hao was still a Star Master, comprehending just three thousand five-level laws would suffice; quickly melding them into a fourth-level law and advancing to King of Stars would be the way to go!
To seek slightly stronger combat power at the same tier but hinder the enhancement of a great realm—isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Others only begin to cultivate other laws after reaching the tenth tier, unable to progress further, to save time in the future as well as to boost their combat power.
Wait a minute!
This guy is clearly not a high-tier Star Master. How could he possibly have mastered so many laws?
Hiss, that means the opponent hasn't been a Star Master for long and his level of Star Force had not caught up yet. However, his comprehension in laws was terrifyingly advanced, thus he far exceeded his realm.
What a monster!
How many years does it take to accumulate Star Force? But how many years does it take to comprehend laws?
These thoughts may seem substantial, but they merely flashed through the mind of the Red River Star King, who immediately waved his hand, and the water dragon reappeared, with divine patterns surging, striking towards Chu Hao.
Although Chu Hao deployed as many as millions of laws in this strike, facing a fourth-level law it collapsed instantly. The water dragon moved again, lunging to bite at Chu Hao.
Chu Hao unfolded Spatial Teleportation, and began his relentless counterattacks.
Whizzing through the starry sky, the Light of Laws dazzled, all attacks launched by Chu Hao, covering 360 degrees without a blind spot, because his teleportation was too fast, as if there were a thousand, ten thousand of him constantly bombarding.
Useless.
The Red River Star King put up a water shield, the fourth-level law gleaming, effortlessly blocked all attacks.
This is the gap, the King of Stars is too strong!
Chu Hao had mastered trillions of five-level laws, but when fully unleashed, they were only a match for a third-tier King of Stars. Beyond this limit, his attacks would be completely ineffective.
However, under the cover of Spatial Teleportation, self-protection was more than sufficient.
After fighting for a long while, the Red River Star King took the initiative to stop.
It wasn't that he did not want to eliminate this potentially significant future threat, but rather he simply couldn't. So, he might as well change strategy, become allies with Chu Hao. This member of the Human Race, as long as he survived, had limitless potential!
And clearly, Chu Hao, who had mastered Space Law, was very difficult to kill, at least the King of Stars couldn't do it—unless it was also a Space Series King of Stars.
"Hahahaha, truly a hero from youth!" he laughed and telepathically communicated, "Come, let's go drink some wine!"
Chu Hao also smiled slightly, and said, "Please!"
The two turned and left, not even bothering to notify anyone else, with their strength and status, indeed, they didn't need to.
Arriving at the underwater palace, the Red River Star King entertained Chu Hao with the utmost ceremony, bringing out vintages of several tens of thousands of years, earnestly inviting him, full of sincerity, and later, bolstered by the alcohol, they even started addressing each other as brothers.
"Younger brother, how about we become sworn brothers?" suggested the Red River Star King.
Chu Hao understood the other's intentions, as he was eyeing his potential and beginning to invest in him. He wasn't averse to the idea, and since he planned to stay here long term, intending to move the people from the New Continent here, he gladly agreed.
—But with this brotherhood, Shui Wujun, once he knows, would probably turn green with envy, having to address him as 'uncle'.
The Red River Star King patted his chest, assuring that he would handle the Eight Cloud Star King, disregarding that disciplining one's child is just discarding the worthless ones, even without War God's acknowledgment, those kinds of sons wouldn't amount to anything even if preserved.
Chu Hao also returned to Guangyuan Continent, checked the nearly completed Human Race's great city, then planned to return to the New Continent to move some people over.
He was one to act immediately upon deciding, stepping out right away, the Wings of Space unfolded, flying towards the New Continent.
Compared to his War God times, his speed had increased manyfold, in just about ten days he arrived at the New Continent. When he stopped, immediately several powerful Divine Senses swept over.
"I am Chu Hao!" he declared his identity.
"What!" These several Divine Senses all emitted shocked thoughts; then, seven Star Masters appeared, each looking at him with incredulity.
These were all former War Gods of Sky Martial Star, who, upon arriving at the New Continent and encountering flawless laws, these individuals, already standing at War God's Summit, had successively achieved breakthroughs, stepping into the Star Master level.
