Chapter 167: Strong Dignity Pressure [1 of 10/13]
Liu Tianxiong and the others were utterly shocked when they heard Xu Hao mention "a Grandmaster Level Expert."
Grandmaster Level Experts were incredibly rare. Countless martial artists practiced in Huaya, no less than a million in number.
Yet, there were only about a hundred Grandmasters in total.
Even if some were cultivating in secluded mountains, and even after adding those, they remained exceedingly rare.
Each of them was a formidable force in their own right.
But now, they had actually encountered a Grandmaster Level Expert!
And Xu Hao had managed to see through his Invisibility Technique, forcing him to reveal himself!
Liu Tianxiong was overjoyed, convinced that his young master truly deserved his title and indeed possessed great strength.
Xu Hao looked at him and said with a light smile, "You, a Grandmaster Level Expert, actually work for others. Don't you find it a bit ridiculous?"
"Ridiculous? Work for others?"
The man shook his head, "I'm merely after that plate in your hand to trade for something else. How does that equate to working for others?"
Xu Hao suddenly took out the plate from his pocket and said with a smile, "Is this it?"
The man's eyes burned with intensity, "Yes! That's the one! Kid, if you hand it over, I might consider sparing your life."
Xu Hao gave a mysterious smile, looked around, and said, "Then tell me what this is used for."
Xu Hao wanted to see if the mysterious expert from the previous night was still around.
"I don't know," the Shadow Ninja huffed coldly. "Since you're not showing any sincerity, then don't blame me for killing you and taking the treasure!"
With that, the Shadow Ninja seemed to be losing patience and threw two shurikens with his hands, shooting them at Xu Hao.
Xu Hao immediately dodged, but the opponent was a Grandmaster Level Expert. Even without using Qi Force, his strength was immense and his speed incredibly fast—too fast for Xu Hao to avoid.
"Zing!"
There was a sharp sound, and Xu Hao was wounded in an instant.
But because he dodged a bit, it wasn't fatal.
At the same time, he counterattacked with a stab, but the opponent easily dodged.
"Humph! With this little skill, you think you can use me as a stepping stone? Presumptuous!" the Shadow Ninja jeered.
Yet Xu Hao remained silent, his physical state tense to the extreme, focusing intently on each strike the opponent made.
Fighting a Grandmaster Level Expert was a precious experience and wealth for every martial artist.
And Xu Hao's formidable recovery ability allowed him to sustain such a battle.
The Shadow Ninja became increasingly astonished as the fight progressed. Xu Hao's recovery ability was unlike anything he'd ever seen, and Xu Hao's strong learning and mastering skills were chilling to the core.
If such a genius were allowed to grow, he had no idea how strong the opponent could become.
Therefore, he must be killed!
But Xu Hao had already grasped some of the fighting patterns, and even though he was covered in wounds, as long as he wasn't dead, there was a chance.
Xu Hao's breathing grew weaker and weaker.
Liu Tianxiong and the others felt their hearts clench, and even Wang Zhong emerged from the shadows.
He understood that this was a battle of life and death.
If Xu Hao lived, he would surely be able to advance to Grandmaster.
If Xu Hao failed, it would take a long time to recover.
As for Xu Hao dying, that was unthinkable.
Xu Hao's Qi Force inside his body had almost run out, and the Shadow Ninja was also growing tired.
Xu Hao's recovery ability was too strong, making him seem like an indestructible cockroach with an extremely tenacious life force.
He had not planned to use any moves that would suddenly increase his strength, as they offered no help in advancing.
"Bang!"
He was knocked away.
He got up and fought again!
"Bang!"
Knocked away once more!
He got up and fought again!
…
Time and again he was knocked down, time and again he rose, Xu Hao never gave up.
The eyes of Liu Tianxiong and the others were somewhat moist.
Stubbornness, struggle, and resilience.
These were the spirits silently embodied by Xu Hao at that moment.
Finally.
After Xu Hao fell to the ground once more, there was no movement for a long time.
Was he dead?
The Shadow Ninja, gasping for breath, sat down on the ground, cursing, "Damn it! I've never met such a tenacious opponent! These damned Huaya people, they've nearly exhausted me!"
Liu Tianxiong wanted to go up and help Xu Hao, but Wang Zhong stopped him.
Just then, an incredibly potent Dignity Pressure emerged from Xu Hao's body!
Everyone was involuntarily compelled to kneel!
"Thump!"
Someone couldn't resist and knelt down.
"Thump! Thump!..."
Instantly, groups of people kneeled down!
In the end, apart from the Shadow Ninja lying on the ground, trembling, everyone else knelt, not daring to look up!
The next moment, it was as if everyone heard a Dragon's Roar!
But it also seemed as if nothing had happened.
The golden Dragon Pattern on Xu Hao's body flashed rapidly, then faded back into his skin.
At that moment, Xu Hao felt his body filled with power, explosive power!
He clenched his fists and slowly stood up.
Seeing everyone prostrate on the ground, he felt like a dragon king high above, commanding respect, looking down on the world with no equal in battle!
