Chapter 1513 - 1408: The Junior Brother’s Strength
"Fellow disciple! I would never stoop to calling someone like him a fellow disciple!" Qin Hao hadn’t even opened his mouth when Chu Mo, standing beside him, angrily shouted, "Qin Hao, if you’re a man, then come and fight me fair and square!"
Qin Hao heard this and slightly raised an eyebrow, "Since Senior Brother insists, I guess I have no choice but to oblige."
At these words, everyone couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Ah, things have finally reached this point.
The two could have gotten along peacefully.
However, Qin Hao had just joined and had been in the Inner Sect for only three days.
While Chu Mo had been in the Inner Sect for six years.
Isn’t this comparison a bit too unfair?
"Hmph! You little brat, at least you have some guts!"
Qin Hao’s acceptance of the challenge made Chu Mo very pleased.
After a grim smile, he was the first to walk over to the space beside the Pentagonal Pavilion, clapped his hands, and said, "Come on! Let me see what you’re really made of!"
"Sigh!"
Qin Hao shook his head helplessly, following him calmly.
The other fellow disciples looked at each other, but eventually hurried over, gathering around the area.
Everyone focused intently on the duel about to take place, unaware that not far from them, in front of a certain building, Ji Xinhu was standing there, watching with great interest.
In fact, he had been standing there for quite a while and had used a special Concealment Technique to avoid being noticed by his disciples.
He had seen the entire cause of the conflict between Qin Hao and Chu Mo.
"Chu Mo’s temperament hasn’t changed even after six years. With such a narrow-minded heart, how can he undertake a great responsibility?"
Ji Xinhu was quite helpless in his heart.
Outsiders didn’t know, but all the Grand Elders understood one thing.
That the next Peak Master would generally be chosen from the current Peak Master’s True Disciples.
Originally, Ji Xinhu had planned to make Chu Mo his successor.
However, a series of performances had already cost Chu Mo the eligibility for the election.
"But this Qin Hao is quite surprising, with so many talents, and his ability to endure and scheme!"
Ji Xinhu gave an internal evaluation.
He certainly didn’t think Qin Hao was good-natured, being provoked and insulted like this without getting angry.
He secretly guessed that Qin Hao must be thinking about how to deal with Chu Mo.
After all, from Qin Hao’s various exploits in the Outer Sect, his calculating nature was already evident.
"Since this kid is so calculating, could it be that he agreed to this duel because he is confident?"
Once Ji Xinhu had his answer, he was even more surprised: "How is this possible? How could he have this confidence after just three days? Chu Mo might have a poor temperament, but in terms of strength, he definitely has some skills. How could he be weak?"
As he was pondering, the duel over there had almost begun.
...
"You brat, you asked for it. Just don’t end up crying after I beat you!"
Chu Mo spat a harsh remark, rolled up his sleeves, and readied himself.
Qin Hao remained motionless, standing there calmly, silent, his eyes sometimes flashing brilliance, making it hard to guess what was on his mind.
This guy isn’t afraid of me?
Chu Mo felt a little annoyed, shouting loudly, "You brat, still pretending to be calm huh..."
Before he could finish, Qin Hao casually waved his hand, "Senior Brother Chu, are you a mouse? Why do you chatter so much? Can’t you be more straightforward like a man? Come on, please, I’ve waited until the flowers have withered."
As those words came out, the fellow disciples around them all grinned, their eyes flashing with surprise.
The usually gentle and silent Junior Brother turned out to have such a sharp tongue?
Look at that, the junior brother has revealed yet another talent!
"You dare to insult me?"
Chu Mo was stunned by Qin Hao’s words.
Originally, he just wanted to shake his opponent’s confidence.
But who knew the scheme didn’t work, and he got insulted instead.
"Die!"
In his rage, Chu Mo let out an angry roar, his figure flashing as he charged, his arm infused with immense Spiritual Qi.
Boom!
With that strike, it seemed as if the whole space had changed color, and the air screeched and exploded.
Smack!
That blow fell on Qin Hao’s head, a green light burst forth; it was Qin Hao raising his arm.
"Spiritual Qi! And so pure? Junior Brother’s strength is unexpectedly impressive!"
Feng Ziyun looked incredibly surprised, clenching his large fist.
Many shared his reaction, as did nearly all the other fellow disciples present.
"Junior Brother is really amazing! To withstand Chu Mo’s strike head-on!"
"Yeah! It seems we’ve underestimated him!"
"Looking at things now, Junior Brother is multitalented, eloquent, and even his strength is formidable. He’s my new idol!"
Ma Jiajia’s half-joking words were overheard by Chu Mo, who was in the middle of the fight.
He nearly fainted with anger.
"Brat! Go to hell!"
Being blocked by Qin Hao once was already an insult.
But hearing his beloved praise Qin Hao was an even greater insult.
Infuriated, Chu Mo was driven to murder, and a storm of Spiritual Qi erupted around him.
"Cackle!"
The storm approached, causing the Spiritual Qi around Qin Hao to create high-pitched screeches.
"You brat! This Great Cutting Technique of mine is enough to annihilate a person’s soul! Now, do you know the consequences of offending me?"
As Chu Mo spoke angrily, he glanced at Qin Hao, only to be taken aback.
Qin Hao showed no sign of the fear he had imagined.
On the contrary, his expression was calm, not even blinking.
"Senior Brother Chu, after all these years, is this the best you can do?"
With that, he gracefully pointed a finger.
Buzz!
Like a laser beam, a green light shot from his fingertip.
The light seemed capable of piercing through all things.
Under the impact of the green light, the storm in front of Chu Mo completely dissipated.
And his shoulder was directly pierced by the green light!
Rip!
The impact of the green light knocked Chu Mo back at high speed, eventually crashing into a tree, stopping him.
Crack... snap!
The tree, upon impact, showed signs of breaking. This illustrates how terrifying the green light’s impact was!
Poof! Chu Mo, having collided with the tree, collapsed limply and finally couldn’t hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The blood sprayed and spattered.
All around, silence.
Every fellow disciple was dumbfounded.
Completely stunned.
Chu Mo, actually lost?
How is this possible!
The first to come to was Wu Xiang, patting his chest in shock, "When Senior Brother Chu used the Great Cutting Technique earlier, I thought Junior Brother Qin was done for! Who knew the tables would turn?"
Feng Ziyun quickly realized, "While Second Junior Brother’s strength may not rank on the Bright Monument, it is certainly among the top tier of the Inner Sect, and yet, he lost to Junior Brother Qin? Then what does that say about Junior Brother’s strength?"
Wang Lianhua, her beautiful eyes full of surprise, said, "I’m afraid it far exceeds you and me."
