Chapter 737: Lurking
“Actually…” Seeing the look of shock on her father’s face, Huang Rong suddenly felt a strange sensation. Since she had successfully drawn their attention, she cleared her throat and added in a low voice, “That person had previously done something that consumed an enormous amount of inner strength. Out of ten parts, less than one remained.”
Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong exchanged glances, momentarily stunned, before shaking their heads in unison. “Impossible!”
What kind of joke was this? If someone had only a tenth of their strength left yet could withstand over a dozen moves from the Eastern Heretic without losing and still evade the Old Imp, just how terrifying would they be at full power?
Huang Rong was quite satisfied with their reaction and smiled slyly. “Believe it or not, it’s the truth.”
“Rong’er, Rong’er, tell me quickly—who is he?” Compared to the composed Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong was far less patient. He fidgeted anxiously, pressing her for an answer.
“Didn’t I already say? I don’t know who he is,” Huang Rong replied hurriedly.
“If you don’t know who he is, then how do you know he only has a tenth of his strength left?” Zhou Botong, though naive about worldly matters, was no fool—he immediately seized on the key issue.
“Uh…” Huang Rong was momentarily speechless. After a long pause, she finally found an excuse. “He said so himself.”
“I don’t believe it! No way!” The Old Imp waved his hands vigorously. “He’s definitely bragging!”
