Chapter 784: Taking advantage during the chaos
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It was a night of affection.
The next day, Chen Yiran left. Her leaving didn’t bring any fluctuation to the Su family. However, when Su Hao suggested that he’s going to leave the family that night, it caused an uproar.
“No, absolutely not!”
The big elder was the first one who hopped about, “You just became the Clan Head for a few months, yet you already wish to leave our family?! No, absolutely not! This daddy disagrees 100%!”
Su Hao wiped off his sweat, “It’s not like I am cutting off ties with the Su family. I am just leaving...”
“No.” The big elder fumed in anger, “What can you do with your current strength? Currently, the world is in chaos. Aren’t you courting death by leaving? If you’re to meet a world esper, just one slap and you’re dead! Do you understand?”
“...” Su Hao blinked his eyes for a second.
A world esper...
WTF, since when did world espers become like Chinese cabbage?
Whoever meets a world esper must die? If one is to evaluate how chaotic this world is based on the strength of a world esper, then everyone will die soon.
“Humph, no matter what, I don’t agree.”
The big elder was well aware that he was shoving false arguments down Su Hao’s throat and quickly thought of something else, “Others aren’t like you, someone who easily angers others. For an average guy, a world esper wouldn’t care about him, but you... how many tails of world espers have you step on?”
“Uh.” Su Hao became speechless.
Everyone nodded in agreement. During his time in Zhanzheng College and the Tian family’s invasion, Su Hao had already provoked numerous world espers! And world espers aren’t someone others would be able to see even if they wished to! Plus, the Su family just regained their unity, everything is progressing well, why must he leave? Everyone would obviously reject Su Hao’s request.
“It’s alright if you all don’t want me to leave.” Su Hao wasn’t angry, “But I have a condition.”
“Say what you want.”
Everyone felt relieved. As long as he doesn’t leave, anything is fine.
“I want to cultivate.” Su Hao raised a condition which any ordinary person would request, and it’s a condition that any force will agree to, but this condition made the big elder’s face turned green instantly.
Damn you!
Cultivate...
Su Hao’s cultivation, can any ordinary people imagine it?
“Look.” Su Hao was very satisfied with the big elder’s reaction, “This is the era of origin ability. I can’t be a canary, being protected by the Su family forever, right?”
“Even if I can accept it, what about the next generation of disciples?”
“During a battle, they would fight a bloody battle, but I hide within our Su family? Even if I don’t leave now, problems will arise sooner or later.”
Everyone became silent.
The problem mentioned by Su Hao seemed illusory but very realistic.
For other families, their Clan Head is the strongest. Su Hao’s current strength isn’t bad as he could deal with domain espers. However, if he doesn’t cultivate, he will no longer be able to improve! In the era of origin ability, where a new era is approaching, everyone is making rapid progress. As the Clan Head, can Su Hao stay where he is?
And if he’s to cultivate...
Thinking of the situation during his last cultivation, everyone’s face turned uglier.
It’s not that they don’t allow Su Hao to cultivate, but even if they pour all resources into Su Hao, will the remaining resources guarantee his breakthrough?
After becoming a domain esper, will Su Hao no longer need to cultivate?
If he wants to cultivate, how should he deal with the resources?
Thus, this problem turns into a dilemma.
Su Hao wanted to leave the family precisely because their family couldn’t afford the resources that he needs to cultivate! The truth of Su Hoa’s departure made them speechless. If this truth is known to everyone, it would sound ridiculous. Not able to provide resources? Any family would find this funny upon hearing it.
However, those who had witnesses Su Hao cultivate would know...
That reality is cruel. Before Su Hao, they would have never known that there is actually such a berserk cultivation method.
“This...”
Everyone didn’t know what to say.
The helpless big elder went to Su Zhengwen and shouted at him to come over. Poor Su Zhengwen, if he’s in any other family, which world esper won’t be in closed cultivation, cutting off ties from reality? Yet Su Zhengwen always got dragged around by his old man like a pet at home.
However, Su Zhengwen didn’t get angry.
Walking here leisurely, he looked at Su Hao, “You want to leave?”
“En.” Su Hao nodded.
“You can give it a try first.” Su Zhengwen smiled indifferently.
“Huh?” Su Hao was caught off guard by this reply.
Su Zhengwen pointed outside the residence, “Leaving our Su family means you will no longer be under the protection of the Su family. You just need to prove that you can survive safely. After all, you’re the Clan Head. All the elders are worried about your safety.”
“Now?” Su Hao stood up.
“Now!” Su Zhengwen laughed, “One day, a round trip. You use half a day to wander around and the other half to return here. As long as you come back safe and sound, if you want to leave our Su family, with me here, no one can stop you! You can consider this as a test, a self-defense test. If you fail...”
“Then, you have to stay in our Su family forever.”
“Really?” Su Hao’s eyes shone.
“Of course.” Su Zhengwen replied indifferently.
“Alright, I will bet.” Su Hao didn’t show any signs of hesitation.
“Then, you start now.” Su Zhengwen nodded, “However, I would like to remind you that around our residence, I’m afraid there are quite a number of spies from powerful forces. You better be careful.”
“En, many thanks.” Su Hao got up and left.
Since he made such a request, he’s already well prepared.
Isn’t it just to stay safe for a day?
The others might not know, but Su Zhengwen understood that with the existence of that silver needle, no one could stop him! It seems that Su Zhengwen is creating an opportunity for Su Hao.
“Zhengwen.” The big elder was anxious, “You prodigal doll, what if Su Hao’s injured?”
“Prodigal doll...” Su Zhengwen wanted to cry. As for the other elders, they just bowed their heads in silence, pretending like they didn’t hear it.
“How could we not allow him to go?” Su Zhengwen smiled bitterly, “Plus, I will secretly protect him.”
“Oh, then that should be fine.” The big elder sighed in relief before speaking in a complaining tone, “If a world esper is to appear near our Su family, that would be great. When Su Hao goes out, he will be in instant danger. Then you can bring him back, and Su Hao will stay here forever.”
“En, that’s the best.” The big elder hoped for this outcome.
Those around were covered in cold sweat. Do you think a world esper is really like grass growing by the roadside?
Forget about other things, which world esper isn’t a precious character? Who will dare to wander outside the Su family residence and act as a spy? Su Zhengwen was already speechless. What’s with this hoping to stumble upon a world esper? His old man didn’t even consider the danger?
Whose father is this old man?
Su Zhengwen bitterly smiled.
At noon that day, Su Hao cleaned up and left the Su family. Changing into an ordinary disciple’s uniform, he left openly.
After all, this is a test.
What strength does the current Su Hao have?
Peak professional realm!
Pretending to be an ordinary disciple, those who were responsible for spying wouldn’t reveal their identity just to intercept such a disciple. Su Hao walked leisurely for a long time with no dangerous encounters before returning to the residence without breaking a sweat.
However, no one would have thought that at this moment.
Something happened.
Swish!
A light ray suddenly flashed.
A cold, terrifying chill covered Su Hao. Su Hao’s monstrous physical fitness allowed him to evade instantly.
Boom!
A mountain peak was sliced off.
“Who?” Su Hao had goosebumps all over his body.
This power...
“Huh?”
With a soft exclaim, a figure revealed himself leisurely. His eyes revealed a strange light. Obviously, he didn’t imagine that with Su Hao’s strength, he could actually avoid the attack!
“Interesting.” That man’s eyes revealed a playful look, “The information stated that you’re a cripple. Seems that is a false report. You can escape my Shadow Beheader, so you should at least be in the domain realm. Never would I have thought that you can survive. Not only can you escape from the Tian family, you can actually return to your peak state.”
Tian family...
That power just now...
Su Hao soon had a conclusion, “You’re not from the Tian family. With the strength of a peak domain realm, even in the Tian family, you would have quite a good position. Who are you exactly?”
“Hehe, indeed you’re worthy of your fame, Su Hao.” That man smirked, “I am indeed not from the Tian family. As for which force I am from, you don’t have to know. All you need to know is that the one who caused your death is the Tian family.”
“Caused my death...” Su Hao’s pupil shrunk.
He understood.
No wonder he would stumble upon this guy nearby to the Su family!
Not to mention the Tian family, no matter which top ten family, anyone who dares to approach this close to the Su family’s area will be regarded as a provocation. Even if the Su family is to kill the foe directly, no one can say anything.
Thus, the area nearby to the Su family’s residence is the safest.
There may be some spies, but other strong espers will not and won’t dare to come here. Now, there was such a person hiding here and pretending to be from the Tian family...
“You want to provoke a battle between our Su family and the Tian family?” Su Hao shouted coldly.
“Hahahaha, don’t you think that when the Su family and Tian family have a war that only we have a chance?” That man laughed out loud, looking at Su Hao, “As long as you, the Clan Head of the Su family dies, I will leave some hints, leading to the Tian family. When that time comes, even if you all don’t want to fight, you’re left with no other choice.”
Idiot.
Su Hao looked at him with a grin.
Under a normal situation, what he did was right. However, he didn’t know that Su Hao is here for a test! Plus, it’s via the communication device, being projected live in front of several of the Su family’s elders!
The moment this guy showed himself, his conspiracy had already been completely exposed!
“F*ck you!” The big elder smirked, “Just a little domain esper, you actually dare to scheme against our top ten families. We have indeed look down on these guys’ guts.”
“These people actually plan to take advantage of someone’s bad times. Their guts are too huge!”
“What I am more curious about is with the existence of world espers in the top ten families, on what qualifications do they have to take advantage?”
“Let’s continue watching.” The big elder said in a cold voice.
They were also eager to know this so-called small family, what do they actually plan to do? Unfortunately, before that man added anything, he actually attacked.
“Suppression!”
