Chapter 411: Chapter 411

If becoming a Grandmaster was easy, Huaya wouldn't have so few of them. In all of Huadu, with tens of millions of people, the number of Grandmaster Level characters can be counted on one's fingers!

That's the pride of being a Grandmaster Level Expert!

A step further from the peak, and one's strength undergoes a massive transformation.

But that very step requires the accumulation of countless years before a change in quantity can lead to a qualitative change!

Qian Hong laughed and said, "Xu Xiao You is unlike ordinary people. We were considered prodigies of our generation too, otherwise we couldn't have reached where we are today. But Xu Xiao You is clearly more exceptional than we were back in the day. This is the case of the new waves of the Yangtze River driving on those ahead..."

Sun Zai'an added gloomily, "with the ones ahead dying on the beach."

Xu Hao couldn't help but be speechless. Elder Qian Zai'an was truly an interesting person. He spoke whatever came to his mind, daring to make fun of himself. One could say he was someone who followed his true nature.

Wu Kui snorted coldly, "No matter how talented a person is, they must not die young to be considered successful. Unfortunately, many geniuses perished too soon! The people we competed with back in the day... there were many, and were we all the best? Maybe not! But now, only we have succeeded, allowing our clans to rise or be revived. Being a Half step Grandmaster isn't anything special. Without reaching the Grandmaster Level, it's all just an illusion!"

Sun Zai'an said quietly, "Young Master Xu, look, some of the older guys are unhappy seeing someone as young as you with such strength."

Note: Check * for any corrections.

Xu Hao smiled lightly and replied, "If they're unhappy with me, then they should defeat me."

Sun Zai'an gazed at Wu Kui and continued taunting, "Old Wu not dead yet, can you lower your pride and fight a match with Young Master Xu?"

Without waiting for Wu Kui to respond, he continued to speak to himself, "I think it's better not to fight. Otherwise, if you happen to lose, how embarrassing would that be!"

Xu Hao immediately looked at Wu Kui. This was a genuine Grandmaster Level Expert, and moreover, he was at the middle stage of Grandmaster level, having immersed himself in the Grandmaster realm for at least twenty years. If he had a sparring session with such a powerhouse, it would be extremely beneficial for Xu Hao's improvement in real combat experience.

Although Xu Hao had just entered the Grandmaster realm, those at the Early Stage Grandmaster level were no longer a match for him. Therefore, as he improved his cultivation of Qi Force, he also needed Grandmaster Level Experts to spar with him.

However, Grandmaster Level Experts were mostly quite old and seldom engaged in combat because once they did, it would consume their Qi Force. Consuming too much could affect their lifespan to a certain extent. Even though the impact was small, they were all elderly, and who would joke with their own life?

So, when Sun Zai'an actually goaded Wu Kui into fighting with him, Xu Hao was not only unafraid but full of fighting spirit. He even suspected that Old Master Sun definitely knew that he had become a Grandmaster Level Expert. Otherwise, he wouldn't have provoked Wu Kui . If Wu Kui failed to hold back and injured him, wouldn't Sun Zai'an be afraid of the punishment from his father's side?

Wu Kui's face turned steely, and he glared at Sun Zai'an coldly, snorting, "Old Man Sun, at your age, you're still using such low tactics of provocation? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Sun Zai'an laughed, "What's the matter? Wu Kui, are you scared?"

If Wu Kui fought, it would look like he was bullying the younger and less experienced, ruining his reputation instantly; if he did not fight, he could be branded as being cowardly by those with ulterior motives.

Thus, with just one sentence, Sun Zai'an had put Wu Kui in quite an awkward position.

At this moment, Zhou Talang spoke, "Old Man Sun, stop causing trouble on purpose. When I have time, I'll happily have a friendly exchange with Xu Xiao You."

Sun Zai'an chuckled, "Old Zhou not dead yet, are you thinking of avenging your great-granddaughter who was beaten by Young Master Xu?"

"Humph! She will seek her own revenge. I've said it's a friendly exchange, I'm certainly not going to stoop so low as to use my seniority to bully the young," Zhou Talang snorted coldly and fell silent again.

These people all had known each other for over half a century, and they knew each other's temperaments inside out.

Xu Hao gave a salute toward Zhou Talang and said, "Then I would like to thank Old Master Zhou for the honor. Whenever Old Master Zhou is in the mood to spar, I would definitely be willing to exchange a few moves with him."

At a distance, Sun Hanren shouted, "Brother Xu, just don't make Old Master Zhou cry when the time comes!"

Zhou Talang immediately became infuriated and snorted, "Old Man Sun, look at what the members of the Sun family have become under your influence, is there no sense of respect for seniors and juniors left?"

"We call this being true to our nature! Old Zhou not dead yet, you act all high and mighty every day, like some enlightened hermit. What, are you planning to show us a trick or two, perform some magic or something?" Sun Zai'an was like a live bomb, looking for an opportunity to clash with Zhou Talang.

Zhou Talang raised his eyebrows, decided not to respond, and kept quiet.

Many people had arrived one after another, but the arrival of Li Chenggong and Master Xingyi, made everyone stand up in greeting.

One was a super-rich investor from Hongkong, the other a Feng Shui Master renowned throughout Hongkong, and he himself was also a Grandmaster Level Expert.

None of those present dared to claim a higher status than these two.

However, the actions of Master Xing Yi and his companion left everyone dumbstruck!
