Furthermore, the Cleansing Marrow Scripture was something he had to purchase. There was no difference buying it sooner or later.
Once again, after undergoing marrow cleansing, his physique, speed, and strength were all enhanced.
If there had to be a comparison, his current strength was more than five times that of an ordinary person.
A robust adult could lift weights of one hundred kilograms, whereas he had now reached a capacity of over five hundred kilograms—that’s the strength of a thousand catties.
In ancient times, the Overlord Xiang Yu could lift a thousand-catty cauldron, and now he was almost at the same level.
Chu Feng charged forward. His speed was incredibly fast, and his fists were even faster.
In Chu Hao’s eyes, Chu Feng’s speed was like a snail’s. This was a matter of perception; his consciousness had also reached a high level.
With a slight sidestep, he easily dodged the punch.
Chu Feng was astonished. He pressed his advantage, throwing a sidekick that carried a strong gust of wind.
Chu Hao slowly raised his hand and caught the sweeping leg. It was fixed there in mid-air, completely immobile.
Chu Feng was shocked. He was acutely aware of the power behind that kick—it could definitely shatter a stone slab, but the other party caught it with ease?
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, gaining 60 Pretentiousness Points."
Outside the training room, countless people screamed, especially the girls, "Ah!!... So cool, oh my God."
"SSS!! He actually caught it, without any suspense."
Chu Hao looked at Chu Feng, who was already sweating profusely from his forehead, and said indifferently, "My turn."
Chu Feng hurriedly said, "We were just joking, don’t... don’t take it seriously."
This guy, he was already backing down before it even began.
To think you were so arrogant and domineering before, what a disappointment.
Chu Hao said seriously, "I said it before, two moves and I lose."
Chu Feng was desperate and whispered, "Please... be gentle."
Heh heh, that depends on this Taoist Master’s mood.
He struck swiftly. With a palm thrust carrying a strong wind, it was simply unstoppable.
A mouthful of blood spewed out. Chu Feng was thrown seven or eight meters away, slamming harshly against the training room’s glass, breaking it and passing out on the spot.
This was like a father hitting his son, completely predictable.
Chu Hao turned and left with the bearing of a Grandmaster, as if he had just dealt with a tiny shrimp, the air of an expert all around.
"DING... Host has performed an impressive show-off, gaining 120 Pretentiousness Points."
This was Brother Hao, beating someone up and still managing to pull it off so satisfyingly! 120 Pretentiousness Points, simply freaking awesome!
Old Yuan gaped, and it took him a while to say, "Hurry... Hurry and save the man."
It was getting late, and Chu Hao also left the Seventh District. His role as an instructor was now established. He would come back to give guidance when he had time.
The crowd also escorted Chu Hao away. Their awe for him in the Seventh District had climbed to a new level.
After leaving the Seventh District, Chu Hao’s phone rang.
It was Yi Qinglian’s call. He quickly answered, "Wifey, are you missing me?"
However, it wasn’t Yi Qinglian’s voice on the line. An icy female voice said, "You must be Chu Hao! Yi Qinglian is in my hands. I’m waiting for you at the villa."
After saying that, she hung up.
Damn! Has something happened?
Chu Hao’s face darkened. Who dared touch Yi Qinglian? Were Guihu and Li Tangguo’s bodyguards all vegetarians?
In the apartment villa, Yi Qinglian was held by Lin Xinyue, who covered her mouth.
Lin Xinyue wickedly said, "Qinglian, yours have gotten bigger again."
As she spoke, her two hands cupped Yi Qinglian’s chest, revealing mischievous little fangs.
Yi Qinglian rolled her eyes at Lin Xinyue, shook off her hands, and, turning to Tang Mo, complained, "Sister Mo, why are you doing this? If Chu Hao finds out, he’ll be so worried."
Flicking her hair, Tang Mo revealed a delicate and beautiful face. She said, "Just testing the kid. I heard Li Tangguo gave him high marks! When he comes in later, you need to play along."
Pouting angrily, Yi Qinglian said, "I won’t."
Tang Mo sashayed over with a seductive sway of her hips, looking every inch the big sister. She lightly flicked Yi Qinglian’s forehead and teased, "You little minx, you’re not even married off yet, and you’re already so worried about that kid?"
Yi Qinglian’s face turned red as she protested, "That’s not true."
Tang Mo said, "Alright, if you want to try dating him, he must get past me first."
Yi Qinglian knew Tang Mo’s strength very well. Despite Tang Mo’s gorgeous, goddess-like appearance, her true abilities could handle someone like Guihu, a mere bodyguard, within two moves.
Tang Mo tempted, "Don’t you want to see how much the kid cares for you?"
In the end, Yi Qinglian compromised. She really did want to see.
Chu Hao arrived, his heart sinking with frustration. Why would anyone kidnap Yi Qinglian?
So, he had Sadako phase through the wall to take a look. She saw three girls playing and roughhousing—no sign of a kidnapping. He immediately knew he had been tricked.
Chu Hao said, "Damn! You’ve got some nerve. Let’s see how Brother Hao deals with you."
Chu Hao decided to make their fake scenario terrifyingly real, just to see how they’d handle it.
As the three girls were messing around, they waited quite a while, but Chu Hao hadn’t shown up. Tang Mo scoffed, "I don’t think he’s coming. Not a shred of manliness in him, probably ran off."
Yi Qinglian also felt a bit disappointed, but still said, "It’s not like that."
Tang Mo snapped, "You silly girl, he just removed that thing from your back, right? Is there any need to defend him so much?"
Yi Qinglian sighed. Tang Mo didn’t know about her physical condition.
Just then, a scream came from the bathroom—Lin Xinyue’s. The other two rushed over in shock.
Lin Xinyue’s little face was deathly pale as she cried, "A Ghost... a Ghost, there’s a Ghost!"
Yi Qinglian grew nervous as well.
Tang Mo was calm; she had always been brave. She said, "Lin Xinyue, you’re just scaring yourself, right? Are there even such things as ghosts in this world?"
As she spoke, she opened the bathroom door, only to freeze on the spot.
There, in front of perpetuatedbathroom mirror, floated a woman in white, her hair disheveled, revealing a pair of bloodred pupils, staring intently at the three girls.
"Ah!!" Tang Mo turned pale with fright, slamming the door shut, her chest heaving wildly.
Yi Qinglian and Lin Xinyue trembled, their legs starting to shake.
The lights in the villa went out at once.
The three screamed, hugging each other, their faces white as sheets.
Droplets of blood fell on the faces of the three girls. Looking up, they saw a figure clinging to the ceiling. Her head was twisted 180 degrees, her face ghastly white, and her bulging eyes stared straight at them.
Lin Xinyue passed out from sheer terror.
Tang Mo and Yi Qinglian shook uncontrollably, huddling close to each other.
Tang Mo’s lips quivered. She suddenly realized that against such an eerie thing, all her martial prowess was useless, making her no different from an ordinary person.
Moreover, such things were particularly more frightening to girls.
Yi Qinglian hugged the trembling Tang Mo, trying to be strong. "Sister Mo, it’s okay. Chu Hao will come to save us."
Sure enough, the door was kicked open and a towering figure appeared. Tang Mo and Yi Qinglian were startled, then heard the man shout, "Vile creature! This Taoist Master is here! Cease your harm!"
The Female Ghost turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished. The lights in the villa finally returned to normal.
