The Human Emperor (1-200)

C124: Change in the Yuzhen Palace!

Knowing how harsh his conditions were, the gray-robed middle-aged man didn’t carry too much hope for the youngster before him.

He didn’t expect that this young man would agree to his conditions.

“Madness! What in the world is this fellow thinking? How can he agree to such terms?”

Does he have too much money?”

“Even so, he shouldn’t waste money on trash like him!”

“Furthermore, does he even know that fellow’s background?”

…

The mercenaries behind Wang Chong and the others found this sight inconceivable. A hundred gold taels was sufficient for one to hire an expert, yet this youngster chose to spend five thousand gold taels on this unreliable man.

More importantly, he didn’t even know the other party’s background!

Such actions were totally incomprehensible!

“So, what is your decision?”

Wang Chong smiled. Throughout the entire conversation, his face remained composed, as though the requests of the other party were insignificant.

The gray-robed middle-aged man stared at Wang Chong in astonishment. For the first time, he found himself unable to see through the young man before him.

Just when Wang Chong was waiting for the other party’s reply, a voice suddenly sounded.

“If you wish to take this much money, you need the capability for it. Young master, I’ll test him for you! ——”

A sonic boom burst in the air, and a powerful fist shot out from beside Wang Chong. Carrying rampaging wind alongside it, it flew straight for the gray-robed middle-aged man.

There was even vague white ripples in the surroundings of the fist. This was a mark of an Origin Energy Tier 9 expert, ‘Ripple Rings’.

“Shen Hai, don’t! ——”

Wang Chong’s face changed and he immediately moved to stop Shen Hai, but it was already too late. A cold harrumph sounded by his ear, and at the next moment, Shen Hai fist abruptly came to a stop several cun before the gray-robed middle-aged man, as if it had struck a wall.

(~10cm)

“Hmph! Arrogant fool! ——”

In the blink of an eye, a composed but slightly displeased voice sounded in everyone’s ears. In the next moment, a powerful aura burst forth as though a storm from the seemingly unimpressive gray-robed middle-aged man.

Hong long!

An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and massive winds generated within the teahouse, causing everyone’s robes to flutter wildly. At the center of this ravaging wind, Shen Hai was knocked back like a rubber ball by a sudden burst of strength. Boom, he knocked into the wall on the other end of the room.

“Deal!”

The wind slowly died down, and as though a sharp sword drawn from a sheathe, the gray-robed middle-aged man slowly stood up from his seat. At the opposite end, around ten zhang away, Shen Hai slowly stood up as well. Surprisingly, he was completely unharmed.

In this instant, everyone seemed to have went dumb. Standing beside Wang Chong, Meng Long stared at the sight with a dumbfounded expression.

Even though ‘Home of the Adventurers’ was a teahouse for hiring martial artists, it was one of the lower tiered ones.
