The people on the platform were all slightly stunned after hearing Hun Tiandi's words. None of them had expected the clan leader to say such a thing.
What did he mean by that?Was he implying they should find him a woman?
Whatever Hun Tiandi's true meaning, everyone on the platform had a flood of thoughts racing through their minds.
Gu Yuan, although momentarily surprised, quickly regained his composure and said nothing. He simply smiled and continued to watch the white-clad figure on the stage.
He wanted to see what exactly Hun Xiu was planning.Taking Hun Doulou's Extreme Wind Finger head-on? That technique had power comparable to a Heaven-rank Dou Technique!
Was he really trying to get himself killed?
Hun Tiandi also stared at Hun Xiu, who still showed no intention of resisting. He muttered in his heart:"You brat… are you really trying to die?"
Gu Xun'er didn't quite understand what "courting death" meant in this context, but her bright eyes never once strayed from her Hun Xiu-gege.
In her eyes, Hun Xiu was the best.
Amid the shocked stares of the crowd, beneath that overwhelming finger, Hun Xiu still did not resist. He simply stood there, clutching his wooden sword.
His legs were trembling, his body shaking. Kneeling seemed inevitable at this point. Yet even under such massive pressure, his expression remained calm.
"Hun Xiu, since you're so stubborn, then don't blame me for what happens next," Hun Doulou thought inwardly as she saw he still didn't intend to fight back.
Her delicate finger finally fell completely, and her face went deathly pale. The enormous phantom finger, which had been slowly descending, suddenly plunged downward at terrifying speed.
BOOM!The finger struck Hun Xiu directly, blasting through the entire platform and crashing into the ground below.
Many had already backed far away when they saw something was off—after all, even watching a spectacle required good judgment.
RUMBLE!A deafening roar echoed across the square as dust surged skyward.
"Is… Hun Xiu dead?"Hun Doulou, her face as white as a sheet, looked down at the dust-filled square and murmured.
She had clearly sensed that when her Extreme Wind Finger landed, Hun Xiu hadn't resisted at all.
He had actually relied purely on his physical body to take that terrifying blow.Was he mad?
From ancient times to now, no one had ever withstood a technique of that level with just their body.
Hun Xiu might very well be the first… and also the last.
Suddenly, Hun Doulou became aware of a terrifying possibility—what if Hun Xiu had actually died?
What would happen to her?
Even if this was technically Hun Xiu's own fault, she was still the one who delivered the blow!
Hun Xiu was hailed as the Soul Clan's greatest genius of all time, with the potential to become an Emperor. If someone like that just died like this… what would become of her?
Would she be blamed as a criminal?Would the Clan Leader forgive her?
This was his most favored son, after all.
At that thought, Hun Doulou's face turned even paler. She realized she might have made a terrible mistake.
Gulping nervously, she instinctively and sneakily glanced at Hun Tiandi in the center seat on the high platform.
When she saw the dark expression on his face, Hun Doulou instantly knew—she was done for.She might even be buried alongside Hun Xiu.
"Heh heh…"Hun Feng looked at the thick cloud of dust rising from the square and murmured,"Hun Xiu, you should be dead now, right?"
Of course, Hun Feng didn't dare say that aloud. He understood very well how much Hun Tiandi valued Hun Xiu.And he knew just how monstrous Hun Xiu was.
If he was truly dead, that would be one thing. But if Hun Xiu wasn't dead and he started gloating too soon, he'd only end up humiliating himself.
At this moment, everyone held their breath, eyes fixed on the dense cloud of dust in the square.
They wanted to see—how was the man said to have the potential to become an Emperor?Was he… dead?
They had all seen it clearly: Hun Xiu had not resisted at all. He had completely taken the hit head-on.
Hun Tiandi's face was extremely unsightly at this moment. He genuinely hadn't expected Hun Xiu to go through with it.
To take Extreme Wind Finger without resisting—if that wasn't courting death, what was?
Right now, he just wanted to know:Had that little brat actually died?
If he really was dead, then… well, he'd just have to work a little harder at night.After all, with a son who had a super divine bloodline, who would still care about just a divine one?
Whoosh—
Hun Tiandi waved his hand, and the power of heaven and earth transformed into an invisible gust that instantly dispersed the dust covering the square.
In the middle of the square…
A massive crater had formed.
And in that crater stood a white-clad figure.
He was still holding his wooden sword. His snow-white robes were covered in dust and tattered beyond repair.
His hair crown had fallen off, his long black hair was a dusty mess, and even his once-handsome face was dirt-streaked.Blood traced from the corner of his mouth, and his complexion had turned deathly pale.
Hun Xiu was in a wretched state. That ethereal "fallen immortal" aura from before was now completely gone.To everyone watching…
Only one word came to mind: "Beggar."
They were all stunned beyond belief.When they saw Hun Xiu standing in the crater, every pair of eyes widened.
They were all certain—Hun Xiu hadn't resisted. He had taken Extreme Wind Fingerpurely with his physical body.And he was still alive.
This… this was shocking beyond words.
How terrifying was his body to withstand such a blow?Truly world-shaking.
Hun Tiandi looked at Hun Xiu standing in the crater, and a small smile played at the corner of his lips.
He murmured in his heart:"I thought I'd have to start working hard again at night, but it turns out I don't have to."
"What a powerful physique. He withstood a Heaven-rank-tier blow executed by a Dou King using just his body. As expected of my Hun Xiu. He never does anything he isn't confident in. That's my blood."
Gu Yuan also nodded subtly and thought,"What a monster. That body… truly worthy of my investment. Didn't embarrass me at all."
The other elders of the Soul Clan were still overwhelmed by Hun Xiu's physical strength.This was without a doubt the Soul Clan's greatest genius of all time, bearer of the super divine bloodline, and someone with the potential to become an Emperor.
With Hun Xiu, the Soul Clan would rise.
At this point, they had nearly all silently acknowledged Hun Xiu as the Young Master of the Soul Clan.
Who else could it be?If not him, then who?
