Chapter 1042: Chapter 1049: An Opponent in One Exchange (Part 1)
Even within the Secret Realm, reaching the Innate level is an incredibly difficult feat.
Otherwise, even a family as wealthy as the Xiong family wouldnât be facing their current predicament.
Take this young man in front of us, heâs probably not even twenty yet.
A twenty-year-old Innate?
Are you joking?
For hundreds of years, this Secret Realm has never heard of anyone under twenty reaching the Innate Realm.
The youngest is usually over forty.
After all, for them, reaching the Soldier King Realm is easy, but to achieve Innate, it requires crossing a barrier that even finding one person out of a hundred is difficult, and it demands a very long accumulation of time.
So for this young man not yet twenty, he lacks age and the accumulation of time.
But why does the old manâs expression look like this?
He clearly appears to be submitting.
They have followed the old man for many years yet have never seen this.
Even when facing other Innates, he wasnât so submissive.
Could this person be a core disciple of the Hong family?
In their minds, only someone from the Hong family could make the old man submit.
After all, the Hong family dominates the Secret Realm.
All families are subject to their constraints and must obey them to a certain degree.
Just when everyone thought Lin Xi would agree with the old man, he shook his head decisively and said, "No!"
Peng Bo and the others, "..."
Their minds were now a bit muddled, in a confused and dazed state.
On the old manâs side, the four of them, "..."
In their eyes, even if youâre from the Hong family, you canât be that arrogant!
They know the old man is Innate!
Once you reach Innate, you leave the ordinary, as if youâre no longer in the same level or world as them.
For such people, even with deep backgrounds, they hold deep reverence.
After all, the destructive power of Innate is immense, and even for a mid-stage Innate powered person to kill an early-stage Innate, itâs not an easy task.
Whatâs more surprising is that the old man showed no anger and instead submitted: "Young brother, what can we do to make you satisfied?"
"As long as it doesnât violate principles, Iâm willing to agree to you!"
He could see the amazement and incredulity of the crowd, but his bitterness could only be understood by himself.
Because he didnât see how the young man suddenly grabbed his hand.
It means the speed was too fast.
More crucially, when he wanted to shake Lin Xiâs hand off, he tried various ways or used full strength, but none worked.
The hand holding him didnât budge an inch.
And as time passed, he clearly felt the grip on his wrist slowly strengthening.
Now, his tightly held wrist was close to breaking with pain.
"Is he a freak?" He couldnât help but curse inwardly, although he hadnât cursed for years.
Without hesitation, Lin Xi said, "I will be satisfied if you all die!"
The old man, "..."
His four companions, "..."
At that moment, if it werenât for the warning in the old manâs eyes, they would have attacked Lin Xi.
As for Peng Bo, Xiong Haitao, Cui Hua, the three of them completely couldnât comprehend what was happening.
"Is our boss really that awesome, terrifying even the old man?"
Honestly, they had this thought but found it impossible.
The old man paused for a long while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Donât push us too far, otherwise itâs not certain who will die!"
"Besides, weâre all Innate powered, even if youâre powerful, you canât win by much, let alone capture me!"
"If you donât capture me, youâll see the consequences!"
He tried being diplomatic and played tough.
"You mean things will get deadlocked?" Lin Xi asked back.
The old man thought for a moment, nodded, and added, "Once we start fighting, my four men here could knock out those three behind you in less than a minute!"
"Believe me, this isnât difficult!"
Peng Boâs group and the other four didnât hear their words clearly afterward.
Rather, they heard that the boss/young man is Innate?
Oh my God!
This is too unbelievable!
They also thought the old man made sense; since he submitted, itâs reasonable to temporarily reconcile.
If really fighting broke out, unless the boss immediately defeats the old man and supports them, they might survive.
If the boss canât free himself immediately, they would definitely face tragedy.
After all, the opponents were all King of Soldiers, none of them being early-stage soldiers.
They were senior Special Forces, theyâd certainly get annihilated!
But they said nothing, leaving everything to the bossâs decision.
They knew, no matter what, the boss wouldnât just watch them getting killed.
Next moment, they heard Lin Xi saying, "Youâre right, actually these three brothers wouldnât take even thirty seconds from you guys!"
Hearing this, Peng Boâs group flushed! It seemed the boss would let go because of them.
Sigh, blaming their weak strength and dragging others down, they felt deeply guilty.
"Still, this doesnât stop me from killing you!" As he finished, he abruptly released the grip on the old manâs wrist.
And almost instantly, he lifted his right foot and kicked toward the old manâs abdomen.
The old man was an Innate powered person, even among innates a strong one, not fearing a fully charged Xiong Tu.
"Looking for death!" the old man retorted.
He had lowered his head so much, yet this young man didnât know better, thinking he really feared him?
The primary reason was they needed to find that thing.
Whatever the cost, it was worth it to get that thing.
"Kill them!" he dodged Lin Xiâs kick while ordering.
At this point, Peng Boâs trio werenât scared of death, since their first day at Jiangnan University, theyâd even beaten Xu Hongâs brother, showing their character and guts.
But courage and hatred they had, yet strength couldnât support.
So as soon as they fought, the trio got severely injured, completely no match for King of Soldiers.
"Iâm gonna die here?" they thought but also figured the boss would avenge them, gradually feeling less upset.
After all, they were only Special Forces, while the others were Innate, exchanging lives was profitable.
"Bang!"
A loud sound interrupted them, interrupting the old manâs four men too.
Both sides instinctively stopped, looking towards the sudden sound, it was too loud.
"Uh..."
Seeing this, they froze instantly, their expressions were even more dramatic than discovering Lin Xiâs Innate, far exceeding it.
