“I need a subordinate in Wanhua City, and I think you’re a good fit.”
Qin Han Chu smiled at Master Yang.
Master Yang’s smile froze instantly, and his eyes turned cold.
“I can work for you, but you have to tell me why.”
“Either your background is one I can’t afford to provoke, or you’re stronger than me.”
Master Yang was also wary of Qin Han Chu’s background.
To become an Elemental Warrior at such a young age, he believed Qin Han Chu’s background must be extraordinary.
In this world, reaching Elemental Warrior status by thirty was a clear indication of a formidable backing.
“I don’t want to say,” Qin Han Chu replied.
“Since you don’t want to say, then defeat me with your strength.” As an Elemental Warrior himself, Master Yang wouldn’t submit just because of Qin Han Chu’s words.
Qin Han Chu nodded. “Fine, then I’ll make you submit with strength.”
Upon hearing this, Master Yang drew his weapon.
Qin Han Chu drew his short blade, then drew it again.
Seeing the two Elemental Warriors about to clash, Zhang Qiangjun quickly retreated to a safe distance.
He was not qualified to participate in this battle.
For him, whoever won this fight would be his master.
Qin Han Chu wasted no more words. He suddenly attacked, sending a chilling blade energy from his short blade.
Master Yang immediately responded.
Under Qin Han Chu’s gaze, a golden blade energy met his.
With a boom, their blade energies collided.
This strike was merely a probing attack from both sides.
Qin Han Chu had only used fifty percent of his strength, while Master Yang had used seventy.
“You are no match for me,” Qin Han Chu declared, then unleashed his full power.
Master Yang, unwilling to concede easily, engaged Qin Han Chu in battle.
He had initially thought Qin Han Chu was all talk, but after their actual engagement, he finally realized Qin Han Chu wasn’t bluffing.
Qin Han Chu’s elemental power was clearly far superior to his.
“You’ve reached the level of Battle King!”
After exchanging more than ten blows, Master Yang retreated from the fray in shock.
He couldn’t believe that Qin Han Chu had already attained the level of an Elemental Battle King.
Qin Han Chu’s strength further deepened Master Yang’s apprehension about his background.
Seeing Master Yang cease fighting, Qin Han Chu smiled. “What? Not fighting anymore?”
“I am no match for you. I am willing to obey your command.” Master Yang’s eyes flickered as he made his decision.
In terms of strength, he was not Qin Han Chu’s equal.
Even if they continued fighting, he would still lose.
More importantly, he dared not provoke the power behind Qin Han Chu.
To allow a young man to reach the level of Elemental Warrior could only be achieved by a force led by an Elemental Battle Saint.
As an Elemental Warrior, Master Yang dared not oppose such a powerful figure.
“You are quite sensible,” Qin Han Chu said, sheathing his short blade.
“What are your orders, my lord?”
Master Yang understood the principle of strength ruling supreme.
Having decided to submit, he naturally adopted a humble posture.
“In Wanhua City, find someone named Qin Feng. This is his portrait.”
As he spoke, Qin Han Chu projected Qin Feng’s image.
“Qiangjun, did you hear that? Do as he says!” Master Yang said, looking towards Zhang Qiangjun who was not far away.
Zhang Qiangjun hurriedly and respectfully replied, “Yes, I will arrange for people to search for this person as soon as I return.”
The three exchanged contact information and then returned to Wanhua City.
A few days later, Qin Han Chu returned to Wanliu City with Chu Qiao’s convoy.
Both Wanliu City and Wanhua City had their own people searching for Qin Feng, and the scope of the search would now be further expanded.
Qin Han Chu, however, was unaware that his search for Qin Feng had attracted the attention of a certain faction.
In a luxurious villa in Wanhua City, an old man was fishing in his garden.
At that moment, a middle-aged man approached.
“Venerable, someone is secretly investigating Qin Feng’s whereabouts,” the middle-aged man said respectfully.
“Who is it?” the old man asked calmly.
“An Elemental Warrior named Yang is having someone search for him.”
“Based on my deductions, he is likely working for someone else.”
The old man was silent for a moment, then said, “Go and meet this person. I want to know who is looking for Qin Feng!”
An hour later, the middle-aged man arrived at Master Yang’s residence.
“Who are you?” Master Yang’s young girlfriend asked curiously, seeing the stranger at the door.
The middle-aged man did not answer and simply pushed the woman aside.
“What do you want? Do you know whose house this is?”
The woman, pushed aside, roared angrily.
Master Yang heard this and knew something was wrong.
Upon seeing the visitors, Master Yang turned ashen and hastily bowed. “Black Tiger Battle King!”
“It’s good that you recognize me.” The middle-aged man was indeed an Elemental Warrior at the Battle King level, and he was quite famous in Wanhua City.
“Everyone in Wanhua City knows the name Black Tiger Battle King.”
“May I ask how I have offended Black Tiger Battle King?”
Master Yang asked, confused.
“Are you investigating someone named Qin Feng?” Black Tiger Battle King inquired.
Master Yang dared not lie, for he knew who Black Tiger Battle King represented.
“Yes, I was commissioned by someone to investigate this person.”
Black Tiger Battle King grunted and continued, “Who told you to do this?”
Master Yang replied awkwardly, “To be honest, Battle King, I don’t know much about this person. He is less than twenty-five years old, yet he is already a powerful Battle King, so I dared not disobey his orders and had to comply.”
“A Battle King under twenty-five?” Black Tiger Battle King’s eyes turned cold. “Where is he?”
“I don’t know for sure yet. If Black Tiger Battle King wishes to meet him, I can contact him,” Master Yang quickly said.
“Tell him that I have leads on Qin Feng and that he should come and see me,” Black Tiger Battle King stated sternly.
Master Yang immediately activated his communication watch and called Qin Han Chu.
After the call connected, Master Yang relayed the message in front of Black Tiger Battle King.
Upon learning that someone knew Qin Feng’s whereabouts, Qin Han Chu was delighted.
Although he wanted to know Qin Feng’s location quickly, Qin Han Chu did not rashly agree to meet.
Master Yang hung up and said, “He said he will only come to Wanhua City in half a month and will notify me then.”
“Alright, add my contact information and inform me when he arrives.”
With that, Black Tiger Battle King and Master Yang exchanged contact details.
In Wanliu City, Qin Han Chu remained silent.
He had a feeling that something was amiss.
At this juncture, he needed to improve his strength first.
A few days ago, he had learned many secrets from Master Yang.
There was a most direct way to increase his power.
This method was to hunt and kill demonic beasts at the Elemental realm.
Within Elemental demonic beasts was an item called an Elemental Crystal Core.
The Elemental Crystal Core was the energy core of a demonic beast. As long as one obtained an Elemental Crystal Core that matched their own affinity, they could absorb its power to strengthen themselves.
In the past few days, Qin Han Chu had been collecting information on the locations of Elemental demonic beasts online.
It was time to embark on a hunt.
Qin Han Chu first registered his information at the Demon Hunter Guild and then rented an energy motorcycle to leave Wanliu City.
