    Chapter 269

    The video of Su Hao and Yashan effortlessly defeating seven burly men quickly spread across the internet. While many people were already amazed by Bai Jingzhong's overwhelming strength as a summoner, what truly shocked them this time was his exceptional hand-to-hand combat ability.

    Even more surprising was the boy standing beside him. He appeared to be about the same age as Bai Jingzhong, yet with only a few simple moves, he had effortlessly brought down several men over six feet tall.

    For a time, people couldn't help but marvel at how unpredictable the world truly was.

    Soon, the children of the Morning Sun Courtyard also saw the video.

    Every one of them wore an expression of disbelief.

    They had all grown up together in the same courtyard. They ate the same food, lived under the same roof, and received the same upbringing.

    So why were Jingzhong and Jingyi the only ones who had become so incredibly powerful?

    It simply made no sense.

    Before long, everyone's curious eyes turned toward Sister Bai.

    Could it be...

    Had she secretly been giving Jingzhong and Jingyi something special to eat all these years?

    Sister Bai, however, wasn't paying attention to their strength at all.

    As she watched the video, an old memory suddenly surfaced.

    Her pupils abruptly contracted.

    It felt as though a case that had remained unsolved for years had finally found its answer.

    "The Night Sneak Clubbers..."

    "It was those two!"

    "It had to be Jingzhong and Jingyi!"

    The more she thought about it, the more everything fit perfectly.

    All those strange incidents that had happened around the Morning Sun Courtyard over the years suddenly became completely understandable.

    "It was definitely those two causing trouble..."

    She wanted to share the satisfaction of finally solving the mystery.

    Yet when she opened her mouth...

    Not a single word came out.

    She silently closed the video instead.

    The strength displayed by Su Hao and Yashan was already so unbelievable that, in her mind, any impossible incident could reasonably be attributed to them.

    The others, meanwhile, were still discussing the video excitedly.

    Everyone wanted to know who had trained Jingzhong and Jingyi.

    It wasn't merely curiosity.

    They genuinely wanted to become just as strong.

    Only one person wasn't thinking about any of that.

    Pan Hua.

    Ever since Yashan had beaten her in public, she felt utterly humiliated. To her, it was even more unbearable than being stripped naked in front of a crowd.

    In reality...

    No one really cared.

    As the one who had been beaten, she wasn't important enough to remain the center of attention.

    But Pan Hua couldn't think that way.

    Whenever someone glanced at her, she felt they were mocking her.

    Whenever someone spoke nearby, she believed they were laughing at her.

    She was gradually driving herself mad.

    That very night, trembling with fear, she entered Pan Fengxuan's office.

    "Councilor Pan..."

    She lowered her head, too frightened to look up.

    Pan Fengxuan frowned slightly.

    "What are you afraid of?"

    Pan Hua remained silent for a moment before recounting everything that had happened.

    Naturally, the story she told was colored by her own perspective.

    Without deliberately lying, her emotions had already distorted many details.

    After listening quietly, Pan Fengxuan nodded.

    "Don't worry."

    "Do you think I would side with outsiders?"

    "Very well. You may leave."

    Pan Hua immediately let out a sigh of relief before hurriedly leaving the office.

    After the door closed, Pan Fengxuan lit a cigar and slowly took a deep drag.

    The room soon filled with smoke.

    A moment later, he lightly tapped the desk.

    A broad-shouldered man in a suit immediately entered.

    "Boss."

    Pan Fengxuan spoke calmly.

    "Since Bai Jingzhong has no intention of joining me, there's no point forcing him."

    "There are plenty of geniuses in this world."

    "But he's a rare genius."

    "I can't simply allow someone like him to fall under someone else's control. Otherwise, the other councilors will certainly question my competence."

    He looked at the man before him.

    "You know what to do."

    "Keep it quiet."

    The man nodded expressionlessly.

    "Understood."

    Without another word, he turned and left.

    Meanwhile, Su Hao quietly sorted through the information he had obtained from Pan Hua.

    There had been two reasons for recording her consciousness.

    The first was to discover who stood behind her.

    The second...

    Was to determine whether she should continue living.

    Threatening Sister Bai and the people of the Morning Sun Courtyard was something he absolutely would not tolerate.

    If circumstances allowed, he had even considered eliminating everyone connected to her in one stroke.

    Now, through the information gathered from Pan Hua's consciousness, he had already identified the person behind everything.

    Councilor Pan Fengxuan.

    Moreover...

    The man was currently within the range of his radar.

    Su Hao's expression gradually turned cold.

    "I don't intend to make a move this early."

    "So you'd better not force my hand."

    He never underestimated those who had spent years standing at the top of society.

    Such people possessed methods that ordinary people could never imagine.

    This incident also forced Su Hao to confront another issue.

    His identity as Bai Jingzhong was inseparably tied to Sister Bai and the Morning Sun Courtyard.

    As long as he continued living under this identity, those people would inevitably be drawn into his affairs.

    His arrival had improved their lives.

    But it had also brought danger.

    One day...

    He and Yashan would have to leave the Morning Sun Courtyard.

    Even Su Hao wasn't entirely sure what they would do afterward.

    He only knew...

    Whatever they chose to pursue would probably seem insane to ordinary people.

    Even while keeping a low profile, trouble continued to find him.

    Once greater interests became involved, there was no telling how far people would go.

    Taking a deep breath, Su Hao suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

    "Not yet."

    "My strength still hasn't reached its peak."

    "Give it another four years."

    "When this body reaches fourteen..."

    "The real plan can begin."

    For now, he would continue following the original strategy.

    First use the Genesis Sovereign to infiltrate his targets.

    Then slowly obtain every piece of knowledge he wanted.

    As for Pan Fengxuan...

    Once he completely understood the forces behind him, he would eliminate them all at once.

    Some matters simply couldn't afford hesitation.

    Once an opportunity was missed, regret would come too late.

    The next day brought Su Hao's fifth match.

    His opponent was a spirited young man in his early twenties.

    He confidently stepped onto the summoner's platform and summoned every one of his summoned beasts into a perfectly ordered formation.

    Then he pointed dramatically toward Su Hao.

    "Bai Jingzhong!"

    "My name is Moyansheng!"

    "Remember that name!"

    "Because I'm the first person you've ever met who will surrender before the battle even begins!"

    Having finished speaking, he decisively pressed the surrender button.

    Then he turned and walked away with an air of complete satisfaction.

    The arena fell silent for a brief moment.

    Then came an overwhelming chorus of boos.

    "Tch!"

    "Coward!"

    "What a disgrace!"

    "He didn't even dare fight!"

    "Shameless!"

    The audience had paid to watch fierce battles.

    Instead, they had been forced to watch someone make a dramatic speech before immediately forfeiting.

    Ironically, although Moyansheng desperately wanted Bai Jingzhong to remember his name...

    Su Hao forgot it almost instantly.

    Instead, it was the spectators who remembered him.

    Quite a few young girls even found his behavior amusing and rather handsome.

    In an unexpected way...

    He had become famous.

    With another effortless victory, Su Hao officially advanced to the second round of the World Summoner All-Star Championship.

    There would now be five days before the promotion matches began.

    These five days were meant to give summoners time to adjust their summoned beast lineups, study future opponents, and formulate battle strategies.

    Many wealthy competitors even hired professional tacticians to devise specialized strategies.

    Some information brokers openly advertised that they possessed battle plans specifically designed to counter Bai Jingzhong's summoned beasts.

    The asking price alone reached ten million.

    For those who dealt in information, these five days were an opportunity to make a fortune.

    For Su Hao, however, they were an opportunity to explore Shengshi City, search for useful technology and equipment, and, if circumstances permitted, quietly eliminate Pan Fengxuan's entire faction.

    After all...

    If a distinguished councilor were to die unexpectedly, the Summoner Association would inevitably fall into temporary chaos.

    During that confusion, very few people would pay attention to a young genius like Bai Jingzhong.

    As long as everything was handled cleanly...

    There shouldn't be any problems.

    Just as Su Hao stepped out of the hotel...

    A bright flash suddenly appeared about a kilometer away.

    It vanished almost instantly.

    Before he even had time to react—

    A terrifying force slammed directly into his forehead.

    Bang!

    His head snapped violently backward, and his small body was thrown into the air.

    Only one thought flashed through his mind.

    "A sniper!"

    Then, he loudly shouted, “My opponent, Bai Jingzhong! Listen! My name is Moyansheng! Remember this name! Remember me! Because I am the first person you’ve encountered who forfeits the match without even fighting!”
