He died.
Everyone in the Tian family was stunned.
They were looking forward to Lin Hu's move because they wished to see the power of Rule Force. In fact, they thought to enjoy the show, but when Lin Hu attacked, when his Rule Force emerged, it was actually too terrifying! A man just vanished in front of them!
With no residue left!
So this is the might of a world esper?
Everyone was horrified.
"Have you all seen enough now?"
Su Hao's calm voice rang in their ears, "I didn't show any sign of having Rule Force is due to my unique talent. I didn't use Rule Force because its power is too horrifying. As one who just broke through, I can't control it well. With just a slight mistake, problems can occur."
"For example, that scene earlier."
Su Hao continued in a calm tone, "Now that you all have seen it, are you satisfied now?"
Everyone swallowed their saliva.
If Su Hao said these words before the attack, they wouldn't be able to understand, but now no one dared to speak. A world esper, Lin Hu is truly a world esper! If they were not part of the Tian family, they would not even be qualified to speak in front of Lin Hu.
Beside them, Tian Gang smiled bitterly.
He was originally a bit skeptical and had the desire to watch the show, but never would he thought that once Lin Hu took action, an elder of the Tian family with terrifying strength would vanish like that.
This sudden bad temper...
But what could he say?
It was needless to say what character Lin Hu has. Everyone in the Tian family was well aware of that. Moreover, Lin Hu also mentioned just now that he just broke through not long ago and incapable of controlling it well. Who could blame him? For an elder who had died, is one willing to offend a terrifying world esper? No one will do so.
"Who told him to step forward?" Tian Gang stood up and coldly asked.
"It should be for Tian Zi's sake."
An elder bitterly explained, "He's the elder closest to Tian Zi. After Tian Zi's exit, his past efforts were literally in vain, which is probably why he vent out his anger here."
"Humph!"
Tian Gang sneered, "What big guts."
Tian Gang quickly dealt with this matter with such reasoning. Su Hao just watched from the side and didn't say anything. He didn't care what the truth was. The ingenuity of that elder had given him the chance to eradicate the doubts on him completely.
To be frank, Su Hao needed to thank him.
"You all can leave first." Tian Gang commanded everyone to leave. Then only did Su Hao ask, "What do you mean by Tian Zi is leaving?"
"This kid is a little unruly."
With a loving tone, Tian Gang told everything to Su Hao. On the surface, it looked like he was criticizing Tian Zi, but his hidden meaning was that for Lin Hu, he was willing to set Tian Zi aside. This position is too important that only Lin Hu is qualified to take it. The Tian family placed importance on Lin Hu and so on...
"I will definitely do it well." Su Hao's expression seemed respectful, but he was secretly laughing.
"En, I believe you."
Tian Gang nodded and continued in a regretful tone, "At first, I want to appoint you as the Clan Head, but those stubborn oldies in the family... Sigh, although their strength isn't great and only at the domain realm, they're still the family's elders. However, you're now a world esper. I believe you won't care much about this reputation."
"En."
Su Hao just whispered in response, but he was snorting disdainfully within his heart.
To be Clan Head?
Is that possible?
If Su Hao really becomes the Clan Head, those stubborn elders' alive might even drown him to death. Family-oriented forces generally have stronger cohesion than ordinary forces. However, the disadvantages are also clear. Due to blood relations, ordinary strong espers won't have much say here.
For example...
Some of them aren't strong, but their ranking was so high that it scared others.
There are also some elders who had survived the chaotic era and experienced many wars. Who would mess with them? To let a disciple with a different family name as the Clan Head, that's a total joke. To be able to become the leader of core disciples, that's already the limit for Su Hao.
If one wants to display the family's cohesion, you can never let someone with a different family name as the Clan Head!
Whether it is the Su family or the Tian family, there is no exception.
"Quickly organize the current teams."
Tian Gang gave an order, "The war might break out at any moment. We must not let them have too much preparation time."
"Yes!" Su Hao accepted the order.
*****
Tian family.
The news of Lin Hu killing an elder quickly spread. When they heard of Lin Hu easily destroy the fiery dragon without using Rule Force and erased the elder with Rule Force, they were all frightened and no longer doubted him.
At the same time, the news of Lin Hu being appointed as the core disciple leader was also passed on.
While rejoicing, quite a number of the Tian family's members were panicking. In the past, there was a highly respected world esper who became their leader, and it left them a bit overwhelmed. Fortunately, Lin Hu's character was well respected that it only took a few days for all the core disciples to be successfully integrated under the new leadership.
The Tian family now had another powerhouse.
When the news spread outside, the other families were all nervous.
A newly born world esper, even if he doesn't master Rule Force, his strength still can't be compared to any domain esper. Just from how he erased a peak domain esper, one can clearly see it. Now with Lord Lin Hu leading the core disciples, if the other families aren't worried, now that would be strange.
Everyone knew that the next time they go out, Lin Hu would lead them! With Lin Hu's strength, if there is no world esper to stop him, he would wipe out the entire battlefield! If one is to include those powerful domain espers teams in the Tian family, Lin Hu's next action would likely be enough to destroy a family.
The situation in the Federation once again turned unstable.
"Control, we must control Lin Hu!"
The Clan Head of a certain family said in horror.
"Damn it! The confrontation between the family union and the Tian family finally broke the balance point. Why did this Lin Hu have to breakthrough at this moment...." An elder of a family said unwillingly.
"Have you deduce the Tian family's target?"
"No, but based on the current deduction result, there is a 40% probability they target the Su family. While the remaining four families each have a probability of no more than 20%."
"Then..."
"Go to the Su family!"
"Clan Head?"
"We mustn't let the Tian family destroy us one by one. Leave the observers behind. As for the rest, go to the Su family and contact other Clan Heads to gather there. Since the Tian family wants to wage war, we will give them war! This time, with five families joining forces, we must let the Tian family experience a painful experience."
"Yes!"
That night, there was a huge movement behind the curtains within the Federation.
A few Clan Heads gathered at the Su family and brought along their strong espers. They wanted to give a fatal blow to the Tian family. Facing the threat of the Tian family, those families finally abandoned their personal agenda and were completely united.
Tian family.
Tian Gang smiled, looking at the virtual screen, "Five families are now united. Headed by the Su family and supported by the other families, they're digging a pit for us to jump inside."
"What?"
All the elders were shocked.
Just when the Tian family was preparing to attack the Su family, they already obtained the news?
This is too quick!
"Should we change our goal then? Besides the Su family, there is also another family not far away from the Tian family. Since they had sent forces to the Su family if we're to go at this moment..." An elder gave his suggestion.
"No need." Tian Gang shook his head, "If we're to take a detour around the Su family, it's easy for them to backstab us. Then, that would be a real problem. plus, it's just five big families..."
"But how could they get the news this quick?"
An elder was a little afraid, and his gaze landed on Su Hao, who was the only non-member of Tian family there, "Could it be that there is a spy within the Tian family's higher-ups?"
"I am the one who spread it." Tian Gang calmly said.
"Huh?"
Everyone became frozen.
"What I want is this effect."
Tian Gang's eyes lit up, "Doing so to urge them. Plus, we mustn't let them have too much time to prepare. To defeat a family one at a time, that would consume too much time. With too many variables, Origin Ability Association and the Federation are definitely tempted to take action too. We must end this quickly."
"Since they dare not attack, then we will force them to make a move."
Tian Gang looked at a certain direction, "The Su family will be the final decisive battlefield. This time, the Tian family will emerge and become the true top family."
Hearing this, everyone's blood boiled.
The Tian family, it's finally the time to go all out!
After ten years of concealing their strength, the Tian family easily destroyed three families with surprise attacks. The current remaining families were fully alerted by now that any sneak attack is not possible. In that case, it's better to go all-out as soon as possible.
The Tian family has such confidence.
"Ninth elder, contact the Zhang family and prepare for war!" Tian Gang coldly gave his order.
"Yes!" The ninth elder accepted the order.
"Lin Hu!"
"Here!"
"This time, I have an important task for you, but please be careful." Tian Gang reminded, "A war isn't a child's play. Even if you're a world esper, you might still end up dying."
"Huh?" Su Hao was a little confused. He didn't know why Tian Gang wanted to emphasize this.
"You will not face a world esper."
Tian Gang paused for a second, "However, even so, that doesn't mean you won't face danger. Of course, a world esper is the pinnacle of power. However, during the chaotic era, when countless world espers emerged, many of them ended up dying."
"Do you know how they died?" Tian Gang didn't wait for Su Hao to reply and continued in a calm tone.
"Died of tiredness!"
A world esper can ignore ordinary men, but what about other espers? One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand might still be fine, but what about one hundred thousand espers? When countless espers appeared, the Rule Force of a world esper will be depleted rapidly and eventually be consumed by life!
The moment a world esper's Rule Force is exhausted, that's when one will go down.
It was such a pity...
Many world espers during that time died like that.
"Hiss~"
Everyone took a mouthful of breath.
Su Hao even felt the chill. When did one hundred thousand or even a million of lives are used to exchange for one life? So this is what a war is?
Inexplicably...
A phrase appeared within Su Hao's mind.
People's lives are akin to weeds.
