Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

After a moment, he could only accept it. Fortunately, he had his experience multiplier; therefore, he wasn't greatly affected by it.

On the other hand, Mochi, who was gripping his hair, was once again shocked by her master's strength.

Vincent ignored Mochi's reaction and kept his eyes on the fellow below.

What now… What are they gonna do after I kill their prey? Are they gonna follow the stereotype of arrogant encounters, or will they deviate from the script? he quietly thought.

At this moment, the trio was still in shock. Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. Initially, they were fighting against the Stone Arm Ape, chased it, discovered a floating rabbit, and were soon blasted by the sudden appearance of a powerful individual.

The two women, Lu Mengmeng and Fu Xingxing, slowly stared at their Senior Brother, who was also still in shock.

"Senior Brother…" Lu Mengmeng softly called out, bringing Jiang Hao back to his senses. He shut his gaping mouth, gave his junior sisters a look, and then turned to face Vincent with a serious and cautious expression.

Jiang Hao sheathed his sword back into its scabbard, a gesture immediately copied by his junior sisters. He then cupped his hand and slightly bowed his head toward Vincent.

"Greetings, Senior."

The two girls followed suit. "Greetings, Senior."

Vincent, who was on the receiving end, showed no reaction to their greetings. Despite this, Jiang Hao and the two girls were surprisingly not offended.

They kept their heads slightly lowered as Jiang Hao's voice rang once again. "We apologize for disturbing you. We had no idea the rabbit already had an owner."

Although his head was lowered, Jiang Hao was still trying to sense Vincent's strength. However, he could not understand why Vincent was only emitting Peak Tier 1 strength.

There's no way a Tier 1 Origin Warrior could kill a mid-level Tier 2 in a single punch, he thought. It's probably a special skill to hide his true strength. He recalled hearing from his master that some powerful existences could hide their strength to surprise their opponents.

At that moment, his junior sister with a double bun hairstyle suddenly spoke up. "Senior Brother, the beast's corpse is technically ours, right? We were the ones fighting it, after all. It just fled when it was about to die."

What perfect timing to say it!

Jiang Hao's face immediately darkened as he hurriedly pushed her head lower, apologizing profusely.

"I apologize for her behavior, Senior. Please forgive her. It's her first time in the outside world. Please don't mind her. The ape's corpse is all yours."

After saying this, he shot a glance at Fu Xingxing, who was about to open her mouth again.

Meanwhile, as Vincent quietly observed them, Mochi's voice rang in his mind.

"These people have an aura of death around them…"

Vincent frowned beneath his mask and turned his head, looking at Mochi.

He asked, "Are you saying they are also going to die?"

However, Mochi did not respond. No, he did not need her answer. Once Mochi said something, he knew it was the truth. Still, he felt slightly uncomfortable.

Again? he thought.

He encountered people who were going to die, again!

And not just one, but all three of them.

As he was about to wonder if he might be the cause of their deaths, his expression suddenly changed as though he finally understood the reason.

Soon, a group of five figures, fully clad in black clothes that concealed their appearances, suddenly appeared and surrounded Jiang Hao and the others. They were all Peak Tier 1 Origin Warriors.

The trio was caught off guard for a moment but quickly reacted, drawing their weapons and preparing to fight.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Who are you?!" Jiang Hao exclaimed cautiously. He knew his question would not change the situation, but he simply had no choice. He had to act quickly. They were surrounded, and from the looks of these people, their intentions were far from good.

As expected, the black-clad figures did not utter a single word. They simply pointed their weapons at the trio and maintained their positions. At this moment, another presence arrived, slightly delayed.

"Hehe, after playing hide and seek for a few years, I finally caught you, Jiang Hao!"

The voice was very familiar to Jiang Hao. He turned to face its owner and immediately recognized the person standing before him.

The newcomer appeared to be about the same age as Jiang Hao, in his early 20s. He wore a purple martial robe, matching the color of his long, silky hair tied in a ponytail.

It was Zhang Chen, a Tier 2 Origin Warrior and a member of their rival sect, the Purple Moonlight Sect.

Behind him stood an old man with long white hair, dressed in a darker-shaded purple robe. Jiang Hao could feel an overwhelming sense of danger emanating from him. He did not recognize the old man, but it was clear that he was significantly stronger than anyone present.

Jiang Hao faced Zhang Chen and said, "What are you doing, Zhang Chen? Are you still unable to move on from your loss to me?"

It was the only explanation Jiang Hao could think of. Zhang Chen was the grandson of an Elder from the Purple Moonlight Sect. During the last Sect Cross Tournament, Jiang Hao had defeated him soundly. Since then, Zhang Chen had relentlessly pursued him under the guise of revenge.

Every time, Jiang Hao had managed to escape death by a narrow margin. However, this time, running away seemed far less likely. With his junior sisters to protect and the old man behind Zhang Chen, the odds were stacked against him.

The mention of his humiliating defeat caused Zhang Chen's face to darken momentarily before he quickly recovered, his expression smug.

"Hehe, it seems you still can't see your situation, Jiang Hao. You're in my hands now. I can finally erase the humiliation I suffered because of you!"

At this moment, Fu Xingxing could no longer hold back her thoughts. She glanced at her Senior Brother and spoke confidently.

"Senior Brother, this guy is talking too much. Let's beat him!"

Her loud, unwavering tone conveyed her absolute belief in her Senior Brother's invincibility. No matter who or what stood before them, she was confident he would emerge victorious.

However, despite her words, Jiang Hao did not respond. When she turned to look at him, she saw his dark expression fixed on the old man behind Zhang Chen.

"Senior Brother…" she called softly, but Jiang Hao ignored her.

In response to her defiance, Zhang Chen turned his attention to Fu Xingxing, an arrogant smile spreading across his face.

"Hoh… You actually brought two pretty girls with you. Are you three on a date?"

Jiang Hao ignored the taunt and said, "Are you truly so adamant about revenge? Do you think our Mystic Light Sect will stand idly by if they find out about this?"

Hearing his words, Fu Xingxing seemed emboldened. She followed up, "Hmph! You ugly toad! If you dare lay a hand on my Senior Brother, my Grandpa won't let you go!"

Amused by her confidence, Zhang Chen raised a curious eyebrow. "Oh? Who's your grandfather?"

"My grandfather's name is Fu Gao! He's an Elder of the Mystic Light Sect!" she declared proudly, expecting the revelation to intimidate Zhang Chen and his group.

Contrary to her expectations, Zhang Chen burst into laughter. His voice echoed through the mountain forest.

"Haha! I thought you were from a super sect. Woman, I'm also the grandson of an Elder. Do you think I'd be scared of your grandfather?"

His words stunned Fu Xingxing into silence.

Zhang Chen smirked and continued, "Come to my side. If you two are willing to serve me, I might spare your lives. Perhaps I'll even make you my concubines."

He licked his lips maliciously.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao's fury boiled over. "Don't you dare have any dirty thoughts about my junior sisters, or I'll make sure to cripple you this time!"

Zhang Chen's smug expression twisted into a glare.

"Too late. You should've done that earlier." He signaled to the black-clad men. "Kill Jiang Hao and capture the women."

The five figures nodded in acknowledgment. As they moved in, Jiang Hao shouted, "Close your eyes!"

Lu Mengmeng and Fu Xingxing hesitated briefly but quickly complied.

Jiang Hao's blade began to buzz, and moments later, a blinding white light burst forth, catching Zhang Chen and his men off guard.

"Argh! My eyes!"

"Damn it!"

"It hurts!"

As cries of pain erupted, Jiang Hao seized the opportunity. He grabbed Lu Mengmeng and Fu Xingxing by the arms and started to run.

"Senior Brother?!" they exclaimed in confusion.

"Stop talking. Let's run!" he interrupted urgently.

By the time Zhang Chen regained his vision, Jiang Hao and his group were already disappearing into the distance.

"Damn it!" Zhang Chen roared, kicking one of his men to his feet. "Get up! Chase them! If you let them escape, you'll face punishment!"

The black-clad men, their eyes still red, scrambled to their feet and began the pursuit. Zhang Chen followed closely behind.

Meanwhile, the old man behind him did not immediately follow. Zhang Chen simply glanced at the old man and did not force him. He had no complete information about the old man, he was only sent by his Grandfather to protect him but he had no authority to order the old man around.

Hence, he simply ignored him.

At this moment, the old man was staring obviously in Vincent's direction.
