Qin Hao woke up and looked at Ning Yao, smiling.
Seeing his expression, Ning Yao guessed what he was planning to do, her cheeks flushed red, and she lay there without speaking, effectively consenting.
After getting out of bed, the two of them casually ate something at the hotel.
Qin Hao opened the virtual imaging system and checked Hua Lihui's location; he was no longer at Jianghai University but inside a residential building a hundred stories high, in a room at the very top.
First, he dropped Ning Yao off at Jianghai University and, before leaving, gave her an F-grade Mecha to ensure her safety.
After dropping off Ning Yao at the school, Qin Hao took an Air Energy Car to Hua Lihui's residence, landing on the rooftop, and then got out.
Upon reaching Hua Lihui's doorway, Qin Hao knocked. Hua Lihui saw him outside through the indoor monitor.
When he saw it was Qin Hao, his expression changed slightly. Why has he come here? Could he know that I was behind last night's incident?
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Hua Lihui's eyes flickered, considering how to respond.
About a minute later, Hua Lihui opened the door, and Qin Hao walked straight in and asked, "Are you from the Hua Family?"
Hua Lihui looked calmly at him and said, "Since you know of the Hua Family, you should be aware of our strength."
Qin Hao shook his head, "I really don't know the strength of your Hua Family. Is it more powerful than laser weapons?"
Hua Lihui was at a loss for words. Although their family was an ancient martial family, and their trained individuals were stronger than ordinary people, they couldn't compare to laser weapons.
"What are you here for? If it's nothing, please leave," Hua Lihui said.
Qin Hao sat on a luxurious sofa and smiled lightly, "You think I don't know that last night's incident was your doing?"
Hua Lihui's face changed. Those two useless men must have betrayed me, damn it, "What do you want to do?"
Qin Hao smiled, "Generally, those who have tried to kill me are now dead."
At these words, Hua Lihui's eyes shone, "The combat robots you produce are indeed strong; not even our family elders are necessarily a match, but that is all external power. You didn't bring any combat robots with you now, do you think you can handle me?"
"Want to try?" Qin Hao said disdainfully.
Hua Lihui declared, "Today you'll experience the might of an ancient martial family firsthand."
He then suddenly moved, his hands turning into claws, aiming for Qin Hao's shoulders. Qin Hao lifted his leg and kicked out, countering any technique with a single move.
His kick was far beyond Hua Lihui's expectations in both speed and strength.
Hua Lihui's body flew backwards, crashing over a luxurious single-seater sofa.
Qin Hao stood there, unmoving, his disdainful smile deeply humiliating Hua Lihui: "I'm going to kill you."
He had never been beaten up from childhood, nor had he ever suffered any slight.
Especially Qin Hao's scornful look, it profoundly struck at his self-esteem.
Hua Lihui struck out with a palm through the air, sending an invisible but intense force of wind, Qin Hao squinted slightly, unafraid and met it with a punch.
His fist hit the invisible force, dispersing it with the wind, Qin Hao felt like he was punching something tangible.
Hua Lihui spewed blood and flew backwards, his expression one of shock as he looked at Qin Hao, eyes filled with disbelief. How could he be so powerful?
"What realm of master are you supposed to be?" Qin Hao asked him.
Hua Lihui remained silent. Qin Hao went up and kicked him, but he still said nothing. Qin Hao sneered and started hitting him with both fists and feet, "Don't want to talk, huh? I'll beat you until you do."
A few minutes later, Hua Lihui finally couldn't hold it in anymore, "I'll talk, I'll talk."
Qin Hao said impatiently, "Hurry up, or I'll beat you until you can't take care of yourself."
By now, Hua Lihui's face was swollen, and his body had countless fractures, "In front of me, I can only be considered a third-rate expert."
"What is the strongest realm in your family?" Qin Hao continued.
Hua Lihui replied, "Our Supreme Elder is the strongest, rumored to have reached the Postnatal Realm."
"How strong is the Postnatal Realm?"
Hua Lihui said, "I've never seen the Supreme Elder in action, so I'm not sure about the specifics."
Qin Hao asked, "You should know where the headquarters of the eight major families are, right?"
Hua Lihui responded, "I know about the Kong, Cao, and Yan families. The other four families are in the north; I don't know about them. We don't communicate much with them, but there are members of the Kong, Cao, and Yan families studying at Jianghai University."
"Is that so? What are their names?"
"From the Kong Family, it's Kong Mengyu, from the Cao Family, it's Cao Yitian, and from the Yan Family, it's Yan Xilong here studying."
Qin Hao felt these names sounded familiar; weren't they the ones who passed the potential test yesterday?
"Where is the headquarters of your Hua Family?"
Hua Lihui hesitated, but seeing Qin Hao about to make a move, he hurriedly said, "Our Hua Family headquarters is in Nancha Province."
After clarifying some things, a smile appeared on Qin Hao's face, "This time I'll spare your life. If there's a next time, don't blame me for not giving the Hua Family any face."
After he finished speaking, Qin Hao left. He had figured out the headquarters of the Kong, Cao, Yan, and Hua families; he could visit anytime he wanted, as Monks can run away, but the temple won't run.
After Qin Hao left, tears of grievances flowed from Hua Lihui's eyes; when had he ever been beaten so miserably?
A few minutes later, he took out a communicator and made a call. The phone was quickly answered with a pleasant female voice on the other end, "Hello, what's up, Lihui?"
"Sis, I got beaten up," Hua Lihui said pitifully.
Hua Linglong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Who beat you up? With your skills, you can't beat ordinary people?"
Hua Lihui explained, "She's no ordinary person, it's Qin Hao."
Hua Linglong looked surprised, "Qin Hao? The one who fought with the alien civilization?"
"Yes, sis, it's him."
Hua Linglong puzzled, "How did you provoke him? You know his strength; those battle Mechas could flatten our Hua Family."
"He stole my girlfriend; that's why we fought, and I couldn't beat him," he explained.
Hua Linglong said, "That's outrageous, sheer bullying! Wait for me, I'm going to Jianghai City. Don't tell our parents about this yet, or they'll inevitably give you a beating."
After all, Qin Hao was no ordinary person. His strength was so great that these ancient martial families didn't want to provoke him.
After Qin Hao left, he sent the information on the Kong, Cao, Yan, and Hua families to Li Wenjun and asked him to keep a close watch.
