I choose a C ranked hero in another world, I was mocked online

Chapter 380: Conqueror's Haki

Hearing Hu Zhong's words, Director Yang was first stunned, then both shocked and delighted.

He was shocked that he hadn't expected Chen Ye to be so audaciously bold as to dare challenge the famous "King Kong" Hu Zhong.

A powerhouse who could rank 11th on the expert rankings, even if there was some padding, was still an extremely terrifying figure. It was said that half a year ago, Hu Zhong had single-handedly succeeded in killing Red-Hair, who was hailed as having the "strongest face" in the pirate world, in a pirate dungeon!

Red-Hair was an old-school Yonko, absolutely one of the top-tier powerhouses in the pirate world. That Hu Zhong could kill him was enough to show just how terrifying his strength was.

The Conqueror's Haki he now mastered was also a reward obtained from Red-Hair...

What delighted Director Yang was that Chen Ye was so reckless, daring to challenge Hu Zhong. Wasn't this a golden opportunity delivered right to their door?

Thinking of this, Director Yang immediately advised: "Brother Hu, since that kid is so bent on self-destruction and delivering himself to us, why not take this opportunity to finish him off directly?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhong looked at Director Yang with a half-smile.

"Old Yang! I'm only willing to help you out because we were once partners, for the sake of old times, you understand?"

Although Director Yang's strength had long been left far behind by Hu Zhong, being able to reach the position of branch director meant his intelligence certainly wasn't low. He immediately said: "Brother Hu, I've always remembered your great kindness! I've long wanted to repay you..."

Saying this, Director Yang paused for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth: "Brother Hu, you also know I no longer want to struggle in the Main God Space. I happen to have an A-rank hidden quest card that I can't use, so why don't I offer it to you as tribute!"

With that, he directly took out the hidden quest card and handed it over.

At the same time, Director Yang's heart was bleeding! This was an A-rank hidden quest card! Even in the entire Main God Space, there weren't many of them. Its precious value was at least ten times that of a B-rank hidden quest card.

"Oh?" Seeing the hidden quest card, Hu Zhong immediately broke into a smile: "Old Yang! Such kindness is hard to refuse, I won't be polite then."

With that, he took the hidden quest card from Director Yang's hands.

Then Hu Zhong showed a satisfied smile: "Don't worry, that kid daring to challenge me has chosen his path to death. I won't let him walk out of here."

Hearing this, Director Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In his view, with Hu Zhong's words, Chen Ye was surely doomed! That kid was probably too young to know just how strong the gold content of being ranked 11th on the expert rankings was.

Then Director Yang remembered something else and couldn't help but remind: "Brother Hu, what about the Director General..."

Hu Zhong understood Director Yang's meaning and immediately waved his hand: "Don't worry! Old Han has been in seclusion recently and has no time to manage such small matters. Even if Old Han finds out afterward, he won't say anything to me."

The Old Han he mentioned was the Director General.

At this time, Chen Ye and Old Zheng had already arrived at Courtyard Number Three.

Courtyard Number Three was actually the martial arts training ground in the royal residence, with a very large area. With slight modifications, it could serve as a fighting venue.

At this moment, two people were sparring in the middle of the fighting arena.

"The one in black clothes is Shadow Zhao Hu," Old Zheng whispered nearby. "As for this challenger... he looks familiar, probably not an ordinary person."

Of course he wasn't ordinary. Without certain strength and confidence, how would one dare come here to challenge the contestants?

Battles between reincarnators were extremely dangerous. After all, the skills they learned were born for killing. Even in point-sparring matches, accidents were hard to avoid.

Chen Ye looked over. He could see that unknown challenger using many familiar skills, trying to attack Zhao Hu.

And that Zhao Hu, just like the rumors said, possessed terrifyingly fast speed!

He was like Quicksilver from Marvel movies, not only able to easily dodge the challenger's attacks, but could even circle behind his opponent in the blink of an eye.

From beginning to end, Zhao Hu never attacked the challenger. He was deliberately using his speed advantage to toy with the challenger.

Although the challenger's attacks were fierce, he couldn't even touch the hem of his opponent's clothes...

The difference in their strength levels was obvious at a glance.

Before long, that challenger chose to actively concede and left the arena in embarrassment.

Many spectators around let out exclamations of amazement.

"This Zhao Hu is indeed formidable!"

"With such speed, probably no one in the entire Main God Space can compare with him."

"Really unexpected that such a strong person's comprehensive strength evaluation didn't even make the rankings?"

Hearing these discussions, Chen Ye looked toward Zhao Hu.

It had to be said, this Zhao Hu's speed really wasn't inferior to Quicksilver from Marvel movies. Among all the spectators present, probably only Chen Ye's eyesight could clearly see Zhao Hu's movements.

You should know that Chen Ye's current agility attribute was already approaching sixty thousand.

That was six thousand times that of a normal person!

If calculated according to the panel data, a normal person's fastest running speed was around 44 kilometers per hour, then Chen Ye's running speed would reach 264,000 kilometers per hour!

Sound speed was approximately 1,224 kilometers per hour.

That meant Chen Ye's current running speed was more than 215 times the speed of sound...

What terrifying speed was this?

Honestly, Chen Ye didn't dare run at full speed now, because once he ran with full force, the gravitational pull he created could tear apart everything within dozens of meters around him...

Shadow Zhao Hu only rested for a moment before returning to the arena, wanting to fight the next challenger.

His appointments were already fully booked... And this Zhao Hu seemed to really enjoy sparring with people.

At this time, suddenly a staff member approached and whispered a few words in Zhao Hu's ear.

After listening, Zhao Hu showed a surprised expression on his face, then left the arena, yielding the venue. He came to the spectator seats and became an audience member himself.

Such behavior left many of the surrounding spectators puzzled.

Just as everyone was secretly speculating, a figure very familiar to everyone walked into the arena...

"Hmm? Isn't that Deputy Director Hu? How is he...?"

"Holy shit! The famous King Kong Hu Zhong? How did he come?"

"Someone wouldn't dare challenge him, would they? Who's so bold?"

"Awesome, this trip wasn't wasted!"

Hu Zhong's appearance caused many people around to exclaim in surprise, creating quite a commotion.

Old Zheng and Chen Ye naturally also saw Hu Zhong standing in the center of the arena.

Chen Ye was sizing up this reincarnator nicknamed "King Kong."

Hu Zhong wasn't particularly tall, probably just over 1.7 meters, but his muscles were very developed. Even wearing a loose suit, he looked extremely strong. His aura was very powerful; just standing there simply, he released an amazing sense of oppression.

Old Zheng's face was grave, and he couldn't help saying: "Old Chen, if it really doesn't work out, why don't you just concede?"

You couldn't blame him for being so discouraged; it was just that Hu Zhong's aura was too strong.

At this moment, Old Zheng felt that every additional glance he took at Hu Zhong made his breathing less smooth.

Chen Ye said nothing. Having come this far, he definitely wouldn't concede.

"I heard someone wants to challenge me?" Hu Zhong in the arena spoke: "I wonder who it is? Come up!"

Chen Ye then stepped forward, walking out from the crowd to face Hu Zhong.

"Who is this person? Seems like I haven't seen him before?"

"I haven't seen him either..."

"Since he dares to challenge our Director Hu, he should be a strong fighter, right?"

Seeing Chen Ye appear, the surrounding crowd immediately began discussing.

Hu Zhong looked Chen Ye up and down, then suddenly smiled: "Not bad, commendable courage. What's your name?"

Before Chen Ye could speak, Hu Zhong continued: "Never mind, I'm in a hurry, you don't need to introduce yourself. Let me say this upfront - those familiar with me know that I either don't make a move, or when I do, it's a killing blow. You'd better think clearly. If you're scared, it's still not too late to concede now."

This person was very cunning. He first deliberately asked Chen Ye's name, then didn't give Chen Ye a chance to introduce himself, clearly wanting to anger Chen Ye.

Then he said his moves were always killing blows, giving everyone advance warning so that when he killed Chen Ye later, others wouldn't say he was bloodthirsty or bullying the weak.

The last sentence seemed like advice, but was actually provocation. With so many people watching, if Chen Ye conceded without even fighting, he'd never be able to hold his head up again.

Chen Ye didn't speak, only manifested his flames. He disdained playing such petty tricks.

Anyway, he was going to beat this person to death shortly - why waste words with someone about to die?

Seeing Chen Ye manifest his flames, everyone understood Chen Ye's attitude. No concession - let's fight!

Seeing this, Hu Zhong gave a cold smile.

The next moment, this guy's expression suddenly changed. A violent aura appeared on his body, even sweeping outward like a shockwave, instantly covering the entire arena in the blink of an eye.

Conqueror's Haki!

Chen Ye was clearly stunned. The information he had seen didn't mention that Hu Zhong also mastered Conqueror's Haki.

"Whoosh!" The sound of cutting through air followed immediately.

Hu Zhong's entire body was already charging toward Chen Ye, one hand black as metal aimed at Chen Ye's throat.

No one expected Hu Zhong's attack to be so fierce and swift!

He first used Conqueror's Haki to catch Chen Ye off guard, hoping to make him dizzy, with the killing blow following immediately after...

Anyone with eyes could see that this old bastard intended to kill Chen Ye!

Unfortunately, Hu Zhong greatly underestimated Chen Ye.

With Chen Ye's current mental strength and willpower, even if Red-Hair himself came and used the highest level Conqueror's Haki, it couldn't affect Chen Ye in the slightest.

Chen Ye's stunned moment was entirely due to the surprise of seeing that Hu Zhong actually mastered Conqueror's Haki.

So when Hu Zhong's killing blow struck, Chen Ye's lips curved into a slight smile. He simply leaned slightly to the side and dodged Hu Zhong's palm.

Then...

"Whoosh!" A massive amount of flames erupted from Chen Ye's body, directly forming a sea of fire.

Instantly! The temperature of the arena climbed dramatically, like a blazing hell!

Hu Zhong's expression immediately changed. This was the first time he'd seen flames of such high temperature.

This guy's reaction was also very fast. He immediately activated his strongest Armament Haki, covering his entire body, then quickly jumped away, escaping the range of the "blazing hell" that Chen Ye had released.

Even so, Hu Zhong still felt burning pain all over his body! He had actually been scorched...

In just that brief instant...

Hu Zhong immediately understood that this young man's fire was extraordinary. He hadn't expected the opponent to be unaffected by Conqueror's Haki.

He knew he had underestimated his opponent...

It wasn't until after the first round of their exchange that among the surrounding spectators, people began falling one after another, lapsing into unconsciousness.

They had been knocked out by Hu Zhong's Conqueror's Haki. The reason they only fell now wasn't because they had held out for a long time, but because the two fighters' exchange had been too fast.

From when Hu Zhong attacked to when he was forced back by Chen Ye's flames took less than two seconds.

Soon, half of the on-site audience had collapsed. The others who hadn't fallen were all strong-willed powerhouses who could resist Hu Zhong's Conqueror's Haki.

However, quite a few people had experienced brief dizziness and were only now recovering their senses from the dizziness.

None of them had expected that the famous reincarnator "King Kong" would attack so fiercely, and that he would use a killing blow right from the start! It could even be called a sneak attack.

The crowd weren't fools - they immediately understood that Director Hu wanted to kill that fire-ability youth.

Fortunately, this guy had strong enough willpower to not be affected by Conqueror's Haki. If it had been any of them, their throats and entire necks would probably have been broken, right?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on these people's backs.

Earlier, seeing the unfamiliar Chen Ye, some people had thought Chen Ye was an overconfident guy who wanted to become famous.

Now... Looking at Chen Ye standing in the sea of fire like a fire god, no one dared show the slightest contempt anymore.

"What's this guy's name? How can he be so strong?"

"Don't know, he didn't introduce himself earlier."

"His fire... it's not simple! We're so far away and still feel like we're about to be roasted to death, hard to breathe."

"Indeed, such fire is truly terrifying..."

"It shouldn't be like this! How could such a strong person be unknown, with no one recognizing him?"

"Kid, not bad!" Hu Zhong stared at Chen Ye and said slowly: "No wonder you dare challenge me, you do have something! What kind of fire is this?"

Chen Ye finally spoke: "Try it and you'll know."

The next moment, he suddenly clenched his fist, with blazing flames burning on his fist.

Then Chen Ye aimed at Hu Zhong and threw a punch!

Fire Fist!

"Whoosh whoosh..." A massive giant fire fist roared across the arena.

The temperature of the surrounding space rose many times again. Even those standing on the periphery watching the battle couldn't stand the heat and retreated one after another.

And Hu Zhong himself had an even more dramatic change of expression.

As a top-tier reincarnator, Hu Zhong naturally had very strong crisis awareness. He immediately felt that this move from his opponent was extremely dangerous!

Without a word, Hu Zhong directly rolled to the side...

"BOOM!" A violent explosion sound suddenly appeared in the arena...
