Apparently, Yuan Tong wore t.i.tanium armor which looked like ordinary muscles. He even pasted iron sheets which were painted bronze on his body. These prevented the spears and knives from impaling his body. As the armor tore apart, his actual body was revealed to everyone.

Beneath the armor was a fat and white beer belly. His body was like any other ordinary middle-aged man you would see on the streets. It was a far cry from the mighty and strong impression that he gave previously.

The audience broke into chatter as they saw the scene unfolded before their eyes. The disappointment was evident in some members of the Xiao family.

Priest Yang, who praised Yuan Tong for his abilities, shook his head in disgust and said, "I didn't expect him to be a big, fat liar."

Beside Priest Yang stood Feng Shui expert, Master Mao, who commented, "I've already said it was impossible for clanking to be heard when spears clash against human flesh. This does not conform to nature." However, he was actually thinking, "That muscle armor is quite good, maybe I can get it from TaoBao."

However, the ma.s.ses in the hall were impressed by Luo Hao's invisible punch which exposed Yuan Tong's ploy.

A muscular bloke asked, "Master Luo, was that a vacuum palm attack?"

A female standing beside him frowned and said, "Even the armor was destroyed, if the attack landed on human flesh, it would have instantly turned it into minced meat."

Another person commented, " I'm sure there's more than meets the eyes. Perhaps Yuan Tong was bribed, and this is simply a performance."

Xiao Ai Guo cringed as he was the one who brought this group of odd people into their house. Now, there was a cheater among them. He obviously felt embarra.s.sed for it.

A look of disdain flashed across Granny Xiao's face as she said coolly, "Ai Guo, aren't you embarra.s.sed for bringing a cheater back home? Can the remaining cheaters please leave my house before I chase you?"

Xiao Ai Guo turned to the psychic beside him and said, "Master Lim, I'm counting on you."

The middle-aged lady immediately shook her head and responded, "I'm so sorry, but I had too many cold drinks last month. Now, my menstrual pains hurt so much that I can't even walk properly. I'm afraid I'm not ready to use my power today."

She knew that what she said was gibberish and she was embarra.s.sed by it. However, she witnessed how Master Luo destroyed the armor without even moving a finger. She was not ready to die yet.

"Do you think I'm an idiot," Xiao Ai Guo thought as he suppressed the anger within him and looked at the priest beside the psychic. "Priest Yang!"

Priest Yang replied helplessly, "I'm so sorry Mr. Xiao, but I do not specialize in that kind of power. Even if I go up, I'm not confident of bringing him down."

Xiao Ai Guo knew that what he said was true and did not press on with it. Furthermore, they were people hired under his name. If they went up and got destroyed by Luo Hao, it would not look good on Xiao Ai Guo.

It was not just Priest Yang and the psychic who had surrendered, everyone else hired by Xiao Ai Guo had secretly conceded defeat as well.

After rejecting Xiao Ai Guo, Priest Yang immediately nominated Master Mao to fight against Luo Hao. Priest Yang declared, "Master Mao is the president of Nanyang Feng Shui a.s.sociation and his reputation is far-reaching. How about you go up against Luo Hao?"

Priest Yang glared at Master Mao and he started chuckling. They had known each other for a long time. Back in the days, Master Mao stole lots of business from Priest Yang in Xiang Jiang. Now was the best time for him to exact his revenge.

The man who was referred to as Master Mao was wearing a tuxedo. He shook his head as he mumbled, "Is this rascal trying to send me to h.e.l.l?"

However, there was no fear in his expression. Instead, he was beaming with confidence.

"That will be inappropriate. Can't you guys see through his ploy? The location of this house is on the southern edges of the province which is extremely advantageous for this devil to use his magic. I'm currently using my power to suppress it. Hence, I need the rest of you to attack him now."

However, the majority of the group of people in the hall did not believe a word he uttered. They were just wondering where his confidence stemmed from.

There were some who were convinced based on Master Mao's reputation.

Priest Yang raised his eyebrow as he was surprised by how shameless his longtime rival had become.

Xiao Ai Guo's eyebrows tightened as he was furious to see this scene where the priest and psychics were just pus.h.i.+ng the responsibility to one another.

Honestly, Xiao Ai Guo did not believe in anything supernatural before meeting Luo Hao.

Even though he started believing in it a little after seeing Luo Hao, he did not have any methods to verify these powers. Hence, the experts which he had hired were based on word of mouth and their reputation outside. It seemed like all of them were bogus.

Zhao Yao started laughing as he witnessed this embarra.s.sing scene. He gazed towards Master Luo who was sitting on his chair and asked, "Is that Master Luo?"

Xiao Ming nodded his head and replied, "Yes."

Zhao Yao started to sniff for cat scent with the power of "Two is better than one". Currently, his sense of smell was far stronger than ordinary cats. He was able to distinguish between the scents in the hall. However, he felt something strange in the room.

"Who farted?"

"Why is there such an intense body odor?"

"F*ck, somebody hasn't brushed his teeth for days."

Zhao Yao's eyebrows knitted together as he breathed in the intense and weird scents in the air. He would not usually use his power in this manner, but he had decided to give his all for the mission. After rounds of intense sniffing, he detected one cat other than Dust Ball.

At this moment, a slightly bald man who was wearing a jacket and a pair of sungla.s.ses emerged from the crowd confidently.

"Let me settle this."

Zhao Yao's lips curled into a smile when he saw this man. This was because the cat scent which he had detected previously came from him. With his superior eyesight, he noticed the strands of cat fur on his trousers.

"This guy has a cat," Zhao Yao concluded in his head.

Based on his observation, even though most of the people here were quite reputable in their fields, only Zhao Yao and that man had a cat with them.

The crowd broke into whispers as the man emerged from amongst them.

"Isn't that Priest Hw.a.n.g from Mao Shan?"

"Is Priest Hw.a.n.g going to fight against Luo Hao? I heard that he had spent the past 60 years specializing in his martial arts, he is the only one who has a shot against Luo Hao."

"I heard that the mayor of Jiangmen City invited him to the opening ceremony for the newly renovated town center."

"That's lame. I heard that he was the one who recommended Jiangmen city to the leaders of the nation when deciding which part of the country to focus their development in."

"I heard that his disciples include celebrities and billionaires. If he is fighting against Luo Hao, there's nothing for us to worry."

Regardless of his strength, Priest Hw.a.n.g was definitely the most reputable amongst them.
