Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 78 The Target of Public Criticism

[Imperial Seal of the State (Not Activated)]

Affixes: heritage, emperor

Quality: Common (Epic)

Attribute: When possessed, it grants a significant Charm attribute bonus.

Loading Ability (Not Activated): Imperial Majesty. Anyone who sees you must undergo a will test. If the test is passed, the person's will will be weakened to varying degrees depending on the strength of their will. If the test is failed, their strength will be greatly weakened, and a 'seed of submission' that will gradually weaken over time will be planted deep within their heart.

Having the Seed of Submission means you cannot resist the Emperor's majesty during a second Will check; repeated Will checks will strengthen the Seed of Submission.

After reviewing the attributes of the Imperial Seal of the State, Huang Hong could only say "Awesome!" This was practically a treasure tailor-made for establishing power.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Seal of the State is in an inactive state, so its quality has been reduced from Epic to Common, which even makes the loading ability unusable.

Huang Hong probably already knew how to activate it: become an emperor.

Huang Hong shook his head, pulling his wandering thoughts back. Even if he had plenty of time, let alone the fact that he only had a month left before leaving this echoing space-time, he wouldn't consider conquering the world.

Huang Hong looked at Liu Yuan and said, "Chief Liu, I have another request."

Liu Yuan said indifferently, "Since it's an unreasonable request, young friend Huang, there's no need to say anything more."

Huang Hong was slightly taken aback, but he didn't take it to heart and shamelessly asked, "Chief Liu, what do you think of the Yuan Dou Huang Fist I just used?"

Liu Yuan glanced at Huang Hong and said, "That's not the Yuan Dou Huang Fist."

Huang Hong added with a smile, "You noticed? It wasn't true at first, but later it wasn't entirely true either."

Liu Yuan fell silent. He naturally understood Huang Hong's meaning and was also shocked by the latter's talent.

Huang Hong stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Chief Liu, I wish to receive the inheritance of the Yuan Dou Huang Quan."

Liu Yuan said, "Are you saying that even if I don't pass on my knowledge, you can still comprehend it on your own?"

Huang Hong did not respond.

After a moment's thought, Liu Yuan said, "Alright, it's not impossible to give it to you, but you need to swear an oath on your own martial arts that the techniques of the Yuan Dou Huang Quan lineage cannot be passed on to outsiders."

In fact, in a world without ghosts and gods, making oaths can only protect against virtuous people, not wicked people.

However, in Liu Yuan's opinion, with Huang Hong's talent and aptitude, he would probably be able to figure out the Yuan Dou Huang Fist technique sooner or later. Rather than doing so, it would be better to do him a favor in advance.

Huang Hong said, "Alright, I, Huang Hong, hereby swear that I will never spread the Yuan Dou Huang Fist technique in this world."

Although Huang Hong's oath was somewhat strange, Liu Yuan didn't say anything more. He went to the corner of the house, opened a hidden compartment, took out three books, handed them to Huang Hong, and said, "These are what you wanted. You can read them here and return them to me when you're done."

Huang Hong didn't stand on ceremony and took the three books to read.

Half an hour later, Huang Hong closed the third book, looked at the few new skills on the extraordinary panel, and showed a satisfied expression.

There are books on cultivating battle qi, books on changing the attributes of battle qi, and books on using battle qi techniques. It can be said that these three books represent the fundamental inheritance of the Yuan Dou Huang Fist. As for the various martial arts techniques derived from this battle qi inheritance, they are nothing more than trivial matters to Huang Hong at this time.

After thanking Liu Yuan, Huang Hong took the Imperial Seal of the State and prepared to leave.

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Huang Hong chuckled, brandishing the Imperial Seal of the State in his hand, and said with a smile, "Of course, it will make us the target of everyone's criticism!"

A moment later, Huang Hong arrived at the top of the city wall at the pass and looked down at the army below that was poised to launch another attack to put pressure on Yuan Dou Huang Quan.

He unwrapped the bright yellow package, revealing the Imperial Seal of the State. At the same time, he gathered his strength in his dantian and shouted in a voice that could be heard for miles around: "Look carefully, what you are looking for is in my hands!"

Whether among the large army below or those hidden in the shadows, there were many sharp-eyed and keen-eared martial arts experts who naturally saw what Huang Hong was holding.

This immediately confirmed what was originally just a rumor, and some people could no longer contain their curiosity.

After displaying it for about ten seconds, Huang Hong put away the Imperial Seal of the State, then smiled slightly at General Chen, whose expression was complicated, before leaping off the city wall and charging towards the chaotic army.

The Yuan Dou Huang Quan itself is certainly valuable, but the main reason they were besieged by the six major lords this time was the Imperial Seal of the State. Now that the Imperial Seal of the State has been taken away by Huang Hong, their danger has naturally been resolved.

Or rather, even if some feudal lords still covet the Yuan Douhuang Fist, they will no longer resort to overwhelming force with large armies.

Huang Hong charged ahead recklessly, but this time he clearly felt greater pressure.

This is to be expected. The reason why his charge was so successful last time was twofold: firstly, he took advantage of the surprise attack, and before the other generals could react, he had already finished; secondly, he wanted to go in, not the people inside, so the army's interception was not so resolute.

Furthermore, Huang Hong was playing his cards openly this time, possessing the Imperial Seal of the State. The feudal lords were practically going crazy and issued a death order to keep him here.

However, as mentioned before, Huang Hong's strength in the midst of chaos was even greater than that of a Grandmaster, and his endurance was overwhelming. No matter how many troops surrounded him, it could not affect him in the slightest.

On the contrary, the arrogant soldiers and generals he killed contributed a lot of talent affixes, most of which were not very useful, but a few of them looked pretty good.

Without leaving a trace in the snow: The footwork is light and agile, like the wind sweeping through the snow. It does not sink when walking on water and makes no sound when stepping on leaves. It will create afterimages when moving at high speed.

Coiled Serpent Stance: Shrinking the body like a coiled snake, it allows for minimal evasion of attacks, significantly increasing evasion efficiency in a defensive posture.

……

After Huang Hong broke through the army's encirclement, he ran wildly into the distance without hesitation.

He knew he wasn't completely out of danger yet, and even bigger trouble was probably just around the corner.

As Huang Hong was thinking this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and at that moment, a lasso whistled past him.

With a loud thud, the lasso struck a tree and tightened rapidly due to the inertia of the stones at both ends. The force of the throw was evident just from the marks left on the tree.

Huang Hong looked around and saw six strange-looking people surrounding him. They were all martial arts experts and were holding some unusual weapons.

"Boy, now that you've met the Six Friends of Peach Grove, your good days are over. If you know what's good for you, hand over the stuff, and you'll suffer less!"

"Hehe! Boss, look at this kid's delicate skin, we can't let him get away so easily!"

"Exactly! I love this kind of fierceness, being able to rampage through the army, wow! Just thinking about it is exhilarating!!"
