Chapter 151: The Unlucky Flying Claws

“A billion-star bounty to capture me?”
Chen Xiao’s eyes widened instantly. His mind raced, analyzing every possible scenario.
“Remnants of the Li family?” That was the first thought that came to him, but he quickly dismissed it. Even at the height of the Li family’s power, they couldn’t afford a billion star coins, let alone now.
No matter who it was, Chen Xiao knew that the entire Hunter World, and even the World of Superpowers, must be in an uproar. A billion star coins was an astronomical amount—enough to buy a small domain in the World of Superpowers.
“Who could it be… Could it be the Atlanteans?” Suddenly, Chen Xiao thought of this possibility.
“It must be them. They want to seize that false Sea God’s Protection from me, so they have to resort to this method…”
In an instant, Chen Xiao figured things out pretty accurately.
“Want to capture me to claim the bounty? Let’s see if you have the ability.” Chen Xiao showed an indifferent expression. “You’re the first to find me. I wonder if it’s your good luck or extreme bad luck.”
Flying Claws ignored Chen Xiao’s words. He glanced around and said, “Although the information is incorrect—you don’t seem to be a third-tier superuser—but so what? In my eyes, you’re still just an ant.”
Flying Claws sneered and struck immediately. Two golden claws, resembling eagle claws, appeared in midair and lunged at Chen Xiao’s shoulders.
At the same time, a dazzling golden light emanated from Flying Claws as he used some combat technique, transforming into a golden figure that rushed toward Chen Xiao.
“Hmph, you’re just a sixth-tier superuser. Combat technique: Sixfold Waves!”
Chen Xiao wasn’t to be outdone. Sixfold Waves burst forth, slamming into Flying Claws’ body. He completely ignored those two golden claws.
Boom!
With a loud noise, Flying Claws’ body, along with his claws, was sent flying by the sixfold waves.
“Damn it! Wave Stacking Technique! Are you from the Hai family?” Blood streamed from Flying Claws’ mouth, and shock flashed across his face. “You’re already fighting so hard from the start. Claw Lord wants a live catch, not a dead one!”
“Flying Claws Soaring to the Sky!”
As a metal-type martial artist, Flying Claws’ body became as hard as metal through the transformation of his spiritual energy. Although Chen Xiao’s Sixfold Waves had the destructive power of a seventh-tier technique, it was still difficult to damage Flying Claws’ body.
In less than a breath’s time, Flying Claws adjusted himself. A sharp golden light emerged from him, allowing him to break through the waves and emerge.
With a single gesture, Flying Claws conjured hundreds of golden claws in midair, all of which rushed at Chen Xiao’s body.
“Water!”
Seeing this, Chen Xiao remained calm. He crossed his arms over his chest, and suddenly, the air around him became thick as countless water forces gathered.
The once-mighty golden claws encountered immense resistance and could no longer move forward.
“Water!”

Chen Xiao shouted again. With a fierce push of his hands, the water energy around him instantly gathered into tangible form, turning into massive waves—far larger than the six waves before. These enormous waves seemed to fall from the sky, enveloping Fei Zha’s entire body before crashing down on him.
Boom!
“Damn it!”
Fei Zha only had time to curse before being swallowed by the waves and slammed into the ground. The golden claws in the air were also scattered by the force.
Chen Xiao waved his hand, dispersing the flood of water, then said with a smile, “Dead? I haven’t even used my full strength yet. You’re a Gold-type martial artist—impossible to be this weak.”
“Pfft…”
Fei Zha lay sprawled on the ground, his body buried three inches deep. He tilted his head and spat out the water from his mouth.
“Damn it, it’s only because it’s me, Claw Lord. If it were any other sixth-tier abuser, they’d be crushed to pieces by this attack.”
Fei Zha tried to get up, but Chen Xiao’s strike had been too brutal, almost breaking his bones.
“Alright, I admit defeat this time. From now on, we go our separate ways.” He shook his head slightly and spat out more blood.
“Heh, Fei Zha, isn’t that too easy?” Chen Xiao laughed as he approached him. “You attacked me and got beaten. How can you just walk away like that? There’s no such thing as getting away that easily.”
“Hmph, I’m free…” Fei Zha started to speak but seemed to remember something and froze. He forgot that the young man before him was also a free hunter.
“I’m also a free hunter.”
Chen Xiao smiled and patted Fei Zha’s cheek, sizing him up with a mischievous look.
“What are you doing? Claw Lord, I’m still a virgin! Don’t do anything weird!” Fei Zha panicked at Chen Xiao’s gaze.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of something extremely fun.
“Fei Zha, Fei Zha, hehe, little claw, since you’re here, don’t leave.” Chen Xiao took out his ability card. A black light flashed, transporting the two of them to the Ability World.
Now, after being modified by Shui Miao, Chen Xiao’s ability card could directly teleport them to the Glory Temple.
……
“Huh… Life now seems just like before in the space prison—no men around…”
Fuyun sat on a lounge chair, idly fiddling with his PSP. With his intelligence and reflexes, such a game posed no challenge to him.
“Young Master!”
In an instant, Fuyun shot up from the chair. The moment Chen Xiao appeared in the temple, he noticed him.
“Huh?”
But when Fuyun saw the man in Chen Xiao’s arms, his eyes widened. Even Chen Xiao could hear him swallowing hard.
“Young Master, who is this handsome man?” Fuyun asked cautiously.

“This person is left in your hands. He’s quite skilled—train him well as soon as possible so he becomes one of us,” Chen Xiao said ambiguously.
“No problem, Master, rest assured!” Fu Yun’s eyes lit up instantly.
“What, what are you doing? Who is he?” Fei Zha’s face turned deathly pale as he stared at Fu Yun.
“You yourself said it—the one who discovered me first has the best luck. Of course, what exactly does that ‘best luck’ mean…”
A lewd smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face.
“Fu Yun, the Hunters’ Guild has offered a billion star coins for my capture. Help me find out who’s behind this. It’s best to catch that person alive.” Then, Chen Xiao revealed his main reason for returning: to uncover the mastermind behind this huge bounty.
“Master, rest assured. With such a handsome man around, Fu Yun will definitely do a good job and not disappoint you,” Fu Yun said, swallowing hard.
Chen Xiao: “…”
“Wait, where is this? Who are you people?” Suddenly, Fei Zha seemed to remember something and shouted out.
“I’ll tell you when it’s time,” Chen Xiao shrugged.
……
“A billion star coins—how many people would go crazy for that?” Chen Xiao shuddered at the thought. Back then, Yu Ye Xiao Chen, the young master of the Yu Ye family, couldn’t even decide on spending a hundred thousand star coins on his own. Now, with a billion star coins at stake, even the Yu Ye family would be tempted.
Chen Xiao now felt like a moving mountain of gold, coveted by countless people. He feared that as soon as he appeared in this world of superpowers, he would be besieged by many.
But hiding in the shadows like a coward wasn’t something Chen Xiao liked to do.
By now, Chen Xiao had changed his appearance and even his looks, arriving in Chi Meng Domain with Shadow.
His five divine disciples—Gui Gui, Mu Mu, Meng Fei—were already well-known in this world of superpowers. As for Sou Hen, he had met Mo Chang Li and the others before. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Xiao rarely let them go out.
Shadow, on the other hand, was a newly summoned divine disciple who was skilled at hiding, making him extremely useful.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was dressed luxuriously and exuded an air of elegance, resembling a young master from a prominent family. As soon as he appeared in Chi Meng Domain, he caught everyone’s attention.
The Hunters’ Guild’s domain was already bustling. With a bounty of a billion star coins, countless superpowered individuals came every day to register as hunters. Even those who hadn’t even developed their mental sea tried their luck.
The Hunters’ Guild in Chi Meng Domain was no exception. Countless superpowered people gathered here, waiting to register as hunters, forming long queues that stretched all the way outside the guild’s gates.
The huge bounty of a billion star coins was announced by the Hunters’ Guild. Only hunters could take on these missions; otherwise, even if non-hunters completed the tasks, they wouldn’t receive any reward from the guild.

“Shadows.” Chen Xiao’s mind stirred, and his voice appeared in the minds of the shadows hidden around him. “Have you detected any traces similar to those of the Atlantean sea folk?”
“Young master, no such traces have been found here,” the shadows sensed briefly before shaking their heads.
Chen Xiao’s expression remained calm, but he was deep in thought.
“Kid, no matter who you are, if you want to register as a hunter, you must wait in line!” Just as Chen Xiao was walking toward the entrance of the Hunter’s Guild, a voice sounded in his ear.
Immediately afterward, Chen Xiao felt countless rude gazes directed at him.
“Who said I’m here to register as a hunter?” Chen Xiao snorted coldly. “It’s only one billion star coins. I’m not exactly short of money.”
With that, Chen Xiao strode straight into the Hunter’s Guild.
“Young master, if you want to register as a hunter, please wait in line outside,” two guards stopped him as soon as he entered.
“Register as a hunter? No need. I’m here to issue missions,” Chen Xiao sneered.
“Issue missions? Young master, please follow me,” said a guild member who heard Chen Xiao’s words and rushed over.
“No need, let’s talk right here,” Chen Xiao waved his hand and said, “I’m offering 30,000 star coins for the life of a freelance hunter.”
