The Sea Transport Old Ancestor was somewhat flustered at this moment.
Qin Han Chu’s methods were truly astonishing.
Even if Qin Han Chu were not a Grandmaster, his ability to facilitate breakthroughs for peak Grandmasters alone would earn him the respect of the royal family.
With such an ability, Qin Han Chu’s standing in the eyes of the royalty would become even more significant.
Even Marshal Zhao Long would likely have to reassess Qin Han Chu’s value.
Marshal Zhao Long’s mood was indeed complex at this moment.
If Qin Han Chu were merely a martial artist with potential, Zhao Long would not have been concerned.
However, Qin Han Chu’s ability to help peak Grandmasters advance was a different matter entirely.
Although Zhao Long was in the middle stage of Grandmaster realm, he would eventually die.
What would happen to his descendants after his death?
Before his death, he naturally wanted to cultivate new pillars of support for his family.
He could not afford to ignore Qin Han Chu’s abilities.
The Fifth Princess was extremely excited; such a man had to be secured.
He was simply too outstanding.
Not only was he exceptional in martial arts, but he could also help peak Grandmasters advance.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, Qin Han Chu performed acupuncture on Old Ghost.
The acupoints used this time were entirely different, causing those who had intended to memorize them to abandon the idea.
The physical condition of each martial artist was different, hence the methods to help them break through also varied.
Soon, spiritual energy began to surge around Old Ghost.
With a booming sound, dust flew everywhere once more.
Old Ghost knelt on the ground, excitement evident, "Thank you, Master, for the bestowed gift."
"Rise," Qin Han Chu said calmly.
Old Ghost excitedly stood up, never having expected to reach the Grandmaster realm in his lifetime.
"It succeeded again? Was it that simple?"
"Are there no limitations?"
"If that's the case, can I also become a Grandmaster?"
Among the important figures present, many were at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Qin Han Chu had created two Grandmasters consecutively within ten minutes, which made them incredibly excited.
As long as Qin Han Chu made a move, wouldn't they also be able to become Grandmasters?
Upon this thought, their faces flushed with excitement.
However, a question loomed before them.
Why would Qin Han Chu help them?
In terms of status, Qin Han Chu was the Champion Marquis.
As for wealth, were the Situ family, the Jin family, or the Shen family lacking money?
"Alright, that’s sufficient now," Qin Han Chu said to the Sea Transport Old Ancestor after Old Ghost had risen.
The Sea Transport Old Ancestor remained silent, unsure of what to say at this moment.
Could his Huangfu family afford to offend someone who could mass-produce Grandmasters?
"How did you do it? Can you help all peak Grandmasters advance?" the Sea Transport Old Ancestor asked.
The Sea Transport Old Ancestor's question was on the minds of everyone present.
This matter was simply too far beyond their comprehension.
"Do you think that's possible?" Qin Han Chu spoke the truth; not all peak Grandmasters could advance through this method.
Qin Han Chu understood the physical conditions of Old Ghost and Old Ancestor Situ, which was why he acted as he did.
If their physical condition were not up to par, using such a method would only cause them to explode and die.
"What are the limitations?" the Sea Transport Old Ancestor continued to ask.
Qin Han Chu frowned, "Does this have anything to do with the conflict between us?"
The Sea Transport Old Ancestor was immediately rendered speechless, not knowing what to say.
In the current situation, the Huangfu family was clearly at a disadvantage.
If a fight were to break out, they would definitely not benefit.
"In this matter, our Sun family withdraws." At this moment, the Sun family’s Old Ancestor, who was beside the Sea Transport Old Ancestor, spoke up, withdrawing from the confrontation.
Upon seeing this, the Wu family’s Old Ancestor awkwardly stated, "Our Wu family also withdraws."
Both the Sun and Wu families only had one early-stage Grandmaster. They dared not provoke Qin Han Chu.
What if Qin Han Chu led over a dozen Grandmasters to destroy their families?
They knew clearly that they could only befriend Qin Han Chu, and never antagonize him.
The withdrawal of the two families completely declared the Huangfu family’s defeat.
"We, the Huangfu family, concede. Champion Marquis, state your terms," the Sea Transport Old Ancestor said helplessly.
"Cripple Huangfu Dao Ming." Currently, Huangfu Dao Ming was merely a pawn, a pawn to showcase the victor.
As long as the Huangfu family complied, it would signify their status as losers.
As for the Huangfu family’s attitude towards the Situ family, it was no longer important.
Qin Han Chu had already displayed his strength. As long as the Huangfu family did not wish for their clan to be annihilated, they would not dare to take action against the Situ family.
If they were to make a move, they would face Qin Han Chu’s retribution.
This time, the Sea Transport Old Ancestor did not hesitate at all.
"Sever Huangfu Dao Ming’s hands," the Sea Transport Old Ancestor commanded coldly.
"No… don’t…"
"I am willing to kneel and apologize."
"Don’t cripple me."
Huangfu Dao Ming had initially believed that the Huangfu family would protect him.
However, the situation had changed.
The Huangfu family was in a precarious position itself; how could it challenge Qin Han Chu for his sake?
The Sea Transport Old Ancestor looked at Qin Han Chu, who showed no reaction.
Seeing Qin Han Chu’s indifference, the Sea Transport Old Ancestor coldly ordered, "Cripple him!"
The members of the Huangfu family clearly understood the current situation; they could only abandon Huangfu Dao Ming to protect their entire clan.
With a scream, Huangfu Dao Ming’s hands were severed in front of everyone.
"The Situ family is under my protection. If you wish to harm them, you must pass me first."
"This is the second warning, and it will be the last."
Qin Han Chu said coldly.
The Sea Transport Old Ancestor, having lost his previous arrogance, could only bow his head and nod, "Understood!"
"Disperse!" Qin Han Chu turned to the three old ancestors of the Xiao family and said.
The three old ancestors of the Xiao family quickly suppressed their inner shock and nodded, then left.
Although they knew Qin Han Chu was a strong late-stage Grandmaster, they had not expected him to be able to facilitate breakthroughs for peak Grandmasters.
By staying by Qin Han Chu’s side, their respective families would surely become increasingly prosperous.
After the three left, Qin Han Chu said to Prince Zhong and the Fifth Princess, "Your Highnesses, is this outcome acceptable?"
The Fifth Princess smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Qin Han Chu had initially intended to kill the Sea Transport Old Ancestor, but with the royal family present, they would never permit the death of a Grandmaster.
Any Grandmaster was important to the Great Yan Kingdom.
It was precisely because he understood the royal family's intentions that Qin Han Chu changed his mind.
In fact, the Swordsman Old Ancestor had also arrived.
However, his identity was somewhat sensitive, which was why Qin Han Chu had temporarily arranged for Old Ghost and the other to break through.
If the Sea Transport Old Ancestor dared to play any more tricks, Qin Han Chu would ensure he died without anyone knowing.
"We're leaving now. See you at school."
With that, Qin Han Chu prepared to depart.
Seeing this, the Fifth Princess quickly said, "Let’s have a meal together. My treat."
"I have other matters to attend to. Perhaps another time."
Qin Han Chu was well aware of the Fifth Princess’s intentions and did not wish to engage in pleasantries with her.
Soon, Qin Han Chu and his entourage departed from the Huangfu family.
"Running away quite fast. I've got you in my sights," the Fifth Princess thought to herself, watching the direction Qin Han Chu had left.
"Little Five, we should return as well," Prince Zhong said.
The Fifth Princess nodded; she needed to return and report this matter to her father, the Emperor.
As the Fifth Princess and Prince Zhong departed, the other important figures also dispersed one by one.
The events of today were truly astonishing. The title of Champion Marquis would soon spread throughout the entire martial arts world.
