The reason is very simple, it's the hammer resting on her shoulder!
Chu Hao didn't know what material it was made of, but the hammer was about a meter long and as thick as two men, with a handle more than three meters long and as thick as a child's arm. Even if it were made of pure iron, it should weigh at least 500 catties. No wonder it made such a loud noise when it hit the ground.
It's hard to imagine that such a charming-looking woman would use such a hefty weapon!
——Having the strength of 500 catties and wielding such a heavy weapon are two entirely different things; this woman must possess at least 5000 catties of strength, or even 10,000 wouldn't be surprising!
So domineering!
Thud!
The martially clad woman casually placed her hammer on the ground, shaking it once more, then turned to look at Chu Hao, exuding an overwhelming pressure as she said, "Why are you still standing there, are you afraid I'll eat your food for nothing?"
Chu Hao smiled, drew his sword and cut off two rabbit legs, tossing them over to her.
The woman caught them nonchalantly, not caring about the grease, and laughed heartily, "Using such a dainty weapon, can you even qualify as a man?"
Compared to her hammer, other than a few limited weapons like long spears and battle axes, everything else could only be considered 'small fry,' right? Some people truly can't be judged by their covers; this woman has a sizzling hot body, very sexy, yet she turns out to be a tomboy, a female Tyrannosaurus.
You need to say the right thing to the right person, and Chu Hao just laughed it off, saying, "As long as I can still stand to pee, then I'm a man!"
If he had said this to Lin Yuqi, that woman would definitely blush and then secretly harbour murderous thoughts. And if he said it to Liu Wei, she would surely roar like a lioness! But this tomboy before him just laughed it off without caring.
She took big bites of the meat and even pulled a flask of wine out of her backpack, gulped it down, and then wiped her mouth with her hand, displaying her boldness. She said, "You're not bad, I like that your eyes aren't lecherous, not like some men who either stare at my chest or sneak peeks!"
This is what a female tomboy is all about, what's shyness?
Chu Hao laughed as well, saying, "Maybe I'm just good at hiding it?"
"You think just because I'm straightforward, I'm easy to deceive?" the tomboy retorted. "But no matter what kind of man, if he dares to make a move on me, I'll let him taste the power of the Great Yuan Hammer!"
Chu Hao couldn't help but glance at the hammer. If hit by that big fellow, could a ferocious beast of the Middle Mahayana realm stand it?
"My name is Fu Xue, and you?" the tomboy asked.
Fu Xue!
She is the other super talent who passed through the Ten Heavy Gates? It's unexpected that a genius of such calibre turned out to be a true tomboy!
Ranked 22nd in the Heavenly Court of the Western Faction!
However, Chu Hao heard from Tang Xin that Fu Xue is seriously underestimated. This pure tomboy, a violent freak on the martial path, has exceptional talent and the potential to become a grandmaster. Her ranking as number 22 was decided half a year ago. Now... she could at least be in the top five and it's not impossible for her to vie for the first place in another half a year!
Moreover, the Fu Family is an old noble family in Eastern Cloud City with a history dating back over five hundred years!
No wonder her aura is so astonishing!
"I'm Chu Hao, from the Earthly Institute of the Eastern Sect!" Chu Hao replied with a smile.
"That name sounds familiar!" Fu Xue appeared thoughtful, and after a while, she exclaimed, "Ah, I remember now – you're that idiot! Eh, you're from Earthly Institute? Someone from the Earthly Institute daring to go out alone... Are you extremely bold, or just really stupid?"
"Why can't it be because I'm strong enough?" Chu Hao answered with a laugh.
"Haha!" Fu Xue laughed heartily. A stunning beauty, she showed not even a trace of femininity. She sized up Chu Hao and said, "I can't tell at all!"
That was brutally direct, not sparing any feelings.
Chu Hao wasn't troubled by it; after all, he had just entered the Lesser Mahayana realm and his strength indeed was low. But being weak now doesn't mean he would always remain so. Just one and a half months earlier he was just an ordinary 17-year-old, but now he possessed the strength of 1500 catties. How many people could match such rate of improvement?
"Senior Sister Fu, are you heading back to the academy?" Chu Hao asked.
"Yes, I received some fake news, went on a trip to an ancient cave but found nothing – it was full of traps and nothing else... It had been looted at least decades ago!" Fu Xue spoke with evident annoyance.
Chu Hao had every reason to believe that whoever had provided her with that news was in for bad luck!
Fu Xue channeled her anger into appetite, devouring the two rabbit legs in no time. That said, although this rabbit was quite plump, it wasn't enough even for Chu Hao alone. For a high-level expert like her, it was just a little snack to fill a gap between her teeth.
She took a bundle out of her bag, wrapped in paper – it was dried meat. She tossed a piece to Chu Hao and started to gnaw on another piece herself. At this point, her eating became much more refined.
"Eat just a little, this is meat from a Great Mahayana realm ferocious beast, too much of it and you'll burst!" she warned.
Chu Hao nodded, no wonder the tomboy suddenly became so civilized in her eating; that explained it. He also tore off a piece and started chewing.
It tasted awful!
Not counting the excessive saltiness, it was chewy like leather, impossible to break down! No wonder Fu Xue had asked for rabbit meat earlier; even if the meat of a prized beast was valuable, it tasted pretty bad.
With great effort, Chu Hao managed to chew it up and swallowed it down.

However, the effect was immediate!
A surge of warmth flowed through his body, filling him with strength.
It was truly the meat of a Great Mahayana realm ferocious beast!
"Senior Sister, another piece!" Chu Hao said.
"You're really not shy, are you? I don't have much of this level of ferocious beast meat either!" Fu Xue said with dissatisfaction, but she still threw another piece to Chu Hao.
Chu Hao smiled and said, "Consider it a loan; I'll pay you back tenfold in the future!"
Fu Xue laughed loudly and said, "If you can provide me with ten times this amount of ferocious beast meat every day, I'm willing to marry you!"
"No, thank you; you eat too much, I wouldn't dare to take you!" Chu Hao waved his hand and said.
The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.
Neither of them saw the other as a man or a woman; instead, there was no barrier between them, and they began to chat about everything under the sun, quickly becoming as close as could be.
"Fu! Xue!" An angry voice suddenly came over.
Chu Hao turned his head to look and saw that the person was a young lady around eighteen or nineteen, incredibly beautiful with a curvaceous figure that was exceedingly tempting, possessing a chest that quivered enticingly as if to provoke criminal impulses.
However, the beauty was clearly furious right now, her eyes fixed on Fu Xue with a long, shining sword in her hand, looking like she could spew fire out of her anger.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's you. Why are you still following me around like a bad penny?" Fu Xue just glanced up before continuing to eat her dried meat, then introduced her to Chu Hao, "Her name is Luo Zixian, from Yue City's Poplar Academy. Seems like she's kind of skilled!"
"It's not 'seems like'!" Luo Zixian was extremely angry, pointing her sword at Fu Xue and said proudly, "I'm the seventh expert of the Heavenly Court!"
"Oh, the seventh!" Fu Xue nodded indifferently and then looked at her curiously, "Why are you always following me?"
"You have the nerve to ask?" Luo Zixian's face turned red with rage, "You vile woman, have you, have you forgotten what you did to me?"
Chu Hao made a curious face; the term "vile" didn't usually apply to women, especially not to Fu Xue, the Female Tyrannosaurus!
"What did I do?" Fu Xue thought hard for a moment and said uncertainly, "Is it because I grabbed your chest?"
"You still have the face to say it!" Luo Zixian burst with anger, her sword striking furiously while flicking her wrist, which immediately produced seventeen swirling sword blossoms.
Impressive!
Chu Hao immediately thought to himself; although he had only recently started learning the Sword Dao and couldn't be considered an expert, he still had a good eye. He could only produce three sword blossoms at the same time, which made the gap between him and Luo Zixian far too vast!
Indeed, she was the seventh expert from Poplar Academy—and the seventh in the Heavenly Court refers to the entire academy's seventh.
His Derivation ability clearly told him where Luo Zixian's seventeen rapid strikes would hit, but for him, he could at most block three strikes, then dodge another two.
Because his speed of sword drawing and movement technique would only allow him to do so!
In other words, if it were him, he would be defeated in one move! And if his opponent had the intent to kill, she could take him down with a single strike!
This was the gap!
Strength indeed was the most important element for a Martial Artist, the most basic attribute! With strength, attacks were powerful and fast, and movement technique more agile and swift; strength was the foundation of everything!
But... Chu Hao's expression grew more peculiar!
Fu Xue had actually touched Luo Zixian's chest! Did the Female Tyrannosaurus have that kind of preference?
"Hahaha!" Fu Xue laughed heartily, swinging her Great Yuan Hammer in defense while saying innocently, "Your chest is so big, I thought it was fake, so I just wanted to confirm!"
That reason... now Chu Hao also began to feel sorry for Luo Zixian.
"I'm going to kill you!" Luo Zixian, driven mad with anger, brandished her sword fiercely.
Whoosh!
But with Fu Xue's terrifying strength and the sheer weight of the Great Yuan Hammer, she was just like Sun Wukong wielding his Jingu Bang – a touch would wound, a knock would kill. Even if Luo Zixian was the seventh expert of Poplar Academy, she couldn't get close at all.
The Female Tyrannosaurus dared to fight "wildly"; she certainly has real skill!
Chu Hao believed that Poplar Academy should be no less formidable than Thousand Winds Academy, and considering that Thousand Winds Academy was divided into Eastern and Western Factions, if Fu Xue could fight evenly with Luo Zixian, her strength would truly qualify her for the Western Faction's top five!
"I really don't understand what you are so angry about!" Fu Xue said with a face full of impatience, "We're all women here, a touch didn't cost you anything! At worst, I'll let you touch me too!"
"Depraved! Shameless!" Luo Zixian trembled with rage, wielding her sword even more vigorously.
Her strength was definitely strong, and her Sword Dao skills were no ordinary feat; but against the monstrous Fu Xue, it was her great misfortune! The Female Tyrannosaurus seemed to possess endless strength, as the frighteningly heavy Great Yuan Hammer seemed like a mere toy in her hands, effortlessly swinging it around, preventing Luo Zixian from getting anywhere close, forcing her to skitter about beautifully.
