"Chu Hao?"
"You've actually become a Star Master?"
"Inconceivable!"
The seven Star Masters were all crying out in shock, this was too astonishing. Chu Hao was only how many years old, and the time he had stepped into the War God realm was nothing compared to theirs, yet now he was suddenly just like them, having reached the rank of a Star Master.
Chu Hao smiled and said, "My fellow seniors, I trust you have been well!"
"There's no need to call us seniors anymore. Since we are all Star Masters, let's address each other as equals," the seven said, shaking their heads with profound emotion. They wondered what those veteran War Gods would feel upon seeing Chu Hao - they were still marking time, whereas Chu Hao had become a Star Master, and now they would have to address him as lord in return.
This was the rule in martial arts, unless they were close kin, respect was based on strength.
