Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 201 - Spirit Stone Player
Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Spirit Stone Player Chapter 201 -201 Spirit Stone Player Today, the rematch didn’t start; it’s been scheduled for tomorrow.
However, after conducting the age tests, they also divided the thirty-two victorious contestants into groups, so now everyone knows who their opponent will be tomorrow and, if they win, who they might face the day after.
Shi Hao’s opponent tomorrow will be that little fatty who won by releasing Spirit Stones, and if he gets past this one—which he undoubtedly will—his opponent the day after will be Ceng Song.
In the eyes of others, Shi Hao is having a run of bad luck.
Otherwise, with his strength to reach five steps, it would be very possible for him to make it into the top four or even the finals. But now, he’s running into Ceng Song early, which means his journey will surely end here.
He’s a super genius, isn’t Ceng Song one as well?
But upon further thought, this competition for selecting talented youths is actually for the Lu Family to pick talents. So, as long as one shines, whether you win the championship or not doesn’t really matter; the big shots of the Lu Family will surely take notice.
As for Xiao Hei, he naturally also emerged victorious from the elimination battles, and he’s been placed in a different bracket. So, if he wants to meet Shi Hao, it could only happen in the finals.
Given his Soul Nurturing cultivation and a combat power of up to four steps, if he could make it to the finals, it could only be said to be good luck, as all the strong contestants have been placed in Shi Hao’s bracket.
Shi Hao couldn’t care less. He and Xiao Hei went to a restaurant for a meal first, then packed some leftovers to bring back for the big yellow dog, not expecting to be met with the dog’s disdainful gaze, as if the lordly animal refused to eat leftovers.
Damn it, Shi Hao tossed the leftovers outside, and yet the big yellow dog scurried out and ate them eagerly and deliciously.
A truly shameless creature, without a doubt.
A night passed and Shi Hao practiced as usual. After refining a Ginseng Spirit Pill, he was only one step away from the fourth step.
Tomorrow, he should be able to break through.
Shi Hao felt both satisfied and dissatisfied. The breakthrough to the fourth step was close, but what about after the fourth step?
Although he was not short on Spirit Stones now, cultivating with Spirit Stones compared to absorbing elixirs like the Ginseng Spirit Pill was not even on the same level of efficiency.
So, where could he find such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures again?
Shi Hao was extremely eager for the advancement of his cultivation.
The immediate threat was the Ceng Family.
He would definitely beat Ceng Song down and push forward, which would inevitably infuriate the Ceng Family—even if the Ceng Family wasn’t initially interested, Ceng Song would certainly seek revenge. With his personality, could he endure it?
Thus, ultimately, he would still have to face the Ceng Family.
The Ceng Family might not be as powerful as the Lu Family, but they still had Other Shore powerhouses sitting in command. If they really made a move against Shi Hao, what could he use to resist?
The key thing was that with Shi Hao’s personality, even knowing it would come to this, he still couldn’t bow his head.
—Worst comes to worst, I’ll just beat them and run away.
But having just gained a foothold on the Eastern Fire Continent, to be chased away in embarrassment so soon was something he couldn’t bear.
Therefore, if he could advance to the Other Shore quickly, he would at least have the basic qualifications to counter the Ceng Family. Besides, with the wondrous Cloud Piercing Step, even if he encountered a Self-Observation expert, he would at least have a means to save his life.
Alas, cultivating is inseparable from elixirs, which are inseparable from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and those depend on the foundation of a power.
Shi Hao set aside the chaotic thoughts and set off with Xiao Hei to the competition arena.
They quickly arrived at the venue. Following the order drawn yesterday, match after match proceeded.
Shi Hao’s match was scheduled as the third, so he didn’t have to wait long before it was his turn.
His opponent, the little fatty, looked at him with a naive expression.
“Brother, let’s make a deal,” the little fatty said earnestly, “I’ll give you ten Spirit Stones if you forfeit willingly. After all, even if you get past me, you definitely won’t stand a chance against Ceng Song in the next round.”
Shi Hao smiled slightly, “How do you know I can’t defeat Ceng Song?”
The little fatty gasped in shock. You sure talk big!
Who is Ceng Song?
One of the three great prodigies, and even more, with a cultivation of five steps, his combat power soared straight to seven steps.
How could you possibly be a match?
“Brother, are you not giving me, Luo Xuan, any face?” The chubby boy’s face darkened.
Shi Hao laughed, “You want me to admit defeat right off the bat, and you’re talking about giving face?”
“Are you going to fight or not?” the referee by their side snapped, “If you don’t engage soon, you’ll both be eliminated!”
Only then did the chubby boy close his mouth, and then with a pained expression, he reached into his bosom and took out a rolled-up piece of beast skin.
Hmm, a Talismanic Soldier?
“This is you forcing my hand!” the chubby boy said, feeling like his heart was bleeding.
Talismanic Soldiers are so expensive!
Shi Hao glanced at the referee, but saw that the official had no intention of stopping anything.
That meant Talismanic Soldiers could be used in the competition.
Wasn’t this severely damaging the fairness of the competition?
Oh, as long as I have money, or family elders to support me, just hand over a Talismanic Soldier of the Other Shore level directly, then who wouldn’t be knocked out in one move?
“Haha, Shi Hao, come on!” After suffering momentarily from the pain, the chubby boy went all out and started shouting loudly, to express his determination to use his Talismanic Soldier.
If that’s the case… Shi Hao also took out a Talismanic Soldier, then another, and yet another, five in total.
He didn’t reveal all of his assets; otherwise, he definitely would have frightened the chubby boy.
Damn!
The chubby boy was suddenly dumbstruck; I only have one Talismanic Soldier, and you actually have five, this is totally crushing.
He still harbored a glimmer of hope, “My Talismanic Soldier is of two-star level!”

It’s not one of those one-star kind that can only be used to scare people.
Shi Hao smiled, “Mine are, too.”
At that, the chubby boy instantly felt deflated, because traditionally, a Martial Artist could only produce a Talismanic Soldier that was one level lower than their own cultivation, and because it was one level lower, the power of the Talismanic Soldier in that realm would definitely be the strongest.
Just like the Talismanic Soldier Luo Qing’er gave to Shi Hao, it was of the Nine Islands level, and even stronger than a typical Nine Islands one.
Therefore, since everyone had two-star Talismanic Soldiers, the power must be more or less the same, so, naturally, the one with more would win.
“I admit defeat,” said the chubby boy dejectedly, a look of depression on his face.
He was the Spirit Stone contestant; anyway, his family was rich, and he could just knock out his opponents with money, but against Shi Hao, he found he couldn’t outspend him, so he had to admit he was outmatched to avoid suffering a beating.
In this battle, Shi Hao won without fighting.
Boos filled the stands; everyone had come to watch a fight, but after all the build-up, it ended just like that, leaving them all deeply unsatisfied.
“Heh heh, it’s going to be miserable tomorrow.”
“His opponent will be Ceng Song.”
“He will definitely be beaten to a pulp!”
“Serves him right!”
Many in the audience expressed their dissatisfaction by cursing, but Shi Hao could hardly care. If he blows up Ceng Song tomorrow, that would be the best counterattack, so why waste words with these people?
Of course, not everyone was cursing him. The female spectators all unilaterally supported Shi Hao; the male god just had to stand there, and they were already blossoming with joy, intoxicated for a long time. Did they even care about the fight?
Naturally, this only made the male spectators dislike Shi Hao even more.
