Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 202 - - Adding Fuel to the Fire

Chapter 202: Chapter 202 – Adding Fuel to the Fire Chapter 202 -202 – Adding Fuel to the Fire Xiao Hei also successfully advanced to the top sixteen.

His opponent was actually at the Soul Nurturing Peak of the third step, but under Xiao Hei’s fierce swordsmanship, he ultimately could only admit defeat.

This naturally caused another huge sensation.

—Sanyuan City had actually produced a fifth super prodigy! And he was even able to cross three small realms, even more awesome than Lu Yun!

On the viewing platform, Zhong Huan’s face was green with envy.

This was originally his little brother, but previously he only thought he was a bit strange; strong in combat, so he kept him by his side. He had never expected that after a breakthrough in Soul Nurturing, he would become so fierce!

He regretted it, such a genius was easily swayed by Shi Hao.

Fortunately, Shi Hao’s next opponent was Ceng Song, and that guy had dared to compete with Ceng Song for a woman. He was definitely destined to be beaten to death, and he could still take Xiao Hei back.

…

That night, Lu Jiayi made a special trip to the Ceng Family.

Regarding her visit, Ceng Song was naturally overjoyed.

He had been pursuing Lu Jiayi all along, and the Ceng Family fully supported this, as it would greatly benefit them if the two were to marry, aligning with the Ceng Family’s interests.

The pity was that Lu Jiayi had always been focused on family business and had been indifferent to Ceng Song’s pursuit.

Therefore, now that Lu Jiayi was suddenly visiting, not only was Ceng Song happy, the entire Ceng Family was excited as well.

“Jiayi!” Ceng Song specially tidied himself before he came out to meet Lu Jiayi.

Lu Jiayi nodded. Although she didn’t like him calling her by her name, she couldn’t be bothered to correct him today.

“I have a favor to ask of you,” she stated her purpose directly.

Ceng Song smiled and said, “If you need something, just send a servant or call me over, no need for you to come all the way!”

Lu Jiayi pretended not to catch his implication, “Tomorrow in the match against Shi Hao, please don’t hurt him.”

What, what?

Ceng Song’s smile froze instantly.

In fact, beforehand, he hadn’t believed that Lu Jiayi would have any relationship with Shi Hao because, according to the information he received, after he warned Shi Hao, the two hadn’t seen each other again.

This was also why he hadn’t troubled Shi Hao, although the kid was somewhat presumptuous, which displeased him.

But he was busy with his cultivation, and if he had to deal with every Tom, Dick, and Harry, wouldn’t he be busy to death?

However, now that Lu Jiayi had specifically come to request him to show mercy to Shi Hao, didn’t this confirmed it?

Motherfucker!

He had been cuckolded.

With effort, Ceng Song squeezed out a smile and said, “Since you, Jiayi, have spoken, I will certainly not let you down!”

He emphasized the word “disappointment,” having resolved that in tomorrow’s match against Shi Hao, he would eliminate his opponent for good, cutting off all of Lu Jiayi’s hopes.

Although this would make her hate him for a while, time can heal all.

Lu Jiayi received a satisfying response and quickly took her leave.

Ceng Song stood woodenly, his fists clenched so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh, drawing blood, yet he seemed to feel nothing.

“Shi Hao, you must die!” he stated grimly.

…

Lu Jiayi didn’t know that her well-intentioned attempt to help Shi Hao had instead ignited Ceng Song’s murderous intent.

In her eyes, Shi Hao was a prodigious Pill Master, already commanding immense respect from Qi Yingpeng, how boundless could his future prospects be?

But she didn’t realize that Lu Xiu had already been fanning the flames, and her visit today had simply detonated the powder keg.

On the other hand, what Ceng Song thought was of little concern to Shi Hao.

Early next morning, Shi Hao held the Ginseng Spirit Pill, circulating the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.

Humm, under the power of the nine revolutions, he had touched the bottleneck of the third step; in his Soul Sea, the Soul Seed Puppet underwent intense transformation, changing from gold to green.

Fourth step Soul Nurturing.

The Golden Thread on the Soul Seed Puppet’s body also became four strands, doubling the binding force compared to the third step, constantly restraining the Soul Seed Puppet.

However, even with Shi Hao’s strength, this was still a trivial matter.

“Breaking the Extreme and Soul Nurturing, the initial few small realms are quite easy to traverse, which should be due to my cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.”

“The difficulty lies in breaking through the limits!”

Shi Hao had tasted the benefits of breaking through limits. Not only had Breaking the Extreme bestowed upon him terrifying over-level combat power, but also special methods like Dark Force.

So what if he could also break through the limits of Soul Nurturing?

— If Breaking the Extreme has ten levels, why can’t Soul Nurturing have ten steps?

Regrettably, he was still far from reaching the ninth step.

Shi Hao and Xiao Hei set off for the third time to the competition arena.

Today there were only eight matches, and as for Shi Hao…he was scheduled for the last one.

It couldn’t be helped. Ceng Song was the hot favorite of this competition; he was certainly allotted the last slot to appear.

Xiao Hei’s fight was moved up to the first match. His remarkable performance yesterday had drawn the attention of many significant individuals.

In this match, he fought bitterly but lost.

No one would blame him because his opponent was a five-step Soul Nurturing expert, and even so, Xiao Hei was always on the offensive, until his strength was exhausted. Only then did he allow his opponent to counterattack, which inevitably led to his defeat.

An honorable defeat.

After his thrilling battle, the subsequent fights seemed utterly tasteless, and following an anxious half-day wait, the last match—which everyone was eagerly anticipating—was finally about to begin.

Shi Hao against Ceng Song.

The two entered the competition field from different passages, standing opposite each other, five zhang apart.

“Begin!” the judge shouted, waving his hand.

Ceng Song wasn’t in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he stared at Shi Hao, his eyes revealing a chilling murderous intent.

He stepped forward, lowering his voice, “You shouldn’t have coveted my woman!”

What? When did I covet your woman?

Besides, when did Lu Jiayi become your woman?

Moreover, he was always the one being coveted.

How unjustly accused!

“You’re out of your mind,” he shook his head.

Ceng Song grew even angrier, unable to contain himself any longer, and immediately charged at Shi Hao.

In this competition, Talismanic Soldiers were not forbidden, and naturally, weapons weren’t either. Ceng Song drew a knife and slashed towards Shi Hao.

Bang, the blade was engulfed in mighty flames, enhancing its ferocity.

He was a Fire Attribute Martial Artist, and the weapon in his hand was also a Fire Attribute Spiritual Artifact. Connected with his Soul Power, it created a perfect resonance, allowing Ceng Song to summon the Fire Element to adhere to the blade.

A slash came down, and the terrifying flames surged.

Shi Hao was unfazed. As he clenched his fists, he first layered them with forceful energy, which could counter sharp weapons. Then, fire blazed, fighting fire with fire.

Bring it on!

He leaped forward, facing off against the Spiritual Artifact with his bare hands.

“Damn, this guy wants to die?”

“Catching a Spiritual Artifact with bare hands, has he gone mad!”

“Moreover, Ceng Song’s combat power is at the seven-step level—Holy crap!”

People were still discussing fervently, but then they witnessed a scene that left them shocked.

With a punch from Shi Hao, Ceng Song was forced back step by step, his face turning scarlet, then turning the color of a liver.

“Wow!” Ceng Song spat out fresh blood.

In fact, he didn’t have to sustain such severe injuries, but out of pride, he wanted to forcefully resist Shi Hao’s power. The consequence of such stubbornness was that not only was he still pushed back, but his insides were also shaken up, causing him to vomit blood continuously.

The entire venue fell into silence.
