Lu Jiayi babbled on lengthily before she left disheartened.
Shi Hao naturally knew that Lu Jiayi hadn’t come to ask for his help; by now, who in Sanyuan City didn’t know he was disabled?
Therefore, Lu Jiayi was truly overwhelmed and just wanted to vent.
But Shi Hao didn’t see it that way.

If Lu Jiayi treated him as a friend, he was willing to regard her as one in return.
When a friend is in trouble, do you help or not?
Of course, you help.
The problem was, Luo Qicai was the great-grandson of the Second Elder of the Zhenwu Sect. To kill him would be to make an enemy of Luo Haodian.
Well, that seemed not to be a problem. Couldn’t he just keep his identity hidden?
He secretly strategized.
He was now at the level of Six Steps, his regular combat power enabling him to crush those at Nine Steps, and even if he encountered adversaries from the Other Shore, with the speed of Cloud Piercing Step, he could entirely escape.
So, as long as he didn’t face warriors at the Self-Observation level, his life should not be in danger.
Good, he would then attend that Genius Conference and slay Luo Qicai.
“Are you sticking up for that woman?” Su Manman appeared from nowhere.
“Were you eavesdropping?” Shi Hao retorted.
“Hmph, I just happened to pass by. Who asked that woman to nag so much that it was unbearable!” Su Manman certainly wouldn’t admit she was eavesdropping. Who was she, after all, to resort to eavesdropping?
In recent days, the two had often bickered, and Shi Hao had begun to grasp her thoughts, and with his intelligence, he knew not to repeat his past mistakes.
“I do indeed intend to kill Luo Qicai,” Shi Hao nodded.
“I forbid you to go!” Su Manman stated indignantly, even giving Shi Hao a disdainful glance.
That woman is not even beautiful, why do you care so much?
I’m angry now!
Shi Hao smiled, “I’m not doing it for Lu Jiayi. I just can’t stand Luo Qicai, daring to call himself a young king right in front of me. Doesn’t he know that I am, in fact?”
Though his words were arrogant, they made Su Manman smile gleefully.
“Good, I support you!” Her mood instantly improved, “I despise those villains who forcefully take women! Slaughter him!”
Shi Hao inwardly sighed, the same act, but with different phrasing, could lead to entirely different outcomes.
He had Xiao Hei gather some information, and indeed, Luo Qicai would be hosting the Genius Conference in two days.
It was really just a farce, inviting the young generation from the Lu Family, Tian Family, and Ceng Family to come and compete in martial prowess.
You should know, Luo Qicai was a member of the Zhenwu Sect, who would dare to offend him?
Even someone like Tian Hua, also from the Nine Islands, would definitely concede intentionally when facing Luo Qicai.
After all, it was just a nominal title. Who would want to make an enemy of the Zhenwu Sect over it?
Knowing this and still holding the Genius Conference was nothing but sheer shamelessness on Luo Qicai’s part.
Two days passed and Shi Hao went alone.
Unfortunately, it also began to drizzle.
Shi Hao carried an umbrella and wore a bamboo hat to conceal his appearance.
He walked and soon arrived at the venue of the Genius Conference.
Originally this place was a square, but now several platforms had been erected around it, each one furnished with tables and chairs for people to rest and drink tea, while the square was open to the public, allowing the entire city to come and watch.
Luo Qicai really was exceedingly vain.
Though it was raining, it didn’t delay the “grand event”. When Shi Hao arrived, the so-called Genius Conference had already started, but Luo Qicai hadn’t come on stage yet. He was the star of this event, so of course, he wouldn’t show up too early.
The prelude must be sufficient, for only then would the climax be thrilling enough.
Shi Hao knew this, which is why he deliberately left home a bit later; he didn’t want to waste time.
One pair after another took their turns to spar, each with wins and losses. When Tian Hua stepped up, he defeated ten opponents in a row, demonstrating strong dominance.
Being from the Nine Islands and able to fight across two levels, he could have been a True Disciple in a Great Sect, hardly inferior to Lu Yun. Therefore, he did not need anyone to go easy on him.
After his tenth consecutive victory, he called out to the highest platform, “Young Master Luo, I would like to spar with you.”
“Alright!” a voice came from the high platform, then a young man, looking nearly thirty, leapt down.
This was Luo Qicai.
“I will let you make three moves,” Luo Qicai said proudly.
“Then thank you, Young Master Luo,” Tian Hua said, expressing his gratitude, and then he attacked Luo Qicai.
Clearly not exerting his full strength, Luo Qicai effortlessly dodged the three moves before he began to counterattack.
At that moment, Tian Hua also got serious.
It must be said, Luo Qicai was quite strong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent by Luo Haodian to oversee everything here. His abilities were no weaker than Tian Hua’s, but winning was not going to be easy.
However, if Luo Qicai was difficult to defeat, did that mean Tian Hua would let him win?
Within a hundred moves, Tian Hua intentionally exposed a vulnerability and Luo Qicai landed a heavy blow on his shoulder, causing him to stagger back.
Damn!
Tian Hua cursed inwardly. He had intentionally let Luo Qicai hit him, but his opponent had not held back, making the hit extremely painful.
But could he openly complain?
He could only grit his teeth and swallow this bitter pill.
Not only that, but he also had to show an admiring demeanor, saying, “Thank you, Young Master Luo, for showing mercy; otherwise, I would have been seriously injured.”
Luo Qicai waved his hand, appearing indifferent.
Tian Hua then called out, “I propose that we proclaim Young Master Luo as the king of the younger generation in Sanyuan City, the number one master of the Soul Nurturing realm. What do you all think?”
“Well deserved!”
“He truly earns it!”
Suddenly, many people began shouting out, all obviously planted by the Lu, Tian, and Ceng families.
Luo Qicai even pretended to be modest, saying, “Where, where, there are many talented individuals in the world, how can I deserve such a title?”
“Young Master Luo, there’s no need for humility.”
“Right, if you are not the first, who else qualifies?”
“Young Master Luo!”
“Young Master Luo!”
The crowd became boisterous, loudly shouting.
Only then did Luo Qicai reluctantly show a constrained expression, saying, “Since everyone says so—”
“Did they say you are shameless?” someone suddenly interjected.
Instantly, the whole place fell silent.
Who was that bold? Although it was indeed the stark truth.
Swish, everyone’s gaze instantly turned towards the source of the voice, only to see the person was wearing a broad-brimmed hat, which obscured his face.
“Such audacity, to be so presumptuous in front of Young Master Luo!” Immediately, someone leapt down from the high platform and charged towards Shi Hao.
This was a young man from the Lu family, named Lu Xing.
Eager to ingratiate himself with Luo Qicai, he was the first to jump out and attack Shi Hao.
In just a few steps, he reached Shi Hao and leapt up high, then his right leg swung down, striking hard at Shi Hao.
This stance, tsk.
Shi Hao casually folded up his umbrella and then angled it upwards.
