Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Battle Again

A hundred breaths!

Shi Hao finally felt he had reached his limit.

In fact, he had already crossed several limits, reviving the Soul Seed even when it was completely exhausted and pushing it vigorously forward.

But after all, there was a degree to this.

Shi Hao believed that the distance his Soul Seed had covered was truly enough.

Good, time to form the island.

He absorbed the Power of Heaven and Earth, and immediately a small island rose from the bottom of the Sea of Suffering. His Soul Seed immediately plunged onto it, as if it had died.

Exhausted to the extreme, how could it not be tired?

The small island was expanding. At first, the expansion was rapid, but it didn’t take long for the speed to slow down before finally stabilizing.

This Soul Island could still continue to expand—next, the process of cultivating one island was to strengthen this Soul Island. The larger the Soul Island, the further the Soul Seed could fly across the Sea of Suffering the next time, thereby expanding the Sea of Suffering even more.

There is no standard for the size of a Soul Island. It varies from person to person; some are large, some are small. The higher the realm, the more apparent the gap becomes between geniuses and ordinary people.

Boom, the Power of Heaven and Earth infused, and Shi Hao’s strength and spirit surged in an instant.

The Other Shore established, one island!

Luo Jian’s attack came to an abrupt halt, and he stared at Shi Hao with an extremely complicated expression.

Despite his interference, Shi Hao had actually managed to break through!

And this was not a small increase in a minor realm but a qualitative change in a major realm.

My God, what kind of monster is this?

He considered himself a genius and had always been proud of it, but compared to Shi Hao, the gap was simply indescribable.

Driven mad by envy, Luo Jian brandished his silver spear, thrusting, jabbing, pressing, and sweeping with all his might, adopting a posture determined to blast Shi Hao to smithereens.

Shi Hao brandished the Ninefold Mountain and met Luo Jian head-on.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out, deafening everyone present so that the entire world seemed filled with nothing but a thunderous roar, with no other sound remaining.

Visible to the naked eye, a shockwave radiated from the point where the knife and spear collided, spreading in all directions.

Shi Hao gritted his teeth, feeling a forceful energy rebounding, making his palms feel as if they were about to split.

Fortunately, his physique was strong enough to withstand it, although the knife’s handle jumped around as if it would fly out of his hand.

Indeed, if it was a pure comparison of strength, he was far behind, at best comparable to someone with six islands.

He was only shocked for a moment, but Luo Jian was going insane.

He didn’t have a physique as formidable as Shi Hao’s. Struck by the heavy weapon that was Ninefold Mountain, his palms immediately burst open, blood oozing out.

This strike made him realize that Shi Hao’s strength was still far beneath his own, but damn it, his opponent’s physique was freakishly strong. In a head-on collision, even though he had an overwhelming advantage in strength, he was the one who suffered a slight loss.

How could he accept this?

It’s all because of that knife!

Luo Jian stared intently at the Ninefold Mountain in Shi Hao’s hands. It was too heavy. When it collided with his weapon, it felt like a mountain had crashed into him, a terrifying sensation.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" His eyes turned bloodshot as he thrust with his spear again. What did a split palm matter? It didn’t affect his combat power in the slightest.

In terms of combat power, he still had an overwhelming advantage over Shi Hao, and he refused to believe he couldn’t kill this man!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh, spear thrusts shot out, not only incredibly chilling but also accompanied by streaks of Gold Element light shooting towards Shi Hao.

He harnessed the Elemental Power, and this is the true strength of a higher-order Martial Artist.

Shi Hao chuckled, "Watch your dog eyes!"

What?

Luo Jian’s eyebrows twitched, daring to insult him?

Whoosh, at that moment, two beams of light shot from Shi Hao’s eyes, thin as chopsticks, yet solid beyond measure.

How fast is the speed of light?

By the time you see it, the light has already shone over.

"Ah!" Luo Jian let out a muffled groan as the beams, aimed straight at his eyes, dazzled intensely and, due to their solidity, formed a terrifying destructive force, scorching his eyes.

Fortunately, he had always been on guard against Shi Hao’s lightning strikes, with the Gold Element always spread across his body. Therefore, these two beams were somewhat blocked; otherwise, they might have blinded both his eyes.

Even so, he had to stop his attack, protect his face with his left hand, and hold his spear with one hand, adopting a defensive posture.

Damn it!

The onlooking crowd was also stunned.

All "knew" that Shi Hao had a Dual Spirit Root, a talent rare among millions, so no one would have imagined that Shi Hao could also use a third type of Elemental Power, even though it was always considered the most useless Light Spirit Root.

Triple Spirit Root!

And, he had managed to develop a terrifying power from the Light Spirit Root, nearly blinding Luo Jian with a single strike.

Strong, truly strong!

The crowd couldn’t help but be impressed. Although Shi Hao was not as strong as Luo Jian in head-to-head combat, his various methods were just too many. So far, only Luo Jian seemed to be losing.

If they hadn’t witnessed Shi Hao’s breakthrough to the Other Shore, how could they believe he was just a novice from Soul Island?

Shi Hao laughed heartily and threw a feigned punch.

This time, he could use his Dark Force without any concerns.

Boom, the punch was thrown, merging the flames and thunder, two kinds of Elemental Power, into a gigantic fist that smashed fiercely toward Luo Jian.

Although Luo Jian’s vision was affected, he was still a genius of the Nine Islands, intuitively sensing the punch’s approach, he immediately swung his spear to disperse the force of the punch.

Speaking of sheer strength, he was still the stronger, there was no question about it.

Shi Hao didn’t care and continued to shift positions, bombarding Luo Jian with feigned Dark Force punches.

At the same time, with a thought, Zzzt, thunder densely enveloped Luo Jian, striking furiously toward him.

Luo Jian was suddenly overwhelmed.

Though he wrapped himself with Elemental Power, he couldn’t discern where Shi Hao’s attacks were coming from. Thus, he had to defend on all fronts, while Shi Hao only needed to strike at a single point. Their energy expenditure was absolutely not on the same level.

Second, now that Shi Hao had employed the Dark Force, Luo Jian had to use forceful energy for defense; Elemental Power couldn’t block pure strength—of course, this was relative. For instance, if you could ignite the Heaven-Scorching Flame, then whatever attack comes your way would simply melt.

Unable to see, he was extremely passive, only able to receive blows without being able to fight back. Naturally, this put him under immense pressure.

The key point was, he was the top genius of the Purple Star Sect. Not only had he failed to defeat Shi Hao, he was actually being suppressed by his opponent, which was a source of great shame for him.

How embarrassing, it was too embarrassing!

Luo Jian gritted his teeth, and now his vision had somewhat recovered, he prepared to strike again.

Whoosh, just as he moved, two beams of light shot toward him, once again aiming directly at his eyes.

This time, Luo Jian piled most of his Elemental Power on his eyes, finally withstanding the beams. Carrying boundless anger, he thrust his spear at Shi Hao.

This strike gathered all his strength and anger.
