Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Two Islands

Phew!

Su Manman stepped out from the void, her gaze towards the house filled with tenderness.

"This guy really knows how to make people worry, making Missy here rush all the way from the Medicine Garden to dig up a Dark Cloud Stem for him."

"Still, it’s just Spiritual Medicine. We have plenty at home, and nobody cared when I dug it up. Otherwise, if daddy found out I snuck out again, he’d surely punish me and confine me to my quarters."

"Stinky guy, hasn’t seen me for so many days, doesn’t even say he misses me, and is still making eyes at that Nine Serenities Frozen Physique girl."

"Should I send her away?"

"Never mind, the stinky guy wants to build his own forces and needs all the help he can get. Let’s turn a blind eye this time."

"I wanted to leave on purpose for a while to make this guy miss Missy here, but it seems he’s living quite comfortably!"

"Observe a little longer first, see how things go."

...

In the room, Shi Hao suddenly emerged from his cultivation state.

He was surprised because he felt a strong sense of resentment.

What’s going on?

He shivered, shook his head, and then continued to cultivate.

Boom, with the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture extracting energy from the Dark Cloud Stem, Shi Hao’s body erupted like tumultuous waves. In the Sea of Suffering, the first Soul Island was rapidly expanding, and the Nine-Color Soul Seed sat cross-legged, continually driving the expansion of the Soul Island.

After half of the medicinal power had been refined, Shi Hao found that the expansion of the Soul Island had slowed down, and next steps were laborious.

It seemed as if the entire Sea of Suffering was fighting against him, preventing the expansion of the Soul Island.

In theory, once the Soul Island was formed, as long as the Soul Seed rested enough, it could continue to traverse the Sea of Suffering, moving towards the realm of the Second Island.

But such a second island was essentially useless; the Soul Island might even be submerged by the Sea of Suffering, leading to a fall in realm and no chance of rise again.

However, when almost reaching the limit of one island, most people would stop; instead of struggling to expand the Soul Island just a little bit, it made more sense to step directly into the next phase.

But Shi Hao was different; he strove for perfection.

Therefore, he continued to stimulate the Soul Seed, pushing the expansion of the Soul Island.

Bigger by a fraction, then another fraction, Shi Hao felt neither joy nor anger; he only pushed for the expansion of the Soul Island.

If it were anyone else, at this point, no matter how strong their will was, they could only sigh in frustration, for the Soul Seed had limited strength.

But Shi Hao was different; he had the Nine-Color Soul Seed, which was far stronger than ordinary Soul Seeds.

So, the Soul Island continued to expand, albeit slowly.

This lasted a day and a night.

Shi Hao had finally reached his limit; even the Soul Seed Puppet could no longer withstand the oppressive force of the Soul Sea.

One island, Peak.

Good, assault the Second Island.

The Nine-Color Soul Seed immediately took off from the edge of the Soul Island, crossing towards the Other Shore.

This crossing took another half a day.

The Nine-Color Soul Seed was completely drained and had to stop, and instantly, with Shi Hao’s understanding of nature as a basis, the ocean tides rose, creating an island from the seabed, providing a foothold for the Soul Seed.

There was still a bit less than half of the Dark Cloud Stem left. Shi Hao continued to extract its essence, nourishing himself.

Before long, the energy within the Dark Cloud Stem was finally depleted, and Shi Hao halted his cultivation.

Two islands!

Shi Hao sensed his own power; his Soul Power was formidable, provoking a hint of a smile on his face.

Now, he was completely confident in defeating Shi Taiyan head-on without having to use too many trump cards.

Calculate the time... Damn, it’s today.

Shi Hao hurriedly set out, just as he stepped out the door, he saw Han Dong waiting for him outside.

"Boss, if you don’t feel like fighting, we can just slip away now," the chubby guy said.

"Is that all the ambition you’ve got?"

Shi Hao shook his head, "What are you talking about, come on, let’s go take care of that Shi Taiyan."

"Boss, you need to take it easy." Han Dong touched his buttocks, which these past few days had been whipped by Han Liren whenever he was idle. Others might think he was in the old man’s good graces, but who knew his buttocks were almost whipped raw.

Shi Hao smiled, "Let’s go."

Seeing his confidence, Han Dong had no choice but to follow.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at the city’s central square.

The square was vast, paved with white jade bricks, and now a stage had been set up in the middle with many people surrounding it, all showing signs of impatience.

It’s been so long, why hasn’t Shi Hao arrived yet?

"Could he be scared?"

"Definitely, you know his opponent is Shi Taiyan!"

"Knowing he will be defeated, why come and make a fool of himself?"

"Right, unless he’s an idiot!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, as the Four Great Geniuses had high prestige and popularity in Jiuwu City, and were the best among the young generation, so how could they possibly lose?

——If Shi Hao were in his thirties, they might think he had a slim chance of winning, but Shi Hao was younger than Shi Taiyan, so there was no way he could win.

"Yo, look fast, this youngster is quite handsome!"

"Is there really someone this good-looking in the world?"

"Damn, it’s Shi Hao!"

"Ah!"

The crowd stirred, and many of their faces turned red.

They had just said Shi Hao wouldn’t possibly come, but in the blink of an eye, they were proven wrong.

After Shi Hao passed, the crowd parted to form a pathway for him.

Soon, Shi Hao had reached the foot of the stage.

On the stage, a young man was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, as if he was gathering his energy.

As the noise from the crowd reached him, he opened his eyes all at once, sharp as knives and swords, too fierce for ordinary people to meet his gaze.

"You’re here," he said indifferently.

"I’m here," Shi Hao nodded.

"Kneel down now, sever one arm and one leg yourself, and I might spare you from death," Shi Taiyan said, with a calm tone yet exuding an authoritative air.

Shi Hao laughed, "You talk a big game. It’ll be pretty embarrassing for you when I’m rubbing your face in the dirt later."

"That’s not a funny joke!" Shi Taiyan shook his head, "Since you’re so stubbornly foolish, then get up here, I’ll teach you a lesson."

"Hold on," Shi Hao waved his hand, "I’m not as free as you, time is precious to me. If you want to challenge me, you’d better offer up something that piques my interest, otherwise why would I waste my time beating you up?"

This!

The crowd was showing their teeth, thinking Shi Hao was truly arrogant.

That was Shi Taiyan, one of the Four Great Geniuses, there were countless people in Jiuwu City who dreamt of defeating them and taking their place.

Unfortunately, several years had passed and the status of the Four Great Geniuses remained as solid as ever, without any contenders.

What makes you think you can?

Shi Taiyan couldn’t help but chuckle, "That’s quite the lame excuse for chickening out."

"Just answer me," Shi Hao laughed too, "do you have any Spiritual Medicine to put up as a prize?"

"Fine!" Shi Taiyan took out a jade box and flashed it towards Shi Hao, "This is a Jade Vitality Fruit, if you can beat me, it’s yours."

Whoosh, Shi Hao jumped onto the stage.

Damn, you’re just too pragmatic.
