Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Encounter on the Way

Carried by the shockwave of the big explosion, Shi Hao and Su Manman flew out again, drifting toward that third Formation Eye.

It was indeed a time-saving, effortless, and worry-free method; Su Manman only needed to slightly adjust within the Immortal Abode, and they would swiftly fly to their destination, astonishingly fast.

Two days later, the Immortal Abode descended, but this time they were a bit farther from the Formation Eye.

There was no other choice but to travel a bit further.

The two of them exited the Immortal Abode and made their way toward their destination.

After walking for a while, they suddenly saw someone coming toward them from the front.

Huh?

It was known that this place had deviated from the normal trial route; how could they encounter another person?

A native?

Shi Hao looked over, but immediately shook his head.

He had seen this person before.

Xie Tianyi from the Western Rock Continent, originally ranked nineteenth in the Eternal Stone, but after Shi Hao’s strong emergence to the first place, he should now be twentieth.

Xie Tianyi naturally saw Shi Hao and Su Manman as well, but his gaze only lingered on Shi Hao for a moment before fixating on Su Manman.

A stunning beauty!

As the top prodigy of the Western Rock Continent, the forces wanting to recruit him as a son-in-law were numerous, and he had seen plenty of stunning women.

Not to mention others, out of the top ten beauties on the Western Rock Continent’s Beauty Ranking, he had met at least eight, and half of them had expressed their admiration for him.

Thus, if he was willing, beauties were truly everywhere at his disposal.

However, the beauty before him surpassed them all; she was so breathtakingly beautiful that he couldn’t believe his eyes, and even his breathing involuntarily stopped.

My God!

This must be a destiny bestowed by the heavens.

In the midst of his daydreams, Shi Hao and Su Manman walked side by side past him without any pause, not even sparing him an additional glance.

This!

Watching Su Manman’s retreating figure, Xie Tianyi finally snapped out of his stupor.

The beauty who had caused him to fall in love at first sight actually had another man by her side!

Asura?

He looked at Shi Hao; during the grand battle of the Eight Tribes, Shi Hao had indeed stolen the spotlight, causing the prodigies of the Founding King Court from the South Wood Continent to look pale by comparison, and he genuinely admired that—achieving so much just as a Self-Observation was truly commendable.

Yet, now he felt nothing but intense hostility.

In his eyes, the beauty’s disinterest must certainly be because of Shi Hao.

"Stop!" he said coldly.

However, Shi Hao and Su Manman paid him no mind; their steps remained steady, neither fast nor slow.

They were completely ignoring his existence.

Xie Tianyi immediately grew furious, whoosh, his entire body releasing a terrifying aura; being recognized as the number one Self-Observation prodigy of the Western Rock Continent, his power was not to be understated.

Still, Shi Hao and the other person did not care to acknowledge him.

Unable to tolerate this any longer, Xie Tianyi took a quick step forward, chasing after Shi Hao and aimed a palm strike at his shoulder.

Shi Hao responded with a faint smile and a punch in return.

Bang!

The two collided with a blast, both reeling back several steps.

"Oh, you broke through?" Shi Hao finally turned around, his face showing a trace of surprise.

Back at the Eternal Stone site, Xie Tianyi was but Three Aspects, but now he appeared to be Four Aspects.

Which was normal, given the abundant opportunities in this place and several months had passed.

Xie Tianyi frowned, "What realm are you exactly?"

He actually sensed an aura from the Other Shore on Shi Hao’s body. However, could there really be someone from the Other Shore as powerful as him, a Four Aspects prodigy, exist in this world?

You should know, though he was a Four Aspects, his combat power was actually at the level of Eight Aspects.

Shi Hao smiled, "Does it really matter what realm I’m in? When you encounter an enemy, do you really ask about their realm before fighting?"

Xie Tianyi was at a loss for words. It’s not that he didn’t know this, but Shi Hao’s performance was truly shocking.

"Alright, let’s fight then!" he shouted loudly, charging at Shi Hao again, "Asura, I’ve heard you were ranked first on the Eternal Stone, and I’m not convinced. I specifically came to learn from you."

"Then I’ll teach you a lesson," Shi Hao said with a smile, as he met Xie Tianyi’s advance.

Damn!

Xie Tianyi cursed inwardly. His request to ’learn’ was just a polite expression, and it wasn’t meant to be construed as seeking a lesson, so why had Shi Hao elevated himself to a position above him?

But the fight had already started, and he had no time to ponder this anymore. He hurriedly devoted all his energy, launching an attack at Shi Hao.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Neither used weapons. They relied solely on fists and feet, exchanging blows, creating quite a lively scene.

It must be said that Xie Tianyi, crowned as the top prodigy of Self-Observation in the West Rock Continent, definitely had outstanding strength. He had transcended the constraints of techniques, displaying an array of brilliant moves as if free from earthly bonds.

But Shi Hao’s approach to combat was even simpler: he just created every opportunity for a head-on confrontation.

Driven by pride, Xie Tianyi didn’t shy away and chose to go head-to-head as well.

Thus, their fists and feet kept colliding, producing muffled sounds like thunderclaps over flat land.

After hundreds of direct confrontations, Xie Tianyi couldn’t take it anymore.

He voluntarily backed off, his face alternating between pallor and flush, feeling as if his hands and feet were about to break.

Incredulously, he looked at Shi Hao, who seemed calm and unhurried, as if unaffected.

Aren’t you in pain?

Are you still made of flesh and blood?

He finally understood why Shi Hao chose to go head-to-head with him. It wasn’t that the other was young and liked to resolve fights through close combat. Rather, it was because this guy’s physique was outrageously strong, which made him adopt the most advantageous fighting style for himself.

And yet he had foolishly gone head-to-head with him!

Still, how could someone several years younger than him have such an extraordinarily strong physique?

Tyrant Body?

No, no, no. The Tyrant Body doesn’t cultivate the soul or even the realm, relying solely on strength and vitality.

But what was really going on?

Was this the terrifying aspect of being the number one in all ages?

Xie Tianyi became solemn. At this moment, he truly dared not underestimate this young man in front of him, who was several years younger than himself. His hands trembled, his left hand bursting into flames, while his right hand turned into a mass of golden light.

Gold and Fire Dual Attributes?

Shi Hao smiled faintly, his hands trembling slightly, also producing flames in his left hand and golden light in his right.

Damn it!

Xie Tianyi was stunned. You have Gold and Fire Dual Attributes too?

Could it really be such a coincidence?

But to say Shi Hao was doing it on purpose was even more far-fetched. Spirit Root Attributes are determined at birth, so how could they be changed at will just to fool someone?

Alright, if you also possess Gold and Fire Dual Attributes, then let’s see whose mastery of these two is deeper.

He leaped forward, charging at Shi Hao.

Boom, the flames soared high, and the golden light was sharp as a blade.

Shi Hao smiled and countered the attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two prodigies clashed fiercely, with flames scattering and golden light dazzling.
