Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Unbeaten in the Arena

Seeing Shi Hao at a disadvantage in the contest of strength, the Wen Family team leader’s heart immediately clenched.

Although strength is not the strongest aspect of a Self-Observation Martial Artist, at any given time, strength is an indispensable and important part.

Take the Tyrant Body, for instance, which does not cultivate Soul Force but purely the physical body, with vigorous vitality, capable of shaking a Martial Artist of the same realm to death with a single blow—causing heaven and earth to crumble. What use then, is your Elemental Power, however strong it may be?

Generally speaking, if one’s strength is great, their Soul Force is naturally also strong; the two complement each other.

Therefore, since Shi Hao lost in the contest of strength, it was very likely that he was also inferior in terms of Soul Force—this match... was in jeopardy.

Hai Wuyan burst out laughing and charged forward with a leap, swinging another punch, "Kid, quickly acknowledge that this young master’s name is exquisitely unparalleled, flawless."

Shi Hao shook his head, turned on his foot, and let the punch pass by.

The opponent was a nine-Dharma appearance, and probably among the strongest at that, even stronger than Wu Feiyu, whom he had fought before.

"Hahaha!" Hai Wuyan laughed heartily, his fists thundering like a violent storm.

However, in front of Shi Hao, who possessed a domain, the idea of hitting him was simply a fool’s dream.

—Unless Hai Wuyan belonged to the Founding King Court and had reached the level of attack speed that Shi Hao clearly knew about but was still unable to dodge.

However, in the eyes of the audience, Shi Hao appeared to be in great danger, like a tiny boat in a storm, at any moment capable of capsizing and perishing.

After dodging a few more moves, Shi Hao eventually grew impatient.

He threw a punch to meet the attack, with the Net of Rules woven onto his fist, augmenting its power by God knows how many times.

Boom!

The two exchanged a blow, and in terms of strength, Shi Hao was still at a disadvantage, stumbling backward repeatedly.

However, he had anticipated this situation and continuously diffused the force with the sway of his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each time his foot stomped down, a crack appeared on the stage. Shi Hao forcefully channeled the received force into the ground, with his own body serving as the bridge.

If it had been any other Self-Observation Martial Artist doing this, they would be courting death, as their organs would be crushed by such terrifying force surging through their body!

Yet, Shi Hao’s physique was incredibly strong; withstanding such a shock of power was a trifling matter for him.

In contrast, Hai Wuyan, though he hadn’t stepped back, had blood dripping continuously from his fist.

Hisss, the entire venue let out a collective gasp of cold air.

In that strike, Shi Hao was still outmatched in strength, but his attack power was so terrifying that he had actually managed to injure Hai Wuyan!

Hai Wuyan lifted his hand and looked at it, frowning, "My physique has been soaked in special medicinal liquids for years on end, making it incredibly strong. That you could injure my skin is truly unexpected for this young master."

Shi Hao chuckled lightly, "There are still many things you wouldn’t expect, so don’t be a frog at the bottom of a well!"

"What Technique is this, the use of the Gold Element?" Hai Wuyan rushed over again, "I’m really quite curious."

Shi Hao pumped his fists and met the charge. It seemed without pattern, but he had fused martial techniques into his attacks, each strike unleashing triple the power of his own, terrifyingly formidable.

However, Hai Wuyan was not intimidated in the least and clashed with Shi Hao, not only not falling behind but still maintaining a crushing advantage.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but nod, acknowledging that the disadvantage of his own realm was exposed when facing a genius-level, nine-Dharma appearance Martial Artist.

But it didn’t matter; through his powerful physique, he channeled his strength directly into the ground, fully capable of matching Hai Wuyan in a contest of force.

The arena, however, was suffering, with more and more cracks appearing and widening, it was about to be destroyed.

"Stop!" The referee had no choice but to halt their fight and then moved them to the arena where the Founding King Court’s powerhouses were to battle next.

That could withstand the bombardment of the Founding King Court’s hits, so naturally, it could handle two Self-Observation fighters going at it.

The fight continued.

Shi Hao took the blows with his physical body, while Hai Wuyan’s hands were cut to bloody shreds by the Net of Rules; even with his thick-headedness, he had to cease this self-mutilating behavior.

"Let me show you my true power!" Hai Wuyan bellowed, and instantly, an astonishing chill released from his body, his palms turning transparent, as if made of ice sculptures.

Ice Attribute.

He pointed at Shi Hao, and instantly, an ice pillar appeared out of nowhere and spread towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao was by no means a coward; seeing the ice pillar coming, he threw a punch and struck it.

Enveloped by the Net of Rules, Shi Hao’s fist was invincible, and with a loud bang, the ice pillar shattered, but a surge of coldness wrapped around him, turning his face instantly pale.

Such a terrifying chill!

"Hahaha, who could possibly be a match for me in the arena battles!" Hai Wuyan laughed loudly as ice pillars continuously emerged from his body, forming a web-like pattern, densely covering the arena.

One must know that the arena wasn’t large, a square with each side only ten zhang wide thus Hai Wuyan, standing in the middle of the arena, could easily turn the entire platform into a world of ice stalagmites.

Hai Wuyan’s boastful words actually had some merit, as the arena battle indeed allowed his advantages to be fully utilized, given that his opponent had limited space to dodge.

"Kid, better bow down obediently and follow me from now on!" Hai Wuyan laughed triumphantly; he had sealed off the arena, and as time passed, the coldness affecting Shi Hao’s body would grow stronger, freezing him solid!

Still thinking of fighting with him? What a joke.

"Seems you boasted too soon," Shi Hao shook his head, and with a thought, the Sun Dharma Aspect emerged, immediately causing the ice pillars in the arena to melt at a visible rate, turning to water in an instant, and spilling down from the platform.

"Hot, hot, hot!" Hai Wuyan hopped around; at such close proximity, the Sun Dharma Aspect was too fearsome, capable of turning him into jerky.

He hurriedly deployed the Frost Element to wrap around himself, turning into a large block of solid ice.

This only needed to seal himself off, and naturally, the strength of the solid ice would be higher than before, but it was useless. With the Sun Dharma Aspect out at such a close distance, what ice could remain un-melted?

This was the Sun Dharma Aspect after all. At equivalent realms, how many Dharma aspects could possibly contend with it?

The Dwarf Star Dharma Aspect could, the Black Hole Physiognomy could, but then again, who had attained those?

Except for Shi Hao!

Although Hai Wuyan desperately maintained the ice as a shield, the speed at which the ice melted was faster than he could reform it, so the ice on his body was getting thinner and thinner.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!" He cried out in alarm.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Just give up and step down. In the arena, I am invincible!"

How embarrassing!

Hai Wuyan’s face turned red; he had just claimed that he was invincible in the arena battle, but now, the other man had simply unleashed a Dharma appearance, and he was powerless to resist.

What kind of freak was this!
