Chapter 537: Chapter 537 Star River

"Hearing Shi Hao’s words, the three human strongmen were all speechless."

"Just now, we praised your ability and courage, but in the blink of an eye, you revealed such a mercenary attitude. It really ruins the image, you know?"

"Can’t you be a bit more upright and maintain the grand image you just displayed?"

"That, I also made contributions, so give me some contribution value too!" Nan Menxi ran over and shamelessly reached out his hand.

What’s wrong with the youngsters these days?

"Scram!" The man dressed in blue couldn’t help but finally burst out shouting.

"I’ll scram right away, but about the contribution value—"

"Scram!"

Nan Menxi wanted to say more, but the elderly woman dressed in purple picked him up and threw him far away.

By the time he got back up, he saw that the three human strongmen had already run off without a trace.

"I’ve bled and suffered injuries for humanity!" Nan Menxi had a face full of indignation. "That’s just too much. They demolish the bridge after crossing the river. Don’t you think so?" He turned to look at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao waved his hand: "We’re not even close, so don’t lump our relationships together."

"How can we have no relationship?" Nan Menxi hurriedly leaned in. "We are comrades in life and death!"

"Oh, when did we become that?" Shi Hao looked over.

"That was just now, ah. When that Fire Person was chasing you, it was the same for me too!" Nan Menxi had incredibly thick skin.

Shi Hao rolled his eyes: "Scram!"

For this kind of person, other than the word ’scram,’ it’s hard to express the exact emotions.

Yet Nan Menxi didn’t care at all and came closer again, saying, "Shi Hao, the next time you enter the earthly grotto, how about taking me with you?"

"Not a good idea!" Shi Hao shook his head. Unless he could absolutely trust someone, he wouldn’t let anyone else know the secret of the Immortal Abode.

"I can be your bodyguard." Nan Menxi was very persistent, but it could also be described as having a thick face with no sense of shame. "At most, I won’t charge you any fees."

Shi Hao chuckled: "Can you even beat me?"

Nan Menxi showed a proud look: "Speaking of fighting, there aren’t many in Self-Observation who can beat me."

With a thought, Shi Hao activated his Universe Dharma appearance, and Nan Menxi was immediately enveloped within it.

Nan Menxi hurriedly spun around; his Ocular Power could only see three inches in front of him, which wasn’t much different from being discarded.

After a while, the mist dissipated.

"Ha ha ha, you can’t do anything to me, right?" Nan Menxi was full of pride.

Shi Hao stayed silent but pointed at his back.

What does that mean?

Nan Menxi took off his coat, only to see four characters written on it: "I am a moron."

When were those written?

Was it during the confusion of the mist just now?

Hiss, if Shi Hao wanted to kill him, wouldn’t it have been a piece of cake?

However, to Shi Hao’s surprise, this guy wasn’t the least bit embarrassed; instead, his eyes lit up: "How did you cultivate this move? Teach me!"

This guy had become shameless to an extreme degree, making it hard for people to even dislike him.

Shi Hao sighed. If you won’t scram, then I’ll do it.

He turned and walked away, not leaving the earthly grotto but continuing deeper inside.

This time, he intended to let the Black Hole Physiognomy devour enough Elemental Cores to break through to the five phases as soon as possible. Now that his goal wasn’t achieved, how could he leave?

Anyway, the Fire People from the Supplementing Divine Temple had already been taken care of, and Shi Hao had nothing to fear. Such powerful beings were still relatively rare in the three-hundred-mile region.

"Hey, don’t go, there’s room for negotiation!" Nan Menxi hurriedly chased after him.

Shi Hao executed his movement technique, and with the Cloud Piercing Step, his speed was much faster than Nan Menxi’s, quickly leaving him without a trace.

Not to mention the Immortal Abode, even the secret that his Black Hole Physiognomy could devour everything and absorb energy was not to be known by others.

Nan Menxi chased for a while but had to give up, disheartened.

"This kid won’t be swayed by anything, what should I do?" He stroked his chin.

"Got it!"

His eyes lit up, "Let’s get that kid into the North Silver Alliance. After all, he’s from the Eastern Fire Continent, and that place hardly has any decent organizations. It shouldn’t be hard to pull him in. Once he’s one of us, clinging to him will be much easier."

...

Shi Hao had found another village of Elemental Creatures, and with the release of his Black Hole Physiognomy, after a series of killings, he had reached the peak of the Dharma appearance realm with four aspects.

Good, the goal achieved, time to go back.

Shi Hao left the earthly grotto and returned directly to the academy.

He began to seclude himself for cultivation, first completely stabilizing his realm before starting to charge towards the fifth aspect.

"Yue Ying," he called softly.

But no matter how soft and gentle, it was useless.

"Hey, my life-hurrying master, can’t you stay peaceful for a few days? You have a mouth for talking, but not only for that!" Yue Ying typically retorted, then carried Shi Hao’s spirit into the Universe.

This time, Shi Hao was to visualize the Star River.

The entire Universe was composed of countless Star Rivers, and as long as he could visualize a Star River, once his Royal Court was formed in the future, he would be able to create countless Star Rivers and evolve the rudiment of his own universe.

Meanwhile, within the academy, the higher-ups of the West Rock Alliance were also having a meeting.

Other students, even if they knew that people like Yan Liwei had entered the earthly grotto, would definitely not associate it with anything else, but the higher-ups of the West Rock Alliance knew that Yan Liwei and his group had gone to ambush Shi Hao.

But now Shi Hao had returned, and Yan Liwei and the others had not. What did that mean?

The ten of them were likely more unfortunate than fortunate, possibly dead inside the earthly grotto.

"How could this be?" Quan Chengli exclaimed in shock, "He was just a Self-Observation. No matter how monstrous, he couldn’t possibly be a match for the Founding King Court. How could even Yan, the deputy leader, not return?"

The others frowned too, unable to understand.

"Unless—" Sha Yutang spoke up, "Liwei and the others encountered powerful Elemental Creatures and were trapped inside the earthly grotto without even intercepting that kid."

"Hmm." Everyone nodded, considering that possibility quite likely.

"The fear is... that they might have already died in there," Ding Chengjiao said pensively.

This silenced everyone. If such a thing had really happened, then the West Rock Alliance’s luck was too bad.

"No matter what, Shi Hao must die!" Sha Yutang declared coldly.

"Yes!" The others nodded in agreement, as the West Rock Alliance had already suffered too many blows to its prestige because of Shi Hao. The longer Shi Hao lived, the greater the blow to the West Rock Alliance.

"Next time, I will lead the team myself and ensure that kid is buried in the earthly grotto forever," Sha Yutang said, as if making a vow.

...

Of course, Shi Hao did not know about the arrangements the West Rock Alliance had made against him, and even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared.

With his speed, the Founding King Court simply couldn’t bother him—unless they also had an incredibly powerful movement technique. In addition, with the Star Cloud Physiognomy and Immortal Abode, his ability to protect himself had reached an inconceivably high level.

Thus, he was only focused on observing the Star River.

Star Rivers are made up of countless Star Systems, and within each Star System are many Celestial Bodies. Therefore, this time Shi Hao was visualizing not the rules, but the bigger picture.

Truly constructing his inner world.
