Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Venturing Alone into the Dragon’s Lair

Shi Hao shook his head, "I’ve already taught you a lesson, and yet you insist on provoking me time and again. You really don’t learn!"

With a boom, he kicked out, and Zhang Yinlai went flying, crashing heavily to the ground and immediately spewing fresh blood.

The Heaven’s Path Alliance, huh?

Shi Hao went to seek Weng Nanqing, communicated with him for a bit, and Weng Nanqing readily agreed to his request.

A day later, Shi Hao headed towards the Heaven’s Path Alliance.

The academy officially forbade students from forming various small groups, so the Heaven’s Path Alliance naturally didn’t flaunt itself, establishing a headquarters or raising a big flag outside. Instead, they used a villa as their office space, and it was sufficient for all members to know this in their hearts.

Usually, the members of the Heaven’s Path Alliance gathered here to exchange experiences and such.

Shi Hao quickly arrived at the entrance of the villa, only to see a man sitting at the entrance, very young in age but with a hookah in his hands, puffing clouds of smoke.

Upon seeing Shi Hao approach, the young smoker looked up at him and said indifferently, "The Alliance Hierarch ordered you to come here on your knees, yet you used your feet! Go back and start over."

Heh, does this guy think he’s here to apologize?

Shi Hao shook his head, "Today, I’m here to cause a stir. Does the Heaven’s Path Alliance have anyone who can fight?"

The young smoker was startled, not expecting Shi Hao to defy the order even after the Alliance Hierarch had personally spoken.

This brat from the Eastern Fire Continent is too arrogant!

"Who gave you the courage to say such things?" The young smoker put down his hookah, his expression turning grim, "You’ll have to get past me first!"

Shi Hao chuckled, "No offense, but within the realm of Self-Observation, there really isn’t anyone who can match me in a fight."

"Arrogant!" The young man let out a fierce shout and charged at Shi Hao with a leap, swinging a punch towards him.

Shi Hao casually extended a hand and grabbed the young man’s fist, then burst forth with strength, and bang, the young man involuntarily knelt down.

This kneel was extraordinarily heavy, shattering the steps at the entrance as the debris flew wildly.

"Uh!" The young man grunted, shivering all over.

His knees were forcibly shattered.

Shi Hao nonchalantly kicked out, and bang, the young man went smashing through the gate and tumbled into the courtyard.

Instantly, everyone in the courtyard turned their heads, first looking at the young man and then showing faces filled with rage.

Such audacity, to run wild in the Heaven’s Path Alliance!

"Shi Hao!" someone immediately called out.

Right away, the crowd was incensed.

Many people were still unaware of Zhang Yinlai’s incident, so they were clueless about Shi Hao’s arrival. In their eyes, it seemed Shi Hao had gotten inflated with pride after defeating Du Bei, even daring to step on the Heaven’s Path Alliance.

Way too naive and arrogant, do you know what the Heaven’s Path Alliance is?

There are geniuses of the Supplementing Divine Temple backing it!

"Shi Hao, do you really think that by defeating a Founding King Court, you can do whatever you want?" A young man in blue immediately stepped forward, berating Shi Hao.

"Don’t humiliate yourself, a few prawns and crabs!" Shi Hao spoke indifferently, "Today I’ve come to issue a challenge. Anyone under the Supplementing Divine Temple can step forward and see if they are a match for me!"

This... was too arrogant.

You’re still only in the realm of Self-Observation, yet you aspire to sweep through the Founding King Court?

The young man in blue was furious and rushed forward recklessly, boom, releasing nine Dharma appearances all at once, each one a towering mountain or a mighty river, pressing down towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao nodded inwardly, not bad for the Heaven’s Path Alliance; truly abundant in talent.

In the West Rock Alliance, there were barely more than ten Self-Observation martial artists, yet here, in this courtyard alone, there were no less than twenty Self-Observations, with five from the Founding King Court.

Boom, the attack from the Qing Yi-clad youth had arrived.

Shi Hao merely smiled faintly, simply wielding his Soul Force, blasting towards the young man.

Hum, the young man immediately faltered, his body stiffening on the spot.

"Kneel!" Shi Hao commanded lightly, voice booming like thunder, causing the young man’s mind to tremble, his knees buckling unconsciously, he knelt down heavily.

However, having kneeled, the young man quickly came to his senses and tried to stand up at once, but Shi Hao had already approached, pressing a hand on the young man’s shoulder, rendering him immobile.

Seeing this scene, the people in the courtyard went mad.

This was too much bullying.

You come to the Heaven’s Path Alliance’s territory, and you still dare to humiliate people like this?

Everyone looked coldly at Shi Hao, as if looking at a dead man.

Shi Hao smiled, "Is there anyone capable of fighting? There’s no need to embarrass yourself by bringing out someone who falls over at the slightest touch."

"Shi Hao, you should know, you’re always just a Self-Observation!" A brocade-clad young man stepped out, initially with a subdued aura, unremarkable, but as he stepped forward, his aura surged, like a divine blade unsheathed, emitting a chilling sharpness.

This sharpness was overwhelming, causing many people to involuntarily lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

This was a member of the Founding King Court, and definitely not a recent breakthrough like Du Bei, with an aura that could be emitted or withdrawn at will.

"My name is Wang Zhijian, presence of the Royal Court at the second realm." the brocade-clad young man stated indifferently, "If you come here to be reckless, then don’t blame me for bullying the weak!"

The academy forbids higher realm martial artists from bullying those from lower realms, but since Shi Hao provoked them first, even if he were to severely injure Shi Hao, the academy officials would have nothing to say.

Shi Hao beckoned with his fingers, "Come and fight!"

Wang Zhijian snorted dismissively, striding towards Shi Hao with contempt, casually speaking, "I’m not a new Founding King Court breakthrough like Du Bei, with an unstable realm!"

Boom, he released two Royal Courts, an imposing aura pressing down on Shi Hao immediately.

Shi Hao sensed it for a moment, and shook his head.

Despite his self-confident words, Wang Zhijian was in fact not stronger than Du Bei.

——Du Bei was once ranked tenth on the Self-Observation main list, so upon stepping into the Founding King Court, his combat power was also extremely formidable.

"Back then, what was your ranking on the Self-Observation main list?" Shi Hao asked casually.

Hearing this, Wang Zhijian’s face darkened.

What the hell!

No matter which list, there were only one hundred spots available, and with martial arts flourishing in the South Wood Continent, geniuses were numerous, so how easy was it to squeeze into the rankings?

Even being the hundredth alone made one a supreme genius who reigned supreme in a region!

Although very strong, he wasn’t qualified to be on the main list, and he was only ranked eighty-seventh on the genius list, which he left after four years.

Thus, when Shi Hao asked this, naturally, he felt like he was being humiliated.

"Insolent!" he huffed, stretching out his finger, the two Royal Courts immediately pressing down on Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled, this fellow was clearly enraged out of embarrassment, his past rankings were obviously less than ideal.

No wonder he didn’t feel strong to Shi Hao, at most comparable to Du Bei.

His thoughts shifted, and the Galactic Dharma Form appeared, swirling around him, countless stars shone with dazzling brilliance.

Others did not realize these were stars, thinking Shi Hao was executing a Martial Technique, inevitably curious for it was a strikingly ostentatious skill.
