Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 203 - Battle with Ceng Song
Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Battle with Ceng Song Chapter 203 -203: Battle with Ceng Song Who would have thought?
The fight between Ceng Song and Shi Hao seemed a foregone conclusion to everyone.
Although Shi Hao had proven himself to be a supreme genius, he was, after all, only at the three-step Soul Nurturing level, with combat power of at most five steps; Ceng Song, on the other hand, was naturally at the five-step Soul Nurturing level, and could also fight above his level by two steps.
Therefore, with a two-step difference in strength, it was certainly a crushing defeat.
But what were they seeing now?
The one being crushed was not Shi Hao, but Ceng Song.
How could that be?
Ceng Song had the combat power of seven steps, and to push him back with one punch, the power had to be at least of the seven-step Peak.
Three-step cultivation, seven-step Peak power?
A full four levels apart?
My God!
For a moment, everyone gasped in shock, utterly dumbfounded.
To think, even within the Great Sects, disciples of cultivation at the Holy Maiden level can only fight across three minor realms, jumping four levels was utterly a genius of the ages, seen once in several hundred years.
Shi Hao… was actually such a genius!
No wonder he dared to confront Ceng Song directly—it wasn’t his arrogance, but his strength that allowed it.
In the private box, Lu Yun couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Although both capable of fighting across two levels, there was still a difference, as his limit was actually close to three levels; he could fight at the Peak of three realms starting from the initial phase of one island.
But to exceed three levels was truly unthinkable, an insurmountable chasm.
However, Shi Hao had not only done it, but he had exceeded by four levels.
To top it off, he was also so good-looking!
Lu Yun clenched his fists as, because of An Yuemei’s involvement, he could never allow Shi Hao to live, hoping Ceng Song would act on his behalf to eliminate Shi Hao. But now, he was disappointed.
Humph, since Ceng Song, this useless trash, failed, he would have to find another way.
…
In the arena, Ceng Song tightened his grip on the handle of his knife, as if this might boost his confidence.
Shi Hao smiled faintly, “I just made a breakthrough this morning, apologies for that.”
Upon hearing this, everyone thought in their minds, so he had broken through to the four-step, no wonder he was so fierce.
But immediately, they grimaced.
Though not as terrifying as before, he was still three minor levels higher!
This guy was too much of a show-off, bragging blatantly yet speaking so casually.
Ceng Song raised his knife, pointing it directly at Shi Hao: “You shouldn’t have provoked me!”
His eyes emitted a madness, his aura growing more formidable by the moment.
“Die!” He charged forward with his knife, slashing with more power than before, stepping into the eight-step realm.
No one knew, his madness wasn’t an illness or a personality issue, but a bloodline!
He had researched many archives and found that this was called ‘Berserk,’ which could momentarily elevate his combat power by a level, though it made him lose control over his emotions, impulsively attacking and killing on sight.
But now it didn’t matter, as the person in front of him was exactly the one he wanted to chop and kill.
Die.
Boom, the flaming knife danced again, its might astonishing.
Shi Hao searched in his mind and laughed, “So you are of the Raging Bloodline, but sadly, your bloodline is too impure, the boost from Berserk is too insignificant.”
Bang!
As if to illustrate his words, Shi Hao punched out, and Ceng Song was once again forced to retreat, still unable to withstand a single blow.
One must know, Shi Hao was now at the fourth step of Soul Nurturing, his basic combat power alone was at the level of eight steps.
Unfortunately, everyone only knew that Ceng Song could fight across two levels. If they knew his combat power had reached beyond three levels, they would inevitably think that Shi Hao could indeed fight across four levels!
Ceng Song was also in a panic, looking at Shi Hao with shocked eyes.
How did this guy know he possessed a Raging Bloodline?
He had not told anyone about this. It was only after he realized his uniqueness that he searched through ancient records and finally confirmed he was of the Raging Bloodline.
You figured it out just by looking once?
What a monster!
“How did you know?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“The most noticeable characteristic after going Berserk is the reddening of the eyes,” Shi Hao casually said. “Also, the hands and feet grow larger, blood circulation speeds up, and the teeth slightly protrude.”
Ceng Song fell silent; Shi Hao had hit the nail on the head.
He had only matched his characteristics after researching, yet Shi Hao spoke as if it was common knowledge – how could he not be astonished?
Who exactly was this man?
Speaking of the Raging Bloodline, Shi Hao also became interested, saying, “There was once a clan called the Mad Bloodline Clan, and every clan member could go berserk. The most astounding could enhance their combat power by an entire realm.”
“However, that really was drawing out all one’s potential. Once the strength was exhausted, the Life Force would quickly deplete, and the Undead could no longer fight for the rest of their life.”
Such a clan was terrifying beyond measure, possessing a fearsome renown that truly no one dared provoke.
Ceng Song listened with great excitement. To cross an entire realm?
If one could fight a grand and fierce battle, what did death matter?
Unfortunately, his Berserk could only elevate his combat power by a minor realm, which was far from being enough.
“Do you still want to fight?” Shi Hao asked with a smile.
At these words, Ceng Song blushed.
Who was he?
He was the infamous Ceng Family Madman, known for his ruthless strikes. Did he still resemble himself now?
After going Berserk, his personality would naturally become more violent. With an increasing number of berserk episodes, his personality would become even more twisted until he finally became a true madman.
What he didn’t know was that the Mad Bloodline Clan had long since been annihilated, not by other forces, but because the powerful members of his clan went insane and killed off the entire clan, leaving only a few members who were out spared from disaster.
Therefore, the Raging Bloodline only occasionally surfaced, derived from those surviving clan members. Whenever a bloodline returned to its ancestors, it would stir up a bloody storm, even throwing the world into chaos.
Since Ceng Song hadn’t used Berserk many times, he was now just vicious and ruthless, not yet insane or berserk, which is why he was distracted by Shi Hao’s words.
He revitalized his fighting spirit with a flourish of his long blade.
He knew now, in a head-on attack, he was no match for Shi Hao.
But, you are so young. Could your fighting experience possibly be as rich as mine?
Ceng Song wasn’t boasting, but in terms of combat experience, even Lu Yun couldn’t match him.
He began to move around, trying to find Shi Hao’s weaknesses.
Shi Hao placed his hands behind his back, letting Ceng Song circle around him, pretending to be oblivious.
But to Ceng Song, it seemed that while Shi Hao was full of openings, each also seemed like a trap, making him completely dare not to attack.
He feigned an attack, trying to disrupt Shi Hao’s state.
Shi Hao remained unmoved, far too calm.

Thus, the audience saw a very amusing scene: Ceng Song continuously swung his long blade, advancing and retreating, as if possessed, hacking and slicing at the air.
