Chapter 204 -204: Discard

If it hadn’t been Ceng Song, many in the audience probably couldn’t have resisted throwing banana peels by now.

And Ceng Song was under immense pressure as well.

He was in a berserk state, but it was limited by time, and once he exited this state, his strength would plummet significantly, let alone fighting across two levels, he wouldn’t even measure up to a normal five-step.

Moreover, once the berserk state was initiated, it wasn’t something that could simply be turned off; it would continue until the energy of his bloodline was exhausted, and only after a long period of recovery could it be activated again.

So, he couldn’t delay any longer.

“Kill!” he roared, swinging his Flame Knife towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled, raising his fist to meet the attack. With a loud bang, his fist struck the blade of the knife, and the terrifying force burst forth, sending Ceng Song reeling back.

He swiftly pursued forward, throwing continuous punches.

Ceng Song’s blade had been swept aside and he couldn’t recover in time, so he used his left arm to shield himself, taking the brunt of Shi Hao’s punches.

Boom, boom, boom—the sound of impact echoed continuously.

Yet, to Shi Hao’s surprise, Ceng Song wasn’t overwhelmed by his barrage of attacks, because there were purple lotuses blossoming on his left arm, blocking Shi Hao’s strikes.

“Spiritual Artifact!” Shi Hao exclaimed.

“Indeed,” Ceng Song proudly replied. “This is the foundation of the Ceng Family!”

Shi Hao smiled. “Just a spiritual artifact, and you’re getting cocky?”

Ceng Song snorted and swung his knife again.

With the aid of the spiritual artifact, his defense was no longer a problem, allowing him to focus all his energy on the offensive without worrying about his defense.

—He had been worried before that the spiritual artifact wouldn’t be able to block Shi Hao’s attacks, but now that it proved effective, he naturally felt relieved.

As the berserk state deepened, his emotions grew more and more frenzied, and with a loud yell, he charged at Shi Hao again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Flame Knife slashed wildly, fully unleashing his power.

“Good!”

“Take him down!”

“Kill that pretty boy!”

The men were united in their animosity; Shi Hao’s good looks immediately made the women take his side without question.

“Shi Hao, keep going!”

“Shi Hao, we love you!”

The female spectators, not to be outdone, loudly cheered for Shi Hao, boosting the atmosphere to the utmost.

“Shi Hao, you’re definitely going to die today!” Ceng Song roared, his eyes bloodshot.

Although he wasn’t able to overpower Shi Hao in the short term, the saying goes that a prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Amidst his relentless assaults, there would surely come a time when Shi Hao made a mistake, and that would be his chance to strike and finish his opponent.

“Is that so?” Shi Hao smirked slightly, deciding it was time to end the battle.

Come!

He executed the Eight Extremes Fierce Fire Fist, striking at Ceng Song.

Boom, boom, boom—his punches were incredibly fast.

If the creator of the Eight Extremes Fist had been there, he would have been utterly astonished.

Because if it’s a formal martial art, that is a rigid routine, each punch should strike according to a strict rhythm, otherwise, it wouldn’t be called Eight Extremes Fist.

Yet, Shi Hao’s punching speed far exceeded the frequency supposed for the Eight Extremes Fist; however, the power was in no way diminished but instead could unleash three times the internal force.

So, strictly speaking, Shi Hao had already transcended the category of Eight Extremes Fist, no longer constrained by the martial art itself, but extracting the essence of Eight Extremes Fist and always maintaining a threefold surge of strength.

—Combat itself is ever-changing; only by stepping out of the constraints of the martial art can one adapt to the swiftly changing battles.

From that perspective, Shi Hao had already qualified to be called a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

A grandmaster at seventeen?

It couldn’t be helped, who made Shi Hao inherit the memories of Yuan Chengmie? The man was an Almighty of the Heaven Building Ladder, having all his memories, how could Shi Hao not be formidable?

Of course, if he weren’t also a genius of exceptional talent, he wouldn’t have been able to adapt and use it actively.

Under such a furious and stormy attack, Ceng Song had completely lost any chance to counterattack, forced to cross his left arm in front of his chest, using a Spiritual Artifact to withstand Shi Hao’s attacks.

However, he had already prepared to retaliate.

Your attacks are so ferocious, once the momentum falls, that must be the time when defense is weakest and the moment for him to switch defense to offense and decide the outcome with one strike.

Boom boom boom, Shi Hao’s fists were faster than the last, as if he had no limits.

If someone observed closely, they would notice that although lotuses blossomed continuously on Ceng Song’s arm, the speed couldn’t keep up anymore.

When Shi Hao increased his attack speed to a limit, snap, the lotus shattered, and no new blossom followed to block him.

Bang!

This punch drove straight forward, hitting Ceng Song’s left shoulder. Immediately, Ceng Song was sent flying like a cannonball, hurtling over ten yards before crashing into a distant wall, rebounding and falling heavily to the ground.

A pool of fresh blood flowed from beneath him, quickly forming a circle.

“Stop! Stop!” the referee rushed over to prevent Shi Hao from continuing.

In fact, Shi Hao had no intention of delivering another strike and simply stood with his hands behind his back.

The referee went over to check on Ceng Song and couldn’t help but inhale sharply, because most of the bones in Ceng Song’s body were broken, and not just snapped into two pieces, but powdered, such that even if they were bonded with the best Bone Mending Paste, there would definitely be complications.

It wasn’t to say he was ruined, but the impact was significant.

The bosses of the Ceng Family, if they knew, who knows how they would erupt in thunderous fury.

But after all, he was just the referee, it wasn’t his business.

“Shi Hao wins!” he declared loudly.

Actually, everyone already knew the outcome, but hearing him announce it still shocked many people.

The three great geniuses of the city were synonyms for invincibility at the same tier, always victorious even against higher tiers, yet now someone had toppled them. Was this heralding the arrival of a new era?

In the fighting ground, people naturally moved to carry Ceng Song out. What reaction the Ceng Family would have would depend on their receiving the news.

After all, in the hearts of the Ceng Family members, Ceng Song winning first place was just a formality—who would have thought he would suffer such a targeted attack?

Shi Hao turned and left, his face void of any expression.

On that last hit, he could have held back his power, to defeat without injuring Ceng Song, but who asked Ceng Song to try and kill him. Was he the kind of person who would endure silently when bullied?

I have the capabilities, naturally, I will fight back.

He and Xiao Hei returned to their residence, waiting for the continuation of the competition the next day.

Meanwhile, over at the Ceng Family, dark clouds loomed.

The situation was too grave for Ceng Song; most of his bones shattered, even if he healed, complications would remain.

To ordinary people, these complications might not be significant, but for a supreme talent like Ceng Song, the impact was immense.

To think of fighting across two levels?

Heh.

Therefore, inside the Ceng Family, discussions were already underway on how to deal with Shi Hao, the assailant.
