Chapter 209: Chapter 209: The Petty Die Quick

“You may leave now,” Shi Hao said, his head not moving an inch, only his lips slightly lifted.

The servant knew that Shi Hao was addressing him.

“Yes, Young Master Shi.” He nodded and left, not daring to underestimate Shi Hao for a moment, as the attitude of Qi Yingpeng made it evident—it was quite tense.

Wu Jiangtao felt somewhat regretful, his own performance had no audience, which made him feel less satisfied.

However, it was also satisfying to see that painful expression on Shi Hao’s face.

“Young Master Shi, heh, Young Master Shi,” Wu Jiangtao sneered, “You trash, you still dare to call yourself Young Master Shi? Don’t you feel that when others call you that, they’re actually mocking and pitying you?”

Shi Hao remained silent, just watching him perform.

“Haha, how does it feel to be a cripple?” Wu Jiangtao’s smile grew even more joyful, “Before this, you were enjoying your success, not only being the darling of Qi Yingpeng but also nearly reaching Level Five in martial arts in combat!”

“Unfortunately, you’re too foolish, not understanding the saying, ‘The bigger they are, the harder they fall.’

“This is the Lu Family’s world, yet you dared to excel more than the Lu Family’s genius. Who else but you should be taken down?”

“Now you’re still alive, you really stepped in dogshit luck!”

“But better you didn’t die, otherwise, who would I have said all this to?”

He said it all in one breath, his face gleaming with immense pleasure.

It felt great, he was in a terrific mood.

Shi Hao merely smiled faintly, “Are you happy?”

“Of course!” Wu Jiangtao suddenly got furious, pointing at Shi Hao, “I was supposed to be the center of attention, but because of you, no one spares me a second glance!”

“Shi Hao, this is all your fault!”

“What, you want to hit me?” Shi Hao asked.

“And what if I do?” Wu Jiangtao declared proudly, “You’re already crippled, can you still stop me? Besides, who would care about a cripple like you now? Now, I am Pill City’s brightest star!”

Shi Hao sighed, “I’ve seen people courting death, but never like you!”

“Still being stubborn at this time?” Wu Jiangtao felt he was going to explode with anger, this guy was just too arrogant. He wouldn’t shed a tear until he saw the coffin.

Good, I fear not that your defiance isn’t strong enough, what pleasure would there be in breaking you then?

“Shi Hao, I will make you realize what a big mistake you’ve made!” he reached out his hand, grabbing at Shi Hao.

He wanted not only to insult Shi Hao with words but also to torment him physically.

That way, he could vent his anger.

However, as he stretched out his hand halfway, he was startled to see that Shi Hao had actually stood up.

My God!

At that moment, Wu Jiangtao was scared out of his wits.

What’s going on?

This guy was supposed to be crippled, wasn’t he?

A supposed cripple suddenly standing up, wouldn’t that scare anyone?

He let out a cry of shock, his movement abruptly stopping.

Shi Hao smiled, “Continue.”

“How could you possibly—” Wu Jiangtao exclaimed in shock, his sentence cut off as he gasped in cold air, “You deliberately released false news so that Lu Yun would no longer bother you!”

“Not stupid,” Shi Hao nodded.

Wu Jiangtao suddenly went pale, realizing that Shi Hao had stood up in front of him, what did that imply?

He must want to silence him.

Damn!

If he had known this would happen, why would he have come?

Now there was no third person here, and the servant at the door was Qi Yingpeng’s man. Would he help him speak?

All of the sudden, he shuddered all over with fear.

Knowing fully well Shi Hao’s combat capabilities, being able to claim the title of the best novice, and even managing three moves under Lu Yun’s hand, how powerful must he be?

He was no match at all.

Thinking that death was imminent, cold sweat poured down his face.

He was still young, he absolutely did not want to die.

“Wu Jiangtao, I had no grudges with you, it was you who insisted on being aggressively oppressive, and now you even seek to kick me while I’m down. With my temperament, I usually have only one way to deal with such fools,” Shi Hao extended his fist.

“No, spare my life! Spare my life!” Wu Jiangtao begged, his self-esteem evaporating instantly in the face of death.

What could be more important than life?

Bang!

Shi Hao threw a punch, flames whirled, and Wu Jiangtao almost instantly turned to ashes.

How could he have killed a Soul Nurturing realm warrior without such power?

He sat back down, acting as if nothing had happened.

Huh?

Just then, a powerful white light descended from the sky, its intense brightness blinding everyone, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

What was happening?

Shi Hao even thought about the last time a meteor fell from the sky, and a person emerged from an eggshell; what about this time?

It couldn’t be the same, could it?

However, then there was silence; the glow faded, and everything returned to normal.

Shi Hao took out a Cangyan Fruit and consumed it directly.

Some Spirit Fruits can’t be used in alchemy, not because they are ineffective, but because they are nourished by the world itself; consuming them directly achieves the best effect safely without any side effects. Attempting alchemy could instead lead to degradation of the quality.

This was the case with the Cangyan Fruit.

Hmm, the taste was decent.

Shi Hao smacked his lips, and after a while, he felt a wave of heat surge within him as if it was about to set him on fire.

The Cangyan Fruit, with its fire properties, greatly enhanced martial artists’ communication with the Fire Element, and might even bestow a Divine Skill.

But first, he had to withstand this heat.

No big deal.

Shi Hao drew the Fire Element from his surroundings, forming a bridge to conduct the heat away, leaving behind only the purest energy.

Boom! Around him, numerous Fire Lotuses blossomed, creating a spectacular sight.

Shi Hao began absorbing the energy from the Spirit Fruit, thoroughly nourishing his body and soul, making him incredibly comfortable.

However, before even a stick of incense could burn down, the effect had already passed.

Shi Hao felt his cultivation had advanced significantly, reaching the mid-fourth step, but he was still far from breaking through to the fifth step.

He threw his hand up, boom, a large fireball smashed upward, larger and hotter than any he had managed before.

Indeed, the effect was remarkable!

Unfortunately, he did not gain a Divine Skill from it.

Two days quietly passed.

Wu Jiangtao’s death was suppressed by Qi Yingpeng, who justified it because the other party had broken in; even if Shi Hao hadn’t acted, he would have killed him to cover it up.

— Lu Yun would never tolerate Shi Hao. Knowing Shi Hao was not crippled, he would definitely try to strike again.

The president of Pill City could fully cover the sky with one hand. Thus, even with Wu Jiangtao being such a prodigy, his “disappearance” did not stir up much trouble.

Only Pan Ze vaguely guessed something, but how could he dare to confront a four-star Pill Master?

Meanwhile, in Sanyuan City, many were curious about the sudden white light and set out to investigate.

They had a general idea of where the white light had been.

Soon, messages were sent back.

— The origin point of the white light has been determined to be seventy li outside the city.

— Before, that place was barren land, but now it has turned into a deep pit, revealing an entrance to a passage.

— Some people have already entered and returned safely, confirming it as a type of secret realm!

The news spread, and the entire Sanyuan City was abuzz.
