Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Talk of the Town

Shi Jingbai’s corpse lay there quietly, with his death, his crimes had also faded away.

Chen Zihao and the heads of the four major families all felt a painful heaviness in their chests. This youth, resembling an Asura, where he passed, there was bound to be slaughter.

In fact, Chen Zihao knew even more about Shi Hao. Just last night, the head of the Yang Family and his son had died at the hands of Shi Hao, but he hadn’t yet figured out how to handle it when today such an incident immediately occurred.

He clenched his fists secretly, determined to mobilize the City Guard Army as soon as Shi Hao left and shoot him on the spot!

Shi Hao smiled and strutted away.

“Summon Luo Qi for me!” Chen Zihao commanded upon returning to his study.

However, it was merely a moment later that a guard reported, “Re, Return, City Lord, Commander Luo has already died in battle.”

“What!” Chen Zihao was shocked, and he sprang to his feet, but the movement strained his wounds, causing sharp pains in both arms.

“How did he die?” he asked urgently.

“He was killed by Shi Hao!” the guard briefly explained the situation.

Thud!

Chen Zihao fell back into his seat, stunned that even an army of over eight hundred City Guards couldn’t subdue Shi Hao!

My God, how powerful is this youth?

He sighed deeply, realizing now that no one in Mengyang City could tackle Shi Hao.

To capture Shi Hao, even to kill this youth, it was imperative to seek experts from the county town or to transfer the City Guard Army from there.

— The Moon-Slaying Bow, capable of killing a martial master!

But the journey to the county town, even with a swift horse and whipping speed, would take about eight days, and round-trip would take over half a month. All he could do was wait.

Now, Shi Hao was the king of Mengyang City, able to do whatever he desired.

When Shi Hao walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion, everyone gazed at him with utter shock.

Breaking into the City Lord’s Mansion and walking out unharmed, how astonishing was that?

Shi Hao paid no attention to anyone and left directly.

This day…was exceptionally long.

Soon, pieces of news spread, converged, and then everyone in Mengyang City was stunned.

So fierce Shi Hao was!

Last night, he had killed Yang Chao and his son, that day, he had disabled three deputy deans at Starwind Academy, attacked the Song Family, knocked down two Primary Level martial masters, single-handedly held off eight hundred City Guards, and killed Song Tianming on the spot.

Finally, he had gone to the City Lord’s Mansion, defeated the Intermediate Level martial master Chen Zihao, and took the life of the City Lord’s wife.

Throughout the entire process, he remained unharmed.

Was this even human? He was more like a demon!

But upon understanding the whole story, killing Yang Chao and his son was because Yang Shi’an had molested someone first, and Shi Hao was merely assisting the victim, which led to the Yang Family’s retaliation and infuriated him, resulting in a massacre.

The Song Family was similar, with Song Tianming striking first.

The City Lord’s wife?

That was even more ironic. Shi Hao had saved the City Lord’s son, leaving the City Lord’s wife holding a grudge and arranging an assassination first.

Therefore, throughout the process, Shi Hao never actively provoked anyone; he was simply defending himself.

Of course, his self-defense was different from others, much more forceful, entirely flattening two wealthy families.

Who would have thought that this half-disabled man, once worried about being dismissed during the annual test, would soar to such heights!

Within Starwind Academy, how many girls regretted not pursuing Shi Hao earlier? If they had, they might now be sharing in his glory and receiving the envy of other girls.

The male students regretted a lot, and those who had mocked Shi Hao were even more terrified. If Shi Hao came after them… Damn, he even killed the City Lord’s wife, what wouldn’t he dare to do?

Inside Rejuvenate Hall, including Wu Shibai, everyone was so excited they felt like crying.

They were still planning on how to help Shi Hao overcome the trouble caused by the deaths of Yang Chao and his son, and yet, in just one night, Shi Hao had resolved it himself.

—I brought the City Lord’s Mansion to its knees, who will hold him accountable?

Such domineering presence!

Following such a master was damn exhilarating.

In Zixing Jewelry Shop, Ruan Jiaoyu leaned her cheek on her hand, and even while sitting, she couldn’t help but twist her voluptuous and perky buttocks as she murmured, “This young man can set up formations that gather the energy of heaven and earth, and he easily defeated Chen Zihao, who had broken through the fifth extreme. He is no ordinary person.”

“Why would he be a disciple from a Great Sect, yet choose to come here?”

“Could he also be the illegitimate son of some powerhouse?”

“No, I must keep a close eye on him.”

…

Shi Hao went to Rejuvenate Hall and picked up some medicinal materials to prepare the “Reveal Root Powder,” which was used to test the Spirit Root.

He simply prepared the medicine in the pharmacy, and by the time everything was settled, it was dinner time. He shamelessly stayed to freeload a meal, and his huge appetite made the shop assistants groan in misery; they were barely half-full because he ate so much.

—However, when they heard about Shi Hao’s legendary story the next day, they felt a strong sense of pride.

Being able to sit at the same table and compete for food with such an extraordinary person, how many years could they brag about it?

Shi Hao returned to his yard and rested with peace of mind.

He wasn’t afraid of being attacked at night. His physique was so robust that even if he were suddenly hit by a Cloud-Piercing Crossbow, it wouldn’t injure him, as long as it avoided vital points.

Moreover, he slept with great alertness; it was impossible for anyone to sneak in unnoticed.

Overnight, the whole Mengyang City was buzzing, with everyone talking about Shi Hao’s legend.

But Shi Hao himself was indifferent. He continued his medicinal baths, practiced the Tyrant Body Technique, and cultivated the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture. This time, the enhancement of his strength returned to its normal trajectory, reaching an impressive four thousand kilograms.

Thirty-one thousand kilograms.

Next, he was going to the County Town.

Sea King Territory, governed over eighteen ordinary cities, Mengyang City being one of them.

Since it is the County Town, the martial arts level in Sea King Territory was naturally a notch higher than in Mengyang City, having not only high-level martial masters but even Martial Sects!

It was said that Commandery Prince Chu Wei was a Primary Level Martial Sect, also the only Martial Sect in Sea King Territory, a distant cousin of the Royal Family, descended from the ninth son of the Ancestor, who had been given a fief in Sea King Territory to rule for generations.

Shi Hao still couldn’t defeat a Primary Level Martial Sect, but in a few days, he would be able to trample them underfoot.

Thus, all he needed was to train for a few more days.

He certainly didn’t lack patience.

Before long, two days had passed.

Shi Hao encountered another limit in martial arts, the forty thousand kilogram milestone.

This was supposed to be a limit for high-level martial masters, yet for him, it was only reaching the end of a primary martial master level.

Unquestionably, under the onslaught of the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture, the limit was instantly shattered.

Intermediate Martial Master!

Moreover, Shi Hao’s strength reached forty-three thousand kilograms!

—The starting point of a Primary Level Martial Sect is merely forty thousand kilograms.

Now, Shi Hao already possessed the initial strength to confront a Primary Level Martial Sect. If he used a Sun-Level martial technique, he could even sweep away a peak Primary Level Martial Sect powerhouse.

Just then, Liu Mang arrived.
