Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Chi Zhong! Chi Dao!

This guy with an unbelievable level of cultivation must have some connection to Chi Dao!

"That's right, Chi Dao is my cousin brother!" Chi Zhong laughed, as if nothing else mattered. Indeed, he was close to reaching the Vajra Realm, so his arrogance wasn't entirely unwarranted!

Chu Hao also extended his hand; since the other party was being polite, he wouldn't lose his manners either.

They shook hands, and Chi Zhong didn't play any tricks to intimidate Chu Hao during the handshake. He quickly let go and, placing his hands behind his back, said, "My visit this time is firstly to ease my mind and to have a bout with an old rival. Secondly, entrusted by my cousin, I am here to ask you for a beast pet!"

Here we go again!

Chu Hao smiled faintly and said, "I'm really sorry, but I have no intention of selling!"

"I have no intention of buying either. You can just give it to me!" Chi Zhong wore a look of pride.

Why were all the people from the Chi family like this, one after another, each so full of themselves?

"And if I refuse?" asked Chu Hao.

"Then it would be a bit troublesome!" Chi Zhong rubbed his hands together, "Relax! Relax! I am not like Chi Dao, that fool, who always demands and threatens to rob, and then runs off with his tail between his legs. Madam Yun has quite a reputation!"

"Anyway, I am also a student of Thousand Winds Academy. No one should have any objections to us sparring every day, right?"

No one would object? That would be strange!

You damn are a Sixth Tier Great Mahayana practitioner! Not to mention the students from Heavenly Court, even if the two vice-deans joined forces, they might not be your match!

Moreover, if even someone like Chi Dao could get the City Lord's Order, what about Chi Zhong?

Chu Hao's thoughts raced. Madam Yun's influence was significant, or rather, the Ling Family behind her had enough clout to be comparable with the Chi Family, but not enough to make the Chi Family step down excessively.

Therefore, Chi Zhong only dared to cause trouble within the limits of the rules. Theoretically speaking, it was not a problem for Chi Zhong to join Heavenly Court — he was not yet 20 years old and had reached the Middle Mahayana realm!

Only, his achievement was a bit too great, shooting straight up to the Sixth Tier of the Great Mahayana realm!

"No time like the present, Chu Hao, let's spar!" Chi Zhong spread a smile on his face.

"I'm in!" Whew, a gust of strong wind blew, and a slim, beautiful woman leapt over, unceremoniously swinging her right fist towards Chi Zhong!

The strong wind roared, causing a series of sonic booms, crackling and echoing chaotically!

Chi Zhong casually lifted his hand and threw a punch.

"Senior Sister Fu, be careful!" Chu Hao quickly called out, recognizing the hot-tempered nature that could only belong to Fu Xue, the Female Tyrannosaurus.

Boom!

As the two exchanged punches, Chi Zhong naturally stood tall and unmovable, whereas Fu Xue had to step back five paces to steady herself.

Seeing this, everyone unavoidably gaped in astonishment!

Fu Xue... was too strong!

To think she could engage in a power struggle with a Sixth Tier Great Mahayana practitioner and only step back five paces, though defeated, she was still honorable!

"Eh, I didn't expect to find such a talent in this little Eastern Cloud City!" Chi Zhong revealed an interested expression, "I've decided, I'll take you as a concubine!"

Everyone's face twitched at his words, clearly, Chi Zhong had not seen Fu Xue wield the Great Yuan Hammer. Who would dare to marry this Female Tyrannosaurus? One wrong move and wouldn't she be chasing them with the hammer?

However, since Chi Zhong was a young Sixth Tier Great Mahayana and might one day become the strongest Tenth Tier in the Vajra Realm, it seemed that only he could subdue this Female Tyrannosaurus.

Fu Xue sneered, "If you're not afraid of having your 'stuff' kicked to pieces, feel free to propose to the Fu Family."

So vulgar, so violent!

"Hahaha, I love a woman with this kind of personality!" Chi Zhong laughed heartily, clearly very pleased. He then turned to Chu Hao, "I'll let you off for today! But don't you always hide behind a woman!"

With that, he strutted away.

"Chi Zhong!" Chu Hao called out, and when Chi Zhong paused, Chu Hao added, "At next year's New Year festival, I will challenge you!"

"You want me to wait that long?" Chi Zhong replied without turning back, "Haha, but it just so happens I won't be going back until after the New Year, so I accept! I'm giving you so much time, if you lose, you'll have to give me the beast pet!"

"Agreed!" Chu Hao said, his voice resolute.

"So be it! But you better hope I don't see you around the academy. Otherwise... heh heh!" With that, he started walking again and soon disappeared from view.

"Pfft!" Fu Xue suddenly trembled, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her body swaying unsteadily.

Without regard for propriety, Chu Hao quickly reached out to support her, asking, "Senior Sister, are you hurt?"

"This guy is really tough!" Fu Xue lifted her right fist which she had kept hidden behind her, revealing a sunken area as several bones were clearly broken!

A Second Tier Great Mahayana realm against a Sixth Tier, the gap is indeed obvious! Yet her spirit is so fierce, she actually bore it just now, without making even the slightest sound of pain!

Chu Hao felt a surge of anger boiling in his chest, wanting to roar into the heavens!

Chi Dao wanted his beast pet, and he was wrong for refusing? But Chi Dao, using the power of the City Lord's Mansion, had shut down the Fortune Full Building for several days! Without the help of Madam Yun, he would have been utterly helpless!

And now, Chi Zhong had arrived, just as arrogant and overbearing! He even dragged innocent Fu Xue into it, causing her to get hurt!

At this moment, Chu Hao desperately craved power!

He wanted the power to defeat Chi Zhong! Even more, he wanted the power to overturn the Chi Family, to prevent them from continuously sending out family members one after another, never ending!

"Senior Sister, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this!" Chu Hao said apologetically.

"Hahaha, to be able to battle with such an expert, I couldn't ask for more!" Fu Xue's eyes shone, "If he can cultivate to the Sixth Tier Great Mahayana realm at such a young age, it means I can too!"

Not necessarily! Chu Hao immediately shook his head in his heart.

For example, not everyone can absorb Star Stones at this stage! In addition, both the Fire Spirit Pill and the Fire Origin Pill were only in the hands of the City Lord's Mansion, and with the Chi Family's domineering attitude, seeming even above the City Lord's Mansion, it would be very easy for them to obtain Fire Origin Pills, even Fire Spirit Pills!

If one has good physical constitution, they can start cultivating at 14, even 13 years old. Just taking one Fire Spirit Pill a day, from 14 to 17 years old, three years could add a hundred thousand catties of strength!

Therefore, Chu Hao wasn't too surprised that Chi Zhong had become a Sixth Tier Great Mahayana realm warrior, but such an accomplishment was not something any noble family's son in Eastern Cloud City could replicate!

The Fu Family can't! The Tang Family can't! None of them can!

It's like poor families can't afford to send their children to study at the Thousand Winds Academy, compared to the Chi Family, the nobles of Eastern Cloud City are like poor households!

"Senior Sister, I will definitely avenge this grudge!" Chu Hao clenched his fist.

"Nonsense!" Fu Xue immediately jumped up, "This opponent is mine! I will definitely defeat him!"

She really is a warrior at heart! However, if she weren't so combative, she probably wouldn't have stepped into the Second Tier Great Mahayana realm at her age! Some people are just like that, the greater the pressure, the stronger the enemy, the more they can stimulate their potential, and they progress frightfully fast!

Chu Hao couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, leave this guy to Senior Sister to deal with, and I'll go to the Chi Family to make Chi Dao kneel down and admit his mistake!"

His challenge was much greater!

A Chi Zhong alone was already so formidable, how many experts must the Chi Family have? And to break into the Chi Family and make Chi Dao kneel down and apologize, it was absolutely only possible after defeating all the experts of the Chi Family!

"Good!" Fu Xue heartily patted Chu Hao on the shoulder, but she clearly forgot that her right hand was severely injured, resulting in a hiss of pain.

...

Chu Hao thought of what Madam Yun said: if he wanted to speed up his cultivation, he needed to give himself external pressure, like the impact of a waterfall. He already planned to leave the city, as his family's financial resources were cut off and the Star Stones would eventually run out, so he needed to find other ways to get Star Stones.

The appearance of Chi Zhong only made him more determined in this thought.

The next day, Chu Hao sent Uncle Yu to stay temporarily with the Tang Family, and then left the city with Flying Fire.

There were no large waterfalls in the Blackwood Forest, Chu Hao thought all night and decided to go to Grey Flat Mountain.

This was the closest large mountain range to Eastern Cloud City, with all sorts of ferocious beasts from the Lesser Mahayana realm to the Vajra Realm. When he was able to battle fiercely with a Sixth Tier Great Mahayana realm beast, he would qualify to confront Chi Zhong.

If he couldn't do it, he had no face to come back!

Playing with Flying Fire along the way made the journey far from lonely, and in just five days, he arrived at the foot of Grey Flat Mountain.

The mountain was not extraordinarily majestic, but stretching out for dozens of miles with an altitude over three thousand meters. Grey Flat Mountain's most distinct feature was the lack of perilous peaks, as if the mountaintops had been sliced off by the heavens—it was exceptionally flat.

Combined with the primary vegetation of grey pine trees, the whole mountain appeared dim and grey, hence the name Grey Flat Mountain.

Entering the mountain, he quickly found a small waterfall with a layer of rock below to catch the water, which then bounced back up seven or eight meters before falling into the lake below.

"Flying Fire, wait here for me!" Chu Hao set Little Leopard aside and started to strip off his upper body clothes, walking bare-shouldered towards the bottom of the waterfall.

Flying Fire bit the hem of Chu Hao's trousers, dragging them like slippers, led step by step by Chu Hao's foot.

"Eh, you've grown teeth?" Chu Hao was surprised, noting that Little Leopard's mouth now bore white teeth tinier than grains of rice.

"Ao—" Flying Fire let out a cat-like roar, brimming with pride.

"You have to grow up quickly too, so you can help me beat the bad guys!" Chu Hao said with a smile, rubbing Little Leopard's head. But Flying Fire once again seized the hem of his trousers. "Do you want to cultivate under the waterfall too?"

Chu Hao stroked his chin, saying, "Alright then! But you're too small, you probably won't last very long!"

He stepped under the waterfall, and immediately his body shook, a powerful impact hit him, almost making him spit blood. Little Leopard screamed and was swept straight into the lake by the waterfall.

Thankfully, it was naturally skilled at swimming, and it immediately paddled its short limbs towards Chu Hao.

Chu Hao barely managed to sit cross-legged, took out a Star Stone from his pocket, and began to absorb it.

He had to increase his strength as soon as possible!
