However, outside the competition, trouble arose again!

Despite enhanced defenses, a new victim still appeared the next day.

Like before, a dried-up corpse with a blissful smile.

How could a body turn like this overnight? And who was behind it? Was it a human… or a ghost!

If it had been when Chu Hao first arrived at Sky Martial Star, he absolutely wouldn't have believed in the existence of ghosts! But after encountering wandering bones in the ancient graveyard, Chu Hao was no longer so sure.

Maybe ghosts really did exist!

Because a force of a million jin was still within Chu Hao's acceptable range, but a Martial Disciple being merely the lowest realm in the Martial Arts Tenth Realm, was this still a high martial world?

Similarly, this did not affect the elimination contest the next day.

Not only was Chu Hao in the upper half, but his fight with Chi Dao was also the first match!

"Chu Hao, teach that kid a good lesson!" Tang Xin said.

Chu Hao nodded, he was planning to do so without Tang Xin saying! Back in Eastern Cloud City, Chi Dao had bullied others by relying on his status, and although he had been chased away by Madam Yun, for Chu Hao, this grudge was not yet settled!

It had been owed for so long, it was time to pay it back!

"Chu Hao, try your best, I'm hoping to meet you in the finals!" Fu Xue yawned as she spoke, Le Deqing and Yu Wenjing could only cheer them on like Tang Xin, as due to the Searing Heart Pill, they hadn't made any progress in strength for half a year.

Chu Hao laughed heartily and said, "Your half has Mo Guxin, you'll have a tough battle ahead!"

Fu Xue nodded and said, "Just speaking from current strength, that guy is indeed a cut above me! However, battles depend on performance at the moment, this time, I think I have a 30% chance of winning!"

Only 30%!

Chu Hao had never underestimated Fu Xue, even this brimming-with-confidence Female Tyrannosaurus was saying she only had a 30% chance of winning, showing just how strong Mo Guxin was!

"Senior Sister, good luck!"

"You shouldn't be careless either, the martial techniques wielded by people of this world… far surpass those from ours!" Fu Xue said, "Chi Family is one of the nine Sixth Rank Noble Families, that guy might have mastered an Earth Level Martial Technique!"

Earth Level Martial Technique!

Chu Hao unconsciously nodded; he himself had mastered a High-Grade Human Level Martial Technique! Earth Level Martial Technique… even if it was a Lower Grade Earth Level Martial Technique, its power would definitely far exceed a High-Grade Human Level!

But, could Chi Dao really have learned an Earth Level Martial Technique?

Such a powerful technique must have been listed as the Chi Family's top Ultimate Technique, and with Chi Dao's current weak strength, what if he was captured, forced to reveal the Ultimate Technique, and then silenced?

It's likely that only core members of the Chi Family were qualified to learn such techniques, or maybe… Chi Kuan!

Moreover, now that everyone hadn't cultivated Star Force yet, regardless of the martial technique, its power would be greatly reduced. In this situation of reduced martial technique prowess, the inherent strength level and adaptability would more likely decide the outcome of the battles.

"I understand!"

"Then, I look forward to your victory!" Fu Xue smiled.

"Of course!" Chu Hao walked towards the competition grounds.

Actually, this so-called competition ground was merely a slightly tidied-up open space, naturally, there were no spectator stands, everyone just found rocks to sit down on, those who couldn't see climbed up the trees.

"Begin!" An official presided over the battle, naturally, there was no nonsense.

"Finally, we meet again!" Chi Dao raised his eyebrows at Chu Hao and then pointed a finger, "You shouldn't have come! A dog from the Lower World should just stay quietly in the Lower World. Coming here, there is only one outcome, and that is to be beaten!"

Boom!

Hearing him say this, a round of discussion suddenly erupted all around, disciples of the Native Faction naturally cheered, while disciples from the Lower World were extremely displeased. It seemed that the regional conflict stirred up by Huang Yu had not faded with time but had intensified instead!

"Quiet! Quiet!" An official in the center shouted loudly, his powerful voice immediately suppressed everyone's voices. He glanced at Chi Dao, dissatisfied, and said, "Start fighting immediately, or I declare you the loser!"

"Chu Hao, I have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Chi Dao charged forward, throwing a Charging Fist at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao met the punch squarely, but Chi Dao's move was a feint, the shadow of his fist flashed, disappearing from in front of Chu Hao and reappearing aiming at Chu Hao's lower abdomen.

"You are not worthy to be my enemy!" Chi Dao shouted loudly.

Bang!

Chu Hao lifted a leg, blocking Chi Dao's punch, a force rebounded, making his ankle go numb.

Chi Dao flipped in midair, landing five meters away, he laughed heartily and said, "Don't forget, my body has been soaked in medicinal liquid since I was young! In the past year, my body's strength has increased many times over!"

"I know you are stronger than me, but facing my defense, you're powerless!"

"This is the foundation of our Chi Family!"

He laughed arrogantly and unreservedly.

Chu Hao shook his numb legs, indeed feeling a bit numb, but this strike also gave him a clear understanding of Chi Dao's strength—mid fifth-tier, roughly 550,000 jin of force!

But for a family like the Chi Family... they definitely had a Treasure Artifact!

Thus, the maximum force Chi Dao could exert might be able to reach seventh-tier, or maybe even Eighth Tier!

Not less than him!

With such a formidable body, Chi Dao's arrogance indeed had its foundation.

Chu Hao showed a smile, if his opponent were too weak, victory wouldn't be satisfying!

"Come and fight!" he said indifferently.

"I really despise that apathetic demeanor of yours!" Chi Dao snorted, "Because you simply don't have the strength or confidence to back it up!"

He took a deep breath, his wrist suddenly lit up, and he burst forward with a punch!

The force of the punch soared!

He used a Treasure Artifact!

Unafraid, Chu Hao's fist tensed, and he met the opponent head-on.

It had only been a short fight when Chi Dao changed his technique, surprisingly switching from fist to palm, unleashing a new Martial Technique.

"Chu Hao, I know your combat talent is high. After a few uses of any Martial Technique in front of you, you can spot its flaws!" Chi Dao gave Chu Hao a high evaluation, "But don't be proud, it's only because no one can use Star Force, which lets you easily see through them!"

He launched three consecutive palm strikes, creating a howling wind, "But you're facing me! Chi Dao, a disciple of the Chi Family! My Chi Family possesses Martial Techniques far beyond your imagination!"

"Try and break through, then!"

"Hahahaha!"

He roared with laughter, his attacks flowing endlessly.

Chu Hao scoffed and said with a laugh, "In the hands of the weak, what does it matter if they master millions of Martial Techniques?"

"You're calling me weak?" Chi Dao shouted in anger.

"That's all!" Chu Hao's expression grew stern as he now deployed the Mad Demon Hammer Technique.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His fists, like hammers, pummeled towards Chi Dao violently.

Actually, if he had used the Shocking Force, he could have bypassed Chi Dao's defenses and dealt him a heavy blow! But he planned to save this technique for the final battle against Mo Guxin!

—Yes, he had already foreseen that Mo Guxin would inevitably make it out of the lower bracket!

His opponent was stronger, his martial arts talent was not inferior, and he came from a powerful family in Tianhe County, possessing Martial Techniques far beyond his own, plus a Treasure Artifact... In fact, if Chu Hao did not possess the Shocking Force, he admitted he would have less than a 20% chance of winning!

Chi Dao was not worthy enough for him to use the Shocking Force!

As soon as he employed the Mad Demon Hammer Technique, Chu Hao's offensive surged like a tide, completely overwhelming Chi Dao!

This wasn't to say he had already won, but rather the Mad Demon Hammer Technique was just like that—a madman in a fight, would he be suppressed? No! Because a madman wouldn't care about getting hurt, it was all about attacking!

Attack and attack again!

This was a momentum!

Chi Dao switched from palm to leg technique and then from leg to claw technique. He really had a diverse and varied mastery of Martial Techniques, but faced with the repetitive eighteen forms of the Mad Demon Hammer Technique, he simply had no solution!

He lacked that unyielding, battle-crazed momentum!

In a fight between martial artists, momentum is tremendously important. Originally, if the strength is equal, whichever side has the upper hand in momentum can gain the advantage in battle! Especially since Chi Dao's strength was originally slightly inferior to Chu Hao's, he naturally fell further behind.

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!

Chu Hao held back a surge of energy; he had been pressured by Chi Dao before, but now that he finally faced him in battle, how could he not return the favor in full.

Thump!

He punched Chi Dao in the face. The Mad Demon Hammer Technique continued relentlessly, boom, boom, boom, another dozen punches thrashed towards him.

"Ah!" Chi Dao screamed in retreat, both furious and humiliated. He had been slapped in the face by a lowlife from the Lower World, an immense disgrace! "You! Are! Dead!" he articulated each word intensely.

"Well done!"

"Senior Brother Chu, keep it up, knock this guy down!"

"Show him what we from the Lower World are capable of!"

Due to regional differences, the disciples naturally divided into two factions, supporting either Chu Hao or Chi Dao. Now that Chu Hao was gaining the upper hand, the disciples from the Lower World were unsurprisingly excited, as if they were the ones fighting.

"Chi Dao, counterattack quickly!"

"Don't disgrace us!"

"He's just a lowly lowlife from the Lower World, take him down!"

The Native Faction disciples naturally supported Chi Dao, equally cheering loudly.

"Chu Hao, this move was meant for Mo Guxin, but now—take my strongest strike!" Chi Dao wiped the blood from his mouth, stretched out his right hand into a fist, and hiss, a white smoke immediately rose from his fist, as if it were emitting high temperature.

"No way! No way!"

"The ultimate technique of the Chi Family! Fiery Tiger Fist!"

"This requires the Fire Attribute Star Force to activate, its fierce temperature can directly burn a person's internal organs! But without Star Force, it's just an empty shell!"

"No, don't forget, there's still one thing!"

"Red, Red Flame Crystal!"

"Correct!"

Amidst the buzzing discussion of the crowd, boom, Chi Dao's right fist burst into flames!
