Chapter 1283: Consecutive Defeat of Geniuses
Wei Xianyun saw Qin Hao standing still, feeling puzzled in her heart. What is he doing? Is he deliberately holding back?
At this moment, a thunder pillar descended directly onto Qin Hao. This was demon vanquishing heaven's thunder, extremely powerful.
Wei Sheng saw Qin Hao being so presumptuous and sneered inwardly. This is a superior supreme-grade weapon.
However, when the thunder pillar struck Qin Hao, the imagined scenario did not happen. The thunder pillar, as thick as a bucket, fell on him, yet Qin Hao remained completely unmoved. Surprisingly, the thunder pillar dissipated upon encountering him, transforming into thunder power absorbed into his body.
Wei Sheng and the crowd below were utterly shocked.
What the hell is going on??
How is he completely unharmed?
Everyone present was almost dumbfounded, unable to believe what they saw. Even those from top-tier forces squinted their eyes at Qin Hao.
"What is happening? How can he be completely unaffected?"
"Indeed, how is this possible? Thunder power is one of the strongest divine skills in terms of assault capability."
"This Demon Suppressing Tower must be a fake, right? How is he completely unharmed?"
Bai Lingjia, standing on the steps and witnessing the scene, was also somewhat surprised. She realized that Qin Hao's understanding of thunder power was profound. Wei Sheng using thunder power in front of him was akin to showing off inferior craftsmanship.
Qin Hao stretched his body and looked at Wei Sheng disdainfully, saying, "Is this all your power? Even with this superior supreme-grade weapon, it's not enough."
Wei Sheng felt embarrassed and furious: "Nine thunders above."
Instantly, nine thunder pillars descended above Qin Hao, their aura strong and power shaking the heavens, changing even the sky above.
"Boom boom boom"
Nine thunder pillars fell, striking Qin Hao, yet even though the power of the thunder pillars was several times stronger than before, they did not harm Qin Hao at all. Instead, they enabled Qin Hao to recover a great deal of spiritual energy and strength.
Wei Sheng's face was dark and cloudy. How can this be? How can this be? How is he completely unharmed?
Qin Hao chuckled coldly: "Let me show you today what true thunder power is."
In a flash, dark clouds gathered in the void, thunder roared louder than before, shrouding the entire Xingyue Peak, terrifying endlessly.
"Such formidable thunder force." A strong practitioner witnessing this scene was shocked inside.
"This young man's understanding of thunder power is incredibly deep."
"Boom boom boom"
Countless thunder pillars fell, exceeding Wei Sheng's earlier ones by dozens of times.
Wei Sheng's face changed drastically, hurriedly summoning back the Demon Suppressing Tower to protect below him, as thunder pillars fell above his head.
The Demon Suppressing Tower was bombarded to the point of shaking, overwhelming Wei Sheng's face with fear.
"Boom boom"
Another thunder pillar fell, rendering Wei Sheng unable to hold on, spitting blood from his mouth, and collapsing to the ground as the Demon Suppressing Tower fell from the sky.
"Hao Tian, victory."
An elder from Xingyue Palace, acting as the referee, proclaimed, his voice echoing across the peak top.
"Is there anyone who wishes to challenge this young prodigy?" the elder of Xingyue Palace asked.
Jiang Yunming from Purple Phoenix Sect voiced, "I want to challenge this young prodigy named Hao Tian."
At this moment, he felt that Qin Hao should have consumed a considerable amount, giving him an eighty percent chance of winning if he went up.
Moreover, since Wei Sheng had gone up to fight him, he would be disgraced if he remained hidden below, should this be spread around.
Most importantly, Jiang Yunming felt Qin Hao was at the end of his strength.
The elder of Xingyue Palace didn't agree immediately but glanced at Qin Hao: "Does Haotian wish to accept the challenge? If lacking spiritual energy, you can refuse."
Qin Hao smiled faintly: "No problem, come on, dealing with such trash doesn't matter how many come."
What the hell, you're way too arrogant, not even respecting the world's prodigies.
They misunderstood Qin Hao's meaning; Qin Hao was merely targeting a few people including Jiang Yunming. Of course, Qin Hao wouldn't explain this; he genuinely thought this way—that whatever amount of trash comes, he can kill them all.
This isn't arrogance; it's confidence, a confidence of one's invincibility.
...
The elder of Xingyue Palace hadn't expected Qin Hao to say such things and felt a bit less favorable toward him internally.
Jiang Yunming flew onto the stage, gesturing for him to proceed.
"I'll let you strike first; otherwise, you won't get a chance." Qin Hao said casually.
Jiang Yunming snorted coldly, revealing a curved saber in his hand. This saber named Shattering Star Saber is a superior supreme-grade weapon with extremely strong attack power, especially when combined with powerful saber divine skills, becoming even more terrifying.
His figure moved like lightning, reaching in an instant, arriving in front of Qin Hao, simultaneously followed by dozens of saber beams.
In the fleeting moment, he had already unleashed over ten strikes.
Qin Hao's eyes flickered with thunder light, instantly forming serpent-like thunder around his body, protecting him.
The saber beams struck, colliding with the thunder power, causing the beams to dissipate and the thunder power to be consumed.
Qin Hao raised his right hand, gathering endless thunder power, condensing it into a thunder sword in his grip.
He and Jiang Yunming began to battle, with thunder force filling the skies. Qin Hao appeared like a thunder-wielding War God, unstoppable.
Even though Jiang Yunming held a superior supreme-grade weapon, he was beaten back repeatedly by Qin Hao.
The crowd was dizzy with shock; this Hao Tian is truly powerful, perhaps comparing with top-tier forces' prodigies.
When did such a monster appear on the land of Central Continent? His mastery of thunder power is simply profound.
Bai Lingjia's eyes narrowed, staring at Qin Hao. Who exactly is he? For whom is he searching? Why is he coming to my Xingyue Palace?
...
On the martial stage, Qin Hao held the thunder sword, brimming with supreme might, beating Jiang Yunming into coughing blood.
Jiang Yunming was in disbelief, how could he not have incurred great consumption after just fighting Wei Sheng? Even if the expenditure wasn't immense, why do I lose even faster than him?
Could he have not exerted full effort against Wei Sheng just now??
After more than ten rounds, Jiang Yunming could no longer withstand Qin Hao's formidable attacks, being struck by Qin Hao's thunder sword and knocked out heavily onto the martial stage.
"I lost!" Jiang Yunming had some reluctance in his heart, but he knew continuing the fight held no chance of winning.
"Haotian, victory!"
The surrounding crowd was in uproar; many had solemn expressions. After consecutively defeating two prodigies, this Qin Hao indeed has strength comparable to top-tier prodigies.
"Does anyone else wish to challenge Haotian?"
"Shui Shanshan from Purple Light Palace wishes for guidance from Haotian."
...
Within ten minutes, Shui Shanshan was kicked away by Qin Hao, heavily injured, losing combat effectiveness.
The Palace Master of Xingyue Palace looked at Qin Hao with sharp eyes shining. This young man's combat power is incredibly strong, and even as a loose cultivator, he could be recruited into Xingyue Palace. It's just unclear who brought this person here.
"I would like to spar with Haotian; what does Haotian think?"
Bai Lingjia's voice suddenly sounded, her figure appeared on the stage.
