Chapter 428: Qin Shaolong’s Challenge

Chapter 428: Qin Shaolong's Challenge

Soon, Tianfa Divine Lord left the private room, leaving only Wu Hao, Lu Cangjing, Cheng Zishen, and Qin Shaolong at the scene.

Previously, they hadn't noticed anything, but after Tianfa Divine Lord left, they felt a wave of oppressive pressure coming from Wu Hao. Not knowing what to say, they could only sit there, feeling somewhat restless.

Just then, Qin Shaolong, not far away, finally made up his mind. With a determined expression, he walked up to Wu Hao, raised his hands in a cupped fist salute, and said,

"Senior Myriad Paths, I would like to spar with you."

Hearing Qin Shaolong's words, Wu Hao couldn't help but cast a surprised look at him. Clearly, he hadn't expected anyone to want to spar with him.

Cheng Zishen, who was to the side, had his expression change upon hearing Qin Shaolong's words. He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Qin Shaolong, and said,

"Are you crazy?"

"Senior, please do not take offense. He just likes to fight."

Wu Hao shook his head, looked at Qin Shaolong, and asked with an amused tone,

"Interesting. Why do you want to spar with me?"

Hearing this, Qin Shaolong's expression became extremely serious, and he spoke in a solemn tone,

"Because I want to become stronger. However, my current routine of Cultivate has reached a bottleneck, and I cannot advance any further. Therefore, I want to spar with a strong expert to seek an Opportunity for a Breakthrough. And Senior, you are the strong expert I have been looking for!"

"Senior, please, fight me!"

"Oh? Have you not fought with Tianfa Divine Lord before?"

Wu Hao was a bit puzzled. After all, Qin Shaolong was a Divine Venerable Middle Stage expert. If he were to fight Tianfa Divine Lord in the name of a spar, Tianfa Divine Lord surely wouldn't refuse.

"That is because Tianfa Divine Lord is no longer my match."

Hearing this, Wu Hao was slightly surprised and couldn't help but think more highly of Qin Shaolong. To have already reached the God Venerable Realm and still be able to defeat an enemy by bypassing a small Realm, Qin Shaolong could be called a top-tier Prodigy.

Therefore, facing Qin Shaolong's challenge, Wu Hao did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

"Very well, but now is not the time. Let's wait until the transaction is finished."

"Thank you, Senior."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shaolong hurriedly cupped his fists to express his gratitude.

Cheng Zishen, to the side, was also surprised but quickly felt happy for his old friend. It was just a pity that he wasn't skilled in combat; otherwise, he would also want to ask for guidance from the Senior before him.

Soon, carrying ten billion units of Top-grade Divine Source and the Heaven And Earth Treasure that Wu Hao needed, Tianfa Divine Lord rushed back.

"Senior, here are the items you requested. Please feel free to check them."

Wu Hao shook his head, waved his hand, and swept his Divine Sense over them before speaking.

"No need to check. I trust the integrity of your Shenwu Pavilion."

"Senior, then…?"

Tianfa Divine Lord looked eagerly at the Chaos Bell in Wu Hao's hand. Seeing this, Wu Hao did not hesitate and directly handed the Chaos Bell to Tianfa Divine Lord.

After receiving the Chaos Bell, Tianfa Divine Lord was ecstatic and quickly completed the recognition of ownership. After the process was finished, Tianfa Divine Lord gained a clear understanding of the Chaos Bell's power.

It is no exaggeration to say that holding the Chaos Bell, Tianfa Divine Lord even had the confidence to clash with a Divine Emperor Realm expert, although only at the Divine Emperor Early Stage, and although in all likelihood he could only hold out for three moves.

But that was already quite remarkable. After all, that was a God Emperor; everyone below the God Emperor is but an ant!

"Thank you for your generosity, Senior. Senior, this is our Shenwu Pavilion's Platinum Card. With this Platinum Card, you can get a 30% discount on all purchases within our Shenwu Pavilion."

After putting away the Chaos Bell, Tianfa Divine Lord did not hesitate to take out an exquisitely crafted card. This was the VIP card that was extremely precious throughout the entire Shenwu Pavilion.

The Shenwu Pavilion's VIP cards are divided into three Ranks: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The first two can be obtained just by spending enough money within the Shenwu Pavilion. Only the Platinum Card is the most precious; there are only five in the entire Shenwu Pavilion, and the one given to Wu Hao was the very last one.

"You have been thoughtful."

Wu Hao nodded and directly put away the Platinum Card. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Heavenly Emperor Sect is established in the Profound Thunder Domain, and it will inevitably deal with the Shenwu Pavilion in the future. Obtaining a Platinum Card has only advantages and no disadvantages for him.

Seeing Wu Hao accept the Platinum Card, Tianfa Divine Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wu Hao accepted it, it could be considered establishing a connection with him. If there were any issues in the future, perhaps he could ask Wu Hao to intervene.

At this very moment, Wu Hao was recognized by Tianfa Divine Lord and everyone present as definitely being a Divine Emperor Realm expert.

A God Emperor, even in the entire Divine Realm, is considered an expert with rare rivals. Being on good terms with Wu Hao is definitely an honor for their Shenwu Pavilion.

Just then, Qin Shaolong, who was to the side, spoke up with a pleading tone.

"Senior, I wonder if now is possible?"

"What happened?"

Tianfa Divine Lord didn't know what had happened and asked with some confusion.

Cheng Zishen hurriedly explained what had happened earlier.

Hearing this, Tianfa Divine Lord cupped his fists towards Wu Hao and said,

"Senior Myriad Paths, I wonder if we might be able to watch the battle from the side."

Cheng Zishen and Lu Cangjing both cast expectant looks. After all, being able to see a battle between experts of this level was definitely a good thing for them.

Wu Hao naturally did not refuse and nodded to indicate his tacit approval.

"Let's go. This is not a convenient place for a fight."

As Wu Hao's words fell, the surrounding environment changed in the next second. This shocked Tianfa Divine Lord and the others; they hadn't even reacted before they were taken away by Wu Hao, and this place did not seem to be the Divine Realm.

As if knowing that Tianfa Divine Lord and the others would ask, Wu Hao simply spoke ahead of time.

"This place is my Internal World. Fighting here will not be perceived by people outside. Additionally, to show respect for you, I will use the strength of the God Venerable Middle Stage, the same Realm as you, to fight."

After Wu Hao finished speaking, his aura began to drop sharply in the next second. It quickly fell from the God Emperor Early Stage to the God-Venerable Peak, then to the Late Stage, and finally to the Middle Stage.

Feeling Wu Hao's aura, Tianfa Divine Lord and the others in the distance frowned tightly. Although they perceived that Wu Hao was truly at the God Venerable Middle Stage, his aura was far more formidable than Qin Shaolong's.

One must know that both were at the God Venerable Middle Stage, and Qin Shaolong was a top-tier Prodigy who could even fight Tianfa Divine Lord, who was at the God Paragon Late Stage, to a 60/40 split. Just how powerful was Wu Hao's strength then?

Facing everything Wu Hao had done, Qin Shaolong respectfully cupped his fists to thank Wu Hao before speaking.

"I am going to attack, Senior. Be careful!"
