Sheng Hao's Test
Sheng Hao's figure then appeared in the pavilion.
"Elders of the Ghost Spirit Faction, I wonder if my words represent the attitude of the Natural Spirit Faction?" Sheng Hao said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder and the two family heads exchanged glances. Finally, the head of the Feng Family spoke up, "Young Master Sheng's words certainly represent the attitude of the Natural Spirit Faction. In that case, we will not disturb the Dragon King's rest any longer. Farewell, Dragon King!"
The others also bid farewell to Ha Long and left.
"Hey, Sheng Hao, what's the matter with helping me? This Dragon King doesn't believe you're so kind!" The Little Dragon curled his lips indifferently, sat down with his legs propped up on the table, and kept shaking them.
Sheng Hao was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure.
Sheng Hao said to the Little Dragon in a very formal manner, "Dragon King, do you mind if I sit down first? I do have something to discuss with you."
Little Dragon waved his right hand dismissively and said, "Stop beating around Dragon King bush, sit down. I like straightforward people. Just say what you need. You helped me just now, even though it wasn't of much use to me, it was still a help. Just tell me what you need, and I'll help if I can!"
Sheng Hao walked to the opposite side of Little Dragon, sat down calmly, and said with a touch of arrogance, "Since you put it that way, I'll be more straightforward. I'm determined to win this martial arts contest for marriage. Among all the contestants, there are only you, Dragon King, and Carefree King that I'm not confident I can defeat. So I'd like to ask Dragon King, what are your thoughts on this martial arts contest for marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon burst into laughter. "A martial arts contest to find a wife, hoohoo... This Dragon King isn't thinking about finding a wife to manage me right now! Don't worry about me, kid. As for my second brother?" Little Dragon mysteriously smacked his lips.
"How is Senior Carefree King?" Sheng Hao was most concerned about Zhang Xingfeng's lack of confidence in the Dragon King because none of the previous Dragon King had ever experienced failure.
As for Zhang Xingfeng, Sheng Hao had absolutely no idea about Zhang Xingfeng's true strength, but the strength he knew of Zhang Xingfeng was probably greater than his own.
Little Dragon blinked twice and said bluntly, "My second brother? He's different from me. He has a sister -Yu Yan now, and I heard he's also looking for that sister-in-law named Yuwen Rou whom I've never met. Hehe, two at once! Sheng Hao, you should know by now that my second brother is different from me. He's a womanizer, and he might just participate!"
Sheng Hao was immediately taken aback.
Little Dragon, however, put his legs down, swayed his head, and walked out, humming, "My fickle second brother, hmph, my second brother is a fickle man, hmph..."
Sheng Hao, however, kept thinking and pondering in his mind. Finally, Sheng Hao face turned cold. "Hmph, Ying Rou is mine, and no one can take her away. If it comes to the last moment, I will simply lift the restriction. At that time, even a Spirit Venerable will not be my match, let alone this Carefree King!"
Ever since Sheng Hao learned that the Chaos Origin Stone was to be handed over to Ying Rou, he had been secretly keeping an eye on her.
Chaos Origin Stone are extremely precious. With Chaos Origin Stone, you can make your enemies from the Spirit Sect do things for you. With Chaos Origin Stone, you can also have two Spirit Lords from the Natural Spirit Faction grant you one wish.
Of course, the Chaos Origin Stone is the most important thing to Sheng Hao... With the Chaos Origin Stone, he will surpass everyone in the Spirit Realm! The Chaos Origin Stone will only be useful to him! Only in his hands can the Chaos Origin Stone unleash its inner energy!
Sheng Hao has always been extremely cunning; even the two Spirit Venerables couldn't see through his true nature. All he ever pursued was immense strength and power! To achieve this goal, he cultivated relentlessly, and he also ran the Dark Devour Cult!
Originally, Sheng Hao thought he would never fall in love, but he was wrong. For two years, he kept paying attention to Yuwen Rou, from the Chaos Origin Stone at the beginning to now... just to see Ying Rou one more time.
He, Sheng Hao, has truly fallen in love with Ying Rou!
If he had to choose between the Chaos Origin Stone and Ying Rou, he would definitely choose Ying Rou with great hesitation right now.
For him, the Chaos Origin Stone represented invincibility, the greatest strength, and the fulfillment of his past goals.
However, for Ying Rou's sake, he was willing to give up the Chaos Origin Stone.
In the attic where Zhang Xingfeng lived, he was enjoying a cup of tea, a rare treat that Zhang Xingfeng Yu Yan had brought from the Tianxin Sect.
"Yu Yan, you know what, this tea tastes just as good as fine wine. By the way, Yu Yan, how is your cultivation going these days?" Zhang Xingfeng asked Yu Yan, who was sitting opposite him, holding a teacup.
Yu Yan held the teacup in both hands and said with a smile, "It's quite fast. With the Divine Stone beside us, the speed at which the immortal energy gathers is extremely fast. It's almost at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
Zhang Xingfeng sighed inwardly, because he knew that when he broke through to the Heavenly God realm, Yu Yan would probably only reach the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm at most. At that time, would the two of them have to break up and leave Yu Yan in the Cultivation World?
Zhang Xingfeng was troubled, but there was nothing he could do.
"Senior Carefree King! Sheng Hao has come to pay his respects!" Sheng Hao walked in from outside the courtyard gate.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng immediately turned to look in the direction of the door, where Sheng Hao was walking over with a smile.
"I wonder what brings Young Master Sheng to my place? It seems I have nothing here that could attract Young Master Sheng!" Zhang Xingfeng said jokingly.
Sheng Hao sighed deeply and slowly sat down on a chair in the living room, saying, "I came here this time hoping that Senior Carefree King can give me the upper hand!"
"Give you an edge? What do you mean?" Zhang Xingfeng asked, somewhat puzzled.
Sheng Hao then said, "Senior is also one of the contestants in this martial arts contest to find a husband. I am confident that I can win against the others, but I have no confidence at all against you. However, I love Ying Rou so much. I hope you will grant my wish and let me become the number one."
After listening, Zhang Xingfeng slowly put down his teacup, thought for a while, and then glanced at Sheng Hao. Zhang Xingfeng could feel Sheng Hao's inner feelings, and his heart told him that what Sheng Hao said was true!
"So what if you get first place? In the end, it's still Ying Rou who chooses to become her Ying Rou dao companion. At most, you can ask the Ghost Spirit Faction for a treasure if you get first place, but for your Sheng Family, they probably won't even care about a treasure!" Zhang Xingfeng said, feeling that Sheng Hao's thinking seemed a bit problematic.
Sheng Hao immediately replied, "No, senior, of course I don't care about a treasure, but I haven't known Ying Rou for very long. It's only been a little over a year since we first spoke. Although we get along fairly well, we haven't had much interaction. So I want her to get to know me. She'll be watching the competition. I must let her truly understand me through the competition. I even want her to fall in love with me!"
Zhang Xingfeng chuckled and said, "Young Master Sheng, don't be naive. You think a martial arts contest will make her fall in love with you? That's far too unrealistic. You haven't succeeded in over a year, and you're dreaming of it in just a few days... It's really..."
Sheng Hao retorted sharply, "Senior, you're wrong. Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, and beauties have always loved the strong. Only if I demonstrate sufficient strength will she pay more attention to me. Only by becoming number one, becoming the strongest, will my chances be greater!"
Sheng Hao's expression was firm and unwavering, and he exuded the aura of a peerless master.
Zhang Xingfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Since you say so, there's nothing I can do. But at least you don't have to worry about me. I already have Yu Yan. As long as I find another wife, I'll be satisfied. There's no way I'd participate in a martial arts contest like yours. This invitation only serves one purpose for me: to make Yu Yan and my life a little more colorful!" Zhang Xingfeng and Yu Yan smiled at each other, a warm feeling welling up in their hearts.
Seeing Zhang Xingfeng and Yu Yan's affectionate appearance, Sheng Hao was overjoyed and immediately said, "Senior Carefree King has a sister-in- Yu Yan named Sheng Hao, which I truly envy. Hehe, I won't disturb you any longer, I'll take my leave now!"
Zhang Xingfeng nodded slightly to Sheng Hao.
Sheng Hao immediately left Zhang Xingfeng's attic.
When Sheng Hao reached the outside of the pavilion courtyard, Sheng Hao expression suddenly turned hysterical. "Not choosing me? Hmph, if I come in first place and she still doesn't choose me, then I'll take back the Chaos Origin Stone. Then, anyone who tries to take Ying Rou from me, I'll kill them!"
Suddenly, Sheng Hao turned to look at You Fang, and there stood Little Dragon and his three Saint Dragon Guards. Sheng Hao immediately vanished in a flash.
Little Dragon noticed Sheng Hao's background and clicked his tongue, seemingly looking down on Sheng Hao: "Hmph, if this guy has the guts, let him compete with Second Brother. Trying to pull strings and get Second Brother to go easy on him, he's not a real man!"
"Second Brother, the Dragon King is here!" The Little Dragon suddenly shouted, startling Zhang Xingfeng and Yu Yan, who were enjoying the peace and quiet.
Little Dragon quickened his pace, taking three steps in two, and in no time he was next to Zhang Xingfeng. He asked, "Second Brother, that guy Sheng Hao, did he come here to ask you to let him off the hook during the martial arts contest for a wife?"
Zhang Xingfeng seemed a little surprised and said, "Oh, Little Dragon is quite clever. How did you know?"
Little Dragon scoffed, "Hmph, that guy just searched Dragon King entire pavilion, hoping I'd let him off the hook. Heh heh, I'm just wondering, why is a Mid-grade Divine Human like him so concerned about someone like me, who's only at the early stage of an Immortal Emperor? Does he know the secret of the Dragon Pearl?"
"Dragon King!" the three Saint Dragon Guard immediately reminded him. The secret of the Dragon Pearl was a great secret, and the three of them only knew it because they had become the Dragon King's personal guards.
Little Dragon turned to the three Saint Dragon Guards and said, "Don't worry, my second brother already knew about this. Besides, who is my second brother? He's Immortal Emperor. What would I want to hide from him?"
The three Saint Dragon Guard immediately fell silent.
Little Dragon continued to say to Zhang Xingfeng, "Roar, Second Brother, I, the Dragon King, solemnly announce that I will participate in that martial arts contest to find a husband. I, the Dragon King, will definitely teach this Sheng Hao a lesson. I just can't stand this kid."
Zhang Xingfeng was a little confused. "I don't like him, but I think Sheng Hao is a good guy who dares to love and hate. And I also feel that he has really fallen in love with Ying Rou."
Little Dragon snorted coldly, "Hmph, no matter what, I just can't stand this kid. I don't know who he is, how should I put it? Hmm, I feel like Sheng Hao is a bit fake, like he's wearing a mask! Too fake, not satisfying!"
Zhang Xingfeng thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Hmm... it seems that Sheng Hao is a bit too perfect. He seems to have the feeling you described, but I still haven't found anything. If he is really a hypocrite, then the degree of his hypocrisy is too deep. Such cunning is really unimaginable. But I still don't believe that he is that kind of person!"
Based on his several meetings with Sheng Hao, Zhang Xingfeng had always harbored feelings for him.
"Those who don't heed the words of this Dragon King will suffer the consequences, hmph!" The Little Dragon snorted and poured all the tea from the teapot into his mouth at once.
"Pfft... This isn't wine, Second Brother, when did you start drinking tea?" Little Dragon suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea and shouted.
The next day was also the first day that the martial arts contest to find a husband officially began.
Zhang Xingfeng and others were all in the beautiful pavilions around the square, while some ordinary contestants shared a common courtyard.
The plaza was enormous, occupying more than half of the canyon area. According to Zhang Xingfeng's estimate, this area was at least much larger than the vast Primordial Era of the Mortal World.
However, this is a place for experts from the Spirit Realm to compete, is it not suitable?
Of course, simply having a large scope is not enough. Over a thousand top experts from the entire Spirit Realm simultaneously set up the Profound Mysterious Yin Radiance Array, the core of which was the Saint Artifact, the Profound Mysterious Yin Qin.
This Mysterious Yin Radiance is extremely gentle and benevolent. Even if a Spirit Venerable attacks, at most he can only break through this barrier, but his energy will be reduced to about one percent.
However, in battles Mid-grade Divine Human, even the barrier cannot be broken through.
This is also for the safety of the spirits watching, as the Ghost Spirit Faction is concerned.
"Everyone, my Ghost Spirit Faction is holding this martial arts contest to find a husband. Countless top experts have come here. Whoever wins first place can choose any treasure of my Ghost Spirit Faction, even if Miss Ying Rou doesn't choose him. Alright, I won't say any more. Let's prepare to start the competition according to the schedule you all received. I hereby declare the martial arts contest to begin!" The head of the Ying Family spoke crisply and concisely, without any long-winded words.
One by one, the contestants began to prepare. Many of them were not there for Ying Rou, but for the opportunity to compete against top experts.
Sheng Hao looked at the match schedule in his hand and smiled slightly, "There are eight matches in total. Well, after eight matches, Ying Rou and the Chaos Origin Stone will both be mine!" A cold aura and a blazing aura emanated from Sheng Hao...
