"Is this his swordsmanship?"
On the other side of the battle stage, Red Light and the Yun Chang Woman, along with the purple-robed young man who had lost in the Imperial Hall, were watching Li Hao's match.
There was no spectacular clash. The fight ended in an instant; his opponent was too weak to make Li Hao get serious.
Even so, they could still sense the formidable Dao resonance within Li Hao's sword qi. It was terrifying.
"He does have something going for him."
Red Light narrowed his eyes, a sneer curling his lips.
The Yun Chang Woman's gaze grew grave. The Azure Sea Great Emperor had given him the incense offerings of ten cities and his choice of three peak techniques. Now it seemed he truly was a terrifying rival.
This was the Top Hundred Battle. Prince Luo Jia had made quite a name for himself in the previous rounds, yet he had been defeated instantly. At once, more people began paying attention to Li Hao.
When they learned that Li Hao was an attendant recently invited by the Azure Sea Divine Dynasty, many factions sighed inwardly. That cunning old fox, the Azure Sea Great Emperor, had moved as quickly as ever.
After his match ended, Li Hao left the arena stage and continued pondering his Dao domain.
What he lacked now was cultivation methods. Quite a few factions had extended olive branches, and Li Hao was considering whether to accept some of them in turn.
Every gain came with a loss. Besides offering him conveniences, those olive branches would also require him to lend corresponding aid and prestige.
Li Hao could manage his ties to the Azure Sea Divine Dynasty alone, but too many such ties would become an excessive burden.
Debts of favor were the hardest debts
