Shi Hao looked relaxed. He was somewhat surprised to be named Number One Under Heaven again, but he could accept it.
What surprised him was that the Forbidden Zone Lord and his two companions had not appeared.
Confident as he was, Shi Hao had to admit that the three of them were no weaker than him. They might even be stronger.
After all, Shi Hao had experienced their strength at the Divine Flame Realm. It was monstrous.
Doubt stirred in Shi Hao's heart.
What was going on?
Truthfully, Shi Hao would have accepted it if the Forbidden Zone Lord had been chosen outright. He felt the man was qualified.
Shi Hao pushed aside his doubts and spoke.
"If anyone wants to be Number One Under Heaven, come on up."
"I won't give up the title, but I can let them experience the power of Number One Under Heaven."
Someone immediately stepped onto the battlefield to challenge Shi Hao.
But since the Lord of the Future had chosen Shi Hao, there would be no upset.
He swept through them. Again and again, he swept through them.
Shi Hao was now in the Heavenly God Realm, but during the challenge for Number One Under Heaven at the Divine Flame Realm, everyone fought at the Divine Flame Realm.
This was not a simple matter of suppressing their cultivation to that level.
Instead, a method resembling the reversal of time restored them completely to the state they had been in at the Divine Flame Realm.
It was far more effective than merely suppressing their cultivation. For all practical purposes, they had become Divine Flame Realm cultivators again for these duels.
Naturally, no one was a match for Shi Hao.
People like Meng Tianzheng and Wang Changsheng had no intention of stepping onto the battlefield.
