Chapter 636: Chapter 636 Recognizing the Wolf as Father

Shi Hao gave a faint smile and said, “If no one else dares to challenge me, then step aside and don’t stand around here!”

Hearing his arrogant tone, everyone couldn’t help but want to smother him, yet the disparity in strength was too great.

Such a miscalculation.

Everyone thought to themselves that they had assumed Shi Hao, just having stepped into the Founding King Court, would be easily suppressed with Jia Li and Yang Jikong making a move. They never expected Shi Hao to be much stronger than imagined.

No wonder even Shi Ze had been defeated; it wasn’t that Shi Ze was overrated, but Shi Hao was truly too strong.

However, Ling Tian Academy harbored hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Did you think just because you beat Yang Jikong and others you could strut around the academy?

Naive!

Everyone dispersed, and Shi Hao also leaped down from the chair, feeling a bit disappointed.

He had thought there would be more troublemakers in Ling Tian Academy, but it turned out only three of them made a move while the rest were intimidated.

How boring.

Shi Hao took the chair back to his quarters, completely unconcerned with the liver-colored faces of Yang Jikong and the other two.

For the three of them, this was an immense humiliation.

“Shi Hao!” All three of them were gritting their teeth in fury.

Shi Hao didn’t waste any time and immediately filed a request to enter the Elemental Cave.

However, in Ling Tian Academy, there was no compulsory requirement for students to descend into the caves, nor was there a need to apply before doing so. It was simply a matter of reporting–one could die inside if unseen for too long.

This also showed that the students of Heavenly Palace Academy were more like cannon fodder used to fill the bottomless pit of the Elemental Cave.

Yet, Ling Tian Academy’s students were much more valuable, and there was no compulsory requirement to enter the Elemental Cave. As long as one felt uncertain, one could always stay and cultivate within the academy.

Of course, you wouldn’t get additional cultivation resources then.

Before Shi Hao could set out, Xiao Hei, Yue Feifei, and Han Dong came to see him.

“Where’s that big yellow dog?” Shi Hao asked, that cheap dog should have been with Xiao Hei and the others.

“Don’t even mention it. When we passed by a mountain range, there was a silver wolf at the Ascending to Saint Position. That cheap dog, upon discovering it, insisted on recognizing the wolf as its godfather and has now stayed there,” Han Dong explained.

Seriously, that works?

Shi Hao couldn’t help but be speechless, yet this was very much in line with the big yellow dog’s style.

“It also said–” Han Dong hesitated.

“What did it say?” Shi Hao smiled, “Don’t worry, I know the cheap dog’s character; there’s definitely no good word.”

Encouraged by Shi Hao, Han Dong continued, “It said, the next time it sees you, it wants you to kneel and lick its paws, calling it ‘Dog Grandpa’.”

Well then!

Shi Hao wiped his fist; that cheap dog definitely needed a lesson.

Fine, next time we meet, I’ll make sure to oblige it.

“And you?” Shi Hao looked at Yue Feifei.

Yue Feifei had remained silent all this while, just quietly watching Shi Hao with a somewhat dreamy look in her eyes.

When Shi Hao suddenly turned to her, she got startled as if caught red-handed like a thief, causing her heart to flutter.

“I–I’m fine.” She hastily nodded, lowering her head further.

Haven’t seen him for several years, this guy seemed more handsome than before, possessing a more mature charm that made her heart race uncontrollably.

Shi Hao nodded and withdrew his gaze, “I’m going down to the Elemental Cave tomorrow, does anyone want to join me?”

“I’m going to attempt to break through to the Eight King Realm,” Xiao Hei immediately said.

“I’m also on the verge of a breakthrough,” Yue Feifei spoke with her head still lowered.

She really wanted to accompany Shi Hao, but she was afraid that being alone with him might lead to some uncontrollable actions on her part and that she would be despised and loathed by Shi Hao, so she could only miss out on this great opportunity.

“I’m not up for it, just at the Other Shore Realm, I would hold you back,” Han Dong admitted with a good sense of self-awareness.

Alright then.

After sending off Xiao Hei and the other two, Shi Hao took some time to rest. The next day, he set out alone, making his way to the Elemental Cave.

This Elemental Cave was not much different from the previous one he had encountered, but the degree of elementalization here was higher, with not a trace of air inside. Thus, only those above the Great Sacrificial Heaven could stay for a very long time. Others must carry Breath-Holding Pills to enter.

However, the pills have a resistance effect. After taking a few consecutively, their efficacy would diminish, so people below the Great Sacrificial Heaven could generally only stay inside for two or three days.

Shi Hao, however, was not affected by this because he had the Immortal Abode.

Although this treasure was not yet truly independent, isolating the internal atmosphere from the external was a trivial matter, and it could continuously generate air. Even if buried deep underground, there was no need to worry about running out of air one day.

Here, the battles were even more intense.

Elemental Creatures were amassing their forces and attacking this direction relentlessly, not caring about the number of their own forces they buried. The daily combats were incredibly fierce, costing the human side greatly, to the extent that teachers from the Heavenly Palace Academy were requested to reinforce the fight.

Shi Hao didn’t need to go deep. As soon as he entered the cave, he could engage freely in battle.

However, there were too many outsiders around, and he didn’t wish to reveal his Black Hole Physiognomy in front of everyone. Thus, the deeper he journeyed into the cave, the more he fought, until he was out of sight, then he unleashed his Black Hole Physiognomy and began to devour furiously.

This battle lasted seven days.

Although it was far shorter than the time he had spent in the cave while at the Heavenly Palace Academy, the gains he made were almost comparable to an entire month’s from before.

There was no helping it–the Elemental Creatures were just too numerous here.

Shi Hao didn’t stay in one place to fight. He moved from one spot to another–here a while, there a battle. This ensured that the stronger Elemental Creatures would not notice him, or else he would have been forced to seek refuge in his Immortal Abode.

On the eighth day, he suddenly felt a terrifying presence sweeping through, which made all the hair on his body stand on end.

Sky Ladder!

He realized immediately, and the source of this aura came from the depths of the cave.

Hisss, an Almighty from the Sky Ladder is taking action among the Elemental Creatures!

Wasn’t there an unspoken agreement that Almighties of the Sky Ladder would not get involved?

Now, was this accord going to be broken?

Shi Hao was prepared. If that aura noticed him, he would take no chances and would immediately retreat into the Immortal Abode.

At that moment, another overwhelmingly powerful momentum surged into the sky.

Saber Intent.

Shi Hao immediately felt it was likely the Saber Intent of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword–unbelievably sharp and chilling to the bone.

Someone from the human side had also mobilized an Almighty from the Sky Ladder.

Boom!

What followed was a shaking of heaven and earth.

Shi Hao knew that the two Sky Ladder Almighties had clashed.
