"Is it really such a trial?"
"The Supreme truly has confidence in that disciple. Although he’s strong, Haotian’s previous performance shouldn’t be incapable of withstanding even three moves, right?"
"That’s precisely the most terrifying part. For the Supreme to have such demands can only mean that Sword Heart hasn’t yet shown his true skills. Don’t forget, in the True Immortal Secret Realm, he suppressed the Ancient Demons with a single sword, definitely reaching the pinnacle of the Five-layer Sword Dao Realm!"
"Five-layer pinnacle? Impossible, he’s just in the True Immortal Realm!"
In the True Immortal Realm, cultivating the Original Dao to the Third Realm is already considered a genius, the Fourth is a top-tier monster, and the Fifth... is already at the level of a monster.
The crowd looked at the two in amazement. If Li Hao were to defeat Sword Heart, most would think it’s unlikely, after all, Sword Heart is the Supreme’s direct disciple. However, just enduring three moves might be highly probable.
Li Hao’s gaze swept toward Sword Heart, who was also looking over. Their eyes met, and Li Hao immediately noticed the coldness in the other’s eyes.
Earlier, the other seemed calm and indifferent, possibly due to their recent conversation, which angered him.
But Li Hao didn’t feel he’d said or done anything wrong, they were just each standing by their own masters.
"Supreme, I have a request."
Li Hao turned his head, looking at the Supreme.
Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, countless people were astonished, focusing their eyes on Li Hao.
"If you’re afraid, one move will do."
Sword Heart spoke coldly.
He greatly disliked the way Li Hao spoke to his master, seeing no humility or obedience in the young man’s face.
"One move? This Sword Heart is so arrogant!"
"It’s not arrogance, to truly defeat an enemy requires only one move. He only needs to unleash his strongest sword to surpass others."
"Indeed, no need to test, just that one strongest move, victory or defeat!"
The crowd murmured in low voices.
The Supreme looked down at Li Hao, calmly saying, "Speak."
"If I can withstand ten of his moves, can I not take him as my master and leave in peace?"
Li Hao asked intently.
Upon hearing his words, the entire place fell into a brief silence, followed by an astonishing uproar.
Countless people looked at Li Hao in shock, their mouths agape.
Previously, Sword Heart’s words were already bold enough, but unexpectedly, this young man’s performance now was even more arrogant!
No, it could even be considered madness!
Not to mention whether Li Hao could withstand ten moves against Sword Heart’s confident attitude, the mere idea of raising the stakes solely to avoid being a disciple under the Supreme was bafflingly crazy!
Young man, what lies before you is the status of an Immortal Emperor’s direct disciple that countless people dream of achieving. Even many Immortal Kings present were envious of this status, yet the other cast it aside like a worn shoe, desperately avoiding it!
Beside them, even Sword Heart and Ming Yue were rarely caught off guard, showing shock on their faces, followed by intense anger. Despite always treating others like grass and wood, easily keeping their posure, at the moment, they felt intense rage towards Li Hao.
On the mountaintop, the Great Dream Master and others were dumbfounded, not expecting Li Hao to be so stubborn.
In Heart Inquiry Floating City.
On the hillside, sitting under an old tree, Old Han was also stunned. Soon, he suddenly burst into laughter, a laughter filled with abandon and uninhibited joy, as if he hadn’t laughed so heartily in countless years.
"Good, good boy, I haven’t misjudged you. It’s worth it for me to seal your Dao Heart. If you can return safely this time, I must bestow upon you a great fortune!"
He laughed, his eyes tearing with mirth.
How many years had it been since he saw such an interesting scene, such an interesting person!
In the Yan Chu Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, countless elder figures were similarly astounded, left speechless.
Like everyone else, they were stunned by the young man’s words, yet soon found themselves clenching their fists, tears burning hot.
They lived like mice, hiding and surviving everywhere to amass strength for a future opportunity.
But this young man, with only a hundred-year soul life, so young, standing before the strongest in existence, dared to make such a request. What kind of courage was that?
In the young man’s form, they saw a drive they dared not allow to rise, saw something they had thought of countless times but never dared do. Some wept old tears unabashedly, others covered their mouths sobbing, now regretting not personally going to the Imperial City to stop the young man’s journey.
"Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor, after countless years, you have found another good disciple!"
"Master, are you watching? If this boy survives, we will follow him for life and death!"
"Haotian, from today on, remember this name. He shall be our new master!"
Throughout the Immortal City, many people felt invigorated yet extremely tense and fearful watching the scene unfold, unsure what decision the Great Emperor would make regarding this ’reckless’ young man: obliteration with a word or actual acquiescence.
"You’re simply too arrogant!"
Before the master could respond, Sword Heart stepped forward, looking at Li Hao with intense evil qi.
Previously, he had remained calm and detached, seeing and feeling only the sword.
But Li Hao’s repeated actions made him furious.
He didn’t even want the master to respond, wishing to take action himself to cut down the other.
Li Hao ignored Sword Heart, instead gazing intently at the Heavenly Palace Supreme, mentally prepared for two outes: obliteration or fulfillment.
This battle drew the eyes of the Southern Domain, and this was also why Li Hao dared to make such a request.
