Chapter 63 Humanoid Beast
Xu Hao has been very unhappy lately. He is clearly also at the ninth level of enlightenment, but he was forced to be at the first level of enlightenment by Jialan. Now, because Jialan has truly entered the tenth level of enlightenment, he is being ordered by him to hunt spirit beasts in this place!

After piercing the neck of the third-tier spirit beast, the Azure Spirit Deer, with a spear thrust, Xu Hao's eyes hardened. He channeled his spiritual energy into the spear, shattering the still-struggling Azure Spirit Deer's body into pieces.

“Big brother is still furious.” Liu Bo, a seventh-level Enlightenment cultivator, looked at the blood and flesh scattered everywhere and shook his head indifferently. “What’s the fun in taking it out on these beasts? Be careful not to destroy your spirit core too.”

After finding a green spirit core in the blood foam, Liu Bo handed it to Xu Hao while advising him, "I heard that Lin Zhao, whom Jialan and Ji Xiao have been looking for, has come out."

Xu Hao, of course, also knew about this news, and sneered, "Ignorant fools, they even want to ally with other trash to resist us!"

Liu Bo chuckled, his yellow teeth looking even more disgusting in the sunlight: "Big brother, this is a golden opportunity for us! If you capture Lin Zhao before Jialan, your reputation in our team will be..."

Xu Hao's gaze shifted slightly, the sinister look in his eyes lessening a bit. He patted Xu Hao's shoulder and said, "You're the one with the best ideas."

Seeing that the other party had accepted his suggestion, Liu Bo grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and rubbed his hands together. "Of course, brother, since you captured that scoundrel, can you let me have a go at it too? It's said that Lin Zhao is called the Fairy Wangshu, and she's even more beautiful in person than in the portrait in the Heavenly Mirror!"

Liu Bo and Xu Hao grew up together like brothers, so Liu Bo knew that Xu Hao was also a seasoned womanizer who had ruined countless women. If a top-quality woman like Lin Zhao ended up in Xu Hao's hands, he would naturally enjoy her first.

Of course, he wasn't greedy. If Xu Hao ate meat, it was good enough for him to get some soup!
Li Jiang, an eighth-level Enlightenment cultivator standing nearby, frowned as he listened, but ultimately, being part of the same team, he only spoke up: "As the number of people decreases, the academy teachers might keep an eye on things. Lin Zhao is not like those Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection female disciples you secretly dealt with in the formation before, hiding them from the South China Sea. Besides, Lin Zhao is already a formal disciple. The senior in the Heavenly Mirror mentioned that during the competition, the South China Sea doesn't care about non-enrolled disciples, but they will definitely pay attention to formal disciples."

"So what?" Xu Hao waved his hand dismissively. "My aunt is the concubine of a Buddhist elder, and Lin Zhao has already offended the Myriad Swords Sect and the Yaochi Holy Land. Even if things go wrong, we still have the Ji family, the Zhao family, and the Holy Light Empire to back us up. Even if we kill her, we can still find a way to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiang still tried to explain, but his younger brother, who was another seventh-level enlightened being, was stopped by Li Hai, who pressed down on his shoulder and shook his head.

Xu Hao's status among the three newcomer kings is second only to the three newcomer kings. He usually acts arrogantly and has a fondness for women. Everyone among the newcomers knows this in private, but no one dares to tell Tian Tong Jing to let the South China Sea know, otherwise it will bring endless retaliation to their own forces.

The main reason why only one-third of the newcomers joined them under duress and enticement lies with Xu Hao and the already deceased Chen Weiwei. Otherwise, the team of the three rookie kings would definitely be much larger than this number of new students.

Of course, the arrogance of these two was also tacitly approved by the other three. If it weren't for Lin Zhao's sudden rise to prominence, they would not have wanted too many new students to join. They preferred to see these new students as mobile points and disposable prey.

Before Xu Hao could say anything more, his ear twitched slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bluish light.

"careful!"

The sword light was faster than he could speak, piercing through Liu Bo's shoulder. Liu Bo screamed and hurriedly stuffed a Spirit Recovery Pill into his mouth, but the injury on his shoulder did not improve with the pill; instead, blood gushed out as the spiritual energy circulated.

The pain made him turn pale, and he quickly bandaged himself, no longer daring to use his spiritual energy.

Xu Hao summoned a long spear and coldly stared at the direction from which the attack had come. "This is the team of the rising star Zhao Jixing and Jialan on a mission. What are your intentions?"

"Heh, is that all Jialan's dogs can say?"

A clear, girlish voice appeared behind him. Xu Hao quickly turned around. In that instant, the cultivators around him whose cultivation levels were below the seventh level of the Enlightenment Realm inexplicably collapsed to the ground, completely losing their ability to fight.

"You used poison?" Xu Hao asked, his face ashen, looking at the cultivator lying on the ground.

"Just some sleeping pills," Lin Zhao said.

This sleeping potion wasn't a pill; she concocted it herself using elixirs and her grandmother's prescriptions. It was Lin Zhao's first attempt at alchemy. Therefore, its effect was only so-so; the potion, infused with her spiritual power, could only paralyze cultivators below the seventh level of the Enlightenment Realm for one hour.

Xu Hao didn't believe it at all, but at this moment he couldn't afford to check on the people around him. He could only quickly give the Li brothers a look, but seeing that the injured Liu Bo was completely incapacitated, he couldn't help but ask sternly, "Then what about his arm?"

Lin Zhao smiled, turned to look at the man who had spoken disgustingly earlier, and her eyes curved slightly: "Explode."

Liu Bo screamed as he clutched his shoulder, his arm exploding with spiritual energy inch by inch, instantly turning his entire arm into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, and with the other person's face turning as black as the bottom of a pot, Lin Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

This is a technique Lin Zhao has developed after days of arduous training, combining the Explosive Fist with the Thousand Spirit Slash.

However, this method is somewhat useless because it is too obvious. As long as the cultivation level is not weaker than one's own, and the sword light is blocked, this attack is useless. It is not as shocking as the explosive fist, which is unpredictable and can only be generated by spiritual energy.

However, it is indeed very effective for surprise attacks.

"I never imagined that the legendary Fairy Wangshu would be such a petty thief!" Xu Hao clenched his fist, summoned his spear, and swung it at Lin Zhao's face.

Lin Zhao shook his head, chuckling helplessly at Xu Hao's belittling remarks. The Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword flew horizontally away.

Along with the sounds of guns and swords clashing, came the clear, elegant voice of a young girl.

"Fairy Wangshu? I'll look at your grandma!"

The Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword was knocked back into Lin Zhao's hand by the spear, which then pierced through the sword and charged straight at Lin Zhao.

In the initial clash of spiritual energy, Xu Hao seemed to have the upper hand.

Seeing this, Xu Hao sneered, "If you kneel down now and serve me and my brothers well, what else can I do..."

What happened next horrified him.

Lin Zhao raised her soft, delicate hand and caught the tip of the spear.

Yes, it was the same spear that even a bone sword that had been upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual weapon couldn't withstand when held in one's hand.

“How is this possible…” Xu Hao took a deep breath.

How could someone at the mid-stage of enlightenment have such an abnormally powerful physical body? This is practically a humanoid beast!

"This shot is back for you."

Lin Zhao gripped the spear tip, his body surrounded by cyan flames that enveloped the spear. In the next moment, Lin Zhao flicked his fingers, turning the spear around and sending its tip hurtling straight at Xu Hao.
