Time flew, and within a blink of an eye, ten months had passed.
It was autumn, but the grassland around Yao Mountain City was still green. Nourished by the star power and earth meridian power gathered from the Heaven and Earth great formation, the plants around Yao Mountain City were thriving. Even in the late autumn, the plants around Yao Mountain City were still thriving.
In the air, Man Man's entire body was wrapped in a fiery light, while he wielded an ordinary metal hammer and smashed down towards Ji Hao's head.
Ji Hao stood in the air for miles above the ground, facing Man Man's hill-sized, eight-edged hammer with his bare hands. His palms, fingers, fists, and claws were constantly changing, slapping, blocking, or punching. His bare hands and the hammer bumped against each other, letting out resonant booms from time to time, along with dazzling fire sparkles.
After another ten months of severe cultivation, under the effect of Everything Grows, Ji Hao melted tens of mountains with the round cauldron. By now, his physical strength had already reached the peak-level of a two-star Divine Magus. What surprised him even more was that his cultivation method with nine turns had broken into the second level as well, which improved his physical strength by nearly four times.
Although he was bare-handed, his fists were even harder than Man Man's hammer, which was forged from the essence metal of five metals. His bare hands landed on the hammer, leaving countless mottled marks on the smooth surface of the hammer. If Ji Hao didn't restrain his power on purpose, this hammer would have been smashed into pieces long ago.
"I'm coming!" A resonant growl came from a distance away. Yu Mu carried a heavy hill and flew over swiftly. When he was still tens of miles away from Ji Hao, he threw the hill with all of his strength. The hundreds of meters tall hill flew straight towards Ji Hao along with a swishing noise.
Ji Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the small mountain smashing towards his head. He raised his head and violently bumped against the small mountain.
A golden fiery light flashed across Ji Hao's head. Following a thunderous bang, the hill was smashed into pieces by Ji Hao. Next, a great wave of essence sun fire swooshed across the area with a radius of miles. Tens of thousands of pieces of rock were burned into a puff of smoke by the essence sun fire.
"Take this!" Man Man raised the hammer with both of her hands and smashed it down towards Ji Hao's head with all of her strength.
Ji Hao gave a long and resonant growl, then flicked both of his hands, which were as sharp as spears. His arms penetrated the hammer, then separated his arms. Along with an unpleasant metal-tearing noise, the hammer was torn into two by Ji Hao's physical strength.
"Ah! Pay up, pay up! " Man Man carried the two pieces of the hammer, which were torn into two pieces, and yelled out in anger, "Which shop did you buy this hammer from? The weapon shop of the Fire Dragon Clan in the Southern Wasteland Market? Pay up, let them pay up. How dare they charge me eighty thousand jade coins for a hammer that Ji Hao could tear apart with his bare hands? "
Man Man threw the broken hammer on the ground, then angrily yelled at Zhu Rong Long, who had been watching the fight from a distance away, "How dare they say that they only took the cost of the materials for my sake? Zhu Rong Long, send someone to get those eighty thousand jade coins back, and throw this crappy hammer back to them. "
Zhu Rong Long, Candle Dragon Yan and the other twelve Divine Magi glanced at each other, excitedly responded, then trod on clouds and rushed towards Ji Hao.
They didn't use any of their divine powers either. Instead, they wielded their weapons and attacked Ji Hao with pure physical strength.
In the recent two months, Ji Hao and the other twelve Divine Magi were tired of endless cultivation. Therefore, they began to attack each other to gain more fighting experience. Ji Hao's performance was amazing, which made Zhu Rong Long and the other twelve Divine Magi excited. From time to time, they would fight against Ji Hao.
Eight long spears and four machetes hacked down towards Ji Hao from all directions. Facing the powerful weapons used by Zhu Rong Long and the other twelve Divine Magi, Ji Hao still didn't use any weapon. Instead, he conveniently released a cyan and golden stream of Yu Yu's divine light to shield his body.
The thin Yu Yu's divine light had a great defensive power. Shielded by the divine light, Ji Hao wielded his fists and punched against the weapons launched by Zhu Rong Long and the other twelve Divine Magi.
The weapons used by Zhu Rong Long and the other twelve Divine Magi were crafted by master craftsmen from their own clans. Those weapons were at least as powerful as top-grade Divine-Magus-level magic treasures. Although they didn't activate the spell symbols contained in those weapons, and didn't release the greatest power of those weapons, those weapons were sharp enough to penetrate metal.
The long spear and the machete hacked on Ji Hao's fists and generated a series of thunderous clangs. The thin layer of Yu Yu's divine light on Ji Hao's fists vibrated. His heavy fists were like shooting stars, forcibly sending the weapons held in Zhu Rong Long's hands up into the air. The tremendous power forced Zhu Rong Long and Zhu Rong Long to draw back.
Suddenly, Ji Hao's body flashed across the air and transformed into a golden beam of light, flashing across the air.
In that very moment, Ji Hao's pair of hands moved as fast as lightning bolts and launched the move of sky-opening and earth-splitting in a row. His fists transformed into extremely thin beams of golden light in the air. The dense golden light beams wove into a giant golden web, enveloping the twelve Divine Magi entirely.
Within a single moment, Zhu Rong Long, Candle Dragon Yan and the other twelve Divine Magi suffered at least ten-thousand punches from Ji Hao. They only felt that their eyesight blurred for a moment before they couldn't see Ji Hao's body anymore. Their entire bodies were aching, and heavy power streams pierced into their bodies, giving them an unbearable pain from their bones and making their internal organs scream.
Muffled thuds resounded through the clouds. After a second, the twelve Divine Magi stepped back for over ten miles with blood flowing out from their mouth corners. Their faces were all swollen and bruised, looking quite embarrassing.
"Earl Yao, your physical strength is already strong enough to fight us face to face!" Zhu Rong Long yelled out, "But you're only a Magus King! It hasn't even been a year since you became a Magus King! "
"I haven't activated my spirit star power yet!" Ji Hao's pupils shone with a faint golden light. Even the air surrounding him began vibrating intensely because of the great heat. He smilingly looked at Zhu Rong Long and said, "What a shame, unless we fight a life-and-death battle, I can never find out exactly how powerful I am now!"
Zhu Rong Long and the other Divine Magi all shut their mouths, seeming quite dispirited. Ji Hao's monster-like cultivation speed was way too shocking.
Man Man excitedly ran up to Ji Hao, intimately held Ji Hao's hand, and didn't say a word, only rubbing her face against Ji Hao's hand.
"Monster!" From a distance away, Taisi, who was wearing a white robe and had a pale face, tremblingly looked at Ji Hao. Abruptly, he laughed out crazily and said, "Hehe, Shaosi has found herself a good man … Fighting a Divine Magus with the power of a Magus King? Hehe, fortunately, I'm not good at close combat, otherwise … "
Quivering intensely, Taisi's body flashed across the air and suddenly transformed into a thin layer of transparent shadow, flashed across the air for a few times and disappeared without leaving a trace.
Further away, Feng Xing was fiddling with an arrow that was wrapped in faint lightning bolts, scratching his own hair in annoyance and murmured, "My arrow should be able to break that guy's thick skin, right? Should be able to break it? If I don't use that kind of power … it should be possible, right? "
Pondering for a while, Feng Xing abruptly laughed out and said, "Who cares? The more powerful Ji Hao is, the better! Those non-humankind monsters, wait for me to turn them all into sieves! "
From a distance away, a dark cloud rolled over. On the cloud, a guard of Emperor Shun in a black robe stood straight with his head held high, holding a tablet in his hand.
"Earl Yao! Emperor Shun has given his order. Take all the people from your Yao Mountain territory who are going to participate in the life-and-death game and head to Pu Ban City as soon as possible to prepare for the game! "
