Look, he hadn’t stirred up any trouble, had he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were there people who couldn’t get along with him, then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care and walked confidently towards the Martial Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, because Lu Zhihang wanted him to come within three days, so he would obediently comply?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went on the fourth day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao was at ease, humming a tune along the way, accompanied by a large yellow dog. After its bloodline had been awakened, it now displayed extraordinary qualities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally yellow in color, it now bore a golden sheen, much like metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, its fur was indeed very hard, providing excellent defense, which made Shi Hao very curious about what breed the big yellow dog was and what bloodline it had awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a ferocious beast activated its bloodline, its growth rate was astonishing, and now the big yellow dog already possessed the strength comparable to a Primary Level martial master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big yellow dog appeared vigorous, now recalling its own glorious days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when it was at Starwind Academy, it was the canteen bully, what freshman wasn’t afraid of it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it seemed to have rediscovered that feeling from the past, walking with a swagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They descended from the Pill Yard’s mountain and then began to ascend the mountain of the Martial Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, isn’t that Shi Hao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s he doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me he’s here to challenge Senior Brother Lu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, if he were here to challenge, shouldn’t that have been yesterday, the day before, or the day before that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think this guy’s here to admit defeat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Certainly, he’s just a disciple from the Pill Yard after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the disciples of the Martial Courtyard saw Shi Hao coming and were all discussing spiritedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a while, Shi Hao scratched his head, clueless about where Lu Zhihang lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excuse me, do you know where Lu Zhihang is?” Shi Hao stopped someone to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple could not help but display a weird expression and said, “You’re looking for Senior Brother Lu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm,” Shi Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I’ll take you there.” The disciple was enthusiastic, but scoffed inwardly, curious to see how Shi Hao would humbly apologize after meeting Lu Zhihang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked ahead, followed by a large group of disciples from the Martial Courtyard, all keen to see how Shi Hao would bow and admit his faults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this matter, even Sun Yiming couldn’t help Shi Hao, as Shi Hao had brought it upon himself with his big talk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached Lu Zhihang’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a high-level practitioner of the Soul Nurturing stage, Lu Zhihang was already at the level of a core disciple of the White Cloud Sect. Outside, he could be considered a pillar of a country, a Martial Venerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he naturally owned an independent courtyard, and many disciples would seek his guidance at his door every day; his status was quite esteemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was daytime now, and in the courtyard, twelve disciples were seated, listening to Lu Zhihang explain the practice of martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they noticed Shi Hao entering the gate, with a whoosh, all the disciples’ eyes turned toward him, creating immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao smiled faintly, “Lu Zhihang, since you won’t come to apologize, I had no choice but to come here myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao was not here to back down, but to confront Lu Zhihang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy has some nerve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhihang looked at Shi Hao, a trace of contempt on his lips, “What could you possibly do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beat you up!” Shi Hao stated, his voice resounding powerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhihang couldn’t help but laugh, “Shi Hao, it’s not that I look down on you, but the question is, can you even get close to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he spoke, the twelve disciples all stood up, glaring furiously at Shi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, Lu Zhihang was less a senior brother and more a mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Shi Hao was disrespecting their “mentor,” they were naturally enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting words, Shi Hao strode forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Asking for it!” A disciple immediately leaped forward, swinging a punch at Shi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao punched back, and that disciple immediately flew like a cannonball, smashing into the wall, embedding himself in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This… was truly brazen, storming into the Martial Courtyard alone and even daring to strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him!” More disciples charged at him, all of them attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang! Shadows flew, and then the remaining eleven disciples either hung from trees, were plastered against walls, or lay sprawled in flower patches, each one deprived of their fighting ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barging into the Martial Courtyard and daring to fight, say what you will, this guy’s courage was extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Lu Zhihang couldn’t remain seated anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands and said, “I underestimated you; I didn’t think you had reached the Peak of Primary Level Martial Sect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just sixteen years old, and a disciple of the Pill Yard too, this was truly no small feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded in agreement, whether it was Shi Hao’s age or his identity as a disciple of the Pill Yard, it all seemed unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao did not speak and continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, you will ultimately realize what it means to—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lu Zhihang was still speaking proudly, Shi Hao’s punch sent him flying out, crashing heavily into the wall, spewing out blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just too ironic; Lu Zhihang had just been making proud declarations, but in a blink of an eye, Shi Hao had sent him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Lu Zhihang was a Martial Venerable of the Soul Nurturing stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this young man also be a Martial Venerable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sixteen-year-old Martial Venerable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, where had they heard this before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged, Lu Zhihang roared and charged toward Shi Hao. Boom, he activated the Metal Element, gathering a flash of gold on his fist, sharp enough to easily tear through the body of a Martial Venerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1296,"2026-06-09T05:58:40.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","1ffc1627892bb66817cd88ea4b659b4065f3eaebf1efff04dcf72869240ff3f3","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-118","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-116",1662,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fasura-emperor-venerable-cover.jpg"]
