Chapter 402: The Fortune of Five Auras (II)

Everyone understood the methods of improving the physical body and blood qi when it came to enhancing strength. Hope sprang eternal for these paths so long as one possessed sufficient treasure. But comprehending the aura was not contingent on treasure.

Gazing upon a dao comprehension weapon day in and day out was not sufficient to guarantee further understanding an aura. Hence, the powerhouses scrutinizing last night’s battle scene judged that Li Hao should’ve comprehended the aura a long time ago—possibly more than a year ago.

Therefore, everything written in his resume was bullshit.

Li Hao might’ve been more than an ordinary martial master when Yuan Shuo accepted him as a disciple. He might’ve been a martial master long ago or received the old demon’s true teachings three years ago, not the two or three months that was commonly quoted.

One aura per year for three years was feasible for a premier genius.

“Tidal Wave,” Half Mountain addressed the middle-aged woman off to the side. “What level do you think he’s at now?”

“Peak Solar, one who’s just reached that level,” Tidal Wave immediately discerned. “Of course, he’s a martial master with domineering mind intent and numerous auras, so he’s stronger than regular peak Solars. However, there’s a limit to his strength. Judging from the signs of battle, he killed those of my Red Moon last in a bitterly fought battle. He looks to have suffered significant injuries in that fight.

“If he can rival Novas, he wouldn’t have needed to bring so much effort to bear for those three!”

“Yue Pu fell to an ambush.” Half Mountain inclined his head. “Although Li Hao finished the deed very quickly, that doesn't mean he’s much stronger than Yue Pu. He does look to have just reached peak Solar.”

These powerhouses possessed the ability to determine the overall situation from just a few traces. Even so, this was a frightening conclusion.

Li Hao was just in his twenties, but he could already kill peak Solars. He was more powerful than some premier Heaven Favored in the central region, and he was just a martial master, not a supernatural! If he could cross over right this second, wouldn’t he instantly become a Nova?

That was extremely terrifying!

Of course, it was very difficult to ascend to the supernatural at Li Hao’s level. He might not do so even if he could. If he was a supernatural, he would be a Nova... Only the most perverse of powerhouses in the central region could match such an accomplishment. The three great organizations and Night Watchers had some Novas, but very few.

Of those they had, they were all active in the central region. None of them had come to Silver Moon. Someone had come from Yama—not the Parity King, but the Revolution King. The wind supernatural kept a lower profile in front of the two Novas, but wasn’t overly fearful of his counterparts.

“I met this Li Hao in the last expedition,” he declared coldly. “He masqueraded as a Sunderer then and I failed to see through his disguise. No wonder the three great organizations suffered such immense losses last time... It goes without saying that someone was striking from the shadows!”

They’d all thought that the Night Watchers had been lucky last time, but no one thought that now. It must’ve been Li Hao acting without their knowing.

As for where... Rift Canyon, of course. The ruins of Battle Heaven might open on the 28th. If he didn’t go back and left only a Nova level elder there, problems would easily arise.

Red Moon didn’t care about losing a Nova, they had almost thirty Solars left among their ranks. Yama and Celestial could not compare to this—they weren’t nearly as insane as Red Moon to concentrate the strength of nineteen provinces on one. The more that came, the more that died. They’d all seen how many powerhouses Red Moon had lost during this time. They’d lost nearly ten Solars in Silver Moon alone!

It was September 19, leaving only nine days until Battle Heaven opened again. He was showing Red Moon face in helping them for five days. Of course, Half Mountain also wanted to capture or kill Li Hao. The young man was turning into someone frightening!

“What about you, Revolution?” Tidal Wave nodded and looked at the Revolution King. “I’m sure that more than the Parity King has come from Yama. Are none of the other ten free? Aren’t you worried of being killed in return by Li Hao?”

A peak wind Solar with an origin weapon was not weak, but might still fall to Li Hao if one was not careful. Only Novas were guaranteed to take the young man down now. Yama looked to have sent only one Nova to Silver Moon on the surface—the Parity King. But there were eight other court masters in Yama, had none of the rest come?

The war in the central region had calmed down much more these days. Red Moon pulled four Moons to hunt down Li Hao and Yuan Shuo, Yama sent the Parity King, and Celestial had sent one of their elders. At the same time, Half Mountain was also a Nova.

The Revolution King frowned. “You don’t need to consider me, Elder Tidal Wave. I can wait. The masters of the sixteen hells under the Parity King will be here soon...”

Tidal Wave and Half Mountain said nothing more; they treated this response with gravity. It looked like Yama was paying attention to this matter as well.

The Parity King was a Nova, his subordinates were different from the Revolution King’s. They oversaw the sixteen hells and were almost all Solars. When all of them were assembled... they would be no less than Novas.

If combined with the peak Solar Revolution King and an origin weapon, not even Tidal Wave would be their match. Half Mountain likely also wielded an origin weapon. Only Tidal Wave lacked one.

While Tidal Wave was an elder, there weren’t enough origin weapons to go around for every elder to be assigned one.

People like Violet Moon and the Revolution King were in charge of holding down the fort, so they nominally possessed high statuses. Tidal Wave was just an elder, of which there were many in Red Moon.

At the same time, they’d heard that Celestial had lost an origin weapon in Battle Heaven in the last expedition. It might have belonged to Half Mountain, so he would not possess one at the moment.

“Li Hao comes from Silver City... Silver City is a small place...” Tidal Wave looked into the distance.

“You want to threaten Silver City to force Li Hao into showing himself?” someone new laughed. “Don’t even think about it and don’t do anything brash! You’ve killed his parents, his best friend, and run off his teacher. He’s all out there by his lonesome, and now you want to use his hometown? Don’t go mucking around and creating bigger trouble for yourself. No one will be able to save you!”

Tidal Wave looked coolly in a certain direction where a figure had appeared—Southern Fist.

“He Yong?” Some blinked. What... was he doing here?
