The beginning of the game "The King of Heroes"

Chapter 577 When Ge Gu Meets Qin Hao, He Takes the Blame for Shi Hao

She took the intelligence gathered by her subordinates, which recorded signs of the people she was monitoring.

"Well, it's not surprising that Shi Yi chose the Heavenly Domain and my old rival chose the Earthly Domain."

"Huh, that god-like brat hasn't shown up yet? That's a bit of a disadvantage."

Being able to get to the battlefield early will give you a certain advantage, since there are only so many enemies. Every point I score is one less point you get. Once you've scored the maximum number of points, find a place to hide and wait for the time to run out.

Even with overwhelming combat power, there's nothing you can do if you can't find the person.

"However, given that guy's abilities, there's no need to worry about him," the Heavenly Fox Fairy analyzed. She had witnessed firsthand how skilled Shi Hao was at hunting in the Kunpeng Divine Nest.

Shi Hao is a child of the Great Wilderness. He went out hunting with the people of Shi Village before he was weaned, and developed the mindset of a top hunter from a young age.

This is definitely the most overlooked ability of the Desolate Emperor.

In the original story, he avoided many crises by using this way of thinking.

Similarly, he also used this instinct to hunt down many enemies. The famous Crimson King was once hunted down by Shi Hao and had half of his body cut off.

"Then I'll choose the Mysterious Realm!" The Heavenly Fox Fairy swayed her delicate body. The Void God Realm was a world of spirits, and even if one was a spiritual body, what was manifested was her own combat power.

Choosing a battlefield is also a skill.

After all, only one player can advance to the final stage in a large region.

If she were to run into those freaks from the lower realm, regardless of victory or defeat, she would inevitably end up in a very sorry state.

If you're even more unlucky and don't have enough points to make it into the final arena battle, that would be incredibly embarrassing.

Especially with her old adversary, the Patching Heaven Sect, present, she absolutely could not allow such a possibility to exist.

.........

In the Realm of the Void Gods, Ge Gu arrived at the Initial Ground.

"Hehehe, the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament, here I come!" True Dragon Ge Gu entered the gate of light with fervent anticipation, his dragon eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

Not far away, another force was also preparing to enter the trial grounds.

Everlasting mountain.

A powerful force that has lasted for millions of years, wielding immense influence in both the upper and lower realms.

He is one of the uncrowned kings of the three thousand provinces.

The ancient texts left behind by the people of the Upper Realm told them that the being who could tear through the void with a mere gesture was called the Supreme Being, an existence even more powerful than their Immortal Mountain's reliance—the Immortal Celestial Venerable.

Therefore, they had Qin Hao equip himself with immortal bones in advance, hoping to win this war and become "his" disciple, thus bringing that supreme being to the side of the Undying Mountain.

His old servant beside him tempted him, saying, "With your immortal bones, you are absolutely invincible."

"Any enemy is utterly helpless before you, who possess immortal bones!"

The old servant's opening line was full of deception: "You will surely become the number one in the world, just like the immortal celestial being of my clan!"

Having been given a full bowl of chicken soup, Qin Hao's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and he entered the light gate with fighting spirit.

Then, Qin Hao went straight to Ge Gu, who had also just entered the trial grounds.

"Feel honored, remember this day!" Qin Hao, a young boy in the midst of his adolescent angst, declared arrogantly, "You will become the first stepping stone to becoming the number one person in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Gu looked completely bewildered. He tilted his head and pointed at himself, saying, "A stepping stone? Me?!"

"Hiss, oh my, this face feels strangely familiar!" Ge Gu tilted his head, staring intently at Qin Hao's face, a very strange expression on his face.

"How come he looks so much like my cheap master?!"

Ge Gu asked, "What's your name?"

He spoke first: "Qin Hao!"

Ge Gu grinned, revealing his snow-white, sharp teeth: "I think I'll remember this day forever!"

"You should remember this, for it is the beginning of a legend!" Qin Hao said proudly.

"Is that so? Let me see what this so-called legend is capable of."

Although Ge Gu was born much later than Qin Hao, his cultivation was not much worse than Shi Hao's, and far surpassed Qin Hao's.

Fortunately, everyone was suppressed to the Cave Heaven Realm in the first round, fighting at the same level.

Even though the two are at the same level, the difference in combat power is not something Qin Hao can forcefully match with a single bone.

Only the owner of the bone can defeat a true dragon cub in the same realm.

Qin Hao frowned, his divine senses warning him that the person before him was no ordinary individual.

"It must be an illusion," Qin Hao murmured to himself.

"I can't possibly come in and run into some freak I've never heard of before."

"Let's fight!" Qin Hao cast aside his ominous premonition and ignited his fighting spirit. He would not desert his post.

He unleashed his divine power and charged towards Ge Gu.

"What a feast!"

"You absolutely must try it!" Ge Gu was overjoyed. Looking at Qin Hao's face, his expression gradually became ferocious, and his joy was overflowing.

The battle was about to break out, and unsurprisingly, the situation was one-sided.

Ge Gu easily knocked Qin Hao down and used his special technique on him, a single-handed circling kick.

"So your name is Shi Hao?!"

"You're the one who always tells me to boil animal milk!"

"You're the one who asked me to chop wood for you!"

"It's you..."

"I am Qin Hao, not Shi Hao!" Qin Hao roared.

At a young age, guided by the Qin clan, he believed that he was born to save Shi Hao and was a substitute.

Therefore, I am particularly sensitive to the name Shi Hao.

Ge Gu ignored Qin Hao's grievances; they were the same age, so there was no question of him beating a child.

He unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, venting all the bullying he had suffered at Shi Hao's hands over the years onto Qin Hao.

For the first time, Qin Hao experienced what it meant to be treated as a substitute.

"Break!" Qin Hao was clad in divine armor, which possessed boundless power, but it was not particularly tough against the True Dragon Claw.

Its spiritual essence was torn apart by the true dragon's claws and then swallowed whole by Ge Gu.

Crunchy.

Qin Hao was completely stunned. The divine armor, renowned for its boundless might within the clan, had shattered just like that?
The true dragon, who grew up alongside Shi Hao, gradually picked up some of Shi Hao's "bad habits".

"Has anyone ever told you that your face is unpleasant to look at?" Ge Gu said viciously.

He had heard Qin Tian tell the story of Shi Hao's family.

Although Shi Hao usually puts on a master's airs to exploit him, ordering him to light the fire and act as bait.

But they are still good friends and playmates.

As the only peerless genius who could suppress a true dragon in terms of martial prowess, Ge Gu still admired Shi Hao quite a bit.

This is also because Qin Tianli is rooted in the past.

Otherwise, logically speaking, Shi Hao, who has not yet undergone two baptisms of the laws, is lacking in combat power and should be inferior to Ge Gu, who had already undergone the complete baptism of the Nine Heavens Laws during his gestation.

Unfortunately, Qin Tian's place was the past. Although everything was still uncertain, an eternal thread was already crystal clear.

That is...

Shi Hao is none other than the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!
Can the Desolate Emperor be defeated? Obviously not!

Therefore, no matter what kind of opponent Shi Hao encounters at this moment, he will not be defeated.

Even if he were to face the kings of other realms directly, various coincidences would help him resolve the situation, such as a man stepping on a cauldron suddenly descending from the future, or a drop of blood from a quasi-immortal emperor jumping out from who-knows-where.

These are all possible!

Ge Gu didn't have much affection for his younger brother, who had taken too much from Shi Hao.

Of course, Qin Hao is indeed innocent as a child. He did not have the right to choose whether he was born or not. Even if there was a mistake, it was the mistake of Shi Ziling and his wife.

However, as beneficiaries of the existing system, having accepted the favoritism, they must also bear the hostility.

"If I can't beat Shi Hao, I can't beat you, my substitute!" He wanted to use Qin Hao as a punching bag to vent his anger.

He didn't complain about Shi Hao, but only sought justice for himself. His parents didn't treat him as a substitute for Shi Hao, but Ge Gu did.

He raised his hand and unleashed a True Dragon Fist, shouting at the same time, "You surnamed Shi, today is your doomsday!"

"My surname is Qin!" Qin Hao roared through gritted teeth, "My name is Qin Hao!"

Two boys who looked to be eleven or twelve years old started fighting, and the shockwaves from their battle shook the heavens and the earth.

This is a duel between the strongest experts from the Ten Heavenly Caves.

This drew the attention of countless people, who realized that this was Yu Yu's top contender, a young supreme being attracted by the world's number one.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Attack them all!"

"Get out of the way!" The ten grotto-heavens behind Ge Gu appeared, each one incredibly vast and profound, with faint traces of true dragon energy flowing through them, as if they were dragon lairs in the real world.

Of Qin Hao's ten great grotto-heavens, only the tenth grotto-heaven can be compared to it.

A crimson dragon burst forth from one of the cave heavens, and with a simple sweep of its tail, it killed over a hundred cultivators present and knocked them down to the Void God Realm.

The difference between different grotto-heavens is greater than the difference between a grotto-heaven and an ordinary person.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

A series of crisp sounds rang out, and the dead cultivators transformed into clusters of golden light, rushing towards Ge Gu and landing on his head, turning into a dazzling golden sun.

This represents Ge Gu's rank.

"This guy is ridiculously strong!" Qin Hao said solemnly. Those who could participate in the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament were all masters among masters, the pride of tribes and ancient kingdoms.

Judging from his own experience, he absolutely could not have so easily killed more than a hundred experts from the grotto-heavens.

"Don't worry, I won't use that against you," Ge Gu said, reassuring Qin Hao based on his expression.

He's been holding back.

I was afraid that I might accidentally disconnect Qin Hao from the game.

"You're the main course!"

"I want to savor it slowly!"

Ge Gu's smile was grotesque; he looked exactly like a weird old man.

"Are all the monsters these days this strong?!" Qin Hao felt incredibly unlucky.

Just as he was starting out, he coincidentally ran into Ge Gu, who was the same age as him.

He debuted at his peak and faced off against a pure-blooded true dragon.

This is both a legend and bad luck.

Aiming to be invincible, he encountered an celestial enemy from the Immortal Ancient Realm.

Qin Hao suffered a defeat in his first battle, struggling to withstand the powerful onslaught of the dragon egg.

"What a pity!" Ge Gu fought with great gusto, but amidst this exhilaration, there was also a hint of regret.

"He looks so much like Shi Hao, but how come he doesn't look like that old ghost at all!" This is Ge Gu's biggest regret.

If Qin Hao were like Shi Hao and looked similar to Qin Tian, ​​then he could vent his anger twice at once.

Especially that old ghost, he's wanted to beat him up for a very, very long time.

Unfortunately, Qin Tian genuinely cared for him. Although the training looked simple, consisting of just ordinary running and jumping, the results were truly remarkable, maximizing his potential.

It was even more effective than his father's True Dragon Trial.

As a true dragon, he has never lacked potential. As long as he refines his true dragon bloodline to its peak, he can conquer the Immortal King.

He simply lacks the key to unlocking his potential.

Qin Tian's specialized training happened to be an important means of helping Ge Gu forge the key.

Every time you break through your limits, you can unlock a significant amount of potential.

The only downside is that it's a bit dangerous.

If it weren't for Qin Tian wielding the Reincarnation and Phoenix Treasure Techniques...

He had already gone to see his two brothers.

This makes it difficult for him to seek revenge.

In his heart, he still felt mostly respect for Qin Tian. At most, he was a little annoyed and frustrated, but it didn't affect anything.

"But oh well, at least I got to beat up 'Shi Hao' once, which was enough to vent my anger." Ge Gu suppressed his regret and continued to enjoy himself.

　I had some things to do at noon, so I updated earlier than planned.

　　Requesting monthly votes, recommendations, and favorites.
