Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 741: Racing

Shi Hao decided to go to Changyuan City to participate in the Genius Conference and announce his return to the world.

He and Weng Nanqing immediately set off on their journey, and four days later, they arrived at the destination.

This Genius Conference was organized by Shi Tangyin, whose cultivation was merely at the level of the Supplementing Divine Temple.

Why could his conference attract so many people?

Because his grandfather was an Almighty of the Heaven Building Ladder!

This time, it was Shi Tangyin who had persuaded his own grandfather to handle the Genius Conference, making it a unique one.

How unique?

There was no combat, no discussion of doctrines.

Huh, could this still be called a Genius Conference?

What was the competition about then?

Racing cars!

The Heaven Building Ladder himself had arranged the track, marking out a large circular area and then spiraling it towards the center. The first to reach the center would be the winner of this Genius Conference.

In the race, participants were not allowed to attack their competitors; violators would instantly lose, and along the way, there were various traps set by the Almighty of the Heaven Building Ladder. It required not only intelligence and bravery but also a great deal of luck.

Shi Tangyin, whose parents had died early, was the old man’s only descendant; thus, he doted on him and had gone to great lengths to set up such a track.

It was precisely because of this that competitors from all regions were attracted to participate.

Quite interesting, isn’t it?

Shi Hao and Weng Nanqing first went to register.

Weng Nanqing was naturally using her real name, but Shi Hao had disguised himself, covering his face with cloth to prevent others from recognizing him.

—He would reveal his true identity only after winning the first place, shocking a large crowd.

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could participate; one had to possess at least the cultivation of the Founding King Court level.

The mainstream cultivation level of the younger generation on the continent nowadays was that of the Founding King Court and the Supplementing Divine Temple.

After registering successfully, both Shi Hao and Weng Nanqing received a chariot each.

Speaking of chariots, these didn’t have any motor power nor coverings, merely a bare chassis with four wheels, hardly different from a freight cart.

The competition allowed modifications to the chariot, but one could only add, not remove, meaning the base had to remain unchanged. Also, there were size restrictions on how drastically the style could be altered.

Such a chariot was very fragile, easily destroyed.

Yes, this was deliberately done to increase the difficulty and interest of the race. The organizers stipulated that by the time they reached the finish line, the chariot must still have at least two wheels, or they would lose eligibility for the race.

Sort of interesting.

Shi Hao and Weng Nanqing began rearranging their chariots.

Shi Hao had many precious materials in his hand, initially intended for repairing Teleportation Arrays, but because the Liu Family "helped," he had not used them. Some of these materials could be used to reinforce the chariot.

He had wanted to help modify Weng Nanqing’s as well, but she had declined his offer, insisting on doing it herself.

Alright, as long as you’re happy.

It didn’t matter anyway. Winning first place came with no reward.

At this time, Changyuan City was bustling with young geniuses, this peculiar race not only attracted them but also drew out some old folks. However, they obviously wouldn’t compete with the youngsters and were only there to watch.

Of course, there’s a chance they might get the itch to set up a game of their own if they felt so inclined.

Three days later, it was time for the race to begin.

All the competitors brought their own chariots to the track, with a huge crowd gathered on the outside. As there were almighty beings present, some even moved mountains to sit on and watch.

Since it was a circular route, standing in one spot was sufficient. With the ocular power of the strong, they could see everything in detail.

Even though the track near the starting route was wide, the sheer number of participants still resulted in a long queue.

No way around it, they just went by the order of registration, the earlier you registered, the further ahead you were positioned.

Fortunately, the track was quite long, so this bit of lagging behind wouldn’t have much impact at this point.

Shi Hao and Weng Nanqing were positioned in the middle, tightly blocked in all directions, at least at the start of the race, they had no way to overtake.

When Weng Nanqing took out her modified chariot from the Spatial Spirit Tool, Shi Hao couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

So fancy!

Was this even a chariot?

It was more like a float.

Indeed, that’s a woman for you! No wonder Weng Nanqing wouldn’t let him interfere, as him interfering would surely have been counterproductive.

Damn, could this even withstand a collision?

"Hey, isn’t that Weng Nanqing, ranked fourth on the Beauty Ranking?" someone recognized Weng Nanqing and immediately whispered.

The Martial Arts Realm valued men over women, thus when they saw Weng Nanqing, their first thought was of her as a beauty from the Beauty Ranking, and not as a contemporary genius with terrifying combat power.

"She’s married now, already off the Beauty Ranking." someone else responded.

"Didn’t her husband just die?"

"Hehe, couldn’t stand the loneliness, came out to seduce men, right?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Even though she’s no longer untouched, she was once on the Beauty Ranking, I wouldn’t mind taking her to make up the numbers."

The more these people talked, the more vulgar they got, since this was a competition venue where it was strictly forbidden for anyone to strike.

Shi Hao snorted, buzz, an intimidating might activated, smack smack smack, those who had spewed filthy words immediately had their Soul Seas burst and met untimely deaths.

Smack smack smack, they fell off their chariots one after another.

"What’s going on?"

"How did they die?"

"Who made a move?"

People nearby were greatly shocked, the deaths were too bizarre, sending chills down everyone’s spines.

Boom, a huge green palm reached over, grabbing the ownerless chariots and the dead people, and in the sky, a face also appeared, filled with majesty.

"Venerable Qingfeng!" everyone exclaimed in shock, showing absolute reverence.

This was the real organizer of the Genius Conference, the ancestor of Shi Tangyin and the Almighty Shi Yuande of the Heaven Building Ladder.

Shi Hao sensed that Shi Yuande gave him an extra glance but did not make a move.

Clearly, this Almighty knew the situation on the field well, aware that those few had been abusive with their words, and deserved their fate. Moreover, Shi Hao was indeed clever, without moving a hand or a foot, he killed those men with a mere thought.

One of them was even from the Supplementing Divine Temple!

But the warning from Shi Yuande was also very clear, prohibiting Shi Hao from making another move, otherwise, it would be truly disrespectful towards this Almighty of the Heaven Building Ladder.

Shi Hao smiled, he wouldn’t pretend not to hear when others insulted his wife.

Should anyone dare to say it again, he would still kill!

"The race is about to start." a robust voice announced, "I am Pei Xuehai, the judge and commentator for this competition."

Important figures could easily grasp the overall situation, but there were always some important figures who brought their descendants, and might not be able to see everything clearly, so having a commentator spared these important figures the distraction of having to describe the event to their juniors.

Very thoughtful!

"The rules of the competition are simple, striking other participants is not allowed, anyone doing so will immediately be disqualified from the competition."

"However, collisions between chariots are permitted!"
