Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 744: Joint First Place

With Shi Hao’s strength, as long as he didn’t step on any traps, he could catch up to anyone.

Therefore, even if it was some acceleration trap or invincible trap, he didn’t need them; as long as it was a trap, he would avoid it.

As long as he guaranteed this, he could snatch first place!

Only a third of the race had been run; he completely had the ability to catch up and take first place.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He steamrolled his way through, with absolutely no one able to stop him. If someone tried to block him, then every chariot in front of him would only end up smashed to pieces.

At the very front, Weng Nanqing watched as she was about to be caught up to again.

There was nothing she could do; although her strength was not weak, her chariot had not been properly modified and couldn’t withstand too much power, so now it was shaking and appeared to be on the verge of falling apart at any moment.

She had extra strength but didn’t dare to use it all.

Just then, she stepped on another trap.

"The invincible trap!"

"The incredibly lucky girl has stepped on another invincible trap!"

"She can accelerate now, further extending her lead!"

Invincible as she was, she completely disregarded all traps and didn’t have to worry about the chariot falling apart, so naturally, she could push the speed to the extreme.

Shi Hao was speechless; his luck had definitely been drained by Weng Nanqing.

Soon, he had thrust into the second echelon, then back to the first echelon.

With his domain leading the way, he avoided all traps.

"Huh, the masked dark horse seems to have divine assistance as he miraculously avoids all traps."

"This is truly a miracle!"

"Do you know how many traps he has stepped on before?"

"If it were any other player, stepping on so many unlucky traps, it would be remarkable to even stay in the first echelon, let alone keep the chariot intact."

"This player is simply the epitome of inspiration."

"Could he really have a chance at first place?"

Listening to Pei Xuehai’s shouts, the audience was left speechless.

Shi Hao was truly unlucky; he had stepped on so many traps along the way, yet he was still able to maintain a position in the first echelon. It had to be said that his strength was indeed powerful.

But could he really challenge for first place?

The one currently in first place was someone with super luck, who either accelerated or leaped, and even had invincibility—how could he compete with such a lucky competitor? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

By this time, the race was already more than half over.

All the competitors began to use their ultimate moves, as there would be no opportunity to sprint if they didn’t do so now.

Boom!

Chariots raced wildly, trembling massively under the powerful strain as if they couldn’t withstand it and were about to explode.

Indeed, the chariots’ frames were too ordinary after all, and even with reinforcement, there was a limit; they couldn’t withstand such an outbreak.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several chariots collapsed, with the contestants either rolling off or standing upright, depending on each person’s cultivation strength.

Shi Hao saw that some chariots had formations set up on them; once activated, Spirit Stones burned rapidly, turning into astonishing power that propelled the chariots at breakneck speeds.

He had thought of such tactics himself, but there was only so much space on a chariot. Reinforcing and setting up formations were in conflict; to want to both reinforce and set up formations meant that neither could be fully attended to—it was difficult to strike a balance.

Shi Hao used all the space to reinforce because his strength was strong enough, and that was sufficient for him.

Now, everyone was beginning their sprints, and the rate of chariots exploding increased. In barely more than a dozen breaths of time, at least a quarter of the chariots had blown up, and the number of contestants had sharply decreased.

At this point, the strength of the competitors became evident.

Some, even after their chariots exploded, whether missing one wheel or two, managed just fine. Using their own strength to firmly control the body of the chariot so that it wouldn’t fall apart while still maintaining high speed, on top of avoiding traps and preventing collisions, there were really too few who could handle it all.

Therefore, the number of contestants continued to decrease.

Some couldn’t withstand the pressure anymore, some got into crashes, others tripped traps; the number of chariots on the racetrack kept dwindling, and those that remained and managed to stay in the lead were all super geniuses.

Like Xia Mengyin, like Xiao Jiu, Xiong Bin, Shi Tangyin, who were among the best in the Supplementing Divine Temple, just one step away from achieving the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

These super geniuses made up the first echelon, and leading them was Weng Nanqing, but as her chariot was modified too impractically, once it lost the invincible effect enhancement, the distance between her and the others gradually narrowed.

The finish line was now close.

Charge!

"The race is about to end!"

"Weng Nanqing is still in the lead right now."

"This girl is really lucky, since taking the lead the first time, she has never given up the first place."

"But here, there are no more traps."

"In the final sprint, who can come out on top with superior skills?"

"Eh, my gosh, what did this old man see?"

"The masked dark horse has caught up again, so fierce—he knocked Shi Tangyin flying! It’s over, Shi Tangyin’s chariot is in pieces, he’s out of the race."

Pei Xuehai shouted loudly, as if this wasn’t a chariot race, but a fiercely competitive martial arts contest.

Shi Hao snorted and continued to speed up.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Even without the "Invincible" trap’s blessing, he still displayed invincible might, and there was basically no opponent with a single blow.

He was too strong, under the cover of his power, his chariot was indestructible.

Xiong Bin, once the top student of the Dao King Palace, but what of it, after one strike, man and chariot were overturned.

Xiao Jiu, formerly the Number One Sword of the Sword King Palace, was also turned over by Shi Hao’s chariot.

It was only when he hit Xia Mengyin that Shi Hao showed a bit of mercy, not letting her crash too badly.

Hmm?

Xia Mengyin stood her ground and watched Shi Hao’s receding figure, a special feminine intuition giving her a strong sense of familiarity.

Could it be... he has returned?

At this moment, only Weng Nanqing was left in front of Shi Hao.

He smiled, what was the difference between his wife winning the championship and him coming in first?

However, just as Weng Nanqing was about to reach the finish line, she suddenly stopped.

She smiled sweetly at Shi Hao, the meaning couldn’t be clearer.

I am your wife, willing to stand behind you, letting you win all the glory.

Shi Hao also smiled, the nature of this first place was no different, who would get it was all the same?

He too stopped, then side by side with Weng Nanqing, both reached the finish line at the same time.

Tied for first place.

This!

Who could have expected such a finish?

"Haha, how surprising! Too surprising!" Pei Xuehai laughed loudly, "One with the best luck, the other with the worst, yet these two have joined hands to take first place together. Who could have seen this coming?"

"Let us congratulate Weng Nanqing, and this masked dark horse contestant!"

With this, the chariot race concluded.

Shi Hao was about to remove his mask and reveal his identity when Shi Tangyin strode toward him.

"Miss Weng, and you—" Shi Tangyin nodded towards Shi Hao, "The chariot race was just an appetizer, what comes next is the true martial arts competition. Are you interested in joining?"
