Chapter 1816: Xiao Zheng Steps into Half-step Supreme

"Evil God..."

The attendant serving beside couldn’t help but let out a gasp.

She never expected that what had started as a friendly spar would evolve into this scene.

Xiao Zheng lay in a pool of blood, his chest mostly collapsed, his breathing barely detectable, almost indistinguishable from a corpse.

Anxiety flickered in Hades’ eyes.

Only at this moment did she realize.

Hades hadn’t really intended to go all out, but as the fight progressed, she couldn’t help but exert more force. Seeing Xiao Zheng’s dire state made her worried that she might have killed him.

Hades quickly strode to Xiao Zheng’s side and carefully examined his injuries.

Seeing so much blood made Hades fall into deep self-blame.

Fortunately, the examination slightly reassured her.

Xiao Zheng is still alive!

As long as there’s life, there’s hope!

Hades immediately prepared to treat Xiao Zheng but was caught off guard when streaks of golden light began to flow from his wounds.

"This is..."

Hades sensed a powerful aura, causing her to halt and refrain from touching Xiao Zheng’s body.

Though she couldn’t figure out the transformation happening within Xiao Zheng’s body, the only thing she knew was that this change would greatly benefit him.

Hades then stood up, silently guarding beside him.

The attendant looked on with worry and asked, "Your Highness, should we send Evil God for urgent care?"

"No need," Hades replied slowly.

The attendant was momentarily at a loss, unable to understand why she made such a decision.

Hades glanced at her and said calmly, "There’s no need for you here anymore. You may leave. I will stay here until he awakens."

The attendant dared not speak further, quickly turned, and left.

In the vast Martial Arts Arena, only Xiao Zheng and Hades remained.

Just as she had told the attendant, she remained at Xiao Zheng’s side from beginning to end, without moving an inch. Standing there, she was like a towering tree providing shelter from the storm.

Xiao Zheng’s condition gradually improved.

Despite the severe injuries, thanks to the presence of Golden Bone within him, his regenerative abilities were far superior to martial artists of the same realm, almost to a monstrous level.

Had it been someone else, they would have died from such grave injuries long ago.

Time ticked away silently.

Hades watched over Xiao Zheng for three full days.

During this time, Hades witnessed the birth of a miracle.

Xiao Zheng’s body completely healed; shattered bones and ruptured meridians restored as if new. Even his once scarred chest was fully healed, leaving no trace.

If not for the bloodstains on his body, Hades would’ve doubted whether the fight had occurred at all.

Three more days passed.

Xiao Zheng finally awoke.

Seeing him slowly wake, Hades felt a surge of emotion, yet for some reason, all the words of concern transformed into simplicity, "You’re awake."

As if she hadn’t guarded Xiao Zheng for six days, as if none of it had ever occurred.

Xiao Zheng merely slept, and Hades was calling him to rise.

As simple as that.

Xiao Zheng sat up, exhaling deeply, "Awake, I feel like I’ve slept for a century. I even feel as if I’ve died once."

"How do you feel now?" Hades inquired.

Upon hearing, Xiao Zheng clenched his hand vigorously, a hint of excitement appeared on his face, "I, I seem to have made a breakthrough! I feel my body is now brimming with strength!"

His aura was undoubtedly stronger compared to six days ago.

Hades had already made a judgment in her mind and then said, "Hit me with everything you’ve got."

"Hit you? Are you sure?" Xiao Zheng asked, eager to try.

Hades just stared at him, saying nothing.

But Xiao Zheng understood her intent, stood up and said with a smile, "Then remember to shield yourself with Gang Qi, or I might hurt you with a punch."

Hades still said nothing, but a smile glinted in her eyes.

Yet, she eventually did raise a Vigorous Energy Shield, even though she doubted Xiao Zheng’s punch could harm her, she was willing to heed his request.

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and struck Hades with a powerful punch.

Boom!

The terrifying impact sounded instantly across the Martial Arts Arena!

The immense power released in that moment, even transformed into visible ripples, like water waves, swiftly sweeping in all directions!

Xiao Zheng was astonished!

Even Hades was taken aback!

Neither expected that Xiao Zheng could shatter Hades’ Vigorous Energy Shield with a single punch!

It’s known that the gap between Supreme Realm and Martial Saint Realm is like the difference between heaven and earth!

Even if Xiao Zheng’s strength surpasses a typical Peak of Martial Saint, it should be impossible to shatter the Vigorous Energy Shield of Hades, who has reached the Supreme Realm!

"Unless..." A peculiar color flashed in Hades’ eyes, "Unless you’ve already reached the Supreme Realm."

"Impossible, I can’t fly yet," Xiao Zheng immediately shook his head.

Using Gang Qi for aerial flight is the greatest ability of breaking into Supreme Realm and proof of strength.

On hearing this, Hades nodded and said, "Indeed, I haven’t sensed Supreme Realm aura in you. But you can still break my Protective Gang Qi with a punch, could it be that you’ve reached a Half-step Supreme Realm?"

"Half-step Supreme... I think it’s possible," Xiao Zheng said, while sensing his own strength, "I feel as if I’ve been reborn."

"Moreover, I have a hunch that I’m about to break into Supreme Realm! This premonition is far stronger than any before!"

Hades glanced at him and said, "Then it should be true. You’ve now stepped into Half-step Supreme realm; destruction followed by rebirth has brought you great rewards."

"Haha, I knew it, breakthroughs can only be sought through life-and-death battles!" Xiao Zheng said excitedly, "Coming to you was the right choice! Although I’ve only reached Half-step Supreme, I believe the day I truly break into Supreme Realm isn’t far off!"

Xiao Zheng clenched his fist with overwhelming dominance!
