Chapter 1946: Beat him to death, kid

There's a gap in cultivation levels, so how can that still be called sparring? No problem.

Gave Ye Zhangqing a look that said "I've got this," Zhang Xiaohai stepped forward, his figure instantly appearing on the stage.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohai's figure flash and suddenly stand before him, the Bliss Palace Young Palace Master instinctively stepped back, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes—what is this old thing trying to do?

Not to mention him, even the Bliss Palace Palace Master down below jumped up with a start, gritting his teeth.

"Zhang Xiaohai, what are you trying to do?"

Who doesn't know? The lord of Cooking King Immortal City, Zhang Xiaohai, is the most damn rule‑breaking one among the older powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, always doing as he pleases.

If it were anyone else, in this situation they probably wouldn't dare to strike a junior, but Zhang Xiaohai might—there damn isn't anything he wouldn't dare to do.

Anger him, and he'd dare to lead everyone of Cooking King Immortal City into open war with Bliss Palace.

Actually, it's precisely because of Zhang Xiaohai's personality that Cooking King Immortal City has managed to develop bit by bit despite the oppression and exclusion from the several major immortal cities like Pill King Immortal City and Weapon King Immortal City.

After all, those major immortal cities all know that if you make Zhang Xiaohai angry, he'll really dare to flip the table.

So even when suppressing and excluding him, they dare not go too far.

Full of tension and on guard, fearing Zhang Xiaohai might suddenly strike, both the Bliss Palace Palace Master and the Young Master were tense, but Zhang Xiaohai just curled his lip and said.

"What are you nervous about? I just came up to say a few words."

"What do you want to say?"

In response, the Bliss Palace Palace Master didn't relax at all; on the contrary, his vigilance increased.

But Zhang Xiaohai's next sentence left him dazed; all he heard was Zhang Xiaohai leisurely saying.

"I think there's a problem with this rule."

Huh???

As soon as he said that, not only the Bliss Palace Palace Master but everyone else present was stunned—"A problem with the rule? Where's the problem? Isn't this abnormal sparring?"

Under the doubtful gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xiaohai straightened his expression, looked seriously at the Bliss Palace Palace Master, and said.

"Since it's a sparring match between peers, it should naturally be fair and just, but with a gap in cultivation levels, how can that be fair? That's why I say the rule is problematic."

Huh???

Hearing this, the Bliss Palace Palace Master froze for a moment, then came to his senses, his teeth grinding audibly.

"Listen to what you're saying—is that something a person would say?"

"What do you mean by a cultivation gap? You damn are like raising two pigs—one big, one small—how does that even work?"

"Can that even be called unfair?"

"Zhang Xiaohai, stop messing around here, if Cooking King Immortal City has no one, just admit defeat—why waste time on this and that? As for the cultivation.................."

The Bliss Palace Palace Master only felt it was absurd, too lazy to bother with Zhang Xiaohai—this guy is just a stubborn cling‑on, impossible to shake off.

Arguing with someone like that is literally playing the lute to a cow.

But before he could finish, Zhang Xiaohai's calm sentence directly made the Bliss Palace Palace Master flare up in anger.

"You're not scared, are you?"

Huh???

As soon as he said that, the Bliss Palace Palace Master's words stalled—he froze for a moment, then his eyes practically shot fire.

He glared like a bronze bell, locking eyes with Zhang Xiaohai, gritting his teeth and speaking word by word.

"Scared? Me scared? You've brought so many disciples from Cooking King Immortal City—has Bliss Palace ever lost a match?"

Facing the ferocious‑looking Bliss Palace Palace Master, Zhang Xiaohai remained calm, half‑smiling as he said.

"What does that prove? Winning is only because the rule is flawed."

"What fucking nonsense are you spouting here? Go look around the Immortal Realm—where aren't the rules like this?"

"I don't care—I don't know how it is elsewhere, but in Cooking King Immortal City, that's a problem."

"You................"

"Never mind, never mind—if you're scared, just get lost; who let Cooking King Immortal City have such a big tolerance?"

"Alright, alright, Zhang Xiaohai, you just want a same‑level fight, right? I'm not scared of you—same level, same level."

"What you said?"

Knowing this was Zhang Xiaohai's goading tactic, the Bliss Palace Palace Master still gritted his teeth and agreed.

A same‑level battle, Bliss Palace isn't afraid either—Tang Xin just now was also an Immortal King, yet he still lost.

Although they held an absolute advantage with the immortal body, the Bliss Palace Palace Master clearly knew that even without using the Thousand Illusion Immortal Body, Tang Xin would still lose—it would just be more troublesome and take longer.

As the Bliss Palace Young Palace Master, what's there to fear in a same‑level battle?

So, even knowing this was a goading tactic, the Bliss Palace Palace Master still agreed.

And the Bliss Palace Young Palace Master on the stage shared the same thought.

As a Top Prodigy, he isn't the type to rely on cultivation to overwhelm others; from childhood, compared to bullying the weak with strength, he's experienced more victories of the weak over the strong.

This is probably also the shared experience of all young Heavenly Prides.

After all, if you rise by bullying the weak with strength, how can you still call yourself a Heavenly Pride?

Which young Heavenly Pride can't kill enemies beyond their level? If you can't even do that, how dare you call yourself a Heavenly Pride?

This is basically standard ability.

What's more, a mere same‑level battle.

He didn't even bother to consider what that old man and youngster were thinking; seeing the Bliss Palace Palace Master nod in agreement, Zhang Xiaohai's heart lightened and he quickly nodded.

"All agreed."

"Yes, who is Cooking King Immortal City sending? Hurry up and get them up here."

Hearing that, the Bliss Palace Palace Master said with a dark face, "Even if it's same‑level, the result will still be the same."

That bastard actually thinks Bliss Palace can win because of cultivation suppression? Pure nonsense.

Seeing the situation, Zhang Xiaohuai flashed back to Ye Zhangqing's side, grinning and saying happily.

"All set, now it's up to you, kid."

"City Lord, rest assured."

As he spoke, Ye Zhangqing prepared to go up on stage, but just as he lifted his foot, Zhang Xiaohuai's anticipatory voice came from behind.

"Kid, beat him to death."

"Huh???"

He staggered, almost unable to keep his balance, but his figure had already appeared on the fighting platform.

Ye Zhangqing appeared on the fighting platform in an ungraceful posture; Zhang Xiaohuai's line "beat him to death" really made him almost lose his composure.

Meanwhile, the Young Palace Master of Ultimate Bliss Palace, watching Ye Zhangqing ascend the stage, also sized him up from head to toe.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly thought.

"How could he be at the Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation?"

"Having Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation is already impressive for an ordinary disciple, but what place is this? This is a sparring match between the young lords of both sides!"

"Those ordinary disciples don't even have the qualification to step onto the platform."

"Just like those Cooking King Immortal City disciples he defeated earlier—who among them wasn't a chief senior disciple, and finally there's Tang Xin, the Young City Lord."

"Ordinary disciples—never mind winning or losing, you don't even have the qualification to go on stage."

"Zhang Xiaohuai, are you just messing with me?"
