Chapter 2121: Afraid of Losing Face

After a few breaths, Taoyao Yao brought Shang Yong to the dojo.

Not only did Shang Yong come, but Shang Xihong followed as well.

Moreover, closely following behind Shang Xihong was a young man in a white Daoist robe, with a delicate and handsome face.

Upon seeing He Pingsheng, the young man smiled warmly, then clasped his hands and said: "Fellow Daoist He, I am Shang Xia, sorry for the disturbance!"

So this is Shang Xia, the second brother among the three Shang siblings.

"Hmm..." He Pingsheng also nodded kindly: "Everyone, please have a seat!"

"No need to sit!" Shang Yong waved his hand, his crimson Daoist robe fluttering slightly: "He Pingsheng, I have come today to seek justice!"

He Pingsheng: ……

Justice?

That's what he said.

"How so..." He Pingsheng asked: "You're not convinced?"

"What do you mean, not convinced?" Shang Yong flicked his wide sleeve again: "Is it that you, brat, used other means to conceal the attack of my Blood Dao technique?"

"Otherwise, why weren't you affected by my divine ability?"

"I suspect that during the match that day, you must have been hiding a divine artifact capable of countering my Blood Dao technique on your person!"

"The competition rules stated that external objects are not allowed!"

He Pingsheng laughed angrily at him: Damn it, if you can't beat me, you resort to cheating, right?

"Alright..." he nodded: "You say I used external objects—then produce evidence; empty words don't count!"

"Don't worry!" Shang Yong said: "I am not such a narrow-minded petty person; I came today not to settle our previous score!"

"I simply want to fight you again!"

"A proper, genuine fight!"

"Without any magical treasures, just pure strength speaking!"

"I don't believe that a mere Second Layer Divine Lord like you could instantly kill me!"

Shang Yong certainly didn't believe it.

He is, after all, the number one genius of Taoshan—rankings don't matter, neither does the Shakyamuni Divine Fruit.

In his heart, only one thing matters most: I am a genius.

I will crush everyone.

I am number one!

In this world, no one is worthy to be my peer at the same realm.

How could someone ten minor realms below me possibly kill me with a single punch?

Absolutely impossible!

"Father..." Shang Xihong's voice came from within her Divine Sense: "This brat still isn't convinced; it seems your last lesson to him wasn't deep enough!"

"This time, taking advantage of this opportunity, directly crush his confidence!"

He Pingsheng did not respond, merely nodding at Shang Xihong.

"How shall we fight?" He Pingsheng looked at Shang Yong: "You draw up the rules!"

Shang Yong said: "Very simple—we go to the martial arena and fight again!"

"No!" He Pingsheng shook his head: "I don't want to fight in front of people; this time, let's fight in private!"

"Let's change the venue!"

"I happen to have a small world!" Shang Xihong suddenly produced a bead, saying: "Inside lies several thousand zhang of space!"

"Although it's a bit small, it's enough for the two of you to fight in!"

He Pingsheng extended his Divine Sense toward the bead.

Fifth rank!

Yes, the bead's rank is fifth rank.

Although I don't know what it is.

"Alright..." He Pingsheng nodded.

He wasn't afraid of Shang Xihong scheming against him.

Because a fifth-rank space could not possibly trap him.

He Pingsheng at least has two ways to escape from this space.

The first is to use a seventh-rank 【Transmission Divine Talisman】; the second is to have Gu Baiying act, using the power of a Divine King to directly shatter this fifth-rank space.

A fifth-rank small world, frankly speaking, is just a fifth-rank formation!

"I have no objection!" He Pingsheng said: "But since you came to challenge me, it's improper not to show some sincerity, isn't it?"

"This way, if I lose, I'll give you my Shakyamuni Divine Fruit!"

"Good!" Shang Yong gritted his teeth: "If I lose, my divine fruit goes to you!"

He Pingsheng chuckled: "Fine, remember this—when cultivating the planting Dao technique, inflict heavy damage on the wood spirit root; I want the wood spirit root!"

Shang Yong snorted coldly: "You're overthinking it!"

"Then let's go in and fight!" Shang Xihong waved her hand: "Open..."

A black vortex instantly appeared before everyone.

She was the first to dive into the vortex.

He Pingsheng, Shang Yong, Shang Xia, and Taoyao Yao closely followed.

After the five entered, the vortex closed.

Indeed, it was a small world.

He Pingsheng looked left and right; the world was about five thousand zhang in radius, not small.

Within this five-thousand-zhang space, everything was mountain ranges.

One small peak after another rose upon the undulating mountain ranges.

Clouds and mist swirled, light smoke billowed.

The scenery was not bad.

But in reality, it had no particular use.

He Pingsheng asked: "Your little world, what is it?"

Shang Xihong smiled: "Replying to Father, this bead is called the 【Qiankun Pearl】, a fifth-grade item, actually nothing special; you can treat it as a fifth-grade divine artifact. This is a fifth-grade divine artifact forged by artifact refiners who integrated spatial formations!"

"Later I continuously moved the outside mountains into it, thus forming today's little world!"

"Unfortunately, there is no divine power here, nor can divine herbs be grown!"

He Pingsheng asked: "What about placing two divine veins inside?"

"Also impossible!" Shang Xihong shook her head: "The mountains here are all rootless mountains, their earth veins severed and brought in; divine veins cannot grow in such mountains, so the greatest use of this thing is storage, hehehe..."

"You two can fight boldly inside; worst comes to worst, I'll replace the mountains inside later!"

Shang Xihong spoke very lightly, as if everything in the Qiankun Pearl were merely her potted plants.

"What do you want to compare?" He Pingsheng asked.

Shang Yong said: "Of course, compare combat power!"

He Pingsheng said: "Directly compare combat power; if I knock you out with one punch, you might not accept it!"

"Then let's do this!"

"Combat power actually breaks down into nothing more than speed, divine power, Dao arts, and Divine Sense!"

"Let's compare item by item, how about that?"

He Pingsheng looked at Shang Yong.

Shang Yong said: "My speed is inferior to yours; no need to compare this item!"

Initially, He Pingsheng, using the divine ability of 【Piercing Heaven Wings】, unfurled his wings, reaching extreme speed, which Shang Yong had witnessed.

No need to continue comparing.

"Then let's compare... Dao arts!" Shang Yong said: "I cultivate the Blood Great Dao; what Dao arts do you cultivate?"

He Pingsheng said nothing, merely silently activating the divine ability of 【Void Swift Movement】.

In the next moment, his body appeared on the other side of the little world, several thousand zhang away.

Then, in the time it took for everyone's eyes to flicker slightly, He Pingsheng returned before everyone.

"This is the Dao art I cultivate, the Spatial Great Dao..."

Buzz buzz buzz...

While speaking, he slightly extended his right hand; a cluster of white, like smoke, spatial Dao art origin was condensed by him.

Its quality indeed reached the supreme grade.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." Everyone gasped in unison.

Shang Xia said: "No wonder you can teleport; Fellow Daoist He has cultivated spatial Dao art of the same grade to the extreme!"

Taoyao Yao said: "Your husband's spatial Dao art power is too strong; just this one move allows him to stand invincible!"

Shang Yong beside them, his face slightly darkened, said: "Alright... in this Dao art comprehension, I am inferior to you!"

He cultivates the Blood Great Dao, naturally also capable of condensing his own Dao art origin.

But the Dao art origin he condenses himself is at most medium-high grade, with only a little supreme grade.

Compared to He Pingsheng's Dao art origin, all supreme grade, it is simply trash compared to his grandmother's house!

He dare not condense, afraid of losing face!
