Chapter 39: Then I Will Let You See

The ancients truly did not deceive me... shouldn't it be like this?

Zuo Yungui felt his world collapse once again.

The book had clearly written it down with such certainty!

Reading the confusion on Zuo Yungui's face, Ren Yidao considerately began to explain:

"Actually, what you thought was not wrong."

"Compared to my Spirit Dao, I am indeed not skilled in the techniques of physical cultivation."

"But you must understand one thing: this is only relative to myself; it does not mean I am truly much worse than others."

Ren Yidao extended his palm, gently tapped his fingertip against Zuo Yungui's chest, and then pushed his palm out violently!

Whoosh!

Zuo Yungui was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a pit in the arena.

"Cough! Cough, cough..."

His chest had already had several ribs broken by his own hammering, and after this palm strike, at least three more were broken.

Walking to the edge of the pit, Ren Yidao looked down at Zuo Yungui, who was struggling to get up, and added:

"The premise is that you must be able to land an attack on me."

If you can't even touch me, then what else is there to talk about?

"I suggest you stop moving around."

Gasping in pain, Zuo Yungui looked at Ren Yidao's face; there was no pride or smugness on the young man's face.

He was simply stating a fact very calmly.

"Haha..."

Zuo Yungui suddenly began to laugh.

Laughing hysterically.

"Hahaha, hahaha! So that's how it is... cough, cough, hahaha!"

Zuo Yungui did not break down.

He had merely realized his own weakness.

And what his heart truly thought.

In fact, from the very beginning, Zuo Yungui knew clearly in his heart that he was no match for Ren Yidao.

Everyone had not said it explicitly, but their gazes had already explained everything.

His grandfather was telling him, his fellow disciples and Senior Uncles were telling him, and even the Dao God in his own heart was constantly telling him...

That he was not his opponent.

And the choice he made was to ignore these voices, create a beautiful dream for himself, and work hard in that direction.

But now, this dream had awakened.

It was time for him to grow up.

I am inferior to him... haha!

Watching Zuo Yungui, who was laughing until tears flowed, Ren Yidao said nothing more and turned to leave.

At a time like this, anyone's comfort was useless; he could only rely on himself to walk out of it.

Especially since it should not be him, the culprit, who offered comfort.

But the voice from behind made his footsteps stop.

"Wait, don't go!"

"Let me see, see!"

Zuo Yungui endured the sharp pain, flipped his body over, and then used his arms to crawl out of the pit bit by bit.

"Cough! Show me your full strength!!!"

Yes.

He was inferior to him.

But so what?

So what!!?

He had not been the most outstanding disciple of Lieyang Peak in the past either; there were other disciples more outstanding than him, but they had all eventually fallen at his feet.

To be able to reach this step today, did he really only rely on the empty title of being the Peak Master's grandson?

No.

No!!!

He glared, roaring hoarsely:

"Don't make me look down on you..."

Because of the height difference, most of the disciples could not see his wretched state.

They only noticed that the smile Ren Yidao had been wearing was disappearing bit by bit, then settling into calmness.

Letting out a long sigh, Ren Yidao shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Stubborn, proud, refusing to bow...

Sigh.

"You child, you've never been willing to give up easily since you were young... Fine."

"Since you want to see, then I will let you see."

Boom—

Violent spiritual power erupted from his body, instantly sweeping across the entire arena.

Amidst the gradually dissipating mist, an eight-tailed white fox walked out from behind Ren Yidao and let out a long howl toward the sky!

"A Dharma Aspect!?"

Teng Junwei blurted out, but quickly realized his mistake.

"No, he hasn't sculpted a Divine Statue; it is not a Dharma Aspect."

The prize for the Inter-Peak Grand Competition was intended to allow Ren Yidao to lay the best foundation for a Dharma Aspect; he had no reason to sculpt a Divine Statue ahead of time.

"So... that is still just a Dao God."

But is this really possible?

Although they were clear on this fact in their hearts, they were still unwilling to admit it easily.

How could there be a Dao God that looks so much like a Dharma Aspect!

Because if they were not aware of Ren Yidao's uniqueness, they would only think this was a cultivator in the Dharma Aspect Realm who had broken through long ago.

They also truly understood why Ren Yidao had appeared indifferent toward the Grand Competition from beginning to end.

He had the strength to be indifferent.

The Heavenly Fox Dao God and Ren Yidao lowered their heads in unison, two pairs of identical eyes quietly watching the speechless Zuo Yungui.

Ren Yidao crouched down, pointed his fingers like a peak, and gently tapped Zuo Yungui between the eyebrows.

He said:

"Come and see."

"What true Heavenly Fox Art is."

Glancing at Zuo Yungui, who was being carried horizontally in Ren Yidao's arms, Elder Shen asked with some concern:

"Is Yungui alright?"

Handing Zuo Yungui over to Elder Shen, Ren Yidao shook his head:

"He is fine, he just needs to rest."

I merely had him re-experience every dark history from his childhood to the present three times over within the Heavenly Fox Illusion Realm.

Other than that, there is really no substantial harm.

He looked toward the direction of the Lijin Peak group off the stage, and as expected, did not find the figure of Su Zhibin.

"Heh."

He revealed a smile with an ambiguous meaning and then looked toward Lingxu Peak.

Nodding at the cheering Yu Yu, Ren Yidao similarly did not find that familiar figure.

"Not here?"

Ren Yidao was both annoyed and amused, strongly condemning them in his heart.

"Hilarious."

"What a coward."

Luoyue Peak, Merit Workshop.

Ren Yidao opened the wooden box in his Cave Abode and took out that shimmering golden Dragon Scale.

"True Dragon Scale, the top-tier primary material for sculpting a Divine Statue..."

This secret treasure was worthy of its quality; just by seeing it with his own eyes, Ren Yidao could perceive the power contained within it.

This was a source of evil sufficient to destroy a small sect, and a fortune sufficient to make two powerhouses fight to the death.

And now it had been handed to him so casually.

It was truly incredible.

And what Ren Yidao found even more incredible was another feeling in his heart.

"It seems... not quite right?"

But he had a faint feeling in his heart that this did not seem to be the most suitable one for him.

Huh?

If this isn't the best, then what is?

After thinking for a while and unable to find an answer, Ren Yidao put the Dragon Scale away again, hiding it in the safest place as a precaution.

His butt... er, his tail.

He composed his mood, preparing to welcome the true focus of today.

"Today is the night of the full moon that Shi Anqi spoke of; when will they arrive?"

At this moment, the light outside the Cave Abode caused Ren Yidao's expression to change.

He walked quickly out of the Cave Abode, narrowed his eyes, and whispered:

"They are already here."

That was firelight.

Firelight ignited from Lingxu Peak!
