haha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the competition stage, the emaciated Dai Yunshen, with a face full of smugness, patted the Black Cloud Soul Iron in front of him and arrogantly jutted his chin toward Su Hao across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had competed many times and knew each other well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen was well aware that his Purple Heart Lotus Fire held a stability advantage over Su Hao’s Nine Yang Spirit Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he made no mistakes, he was likely to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hao laughed heartily, “You’re saying this now—aren’t you afraid of speaking too soon and getting slapped in the face later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There won’t be anywhere to put your old face then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen scoffed, “Slapped in the face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much weight do you think you carry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t I know how stable your Nine Yang Spirit Fire is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could you possibly use to win against me—your head?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hao laughed again, “You only know after the competition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suspicious look crept over Dai Yunshen’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men were cunning old foxes and very familiar with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hao’s demeanor clearly showed that he had a card up his sleeve, planning a heavy blow that would embarrass him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What hidden card did Su Hao have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stability of the Nine Yang Spirit Fire was relatively poor, and the materials refined by it couldn’t compare to those refined by the Purple Heart Lotus Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall quality of the Magical Treasures they created was bound to be slightly inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This difference, though perhaps not vast, was enough to decide the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On what basis then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that he had obtained a better Artifact Refining Fire than the Nine Yang Spirit Fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen asked skeptically, “Have you obtained a better Miracle Fire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narrowing his eyes with a smile, Su Hao replied playfully, “Is Miracle Fire that easy to come by?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen fixed his gaze on Su Hao, “Then why are you so confident?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hao laughed again, “You’ll know after the competition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen cast him a few suspicious glances, then suddenly his eyes and brows relaxed, “You old kid, using mind games now, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You want to mess with my mental state, make me doubt and get distracted during refining, haha, I can’t believe you’re employing even that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cheeky laugh, Su Hao didn’t deny having obtained the Phoenix Fire but likewise indulged in such strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his opponent harbored doubts, mistakes in refining were possible—though not highly probable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, mind games cost nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please prepare, both parties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another chuckle, Su Hao moved to his competition position, leaving Dai Yunshen puzzled yet compelled to silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition began!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artifact each was refining was simple—a small Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials used were top-tier and refined by grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality of the Magical Treasures they created was comparable to Top Quality Spiritual Treasures, with naturally supreme defensive capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any further talk, both started refining immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refinement process lasted just over half a day, and by sunset, both had completed their work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two competitors were isolated from each other to avoid interference, so neither could see the other’s actions or the Artifact Refining Fire used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two small Shields had been produced, both shimmering with a faint radiance and appearing nearly identical with no discernible differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Conduct the protective strength test.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition judges began testing both Shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Peak Great Luo Immortals ascended into the skies, unleashing their Magical Treasures in powerful strikes against the Shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The booming sounds were thunderous, as if Patriarch Lei, in his fury, was meting out punishment to the human world in a grand and imposing manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The radiance from one Shield suddenly dimmed, struck by a massive force and sent flying from midair, hitting a massive mountain peak, which then exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid gasps of shock, Dai Yunshen’s face changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shield which was struck and whose glow had dimmed was the one he had refined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this be possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to accept it, he looked up to the sky as the remaining Shield also suddenly dimmed in radiance and was likewise sent flying, falling toward the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen’s expression turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Su Hao’s Magical Treasure had not lasted much longer than his, even an instant more was enough to prove that the other’s Magical Treasure was of superior quality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withstanding the same impacts, the one that failed first was clearly of inferior quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head sharply, his gaze fixating on Su Hao, “I made no errors during the refining, and the quality couldn’t possibly be inferior to your Nine Yang Spirit Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you really get a better Artifact Refining Fire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hao laughed heartily, waved, and revealed the Phoenix Fire, exhilarated, “Even Heaven is on my side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told you, the bigger you talk, the harder your face will hurt after the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t I right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen stared intensely at the Phoenix Fire, “What Miracle Fire is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hao waved and put away the Phoenix Fire, said with a smile, “That’s no longer your concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, you know you lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen, triggered by Su Hao’s triumphant demeanor, clenched his molars, but he had nothing to say; after all, he had lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could be unwilling to admit defeat and angry, but denial was not an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Yunshen snorted coldly, “Fine, you win this time by sheer dumb luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I concede!”\u003C\u002Fp>",946,"2026-06-06T01:52:43.024Z",1,"novelbin.me","430c9b070e8e628b05e84c474c36b6e74b99ad70d905c8533bb273210d93791e","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2829","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2827",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
