"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xuan remained calm.

However, a fierce fighting spirit also flickered in his eyes.

A genius against a genius, a dream come true.

Boom!

With a fist strike that reached the heavens and the earth, Xiao Xuan immediately unleashed the Vermilion Bird Divine Fist.

Golden flames covered the sky, and a pair of golden imperial fists pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, the fierce and unparalleled fist energy crashing down on the golden weapons that were covering the sky.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

In an instant, the void shattered, unleashing a series of violent and deafening explosions.

The turbulent void tore through the entire sea of ​​clouds, instantly plunging the two figures into a chaotic mist. Only two divine streaks could be seen darting, colliding, and exploding within the tangled clouds...

In an instant, the roaring sounds of heaven and earth boiled the sky, and the terrifying chaos shocked everyone's hearts, especially the little ones, who watched with great interest.

"Holy crap! Yi Cheng, they're amazing!"

Little Fatty stared with his bright, lively eyes, completely mesmerized.

These two didn't hold back from the start; their techniques and methods clashed directly, without even using their weapons. For top geniuses like them, simple probing was meaningless; only extreme clashes and battles could reveal a person's true path and style.

"Luo Bingshu truly lives up to his reputation as a top genius of Beiju Luzhou. He and Si Wu are both at the same level, and for a time they are evenly matched."

This was not Qin Shou praising his disciple, but rather he knew that his disciple was cultivating a divine-level technique bestowed by the system, and that his disciple himself was unparalleled in talent and extraordinary in comprehension. Furthermore, he had experienced numerous tribulations and gained many opportunities, in addition to his extraordinary bloodline and the blessing of divine power.

Qin Shou had thought that within the same realm, there was no one in the world who could rival Xiao Xuan, but today he realized that he had underestimated him.

"Hehe, it must be that your disciple is indeed extraordinary, able to fight on par with the prodigy of the Luo Shen Clan."

Song Ningsheng chuckled.

From his perspective, Xiao Xuan was ultimately just a promising young talent from a remote border state of the Tianxuan Continent. Even if he had some inheritance, he was no match for a behemoth like the Luoshen Dynasty.

But now it seems I underestimated this young king.

His vital energy was so robust that it was comparable to that of the successor of the Luoshen Dynasty.

It should be noted that Beiju Luzhou is one of the five great divine continents in the world, a place where sword cultivators gather in large numbers, and sword cultivators are known as having the strongest combat power and the greatest killing power among those of the same realm.

The Luoshen Dynasty does not primarily cultivate the sword path, yet it has managed to occupy a region in Beiju Luzhou and become one of the top hegemonic forces. This demonstrates just how powerful the Luoshen Dynasty must be.

This is not only due to the profound foundation of the Luoshen Dynasty, but also to the Luoshen Dynasty's several major offensive techniques, whose high-end killing power is no less than that of sword cultivators, and in some aspects even stronger.

This Luo Bing Shu not only comprehended the [Military Strategy] technique imprinted within Mount Luo Shen, but also stood out in the sword-wielding Beiju Luzhou, hailed as the number one warrior of the new generation in the same realm. This demonstrates just how powerful his combat strength and killing power truly are.

But Xiao Xuan was not only able to resist, but also to fight fiercely with him. Song Ningsheng even subtly discovered that Xiao Xuan intentionally did not do too much defense, but instead, like Luo Bingshu, advocated attack.

Perhaps in their eyes, the ultimate offensive is the highest level of defense, or perhaps they are both using each other's methods to hone their own skills.

"Hehe, senior, do you think my disciple is superior, or is the successor of the Luo Shen Dynasty stronger?"

Qin Shou asked leisurely while cracking sunflower seeds.

Song Ningsheng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. These two seem to be using their full strength, but they're actually holding back. The more top-tier geniuses clash, the harder it is to predict the outcome until the very last moment."

"Hmm." Qin Shou nodded in agreement, then added, "How about we make a bet? I'll bet on my disciple!"

"What are we betting on?"

Song Ningsheng glanced sideways, clearly showing some interest.

Seeing this, Qin Shou smiled and said, "I've heard you possess a scroll of divine observation strategies. At its end, it's said to grant the ability to see the past and future. I'm very curious and would like to borrow it to have a look."

"That won't do."

Song Ningsheng decisively shook his head. "The Divine Observation Strategy is a closely guarded secret of our Divine Observation Temple. This strategy is extremely mysterious and even connected to the upper realm. What our Divine Observation Temple currently possesses is only one part of it. Even so, I cannot lend it to you."

"It's not that I can't lend it to you for a look, but rather that I can't do it."

Song Ningsheng laughed and said, "The Divine Strategy of Observation is extraordinary; it is both real and illusory. Furthermore, the Divine Strategy of Observation comprehended by successive generations of practitioners of my Divine Observation Temple is actually different each time."

"In short, it's quite complex. It requires a special inheritance, using one's own divine sense as a medium to observe the river of time and various deities from a place of 'Divine Observation,' thereby creating one's own 'Divine Observation Strategy.'"

"When I received the inheritance, I entered that land of divine observation. Over seven years, I used my divine sense to outline my own [Divine Observation Strategy]. With this strategy, I even gained the power to command all spirits."

“My master once said that I am the successor who has stayed the longest in that land of divine observation. He also said that if one day I can ascend to the path of immortality and gradually perfect the scroll of divine observation I possess, I can make it shine brightly, drive stars and chase the moon, evolve the Great Dao, and even construct a world like the Tianxuan Continent, commanding all living beings to fight for me.”

"It's a pity, though. My scroll of the Divine Observation Strategy was destroyed when I was undergoing my tribulation, as it was used to resist the heavenly tribulation and the erosion of strange forces. Although a wisp of my true spirit remains, I can no longer recreate the full essence of that scroll."

"well....... "

Song Ningsheng sighed softly.

The reason he was able to maintain a sliver of clarity and keep his true spirit intact despite the strange corruption was mainly due to the blessing of the Immortal Scripture and the Divine Strategy.

"Oh? Is the divine observation strategy of your Guanyin Temple really that amazing!"

Qin Shou revealed a hint of surprise and interest.

"Hehe, yes, otherwise how could my Guanyin Temple, a single lineage of Daoists, have the audacity to contend with that vast Daoist clan, and how could I have debated the Dao with that Daoist prodigy without being defeated?"

"However, I once heard the patriarch mention that there truly is a scroll of divine observation strategies in this world. It is also rumored that if one could master that scroll, one could not only command the power of all living beings, but even command gods to fight for one's own sake."

Song Ningsheng said with some suspicion, "When I heard this news back then, I strongly suspected that the place where I entered the Taoist temple when I was young was very likely transformed from that initial scroll of the Divine Observation Strategy."

"Otherwise, I simply cannot understand how such a place could exist in the long river of time."

"Of course, this is just my own guess."

Song Ningsheng shrugged.

He looked carefree at that moment, but he was actually feeling lonely.

In this golden age, when geniuses vied for supremacy, he was one of the most spirited and ambitious, yet his story ended prematurely.

In his heart, there was always a knot in his heart: he had not been able to ascend to immortality, had not been able to fight against the immortals by her side, and had not been able to catch a glimpse of the true splendor of the Great Dao.

Song Ningsheng suddenly frowned, as if he had remembered something.

"Nanning Xuan is dead, but where are Daozi and Fozi? Are they dead too...?"

"Senior, can the Divine Strategist of the Guanyin Temple truly glimpse the past and future?"

At this moment, Qin Shou asked again out of curiosity.

"How would I know? In any case, the scroll of Divine Observation I possess, while possessing unfathomable power, can only intervene in the present world for a fleeting moment, far from being able to glimpse the past, let alone the future."

Song Ningsheng responded, "However, I think that the Initial Observation Divine Strategy mentioned by the Ancestor might possess this power."

"oh. "

Qin Shou nodded and fell into deep thought.

Then he asked, "Senior, may I join your Guanyin Temple?"

Song Ningsheng: ......

He really wanted to say that our temple doesn't accept animals, but then he thought, "I'm under your roof, what if I anger you again and you don't give me a lotus petal in the future?"

"Hmm... let's see how things go."

Finally, Song Ningsheng nodded and answered in this way.

"Okay, okay, I'll visit the Guanyin Temple sometime if I have the chance." If you don't let me join, I'll tear down that dilapidated temple.

Qin Shou muttered to himself.

At this moment, he was particularly interested in the Guanshen Strategies of the Guanshen Temple.

Bang!

Suddenly, the void exploded again.

Luo Bingshu made a careless move, causing the furnace of qi and blood he had gathered around his body to explode. He was also hit on the shoulder by Xiao Xuan's fist, and his body was instantly slammed into the sea of ​​clouds, sliding backward for thousands of meters, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"good! "

Upon seeing this, Yi Cheng's little eyes widened in surprise. She jumped up excitedly from her little stool, raised her arms, and shouted:

"Go, Four No's! Go, Four No's!"

Seeing this, Little Fatty and Black Rabbit also jumped onto the small stools with a "whoosh," imitating Yi Cheng, and raised their arms and shouted:

"Keep it up, you four no's!"

"Four No's, mighty!"

"Four no's, go for it!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh! All four are invincible!!!"

The little ones shouted at the top of their lungs, their faces flushed with excitement.

Qin Shou was also pulled back to his senses by the intense atmosphere, and he stepped on Yi Cheng's small stool and shouted:

"My disciple, keep going! My disciple, keep going!"

“..........”

Song Ningsheng glanced at Qin Shou briefly, then silently looked away.

"Giggle giggle..."

Seeing this, Wen Qing suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.
