Open up and break into another world

Show off a little?

Luo Shui's words sounded normal enough; however, if Xu Ming really went on stage to show off a little, as he said, wouldn't that be the same as being treated like a monkey?

Xu Ming could naturally sense the ill intent in Luo Shui's words, so his tone wasn't polite either: "If Brother Luo Shui wants to enlighten me, I'm always ready to oblige!"

Xu Ming's implication was: if you want to fight, then come; if you don't want to fight, then don't bark!

The atmosphere in the arena fell silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at Xu Ming in disbelief—he actually dared to challenge Luo Shui?

You should know that Luo Shui is a heaven-defying genius, and his cultivation is even a small level higher than Xu Ming's! Xu Ming actually dared to challenge Luo Shui, was this because he had absolute confidence in his own strength, or was he just arrogant and ignorant?

"You…" Luo Shui's face immediately darkened—with his pride, how could he tolerate being provoked by someone with a lower cultivation than himself?

Immediately, Luo Shui was about to erupt.

Just then, Mu Zifan laughed and smoothed things over, saying: "Luo Shui, Xu Ming, the Heavenly Offering Assembly is imminent, let's not spar amongst ourselves; let's save our ultimate moves to shine brightly at the Heavenly Offering Assembly!"

Mu Zifan said this not because he didn't think highly of Xu Ming; but because no matter who won between Xu Ming and Luo Shui, it wouldn't be a good thing for him! After all, Mu Zifan only had three heaven-defying geniuses under his command, and it wouldn't be good if the relationship between two of them soured.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ku Jianxiu also chimed in, "If we make a move now, it's easy to expose some of our secrets, which would definitely be very detrimental to our participation in the Heavenly Offering Assembly!"

"Everything is for the sake of the big picture!" Others also said.

"Humph!" Luo Shui took a swig of his drink, huffed angrily, and didn't say much.

Xu Ming just smiled and didn't say anything—in fact, from beginning to end, Xu Ming had never taken Luo Shui seriously!

A Silver Moon Fifth Grade heaven-defying genius?

So what!

Brother Ming didn't believe that Luo Shui, this so-called heaven-defying genius, could have King-Sealing level combat power! Moreover, even if Luo Shui had early-stage King-Sealing combat power, in Xu Ming's eyes, he still wouldn't be enough!

In the end, this banquet came to a close in a delicate atmosphere.

"Brother Xu Ming!" Before the banquet ended, Ku Jianxiu shook his head and said via voice transmission, "Luo Shui's strength is even stronger than mine! You've fallen out with him…"

Xu Ming smiled and said, "He provoked me first!"

"But… you're only Silver Moon Fourth Grade, while Luo Shui is a Silver Moon Fifth Grade heaven-defying genius!" Ku Jianxiu said, "Forget it, forget it! Anyway, just keep a low profile! Before the Heavenly Offering Assembly, don't clash with him again!"

In the Heavenly Offering Realm, those who can be called heaven-defying geniuses at least possess the strength to fight a thousand opponents of the same level! Every heaven-defying genius is incredibly heaven-defying in strength; therefore, it's almost impossible for heaven-defying geniuses to defeat opponents of a higher level!—Even if it's only a small level difference!

After all, if a heaven-defying genius could defeat other heaven-defying geniuses of a higher level, it would almost mean that he had the strength to fight ten thousand opponents of the same level!—It's not that there aren't heaven-defying geniuses who can fight ten thousand opponents of the same level, but they are extremely rare; it's not certain that one will be seen in every era!

Because of this, most people don't think that Xu Ming will be a match for Luo Shui.

"Alright, I understand!" Xu Ming responded to Ku Jianxiu with a perfunctory sentence, and didn't say anything more.

Strength isn't something to be talked about, but something to be expressed with fists!

With Xu Ming's strength, he naturally wouldn't bother arguing with Luo Shui; but if Luo Shui himself didn't know what was good for him and provoked him again, then don't blame Brother Ming's merciless slaps!

…

Muxi City.

It is one of the two most prosperous cities in the Heavenly Offering Realm. Muxi Pavilion, as well as many of the Heavenly Offering Realm's top experts, are all located within Muxi City.

And the other prosperous city is naturally Ziguang City, where the Ziguang Sect is located.

The palace complex of Third Young Master Mu Zifan is located in Muxi City.

Xu Ming walked out of the palace complex and saw the incredibly bustling scene in the city!—Xu Ming was also a person who had been to the Prefecture City and seen the world, but he clearly felt that the Scarlet Flame Prefecture City was really more than one or two levels behind Muxi City!

Compared to the two, the Scarlet Flame Prefecture City seemed like a backward mountain village, while Muxi City was the most prosperous metropolis.

"What exactly is this Heavenly Offering Realm… Just one city is actually so much more prosperous than the Prefecture City!" Xu Ming was a little shocked, "I wonder, compared to this Muxi City, which one is more prosperous, the 'Holy Emperor City', which is known as the number one city in the Divine Realm!"

If Muxi City was more prosperous than the Holy Emperor City, or could be on par with the Holy Emperor City, then Xu Ming would be completely stunned. However, Xu Ming hadn't been to the Holy Emperor City yet, so it wasn't easy to make a judgment.

Then, Xu Ming started wandering around Muxi City like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city.

On the other side of Muxi City, Ku Jianxiu and Luo Shui were also strolling around the city. Killing was strictly prohibited in Muxi City, and it was an absolutely safe place; therefore, Ku Jianxiu and Luo Shui were not worried about encountering any trouble at all.

However, neither of them knew that trouble had already set its sights on them.

…

Suddenly, Chao Xiang's eyes lit up: "Look, aren't those two Ku Jianxiu and Luo Shui, from Third Young Master's command?"

"Heh! It really is!" The other geniuses also lit up their eyes like wolves.

"Third Young Master Mu Zifan has already lost his momentum among the Young Masters! These two, Ku Jianxiu and Luo Shui, I don't know what they were thinking, they would actually join Third Young Master's command!"

"That's right, they are both heaven-defying geniuses! No matter which Young Master they join, they don't have to worry about no one wanting them, right?"

"I heard…" A silver-haired genius said, "Ku Jianxiu once received a favor from Third Young Master; and Luo Shui received Third Young Master's recognition and appreciation!"

"So that's how it is, no wonder…" The other geniuses said, "Otherwise, with Third Young Master's current power, no genius would join him!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Chao Xiang said, "It is said that just a few days ago, Third Young Master recruited another heaven-defying genius!"

"I know!" The silver-haired genius's information was very well-informed, "Just a Silver Moon Fourth Grade heaven-defying genius, I don't know where he came from, his name seems to be Xu Ming!"

Suddenly, Chao Xiang said: "Since we've seen Ku Jianxiu and Luo Shui here, why don't… you go and teach them a lesson now! Just consider it representing Second Young Master, suppressing the arrogance of Third Young Master's side!"

"That's a good idea! This way, before the Heavenly Offering Assembly even starts, Third Young Master will have already lost face!—Back then, Third Young Master dared to compete with Second Young Master, he should have thought of such consequences!"

"But… this is Muxi City, how can we make a move?"

Chao Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Use your brains!"

The other geniuses immediately understood—using provocation!

Chao Xiang also said: "You guys go, I won't show my face! If I show my face, I'll definitely scare them away!"
