Open up and break into another world

The battle footage from within the Osmanthus True Hall was retrieved.

Through the footage, the Second and Third Young Pavilion Masters saw that on the battle stage, Yan Yu and over twenty other heaven-defying geniuses were surrounding Xu Ming; yet Xu Ming appeared calm and indifferent, with a look of disdain.

When the twenty-plus heaven-defying geniuses simultaneously drew their swords and blades, charging towards Xu Ming, Xu Ming moved.

Xu Ming simply formed a sword with two fingers, drawing an eerie sword radiance in the void.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!…

Yan Yu, You Heming, and the other twenty-plus geniuses all perished, their paths extinguished.

“What!?”

“What!?”

The Second Young Pavilion Master, Mu Zinuo, and the Third Young Pavilion Master, Mu Zifan, both widened their eyes in shock.

“Instant kill!!”

“Barehanded, instantly killing over twenty heaven-defying geniuses!!”

Mu Zinuo and Mu Zifan had originally thought that Xu Ming had barely managed to win after a fierce battle; now, they realized that they had greatly underestimated Xu Ming.

The two brothers, Mu Zinuo and Mu Zifan, who had been fighting for many years, couldn't help but exchange a look, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Xu Ming, a heaven-defying genius to a terrifying degree!

Chao Xiang was equally terrified—the sword radiance released by Xu Ming's two fingers forming a sword made him feel a deep sense of fear!

“I should be able to withstand this sword radiance! But… Xu Ming clearly hasn't shown his full strength!” Chao Xiang thought to himself, “If he were to unleash his full strength, even I might not be his match…”

Chao Xiang felt incredibly unbelievable!

Mu Zifan, of course, knew what the other was thanking him for, and secretly transmitted his voice: “Second Brother, this Xu Ming is definitely a genius at the ‘Heaven-Defying Limit’ level! Such a genius is rarely seen in the entire history of the Heaven Offering World—he can die in the Heaven Offering Assembly, but if he were to die at your hands, then…”

“I understand!” Mu Zinuo fearfully transmitted his voice, “If you hadn't insisted on stopping me just now, I might have accidentally killed this Heaven-Defying Limit genius! When the punishment descends, not only me, but even our Osmanthus Pavilion, I'm afraid, would suffer some consequences… Fortunately! Fortunately!”

“Yes! Fortunately!” Mu Zifan also said.

In fact, heaven-defying geniuses are also divided into different levels.

The most ordinary heaven-defying genius can achieve “one against a thousand” among their peers, and is called: Heaven-Defying First Level Genius!—Heaven-Defying First Level Geniuses appear in every era, and will show their talent at the Heaven Offering Assembly.

More powerful Heaven-Defying Second Level Geniuses can achieve “one against ten thousand” among their peers; for example, You Heming, and Luo Shui after his epiphany breakthrough, are both at this level!—Heaven-Defying Second Level Geniuses will definitely shine brightly if they participate in the Heaven Offering Assembly.

Heaven-Defying Third Level Geniuses are even more capable of “one against one hundred thousand” among their peers!—Perhaps not even one genius of this level will appear in ten Heaven Offering Assemblies! Once they appear, they will become the most dazzling existence in the entire Heaven Offering World!

Above the Heaven-Defying Third Level is the “Heaven-Defying Limit”! Mu Zinuo and Mu Zifan both believed that Xu Ming was definitely a Heaven-Defying Limit genius!

The value of a Heaven-Defying Limit genius is incomparable to even ten thousand Heaven-Defying First Level geniuses!

“Third Brother, congratulations!” Mu Zinuo said with some envy.

It was even more difficult to hide the joy on Mu Zifan's face. You must know that for a long time in the past, he was the bottom of the five Young Pavilion Masters, and was almost suppressed to the point of never being able to turn over; but now, because of Xu Ming's appearance, Mu Zifan is likely to make a comeback.

“Please keep it a secret for me for the time being, Second Brother!” Mu Zifan said.

“I know!” Mu Zinuo said without hesitation.

Although the two brothers often fought, in the end, they were still brothers! Moreover, mutual competition was also to draw strength from the competition, so that Osmanthus Pavilion could develop faster and stronger!

When it comes to major events, the two brothers will still unite against outsiders! After all, the Violet Light Sect is the real enemy of Osmanthus Pavilion!

The emergence of a Heaven-Defying Limit genius is undoubtedly a major event of great importance; at this time, the two brothers naturally put aside internal strife.

“Don't worry!” Mu Zinuo added, “Chao Xiang won't talk nonsense either!”

“Yes, yes, yes! I know what's important!” Of course, Chao Xiang also knew the importance of the emergence of a Heaven-Defying Limit genius to Osmanthus Pavilion.

…

After this battle, Xu Ming clearly felt that Mu Zifan's attitude towards him was completely different; it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as being solicitous.

“Sure enough, no matter where you are, strength is respected, and you have to rely on strength to speak!” Xu Ming sighed, “However, I only slightly showed the tip of the iceberg of my strength! If I were to show my true strength, wouldn't I scare Mu Zifan silly?”

Xu Ming was lying on a rattan chair, leisurely eating and drinking; suddenly, Luo Shui's voice came from outside the window: “Sinner Luo Shui, requests to see Brother Ming!”

Sinner Luo Shui?

Xu Ming was stunned: “What's the situation?”

But he still got up to open the door.

The door opened, and Xu Ming saw that Luo Shui was carrying several electric thorn branches on his back, kneeling on one knee in front of his door. On the electric thorn branches, ferocious electric snakes were roaming, scorching Luo Shui's back with crackling sounds.

“Luo Shui, what is this…?” Xu Ming looked at Luo Shui in surprise.

Luo Shui solemnly said: “Brother Ming! I was too arrogant and conceited before, and even offended you with my words; not only did Brother Ming not care, but you also saved my life! Today, I have come to bear the thorns and ask for forgiveness, to apologize for my previous ignorant actions!—From now on, my life belongs to Brother Ming; whatever Brother Ming asks me to do, I will do!”

“I'm dizzy!” Xu Ming was really speechless, “Why do you take such a small matter to heart?”

Hearing this, Luo Shui couldn't help but be even more moved by Brother Ming's noble character: “Brother Ming, it may only be a small effort for you! But for me, it is a life-saving grace!”

“Uh… you get up first!” Xu Ming waved his hand, manipulating his divine power to forcibly lift Luo Shui from the ground.

“Brother Ming, please ask, is there anything I can do for you?” Luo Shui was respectful, behaving like a servant.

Serve?

With Luo Shui's strength, how can he serve Brother Ming?

Suddenly, Xu Ming had an idea in his mind: “Luo Shui, you are now a ‘Heaven-Defying Second Level Genius’, right?”

“Yes!” Luo Shui respectfully said, “Thanks to Brother Ming's guidance, I was able to transform into a Heaven-Defying Second Level Genius!”

Although Heaven-Defying First Level Geniuses are rare, there are still quite a few in each era; Heaven-Defying Second Level Geniuses are different, and there may not be a few in an era!—Luo Shui's ability to become a Heaven-Defying Second Level Genius is indeed a transformation!

“I didn't give you any guidance, it's all your own talent and comprehension!” Xu Ming smiled, “Luo Shui, I have something to discuss with you!”

“Brother Ming, please feel free to instruct me!” Luo Shui said without hesitation.
