Open up and break into another world

“In terms of comprehending the Heavenly Way and future achievements, you are far inferior to me!”

After saying these words, Lin Chen contentedly savored them for a moment—not bad! Very imposing! Penetrating! He left Xu Ming with no room to retort!

The assembled geniuses couldn't help but look at Xu Ming, curious how he would respond to such humiliation.

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Ming suddenly smiled.

Yes, Xu Ming smiled.

He smiled very strangely.

“Hmm?” Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly sensed a hint of foreboding.

“Oh…” Xu Ming muttered deeply.

Then suddenly—

*Slap!* !!!

A slap landed directly on Lin Chen's face.

Lin Chen was completely dumbfounded—today was his first time entering the Divine Kingdom, and he didn't expect that just now, Elder Ye Tianhun had slapped his left cheek, and now, Xu Ming had slapped his right cheek; both sides of his face were branded with two red palm prints, truly… a great start!

Zhan Wuwei was also slightly stunned—oh my, what a short temper! Why resort to violence over a disagreement?

However, Zhan Wuwei was an elder of the Asking Dao Palace, and when dealing with disputes between disciples, he naturally had to uphold the principle of “fairness and impartiality,” which meant… not helping either side, and not saying anything, just pretending he didn't see anything!

Ignoring it completely—that should be fair and impartial enough, right?

The other geniuses were even more dumbfounded—Lin Chen… was slapped again…

Chi Xue thought to herself: “Brother Xu Ming is still as simple and direct as he was in the Flying Cloud Kingdom…”

Who was Xu Ming?

He was the “Slap God”!

If the Slap God didn't make a move, everyone might have forgotten about that palm that shook the world!

Lin Chen provoked him again and again, but Xu Ming ignored him. Was it because he was afraid of him?—How could that be!

Our Ming Bro just didn't bother to lower himself to the level of some stray cat or dog!

However, this stray cat or dog was getting out of hand; at this moment, Ming Bro really couldn't bear it anymore!—Since you insist on getting slapped, then fine, the Slap God will grant your wish!

“You…” Lin Chen was filled with shame and indignation, “You dare to slap me!?”

*Slap!* !!

Xu Ming didn't say a word, directly raising his hand for another slap—since he had already started, there was no need to be reserved! This series of slaps would definitely leave Lin Chen feeling comfortable and submissive!

Hmph! The Slap God isn't making a move, so you think I'm a sick cat?

“You slapped me again!?” Lin Chen was shocked and angry.

*Slap!* !!

Xu Ming still didn't say a word—slaps were the Slap God's best language!

“Try slapping me one more time!!” Lin Chen was about to be driven mad—from a young age, he had been treated like a treasure, how could he have ever suffered such humiliation?

“Oh ho!?” This time, Xu Ming finally couldn't help but speak, “You have some backbone!!”

And the consequence of flaunting backbone in front of the Slap God was…

*Slap slap slap slap slap slap slap…*

A series of crisp slaps, delivered with a great sense of rhythm. Even Xu Ming couldn't tell how many slaps he had delivered; however, the number of slaps wasn't important, as long as they sounded good and had rhythm, that was enough!

“Want to try again?” Xu Ming retracted his hand, said.

If Lin Chen dared to continue showing backbone, then Xu Ming planned to play a tune of “East Wind Breaks” with his slaps.

“You…” Lin Chen felt very wronged, “Why did you slap me?”

Did the Slap God need a reason to slap?

Obviously not!—Just on a whim, slap whenever you want!

Just now, Xu Ming had become interested.

“Aren't you capable of passing the sixth level of the Tower of Heaven?”

“Isn't your comprehension of the Heavenly Way very high?”

“Aren't your future achievements extraordinary?”

“Aren't you awesome?”

Xu Ming sneered disdainfully: “Then now, I've slapped you, if you have the ability, slap me back!”

Lin Chen really wanted to slap him back…

However… he still had some self-awareness! From the slaps just now, he clearly felt the difference in strength between himself and Xu Ming.

Lin Chen was very clear—he didn't have the ability to slap him back.

“Hmph!” Xu Ming snorted coldly, “Since you don't have the ability, next time, be more obedient! If you keep whining like this, I won't be so merciful!”

Merciful?

Lin Chen used his mental power to sense his face—he was very sure that his face had been slapped to the point where even his mother wouldn't recognize him!

And that's called merciful?

“Alright, alright!” At this time, Zhan Wuwei jumped out to smooth things over, “You are all elites of the human race, let's stop with the small squabbles, don't hurt the harmony!”

“……” Lin Chen only wanted to cry—Elder Zhan Wuwei, why didn't you stand up earlier to uphold justice? You only come out to smooth things over after the beating is over, what's the meaning of this…

However, even if Lin Chen had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to question Zhan Wuwei like this, he could only swallow his bitterness.

“Hmm… This time, my handling of the dispute between disciples should be considered fair and impartial!” Zhan Wuwei secretly praised himself with satisfaction.

But in reality…

Zhan Wuwei was biased towards Xu Ming in his heart.

After all, who told Lin Chen to keep chirping and jumping around there! Even Zhan Wuwei was annoyed!

Therefore, in Zhan Wuwei's view, Xu Ming's outburst was reasonable!

“The Tower of Heaven challenge assessment is held every fifty years. The next one will be in ten years!” Zhan Wuwei changed the subject, “Besides the assessment, you can usually enter the Tower of Heaven for trials. As for the specifics of how to train, the Tower Spirit will tell you!”

Zhan Wuwei then led the assembled geniuses to familiarize themselves with other places.

“This is the Divine Scripture Pavilion…”

Zhan Wuwei said, pointing to an ancient pavilion filled with scholarly atmosphere.

After walking some distance.

“This is the Heavenly Arena Battle Stage. A ranking battle will be held every fifty years! Disciples with higher rankings will receive very important rewards!” Zhan Wuwei said, pointing to a martial arts arena.

Very important rewards?

Xu Ming was a little curious—what exactly was it that Zhan Wuwei used “very important” to describe.

“However…” Zhan Wuwei added, “The next ranking battle has nothing to do with you! At that time, you just need to watch the show!”

Nothing to do with them?

“Why?” The assembled geniuses couldn't help but ask.

“Because the next ranking battle will be held in five years!” Zhan Wuwei explained, “In just five years, you won't be able to improve much in strength at all, what will you use to compete with those old disciples who have cultivated for hundreds of years?”

The Dao Fate Battle is held every fifty years; and the geniuses who emerge victorious from the Dao Fate Battle can stay in the Divine Kingdom for a thousand years—what does this mean?

It means that many of the geniuses who emerged victorious from the previous nineteen Dao Fate Battles are still in the Divine Kingdom!

Those geniuses have already cultivated in the Divine Kingdom for hundreds of years! Just as Zhan Wuwei said—what will this new batch of you use to compete for rankings with them?

“There are still five years!” Many geniuses were unconvinced in their hearts, and clenched their fists secretly, their fighting spirit burning.

“I am a 'Ten Thousand Year Class' genius! I will definitely be able to fight for a good ranking!” Lin Chen said, his face flushed red, gritting his teeth secretly—his face had been reddened by Xu Ming's slaps earlier.

Zhan Wuwei didn't say anything when he saw this.

After all, it was a good thing for young people to have fighting spirit. Anyway, after five years, they would recognize reality.

“The ranking battle in five years?” Xu Ming was slightly interested.

Five years, for Xu Ming, was already enough time to improve a lot!
