INVINCIBLE STARTING FROM MAX LEVEL ATTRIBUTES

Chapter 839: Chapter 855: Overwhelming Taoist Details

Behind Yuan Hao, a little girl with somewhat of a baby face, also at the Divine Transformation Stage of cultivation, looked at Yang Zhen timidly, her eyes full of curiosity.

When she saw Yuan Hao step forward, a glint of curiosity flashed across the little girl’s eyes, as if she was comparing Yang Zhen to Yuan Hao.

After comparing back and forth, with no clear understanding of how she was comparing them, the girl’s gaze eventually settled on Yuan Hao, and her chubby baby face was filled with admiration.

Yuan Hao glanced sideways at the little girl’s expression, his face showing even more arrogance, and said with a smile, “The master’s teaching is true, but the courage to break through legends has always been the biggest motivation for Yuan Hao. Now that I have met Senior Yang Zhen, I can’t help but feel a bit excited, I must be making Senior Yang Zhen laugh.”

Yang Zhen… Senior?

Hearing this, Yang Zhen looked at Yuan Hao in confusion, this guy was only two, maybe three years younger than him, and he was calling him a senior? So, in Yuan Hao’s eyes, was Yang Zhen already outdated?

…

What a sharp-tongued fellow indeed.

But who is Yang Zhen?

He had never lost a verbal battle.

Watching a group of old men and women with amused expressions on their faces, Yang Zhen grinned, walked up to Yuan Hao, patted his shoulder twice with a smack that made Yuan Hao grimace and turn red in the face, before Yang Zhen spoke up, “Such a promising youth, yes, promising indeed. You young folks, always like the new waves striking the old waves in the sea, constantly waving and eventually dying on the beach. If you listen more to your master’s teachings on normal days, you might save us seniors a bit of worry.”

The crowd listened in confusion, even the teacher nearly burst out with an old face turning red and twitching, barely able to suppress a laugh.

The onlookers, who had already formed a large circle, did not have so many reservations and burst into laughter, creating a spectacular scene with a buzz of voices.

“Yang Zhen’s mouth really is venomous, just look at Yuan Hao’s face, it’s as if he’s eaten a pound of dead rats.”

“Who’s to blame? He brought it upon himself. Yang Zhen was conversing with several old seniors when he suddenly popped up, what was that about?”

“Now Yuan Hao has definitely lost a generation. He wanted to mock Yang Zhen, but with just a few words, Yang Zhen turned the tables on him.”

“Shh, keep your voices down. I’ve heard that Yuan Hao is a prodigy in the East Sea that appears once in a millennium, having reached the Divine Transformation Stage in just over a year, and he’s on the verge of breaking through to the Circulation Phase. Plus, he has comprehended a dao, said to be the inheritance of a great emperor from the East Sea, and has come to challenge the debate over the dao with Central Emperor.”

“What? He inherited the dao of a great emperor? That’s… terrifying, if Yang Zhen has offended someone like that, he probably won’t have a good end.”

“That’s not necessarily true. Although we don’t know what dao Yang Zhen has comprehended, there’s no doubt about his strength. If it’s not a debate but a matter of strength, Yuan Hao might not necessarily be able to beat Yang Zhen.”

The surrounding people talked amongst themselves; these practitioners were mostly talents from various continents of the cultivation world and didn’t care much about a mere prodigy from the East Sea, just wary of the rumored dao of the great emperor’s inheritance!

However, hearing the surrounding discussions, Yuan Hao’s face finally smoothed out a bit, and he laughed out loud, saying to Yang Zhen, “Yang Zhen, the legends of the past are long gone. Now, as the spirit qi revives, the Heaven and Earth present endless variables, and the appearance of the Western Region Demon God Territory brings unprecedented opportunities to the entire cultivation world. The time ahead is the era of daos reigning supreme, transient cultivation means nothing.”

At this point, Yuan Hao glanced at his own master, a playful look crossing his face, turned around and said to Yang Zhen, “Would you dare to debate the dao with me?”

Hearing this, everyone around gasped in unison, looking at Yuan Hao in shock.

“My goodness, Yuan Hao has issued a challenge to Yang Zhen!”

“It seems Yuan Hao has great confidence in his own dao. Of course, the great emperor’s dao wouldn’t put Yang Zhen in his sight. I wonder if Yang Zhen will accept this debate challenge.”

“He should accept, right? Who is Yang Zhen? He doesn’t seem to have ever been afraid of any challenge,”

Everyone was shocked, not expecting Yang Zhen and Yuan Hao to be at odds as soon as they met. Now, Yang Zhen and Yuan Hao were already the representatives of the younger generation, and there were all kinds of legends about Yang Zhen.

If Yuan Hao could crush Yang Zhen underfoot in a debate on Tiaoist comprehension, Yuan Hao’s fame was almost certain to resonate throughout the Western Region and even the entire world of cultivation.

All eyes were on Yang Zhen, and many looked towards the teacher as well, after all, Yuan Hao and the others had been brought by the teacher. Yuan Hao’s disrespect was already making it difficult for the teacher to save face.

As expected, the teacher’s expression turned somewhat unsightly, and he glanced at Yuan Hao with furrowed brows. Then his expression calmed and with a hint of a smile, he took half a step back, clearly leaving the decision up to Yang Zhen.

The old crone, seeing this scene, had a flash of doubt cross her face, deeply looked at Yang Zhen, and gave a light cough.

At that moment, the girl with the baby face next to Yuan Hao, showing an unfazed expression, gracefully walked up to him and said softly,

“Why must Senior Brother Yuan force others to do what they don’t want to do? As everyone knows, Yang Zhen’s cultivation talent is not bad, but how could his comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Tiaoist compare to the Emperor of the East Sea?”

Hearing the girl’s words, the crowd simultaneously gasped and looked at the teacher with weird expressions on their faces.

In the entire world of cultivation, there were no grudges without a reason. These people targeted Yang Zhen as soon as they arrived—could there be some deep hatred with Yang Zhen?

Yet, looking at Yang Zhen’s clueless expression and the old crone, as well as the composed look on Yuan Hao’s face, it didn’t seem like there was a significant grudge. The crowd was left with a feeling of being tongue-tied by the development of events.

Yang Zhen looked curiously at the young woman and asked in surprise, “Miss, may I ask your honorable surname?”

“You!”

A flicker of anger crossed the face of the young woman with the unfazed expression as she stared at Yang Zhen and said, “The legendary figure of the East Sea is actually just someone so sharp-tongued?”

Yang Zhen laughed heartily, looking at the two with a playful expression, and said, “The legendary figure of the East Sea? I was just questioning what kind of trick you idiots were playing. Now I finally understand!”

Yuan Hao’s expression darkened as he stared at Yang Zhen and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. A debate is just a debate, if you dare, you dare; if you don’t, you don’t. Where are there so many excuses?”

Yang Zhen stepped towards Yuan Hao, squinting his eyes and said, “Kid, one steps out the path one step at a time; you can’t just soar to the skies by stepping on others’ shoulders. Didn’t your elders tell you that the higher you fly, the harder the fall?”

“What are you talking abou—”

Buzz!

A barely discernible trace of Tiaoist details flashed past Yang Zhen suddenly, like a refreshing breeze. Everyone just felt a comfortable sensation as if basking in the spring wind, but Yuan Hao’s complexion instantly became pale as he spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood and staggered back several steps before barely stabilizing himself.

“No… impossible, what is this?”

Yuan Hao looked like a salted fish that had been drained of water, staring at Yang Zhen with a face full of horror and shock.

Yang Zhen blinked, slowly walked past Yuan Hao, and whispered in his ear, “Guess?”
