Chapter 950: I have practiced for 30 years, and I’ll now proceed to oppress this noob that has practiced for only 3 months

“Little friend, you have a good eye. This ‘Palace of Winter’ is indeed a portion of the ancient Heavenly City.” A firm voice echoed from within the palace as the owner stepped out.

The voice belonged to a dignified middle-aged man wearing a plain daoist robe. He carried a long sword on his back and held a fly-whisk in his hand. He looked like an expert that had left behind the mundane world, someone that had reached enlightenment.

Song Shuhang looked at the middle-aged man and managed to determine his strength with just one glance—Second Stage Realm. To be more precise, Second Stage Fifth Dantian ‘Dragon Palm Dantian’ Realm. The great river of true qi of the middle-aged man had only condensed up to the ‘Dragon Palm Dantian’.

His realm was slightly higher than that of the Western monk, and was the same as that of ‘Altar Master’ back in the day.

Am I mistaken? Or does this daoist priest really have the strength of the Second Stage Realm? Song Shuhang thought to himself.

This daoist priest looked a little too weak for the master of this palace located in the forbidden area… Was it possible that his realm seemed so low because he was suppressing his strength?

[I also took a look, and the opposite party indeed seems to have the strength of the Second Stage Fifth Dantian Realm. Perhaps they are really purposely suppressing their aura and realm…] Ye Si remarked in Song Shuhang’s mind.

“I’m the current palace master of the ‘Palace of Cold Winter’, Cold Gleam. May I know the names of these two fellow daoists?” Cold Gleam greeted Song Shuhang and Venerable White.

No one was going to strike a smiling face. As such, Senior White also refrained from taking action.

“My name is White, and you can call me Venerable White if you want,” Senior White replied.

Venerable? Whom are you trying to deceive?! If a Venerable can really slaughter his way to the Palace of Winter, I’ll cut off my head and allow you to play soccer with it!The corner of Cold Gleam’s mouth twitched. However, he still forced out a smile, and said, “h.e.l.lo, Fellow Daoist White.”

Song Shuhang likewise replied, “Fellow Daoist, you can call me [Scholar Mountain of Books].”

Senior White turned his head, and asked curiously, “Eh? Wasn’t your daoist name ‘Tyrannical Saber Song One’?”

“Yes, but it’s Friday today,” Song Shuhang replied in all seriousness.

“Oh.” Senior White was baffled, but still nodded.

“…” Cold Gleam. What is the relations.h.i.+p between your name and the days of the week…?

Cold Gleam tried his best to make his smile look natural. “Fellow Daoist Scholar Mountain of Books, you seem very young. How long has it been since you started cultivating?”

Song Shuhang was somewhat confused. Why was the opposite party asking him this question?

“Fellow Daoist, no need to worry. It was just a random question. You don’t have to reply if you don’t want,” Cold Gleam said with a smile.

“It’s not really a secret or anything,” Senior White said with a smile at this time. “Little friend Shuhang, you can reply to this question of Fellow Daoist Cold Gleam.”

Song Shuhang replied, “It hasn’t been long since I’ve started cultivating. I came in contact with the world of cultivators only three months ago, starting to cultivate around that time.”

“Three months?” Cold Gleam was dumbfounded and looked at Song Shuhang skeptically.

“It’s been three months altogether, but I’ve had a fortuitous encounter in the past and stayed in a time-related secret realm for some time. If that portion of time is also taken into consideration, it’s been four months since I’ve started cultivating,” Song Shuhang said.

“Fellow Daoist, your luck is really good.” Cold Gleam laughed.

Then, he took off his plain daoist robe, and revealed a set of battle armor beneath. “Palace of Cold Winter, I want to activate the 1vs1 battle arena feature and appoint this guy called ‘Scholar Mountain of Books’ as the challenger. d.a.m.n, I’ve practiced for 30 years, and I’m already at the Second Stage Fifth Dantian Realm. Beating this noob that has practiced for only three months will be a piece of cake!”

“…” Song Shuhang.

“…” Senior White.

“…” Ye Si.

Was this a case where the ‘plot got finally revealed’? Had Daoist Priest Cold Gleam asked Song Shuhang and Senior White those questions so that he could secretly collect information? Then, as he discovered that Song Shuhang had started cultivating only three months ago, he happily dragged him into this ‘1vs1 battle arena’ to beat him up.

But why did he want to beat up Song Shuhang? Even if he beat up Song Shuhang, there was still Senior White. Was he planning to fight Senior White as well?

“If you don’t seek death, you won’t die… Why are so many people unable to understand this simple concept?” Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

While speaking, he felt his body becoming lighter and getting dragged to a battle arena.
