Chapter 5364

“Fellow Daoist Chen, since you possess real talent and knowledge, you should let the entire Divine Nation know your strength so that everyone can be convinced.”

Wu Hao pondered and said, “Ziyuan, take Fellow Daoist Chen to the martial arts arena and have the commander of the Imperial Guards arrange a sparring match so that Fellow Daoist Chen can become familiar with the combat power of the Divine Kingdom.”

Zi Yuan nodded upon hearing this and made a “please” gesture to Kai: “Fellow Daoist Chen, please follow me. The Divine Kingdom’s Imperial Guards are one of the top combat forces in the Sixth Heaven, and the martial arts arena gathers the Divine Kingdom’s most elite cultivators.”

Kai did not refuse, as he also wanted to find out the true strength of the Kingdom of God.

The premise of cooperation is equality. If all the people in the Kingdom of God are like Wei Feng, who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, this cooperation will probably be difficult to be effective.

The two left the palace and walked towards the martial arts field on the west side of the Divine Capital.

The divine cultivators along the way saw Zi Yuan’s respectful attitude towards Kai, and recalled the rumor that Kai had broken Wei Feng’s arm in the academy. They looked at Kai with a little more awe, and no longer had the contempt they had before.

The Divine Kingdom’s martial arts arena was far grander than Kai had imagined. The entire venue was paved with black black iron stone, and the ground was engraved with impact-absorbing formation patterns. Dozens of stone pillars engraved with divine patterns stood on the edge, and a crystal ball used to record battle records was suspended on the top of each stone pillar.

At this moment, hundreds of imperial guards in silver armor were training in the training grounds. Golden spiritual energy crisscrossed and the shouts of killing were deafening.

“That is the commander of the Imperial Guards, Ao Lie.”

Zi Yuan pointed to a burly man in the center of the martial arts arena and introduced him in a low voice, “He’s a hybrid of the Dragon and God races, with a cultivation base at the peak of the eighth rank in the Earthly Immortal Realm. His wielding of the ‘Sky-Splitting Spear’ is incredibly skilled, and he ranks tenth on the Divine Nation’s Martial Arts Ranking.”

“Dragon clan?” Kai was a little surprised. He followed Zi Yuan’s gaze and saw that Ao Lie was more than eight feet tall, with long green hair tied behind his head, a firm face, and a cold aura emanating from his body.

He was holding a silver spear about ten feet long, directing the imperial guards in their training. The tip of the spear would occasionally pass through the void, tearing the air and making a sharp explosion.

Ao Lie noticed the gazes of the two people and turned around. When his eyes fell on Kai, his brows immediately frowned.

The cultivator in front of him was only a first-grade Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him were also ordinary. It was really hard to see what was so special about him that he could be accompanied by Zi Yuan’s staff in person.

“Master Ziyuan, who is this?”

Ao Lie put away his silver spear and strode over with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

In his opinion, those who could catch Zi Yuan’s eye should at least be cultivators of the eighth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm. A “low-level cultivator” like Kai was not worthy of appearing in the martial arts arena at all.

“Commander Ao, this is Fellow Daoist Kai, a distinguished guest invited by the king.”

Zi Yuan’s tone was calm, yet filled with unquestionable authority. “The King has instructed you to arrange a sparring match so that Fellow Daoist Chen can witness the strength of the Imperial Guards.”

Upon hearing this, Ao Lie’s face showed obvious disdain. He looked Kai up and down and sneered, “Lord Ziyuan, you are serious, right? You want me to spar with a cultivator of the first rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm? If this gets out, wouldn’t everyone laugh at me? The Divine Kingdom’s Imperial Guards can’t afford to lose face like this!”

The imperial guards who were training around also looked sideways, and after seeing Kai’s realm, they couldn’t help laughing, and discussions broke out one after another.

“The commander is right. Is a first-grade Earth Immortal worthy enough to spar with the commander? I’m afraid he’ll be killed instantly in one move!”

“I think he’s here to join in the fun. Maybe he got some backdoor and was brought here by Lady Ziyuan.”

“I can beat ten of these guys with one hand!”

Kai remained expressionless, as if he hadn’t heard the ridicule.

He knew very well that in this world where strength was respected, verbal disputes were meaningless and only fists could silence people.
