"It's very simple. I have a Spatial Top here that can determine the stability of space, as well as one's understanding of space. Whoever can make this top stand for the longest time will have a deeper understanding of space!"
With a light smile, Nangong Yuanfeng tapped his finger forward, and a foot-long spinning top appeared before the crowd. It landed on the elevated platform, not moving in the slightest. Even though the spinning top did not release any power, many tiny spatial cracks had appeared around it.
The presence of such a crack meant that the surrounding space was unstable. If he wanted to stand up, he would have to stabilize the surrounding space, or rather, mend the cracks.
Even though it was the simplest of them all, it still involved the fourth level of the Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel, Creation.
"This …"
Luo Ganzhen also noticed this, and his complexion immediately darkened.
The other party made it sound easy, but it was actually extremely difficult.
Even though they, the disciples of the Luo Family, possessed great comprehension of spatial laws and possessed special talent, it was still not that easy for them to accomplish this feat.
"Mo-er, come up here and demonstrate to the experts of the Luo Clan!"
Seeing Nangong Yuanfeng's expression, Nangong Yuanfeng didn't say a word.
"Yes …"
The young man named Mo 'er looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His body flickered as he strode out from the crowd. Radiating an unbridled air, he walked over to the Spatial Top and made a grasping motion.
Buzz!
The air rumbled as strands of unique spatial power extended straight towards the spinning top.
The shattered space around the spinning top was instantly repaired. The thing that had fallen to the ground gradually stood up. However, in less than three seconds, it swayed again and fell to the ground again.
Hu!
After doing all of that, Mo 'er's forehead was beaded with sweat. Panting a few times, he clasped hands and retreated back into the crowd.
"I just have to make the spinning top stand like that. Mo-er is the weakest among my juniors, so it's a little difficult for me to do it. Please forgive me for making a fool of myself …"
Nangong Yuanfeng chuckled softly. "Clan Head Luo, let's begin!"
Luo Ganzhen's face was ashen.
It was obvious that the other party was the general.
First, he would let his own people test it in front of so many people. Then, he would challenge the Luo Clan's people. Even if they did not want to, they had no choice but to do so.
"Patriarch, let me give it a try!"
A middle-aged man who went up the stage earlier cupped his fists and said.
"Thank you, Elder Luo Fu!"
Luo Ganzhen nodded.
"En!"
Elder Luo Fu didn't say anything. He took a step forward, took a deep breath, and raised his eyebrows. Then, just like Mo 'er, he made a grasping motion.
Buzz!
The space around the spinning top also rang. The thing swayed like a drunkard, but in the end, it did not stand up.
Sweat trickled down Elder Luo Fu's forehead, and after enduring for a moment, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and retreated several steps, his face as pale as a sheet.
"I'm sorry, Patriarch …"
Elder Luo Fu's body swayed uncontrollably as a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
He had thought that it would be easy for a young man in his twenties to accomplish such a feat. Who could have thought that even after using his full strength, he would still be unable to succeed? It was no wonder those from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers had come to challenge him.
"Let me try!"
The second elder also rushed forward, and a moment later, he also spurted a mouthful of blood. Just like Elder Luo Fu, he was unable to get the spinning top to stand up.
If one didn't personally experience it, one would think that this thing was simple. Only after truly using Spatial Force did one realize that this small top was even heavier than a mountain. If one's understanding of Spatial Force wasn't high enough, let alone standing up, even moving would be difficult.
Seeing that two of his clansmen had failed simultaneously, Luo Ganzhen's complexion turned even more awful.
The other party had intended to take away the Celestial Amulet of Legacy of their Luo Clan. Under normal circumstances, given that the predecessors of the Luo Clan had gone to great lengths to find it, it would have been impossible for them to give it away. However, the other party had taken out the Ancient Sage Token left behind by the Hundred Schools of Philosophers and the rules set by Kong Shi. Left with no choice, they had no choice but to accept the challenge.
They had thought that even if none of their clansmen had comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing, with their comprehension of Spatial Force, it would not be too difficult for them to remain undefeated. Who could have thought that they would lose so easily?
This was simply too frightening!
"Clan Head Luo, is there anyone else who can get the spinning top to stand up? If there isn't, it would be impolite of us to turn you down, "Nangong Yuanfeng said with a smile as he stroked his beard.
"Wait a moment!"
Before Nangong Yuanfeng could finish his words, a bellow sounded. Luo Xuanqing took a step forward and said, "This artifact is yours. Who knows if you have tampered with it so that our clansmen won't be able to complete it? To put it bluntly, the comprehension of Spatial Force should be used in battle for it to be of greatest use! This way, we'll have you duel with us of the same cultivation realm. If you can defeat us, it'll be your victory. If you can't do it, it'll just be a sham! "
"You mean a duel?" Nangong Yuanfeng asked.
"That's right!"
Luo Xuanqing nodded.
The purpose of controlling space was to raise one's cultivation and fighting prowess. If one could do the talking with one's fists, there was no need to go through so much trouble just to get the spinning top!
"Since you're so confident, our Hundred Schools of Philosophers will gladly accompany you!"
Nangong Yuanfeng chuckled confidently.
The Hundred Schools of Philosophers had inherited their heritage from Kong Shi, and their lineage had never been severed. On top of that, these juniors of theirs were all students of the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism. The one thing they feared the least was battle. To challenge them to a duel … was no different from courting death.
"Clan Head Luo, does his words count?"
Nangong Yuanfeng asked.
"Of course!"
Luo Ganzhen nodded.
From the looks of it, even he might not be able to get the spinning top to stand up, putting aside the clansmen under a hundred years of age. Rather than waiting to lose, he might as well have a duel.
Perhaps, he might just stand a chance.
"Since that's the case, Mo-er, go ahead!"
Nangong Yuanfeng nodded. "Mo-er has sustained some damage from driving the Spatial Top earlier, but I believe that it shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to compete with your juniors!"
Hearing those words, Luo Ganzhen's face nearly fell to the floor. He was so furious that he could explode.
This was blatant disdain!
He had just been humiliated by the Zhang clan once, and now, the Hundred Schools of Philosophers had come over to slap him once more … Was the heavens fated to see the decline of the Luo Clan?
"Come, let me see what you've got!"
Luo Xuanqing roared furiously as he walked up to the center of the dueling ring.
"Hehe!"
The young man known as Mo-er chuckled softly as he walked up to Luo Xuanqing. "You are a Saint 8-dan Dimension Sundering realm primary stage cultivator, so I won't take advantage of you. I'll suppress my cultivation to the same level as you!"
Huala!
As soon as those words were spoken, the young man's cultivation swiftly plummeted, and in the blink of an eye, he was already at the same level as Luo Xuanqing.
"Let's begin!"
Seeing that the young man had suppressed his cultivation, Luo Xuanqing raised his palm and sent it toward him.
Kacha!
A deafening rumble echoed in the air as a powerful burst of zhenqi burst forth.
Compared to when he had taught Zhang Xuan a lesson in the Sanctum of Sages, his cultivation had improved significantly. Even though he had not achieved a breakthrough, he was already not too far away from Dimension Sundering realm intermediate stage.
