Chu Mo looked intently at the fighting shadow of the Jin Wu Emperor and commented: "Senior, I assume you didn't offer Samadhi Real Fire as a reward to give it to a shameless person, did you?"
Jin Wu Emperor's eyes sparkled, followed by a hearty laugh: "Well said! Today, you can fight freely with me. If you lose, I will gift you another Samadhi Real Fire!"
Then, without wasting any further words, Jin Wu Emperor and Chu Mo began to battle fiercely.
Although Chu Mo had stated that he would give Jin Wu Emperor thirty moves to familiarize himself with the Understanding Heart Realm, in reality, Jin Wu Emperor was adept with the realm's power merely after ten moves.
"I never thought that this low-level realm could be quite interesting..." Jin Wu Emperor was fighting while speaking with intrigue.
Chu Mo laughed lightly, his eyes filled with confidence.
He rushed into using the Phantom Wind Step, and started to perform the Man Fist of the Three Talents Boxing Technique.
Although it appeared to be a single move, in reality, each of the three moves of the Three Talents Boxing Technique could vary indefinitely.
His performance in the fight against Jin Wu Emperor was par for the course!
"Young man, do you know why even ascended cultivators dare not challenge me easily?" Jin Wu Emperor questioned whilst blocking a punch from Chu Mo.
"Why is that?" Chu Mo moved around Jin Wu Emperor's body, darting forward and back, left and right, looking for an opening.
"Because even the ascended cultivators will be crushed in my presence!" Jin Wu Emperor was also looking for Chu Mo's weakness as he replied lightly, "After I offered Samadhi Real Fire as a reward, three cultivators in the Mahayana realm, on the pretext of entering Earth, secretly came to challenge me. Can you guess the result?"
"Huh?" Chu Mo was a little stunned. He almost got hit in the chest by Jin Wu Emperor's palm, which left him rattled, and he muttered, "That was close!"
"In a battle, if you can't keep your mind focused, it's better not to speak," Jin Wu Emperor commented dryly, followed by a faint smile, "Those three cultivators in the Mahayana realm were all suppressed by me within thirty moves!"
"A cultivator of the Mahayana realm... it's a much higher realm than the Greater Vehicle period, right?" Chu Mo was taken by surprise.
"Hmph, what about the Mahayana realm? What about heavenly and true immortals?" Jin Wu Emperor sneered, "As long as one finds the opponent's weakness, it only takes one strike to achieve victory!"
"But..." evading an attack by Jin Wu Emperor, Chu Mo spoke, "Doesn't the difference in realms mean anything?"
"Of course it does," Jin Wu Emperor replied, "The higher the realm, the fewer the weaknesses. Moreover, even if you find one, it's highly likely that the opponent wanted you to find it. Or, even if it's really a weakness, by the time you strike, that weakness will be gone!"
"..." Chu Mo grumbled, maneuvering the Phantom Wind Step again, trying to make a strike at Jin Wu Emperor's weakness and missed, he said wryly, "Is it just like this?"
"Haha, exactly!" Jin Wu Emperor laughed, "Therefore, in order to win against a stronger opponent, one needs sharp observation and the courage to risk one's life! A seven or eight-year-old child, attempting to attack a robust adult, has only one chance because once discovered, the child will always be at a disadvantage."
"So, before being discovered, would I have to stab the opponent?" Chu Mo questioned.
"Wrong, it's the opponent's weak point," corrected Jin Wu Emperor, simultaneously striking at Chu Mo's heart, "just like this!"
Chu Mo's eyes widened in alarm. His entire focus had reached an unprecedented level. He shouted defiantly: "You've fallen for it!"
Whoosh!
An extremely brilliant and dazzling light suddenly lit up over the empty plain.
Jin Wu Emperor yelled out an alarm, "Not good..."
The hand that was aimed at Chu Mo's heart was too late to be withdrawn.
It seemed that Chu Mo's strike would sever him in half before his palm could reach Chu Mo's heart—not bad for Jin Wu Emperor!
Even if his realm had been suppressed to the middle stage of the Understanding Heart Realm, his inherent talent still shone brightly.
At the moment when the fight was almost over, Jin Wu Emperor twisted his body into an unbelievable angle to dodge.
Crack!
Unbelievably, he had twisted and broken his own thigh!
Although he was only a fighting shadow, Jin Wu Emperor had left a part of his spirit in it. Thus, his fighting shadow could feel pain similar to his true form. Even more, his suffering was felt by the true Jin Wu Emperor, a formidable emperor who had become a world deity!
How much pain must it have caused to twist and break one's thigh? And yet, Jin Wu Emperor didn't utter a sound!
Chu Mo's Soul Seizure strike, went straight past Jin Wu Emperor's body, missing its target!
Then, the intact leg of Jin Wu Emperor kicked Chu Mo, sending his body flying.
Mid-air, Chu Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at Jin Wu Emperor in amazement.
On the side, the one-legged Jin Wu Emperor was standing tall, looking back at Chu Mo, his gaze filled with complexity.
"I have lost!" a fleeting sense of loss crossed Jin Wu Emperor's face, which was then replaced by a look of relief.
Seeing that Chu Mo wanted to say something, Jin Wu Emperor gestured for him to stop, smiling: "Don't worry, I'm not that petty. A loss is a loss. I just didn't think I'd lose to a young man like you. However, your emergence has finally proven that there are still geniuses in this world!"
"..." Chu Mo twitched at the corner of his mouth, looking at Jin Wu Emperor, he thought to himself: His pride is a bit too much.
"Do you think I'm arrogant?" As if seeing what Chu Mo was thinking, in a calm voice, Jin Wu Emperor said, "Do you know why I left part of my soul insight in this shadow? And why did I offer a Samadhi Real Fire as a reward?"
"I don't know," Chu Mo shook his head.
"Back then, I left a trace of my consciousness in this combat shadow to see how many talents there are in this world who have surpassed me." Jin Wu Emperor stated lightly, "Because I'm certain that as long as I'm top-ranked in the Human Layer's strength list, there will always be people challenging me!"
"And the result?" Chu Mo asked.
"The result was a bit disappointing. I haven't encountered anyone more talented than me in this world before you." Jin Wu Emperor had already lifted his seal and healed his leg injury in a blink at this time.
Thus, when he said these words, there was an unrivaled aura about him. This left Chu Mo somewhat dazed.
