Sparring

"As expected of a powerful being who has become a god through rules. I had heard before that the Death Rule and Destruction Rule were the two strongest rules in terms of material attacks, but I was not quite sure I would agree. But seeing them today, I can see that they are indeed extraordinary!"

"I am, after all, an assassin. In pure hand-to-hand combat, I am far inferior to you. Without using weapons to fully demonstrate my Way of Assassination, I'm afraid we can't have a normal spar today."

Without waiting for Fengyun's reply, Cesar transformed into more than ten Phantom, hovering around Fengyun and flying in all directions, searching for a fatal blow. His demeanor was no longer as carefree and unrestrained as before.

He's serious now!

There's no way around it, I have to take it seriously!

Once is never enough. He's going to use all his skills this time, and if he still can't succeed, he'll be utterly disgraced.

He was too ashamed to greet other God Level Expert after that.

Fengyun's expression didn't change much upon seeing this, because he had already gained a full understanding of the power of his Divine Artifact Clone after their two previous exchanges.

In terms of the laws, his understanding of the Light and Dark Elements is not deep enough. He only reached the standard of becoming a god because of the fusion of the laws. Therefore, he and Cesar, who had just become a god, were about the same in terms of understanding the laws.

However, in terms of divine power, the difference between the two is enormous!

The Fusion Divine Power of Fengyun divine power directly boosted his basic strength to 10 times that of a normal God Level Expert.

During their first encounter, Fengyun, having never fought against God Level Expert before, was worried that he would reveal his true strength in the first exchange. Therefore, he went all out to try and maintain his composure.

But he hadn't expected to overextend himself, slamming Cesar into the ground. If he hadn't held back at the last moment because he was worried about forcing out Cesar's God's Domain, Cesar would probably have been seriously injured or even killed as soon as they started fighting.

In their second encounter, Fengyun held back half of his strength, while Cesar went all out, but the gap was still too large!

Having made a fool of himself once again, Cesar was forced to even draw his weapon. To prevent Cesar from using up all of his God's Domain, Fengyun, having regained his senses, immediately began to suppress his own strength without saying a word.

After suppressing his own strength to about 20% of his true power based on his experience fighting Cesar, Fengyun's battle with Cesar, who was going all out, finally returned to normal.

However, his period of relative calm didn't last long, as Cesar quickly found himself at a disadvantage again. Even when fighting fist to fist, the fist, imbued with the Fusion Divine Power wind, Fengyun, light, and darkness, was no weaker than Cesar's dagger, which was infused with divine power...

Yes, much better!

This is also thanks to Fengyun's Divine Artifact Clone. The artifact's main body serves as a divine entity, unlike Heimus and Earth King Lei Hong, whose main bodies are divine bodies. The divine body, like a normal Divine Clone, is a condensation of divine power.

Otherwise, with the divine power of the Light-Shadow Orb, Cesar's dagger would probably be smashed after only a few hits.

The two fought fiercely for a while, turning up three feet of sand around them, before Cesar finally managed to escape the battle.

He touched his dagger with slight heartache; some small cracks and damage had already appeared on it. This was only because Fengyun had held back; otherwise, at full strength, let alone Cesar's dagger, Cesar herself would have inevitably been knocked away like before, or even...

Blow it up!

After reluctantly sheathing the dagger, Cesar sighed again, "Fengyun, tell me the truth, were you holding back just now?"

After a moment of silence, Fengyun nodded. Cesar wasn't stupid; even if he said he hadn't held back, Xi Sai certainly wouldn't believe him. It was better to just admit it outright.

He just wanted Cesar to get lost quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome if he really pushed him to the limit and used the God's Domain.

He was truly uncertain about facing the God's Domain Fengyun, and in fact, he wouldn't mind losing, but he was worried that it would expose the fact that he didn't have the God's Domain.

After all, he became a god, but without God's Domain, it would be easy for the secret of his Divine Artifact Clone to be exposed.

But things often don't go according to human will. Even though Cesar himself was lazy, he was in his prime as a newly ascended god.

Now, fighting against Fengyun, a newly ascended God Level Expert, in his view, has only been a god for a few years, has resulted in repeated setbacks, making him lose face.

Therefore, he said without any hesitation, "Becoming a god through rules, or even through the Death Rule, is indeed extraordinary. You just became a god a few years later than me, but your strength is far beyond mine!"

"Um, cough cough~, how about I use the God's Domain next, and you don't have to use it?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to see how big the gap is between a god like me who became a Deity Level through laws and a guy like you who became a god through rules. Clearly, even a Martial War God can fight a High Priest to a draw, they're both Deity Level, so why am I so much weaker than War God?"

Although Cesar's personality was somewhat laid-back and capricious, Fengyun could tell from his eyes that Cesar wouldn't give up easily. If he disagreed now, Cesar probably wouldn't pursue the matter further, but Hise might later consider things according to his assassin nature.

He would remain hidden, display his assassin's nature, strike Fengyun once and then run away, to test his own ideas and to prove himself after repeated setbacks at Fengyun's hands. It was not impossible that this would happen.

After all, Cesar is an assassin, and assassination is his forte, so it's not impossible for him to have such thoughts.

If Cesar really does that, Fengyun will be in a passive position.

He hadn't noticed Cesar, who had been quietly hiding in the corner at the beginning, in the Council Hall, which in itself showed the gap between him and Cesar.

On the surface, he appeared calm and helpless, but in his mind, Fengyun's thoughts were racing. He nodded and said, "Well, make your move. However, if I feel that I am being suppressed too much and can't control myself, I will probably use my God's Domain to resist. You have to be careful then."

Cesar chuckled and nodded in agreement. Without saying another word, he activated his God's Domain and began to attack. He had already decided that once he gained a slight advantage, he would immediately stop and leave.

"I've really lost face today. Since Fengyun is willing to respect his senior and give me this face, then I'll take advantage of him and leave as soon as possible!"

"Ugh, this is so embarrassing!"

Under the suppression of the God's Domain, Fengyun suddenly felt that he was suppressed in all aspects, and his strength and speed were greatly reduced.

Fortunately, the flow of divine power of light and darkness could offset this suppression to some extent, but even so, he immediately raised his strength to the limit and no longer suppressed himself as he had before.

This time, as soon as the game started, Cesar felt that it was no longer a one-sided affair.

Although Fengyun still performed very well, he was finally able to gain the upper hand because his opponent did not use the God's Domain while he did!
