Before crossing hands with Song Qingming, Yuan Yushan had relied on his powerful magic treasure and several divine abilities, never taking this opponent seriously.
He had thought that with such a vast gap between their cultivation realms, even if Song Qingming possessed one or two formidable divine abilities, taking him down should not have been difficult.
Yet Yuan Yushan had never imagined that this sword-discussion duel, which he had believed was a sure thing, would see him kick straight into an iron plate.
The moment they began, Song Qingming brought out the Black Tortoise Spiritual Light Shield, a magic treasure with extraordinarily powerful defenses, neutralizing every attack Yuan Yushan launched.
Seeing that he could not defeat his opponent head-on, Yuan Yushan had wanted to use a secret technique to launch a covert sneak attack. But Song Qingming's divine sense was extremely sharp, and he discovered the attack in advance once more.
By the time he saw Song Qingming use the Myriad Spirit Puppet Great Formation to break free of his control in an instant, Yuan Yushan had already recognized the gap in their strength. His will to defeat Song Qingming had clearly crumbled.
However, as a Mid Nascent Soul Cultivator, losing to an Early Nascent Soul Cultivator like Song Qingming in full public view was too humiliating for him to accept. He still wanted to continue tangling with his opponent.
Yet, facing Song Qingming strengthened by the Myriad Spirit Puppet Great Formation, he had virtually no ability to resist.
In less than half an hour, the White Jade Halo had suppressed him head-on, leaving him powerless to break free.
Only now did Yuan Yushan understand the enormous disparity between his strength and Song Qingming's. As he looked at the man before him, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
