Du Wenzhen laughed heartily as the Five Elements divine light split into two, with the water and earth elements transforming into a bell shape to block Ren Xia's Supreme Yang Divine Light.

This battle strategy, he had learned from Xiao Mu, yet he used it with considerable proficiency.

The power of Ren Xia's Supreme Yang Divine Light was not weak to begin with, but after the Mutation, Du Wenzhen's Five Elements divine light became even stronger, with just the Divine Textures on the surface of the divine light preventing Ren Xia's Supreme Yang Divine Light from breaking through.

Ren Xia's expression changed.

"Old Ren, I've told you before, you're just so-so! You couldn't even handle my attack, and now it's your turn to take mine," Du Wenzhen boasted.

With his taunts, the remaining Gold, Wood, Fire elements of the Five Elements divine light suddenly transformed into a tricolor Giant Hammer that descended from the sky with a thunderous crash towards Ren Xia.

Ren Xia's face changed color again, his Supreme Yang Divine Light had just been released and couldn't be taken back immediately; a flash of white light at his feet, he quickly retreated using the Metal Escape Technique.

"Ren Kuang, you think your Escape Art can compare to mine? You think you can run from me?"

With a shout from Du Wenzhen, he used the Mutated Earth Escape Technique to give chase and caught up with Ren Kuang in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The Gold, Wood, Fire Tricolor Hammer slammed down with tremendous force, and with Ren Xia using both hands to desperately block, he was still smashed into the mud.

"Incredible! Du Wenzhen is so strong!"

"Too powerful, indeed! Worthy of the mutated Five Elements divine light!"

Many onlookers exclaimed in admiration.

Du Wenzhen was stronger than they had imagined, even Ren Xia, the cavalier, was no match for him.

"Brother Du, go for it!" The girl who was obsessed with him just now was excitedly shouting and jumping, clapping for Du Wenzhen.

"Ren Kuang, how about it? Are you convinced?"

Listening to the praises of others, Du Wenzhen grew even more complacent, the tricolor Giant Hammer suspended in the air, aimed at Ren Xia, but he didn't press the attack.

He was just showing off how strong he was. In his eyes, simply winning was enough; he hadn't thought about taking it any further with Ren Xia.

"Du Wenzhen, you're impressive, but don't get smug. Just because you've beaten me once doesn't mean you'll beat me for a lifetime," Ren Xia said as he crawled out of the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness as he looked at Du Wenzhen.

Du Wenzhen laughed wildly, "If you ever want to challenge me, I, Old Du, am always ready. Ren Kuang, don't be sore, you'll never be my match in this lifetime."

"Hmph!"

Ren Kuang snorted angrily, knowing that if he continued to argue, he would surely be at a loss, so he wisely stopped arguing with Du Wenzhen and walked away, quickly disappearing with the Metal Escape Technique.

"Brother Du, you're so amazing, you actually defeated the cavalier Ren Xia!" The infatuated girl ran up to Du Wenzhen and praised him with clenched fists.

"What's so great about that?"

Du Wenzhen dismissively waved his hand and said coquettishly, "A mere Ren Xia, how could he be my opponent?"

"Sss! Impressive!"

"Truly remarkable! The mutated Five Elements divine light is indeed powerful!"

The onlookers also let out exclamations of admiration, some even gasped.

"Haha!" Du Wenzhen laughed wildly, glanced at Xiao Mu, and asked with a proud look, "How about that, Old Xiao? My strength isn't too bad now, is it?"

Xiao Mu shook his head helplessly and grudgingly commented, "Not bad."

"Not bad?"

Du Wenzhen exclaimed exaggeratedly, looking dissatisfied at Xiao Mu, "Old Xiao, to say that this kind of strength is just 'not bad'? Ren Xia is quite powerful, and yet I easily dealt with him."

"I know, you're just jealous of me, haha! Although you've undergone more mutations with your Earth Escape Technique than I did, only your Earth Power among the Five Elements divine light has mutated."

"But I'm different. All of my Five Elements divine light has mutated. Even though my Earth Power has not mutated as much as yours, combined, I'm still stronger than you."

"Old Xiao, admit it, you're jealous of me, aren't you?"

"Fine, you're better than me!"

A look of resignation was on Xiao Mu's face.

After Du Wenzhen stepped into the Mid Yin God Realm, he became increasingly arrogant due to the consumption of a large quantity of Five Elements Dust, which caused his Five Elements divine light to mutate.

"Old Xiao, that's not a modest thing to say!"

Du Wenzhen looked at Xiao Mu with dissatisfaction, "You're saying 'even if you're better,' but in reality, you don't believe I'm better than you. Why don't we brothers have a little comparison? Don't worry, we're all brethren here; it's just a friendly sparring, and as brothers, nobody is going to hurt you."

At this moment, the onlookers still hadn't left, and upon hearing what Du Wenzhen said to Xiao Mu, they couldn't help but grow even more curious about his points.

Most of these people knew Du Wenzhen, but not many knew Xiao Mu.

Even though Xiao Mu had made quite an impression on several individuals half a month prior when he had publicly taught Ximen Liang a lesson, it was after all only one brief encounter, and not many people truly remembered him.

Du Wenzhen's words made many people secretly speculate about Xiao Mu's identity.

"Who is this guy?"

"Seems like he's a friend of Du Wenzhen?"

"Du Wenzhen has friends?"

"Shh! Do you have a death wish? Du Wenzhen is so strong now, he even defeated Ren Xia; how dare you gossip about him behind his back?"

Whispers spread among the crowd.

Instead of being ashamed of the covert discussions behind his back, Du Wenzhen took pride in them and, looking at Xiao Mu, egged on, "Old Xiao, don't be scared. It's just a little sparring between us bros, even if you lose, would I really hurt you?"

You assume you could hurt me even before we've fought?

Xiao Mu gave Du Wenzhen a speechless look, thinking that he was really getting ahead of himself.

A slight dissatisfaction arose in his heart, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Du Wenzhen, are you sure you really want to spar with me?"

Seeing Xiao Mu's gaze, Du Wenzhen inexplicably shivered.

He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Don't use the Five Elements Lamp."

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but wipe an imaginary cold sweat from his forehead.

He had been too careless just now and had forgotten that Old Xiao had a Five Elements Lamp in his possession. With the enhancement of the Five Elements Lamp, the power of the Five Elements Divine Light could increase by thirty percent.

The Five Elements Divine Light, amplified by thirty percent with the help of the Five Elements Lamp, was definitely beyond the power of his current Mutation, which had only increased by ten percent.

But if Xiao Mu didn't use the Five Elements Lamp, he felt that he would be able to fight, and possibly even soundly defeat Xiao Mu.

"How about it? Old Xiao, let's spar without using the Five Elements Lamp, shall we?"

Xiao Mu thought it over and eventually agreed to Du Wenzhen's proposal. He decided to give him a good thrashing to keep his ego in check from time to time, "Fine, I won't use the Five Elements Lamp."

"Haha!"

Upon hearing this, Du Wenzhen was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Old Xiao, you really are my good brother. I'm about to make my move, get ready!"

Before his words had even finished, the Divine Light of the Five Elements rose up like swords behind him, as if he couldn't wait to seize the opportunity to teach Xiao Mu a lesson.

The Mutation-enhanced Divine Light of the Five Elements was indeed extraordinary, each strand of divine light displaying faint Divine Textures. When agitated, the textures interwove, emitting elusive Divine Sounds.

"Old Xiao, take this!"

Shouting, Du Wenzhen controlled the Divine Light of the Five Elements, which transformed into a sword as he swept it towards Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu stood still, neither dodging nor evading, as the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor within him suddenly vibrated.

Hum!

The Supreme Intention radiated from Xiao Mu, creating rings that spread out from him at the center.

Sizzling!

Against the intense heat, Du Wenzhen's Divine Light of the Five Elements sounded like little droplets on red-hot iron, emitting a strange, sharp noise.

The Divine Light of the Five Elements couldn't withstand the Supreme Intention released by the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and immediately compressed. The mighty five-colored sword that had been slashing towards Xiao Mu instantly turned into a mini sword, its power reduced by more than half.

"What the hell?"

Du Wenzhen cried out in astonishment, his face showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Boom!

Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Mu's Divine Light of the Five Elements burst forth, dividing into two parts. The powers of water and earth combined into a bell and pushed forward, displacing Du Wenzhen's mini sword transformed from the Divine Light of the Five Elements.

Then, the tricolor brilliance of metal, fire, and wood formed a hammer that fell from the sky. Much like how Du Wenzhen had dealt with Ren Kuang before, he hammered down on Du Wenzhen, sending him crashing into the ground.

"Du Wenzhen, do you still want to continue the match?"

Xiao Mu's tricolor Giant Hammer hovered above Du Wenzhen's head, and he looked down to question Du Wenzhen.

"How is this possible? Something's not right!"

Du Wenzhen shouted as he climbed out of the mud pit, his expression ghostly, "Old Xiao, how is this possible? Why does your Divine Light suddenly weaken when it encounters mine? Old Xiao, what exactly did you do?"
