"Come, Big Head, let your teacher see your progress over the years!"

Master Luo stood with one hand behind his back and the other extended towards Lu Datou, palm up. It seemed like an invitation, but it was actually a fighting stance.

"Humph, the bond between us as master and disciple was severed long ago. Don't presumptuously call yourself 'teacher'!"

Lu Datou snorted coldly, taking a step forward that spanned more than ten meters, placing him in front of Master Luo.

"Once a teacher, always a father. A teacher is always a teacher!"

A burst of light exploded from Master Luo's eyes as he abruptly struck out with a palm towards Lu Datou.

*Boom!*

The palm carried a tremendous sound, as if tearing through the air.

The surrounding guests retreated, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Fortunately, the banquet hall was large enough!

"Not everyone is worthy of being a teacher!"

Facing Master Luo's incoming palm, Lu Datou showed no fear, striking out with an identical palm!

Seeing this, even outsiders could tell that Lu Datou's skills had indeed been taught by Master Luo.

Their stances were exactly the same, even their posture was nearly identical.

However, Chen Xiao noticed a subtle difference: Lu Datou's palm was more forceful, while Master Luo's leaned towards a more Yin and soft approach.

*Bang!*

*Boom—*

The two palms collided, and a burst of flames erupted, reaching towards the ceiling of the hall!

The flames dissipated quickly. After the collision, the two separated immediately, each retreating.

Lu Datou retreated three steps, while Master Luo only retreated one.

However, Lu Datou was unharmed, while a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Master Luo's mouth.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhishan's heart sank.

He had guessed correctly. Although Lu Datou's skills were taught by Master Luo, Master Luo was, after all, older...

"Jie Jie Jie... Not bad, not bad at all, Datou. Your progress over the last twenty years has indeed been significant. No wonder you occupy a spot among the Heavenly Ranking Four Absolutes."

Master Luo chuckled sinisterly, still full of confidence, without a trace of panic.

He spoke as if he were a teacher educating his student.

Lu Datou's face showed displeasure. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll knock out all your false teeth!"

"You unfilial brat..."

Master Luo didn't say anything when Lu Datou threatened to kill him, but when Lu Datou said he would knock out his false teeth, he accused Lu Datou of being unfilial.

Master Luo chuckled dryly. "However, this teacher hasn't even begun to exert his strength yet, so you shouldn't be so arrogant!"

With that, Master Luo's figure flashed as he rushed towards Lu Datou.

"What a coincidence, I was just warming up!"

Lu Datou smiled proudly, his figure also becoming ethereal.

What followed left everyone present dumbfounded and speechless.

Because the figures of the two in the arena were so fast that they could barely be seen.

They could only see bursts of light, like dazzling fireworks being set off in the center of the hall.

The whole process lasted only a few dozen seconds, but to the audience, it felt like a day and a night had passed.

Because they were even more nervous than Master Luo and Lu Datou.

After all, they would probably only witness a battle of this level once in their lives.

After dozens of seconds, the figures of the two reappeared before everyone, and everything seemed to have settled.

Lu Datou's face was flushed, and his forehead was covered with sweat, indicating that the battle had drained a lot of his energy.

However, Master Luo's situation was not as simple as just being tired.

His hair was disheveled, and he spat out even more blood.

His clothes were tattered and scorched, and countless lacerations covered his body.

In the end, the young are stronger, and Xi Yuan lived up to his name as one of the Heavenly Ranking Four Absolutes!

"You've lost."

Lu Datou said indifferently, "It's true that you taught me the Great Sun Fiery Flame Divine Skill (Da Ri Lie Yan Shen Gong), but I've reached the ninth level, while you're still stuck on the seventh level like you were twenty years ago."

"Heh heh, not bad, not bad!"

Master Luo's eyes were full of admiration. "Even my master only reached the eighth level of this Great Sun Fiery Flame Divine Skill. And you, at less than sixty years old, have managed to reach the ninth level. Datou, you truly are the most talented of my disciples!"

Lu Datou snorted coldly. "I don't want to talk nonsense with you. For the sake of our past relationship, I can give you a chance to commit suicide. Do it quickly!"

Master Luo smiled faintly and asked, "What if I don't?"

"Then I will!"

Lu Datou's figure flashed as he charged out, striking with a palm towards Master Luo's face!

But just as he reached Master Luo, a golden light suddenly flashed.

The golden light was so dazzling, like staring directly at the midday sun. Everyone reflexively covered their eyes and turned their heads away.

When the golden light faded and they looked back at the two, they suddenly found that Lu Datou had fallen to the ground.

And blood was gushing from his mouth.

Master Luo, on the other hand, made everyone gasp in surprise.

Because at this moment, he was surrounded by golden light, making him almost unbearable to look at directly.

Countless dazzling rays of light emerged from his pores, making him appear like a divine being!

What was this? Was this a god descending to earth?

The scene before them left everyone in a daze, the shock in their eyes beyond measure.

Even Chen Xiao couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

This Master Luo was undoubtedly the strongest martial artist he had ever encountered!

"Datou, today, your teacher will teach you a lesson. A teacher is always a teacher!"

Master Luo's voice was muffled and echoed.

Because his words were not spoken from his mouth, but directly from his body.

Lu Datou's face was filled with horror. "What... what kind of evil skill is this?"

"Jie Jie Jie—"

A sinister laugh came from Master Luo's body.

"Datou, twenty years ago, this teacher's Great Sun Fiery Flame Divine Skill had already reached the seventh level. Haven't you ever wondered why this teacher hasn't made any progress in the last twenty years?"

Lu Datou couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about this question... but he couldn't figure it out at the time, so he didn't bother to think about it.

And now, Master Luo had given him the answer.

"Because for the past twenty years, this teacher has been living in seclusion, just to break through to the highest realm of martial arts—the Divine Realm!"

"As the saying goes, 'Kung fu pays off those who have heart.' This teacher's twenty years have not been in vain!"

The shock in Lu Datou's eyes was beyond measure as he pointed at Master Luo and asked in a trembling voice, "You, you... you have already stepped into the Martial Dao Divine Realm?"
