Mo Shen could already see the battle intent present on Mo Wuyou's face. It was like he wouldn't be satisfied without a battle. Mo Shen could see that the man was battle hungry.
"Don't you have a class to teach?" Mo Shen asked.
Mo Wuyou turned to look at the few students already present in the class and announced. "The instructor is busy, so there would be no class today."
After that, he turned back to Mo Shen and flew into the air. Mo Shen followed suit.
While in the air, Mo Wuyou stamped his feet twice, and a battle dimension was created from pure space. The dimension could withstand up to Universe Lord realm power. It's purpose was just to battle and prevent battle fluctuations from spreading out.
"Interesting." Mo Shen commented as he was impressed. "Is this the Dao of Myriad Formations? Creating a battle dimension from space with a defensive power of the Universe Lord realm and extracting pure Dao power from the world to strengthen and solidify the dimension barrier. It could even be used as a defensive barrier."
Mo Shen entered the dimension with Mo Wuyou, and they disappeared from the eyes of everyone. To the rest of the world, it would be as if they had vanished from the world, but the dimension was in the Dao Universe, it just couldn't be seen.
The inside of the dimension looked completely different from the outside world despite it being taken from there. It was according to Mo Wuyou's creation. It was like a void filled with darkness and chaotic energies that could obliterate anyone below the Empyrean realm. Even those in the Empyrean realm would be seriously injured if they are not careful.
"Before we start, why don't we lay out some stakes here." Mo Shen said with a cunning smile. He had hoped for this from the start. It wasn't like he couldn't get the man's memories by force with his overpowered soul strength, but such methods were only reserved for those against him. This man here was Mo Fan's grandfather, and a power guarding his empire.
And so, the best way to get what he wants was to get the man to spill his secrets himself. And what better way than a fair bet on a battle. Mo Shen had seen how battle-hungry the man was, he definitely wouldn't shy away from a bet.
"What are the stakes?" Mo Wuyou asked cautiously. Although he really wanted a battle, he couldn't just agree to any condition even if he was confident on his strength.
"Very simple. I win, and you tell me what I want to know." Mo Shen told him.
A frown formed on Mo Wuyou's face. He couldn't just spill heavenly-guarded secrets like that. There were always consequences to such action and he was sure it would come back to bite him in the future. But on the other hand, he really wanted to fight Mo Shen. He had been starved of battles for thousands of years. An inner battle was going on in him before Mo Shen ended his battle with a single statement.
"You win and you get 1 million Dao stones." Mo Shen projected the contents of a spatial ring with his divine sense, showing 1 million Dao stones.
Shock filled Mo Wuyou's body. He was literally drooling as he looked at the dao stones. Those in the Dao Universe might not know the significance of these stones, but he was more than aware. If he needed 10,000 years to reach the 3rd level of the dao on normal conditions, with Dao stones, he would need at most 100 years.
"Mhmm." Mo Wuyou cleared his throat in an awkward manner. "Let's start the battle."
His eyes glazed over for a second and a formation was created, it merged with his body. Instantly, his physical body strength shot up to the Universe Lord realm. He looked at Mo Shen with his cold red eyes. It was like he had become another person entirely. A battle-maniac Mo Wuyou. Even Mo Shen was taken back with his opponent's new-found strength.
Mo Shen's physical strength had long reached the Universe Dao realm level. His physical strength had not increased since he created his new body. Perhaps because it had been a short time or because he thought he was already the strongest in the Dao Universe, he hadn't bothered to improve his strength.
"It seems I have become too complacent with my meagre strength that is not worth mentioning in the grand scheme of things." Mo Shen thought to himself in self-examination.
At that moment, Mo Wuyou rushed towards him with his fist that had a small formation around it. He punched Mo Shen in the abdomen, sending him flying back a hundred metres.
Without giving him rest, another formation appeared at the bottom of Mo Wuyou's feet, sending him towards Mo Shen with a speed that resembled teleporting. He followed his punch with several ones, all at the exact same spot, as if he wanted to penetrate his abdomen with one of those punches.
Mo Shen didn't defend himself or try to dodge. It seemed like he couldn't even dodge even if he wanted to. Mo Wuyou's attacks were just that fast and powerful.
After punching over 200 times in less than 5 seconds, Mo Wuyou withdrew himself. He discovered that even though Mo Shen wasn't defending, he didn't seem to be in the least bit injured.
"It seems this clothes is giving me some serious defense." Mo Shen commented as if he was accessing the robes he was wearing for the first time. It seemed like the reason he didn't feel the attacks one bit was because of it. "And we don't want that now, do we?" He took of the golden outer robes he was wearing and kept it in his spatial ring, leaving only his inner garments that didn't have any defensive power, but were extremely flexible to not crumble under attacks.
"You're giving up such good defenses?" Mo Wuyou asked, surprised. He was taken back by Mo Shen's discard of his defensive robes that seemed well capable of defending against Universe Lord realm power.
"They are just durable that's all." Mo Shen commented with a shrug. "When did I ever need a piece of cloth to have my back?"
At that moment, he flexed his fist and went straight for a punch using about 5% of his strength for a start. When fist met head, Mo Wuyou flew back a little, but didn't receive much harm.
"Very good, it seems you can take a beating." Mo Shen said excitedly. It was his first real physical fight, so he decided to take it more seriously. Combining speed and power, he used 10% of his power this time and continued the fight.
Although he couldn't use spiritual power, Mo Shen had many created skills that just needed his pure physical strength. They were all simple skills that only differed slightly in application, but all required a great amount of physical strength.
After about 2 hours of their physical fight, Mo Wuyou was already panting. He had used up all the skills in his arsenal, but it seems he was not fated with the 1 million daos stones.
"I admit defeat." Mo Wuyou announced just as Mo Shen was about to land a kick on his neck.
"How did you get so strong?" Mo Wuyou asked in surprise. He initially thought his granddson was exaggerating Mo Shen's strength, but now it seemed even his grandson didn't know his young lord's true strength.
"And you seemed to be really experienced in fighting. Mo Fan said you're still less than 20 years old, but it looks like age is just a number to you." Mo Wuyou said as he tried to catch his breath.
"I might just have fought wars longer than you have," Mo Shen replied to him with a mystery smile.
When he was still battling with the consciousness of the Demon Bones and the Ancient God Heart, time might have seemed like only a few hours for each fight to the outside world, but for the embodiments of time and space dao, what was turning a few hours into a few thousand years.
The fight was over, so Mo Wuyou displaced the boundary formation he had put in place to cover the fight, and they came back to land.
The moment they landed, they were met with almost all the higher-ups of the Empire and Academy, including Mo Shen's parent. It was like all the experts in the Empyrean realm were here
"What an audience," Mo Shen exclaimed. He had put all his mind in the fight and didn't bother checking what was going on on land.
"Dad, Mom, why are you guys here?" Mo Shen walked to his parents and asked them.
Mo Wudi looked him over, checking to make sure he was okay. "Reports came in that everybody below the Empyrean realm in the school fainted, so we traced the source to be here."
"What?" Mo Shen extended his divine sense to cover the whole school and found out that all the students and some of the teachers had indeed fainted.
He turned and looked at Mo Wuyou who bowed his head red in embarassment. Didn't he say the formation could prevent the battle fluctuations from leaving the battle dimension?
"It's actually my first time using it," Mo Wuyou replied in an embarassed voice. He also didn't expect the pressure of the fight to leak through the formation. He had only learned this formation a few years ago, and hadn't had the oppurtunity to test its limits.
Mo Shen turned back to his parents and apologized. "Sorry about that dad." He was also at fault. He was over excited for the fight and didn't bother with his surroundings. He trusted that with the formation, everything was going to be alright. It was a lesson to him that he could only place 100% trust in himself to reach his satisfaction level.
"We were having a light spar, I didn't expect the battle pressure to leak down into the academy."
