The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Chapter 13 Repelling the Third-Order Fire Deity
"Don't fear me, become my true believer."

Zeng Shen muttered something to himself, then poured a lot of cat food into the cat bowls in front of them before turning around and leaving the Divine Realm alone.

I'm going to buy some cat beds for them to live on the edge of this forest.

Immediately.

His consciousness slightly focused, and he opened the gate to the divine realm.

Back in the center of the abandoned hospital lobby.

After stepping out of the gate to the divine realm, Zeng Shen's consciousness slightly sharpened, and he softly uttered "Close," at which point the gate to the divine realm before him vanished.

"It seems that this is how the gates to the divine realm are opened and closed."

After summarizing how to use the Gate of the Divine Realm, Zeng Shen turned around and climbed over the large iron gate of the abandoned hospital, then walked towards the park square, preparing to go to the commercial street.

[Warning! You are about to approach a group of enslaved humans who have been stripped of their divinity and made cheap labor for a third-tier fire deity. Your presence may provoke the deity's hostility and could even lead to your own enslavement, stripping you of your divinity and making you his slave.]

When Zeng Shen reached the park square, he heard a system notification, paused slightly, and looked curiously at a group of elderly men and women not far away.

now.

They followed behind an old man dressed in gray Tai Chi clothing, mimicking the movements of Tai Chi in a very professional manner.

The old man had a kind and benevolent face, but his Tai Chi movements were fast, powerful, and well-structured, showing the demeanor of a master.

"I wonder which of them will be the future third-tier fire deity?"

Zeng Shen remained silent for a moment, then quietly walked past the group of elderly people.

But soon.

A familiar young voice suddenly rang out behind him:
“Master Ma, it was him. He said your Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi was rubbish, and that he was better at running every day. I couldn’t stand it and argued with him, and then he attacked me.”

[Warning! The host has disturbed the attention of a third-tier fire deity. Before the deity, the host will inevitably have their divine energy plundered and become its slave! Please escape immediately.]

An urgent system notification sounded, and Zeng Shen paused in his tracks.

Got noticed?
What should I do.

Will I be scammed out of money?
Lost in thought, Zeng Shen turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

The young news anchor, whose face had been slapped into a pig's head by himself in the abandoned hospital, was now pointing at himself and yelling at the old man who taught Tai Chi.

"So this old man is a third-tier fire-elemental deity."

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.”

"He seemed like a very nice person, teaching people Tai Chi here every day. But after the disaster, he became so vicious that he enslaved all the old men and women here."

Zeng Shen shook his head slightly.

But I soon felt somewhat relieved.

In many disaster movies, normally docile people may become twisted and abnormal in the face of great disasters in order to survive.

Moreover, this is reality.

Just as Zeng Shen was thinking this, the old man surnamed Ma, followed by a group of elderly men and women, walked towards him, seemingly to stand up for the young man.

"So you're the one who said my Master Ma's Hunyuan Xingyi Taijiquan is trash?" the old man surnamed Ma said with an unfriendly expression.

“I never said that,” Zeng Shen shook his head.

"Then you must have hit me, my little apprentice, right?" Master Ma said.

Do you know why he deserved to be hit?

“Even if he’s wrong, you shouldn’t beat him like this,” Old Man Ma said in a deep voice.

"Then what do you want to do?" Zeng Shen frowned.

“It’s simple. Didn’t you say that Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi is trash?” Master Ma said, and then opened his horse stance. “Then let’s have a spar and let you see how powerful our Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi is.”

"Huh? Show me?"

Zeng Shen understood; this old man Ma wanted to show off his skills.

Immediately.

He waved his hand and refused, saying, "Forget it. If I bump into you, you'll lie on the ground and try to extort money from me. I'll have nowhere to cry."

Master Ma was furious.

"You think I would try to extort money from you? If anything were to happen to me, I, Old Ma, wouldn't blame you."

"Then I won't fight you." Zeng Shen said, turning to leave.

"stop."

An elderly woman, a loyal fan of Master Ma, blocked Zeng Shen's way and said, "Young man, are you looking down on Master Ma? If you dare to walk away like this, do you believe I'll sit on the ground and extort you out of your entire fortune?"

"Grandma, I'm really afraid of hurting Master Ma."

Zeng Shen said.

The old woman ignored what Zeng Shen was saying and sat down on the ground, crying and shouting, "Oh my god, someone's been hit! Come quick!"

Upon seeing this, Zeng Shen exclaimed, "Damn it!"

"Alright, stop crying, I'll just demonstrate."

"But it's a deal, I don't hold back when I fight. I go all out, so don't blame me if I hurt you."

The last sentence was spoken by Zeng Shen to Master Ma.

"What a joke! I, Master Ma, have run a martial arts school for many years. Once, boxing champion Mike Tyson challenged me to a fight, and I defeated him with just one move. He still needs a young upstart to hold back his trump card."

Master Ma chuckled and once again demonstrated a Tai Chi stance.

"Master Ma even fought a boxing champion?"

The voices of elderly men and women chattered incessantly from the side.

"That's right. I heard from Master Ma that the boxing champion wanted to become Master Ma's disciple and asked for a hundred million in tuition fees, but Master Ma refused to accept it."

"Master Ma is indeed a reclusive master. His Tai Chi skills have long been superb. This young man actually dares to hurt Master Ma."

"Exactly, it's good for young people to learn a lesson these days."

"That's right, otherwise they wouldn't know their own limitations."

Upon hearing Master Ma's words and hearing the surrounding rumors, Zeng Shen's expression became serious.

He didn't want to be beaten.

and so.

He immediately used 20 points of Faith to cast Agility Amplification, increasing his Agility fivefold.

To everyone's astonishment, at a speed no one could see, he darted forward and landed a powerful kick on Ma Zhenren's backside.

boom!
A soft sound.

Ma Zhenren was kicked and crashed into the young anchor, using the young anchor as a cushion as well. Both of them fell a meter away and lay on the ground, unable to get up.

"Ah, Master Ma, are you alright?"

"Quickly pinch the philtrum."

"I'm fine now, don't pinch me, help me up."

In the chaos, Old Man Ma was helped up by a group of old women.

Master Ma, who was helped up, was completely bewildered.

That's incredibly fast!

If it weren't for Xiao Li taking the fall, he reckoned he would have been the one who fainted.

Seeing that Master Ma had stood up but remained motionless, the old woman beside him asked with concern, "Master Ma, are you really alright?"

"I'm fine. It was just an accident. He attacked before we even started. That's incredibly unethical," Master Ma said.

"That's right, they have no sportsmanship, they started fighting before even saying it was time to begin," the old woman who had been sitting on the ground crying and shouting earlier chimed in.

Simultaneously.

She turned to Zeng Shen and said, "Young man, you have no sportsmanship. You can only make a move before we call 'start'."

Zeng Shen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then, shall we do it again?"

“Yes, we must do it again,” the old woman said.

Upon hearing this, Master Ma suddenly pushed through the crowd, looked up at the sky, and exclaimed, "Ah!" He then said, "I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to at the martial arts school. Young man, let's spar another day."

Without turning his head or ignoring the old ladies calling after him, Master Ma turned and ran quickly toward the park gate.
