Chapter 526 Losing Terribly

"How about it?"

After Taiyi Zhenren returned to his original form, he raised an eyebrow at Nezha and said smugly.

"That's it?" Nezha glanced disdainfully at Taiyi Zhenren, then turned around and transformed, creating a table exactly like the Eight Immortals Table that Taiyi Zhenren had just conjured.
"Exactly the same!" Li Jing and Lady Yin exclaimed in surprise as they stared wide-eyed at the Eight Immortals Table that Nezha had transformed into.

"Wow, you're actually quite skilled!"

Swish! The next second, the octagonal table transformed back into Nezha: "This is too childish!"

Nezha waved his hand and said.

“Then you’ll have to make things a little harder,” Taiyi Zhenren said, pointing at Nezha.

He didn't believe Nezha could conjure anything too difficult; after all, even he...

brush~
The next second, Nezha turned around and transformed into a willow tree on the spot.

The leaves are lush, the green branches droop low, and it is full of vitality.

Then the willow tree transformed back into Nezha: "Come on~" Nezha nodded at Taiyi Zhenren, indicating that it was his turn to perform.

"Oh dear!" Master Taiyi's heart skipped a beat, and he was startled.

The art of transformation ranges from simple to difficult. The most basic level is transforming inanimate objects, such as tables, chairs, and stones. Then there are plants, such as trees and flowers. The most difficult level is transforming living things. Even Taiyi Zhenren himself cannot transform living things now; being able to transform into plants is his limit.

"Thank goodness~ It seems Nezha is only at this level~" Taiyi Zhenren secretly wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, but outwardly remained calm, saying, "I thought you could come up with some really difficult questions, but they're not that hard after all~"

Immediately afterwards, Taiyi Zhenren muttered a spell and transformed into a lush willow tree, mimicking Nezha.

Search~
When Taiyi Zhenren transformed back to normal, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't realize you were so capable!" Nezha said in surprise, looking at Taiyi Zhenren's performance.

To Nezha's surprise, although Taiyi Zhenren was unreliable, he did have some skills, unlike the good-for-nothing Nezha had imagined.

"Of course~ I am, after all, a disciple of the Celestial Venerable, and I cultivated myself into an immortal through proper means~"

Upon hearing Nezha's assessment, Taiyi Zhenren smiled smugly, thinking that he had finally managed to save face a little.

"Don't get too cocky~ Keep going~"

"Alright! Today I'll make you admit defeat completely!"

Taiyi Zhenren believed he had a thorough understanding of Nezha's abilities. After reciting a spell, a small dogtail flower appeared on the spot.

Although transforming things like plants belongs to the second stage of transformation techniques, the size of the transformed object also varies in difficulty.

The smaller the size, the greater the control required, and the greater the difficulty. This tiny foxtail flower is already the limit of Taiyi Zhenren's skill. Considering that he has cultivated for many years to reach this level, he believes that Nezha is far from being able to keep up...

puff!
Taiyi Zhenren was so frightened that he reverted to his original form. How could this be?
The little baby actually turned into a dog's tail flower after him, this... this...

"That's it? That's it?"

Nezha then transformed back into his original form: "This is what you meant by the more difficult part?"

"Uh...this..." Master Taiyi wiped the sweat from his brow. "I've always been giving you face, kid. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to keep up with the more difficult things I teach you, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"Hmph~" Nezha raised his head: "I don't believe your nonsense~"

He had already seen through Taiyi Zhenren's level, so Nezha stopped wasting words.

He turned around instantly and transformed into Li Jing's appearance.
"My God!" Taiyi Zhenren felt a chill in his heart: "We're doomed..."

He hadn't even learned the skill of transforming into living things yet, but he didn't expect that Nezha was already so proficient. How long had he been cultivating? Was this kid's talent really that terrifying?
That wasn't all. Immediately afterwards, Nezha transformed into Lady Yin's appearance again, and then, amidst the gasps of the others...

Nezha first transformed into a tiger, then into a leopard, then into an elephant, then into a falcon. After circling in the sky, he transformed into a small sparrow and fluttered down onto Lady Yin's shoulder.

"Come on~" Nezha landed and transformed into human form, smiling at Taiyi Zhenren, "It's your turn~"

"This..." Under the watchful eyes of Li Jing and Madam Yin, Taiyi Zhenren remained unchanged for a long time.

"I admit defeat~" In the end, Taiyi Zhenren had no choice but to shrug and admit defeat. There was nothing he could do; his transformation techniques had only reached this level.

"My son is truly amazing!" Madam Yin's face immediately lit up with joy as she praised Nezha lavishly.

Even Li Jing showed a look of satisfaction.

"Give it to me~" Nezha stretched out a small hand and fiddled with it in front of Taiyi Zhenren.

"Take it, take it~" Taiyi Zhenren pouted and took out the Hun Tian Ling, handing it to Nezha with a disgruntled expression.

He didn't care about this one magical artifact; he possessed countless treasures, including a masterpiece like the Mountain and River Map, let alone a mere Chaos Ribbon. He didn't even consider it a threat. However, losing to a child was incredibly humiliating.
"Let's continue the competition~" Nezha, having obtained the Hun Tian Ling, said to Taiyi Zhenren with a mischievous smile.

"Of course we'll keep competing!"

Master Taiyi immediately said, "He just doesn't believe it! How could this kid be better than him in everything? He's only been cultivating for a short time; he refuses to believe in such nonsense!"
"But speaking of which, how long have you been practicing this transformation technique?"

Taiyi Zhenren suddenly asked curiously, "Back then, it took me a long time just to learn the transformation technique, let alone Nezha's level of mastery where he can do whatever he wants."

"Hmm... maybe half a day," Nezha pondered for a moment before replying, "Of all the skills my master taught me, this is one of the slower ones I learned."

puff!
Taiyi Zhenren felt as if a sharp arrow had pierced his heart...

Those who learn relatively slowly...

It's rather slow...

Slow...

Taiyi Zhenren felt those words echoing repeatedly in his mind...

My long-term efforts couldn't compare to this kid's half-day effort?

This is still slow!?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
!

This kid is definitely lying to him!

Then, Master Taiyi took out another magical treasure from his pocket: a gleaming gold brick.

"Come on, let's continue the competition. This time, I'll use this gold brick as the wager. Let me tell you, this magical treasure of mine..."

"Great!!" After Taiyi Zhenren finished introducing the brick in his hand—oops!—it was a gold brick, Nezha's eyes lit up as he looked at it.

He likes this kind of violent stuff, like throwing big gold bricks at people, just thinking about it is awesome!
"it is good!"

Seeing that Nezha had agreed, Taiyi Zhenren quickly nodded and said, "Since you chose the competition for the last round, I'll choose it for this round!"

despise……

Two disdainful gazes shot towards Taiyi Zhenren; they were from Li Jing and Lady Yin. They truly hadn't expected Taiyi Zhenren to be so shameless, taking advantage of a child in such a contest.

This guy has cultivated for hundreds of years, so he'll definitely choose the area he's best at in this competition.

Even Taiyi Zhenren blushed under the gaze of these two. There was nothing he could do; Nezha was too monstrous. If he were to continue letting him choose the content of the competition, he would probably suffer a loss. He didn't care about magic weapons.

Anyway, these were originally intended to be given to Nezha after he took him as his disciple. However, giving them away and losing them are two different things. Especially if a grown man who is hundreds of years old loses to a little kid, what about the reputation of Taiyi Zhenren?
Even so, after doing this, Master Taiyi didn't lose much face.

"I don't care~ As long as you're happy~" Nezha secretly despised Taiyi Zhenren, this shameless fat man, but said it nonchalantly.

"Alright~ Let's have a contest of our wind and rain summoning skills this time!"

The ability to summon wind and rain is a legendary skill that is considered a standard ability of deities.

However, the truth is that this move is a very advanced spell.

Summoning wind and rain is a natural phenomenon that is manipulated by one's own magical power, causing thunderclouds to appear and rain to fall naturally in a designated area.

Rather than the kind of magic that uses one's own power to conjure wind and water.

Therefore, there are actually very few gods who can truly control the wind and rain.

As a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiyi Zhenren had mastered this magic, and he figured that Nezha's unknown master certainly wouldn't know such advanced magic.

And Nezha, this little kid, certainly couldn't master such advanced magic in such a short period of training!
This is completely different from transformation magic!
Until fifteen minutes later...

This is what Taiyi Zhenren is thinking... Orz
"Why..."

Taiyi Zhenren stared blankly at the torrential rain outside the window...

He spent a lot of effort to summon a small patch of thunderclouds that covered the street, bringing down a light rain.

As a result, Nezha actually summoned a thundercloud that covered the entire Chentang Pass, bringing down a heavy rain.

The difference is obvious...

"Mmm~~" Nezha's face was practically beaming with joy as he stretched out his hand to Taiyi Zhenren, signaling him to stop dawdling and give it to him quickly~
"Sigh~" True Immortal Taiyi wasn't one to back down from a bet; he sighed, took out the gold brick, and handed it to Nezha: "Take it, take it~"

Out of sight, out of mind~ Taiyi Zhenren turned his head and waved to Nezha.

"Hahahaha! That's awesome!" Nezha jumped up and down with joy.

Li Jing and his wife were equally happy, not because Nezha had defeated Taiyi Zhenren's magic weapon, but because Nezha had cultivated extraordinary skills on his own.

Before they knew it, the sky outside had cleared up. The rain came quickly and dispersed just as fast. Nezha didn't let the rain last long, so the sun soon came out.

"So, are you still going to compete?" Nezha said provocatively to Taiyi Zhenren, "However, I advise you to give up on that idea. You're far inferior to my master."

Hey~ you little brat~

Originally, Master Taiyi really didn't want to continue the competition. Nezha's two moves had made him somewhat complacent. However, after hearing the second half of Nezha's words, Master Taiyi instantly exploded. His competitive temper flared up. He simply refused to believe that after cultivating for hundreds of years, he couldn't even compare to a little kid.

"I refuse to believe I can't deal with you today! What do you want to compete in next?! This time, I'll bet this fire-tipped spear on you!"

"Good~"

Nezha nodded, his eyes narrowing as he smiled, "How about we have a head-chopping contest this time?"

"What are you babbling about?!" Taiyi Zhenren was startled, and Li Jing and his wife were also taken aback by Nezha's words.

"Nezha! Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, it's a contest of beheading!"

Nezha said to Taiyi Zhenren, "Cut off my head, and then a new head will grow back~ How about that~"

"Are you kidding me?! There's no such magic!"

Taiyi Zhenren stared wide-eyed at Nezha and said, "Are you trying to trick me... No, wait!"

Master Taiyi clapped his hands: "I just remembered! I've heard that among the legendary Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends is a technique called the Head-Regenerating Technique! Could it be that you are...!"

"Oh ho? You do have some knowledge, huh?" Nezha looked at Taiyi Zhenren in surprise, not expecting that he could see through the magic he was practicing.

"It really is plain!" exclaimed Master Taiyi.

"This... Immortal Taiyi, what kind of magic is this Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends?"

Looking at Taiyi Zhenren's appearance, Li Jing sensed that this thing was quite extraordinary, so he quickly asked him a question.

After thinking for a moment, Taiyi Zhenren said to Li Jing and his wife, "These Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, also known as the Seventy-Two Techniques of the Earthly Fiends, are composed of seventy-two kinds of spells. They encompass everything, and even I have only heard of them. If it weren't for Nezha's talk of the head-regeneration technique, I wouldn't have been able to think of anything like it..."

"No wonder~ No wonder~" Master Taiyi said with sudden realization, "No wonder your transformation techniques and ability to summon wind and rain are better than mine. It turns out your magic is more powerful than mine, no wonder~"

cut~
The three rolled their eyes at Taiyi Zhenren's words. In other words, the reason he lost to him was not because he was incompetent, but because his magic was more powerful than his.

In short, it's all about shifting blame.
They all understood what he meant, but they were too lazy to call him out on it.

"So, do you still want to take me on as your apprentice?"

Nezha, hands on his hips, asked Taiyi Zhenren.

"This (jie)~"

Taiyi Zhenren rolled his eyes, unable to think of a reason, and could only say dejectedly, "I can't teach you~ I can't teach you~ Your Seventy-Two Transformations are more powerful than the spells I know, I can't teach you~"

Taiyi Zhenren's words truly shocked Li Jing and his wife.

Although Taiyi Zhenren seems unreliable, his master is a true Celestial Venerable. Even the magic he cultivates cannot compare to the 72 Transformations that Li Yu taught Nezha. Just who is this Li Yu?!
"Of course!" Nezha's nose practically popped out of his head after hearing Taiyi Zhenren's words: "Father, Mother, let me tell you about my seventy-two transformations..."

Nezha launched into a long explanation of the various spells included in his 72 Transformations: "Although I've only learned half of them now, I'm sure I'll learn them all! Don't worry about the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, my master will definitely help me get through it!"

"Good, good, good~" Li Jing and his wife nodded happily. As long as their son had a chance to live, that was the best thing. Who cared who his master was? Besides, this master didn't seem to be a bad person, otherwise he wouldn't have taught Nezha those profound principles.

"Nā'er, when your master returns, you must let us meet him. Your mother will definitely treat him well so that we can thank him in person."

“Yes, Mother! No problem!” Nezha readily agreed.

"Hmph! I'll see who you really are!" Taiyi Zhenren thought angrily to himself.

"Reporting to the master and the madam!"

Just then, a servant ran over: "Two townspeople outside the manor request an audience! They say they've come about the young master!"

"what!?"

Madam Yin's smile froze...

A bad thought crossed his mind: "Is Nezha going to cause trouble again...?"
