Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Top-grade Golden Core, Who Doesn’t Have One

"Precisely."

The Spirit Pearl looked at the little girl in front of him, his smile growing warmer yet colder.

He thought, if it weren’t for Nezha, such a charming, lovely little girl with jade-like skin should be his maid.

But now, everything he had was taken by Nezha!

Lv Zhu’er was a very intelligent person. She could tell that the Spirit Pearl wasn’t lying, yet she distinctly felt a strong malicious intent from him.

At that moment, Nezha walked out from the inner room, having already sensed the Spirit Pearl’s presence before coming out.

He could see that his opponent, like himself, had entered the Golden Core Realm, but having yet to fight, he couldn’t perceive what grade the other’s Golden Core was.

Nezha saw the Spirit Pearl and remained calm.

The Spirit Pearl saw Nezha and was slightly surprised; the person in front of him didn’t look like the one he had fought before, yet their aura was very similar.

It should be Nezha, just as it was; it’s just that while he himself was still a child, Nezha had grown into a young man. Could this also be a special feature of that body?

Thinking of this, the Spirit Pearl became angrier but still laughed and said, "Last few times I didn’t know your identity and fought with you; later, I found out you were actually Nezha. Now, allow me to officially introduce myself. I am Spirit Pearl, a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren from Qianyuan Mountain Golden Light Cave. Technically, I’m your senior brother."

"Um, you might have mistaken me for someone else. I am Li Zha, not Nezha."

The Spirit Pearl was startled, then recalled Lv Zhu’er’s reaction earlier, and said coldly, "Junior Brother Nezha really knows how to joke. Although your appearance has changed greatly, it’s not to the extent that I can’t recognize you."

"Oh, you can recognize even that; so, why has senior brother come here?"

Seeing the teasing in Nezha’s eyes, the Spirit Pearl said, "Even if you turned to ashes, I would recognize you. Spare me the nonsense and quickly return my Fire-tipped Spear."

"What if I don’t hand it over?"

"Not handing it over?" The Spirit Pearl sneered, "I saw you earlier chopping wood and building houses with those foolish mortals, wasting half a month’s time. You seem to care about them. Unfortunately, what’s built is hard but easy to destroy; I only need to set another fire."

As he spoke, he found that Nezha’s gaze hadn’t changed at all, causing his heart to jolt as Nezha’s voice echoed in his ears.

"If a child is not taught, it is the father’s fault; if a student is not instructed, it is the teacher’s laziness. Though you are young, you’ve reached the age of understanding, yet you’ve grown into the person before me. It seems that Taiyi Zhenren is indeed a poor teacher."

The Spirit Pearl’s face suddenly turned quite ugly and he said, "To say such things, it seems you are the one who truly betrays your teacher and ancestors!"

Nezha shook his head and said, "I’m merely stating an objective fact. I believe someone as virtuous as Taiyi Zhenren in the Cultivation World wouldn’t care about the opinion of a junior like me. Besides, there is only the title of teacher-student between us, not the reality. Since you walk the world representing Golden Light Cave, however people view you is naturally how they will view Golden Light Cave, which is why I say you bring shame."

"What did you say?!"

"So hasty, no wonder, still just a little child after all."

The Spirit Pearl, consumed by rage, threw a punch straight at Nezha.

Having cultivated a Seventh Grade Golden Core, his physical strength had enhanced significantly, surpassing the Nezha he knew.

A contemptuous smile appeared on his face, thinking that no matter how slick Nezha was with words, after taking this punch, he would only suffer in silence, and then he would see how Nezha could still be arrogant.

Yet when he threw this extremely confident punch, all that was heard was a muffled sound.

Looking again at his fist, he realized it had already been caught by Nezha’s palm.

Even though he had swung in with great momentum, the fist landed in Nezha’s palm as if it had hit a mountain wall, not moving at all, instead causing his wrist to ache from the recoil.

The Spirit Pearl’s eyes widened, unable to comprehend what had just transpired.

He was certain he had formed a Top-grade Golden Core, with his body tempered by Seven-grade Golden Core Power, and his internal Dao Bones resonating, having awakened his Dao Pattern, unifying with the Dao.

Was it possible that his physique was still inferior to Nezha’s?

"This... this is impossible!"

"What’s impossible? You think it’s impossible for my body to be stronger than yours? What, is forming a Golden Core something only you are allowed to do?"

Hearing Nezha’s nonchalant words, the Spirit Pearl’s face turned from red to pale. Being just a child, he couldn’t take losses lightly and immediately retorted:

"How can you compare with me! These years spent cultivating at Qianyuan Mountain Golden Light Cave, I have inherited the complete celestial teachings of Taiyi Zhenren! This time, venturing to Zhaoge for experience, I was bestowed numerous treasures by my master, even granted a rare five-thousand-year-old Monarch Herb to aid in forming a Top-grade Golden Core! I am the sole protagonist between Heaven and Earth, and what do you have?"

Nezha initially didn’t intend to argue for a moment’s advantage with the child, but seeing the child before him had taken many lives, he was indeed deserving of punishment.

Since he was already an enemy, doing things to upset one’s enemy was naturally refreshing.

He laughed and said, "The protagonist of Heaven and Earth, isn’t that laughable. From what you say, you’ve achieved a Top-grade Golden Core but didn’t mention the grade, likely just Seventh Grade, right? I’ve heard that Yang Jian, a disciple of Yu Ding Zhenren, cultivates Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, and forms a Nine-pattern Divine Pill, ruling over the crowd at a young age. Wouldn’t he more likely be the protagonist than you?"

"You!"

The Spirit Pearl thought to withdraw his hand for another punch, but Nezha held his fist tightly; not only was he unable to punch out, but he couldn’t even pull it back.

At this time, Nezha came closer, lowering his voice, "What ’you’? Yu Ding Zhenren might not be superior to our master Taiyi, but his disciples are stronger than his master’s favored personal disciples. You’re shameless here speaking wildly, truly brings shame to your master."

The Spirit Pearl kicked his feet on the ground, desperately trying to pull his fist out of Nezha’s grip, but Nezha stood there without moving a bit.

"A Seventh Grade Golden Core, a five-thousand-year-old Monarch Herb? I must admit, a five-thousand-year-old Monarch Herb is precious, but tell me, who doesn’t have one? I also used quite a few during my Core Formation. Top-grade Golden Core, how rare is that?"

He knew that indeed, a Top-grade Golden Core was rare, but upon saying so, the Spirit Pearl was almost enraged to the point of exploding.

Nezha pulled him closer, with his physical body naturally surpassing the Spirit Pearl, and now having formed a Nine-pattern Divine Pill seldom seen even in legends, having been reforged by golden lightning, comparing their physiques was like comparing Heaven and Earth.

"You little bastard, when you get to the underworld, blame Taiyi for not teaching you how to behave!"

"Ah—"

The Spirit Pearl cried out in pain as Nezha’s grip nearly crushed his fist.

The pain almost made him shatter his teeth, twisting his facial features.

Yet Nezha refused to let go, and unable to break free, he used his left hand to summon the Golden Brick granted by Taiyi.

The Golden Brick floated into the air, emitting ten thousand rays of golden light, blinding the eyes and severing the senses.

Nezha, taken aback, found facing this magic treasure of the Golden Brick the second time more daunting than the first. As he retreated, he grabbed both Da Hei and Lv Zhu’er, breaking through the wall with his back and withdrawing to the street, finally seeing clarity.

Seeing the Golden Brick hadn’t struck, Nezha looked up to find the Spirit Pearl already riding the Wind Fire Wheel in mid-air.

"Aaah—, Nezha! Stop your arrogance! If you have the guts, follow me outside the city for a battle!"

The Spirit Pearl brandished an iron spear, and Nezha, unfazed by him, gave two instructions to Lv Zhu’er and immediately chased after him like a shadow.
