Chapter 952: The Real and Fake Golden Leaf King (Part 2)

"No spirit beasts or sacred beasts?"

His body swayed, and Zhang Xuan nearly vomited blood.

He had finally come up with an excuse, thinking he could muddle through, only to hear this—he almost burst into tears on the spot.

The alien race had no spirit beasts or sacred beasts?

Then what did they have?

Could they even have a pleasant chat?

"That's not important!"

Though his heart was about to explode with frustration, he didn't show it on his face. Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "The beast pet I mentioned is actually a junior I raised from childhood, always treated as a pet. I raised him for so many years, pouring all my heart into him, but unexpectedly... he's been impersonating me all along. Truly raising a tiger to invite disaster!"

"You're full of shit!"

Golden Leaf King could no longer hold back.

You're the pet, your whole family are pets!

Boom!

With a roar of fury, he flipped his wrist, and a surge of immense power rushed out, like a curtain covering the sky, striking toward Zhang Xuan.

He was truly enraged.

He had thought he'd meet a fake impersonating him, who would be scared stiff and dare not utter a word once he showed up. But this guy... only got more excited, treating him like a son...

He had seen shameless people, but never one so shameless!

To impersonate someone with such audacity was unprecedented throughout the ages.

Ssshh!

True energy like a sword, a single strike split the surrounding air, like a torn curtain.

"So strong..."

"It's over..."

The many six-star masters behind Zhang Xuan turned pale with fear at the sight of this move.

Earlier, they had been confident in their own strength, thinking they were no worse than these aliens. Now they realized the gap was enormous.

There was simply no comparison.

It was foreseeable that if this move landed on them, they would die on the spot, beyond even the gods' rescue.

"Dogs biting dogs—serves them right!"

"Kill this bastard..."

The two masters snorted.

The aliens fighting among themselves—they were happy to watch. The fiercer the fight, the better; ideally, they'd all kill each other.

"How dare you attack this king? What audacity!"

Unexpectedly, this guy, unable to argue, struck directly. Zhang Xuan's brows twitched, but he didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his finger and pointed.

Whoosh!

His finger moved not fast, and its power seemed not very strong, yet in an instant, it emitted a chilling killing intent, like a mighty king suddenly appearing, giving a sense of bloodline suppression.

"Such pure true energy..."

Green Leaf King's pupils contracted.

As an alien, he could clearly feel the power of the other's true energy.

Though the power might be slightly inferior to the first attacker, Golden Leaf King, the purity of the true energy was even higher than his own.

That is to say, the other's royal status was genuine, even higher than his!

"Even if he's not Golden Leaf King, he must be some powerful king..." he thought.

The alien race ranked by the purity of killing true energy. This guy's purity far exceeded his, indicating his status had definitely reached king level. Even if not Golden Leaf King, he was no worse.

With such status, why impersonate someone else?

Whoosh!

As he was lost in thought, the other's finger clashed with Golden Leaf King's attack. The fingertip flashed with light, forming a barrier.

This barrier seemed formed from countless thoughts, indestructible, instantly blocking the attack. Then the finger met the energy blast and flicked lightly.

Bang!

Power surged, and Golden Leaf King's face flushed red as he involuntarily stepped back a few paces.

In the clash, the first attacker had his move easily broken, and the recoil made his blood boil... The other's strength was even greater than his!

Where did this freak come from?

"Close call!"

Unlike his shock, Zhang Xuan across from him breathed a secret sigh of relief.

He was only at Half-Saint level, while the other was a Saint Domain Fourth Layer expert. The gap was vast, with no comparison.

In desperation, he first borrowed the power of the Dean's Token.

The Dean's Token, formed from the collective will of countless academy teachers and students, could create absolute defense. Even if the opponent was Saint Domain Fourth Layer, breaking it would be difficult.

After blocking the attack, he countered with the finger bone of the Ruthless One.

The Ruthless One was still far from recovering his peak, but for a single attack, he could still contend with Saint Domain Fourth Layer. However, he could only hold out for one or two moves; any more and he'd be exposed.

"I've been thinking of old ties and reluctant to kill you. Do you still intend to slay your master?"

After repelling the opponent, Zhang Xuan raised his brows and shouted loudly.

If the fight continued, he would surely lose. First, scare the other off!

"Who exactly are you?"

After exchanging a move, he knew the other's strength was no less than his own. If they really fought, the outcome was uncertain. Golden Leaf King stopped attacking and asked, opening his mouth.

"I already told you, I am the Golden Leaf King!"

Zhang Xuan snorted and turned to look at the Green Leaf King: "If we keep arguing like this, I doubt you'll believe me. Let you be the judge!"

"Me?" The Green Leaf King was stunned.

I just said you're the fake and the one beside me is real... and now you want me to judge? How?

"Exactly. The real Golden Leaf King should know his own cultivation flaws and loopholes very well, right?" Zhang Xuan said.

"That... yes!" The Green Leaf King nodded.

A cultivator's flaws and loopholes are the greatest secrets, never revealed to others. If the other party knew them clearly, it would strongly suggest he was real.

But he was also an outsider, unaware of the Golden Leaf King's flaws. How could he judge right from wrong?

"Simple. I can state my shortcomings simultaneously with this fellow, and you judge. Whoever says more and more accurately is the real Golden Leaf King!"

Seeming to read his thoughts, Zhang Xuan said.

"State them?" The Green Leaf King hesitated, then looked at the nearby Golden Leaf King: "Brother Yin..."

"Nonsense! My [Great True Moon Art] has been cultivated to the limit, with no flaws at all!" the Golden Leaf King snorted.

"Whether there are flaws or not, only I know. I did discuss cultivation issues with you a few times, but I never went into the root causes. It's normal you don't know. If you dare not compare, that proves you're fake, and I'll trouble the Green Leaf King to capture you..."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"I'm fake?" The Golden Leaf King's face darkened: "You're full of shit!"

"If you're not fake, what's the harm in comparing? Do you think an impostor could know more than the real person?" Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"This..." The Golden Leaf King hesitated.

Anyone else would have struck and killed him on the spot, but after testing a move, the other's power surged fiercely. Even using full strength, he might not be a match.

In fact, he might even lose.

The most important thing now was to figure out the other's identity—who he was and why he was impersonating him.

"Fine, compare then! If you lose, you'll obediently reveal your identity..."

After a short pause, the Golden Leaf King said.

His cultivation technique and personal flaws were secrets among secrets, never shared with anyone. He didn't believe an impostor could know them better than he did.

"Naturally. Let's begin. You and I each send a voice transmission to the Green Leaf King... You can go first!"

Smiling, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Talking about other things might reveal flaws, but discussing shortcomings—he was the master!

The other party might not even know as much as he did.

"Fine!"

The Golden Leaf King snorted and sent a voice transmission: "This guy is strange. I do have some flaws in my cultivation, but not many. I'll tell you a few; listen to what he says, then send me a message later..."

After giving instructions, the Golden Leaf King finally spoke of several flaws in his cultivation.

No cultivation was without flaws.

The ones he mentioned were normal loopholes in the technique; even if others knew, it wouldn't matter much.

After all, flaws were one's vital points, absolutely not to be known by outsiders.

He agreed only to find out what the other could say. If he truly knew his flaws thoroughly, that would be terrifying!

"Mm!"

After hearing his flaws, the Green Leaf King nodded and looked at Zhang Xuan nearby: "Your turn!"

"Good!"

Though unaware of the content of their voice transmissions, Zhang Xuan could sense something fishy from their expressions. He smiled without exposing them and began to transmit his voice.

"The technique I cultivate is the [Great True Moon Art]. I have immersed myself in it for one thousand seven hundred and thirty-one years, currently at the fourth level. There are seven flaws in total..."

"First, this technique emphasizes killing intent, making one more prone to a murderous heart. Hence, my temper is rather violent, and I might kill at any time..."

"Second..."

"Third..."

...

Zhang Xuan's voice was calm as he quickly listed the flaws he knew.

Though detailed, the flaws he mentioned, like the other's, did not touch the core.

That is, even if the Green Leaf King learned them, he couldn't find a way to exploit or attack.

As he spoke in detail, the Green Leaf King across from him widened his eyes, filled with shock and disbelief.

What this guy said matched the Golden Leaf King's words exactly, and was even more detailed, including some cultivation specifics that, upon careful examination, were perfectly accurate.

"Could this guy really be the Golden Leaf King?"

He felt uncertain.

If he weren't the Golden Leaf King, how could he know so much?

After all, cultivation was a personal matter; even close friends or spouses often couldn't discuss many things in detail... Yet this man spoke as if reciting his own possessions. If he weren't the real person, he would doubt it himself.

"Alright, that's all I have to say... You've heard both of us. You should be able to judge who is who!"

After finishing, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly.

"This..."

The Green Leaf King hesitated, then couldn't help glancing at the Golden Leaf King aside, who anxiously sent a voice transmission.

"What did that guy say?"

"He said..."

The Green Leaf King paused, then repeated Zhang Xuan's words in full.

After hearing these words, the Golden Leaf King's face turned pale, his body involuntarily stiffened. He couldn't help staring over, as if seeing a ghost: "Who the hell are you? How do you know so much about me?"
