The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Matthew stared at the oval sphere for a few seconds and then walked up to the altar.

When he arrived in front of the sphere, Matthew did not take action immediately, but walked around the sphere.

Seeing this, Shou Weng also nodded slightly.

Judging from Matthew's current actions, it at least shows that Matthew is not a rash person.

After Matthew walked around the sphere, he reached out and gently stroked the surface of the sphere a few times.

The sphere looks very hard, but after touching it, I found that the surface is not the hard shell as I imagined, but slightly soft.

However, when Matthew tried again, he found that he couldn't press it anymore.

After trying a few times, Matthew withdrew his hand.

The moment he retracted his hand, he turned his palm into a fist and punched the sphere at an extremely fast speed.

Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard.

The sphere also shook a few times.

Although it was shaking, the sphere showed no signs of cracking and the surface was intact.

Matthew didn't react to this.

The punch just now was just a test.

Shou Weng said that he had tried many times and had never succeeded, so how could he succeed because of his punch?

Similarly, Shou Weng could see that Matthew's punch was a test, so he continued to stand there and watch.

Taking a deep breath, Matthew raised his fist and hit the sphere again.

The first time, he only used 30% of his strength.

This time, 50% of the strength was directly mobilized.

After this punch, the sphere began to shake violently.

It even started to spin.

Moreover, the surface of the sphere began to emit bursts of blue light.

"Yes, only a few demon kings were able to achieve this level before, but this level of strength is not enough." Shou Weng nodded and said.

Matthew nodded after hearing this, shook his arms, and began to gather his strength again.

Since someone had already completed an attack of this magnitude, he simply increased his strength to about 80%.

"boom!"

When this punch landed.

There was a loud noise.

The sphere was directly knocked away by a punch.

However, when the sphere touched the edge of the altar, it was immediately blocked by a blue light curtain that suddenly appeared.

The sphere bounced back after it touched the blue light curtain.

After flying around inside the altar for a while, the sphere finally returned to its original position.

Matthew stared at the sphere, but still did not see any signs of cracks on the surface.

"Fellow Daoist, have you used your full strength?" asked the old man Shou.

There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Not yet. I only used 80% of my strength just now." Matthew grinned.

"Okay, then let's use all our strength next time." Upon hearing this, Shou Weng's eyes lit up and he smiled.

After he finished speaking, Matthew did not do anything else.

He clasped his hands together, and streaks of yellow light appeared between his fingers, constantly circling around them.

Soon, a faint yellow light covered the palm of Matthew's right hand.

This yellow light may seem very ordinary, but Shou Weng can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary.

Matthew let out a low shout, and his fist covered in yellow light immediately smashed towards the sphere.

But what surprised Shou Weng was that after this contact, no sound was made.

It was as if Matthew's punch had missed.

But Shou Weng saw clearly that Matthew had indeed hit the sphere.

Moreover, this time the sphere did not react at all, not even shaking.

Just when Shou Weng was puzzled, a very slight clicking sound suddenly was heard in this quiet cave.

This is the sound of something breaking.

The turbidity in Shou Weng's eyes disappeared, replaced by a gleam of brilliance.

Because, as he watched, a crack appeared on the surface of the sphere.

Although it was very subtle and small, Shou Weng could still see it clearly.

Shou Weng moved and immediately appeared on the altar.

Like Matthew, he also quickly rotated around the sphere.

"A crack has appeared. Not bad, not bad. Fellow Daoist Ma can continue." Shou Weng nodded with satisfaction after the inspection.

Just when he was about to return to his original place and continue watching Matthew's actions, Matthew called him.

"Senior, wait a moment."

Hearing Matthew's words, Shou Weng was slightly stunned, stopped, and looked at Matthew with some confusion.

"Before that, let's complete our deal first." Matthew grinned.

"Are you afraid that I will regret it later?"

Seeing that Matthew was still talking about the transaction at this time, Shou Weng's face immediately showed displeasure and his voice became colder.

"From beginning to end, I didn't see the Mingxin Zhuling Fruit. I have already promised you to come here, and I have done it, so the deal is done. As for what to do next, that is another deal. We should finish our previous things first." Matthew said calmly to Shou Weng.

"You are threatening me! It's been a long time since I met someone who dares to threaten me."

When Shou Weng heard this, his aura suddenly changed, and he looked at Matthew with coldness in his eyes.

"That's someone else. Although I don't want to cause trouble, I won't work for others for nothing. If you feel uncomfortable, then let's have a fight. Anyway, I have already fought with Elder Wu, so this time won't make a difference." Matthew shrugged indifferently.

Seeing Matthew's attitude, Shou Weng began to look at Matthew seriously.

He definitely knew about the fight between Elder Wu and Matthew, but he did not ask Elder Wu what the situation was at that time.

Judging from Matthew's current attitude, he doesn't look like he's suffered any loss.

Things have developed to this point, and Shou Weng is unwilling to give up all his efforts.

I had calculated Matthew's situation very carefully when I was doing the deal.

He thought everything was under his control, especially Matthew's subsequent performance was within his expectations.

Shou Weng didn't think of going back on the previous deal, he just wanted Matthew to finish his work here.

But things did not develop as he wished.

He had taken advantage of the transaction before, and Matthew now wanted to take it back.

Now, Shou Weng has some understanding of Matthew.

That person will never suffer any loss.

"I can promise to complete the deal ahead of time, and even make other deals with you, but you must honestly tell me how confident you are that you can break that thing. If you don't have that ability, the previous deal can still be completed, but don't even think about making other deals later."

Shou Weng was silent for a moment and then spoke.

In the current situation, he had to make concessions, but he would not completely obey Matthew's wishes.
