Yin Shang faced Wudi as the battles raged around them. Both combatants exchanged nonchalant smirks, sizing each other up. Yin Shang chuckled lightly and remarked, "You appear confident despite being a whole realm below me." Wudi, still not taking the situation seriously, replied, "You've only just entered the Martial Dao Realm, and yet, I've defeated foes far stronger."
To his surprise, Yin Shang retorted, "You and I differ from them. We have both slain adversaries above our realm. I consolidated my skills deeply before advancing. You underestimate me too much, third prince." As he spoke, Yin Shang advanced, slashing out with his sword. Wudi responded in kind, seemingly mirroring Yin Shang's movements. The collision of their blades revealed their initial moves to be mere tests of strength, with neither yielding ground.
