Chapter 3958: Yang Dao Comparison

Alex understood very well that he had a much higher chance of winning the next duel if it were about their physique and constitution. After all, he could hardly imagine someone having a better body than him.

However, despite the greatness of his Sun God’s body, it was difficult to use it in a way that could convince people that he was the one who needed to be a god of Fire and Yang. The Sun God’s body was many things, but it wasn’t flashy.

Half the things it did, it did inside of his body. And the other half could not be associated with Yang and Fire, especially if people didn’t even know what the Sun God’s body was to begin with.

If it was something he could just add to the end of the last duel, it would’ve been great. But having it be its own thing entirely would not work in the way Alex wanted.

As such, the only logical choice here was to compare their Daos.

And so, he announced the next battle to be the same.

"Yang Daos?" the Fire God asked with a narrowed look in his eyes. After a short moment, he nodded. "Go ahead. Show us what you have."

Alex began. He had been the one to suggest it, so it was only right that he was the one to begin it.

"Let’s start with the simplest one of all," he said and raised his palm. Powerful Yang aura flowed around it right away, most of it appearing from the world around him.

He let them all feel it, the Dao that was the root of all other Yang Daos. It was what governed the balance and flow of Yang in all things.

The crowd made some quiet murmurs, but there wasn’t much noise this time around as everything else they had shown before this had been much greater in impact.

Still, a few made some comments regarding how difficult it was to learn Yang and Yin Daos.

"Of course," Ashmaker said as he raised his own hand. "The simplest one."

Powerful aura gathered in his palm as well, much stronger than what Alex had produced, though not much more intense. It was the same Dao as Alex’s, just produced by a Celestial instead, making it appear better. The strength of the Dao should have been irrelevant to the contest, but the audience didn’t look at it that way.

Alex could see that many were wowed by the Fire God’s Dao more than they were with his. He frowned.

"Continue," the Fire God said.

Alex needed to pull their attention immediately, so he did so. He created his next Dao, which was the one he had already shown to the people before.

Dao of Yang Heat.

Yang heat was Yang made tangible as heat, a warmth that was capable of melting, burning, and refining any and all things. It was the Dao closest to the Fire Daos, for it was through it that Yang was connected to Fire.

A pulsing wave of heat exploded out from where Alex was, a type of heat that seemed to simply exist in order to harm rather than do anything else.

The Fire God let out a sharp snort. "I have that too."

The same pulsing heat spread out from him as well, only it was stronger. Many of the gods had to actively defend against the heat, lest the weaker people around them get burned.

The Fire God stopped soon after, but his actions had already left enough of an impact on the audience.

Alex frowned even more now. ’I should have guessed he would have those,’ he thought. ’He’s not a Fire God for no reason.’

Alex could only pray he didn’t have more.

"Continue," the Fire God said, more as a command than anything.

Alex chose to ignore the provocative voice and focused on himself. He immediately concentrated on the next Dao and produced it.

The Dao of Radiance.

This was the Dao of outward presence. It was the brilliance that spread from one source and filled everything around it. It was through this Dao precisely that the Sun could be so far away and still be a dominant figure in life all around the world.

Alex had learned this Dao the latest of all, having comprehended it just a few years prior. Sadly, this was not a surprise to most people as he could tell they had all sensed him learning it.

Alex radiated the aura outward from himself, appearing as a beacon of light that reached everyone in every nook and corner of the arena. While there wasn’t much surprise, there were plenty of people who began whispering to their neighbors at a quicker pace or simply made comments.

Alex could hear some of them, and while they weren’t that astonished when it came to him having learned the Dao of Radiance in itself, the fact that he had learned three Yang Daos had been quite surprising instead. It wasn’t so easy to learn a single one of the Daos, and here Alex had learned three.

That made Alex feel a little better about the whole contest. Though, a part of him worried what was going to happen next.

He turned toward the Fire God, who stared at him in consternation. After considering it for a moment, Ashmaker smiled.

"You win this one."

Alex paused.

"I’m sorry?"

Ashmaker shrugged. "You win the comparison. You are better than me when it comes to Yang Dao."

That was the last thing Alex could have ever considered Ashmaker saying in this instance. The crowd seemed puzzled as well. The last thing they would have expected was for the Fire God to just... give up.

"Are you saying you have no more Daos to show?" Alex asked.

"You can consider it that," Ashmaker said.

Alex’s eyes narrowed. Why was this man doing this? Had he really known only two Yang Daos?

’No,’ a thought came to Alex right then. ’He knows I have another Yang Dao, so he’s allowing me to win before I can show it to the others. I won’t let that happen.’
