Although Zhao Hai was certain that it was just a projection, he did not dare to underestimate it at all. This projection brought him an immense pressure, a feeling he had never experienced before. It was precisely because of this pressure that Zhao Hai understood this person's strength was extraordinary.
As soon as the projection appeared, it turned to glance at the scene, then displayed a somewhat extraordinary expression before turning to Yun Cai and the others, saying, "What business do you have to ask me?" Zhao Hai noticed that this person was very impolite when addressing Yun Cai and the others; he referred to them as "you" instead of "calling me" or "finding me." Instead, he used the term "asking me," which indicated that his status was likely higher than that of Yun Cai.
Indeed, Yun Cai bowed to this person and said, "I have met the supreme deity. We have come here today to serve the supreme deity." However, this person interrupted him, saying, "You are afraid of delaying my business, so you specially ask for my help."
The man glanced at Zhao Hai, sneering, "A mere foundation establishment stage is blocking your way. What use do you have for him?"
Yun Cai appeared quite fearful of this person; he immediately lowered his head and said, "In response to the supreme deity, although this person's strength is ordinary, his various methods are numerous. We truly have no way to kill him in a short time, which is why we ask for the supreme deity's help." The man looked at Zhao Hai, slightly nodded, and said, "You work for me, and I will naturally assist you. Just remember to work diligently for me, and I will handle this person."
Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Kid, seeing you so young yet achieving such accomplishments, you must be a genius. What a pity that today, you must die at my hands."
Zhao Hai looked at this person and said coldly, "Is the magic circle that changes spatial laws taught to them by the divine race something you taught them?" The man did not expect Zhao Hai to ask this question; he was slightly taken aback, then looked at Zhao Hai with curiosity and said, "Young man, you are not simple. You actually thought of that right away. Hahaha, that's right. That formation was taught by me. Otherwise, with these useless tools, how could they possibly change a spatial law? Young man, if it were a different situation, I might have liked you and taken you as my servant, but unfortunately, you must die today!"
Zhao Hai coldly said, "I am not interested in being someone else's dog. If you want to kill me, then go ahead. I suspect there are plenty of restrictions for you in this space. I wonder how much of your strength you can use and how long you can stay here?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the man was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhao Hai deeply and said, "Good, young man, you are truly clever. Indeed, I cannot stay in this space for too long, nor can I use all my strength, but it is enough to deal with you."
Zhao Hai laughed heartily and said, "You are merely a projection. No matter how strong you are, how can you compare to your real body? Even if you are a nascent soul stage expert, what can you do to me?"
Hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically. He coldly stared at Zhao Hai and said, "Who exactly are you? In this space, no one should know the term 'nascent soul.' Who are you?"
Zhao Hai calmed down and coldly looked at the man, saying, "Why should I tell you?" When Zhao Hai mentioned the term "nascent soul," he was actually testing the man because earlier he had used the term "foundation establishment."
Zhao Hai, who read various novels on Earth, was not unfamiliar with this term. Anyone who has read a fantasy novel would know this term, which nearly exists in all fantasy novels. This is why Zhao Hai used a term from such a novel to test him, checking if he had heard of it. If the man had not heard of it, he would not have reacted, just like Yun Cai and the others, who obviously did not know the term and had no special reaction.
