Without a doubt, given the circumstances at that time, once Zhou Tian took the initiative, Pan Shi certainly had no possibility of turning a blind eye to it.
Everything was as Zhou Tian had expected; regardless of what Pan Shi was thinking at the time, when Zhou Tian appeared near his territory, he immediately elicited Pan Shi’s response.
As a result, Zhou Tian had barely arrived at the Ancient Ruins Space for less than five minutes before Pan Shi, his old opponent, had already hurriedly presented himself in front of him.

Seeing Zhou Tian, Pan Shi burst out in anger. Just as he had thought before, after the outcome of their combat spread, the statements previously made by Pan Shi instantly became a laughingstock.
By nature, with Pan Shi’s temperament, he had offended many people, and although those beings found him unpleasant, they had no method against him. After all, even among those ancient beings, Pan Shi was considered a member with powerful strength.
However, before the fight with Zhou Tian, since he completely underestimated Zhou Tian’s strength, Pan Shi had naturally made many harsh statements. It wouldn’t have mattered if Pan Shi had boasted a bit, as long as he ultimately defeated Zhou Tian, then even if his words were somewhat exaggerated, it would still have been a normal occurrence.
But the problem arose when Pan Shi misjudged Zhou Tian’s strength, which resulted in not only failing to gain any advantage during their combat but even suffering a small loss at Zhou Tian’s hands. Consequently, Pan Shi’s earlier remarks naturally turned into a huge joke. Even if it didn’t pose any threat to Pan Shi, some ancient beings who always found him disagreeable didn’t mind enjoying this joke at the time.
As a result, although nobody truly believed that being defeated by Zhou Tian was unacceptable, Pan Shi did indeed hear plenty of mockery during this period. And when facing those beings he couldn’t clean up, even knowing they were mocking him, Pan Shi could only bite back his anger.
Therefore, given the environment at that time, one could guess that Pan Shi had already harbored deep grudges against Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian didn’t leave the Main Plane, so even though Pan Shi hated him, he was indeed helpless at that time, because as a survivor from several epochs ago, if Pan Shi dared to appear on the Main Plane, his fate would undoubtedly be dire.
But now, Zhou Tian not only left the Main Plane but had also come to his territory. Faced with this situation, Pan Shi naturally couldn’t remain indifferent.
In Pan Shi’s view, Zhou Tian’s actions were a blatant provocation.
In their previous combat, Zhou Tian didn’t suffer under him and even gained some advantage. Now, with Zhou Tian returning while bearing psychological effects, Pan Shi felt as though Zhou Tian was saying he could come and go in his territory as he pleased. Faced with the current situation, Pan Shi naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Not to mention that Pan Shi most certainly wouldn’t be willing to acknowledge this situation, even if deep down he had already recognized Zhou Tian’s strength. Seeing Zhou Tian’s performance in his territory, Pan Shi could say nothing that would allow him to do nothing.
Having already lost face once because of Zhou Tian, Pan Shi was unable to accept being humiliated by Zhou Tian again.
Therefore, regardless of Zhou Tian’s actual strength and given Pan Shi’s circumstances at the time, he had no possibility of simply watching Zhou Tian take over his territory.
Thus, with a mixture of old grudges and no way out, Pan Shi naturally launched an attack on Zhou Tian straight away.
In any case, there was no possibility for Pan Shi to coexist peacefully with Zhou Tian. After all, the loss he suffered at Zhou Tian’s hands had been too great at first.
However, facing Pan Shi’s attack, Zhou Tian was completely indifferent.
It wasn’t that Zhou Tian underestimated his opponent before him; the main reason was that Zhou Tian had dealt with him before and, based on the outcome of their previous encounters, Zhou Tian had never really been at a disadvantage. To put it frankly, with the Immortal Body of a Human Emperor, Zhou Tian already stood on an invincible ground beforehand.
No matter the extent of the battle, the best outcome Pan Shi could hope for was to drive Zhou Tian back; the idea that he could kill Zhou Tian was merely delusional.
Convinced that Pan Shi had no way to deal with him, Zhou Tian naturally didn’t need to worry about his own safety during their combat.
Let Pan Shi attack as he would; as long as Zhou Tian achieved his effect and made a breakthrough from his bottleneck during the combat with Pan Shi, he wouldn’t care about anything else.
Consequently, because his purpose for coming was clear, Zhou Tian also didn’t waste words with Pan Shi and almost without thinking, he met Pan Shi’s attack head-on.
If a battle was what was wanted, then a battle it would be. To Zhou Tian at that moment, Pan Shi was merely a tool to be utilized. As long as he could fulfill his intended effect, what Pan Shi thought of his actions didn’t concern Zhou Tian at all.
And in that situation, with one party provoking and the other enraged, their intense confrontation was no surprise at all. (To be continued.
