Bogner shrugged. "Who knows? I don't understand why this guy would want to provoke the boss.
Poor guy, he's dead for sure! "
Xiao Liqian looked a little unconvinced. "He's Xiaobo. He won't die that easily."
Bogner laughed. Xi Ping's expression was the same, but there was a flash of disapproval in his eyes.
Even Zu Ning had died at the boss's hands. They wouldn't be surprised if the boss said he'd killed anyone else.
Their reactions caught Xiao Liqian's eyes, which shocked the intelligent woman.
Wasn't their boss a card master?
Could he be so awesome as a card artisan?
Xiaobo ran like crazy in the great hall, lest the madman catch up with him if he slowed down.
Not only that, but he also had to dodge the energy shuttles that could appear at any time.
You're chasing me, I'm chasing you, up in the sky and down on the ground.
Both of their perceptions were extremely sharp. Xiaobo had more combat experience, but Chen Mu's fighting style was undoubtedly more unconventional.
The unluckiest were the card artisans in the great hall. In order to find cover, Xiaobo simply drilled into the crowd.
It had to be said that the initial effect was pretty good. At least Chen Mu didn't randomly send out tailless shuttles.
But before Xiaobo could be happy, he was stunned to find that Chen Mu's speed had increased a bit on the ground.
Good lord, this guy was already as nimble as a loach in the sky, and he was like a ghost on the ground.
Xiaobo found that the distance between him and Chen Mu wasn't widening; it was actually getting closer.
It was only then that he suddenly remembered the fellow behind him. Just how shocking was his explosive power!
The body and explosive power of the cardless sects, the ever-changing mid-air direction, the exquisite perceptual sensitivity, and the sharp energy shuttles. What kind of freak was he?
What kind of bad luck had he run into that day?
He had actually run into such a freak!
Thinking about it again, he had actually taken the initiative to seduce such a freak!
What a sin, what a sin, what a sin!
Endless remorse flew through Xiaobo's heart. He glanced at the card artisans around him out of the corner of his eye, his heart filled with grief and indignation.
The image he had maintained for so long was completely ruined!
What made him vomit blood was that it was all ruined by his own hand.
Suddenly, Xiaobo's feet stopped, and his face turned white.
The evil power card!
It had actually been used up at that time!
Xiaobo felt like banging his head against the wall and killing himself.
After staying in the jungle for half a year and experiencing countless battles, the Power Cards on him had long since been exhausted, and he was only left with this last one.
That was why he hurried back to replenish his supplies.
God, you can't play with people like this!
Xiaobo's eyes were brimming with tears. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the guy behind him, and his footsteps halted.
Ha, we'll all die together!
Xiao Bo's face was full of pride, and a smile bloomed on his face.
The card in Chen Mu's apparatus had already been used for a long time, and the Wheel had consumed a lot of energy.
On top of that, he had just released the tailless shuttles in a frenzy, and his power card had been completely used up.
He was so engrossed in his pursuit that he didn't notice the power card. It wasn't until he felt something heavy under his feet that he suddenly came to his senses.
Having chased him there, Chen Mu had pretty much vented his anger and was about to call it a day. He hadn't expected to raise his head to see the smug expression on Xiaobo's face.
The resentment in his chest, which had just calmed down, was suddenly like a ladle of hot oil poured onto a flame, rushing up with a bang.
Without another word, Chen Mu leaped up, exerting all the strength in his feet, and pounced on Xiaobo like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain.
Seeing Chen Mu pounce on him, Xiaobo was suddenly scared out of his wits. Only then did he suddenly remember that his adversary had the body of a cardless sect!
Without a jet stream card, Xiaobo wasn't much better than an ordinary person. Just as he turned around to escape, a strong force suddenly came from his buttocks, and his whole body was sent flying!
"Wah, wah, wah, wah!"
Without waiting for him to land, Chen Mu's fists bombarded his body like a torrential storm.
Xiaobo's screams in midair immediately changed.
"Ah … Woo … Um … Ah!"
The first few low whimpers sounded as if they were coming from the chest, and the last one was sharp and resounding, with the lingering charm of climax!
Some of the jungle card artisans around had not touched a woman for several years, and the shortest had not touched one for more than half a year. Suddenly, all of them looked at Xiaobo in midair with red eyes.
In their eyes, Xiaobo, who was flying in midair, even outlined some graceful and sexy curves.
In the great hall, there was the sound of people swallowing their saliva.
But then, the screams of a pig being slaughtered suddenly smashed everyone's fantasies.
In the great hall, there was once again a chorus of sighs, and many people couldn't help but show a look of pity.
It had been a long time since he had fought with his fists!
Even at Eastern Wei Academy and with Copper, he had used a bench. The feeling of his fists hitting flesh gave Chen Mu the best vent for his ruthlessness.
Suddenly, Chen Mu seemed to have returned to his childhood as a vagabond. Although he was young, fighting was a common occurrence.
The worst time was when he had just arrived in a strange place and was surrounded and beaten by six older vagabonds.
That time, he had recuperated for a full three months, but the price they paid was much worse than he had. It was said that two of them were seriously injured and didn't make it through the winter.
Since then, he had obtained the right to beg in that area. Although the others still looked unkind, no one dared to make a move on him anymore.
It was also at that time that he met Lei Zi.
In order to resist the other vagabonds, the two who didn't know each other became good friends.
Copper's eloquence made their gains a lot more abundant, and then their conflicts with the group of vagabonds became more intense.
A small fight every three days, and a big one every five.
That kind of situation continued until Copper was adopted, when Chen Mu ran into that card master who was on his last breath.
The memories of his childhood suddenly came alive, and it was as though Chen Mu had returned to the past.
Every punch hit flesh, and the blood in his bones suddenly burst forth. Although Chen Mu wasn't baring his teeth at that time, his face was as cold as a rock, and the bright blood in his eyes formed a strong contrast, which made the impact even more intense.
Xiao Liqian covered her small mouth, looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
Was that crazy, bloodthirsty, gangster-like guy really the same youth who had been so peaceful when he had seen her that day?
And was that guy who had been beaten into a pig's head, howling, really the invincible Xiaobo from the base?
Was it that she couldn't keep up, or was the world changing too fast?
Bogner felt a chill in his heart, and seeing the shivering faces of the card artisans around him, he said, "If anyone isn't serious about their training, let the boss discipline them personally."
The card artisans around him all trembled.
Xiaobo had finally landed in midair, and before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a weight on his back.
Hiss —
The gasps in the great hall were so uniform as though someone were directing them, and everyone's expression was strangely the same. They were all in disbelief, and their eyeballs were about to fall out.
Chen Mu was actually sitting on Xiaobo's back!
It was so quiet in the great hall that you could hear a pin drop.
As soon as he saw that hateful face, Chen Mu was suddenly enraged, and he raised his fists, smashing them wildly.
Xiaobo's heart-wrenching voice reverberated in the abnormally quiet great hall, making everyone's hearts clench.
Pitiful, tsk tsk, really pitiful!
"Big brother … big brother!
Don't hit my face, I beg you, don't hit my face! "
Those who had just been sympathizing with Xiaobo were completely petrified.
Xiaobo's pleas for mercy once again brought Chen Mu back to the old days. His fists didn't stop, and he subconsciously shouted, "Do you yield?
Do you yield? "
As he shouted, his hands became faster and faster, and his fists were as dense as raindrops. In the end, Chen Mu's face was ferocious, his eyes were red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He growled, "Do you yield?"
When street kids fought, they often ended with this sentence.
Those who had just been petrified looked at each other.
"Yield!
Yield!
Big brother!
I yield!
I really yield!
I yield from the bottom of my heart to the bottom of my body! "Xiaobo said repeatedly, afraid that if he spoke any slower, he would take more punches.
Chen Mu panted heavily, and the series of punches and kicks made him feel a little tired.
But he still looked fierce, and his left hand pressed Xiaobo's head to the ground.
According to his childhood routine, if he didn't say a few harsh words at this time, it would be a waste of his victory.
"What's your name?"
"Big brother, my name is Xiaobo, you can call me little Xiaobo!"
Xiaobo wanted to put on a flattering face, but his face was squeezed out of shape by the floor, and it was really weird.
"Xiaobo?" Chen Mu was stunned, and then he was furious. "I'm hitting you!"
Without another word, he raised his fists and pounded again, until Xiaobo's tears and snot were flowing.
After the series of punches, Chen Mu immediately felt a lot better, and he asked out of habit, "Do you yield?"
"Big brother, I really yield!
I really yield!
Really! "By then, Xiaobo was already sobbing, and his face was full of tears.
Chen Mu asked fiercely, "Say it!
Who will you be with from now on? "
The tears in Xiaobo's eyes disappeared immediately, and he said in an extremely flattering tone, "Big brother!
From now on, little Xiaobo will be with you!
If you say kill, we will never set fire!
If you say anything, we will say anything!
If you want little Xiaobo's body, little Xiaobo will offer his body!
If you want little Xiaobo's heart, little Xiaobo will only have you in his heart! "
Bogner's teeth were chattering, and he pointed at Xiaobo, asking Xiao Liqian with a sluggish expression, "Is … is he really the ace you said?"
Xiao Liqian was also at a loss. "He's a little different, and I don't understand!"
Chen Mu patted the dust off his palms and got up from Xiaobo's body with a calm expression. By then, he had returned to his usual harmless appearance.
However, everyone's gazes at him were completely different from before.
Wherever he went, the crowd would subconsciously make way for him.
People's gazes at him were very complicated, with admiration, awe, and confusion.
What kind of person could ride Xiaobo and beat him into a pig's head?
Quite a few people were secretly guessing Chen Mu's identity. Such a person couldn't possibly be unknown in the Heavenly Federation.
Thinking of Chen Mu's ferocious appearance just then, they were desperately searching in their minds for what kind of infamous person could take the bait with that murderer in front of them?
Walking up to Bogner, Chen Mu had completely recovered his calm.
"Let everyone disperse."
"Yes, sir." Bogner rushed to give the order, his reaction several times faster than usual.
Chen Mu waved at Xiaobo, who had just crawled up. "Come here."
Xiaobo obediently walked over to Chen Mu. As soon as he came over, he bowed to Bogner and said fawningly, "Hello, Big Brother!" Then he bowed to Xi Ping. "Hello, Big Brother!" Then he bowed to Xiao Liqian. "Hello, Big Sister!"
Bogner and the other two looked at each other, speechless.
Xiaobo's appearance was too horrible to look at. His whole face had been completely deformed, with bruises on the left and purple on the right. His body looked as though he had just been bravely struggling but finally succumbing.
"Where's Miss Sue?
Ask her to come over, "Chen Mu asked.
Bogner rushed to ask Sue Lochiro to come over.
Sue Lochiro had just seen the fierce battle with her own eyes. Strangely, she wasn't afraid of Chen Mu's ferocity.
Once she saw Chen Mu, she couldn't help but laugh. "You were so awesome just now!"
Chen Mu's face turned a rare red, though he quickly returned to normal.
Ever since Sue Lochiro had come out, Xiaobo's gaze hadn't left her. His gaze was dull, and his mouth was wide open, drool about to drip onto his clothes.
Xi Ping quietly whispered into Xiaobo's ear, "The boss's woman. Think it over."
Xiaobo shuddered, and his gaze immediately returned to clarity. He ran to Sue Lochiro like a madman. "Sister-in-law!
Your beauty is like that of a goddess banished to the mortal world!
You are like a bright moon, shining on the earth. Oh, you are electricity, you are light, you are … "Out of the corner of his eye, he saw everyone's expressions gradually turn bad, and his tone quickly changed." No wonder. Only someone as brilliant and divine as Big Brother could be a match for the noble and elegant goddess! "
Although Xi Ping had tried his best to keep his voice down, everyone was so close that even Sue Lochiro could hear it.
Her face turned red, revealing the bashfulness of a young girl.
She wanted to retort, but she didn't know what to say. It was as though she didn't want to retort herself.
Xiao Liqian was looking at the two of them with a strange expression, her gaze sweeping between them from time to time.
Chen Mu took a look at the bashful Sue Lochiro, and his heart seemed to have been touched by something.
But, as it turned out, as long as Chen Mu wasn't provoked, his ability to control his emotions was extremely strong.
His expression was the same as usual as he said, "Miss Sue, could you help treat him a little?"
"Mmmm." Sue Lochiro made an almost imperceptible sound of agreement and activated her apparatus.
Such a bruise would be a piece of cake for a high-grade medical card artisan like Sue Lochiro.
She casually restored Xiaobo's pig-like face back to normal.
Once Xiaobo saw his face was back to normal, he was overjoyed. With a solemn expression, he removed a spare red string from his wrist and tied up his hair again, his face intoxicated with self-satisfaction.
"Get ready. We'll be leaving in a few days," Chen Mu said to Bogner and Xi Ping.
Bogner nodded. "We can leave at any time." He then glanced at Xiaobo.
Chen Mu turned to Xiaobo and said, "Are you coming with us, or staying at the base?
If you come with us, what kind of treatment do you want? "
Xiaobo muttered resentfully in a low voice, "Can I still stay in this place?
My reputation is ruined. "Sue Lochiro burst out laughing when she heard that.
Xiaobo looked up at Chen Mu and tilted his head to think carefully before saying, "You want to recruit me?
I can.
I've already told Miss Xiao the conditions. If anyone can produce a card I like, I'll serve them for three years. "
"Take a look at this card." Chen Mu pulled out the Wheel from his apparatus and handed it to Xiaobo.
Xiaobo took the Wheel and inserted it into his apparatus. He suddenly blushed. "Who can lend me a power-card?"
Xi Ping pulled out a power-card from his apparatus and handed it to Xiaobo.
Bogner scanned his surroundings and saw that Wei-ah wasn't far away. His heart immediately calmed down.
At such a close distance, no one would be able to block a blow from Wei-ah.
After inserting the power-card into his apparatus, Xiaobo's expression gradually turned serious. By then, he was like a completely different person from his previous oily, pompous, and libertine self.
"Yikes!" Xiaobo's surprised exclamation was tinged with delight.
Xiao Liqian looked at the pleasantly surprised Xiaobo, feeling very conflicted.
Xiaobo was one of the few aces on the base, and the profits he could generate alone were a lot more valuable than what hundreds of ordinary jungle card artisans could generate.
Only the existence of those aces could possibly get those rare materials, which was where the Hughes Chamber of Commerce's reputation lay.
But, if Xiaobo was successfully recruited by Chen Mu, that would mean she could get a generous reward.
If the Hughes Chamber of Commerce couldn't produce a card that would move Xiaobo, they would never be able to recruit him.
Even if Chen Mu didn't manage to recruit an ace like him that day, there would certainly be a second team or a third team that would appear.
If that was the case, it was very likely that she wouldn't get anything.
Looking at it that way, being recruited by Chen Mu would actually be the best outcome.
Having thought that through, Xiao Liqian let out a long sigh of relief and felt quite a bit better.
Xiao Liqian was a little less worried about personal gains and losses, and her curiosity immediately leapt up.
Listening to the bits and pieces that Uncle Bogner and Xi Ping had revealed, their boss had to be an awesome card master without a doubt!
But, having seen Chen Mu's ferocity that day, she was even more curious about a card made by such a ferocious person.
Moreover, being able to surprise Xiaobo had tickled her heart.
The surprise on Xiaobo's face grew more and more intense, and everyone's curiosity grew higher and higher.
Even Chen Mu was curious about what kind of power his card could display in Xiaobo's hands.
In the course of his competition with Xiaobo, he had discovered that Xiaobo's perceptual acuity was quite a bit stronger than his own.
The Wheel had such high requirements for perceptual acuity, and apart from Xiaobo in front of him, Chen Mu couldn't think of anyone else to use it on.
He didn't know how many years or months it would take for him to reach the level of being able to display the Wheel.
The further he went, the more difficult it would be.
It would be a waste to spend so many precious materials and his own effort to make a card and just put it in the card bag.
No matter how good the card was, it would be useless if it couldn't be used for battle.
Chen Mu thought about it for a while before deciding.
He hadn't thought Xiaobo would have that kind of personality, which made him hesitate for a moment.
But, his adversary's power still made him very excited.
Xiaobo's control of perception had reached the point of perfection, and many places revealed his creativity.
For example, the electrical net had nearly cost Chen Mu his life.
He hadn't thought energy could be used that way, which could be described as sinister.
If such a card artisan could join the ranks of their team, the team's battle power would immediately increase by a notch.
The environment in the Heavenly Drum Village District was cruel, and aces ran amuck there. Adding more power was always a good thing.
Xiaobo suddenly discovered something.
Dozens of amber streamers were circling around his body. The streamers were very thin but very bright, and they were moving at high speed along Xiaobo's body.
Shrouded in the amber streamers, Xiaobo looked very mysterious.
The streamers gradually converged into an amber halo, which slowly revolved around Xiaobo.
Suddenly, the amber halo broke into a ball of glowing mist, which still enveloped Xiaobo.
The amber glowing mist began to gradually fade, returning to the white mist that usually surrounded Xiaobo's body.
Chen Mu was a little surprised that he could discover so many changes in such a short time.
It seemed that the card really suited Xiaobo.
Those changes made all the onlookers exclaim again and again.
It was easy to see how many changes that kind of card could make.
Still, Xiaobo's exploration didn't stop.
What appeared next was the fist-sized halo that Chen Mu had released earlier.
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he said to Lucky Xi, "Release your attack on the halo."
Lucky Xi didn't quite understand, but he didn't hesitate. He raised his hand and shot out a few silver threads.
The silver threads weren't far from the halo, and they were suddenly strongly attracted.
Lucky Xi's expression changed as he saw the silver threads being absorbed by the halo.
The second time Lucky Xi released as many as 24 silver threads, which was the limit of what he could release at one time.
That time, the silver threads weren't shooting at the halo, but they were enveloping Xiaobo's whole body.
The amazing thing was that the silver threads were all sucked in by the halo, which was like a black hole and didn't let any of them go.
The amber halo turned silver, suffused with an intense silver light, and you could hear the subtle sizzling sound of electricity.
It looked like the halo had the effect of attracting energy, Chen Mu thought to himself.
Unlike Chen Mu, who was used to thinking about things from an academic point of view, the others felt it more directly!
A function to absorb other people's energy?
They'd never heard of it!
Without waiting for them to react, the halo suddenly brightened, and a silver light as thick as a thumb shot straight out of it.
The silver thread passed through the gaps in the crowd and hit a chair.
Zi, zi, zi!
Electric snakes danced wildly, and the chair turned to ashes in an instant!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air!
What, what is this …
Absorbing the enemy's attack and then releasing it?
Everyone there was discerning, and of course they knew what that meant!
It also meant that you would almost always be in an invincible position.
That card was really too powerful!
Everyone's expressions became complicated. There was envy, reverence, surprise as though they were looking at an alien, as well as concern.
For example, Bogner was worried that if the card was really given to Xiaobo, it would bring hidden dangers to the safety of their team.
Xiao Liqian was completely dumbfounded.
Even a fool would know the value of that card, and she was already prostrating herself in admiration of Chen Mu.
To be able to make that card, Chen Mu's card making skills were naturally without question. To be able to take out such a card just to attract a card artisan, that kind of charm was far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve.
From Xiao Liqian's point of view, Xiaobo was undoubtedly an ace, but if it were her, she would never use such a treasure to attract Xiaobo.
It could attract higher-level card artisans!
She believed that no card artisan could resist the fatal temptation of that card!
Even the card artisans of the Big Six would be willing to sell their lives for that card.
A grandmaster card master!
He was absolutely a grandmaster card master!
Xiao Liqian looked at Chen Mu with countless stars in her eyes, and she couldn't help but think about the proposal Bogner had given her two days before.
Bogner had suggested that she go with them to the Heavenly Drum Village District to develop.
She hadn't thought the proposal had any appeal before, but she couldn't help but be moved.
Still, that wasn't the end of the surprise the card had brought to everyone.
Suddenly, everyone felt their bodies become heavy, as though they were filled with lead. They felt they couldn't even lift their arms.
Even Chen Mu couldn't help but change his expression!
Gravity!
It could actually change gravity!
Everyone was looking at the apparatus on Xiaobo's wrist as though they were looking at something terrifying, full of disbelief and fear.
Apart from Chen Mu and Bogner, no one was paying attention to Xiaobo's pale face.
Chen Mu's heart eased a little. It looked like that move was also putting a huge burden on Xiaobo.
He tried moving a bit, and the gravity should have increased by about three times.
Ordinary card artisans were like carrying 200 kilograms of weight on their backs. For Chen Mu and Wei-ah, that level of gravity would have some effect on their speed, though it wouldn't be as big as ordinary card artisans.
It looked like the Wheel and Xiaobo were really a perfect match!
