The rippling energy chain in midair bounced up as though it had been electrocuted. In the blink of an eye, a circular energy body even taller than Chen Mu appeared in front of him.
It was like a round mirror made of dark gold, smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting everything in front of it.
The energy chain was the frame of the energy mirror, which revealed a classical charm.
Sang Hanshui opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw the person in front of him, he quivered.
By the time he discovered that he couldn't move his fingers and that the apparatus on his wrist had been removed, his face was ashen.
Chen Mu's mood was good, and the haze in his heart dissipated quite a bit.
He was no longer the kind of person who could be trampled on like he had been before. Moreover, he had a powerful backer like Wei-ah. What did he have to fear?
When Chen Mu entered the training room, Wei-ah was already waiting for him, with a little boy beside him.
When Chen Mu saw Wei-ah, he said with a smile, "Fortunately, you're here. Otherwise, I would have been miserable." He then casually threw Sang Hanshui on the floor.
Chen Mu didn't expect Wei-ah to respond. His gaze fell more on the little boy beside Wei-ah.
The little boy was about 12 or 13, with dark skin, a round bald head, and two thick black eyebrows that looked as though they had been painted with ink. His face was meticulous, and he looked very much like Wei-ah.
He didn't say a word as he stood beside Wei-ah, but his eyes showed a trace of curiosity about Chen Mu.
He had been fumbling with the Golden Word Shackle for some time and was quite familiar with it.
Even if someone else knew the word, they might not be able to use it quickly. But for him, as long as he knew the word, what followed would be very simple.
He only had to take the inverse method and convert the word "mirror" into the symbol represented by the syllables, and he could quickly find the corresponding energy composition.
Chen Mu also wanted to see what Bu Mo's level was like. Although Wei-ah was usually taciturn, his vision was extremely high.
He had never thought of taking a disciple when he was with the Moqi Clan. Apart from himself, Bu Mo was the only one who had moved him.
He had spent a lot of energy gathering information about the Golden Word Shackle all those years.
He had a good understanding of this card that he had never seen before.
For the Chichi Trading Firm, it not only solved their current crisis, but it was also an excellent opportunity for expansion.
But the clever Ah Sang also understood that the death of the Miu father and son would become the fuse for chaos in all of Zargan.
What should the Chichi Trading Firm do in this chaos? Not only could they survive in this maelstrom, but they could also seize the opportunity to rise.
He needed to figure out the nature of this energy structure.
Without another word, Bu Mo stepped forward.
He was like a cheetah, and his pounce was quite imposing.
Since he was still in the growth period, he was only about 1.5 meters tall, but his body was thick. Chen Mu could feel the power contained in his muscles when he moved.
"Mmmm." The expression on Wei-ah's face didn't change for ten thousand years. "His name is Bu Mo."
Chen Mu said calmly, "I still have some questions to ask you."
What happened at that moment?
Chen Mu felt it was very interesting. Wei-ah and Bu Mo were standing together, one big and one small. Whether it was their behavior or their demeanor, they were very similar, as though they had been cast from the same mold.
"Stop."
But, he had only said it once, and that Qiao Yuan had easily used it!
"Why didn't you kill me?" Sang Hanshui's voice was hoarse and low.
Just as Wei-ah's voice fell, Bu Mo retreated to his side, his chest heaving up and down. But, it could be seen that he was forcefully maintaining the same indifference as Wei-ah.
The more Sang Hanshui thought about it, the more likely it was. He felt his mouth go dry, and he was frightened by his own thoughts.
Seeing Bu Mo so absorbed in learning everything about Wei-ah, Chen Mu felt very happy.
Wei-ah was one of the few people he cared about.
Wei-ah turned his head to Chen Mu and said, "You do it yourself." He then took Bu Mo to a corner of the training room.
That was the best training room in the Chichi Trading Firm, with all the facilities inside.
Card artisans also had physical training, so there were quite a few facilities related to physical training.
"Is this the apprentice you were talking about last time?" Chen Mu asked with some curiosity.
The two of them punched and kicked, and their figures changed. The two figures on the field were constantly merging and separating.
Chen Mu was still a notch better.
But, that was already enough to fill him with admiration. Wei-ah had a good eye, after all!
Bu Mo's fighting style was exactly the same as Wei-ah's, full of power, speed, and precision. But, no matter where, it was a few levels lower.
Chen Mu didn't specialize in the cardless sects, but Wei-ah had always been very attentive in teaching him. He was also meticulous in his learning, and his foundation was extremely solid.
Words were very important. They were like a key.
But, words alone weren't enough. That was because there wasn't just one key, and there wasn't just one lock.
Apart from words, he also needed to find a matching lock. That was easy to say, but it was very difficult to do.
The composition of energy was ever-changing. Who knew which one was what he needed to find?
Sang Hanshui was flabbergasted. He looked dumbfounded at the dark golden energy mirror in front of Chen Mu!
Or was it that his perceptual strength was stronger than he could have imagined?
That was probably the only way he could so easily find the knack!
Wei-ah suddenly turned his head and said to Bu Mo, "Hit him."
Seeing Bu Mo so focused, Chen Mu's heart was full of comfort.
Actually, he felt a little guilty for not choosing the same path as Wei-ah.
Wei-ah naturally had nothing to say to him. The relationship between the two of them was closer than ordinary brothers.
Chen Mu was sure that if he ran into any trouble, Wei-ah would absolutely be one of the first to rush over.
Wei-ah's expression didn't change. That kind of thing was normal for him.
The more Sang Hanshui thought about it, the more frightened he became.
He suddenly thought about how he'd been captured. He still didn't know how he'd been knocked unconscious.
Chen Mu suddenly didn't know what to ask. He had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.
After a while, he finally opened his mouth. "Do you know how to use the Golden Word Shackle?"
"Mirror!" Chen Mu murmured, lost in thought.
His thought lasted as long as ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, he suddenly raised his head.
With a wave of energy, Chen Mu released the energy chain. The golden energy chain emitted a fascinating luster. Sang Hanshui on the floor couldn't help but show his infatuation again.
Sang Hanshui was still unconscious, and Chen Mu didn't have the patience to wait for him to naturally recover. He simply poured a basin of water on his face.
"Ha ha.
I never thought you'd be such an honest man. "
Sang Hanshui smiled, and his expression returned to normal. "If you had just said you'd let me go, I would have looked down on you and wouldn't have told you anything.
Well, if you have any questions, just ask. "
Bu Mo had a persevering temperament. Even Chen Mu was gritting his teeth at the pain when the fists and feet met, but Bu Mo was indifferent.
Even though he was at a disadvantage, Bu Mo's methods weren't the least bit messed up and he was unusually calm.
As the fight went on, he showed great adaptability and started to gradually adapt to Chen Mu's attack rhythm, advancing and retreating appropriately.
The appreciation in Chen Mu's heart grew stronger.
He really didn't understand how Wei-ah could see such a thing as talent.
No matter how he looked at it, Bu Mo was an unremarkable little kid. Apart from his somewhat thicker build, he wasn't much different from any other kid.
That seemed to prove his own conjecture.
Could Qiao Yuan be hiding his strength?
Thinking of that, he couldn't help but shiver.
Given the strength Qiao Yuan had just shown, if he were still hiding his strength, then how terrifying would his strength be?
"I only know a little."
Sang Hanshui answered without thinking, "Unless we can find its inheritance, otherwise, who can decipher its true usage?
I once saw some records about the [Golden Word Shackle] in a unique biography. It said that the [Golden Word Shackle] had twelve single syllables and thirty-six double syllables. A double syllable was formed by combining two single syllables, but not just any two single syllables could be combined to form a double syllable.
Of the 12 single-syllables, six are recorded: Explosion, Binding, Protection, Mirror, Thorn, and Ring. I don't know about the other six.
The double-syllables aren't recorded. "
"Not bad!
Not bad at all!
You're a lot more awesome than I was back then! "Chen Mu was full of praise.
Once he got back to the Chichi Trading Firm, Chen Mu threw down the words, "No one is allowed to come in without my permission." He then went into the training room.
After so many days, Sang was quite familiar with his routine and didn't have much of an expression of surprise.
She also had a lot of things she needed to do. The sudden death of the Mou family father and son would undoubtedly cause the Southern Star Firm to sink into chaos.
Her heartbeat sped up, but she needed to calmly size up the situation.
No matter which power was in the maelstrom, they were all much bigger than her, and any one of them could crush her to pieces with a little finger.
Wei-ah rubbed Bu Mo's bald head and said to him, "His name is Chen Mu, and you have to listen to him."
"Ha ha, I never thought I would have any value." He showed a self-mocking expression and looked at Chen Mu. "Are you done asking?"
Could this guy really be one of those so-called geniuses?
His gaze fell on Chen Mu's incredibly ugly face, feeling that the title of genius and that face were really too different.
Moreover, Qiao Yuan didn't look young, and calling him a genius was a little inappropriate.
Bu Mo was limited by his age, his body hadn't formed, and his strength wasn't enough.
On top of that, the time he had studied with Wei-ah was too short. As long as he went through a period of systematic training, Chen Mu believed it would be very difficult for him to rely only on the cardless sects to fight him.
Chen Mu completely didn't notice Sang Hanshui's strangeness. All his attention was drawn to the energy mirror in front of him.
Chen Mu hadn't thought Sang Hanshui would ask that. After thinking about it, he very honestly said, "I will do my best to lessen your pain." The implication was that he would still kill him, but he would be a little more straightforward when he did it.
"Mmmm." Although Bu Mo didn't quite understand, he still nodded his smooth little head.
Wei-ah and Chen Mu had been hanging around for a long time and were familiar with the facilities and equipment, so he guided Bu Mo in his training.
Chen Mu's eyes opened wide and he shouted, "Mirror!"
Bu Mo was full of curiosity about the equipment he'd never seen before, and his enthusiasm for training soared.
Suddenly, Chen Mu was full of confidence about the trip!
But, although he had successfully found the corresponding energy composition, it didn't mean he was very familiar with it.
