"I hope that you won't appear in front of Luo Li."
When these words entered Mu Chen's ears, his slightly flickering eyes slowly focused. He stared at the person named Chu Qi in front of him and a smile appeared on his face: "Luo Li's pursuer?"
"Looking at your appearance, you should be someone who came from the Spiritual Road, right?"
Mu Chen smiled and said: "Since you're someone from the Spiritual Road, then you should know more or less about me. I don't want to care about how much you like Luo Li, but even Ji Xuan doesn't have the qualifications to say such words in front of me. Who do you think you are?"
Chu Qi stared at Mu Chen and slowly said: "Ji Xuan is indeed very powerful. However, even if you were him, I would still say the same thing. Furthermore, you do have a great reputation in the Spiritual Road, but I feel that you haven't recognized reality."
"Right now, this is no longer the Spiritual Road. You are also not the Blood Calamity Mu Chen. You are just a person who has just reached the Spirit Stage. Your strength is enough to make me think that you are not worthy of her. At the same time, it also gives me some confidence."
Chu Qi's expression was very serious as he said: "She is very outstanding, and there are too many people who like her. Things like today will probably happen more often in the future. However, she likes you, and I don't want to see you being defeated by others. If that's the case, then it's better for me to do it."
"You're quite an extreme person."
Mu Chen looked at Chu Qi strangely and immediately said: "Have you been in contact with Luo Li before?"
"She saved me once in the Spiritual Road, so I spent some time with her." Chu Qi said.
"I don't think that she even bothered with you during that time, right?" Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh. With his understanding of Luo Li, it was impossible for her to ignore anyone.
With her personality, it was very normal for her to ignore others.
Chu Qi's expression stiffened. He felt a little uneasy because Mu Chen was right.
Ever since Luo Li had saved her once, she had never communicated with him again. She quietly did her own thing and cultivated.
Hunting, resting, she seemed to have completely forgotten about the person beside her.
However, the more she was like this, the more Chu Qi liked her. That short period of time was the best time he had in the Spiritual Road. Until one day, when he had to leave, he could not help but go up to her and say, "I like you."
He saw the young girl with clear glass-like eyes give him a strange look.
After a while, she finally opened her mouth and said the only thing she could say to him.
"I like Mu Chen.
Don't follow me anymore. "
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving behind a dumbfounded Chu Qi.
Chu Qi's expression changed slightly.
He stared at Mu Chen's handsome face, which had a trace of a smile. He could not help but feel a little jealous.
Why was he able to make her, who did not care about anything other than cultivation, pay special attention to him?
Chu Qi could feel that when she said Mu Chen's name, an extremely rare softness flashed across her delicate and quiet face.
"I didn't think too much about it. If the current you had the strength to match your reputation in the Spiritual Road, perhaps I would not have come to find you. But unfortunately, the current you looks very weak."
Chu Qi slowly said, "So, I don't think you have the qualifications to be with her."
This was a person who was somewhat stubborn, but did not have a high EQ.
Mu Chen frowned slightly and said, "What do you want?"
"Fight with me. If you lose, don't appear in front of her again. She's too outstanding, so similar things will continue to happen in the future. If you're too weak, you'll be defeated and trampled by others. That will only make her sad. Rather than that, it's better to eliminate that possibility." Chu Qi said.
"You think that you'll have a chance then?" Mu Chen asked.
"No." Chu Qi shook his head and said, "I just don't want to see her sad appearance when the person she likes is too weak and you're defeated and trampled by others in the future."
Mu Chen had a strange expression in his eyes. This guy really made people speechless.
"I'm not interested in proving anything to you."
Mu Chen did not continue to tangle with him and brushed past him. He immediately stopped and said, "But I won't let anyone hurt her, no matter who it is."
Chu Qi frowned and said, "With your current strength, you're overestimating yourself by saying such words."
Mu Chen helplessly sighed. Finally, he did not say anything and walked forward.
"Boom!"
Vigorous Spiritual Energy fluctuations suddenly swept out from behind, causing the entire transaction area to be shocked. Countless gazes were cast over, looking at Chu Qi, whose body was filled with surging Spiritual Energy.
Chu Qi took a step forward, causing the earth to seemingly tremble. Then, he sent a punch out, causing cracks to appear on the ground along with the wind from the punch. Like lightning, the punch shot towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen abruptly turned around as a dark Spiritual Energy surged out from his palm. Then, he slammed his palm against the fierce fist winds that were sweeping towards him.
Bang!
A Spiritual Energy shockwave exploded out, causing cracks to appear on the surrounding ground. Those who were nearby were also sent flying.
"Don't go overboard."
Mu Chen's black eyes gradually turned cold. He stared at Chu Qi, frowning as he slowly said.
"Cowering. The current you doesn't have any of the courage of Blood Calamity Mu Chen."
Chu Qi's figure moved, transforming into a shadow as he flew out of the transaction area, landing on a mountain peak outside. His rumbling roar was wrapped in Spiritual Energy, echoing like thunder in the air, "Mu Chen, show me what you're really up to. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. However, I don't believe that the person that Luo Li likes is a coward!"
Hua.
At this moment, an uproar erupted within the transaction grounds. Shortly after, numerous gazes were cast towards the slender youth within the transaction grounds. He's the Blood Calamity, Mu Chen, who's been the talk of the town recently?
He was Mu Chen?
Here, there was no lack of people who had also come out from the Spiritual Road. Their gazes turned sharp at this moment, as they sized up the youth that had caused a huge commotion in the Spiritual Road.
Mu Chen looked at Chu Qi, who was on the mountain peak, as his expression turned cold. This fellow's pestering had made him feel a little angry.
"Mu Chen!"
Ye Qingling's voice sounded from nearby. She had rushed over with Sun 'er and the rest. Her eyes were filled with worry. Clearly, she had recognized Chu Qi. The latter was considered a celebrity in this area.
"Be careful."
Ye Qingling spoke out. She had heard Chu Qi's voice and knew the purpose of his challenge. At this moment, with Mu Chen's character, it was obvious that he would accept the challenge.
Mu Chen nodded his head slightly towards them. His body moved, and he rushed out of the transaction area. He appeared on the mountain peak opposite of Chu Qi. Although he did not have any grudges with Chu Qi, no matter what, the latter had come to him. If Mu Chen continued to endure, others would think that he, Mu Chen, was afraid.
Furthermore, what Chu Qi said was correct. Luo Li was very outstanding, and there would be more and more people who liked her. If he wanted to eliminate trouble like Chu Qi, there was only one way, and that was to reveal a strength that would cause others to be afraid of him.
Chu Qi should have already stepped into the Spirit Stage Middle Phase. His strength was not weak, and he was much stronger than Ge Hai. Perhaps, this was the reason why he had the confidence to take the initiative to challenge him.
However, Mu Chen would let him understand that his confidence was not as strong as he imagined it to be.
There were a few figures standing on the mountain peak not far away from the transaction area. Their gazes were focused on the two figures facing each other on the mountain peak.
"Chu Qi really did make a move." At the head of the crowd, a handsome boy said as he helplessly watched the scene.
"Is that Mu Chen?
Spirit Stage Initial Phase. Although he is quite powerful, he should still be lacking compared to boss, right? "A person behind the handsome boy said.
The handsome boy faintly smiled. He looked at the slender figure with a complicated expression and said, "If it wasn't for the Spiritual Road delaying his cultivation for a year, coupled with the fact that he was expelled midway and lost the Spiritual Energy Empowerment, the current him would probably be at the same level as Ji Xuan and Yang Hong, the people at the peak of the Spiritual Road."
When the crowd heard this, they secretly clicked their tongues. Was Mu Chen really that powerful?
"However, there aren't so many ifs in this world. Just as Chu Qi said, the current Mu Chen is only at the Spirit Stage Initial Phase. This strength is too inconsistent with his reputation in the Spiritual Road." The handsome boy slowly said.
"At the very least, the current Chu Qi can still suppress him."
The handsome boy stared at the two people facing each other on the mountain peak. Chu Qi wanted to defeat Mu Chen and let the latter understand that he was not worthy of Luo Li. At the same time, perhaps Mu Chen also wanted to use him to correct his reputation. Recently, the news about Mu Chen had spread throughout this area. Perhaps, there were many people who secretly came from the Spiritual Road who were ready to make a move. Mu Chen's reputation in the Spiritual Road was too great, but he did not seem to have the strength to match his reputation. Therefore, this was the perfect opportunity to step on him.
The feeling of stepping on someone that you once looked up to would always give you a perverted sense of pleasure.
With Mu Chen's personality, it was obvious that he hated this kind of endless challenge. Therefore, Chu Qi, who was sent over, was a good opponent. He could use this opportunity to make an example out of Chu Qi and let those who were interested in him understand that even if he was kicked out of the Spiritual Road midway, he was still Mu Chen. He was the person who made Ji Xuan, Yang Hong and the other peak figures of the Spiritual Road fear him.
Both of them had their own goals, but as for who would be able to achieve it, it would depend on them.
The handsome young man slowly exhaled as he sensed the gradually tensing atmosphere in the sky. This battle was extremely important to both of them.
