"You really are strong. You qualify to be this young lady's companion."
"Since you killed one of my companions, you can take his place."
Liu Wan'er spoke as though it were only natural, her expression utterly composed.
For one, Liu Wan'er had a powerful background, one that the Northern Spiritual Territory could not compare with.
For another, Liu Wan'er had ample confidence in her own strength. Even after seeing Mu Yuan easily kill Zhang Hu, who was in the late Spiritual Movement Realm, she still believed she could crush Mu Yuan.
However, Liu Wan'er preferred to conquer others with her own strength and rarely relied on her background.
In that respect, she was rather similar to Mu Yuan.
"You think you're stronger than me?"
Mu Yuan was amused by the somewhat tsundere Liu Wan'er before him.
"That's right."
Liu Wan'er nodded and said,
"The gap between the Spirit Wheel Realm and the Spiritual Movement Realm is enormous. Besides, I've already reached the peak of the early Spirit Wheel Realm. It's even harder to fight above one's level then. Don't tell me you can fight someone at the peak of the early Spirit Wheel Realm despite being below them!"
Liu Wan'er's words were full of confidence and pride.
"What if I told you that not long ago, I accidentally slaughtered this White Spirit Ape King?"
Mu Yuan looked very modest, but the feat in his words was anything but modest.
"You mean I'm inferior to you?"
Liu Wan'er snorted heavily, her eyes gradually turning cold.
"Of course."
"So it would be more appropriate for you to be my companion."
Mu Yuan nodded, completely unfazed.
"Hehe..."
Liu Wan'er laughed, the sound somewhat grating as her expression grew even colder.
She had not expected Mu Yuan to say such a thing.
In her eyes, a wise man submitted to circumstances.
Yet Mu Yuan not only refused, but even declared that she should become his companion.
Zhao Hu's expression darkened to the extreme.
If Liu Wan'er had not stopped him, he would have rushed forward long ago.
Liu Wan'er was a beauty, but she was also exceptionally proud and competitive!
"Since you're so incapable of appreciating kindness, I'll let you experience the power of the Spirit Wheel Realm!"
Her voice carried dissatisfaction and anger.
The next moment.
A terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure, vastly stronger than the Spiritual Movement Realm, swept out like a storm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhao Hu could not withstand that Spiritual Energy pressure at all. His body flew backward in a miserable state as he shot Mu Yuan a deep look.
"Kid, Miss only wants to give you a warning. She hasn't struck ruthlessly. Consider yourself lucky!"
Feeling the Spiritual Energy pressure at the peak of the early Spirit Wheel Realm, Mu Yuan curled his lips.
It still fell somewhat short compared to the White Spirit Ape King's pressure.
Three Dragon Elephant phantoms emerged within his Void Apertures. At the same time, the points of light deep within Mu Yuan's body seemed to respond as they began shining once more.
Boom!
The Spiritual Energy within Mu Yuan's body surged like a flood.
And that was not all.
He immediately circulated the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force. His Golden Spiritual Energy began vibrating rapidly as layer upon layer of amplification rippled outward.
One layer... five layers... ten layers... thirteen layers...
The Golden Spiritual Energy blooming from his body also spread outward, faintly showing signs of surpassing Liu Wan'er's Spiritual Energy pressure.
Yet when the Spiritual Energy amplification reached twenty-five layers, Mu Yuan did not stop.
As he became increasingly proficient with the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force during this time, its amplification limit was far more than this!
Mu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp as a blade.
Boom!
A faint buzzing sound seemed to emerge from his sea of qi as Mu Yuan's body suddenly trembled.
Thirty layers!
Golden Spiritual Energy erupted from Mu Yuan's body. The oppression generated by that powerful energy instantly and completely suppressed Liu Wan'er's Spiritual Energy.
"What?"
"He actually suppressed Miss's Spiritual Energy!"
Zhao Hu was utterly horrified.
Even Liu Wan'er's eyes widened at that moment as she stared at Mu Yuan in disbelief, her cherry lips forming an "O."
"The peak of the early Spirit Wheel Realm? I think it's just average."
Mu Yuan's casual words made Liu Wan'er's face flush red.
The confidence she had possessed now collapsed before Mu Yuan like a landslide!
It was a blatant slap across her face!
Liu Wan'er flew into a rage from embarrassment and struck.
Her hand formed a fist seal, dazzling like gold. She activated the Spirit Emperor Fist, descending like a meteor from the heavens as it swept ruthlessly toward Mu Yuan.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, Liu Wan'er's fist had smashed into the spot where Mu Yuan had been standing, kicking up a sky-shaking cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, a deep pit half a meter deep had appeared where Mu Yuan had originally stood.
For the sake of combat, Liu Wan'er wore a short skirt.
But do not think there was any advantage to be gained.
Because Liu Wan'er also wore safety shorts, no matter how large her movements were, she could not be exposed.
However, Liu Wan'er's most terrifying trait was her speed.
She had likely cultivated some kind of movement spiritual art. Her movement technique had reached the level of the middle Spirit Wheel Realm, though it was still far inferior to Mu Yuan's.
That was because Mu Yuan had reached the state where body, mind, and sword became one while cultivating the Sword Drawing Art.
When Liu Wan'er attacked, he completed the Sword Drawing Art and teleported in that instant.
After mastering the Sword Drawing Art and comprehending the state where body, mind, and sword became one, Mu Yuan discovered another way to use it.
That was Sword Drawing teleportation. Though it could not be used as an offensive technique, its teleportation speed was unparalleled under heaven.
So when Liu Wan'er's punch missed and she searched for Mu Yuan's figure, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
"Hm?"
Because she clearly felt a chill on her neck.
She turned her head.
Mu Yuan stood behind her, holding a longsword with its blade resting against her neck.
"How... how can you be so fast?"
"I didn't see anything at all."
Liu Wan'er could not believe it.
She did not even know what had happened. The enemy who had clearly been in front of her had appeared behind her, with a sword already at her neck.
Killing her would clearly be as easy as killing a chicken.
"He actually defeated Miss."
"Zhang Long didn't die unjustly!"
"Since when have Northern Spiritual Academy students become this powerful?"
Mu Yuan's strength once again overturned Zhao Hu's entire worldview.
He was also grateful that Miss had stopped him. Otherwise, he would have gone down to accompany Zhang Long just now.
"Eh? Your companion wanted to kill me just now, and you turned a blind eye. Then I'll kill you too!"
Mu Yuan's voice was extremely calm.
Yet it was filled with endless icy killing intent.
Liu Wan'er finally recovered from her immense shock, a trace of fear still on her face.
She rarely felt fear!
Especially when facing people of her own generation.
But this time, she truly felt afraid.
And it was because of a Northern Spiritual Academy student from the remote Northern Spiritual Territory of Hundred Spirits Heaven, someone who was only in the middle Spiritual Movement Realm!
"No! Don't! Didn't you just ask me to be your companion? I'll agree, isn't that enough?"
Liu Wan'er was terrified. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Mu Yuan, filled with expectation.
However!
