On Mu Chen's body, not even the slightest fluctuation of Dou Qi's breath could be detected!
There are only two possibilities: one is that the other party is an ordinary person with no cultivation, and the other is that the other party's strength is much higher than his, and has reached the highest state of completely restrained aura and returning to nature!
And Mu Chen, obviously cannot be the first one!
What shocked Qin Xiao even more was Mu Chen's current state.
The face that was once pale and bloodless is now rosy and full of energy.
There is no longer any morbidity or depression between the brows, instead there is a kind of peace and calmness from the inside out, even with an indescribable sense of majesty.
It is a temperament that naturally emerges after a leap in life level!
Where is this still the sick man with half a foot in the gate of hell?!
This is clearly a strong man in excellent condition and unfathomable!
Just when Qin Xiao's mind went blank and he stood there dumbfounded, Mu Chen seemed to have noticed his arrival, stopped what he was doing, raised his head, looked at him gently, with a familiar smile on his face, but with much more confidence than before, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Oh, it's junior Qin Xiao. Congratulations on breaking through to Dou Wang. Why, do you want to eat at the Medicine Spirit Pavilion today too?"
He pointed at the huge monster on the ground, and his tone was as normal as saying that he bought a cabbage today.
"Just in time, I just went to the back mountain to catch Sixth-order Demonic Beast Earth Flame Rhinoceros with its head and eyes closed. The meat is quite tender."
"It will be tidied up in a while. Let's eat together and think of it as a celebration for you."
Sixth-order Demonic Beast?
A powerful existence equivalent to the human Dou Emperor level?
Did he catch it casually? The meat is still fresh and tender?!
Qin Xiao opened his mouth, but found that he could not pronounce a single syllable.
He looked at Mu Chen's gentle smile, felt the bottomless, ocean-like aura on the other person's body, although he couldn't detect it, but the invisible sense of oppression was real, and then listened to the understatement but earth-shattering words.
All the doubts and sneers he had before turned into the most bitter sarcasm and slapped him hard on the face.
It turns out the world is not crazy.
What's crazy is that his understanding was still stuck on dozens of days ago.
He, the newly promoted Dou Wang, Inner Academy, the former Strong Ranking and the first Thunder-Fire Asura, looked so ridiculous and insignificant in front of a Dou Zong who could easily capture Sixth-order Demonic Beast and whose breath was as deep as an abyss.
An indescribable complex of emotions surged into my heart, including shock, shame, and a sense of powerlessness that had been severely left behind by the tide of the times.
The previous desire to show off had long since disappeared, leaving only a sense of absurdity and a reexamination of one's own strength.
Qin Xiao's mind was buzzing, and almost by instinct, he walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down.
His eyes were still fixed on the huge Earth Flame Rhinoceros corpse, feeling the ferocious aura that still remained even after death, making his heart palpitate.
"You can't be wrong, this is definitely a Dou Emperor level monster! And looking at the energy fluctuations, I'm afraid it's at least five-star, or even Six-star Dou Huang strong!"
Qin Xiao's heart was in turmoil. With his strength that had just broken through One-star Dou Wang, facing this kind of existence, it would be a blessing to be able to escape from its claws. As for beheading?
That is simply a foolish dream!
But what did Mu Chen just say?
"You just went to the back mountain and got caught without opening your eyes?"
His tone was as relaxed as plucking a carrot in the vegetable garden!
The huge contrast in strength made Qin Xiao's throat dry. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at Mu Chen who was skillfully skinning and deboning, completing a piece of art with smooth movements. He asked in a voice with dryness and awe that he didn't even notice.
"Mu Chen Senior, what is going on? Do you still have this level of cultivation in your body?"
He really couldn't connect the unfathomable strong man in front of him, handling Sixth-order Demonic Beast with his bare hands, and the sick man in his memory who needed help.
When Mu Chen heard this, he kept moving his hands and just smiled helplessly. There was a trace of emotion in that smile that he found incredible. He spread his hands and spoke honestly.
"To be honest, Junior Qin Xiao, I'm a little confused right now as to what exactly is going on."
He pointed at his chest, then at the huge monster, and said.
"I can only tell you that my recovery and even my current level of cultivation are all thanks to Brother Jiang."
"The strange disease on my body is not a disease at all, but an extremely vicious curse."
"It was Jiang Donghua who helped me find the root cause and solve it. The process is complicated and dangerous, but the result is, well, as you can see."
Mu Chen paused, with sincere gratitude and a hint of admiration for Jiang Donghua's ability on his face, and continued.
"So, if you ask me what's going on, I really can't tell you. You have to ask the real owner later."
He looked at the sky and smiled.
"Calculate the time, Dong Hua should be here soon. Today's Earth Flame Rhinoceros was specially brought for a tooth-beating ceremony."
As he spoke, Mu Chen skillfully cut off one of Earth Flame Rhinoceros's thick front legs with a knife. The flesh of the front legs showed a kind of marble pattern, with a faint flow of Fire attribute energy.
He weighed it and smiled at Qin Xiao.
"You are in luck. This thing is a five-Six-star Dou Huang powerful monster. It is full of treasures, especially the front leg meat. I have heard some senior gluttons say before that the meat is soft and elastic, and the pure Fire attribute energy it contains is of great benefit to cultivation. It is a rare delicacy!"
"When Dong Hua comes, I'll get it for you to eat. I'm sure you'll never forget it!"
Qin Xiao Listening to Mu Chen's words, looking at the monster meat emitting powerful energy fluctuations, and hearing these keywords again, I felt that the amount of information was huge, and my mind became even more confused.
That new student Jiang Donghua may not only be Dou Wang himself, but he can also solve the curse that even the elder Inner Academy is helpless to do and indirectly create a Dou Zong?!
What is the origin of this Jiang Donghua?!
The pride and complacency that he had originally gained from breaking through Dou Wang was shattered to pieces after witnessing the transformation of Mu Chen and hearing even more incredible things about Jiang Donghua.
He sat on the stone bench, watching Mu Chen handle Sixth-order Demonic Beast easily and freely, which was enough to make Inner Academy most of the elders prepare for it. He smelled the strange meaty aroma that began to spread gradually, and there was only one thought left in his mind.
This world seems to be completely different from before he went into seclusion.
And the center of all these changes seems to point to the mysterious new student Jiang Donghua.
He is now extremely looking forward to it, and with a hint of anxiety, he wants to see with his own eyes who this Jiang Donghua is who is so highly praised by Mu Chen and can create such miracles.
