"Interfered with?!!!" Zhang Zhao was stunned when he heard that.
Then, looking tense, he spread out his Spiritual Energy perception and surveyed the surroundings.
A few seconds later, Zhang Zhao frowned and said to the injured Mu Qi,
"I sensed the situation around us, but didn't detect the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Energy. Are you sure someone interfered with you?"
Mu Qi grew somewhat irritated. "What do you mean by that? Could it be that I turned into this state by doing it to myself?"
Zhang Zhao raised a hand and scratched his head awkwardly. "Don't be angry. I was just saying it casually. Don't take it to heart."
"Give me some paper, quick," Mu Qi said.
"Sure." Zhang Zhao rummaged around in his pocket, then said to his companion, "I used up the rest of the paper when I went to the bathroom earlier. Wait here. I'll go buy some at the convenience store over there."
"Then hurry."
"Got it."
Zhang Zhao hurried away and soon entered a convenience store.
Standing beneath a tree by the roadside, Mu Qi was feeling unbearably depressed.
He had thought his plan was foolproof, yet it had failed the moment it began. This was a result he never would have expected, no matter how much he thought about it.
"Who exactly interfered with my ability?"
Just now, when Mu Qi had used his ability, it had been interrupted by interference before it even touched the target.
It had happened far too suddenly, leaving Mu Qi completely caught off guard.
When he had spread out his Spiritual Energy perception to search for the enemy who had interfered with him, he had found nothing at all in the surrounding area, just like Zhang Zhao.
"Phew..."
Mu Qi took several deep breaths, calming his emotions somewhat.
