Sun Wukong

The Seventh-tier long saber appeared out of thin air in Liu Changsheng's hand. He was about to unleash his Spiritual Power to fight the monkey head-on when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He then sheathed the longsword and dodged Sun Wukong's attack.

The reason he withdrew the offer was because he remembered the rules of the game; he was afraid that he might accidentally kill the monkey, which would be a serious problem.

One life equals one hundred points, and he still has zero points!

"Hmm?" To Liu Changsheng's great surprise, the other party's aura clung to him, making him feel like there was nowhere to hide.

Forget about the rules of the game at that moment, and quickly drew his long sword to defend himself.

"Clang!"

A sound.

"Click~"

With another bang, Liu Changsheng was sent flying, his Seventh-tier long saber cleaved in two by the blow...

"Bang~"

Liu Changsheng was slammed into the ground once again, creating a large crater.

"Hiss!" The cultivators outside the Bookstore gasped in shock at the sight.

Liu Changsheng at the Spirit Venerable realm, was actually sent flying by a single blow, his seventh-tier spiritual weapon shattered in two. Just how profound must his opponent's cultivation be? Spirit Emperor? Spirit Saint?

"How can this monkey be so strong? And the staff in its hand can actually shatter a seventh-tier spiritual weapon, it must be a ninth-tier spiritual weapon!" A cultivator looked at Sun Wukong in the projection with a shocked expression and exclaimed.

"I don't know what level of cultivation he has, but I know this Mad Scholar is in trouble," another cultivator said, watching the projection.

Inside the projection, Sun Wukong, holding his Golden Cudgel, walked to the crater Liu Changsheng had created. Looking at Liu Changsheng inside, he asked curiously, "Kid, why do I feel that the aura within you is a bit special? It seems different from mine. Are you an outsider?"

From the moment he was sent flying by Sun Wukong, Liu Changsheng knew the gap between him and the monkey was too great. He thought he was doomed and was preparing to take out his life-saving weapon from his spatial bag for a desperate fight. But upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, he immediately sat up and looked at Sun Wukong, saying, "Does this sir know about outsiders?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head, slightly puzzled, and said, "I know a little, but not much. One day, it inexplicably appeared in my mind while Rest, and when I woke up, there was a fragment next to me."

Liu Chang Kong was overjoyed and asked, "Orange?"

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Yes, Orange Fragment, but I don't know what it's for."

"Could you give it to me?" Liu Changsheng asked Covet. He never expected that he would encounter such a good thing when he fell from the sky, with the Orange Fragment being delivered to his doorstep.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong tilted his head, grinned at Liu Changsheng, and said, "I'll throw it away."

Liu Changsheng froze instantly.

"Hehe... hahaha~~ Look at you, you're killing Old Sun with laughter." Sun Wukong was amused by Liu Changsheng's expression. He got up and walked around Liu Changsheng a few times, then suddenly appeared behind him and said, "Want some?"

Liu Changsheng was so bewildered by the monkey that he didn't know what to say for a moment and stood there without answering.

"How boring, forget it." Sun Wukong was also impatient. Seeing that Liu Changsheng didn't answer, he got up and flew towards Emei Mountain, leaving behind a sentence before he left:

"Boy, you're forbidden from using your extraordinary powers within Emei Mountain, or Old Sun, won't let you off easily."

"Hey~~" Liu Changsheng opened his mouth to shout, but found that the other person had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Since he didn't know the other person's name, he had to swallow back what he was about to say.

"Why is he so powerful, yet I can't see through him?" Liu Changsheng sat in the pit, glanced at Emei Mountain, then at the broken blade in his hand, his heart filled with shock.

The sudden appearance of this monkey was a huge shock to Liu Changsheng. It looked ordinary and had no special effects, but when the two collided, the enormous force was enough to crush everything. Liu Changsheng could even feel that the monkey dissipated most of the force at the last crucial moment, otherwise he might have been killed by that blow.

"Is this the mythical world the shopkeeper spoke of?" Liu Changsheng murmured to himself, touching the broken blade in his hand.

Perhaps stunned by Sun Wukong's attack, Liu Changsheng stopped moving and just sat there in a daze, lost in thought.

"Could he have been knocked stupid?" A cultivator outside the Bookstore couldn't help but ask when he saw that Liu Changsheng hadn't moved for so long.

"Probably not... It feels like that monkey deliberately let him go. If he was really dumbfounded, why would it let him go? It would have been better to just kill him." Another cultivator offered his opinion.

"Didn't you hear their conversation just now? That monkey had Orange Fragment on it, and it knew that Liu Changsheng was an outsider. Plus, it released him now. That monkey must be Jieyin!" one cultivator Analytic.

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to agree. After all, the Mysterious Bookstore had appeared in several mission storylines recently, and the Jieyin were quite familiar to everyone.

"But that monkey didn't give Mad Scholar any tasks, did it?" a cultivator asked.

If the monkey is the Jieyin, then according to previous practice, it should have given Liu Changsheng a task, and Liu Changsheng should complete the Jieyin's task according to the requirements in order to finally obtain the Orange Fragment in the monkey's hand.

This is the normal progression of the plot.

However, the monkey inside ran away and warned Liu Changsheng not to use his Spiritual Power carelessly, otherwise it would come out and suppress him. Based on the above, the monkey didn't seem like Jieyin at all.

"Who said no task was given to Mad Scholar? They clearly asked Mad Scholar if he wanted the fragments, but he just didn't answer. Let him play the profound one," a Mad Scholar mocked.

"That's true."

Recalling their conversation, everyone realized that the monkey had indeed asked Liu Changsheng if he wanted the fragment; Liu Changsheng hadn't answered but remained silent, and the monkey left when it saw that Liu Changsheng didn't respond.

After this Analytic, everyone suddenly realized that the monkey was the Jieyin.

"Look, that Mad Scholar!" Suddenly, a cultivator pointed at the projection. Everyone looked and saw that Liu Changsheng had climbed out of the pit. Instead of using his Spiritual Power to clean the mud off his body as before, he casually patted himself off and walked towards the direction where Sun Wukong had disappeared with his broken blade.

"He should have realized by now that the monkey was the Jieyin."

"I wonder if that monkey will give him any more tasks."

"Speaking of which, although this Mad Scholar always seems to have bad luck when he first appears, his luck improves later on!"

"Yes, it has a bit of an underdog-to-hero vibe."
