"Though you are only at the Qi and Blood Realm, you already possess strength and mental power greater than those at the Xiantian Human Flower level. Chen Mo, you truly deserve the title of True Martial Sect's number one genius. Xiang Tianhao is no longer your match."
Sensing the mental fluctuations that could launch an attack on him at any moment, Elder Jiang's tone abruptly changed, his gaze turning cold.
"But a genius who has not yet grown cannot be called a powerhouse. In the Apothecary Hall, whether in cultivation or Alchemy, I am the strongest. So even if someone is to temporarily assume the position of chief, that person can only be me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, incomparably violent mental fluctuations erupted from his entire body. The Mental Barrier Chen Mo had created was like fragile glass, countless cracks visible to the naked eye appearing across it.
In just a few breaths, it shattered outright.
Chen Mo did not retreat. Feeling Elder Jiang's mental strength, which far surpassed his own, his expression remained as calm as ever.
"So Elder Jiang does not intend to give me an explanation."
"Impudent!" Elder Jiang's mental power crashed toward him like mountains toppling and seas overturning.
Feeling as though he were a small boat sailing through raging waters, liable to capsize at any moment, Chen Mo stood rooted in place. Ignoring the worried looks on Xun Yi and the others behind him, he remained composed and unruffled.
"Acting your age without earning its respect!"
His mental power erupted at full force and met the attack head-on.
He was clearly far inferior to an established Innate powerhouse like Elder Jiang, who had condensed the Earth Flower, but he would not be instantly crushed in a battle of mental power.
That was enough!
