Teaching Mu Zhan a Lesson

Mu Zhan stood before him, shouting arrogantly. Fa Wutian raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Mu Zhan sneered. "Nonsense! But if you're scared, kneel down and kowtow a few times now. If I'm in a good mood, I might consider letting you go!"

Fa Wutian smiled at that, and he smiled very happily.

This was the first time in his life he had encountered someone so arrogant.

He had originally planned to leave Mu Zhan some dignity out of respect for the Mu Clan.

But Mu Zhan clearly had no regard for him at all!

Then there was no need for him to be polite!

A trace of coldness gradually appeared in Fa Wutian's eyes.

Mu Zhan scoffed. "Kid, what do you mean by that? Don't tell me you think you can challenge me? What a joke!"

But his answer was a slap across the face!

Smack!!!

With a crisp crack, Mu Zhan's right cheek immediately swelled, and blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth.

The smell of blood soon filled the air!

"You..."

Mu Zhan clutched his swollen cheek, staring at Fa Wutian with wide eyes in disbelief.

He had not seen Fa Wutian's movement at all when he was struck. He had not even had time to react!

There were only two possibilities: either the difference in strength between them was too great, or Fa Wutian had cultivated a movement-type Dou Technique!

And it had to be a movement Dou Technique of at least the Xuan rank!

Otherwise, there was no way he could have failed to see Fa Wutian attack.

The truth was exactly as he had guessed. Fa Wutian had indeed used a mid-Xuan-rank movement Dou Technique—Wind-Swept Shadow!

Although Fama did not possess many high-rank cultivation methods, he had countless Dou Techniques!

Over the course of his life, he had accumulated dozens of Xuan-rank Dou Techniques by refining medicine for others!

Thus, Fa Wutian was equipped with Xuan-rank techniques from head to toe!

Of course, Flame Mantra was an exception!

After all, he had no Heavenly Flame for it to evolve with yet.

Even so, Mu Zhan was no match for him!

Having recovered from his shock, Mu Zhan assumed this was Fa Wutian's only advantage. He immediately sneered. "Kid, you don't think one movement Dou Technique is enough to defeat me, do you? I've changed my mind. Not only am I going to teach you a lesson, I'm taking that movement Dou Technique too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Zhan slammed his fist into the ground.

"Take this—Wooden Prison!"

With Mu Zhan's furious shout, dozens of wrist-thick vines suddenly erupted around him, weaving together like a spiderweb and trapping Fa Wutian inside.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Mu Zhan was delighted.

He swaggered up to Fa Wutian and said smugly, "Kid, I advise you not to waste your effort! My Wooden Prison is also a Xuan-rank Dou Technique! Unless you're far stronger than me, you'll never break out of this cage! Hahaha!!!"

"Oh, really?"

Fa Wutian's lips curled upward, and Azure Flame suddenly appeared in his hand.

The instant Azure Flame touched the cage, Mu Zhan's Wooden Prison collapsed completely!

"It seems you forgot that your vines fear fire!"

Mu Zhan gritted his teeth in anger.

"I didn't expect you to possess such a Beast Flame! Tell me, who exactly are you?"

Even as foolish as Mu Zhan was, he understood upon seeing the Azure Flame in Fa Wutian's hand that the person before him was definitely an alchemist!

Otherwise, Fa Wutian would never have refined a Beast Flame.

Moreover, judging by its power, the Beast Flame in Fa Wutian's hand was likely no weaker than a fifth-tier flame!

With such a Beast Flame, and the ability to wield Xuan-rank Dou Techniques at such a young age, he refused to believe Fa Wutian had no background!

"Who am I?"

Hearing Mu Zhan's question, Fa Wutian walked over to Ya Fei with an amused expression, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and whispered, "Sister Ya Fei, he's asking who your man is."

At those words, Ya Fei's lovely face instantly flushed red.

Still, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Who he is is none of your business! What about you? Are you still fighting or not? If not, get lost. And don't come harass me again! Otherwise, I'll have him beat you up every time he sees you!"

Mu Zhan's face turned red with rage.

If he had known Fa Wutian's background, he would have rushed forward and taught him a lesson long ago.

After all, he had long regarded Ya Fei as his private possession. He would not allow anyone else to touch her!

Yet now, not only was she nestled in Fa Wutian's arms, she was defending him at every turn!

How could he possibly swallow this insult?

"Hmph, since you refuse to reveal your identity, don't blame me for bullying someone younger than me!"

The moment his words fell, Mu Zhan erupted with the aura of a seven-star Dou Practitioner!

He had not used his full strength in their earlier exchange. He had not even taken it seriously.

Otherwise, he would not have used only a controlling Dou Technique.

But now, their intimate behavior had completely enraged him, and he had decided to show no mercy!

"Are you finally getting serious?"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Mu Zhan, Fa Wutian looked at him with interest.

"Falling Maple Palm!"

The next moment, Mu Zhan stomped fiercely on the ground, causing the earth to crack apart as force surged toward Fa Wutian!

This was clearly a mid-Xuan-rank Dou Technique!

Its power was far beyond anything Wooden Prison could compare to!

Fa Wutian snorted coldly and used a mid-Xuan-rank Dou Technique as well.

"Heaven-Opening Palm!"

With a loud shout, both of them launched their palm strikes at the same time.

Bang! Bang!

As their palm strikes collided, countless shards of stone flew into the air.

But after only a brief stalemate, Mu Zhan was sent flying.

Pfft!!!

Mu Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Fa Wutian in utter shock and cried out incredulously, "You're a Dou Master?!!!"

In that clash, he had clearly felt that Fa Wutian's strength was absolutely not something a Dou Practitioner could possess!

Fa Wutian nodded openly at Mu Zhan's question.

Seeing Fa Wutian admit it, Mu Zhan immediately laughed at himself. "Mu Zhan, Mu Zhan! You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to provoke a Dou Master!"

Still unwilling to accept it, Mu Zhan asked, "Someone who can break through to the Dou Master realm at such an age cannot be some nobody! Who exactly are you?"

"Me? The president of the Alchemist Association is my grandfather. Who do you think I am?"

Mu Zhan immediately came to a realization upon hearing that.

"You're Fa Wutian?!!"

Once he learned that this person was Fa Wutian, Mu Zhan was utterly stunned.

He had heard Fa Wutian's name two years ago.

That was because Fa Wutian had broken through to the Dou Practitioner realm at the age of ten, an astonishing achievement.

At the time, the entire Gama Empire had been praising Fa Wutian as a peerless genius.

He had learned of this child everyone else admired from his elders.

Because he had been jealous of Fa Wutian, he had not attended Fa Wutian's celebration banquet for becoming a Dou Practitioner.

That was why he had not recognized Fa Wutian immediately.

What he had never expected was that Fa Wutian had broken through to the Dou Master realm in just two short years!
