Pilgrim Hui'an, Muzha

However, upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, the Muzha did not back down, puffing out his chest and looking at Sun Wukong with an arrogant expression.

"Oh, you're so brave!"

Sun Wukong was immediately intrigued when he saw the Muzha in this form.

"I'm super brave, I'm super strong, okay!"

Unexpectedly, after Sun Wukong said those words, Muzha readily admitted it.

"Alright, alright, I agree to your request. I'll fight you right now."

"However, I do have my principles. I don't kill nameless nobodies with my stick. Tell me your background."

Sun Wukong then explained his principles for going into battle.

"Then listen to me carefully. I am Pilgrim Hui'an of South Sea Bodhisattva Guanyin. My father is Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing. I also have a younger brother named Nezha, who is extremely powerful."

After hearing Sun Wukong's principles, Muzha told him about his origins as requested.

"Are you Nezha's older brother?"

Sun Wukong looked at the Muzha with suspicion.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"I am Nezha, his real brother, and his biological brother at that."

Muzha answered Sun Wukong with some doubt.

"I'm just curious, Nezha is very strong and seems like a nice person, so why does he have an older brother who seems a bit dim-witted and isn't that strong?"

Sun Wukong directly voiced his doubts to Muzha.

"Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson for your blatant barking."

Muzha was furious after hearing Sun Wukong's words, and immediately took out his Law Treasure. Unexpectedly, he, like Sun Wukong, also used a staff.

However, when Muzha's staff skills were placed in front of Sun Wukong, it was like Great Witch, like showing off one's skills in front of an expert, or like trying to wield a great sword in front of Guan Yu, completely humiliating himself.

Just as Muzha started running, swinging his staff at Sun Wukong, before the staff even reached Sun Wukong Muzha. His Jingu Bang suddenly lengthened in his hand, directly knocking away the falling Sun Wukong Muzha.

Then Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang retracted to its normal size, while the Muzha, after being knocked away, landed on the ground and tumbled several times, getting covered in dust and becoming ragged. If he were to join the Beggars' Sect now, he would probably be the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

"Damn it, you stinky monkey, you actually launched a sneak attack!"

After being struck by Sun Wukong, Muzha struggled to his feet and said to Sun Wukong with dissatisfaction.

"Fine, you say I attacked you from behind? Then I'll stand here and take your blow. Bring it on, I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

Seeing Muzha's appearance, Sun Wukong chuckled and tried on the clothes, urging him to attack him. Sun Wukong clearly stated that he would not tolerate Muzha's attack.

"Really? Then I'm coming!"

Muzha, after asking that question, and without waiting for Sun Wukong's reply, he directly swung his staff and charged towards Sun Wukong.

When Muzha reached Sun Wukong, he suddenly leaped up and swung his staff at Sun Wukong. The staff struck Sun Wukong's shoulder, but Sun Wukong didn't even flinch. After Muzha removed his staff, Sun Wukong merely shook his shoulder as if he were loosening his muscles.

"How could this guy be completely unharmed?"

"Never mind, give him another hit. I don't believe he can withstand one of my blows."

Muzha was shocked by what he saw. Sun Wukong was completely unharmed after he had hit him hard with his staff. Unconvinced, he wanted to attack Sun Wukong a few more times.

Then Muzha took a step back and charged at Sun Wukong with all his might. His staff was aimed straight at Sun Wukong's heart. However, just as Muzha's staff was about to pierce Sun Wukong's chest, Sun Wukong swung his Jingu Bang and with a simple upward flick, knocked the staff that Muzha was holding tightly with both hands away.

Muzha was now frozen in place, staring dumbfounded at the scene. After knocking the staff out of Muzha's hand, Sun Wukong thrust out another staff. Sun Wukong didn't even move his body; instead, the Jingu Bang suddenly stretched forward and sent Muzha flying.

This time, when Muzha got up, he was dressed like a beggar, disheveled and ragged, and he beat Sun Wukong to a pulp.

"Have you realized your own limitations now?"

"Now that you've realized the truth, hurry back. I'll spare your life for Nezha's sake."

Sun Wukong then spoke these words to Muzha, signaling him to go back and stop bothering him. Without waiting for Muzha's reply, he waved to him and walked into his Water Curtain Cave.

"Is he really that strong?"

Muzha stared at Sun Wukong's retreating figure with an incredulous expression, thinking to himself with disbelief.

After Muzha picked up the staff that Sun Wukong had knocked away, his fighting spirit was rekindled, and he wanted to fight Sun Wukong again. However, after taking only a few steps toward the Water Curtain Cave, he felt that there was no need for him to humiliate himself.

To avoid asking Sun Wukong for another fight, only to have Sun Wukong agree immediately and then be instantly defeated before even making a move, would be incredibly embarrassing.

"Sigh, let's go. Let's go back and tell Father about this, and then return to Heavenly Court to tell Master about the battle situation here."

At this moment, Muzha sighed, thinking helplessly to himself.

Then he rode on his auspicious cloud and rushed towards where Li Jin, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was.

"Father, I'm sorry, I was no match for that demon monkey. His strength was simply too great, and I couldn't hold on any longer."

When Muzha returned to the place where Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, had won, the first thing he said to him was that he had been defeated by Sun Wukong Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

"It's okay, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Even if Father were to face him, Father might not be able to defeat him.

"Aren't you supposed to report the situation here to the Jade Emperor and your master South Sea Bodhisattva Guanyin?"

Let's go now.

Dawdling Heavenly King Li Jing, offered a few words of comfort to Muzha, then reminded Muzha that he still had a mission entrusted to him by his master.

"Father, I almost forgot. I came here to take the mining rights back to my master and the Jade Emperor."

"In that case, I'll be going now."

At this moment, Muzha finally realized what he had come here to do, and then he bid farewell to Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.
