Mu Chen turned to Xin Xiu "Even though you said you will follow me anywhere and assist me with anything. But I know your strength is also more or less on par with both of them."
He then continued "I don't want to be a burden to you Xiu. I felt guilty and powerless for not doing anything for you. I want to release you from this place and take you with me to visit the outer world and experience everything. But, with my current condition, I have no power to do anything to help you either."
Xin Xiu stared at him without saying anything with a calm expression on her face.
Mu Chen eyes turned sharper " Now I longer wanted to remain weakling and powerless. I will do whatever it takes to become more powerful and gain more influence. I will go through any hardships and trials that will come forward to me. In the future, I want to be the person who can help you with anything and want all of you to rely on me. If you all put a little bit of faith in me, I believe that I won't let any of you down."
Mu Chen said those words confidently. His eyes filled with determination. He made an oath to himself in his mind that he will protect and cherish everyone who is close to his heart.
All the four ladies could see that Mu Chen was not just saying these words to satisfy them, rather he was saying those words from his heart.
Zhao Feng chuckled and said in a mysterious tone, " I appreciate your thoughts. But, this world is very very dangerous and filled with viciousness and ruthlessness. I will see how far you will progress hereafter."
Mu Chen was elated by Zhao Feng words.'It means that they are giving him a chance right?' Mu Chen wondered.
"Hump" Yue Ling snorted and said in an indifferent voice, "Do whatever you want."
Xin Xiu only smiled at Mu Chen, without saying anything.
Tang Li had the same nonchalant look on her face while staring at Mu Chen. It seems that she had nothing to say at this moment.
"I am glad that all four of you accepted me." Mu Chen said with a big grin on his face. Mu Chen thought that they would beat him up. Instead they are all calm and composed.
Yue Ling glared at Mu Chen coldly.
Mu Chen stopped grinning after seeing Yue Ling's cold gaze.
Zhao Feng's mouth twitched after hearing Mu Chen's words. She said coldly "hey don't get full of yourself. Even in this world, with your cultivation base, you are nobody in their eyes."
"If you compare this world's high level cultivator to the upper world. They will address them as trash."
"In their eyes, with their power levels, they will trample over anyone without any care at all."
Zhao Feng's words sent chills down Mu Chen's spine. Yue Ling also shivered after hearing Zhao Feng's words.
Zhao Feng continued " What are you going to do? In this vast world, now you are merely considered as an ant."
Mu Chen's complexion turned pale.
"How are you planning to topple all of them? If you start to walk down the cultivation path, It will be harder for you."
"While you keep raising your powers, on the other side you will gain more and more enemies, because of envy, jealousy and fear."
Mu Chen now really felt helpless. He is ashamed of himself, because of how useless and powerless he was. Even though Zhao Feng's words stabbed his heart. He cannot refute her words even one bit. Because that was an undeniable truth.
Zhao Feng said" Even in this world you become a powerful entity. How long will it take for you to achieve those levels?"
"Me and Tang Li, are from above the upper world. We are more powerful entities in that world. How can you hope to be your woman?"
"There are many powerful and influential mens are there. But we didn't even bother to look at anyone."
"But now you are here. What will you do if any danger comes upon us? Do you have the ability to face that? With only having Divine God blessing, who was even not very powerful in the first place. you cannot even lift their hairs, without proper training."
"We didn't want our man to give us any treasures or kingdom under our feets. We can deal with onyone in the world. Atleast we want our man to be powerful enough to protect himself and his family from potential dangers lurking in this world."
Mu Chen didn't even open his mouth to say any words. He was standing like a rock without move an inch
Xin Xiu and Yie Ling wanted to stop Zhao Feng from speaking. But Zhao Feng signalled them to not intervene from the beginning. So they knew that Zhao Feng was doing this for a purpose.
For what to achieve? They don't know. They silently stood and watched the scene. They hope that Mu Chen will do something to pass the Zhao Feng test.
Mu Chen pondered in his mind, looking for an answer for Zhao Feng questions. Deep in his thoughts. Suddenly his consciousness was pulled into a dark place. There was no light. Only pitch black in all the directions.
He was standing there and searching the place where he was suddenly transported to.
"So you want power huh?"
Mu Chen heard a voice suddenly.
"Who are you? Where am I? Show yourself to me."
Suddenly a dark smoke like faceless being standing in front of Mu Chen.
Mu Chen startled, but he sensed no danger from the opposite being. He calmed down a bit. Even if he wanted to do anything, he didn't have the power to do so.
"Answer me young man. Do you seek power? Do you want to protect your loved ones?" That faceless person asked Mu Chen once again.
Mu Chen stared at the person in front of him, he felt a familiar feeling from it. Without waiting for a second he answered.
"I need power. I want to become powerful. I no longer want to remain weakling and useless."
Mu Chen said firmly.
