"Congratulations! Inner Disciple Mu Chen has passed all trials with greatest results and is qualified for Grand Celestial Convergence along with Core Disciple Gong Xiaoling, Core Disciple Hao Meng, Core Disciple Yuan Zhu and Inner Disciple Qin Liwei!"
Shen Qiqiang announced it with a little amazed gaze towards Mu Chen, Mu Chen just silently bowed in respect but it seems like there was someone who had other thoughts
"Grand Elder! This has to be wrong! He has used artifacts! He is cheating with the backing of his clan! This is utterly wrong! I can't stand here and accept his! This is injustice!"
All gazes suddenly moved over to Hao Meng who was shouting loudly from sidelines, the light of sanity in his eyes seemed to have blurred out
All his expectations and plans have been crushed, after being raised as a prideful young master from one of the top clans in the world
Cheered as a genius who got everything he wanted, Hao Meng couldn't accept Mu Chen who was hundreds of steps above him
One day just suddenly out of nowhere Mu Chen entered his life with the highest background and far superior talent gaining the attention of all elders and disciples the first day he entered
Shown astonishing achievement of purifying Forbidden territories that even Grand Elders have no solution of, rumours of Mu Chen learning directly from Alchemy Lord were still on rise and now here he is after gaining various fateful encounters from Heavenly Realm as a last man standing in trial of Astral Orb of Fate
'You expect to believe all bullshit! He is embarrassed my brother for not giving him any faces in front of the whole of Holyland, it's basic courtesy to show faces to other members of top clans
After that he also embarrassed me and left as if I'm not even an ant in his eyes! Even today he dared to mock me! I won't let it go so easily!!!'
Hao Meng's fury has overtaken his conscience, the Grand Elders and all other disciples seemed utterly surprised by Hao Meng's actions and next moment Grand Elder Shen Qiqiang just shook his head and coldly announced
"Inner Disciple Mu Chen didn't use any artifact, don't point fingers at others without proof and embarrass the reputation of our whole Holyland..."
"Ha-!?"
Hao Meng was left utterly shocked as next moment his gaze went over Mu Chen again who was openly taunting him with a smug smile over his face
"T-this!? I challenge Inner Disciple Mu Chen to an honorary duel!!!"
Hao Meng directly announced it in front of the whole crowd, everyone present there was absolutely stunned, Hao Meng clearly seemed to have been cornered for his reputation and now it was just his arrogant ego driving him mad
'Fish caught beautifully~'
Mu Chen's face was filled with a wide grin from ears to ears seeing Hao Meng's actions, Fang Huan saw the situation escalating and immediately tried to intervene but this before he could do anything Mu Chen himself stepped forward
"I accept"
Everyone is even more surprised to see Mu Chen agree so easily like this, Hao Meng on other hand was filled with joy that he hasn't felt for decades and immediately jumped in front of Mu Chen without delay and shouted
"I acknowledge that you are wise but this time you should have thought a bit more! I'm one of the greatest talents in this whole Blessed Void Immortal World who became Core Disciple of Immortal Void Holyland in mere 100,000 years of entering! You shouldn't have looked down on me so much!"
Mu Chen heard him completely and a scoff released from his mouth as next moment while ignoring him Mu Chen pointed his towards the three Grand Elders on the top of air
"Grand Elders forgive me for acting on my own like this I can't back down now after being challenged twice by the same person, as a Heir the reputation of the whole Ancient Immortal Mu Clan is at stake! Please bear witness for fairness of this duel!"
The Grand Elders were in now state of a little hesitation but understanding Mu Chen's words they also didn't had any choice but to just agree with a nod but it wasn't that they were just worried about Mu Chen here, everyone in Holyland was extremely curious about Mu Chen's combat skills as he still had to show his proper capabilities to masses since arriving to Immortal World
'A duel with Core Disciple might really show us his true strength!'
'It won't be a lie to say I'm curious too...'
'This duel is sure to be popular!'
The Grand Elders were also low key curious about Mu Chen's strength and all just went over to sidelines along with hundreds of new disciples who had their eyes on duel
"Don't take it so casually you might regret it in future!"
Mu Chen heard him and with a sarcastic smile Mu Chen commented
"Sorry... ? Senior Brother Hao Weng , did you think I cared about your feeble warnings? Especially when it comes from someone like you"
Hao Meng's face was once again filled with boiling red rage as he shouted again
"How dare a kid like you shout big words!? A mere lucky kid born in a big clan! Your mere luck won't carry you anymore! I will make sure you regret today!"
His rage was stopped by the very last thread of his sanity and Mu Chen was the devil that was going to break it right now
"Regret? Regret is a luxury that only likes of you can receive, and nothing here is luck my friend, it's all calculated, rest assured your dark future will be a testament to the consequences of underestimating me so much!"
"Yoooouuuu!!!!!!"
