"By the way, Fang Yuan, did you happen to meet a tough opponent in this forest?" Lin Jing asked again.
"How come you've already used your ultimate move?"
"Ultimate move?" Fang Yuan was stunned. He didn't even realize he had used his ultimate move.
Seeing Fang Yuan's confused expression, Lin Jing pointed to the large pit below, which was still smoking.
"To make you use such a powerful move, the monster should be someone worth taking seriously, right?"
Fang Yuan fell silent. Wait... Wasn't that just a normal basic attack of his?
If he said that he only used that move to kill a couple of low-level demons, would Lin Jing lose her cool on the spot?
With that thought, Fang Yuan couldn't bring himself to tell Lin Jing this harsh truth. He only nodded:
"Uh, sort of. The opponent was indeed quite tricky."
Before Lin Jing could ask further, he turned and looked at the still crouching Bai Feng, smiling, "Get up, buddy. Still weak in the knees?"
Bai Feng gave a nervous chuckle before standing up again.
"Don't blame him too much. He was about to go down and rescue you," Lin Jing smiled as she added.
"Really?" Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow. This kid actually had such intentions—he was a bit surprised. However, it seemed like he sensed something and suddenly looked down.
Almost at the same time, a voice came from below:
"Hey, you three!"
Lin Jing and Bai Feng both lowered their heads in response, and saw a young man in white standing at the top of the trees. His long hair was wildly flying, and an invisible aura was emanating from his body, making the nearby branches sway violently.
The number one in the Talented Camp, Mo Wuhen!
"Did you three kill the monsters in this forest?" Mo Wuhen's face was cold, and his tone was equally emotionless.
Fang Yuan nodded slightly.
"Good." Mo Wuhen flicked his sleeve, and stretched his right hand forward, pointing.
"I'm heading in that direction. From now on, you three need to leave and don't show yourselves in my sight!"
As he spoke, Mo Wuhen's aura erupted with a sharp, intense pressure of the third realm, fifth stage, his strength was overwhelming.
Mo Wuhen considered that although his strength was above that of the three of them, Fang Yuan had the ability to control demons and could fly, making him quicker and more agile.
So, Mo Wuhen decided to keep his distance from them. Otherwise, he would end up having to clean up their leftovers and wouldn't be able to kill many demons.
But, as the number one in the Talented Camp, Mo Wuhen had his pride.
He usually worked alone in the camp and would never bother to watch the challenges held within the camp.
Mo Wuhen had no real friends in the camp and even avoided building relationships with others.
But so what? When it came to distributing elixirs, he got the most. When choosing techniques, he picked the best!
The rest of the talents only got what was left over!
Mo Wuhen's life had always been about others yielding to him, not the other way around. This time, it should be the same!
Moreover, Mo Wuhen still clearly remembered that the boy in front of him, Fang Yuan, had called him garbage before they set off!
Garbage!
Just thinking about that word made anger surge within Mo Wuhen.
A genius like him, floating on clouds, had actually been insulted with such a lowly term!
This was why Mo Wuhen had come out so forcefully!
If the others were smart, they would endure the humiliation and leave obediently. If not, he would show Fang Yuan just how strong he was compared to the "garbage" he had been called!
Lin Jing remained expressionless, not saying a word. Her gaze at Mo Wuhen seemed as if she was looking at a dead person.
Bai Feng sensed the tense atmosphere and immediately spoke up:
"I say, Mo Brother, aren't you being a bit too domineering?"
Even though the other party was the number one talent in the camp, Bai Feng still chose to argue:
"We came here first, and who says we have to listen to you..."
Boom!!!
Suddenly, the sound of a raging wind filled the air, so sharp it felt like a knife cutting across Bai Feng's cheek, causing him to instinctively shut his eyes.
What's going on?
Bai Feng was filled with doubt and quickly opened his eyes. However, he was surprised to find that the person floating at the top of the trees was no longer Mo Wuhen, but... Fang Yuan!!
Huh? How did he suddenly change like this?!
Where's Mo Wuhen?!
Bai Feng quickly scanned the surroundings and spotted him on the ground not far away.
At that moment, the number one genius from Jianghai Province was performing an impressive handstand, his feet up in the air and his head deeply embedded in the dirt...
Just moments ago, he had been floating like a deity, and now he looked like a beggar, covered in dirt...
Bai Feng's pupils contracted, and he swallowed hard, feeling like this wasn't real.
No way, he blinked and Mo Wuhen was already down? No, to be precise, he was standing upside down!
What kind of speed of defeat was this, Shen Ge?!
This guy was the number one talent in the Talented Camp, and Fang Yuan just casually solved him like that!!
[Teaching a Third Realm martial artist humility with practical action, Virtue Points +10]
Hearing the prompt from the "Virtuous Book", Fang Yuan looked at Mo Wuhen, who looked like he was performing a circus act on the ground, and a cold, mocking laugh echoed:
"Looks like I've been too nice. Now, even stray dogs feel bold enough to make demands in front of me."
"Uh..."
Mo Wuhen, who was still partially conscious, his head buried in the dirt, groaned in pain upon hearing this, and an intense sense of humiliation surged inside him.
Before, Fang Yuan had called him garbage, and now he had been demoted to a stray dog...
But the problem was, when facing Fang Yuan, he truly felt like a stray dog, easily kicked to death with a single blow!
It was too fast. Fang Yuan's speed was too fast. When Mo Wuhen was attacked, he could barely catch a glimpse of a fleeting shadow.
His body didn't even have time to react, his techniques couldn't even be mobilized before he was beaten into this miserable state!!!
In that moment, Mo Wuhen understood what Fang Yuan had meant by calling him garbage.
It wasn't because Fang Yuan looked down on him or insulted him. It was the most direct and honest assessment from Fang Yuan's perspective!
Fear, despair, and frustration surged through Mo Wuhen as he finally lost consciousness completely.
