MTLNOVEL Chapter 8: Choose
Chen Sheng rode on a donkey and walked slowly on the path, heading towards Qingniu Town.
"At first, I decided to train in this arena. Now it seems that it was a wrong decision!"
Chen Sheng scratched his head in distress. Obviously, Liu Jing had seen his true strength, or rather potential. Kai, one of the five strong men in the royal city, also seemed to look at him differently.
Perhaps ordinary poor warriors would be overjoyed by the favor of these big shots, but Chen Sheng was not happy at all.
Over the years, he has been on the run with his aunt, living a life of displacement. Since childhood, he has been in the Death Mountains and Devil Mountain, living with wild beasts. He has developed a rebellious and carefree temperament.
Because the arena is close to Qingniu Town, after Chen Sheng found this place, he seldom went to Devil Mountain. Unexpectedly, everything was fine for half a year. But recently, abnormal situations have occurred one after another.
Not to mention the trouble at Wu Hui's fighting academy. Just Miss Li and Kai are giving him a headache. However, in less than a month, the Northwest Ten Cities League will begin. He is confident that he can definitely win the first place in the fighting academy and then represent the academy to participate in the league.
The Medicine King has long said that if the fighting academy can rank among the top three in the league this time, the student who has made the greatest contribution will be rewarded with a Phoenix Feather Pill.
The Phoenix Feather Pill is the masterpiece of the Medicine King Mu Ding. It is a quasi-sacred pill and extremely valuable. Not only can it cure his aunt's legs, but even a person who has just died can be revived!
Chen Sheng secretly made up his mind. After getting the Phoenix Feather Pill, he will leave immediately. No matter what plots Miss Li and Kai have, he will not be afraid.
Chen Sheng didn't tell his aunt about Miss Li and Kai. Although he knew very well how powerful his aunt was before she was paralyzed, he didn't want this already suffering woman to worry more about these things.
Ning has been very obedient recently. She stays in the yard all day to practice and accompany her aunt. Chen Sheng continues to shuttle between the fighting academy, the arena, and Qingniu Town.
A few days later, Wu Hui finally came to the academy. She was much thinner. Wearing a white dress, she looked even more beautiful and charming.
Chen Sheng pretended not to see Wu Hui's glances from time to time. He also ignored Miss Li's intentionally or unintentionally flirtatious glances. In the morning literature class, he buried his head to catch up on sleep. In the afternoon, he huddled in the grass to practice profound energy. In the evening, he went to the arena for training.
Miss Li Yue seemed to be having so much fun in the fighting academy that she actually taught continuously for many days. This most famous "dang fu" in the royal city has a low cultivation level in martial arts, but her theoretical knowledge is extremely strong. Most importantly, she dares to teach anything. Many secrets that students don't understand or are impossible to know can be learned from her.
Originally, many aristocratic warriors didn't attend the literature class in the school. But now it's full every day. Countless male students opened their eyes wide and pretended to listen carefully. However, their hot eyes were always fixed on Miss Xu's swaying chest and plump buttocks. I wonder if they came to listen to the class or enjoy the view...
"Lord Wei, Lord Bu, and Lord Mu have returned from their training!"
After this day's literature class, Chen Sheng was just about to leave and go to the forest to practice profound energy when there was a commotion outside.
Wei Mu, Bu Xiaosha, and Mu Feiyu!
Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew these three young masters. In fact, everyone in the fighting academy knew them. The largest force in the royal city is the family of the Medicine King Mu Ding. Next are the three families of Liu, Wei, and Wu. Of course, in recent years, there is also the Misty Rain Mountain Villa.
In the royal city, there is not only the Medicine King but also countless medicines. The three families are also alchemy families. They monopolize the pill business in the western part of the Wu Dynasty.
In this generation of the Liu family, there are only Miss Li Yue and the current family head Liu Ruhu. Wei Mu and Bu Xiaosha are undoubtedly the heirs of the two families. Mu Feiyu's identity is a bit special. He is the grandnephew of the Medicine King Mu Ding.
The three young masters, along with the family's strong men, went to Devil Mountain for training a month ago to prepare for the Western Ten Cities Fighting Academy League. Wu Hui also went with them at that time, but she came back early due to injury.
If it were before, Chen Sheng would have definitely ignored it. But now it's different. Because he saw the gaze that Lord Wei swept over before running out of the classroom. This gaze had changed from resentment to naked killing intent.
Lord Wei wants to use Wei Mu to kill him!
Chen Sheng's beast-like perception immediately understood his intention. He touched his nose in distress. If it were after the Western Ten Cities Fighting Academy League, even if he killed Wei Mu, it would be fine. At worst, he would take Ning and his aunt and flee. As long as he entered Devil Mountain to the north of the royal city, no matter how many strong men the Wei family sent, he was confident that he could escape!
There was only one option: hide!
Chen Sheng made up his mind. Quietly, he left through the back door of the classroom and went to the small forest. He found a hidden place and began to practice profound energy.
"There are still more than ten days until the big competition in the fighting academy. I hope it can pass quietly! Wei Mu, don't cause trouble for no reason!"
Chen Sheng murmured secretly. After only practicing for most of the afternoon and with the sun still high in the sky, he was about to leave. If he couldn't afford to provoke them, he could hide.
However!
The thing he was most worried about still happened!
A group of people walked into the small forest. At the front was a richly dressed young master with a sword inlaid with green profound crystals on his waist. Tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, handsome appearance, and always a faint smile on his lips. This was a young master who could make infatuated girls go crazy.
Wei Mu!
The number one young master in the royal city!
The reason why Wei Mu is called the number one young master is that his father, Wei Xiaoxiong, is the strongest in the royal city. Moreover, among his peers, Wei Mu is outstanding in cultivation level, knowledge, and demeanor! Although Mu Feiyu is the grandnephew of the Medicine King, he is far inferior in all aspects.
Lord Wei followed behind Wei Mu, with a cold smile and resentment on his face. Behind him were also two disciples of the Wei family. The four of them locked their cold gazes on Chen Sheng, obviously coming with ill intentions.
"Are you Chen Sheng?"
Wei Mu stopped two meters in front of Chen Sheng. His tone was light, but there was an air of superiority and indifference. He frowned slightly, seemingly wondering why Wu Hui would slap him in the face because of such an ordinary poor warrior.
Chen Sheng lowered his head and thought quietly, preparing his words. The western league is approaching. At this moment, it is really not advisable to have a conflict with Wei Mu. Wei Mu is not Lord Wei. If he provoked him, it would cause a chain reaction. The Wei family would definitely not let it go!
But who would have thought that Wei Mu's next words made Chen Sheng not have to think so much.
"Cut off one of your legs and get out of the fighting academy. Or kneel at the gate of the fighting academy for an hour. These are two choices. Then this matter is over! Otherwise, I will break both of your legs and you can crawl back on your own!"
Chen Sheng looked up in astonishment at Wei Mu who was still standing there indifferently, as if he had misheard! But he saw Lord Wei and the two disciples of the Wei family with malicious grins on their faces. Even the profound energy on the three of them had started to circulate.
Wei Mu was not joking!
Although Chen Sheng had heard before about how arrogant and domineering this number one young master of the royal city was, when it came to him, Chen Sheng still couldn't accept it.
Wasn't it just that Wu Hui showed a little special concern for him? Wasn't it just that he won the duel against Lord Wei? How big of a deal was it? Why would Wei Mu be so ruthless?
Chen Sheng didn't understand why these aristocratic warriors were so domineering and arrogant. Although the lives of poor warriors on the Sacred Continent are not valuable, it's not necessary to make such a big fuss over such a small matter, right?
Little did he know that what Chen Sheng considered a small matter was a big matter in Wei Mu's eyes. Aristocratic families value face the most. The number one young master of the royal city also thinks that his face is much more important than the life of this poor warrior. If it weren't for the upcoming western league, he would have directly killed him today!
Kneel at the gate of the fighting academy for an hour?
The fighting academy class will be over soon. Does this mean he has to kneel in front of hundreds of people in the fighting academy? For Chen Sheng who grew up in the wild mountains and has a rebellious nature, this is even more difficult than killing him.
Cut off one leg and get out of the fighting academy?
This is not Chen Sheng's style either. Let alone facing Wei Mu alone, even his father Wei Xiaoxiong doesn't have this right.
Chen Sheng extremely controlled his inner rage. He took a deep breath, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Lord Wei, I have no intention of being an enemy of your Wei family. How about I disappear from the royal city automatically after a month?"
"Be an enemy of our family? Do you have the qualification?"
Wei Mu laughed loudly, with an imposing manner of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. He mockingly looked at the poor warrior in front of him whose body was slightly trembling and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. Do you believe I can destroy your whole family? You live in Qingniu Town. There is a paralyzed person and a fool in your family, right? For the last time, kneel or cut off your leg?"
Chen Sheng clenched his fists tightly. His nails dug deep into his palms. His body trembled continuously. He lowered his head and was silent, seemingly making a choice. Even when encountering high-level profound beasts in the Death Mountains or Devil Mountain, he had never been so conflicted!
After a moment, he figured it out!
He had no way out at all!
Wei Mu just wanted to cripple and destroy him!
His body stopped trembling. He raised his head. The corner of his mouth curved into a strange arc. His ordinary face immediately became full of demonic charm.
Since there was no way out, then he wouldn't retreat!
If you want to play, I'll play with you!
He narrowed his eyes, hunched over, and said with a smile, "My choice is - eighteen generations of ancestors!"
