With a thud, Mu Tianxing fell heavily to the ground, looking extremely miserable.

Mu Tianxing gritted his teeth and supported his body, trying to stand up, but suddenly he found that his right hand fingers were in severe pain, which made Mu Tianxing groan. Two of his right hand fingers were broken, and his thumb and middle finger were all broken and lay there limply.

Mu Tianxing tried to clench his fist, but found that he couldn't clench it no matter what. Then he realized that two of his fingers were broken.

The elder of the Mu family, standing nearby, looked at Mu Tianxing's limp fingers and his expression changed drastically. He was about to step forward to see what was happening to him, but Mu Tianxing raised his arm to stop him. "Father, don't worry about me. I'm fine."

Mu Tianxing looked at Gu Yuan, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded and said: "Gu Yuan! Very good, you actually broke two of my fingers, you are very good!"

Gu Yuan looked at Mu Tianxing, who had a fierce look on his face, with a very calm expression. He said, "Master Mu, it seems that your physical strength is far inferior to mine. With one punch, two of your fingers were broken. Do you want to continue fighting?"

Mu Tianxing stood up, coughed, and gritted his teeth as he restored his two severed fingers to their original positions. A flash of pain flashed in his eyes, but he completely concealed it and said to Gu Yuan, "Why don't you continue? It's just two broken fingers, not a fatal one."

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "If that's the case, then let's continue."

After saying this, Gu Yuan didn't even give Mu Tianxing a chance to answer. He shot out directly, leaping into the air. He stretched out his leg and kicked Mu Tianxing's head with a whip kick.

Mu Tianxing looked at Gu Yuan's fierce attack and raised his arms, holding them up like a cross in front of his head.

A muffled sound rang out, and Mu Tianxing was knocked back by Gu Yuan's whip kick. After pushing several steps forward, he finally stabilized his body. Gu Yuan landed on the ground, still not giving Mu Tianxing a chance to breathe, and ran directly towards Mu Tianxing at a rapid speed, then jumped up and kicked him.

Mu Tianxing raised his leg and also kicked out with a whip kick, colliding with Gu Yuan's leg. With a snap, the two legs collided with each other, and a huge force came from them, making them frown. It was obvious that both of them were physically strong, and the pain was also very intense.

Gu Yuan took a step back, narrowed his eyes, and then launched a torrential attack. Mu Tianxing had two broken fingers on his right hand, so his attack was naturally not as fierce as before. So as time went by, Mu Tianxing gradually showed signs of defeat.

Gu Ting, watching the battle from a distance, was stunned. She hadn't expected Gu Yuan to be so physically formidable, and by the looks of it, he was already gaining the upper hand. If this momentum continued, Mu Tianxing would undoubtedly be defeated. However, Gu Ting was particularly concerned. They were now at the gates of the Mu Mansion. If Gu Yuan defeated Mu Tianxing, he would undoubtedly lose the ten thousand spiritual herbs. Gu Yuan would undoubtedly demand them, but could he truly carry them off safely in front of the Mu Mansion? Gu Ting felt a surge of worry. After all, from what she had known about Gu Yuan over this period, he was known for his stubborn character. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change his mind. If Gu Yuan insisted on returning the ten thousand spiritual herbs, and the Mu Mansion refused to give them to him, then this would be a serious problem.

The Mu family's eldest elder stood at the door, his eyes gleaming. He looked at Mu Tianxing, who was gradually losing, and wanted to say something, but stopped himself under the gaze of everyone.

He was the Grand Elder of the Mu Family, with a host of clan members standing behind him. If he resorted to some means to help Mu Tianxing win at this moment, he would inevitably be criticized, which would be detrimental to his position in the Mu Family. However, if he allowed Mu Tianxing to lose, then ten thousand spiritual herbs would be lost, which he had guaranteed with his status as an elder. If he lost, the loss would be enormous.

While the loss was enormous, it wasn't unbearable. However, for Mu Tianxing, it was a significant problem. After all, he was the prodigy of the Mu family, yet he had been defeated twice in a row by the same individual, a mere Spiritual Master who hadn't yet reached the Spiritual Master realm. The Mu family's Great Elder was deeply concerned that Mu Tianxing's mentality would be further affected. If his inner demons took shape, it would be extremely detrimental to his future cultivation.

The eldest elder of the Mu family sighed and was speechless. Mu Tianxing had always been an outstanding person in the family, but he didn't know why he performed so poorly in the two battles with this kid.

In fact, in the battle between Mu Tianxing and Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan's performance was no different from usual, but he was not extremely strong either. It was just that Mu Tianxing always had a strong competitive spirit when facing Gu Yuan because of his previous experience.

However, it was precisely because of this competitive desire to win that Demu Tianxing was affected.

Once the momentum turned against him, he began to worry in his heart. What if he made a mistake? It was precisely because of this mentality that Mu Tianxing did not perform at his original level.

Perhaps because Mu Tianxing had been hailed as a genius within his family for so long, he had lost his mindset. He believed he could never lose, that he could only be the victor. If he lost, it would mean he wasn't good enough, and he couldn't face defeat with equanimity. Such people, once faced with failure, are easily affected by it, developing inner demons. Mu Tianxing is one such person.

Gu Yuan looked at Mu Tianxing and sneered, "Just admit defeat. Your finger is broken, and your injury is getting worse. It's only a matter of time before you lose. Do you still want to continue? I think you should understand that even if you continue, you will only lose. There's no need to waste your time and embarrass yourself! If you continue to fight, I can only say that my attacks will become more and more ruthless. By then, you may not be able to save your life unless you use your spiritual energy. Of course, if you use your spiritual energy, you will automatically lose this physical strength contest. However, in a contest of cultivation, if you burst out with all your strength, I may really be inferior to you. You can consider using your cultivation to turn the situation around."

Mu Tianxing's eyes flickered. There was no way he could use his cultivation in front of so many people. Otherwise, it would only be a shame for him!
