"Yes! That's the young master of Xuanyuan Manor. Xuanyuan Manor is the largest of the three major powers, controlling one-third of the eighth floor. Everyone is trying to curry favor with that young master. Who would actually take action to teach him a lesson?"
"Looks like we were overthinking it..."
When Chen Zhou woke up, it was still pitch black all around. The only thing Chen Zhou felt was that his whole body was ice cold. Chen Zhou hadn't felt this way in a long time. Judging from the strength of his body, he shouldn't feel this cold anymore, but Chen Zhou definitely felt it now. So Chen Zhou curled up into a ball. Only then did Chen Zhou realize that his whole body was soaked, as if someone had splashed cold water on him.
Chen Zhou still cannot feel the power in his body.
Chen Zhou felt completely limp and powerless. Even more strangely, the system notification in his mind had disappeared. Just as Chen Zhou was about to look for the reason, someone grabbed his hair, glaring at him menacingly, and dragged him outside by his hair!
Chen Zhou could no longer feel the pain in his stomach, but the sharp pain in his head and scalp immediately brought him back to his senses!
Chen Zhou was propelled forward by others dragging their hair down!
Dragging forward, Chen Zhou realized that the ground was already damp. It felt as if his body was being dragged along in the water, and he could clearly feel the water rippling around him.
Fortunately, the surroundings were all water, otherwise Chen Zhou wouldn't have been able to be dragged so easily. This reduced the burden on Chen Zhou's hair, so it seems that Chen Zhou wouldn't feel much pain when being dragged.
"Sir, the person has been brought out."
Suddenly, Chen Zhou felt the person who had been dragging him stop and throw him in front of him. Only then did Chen Zhou realize that he had been thrown to the ground.
Now it seems that someone really does want to see me.
However, just as Chen Zhou was relieved that he still had some use and shouldn't die so quickly, at least he still had time to recover, he was dragged up and then felt his hands being handcuffed. Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhou discovered that not only were his hands handcuffed, but his body was also bound by the rope again.
Chen Zhou had finally regained some strength, but now it was all gone again!
At this moment, no matter how much Chen Zhou silently recited the Fire Transformation Technique in his mind, he could not summon the Rootless Fire. This was because his body was too weak, and Chen Zhou could not use the Rootless Fire.
The inability to use the rootless fire was a major weakness for Chen Zhou.
Moreover, with his body weakening, if he couldn't use the Rootless Fire, Chen Zhou had no other way to shrink his body and escape the ropes. Because of his weakness, considering the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon was useless.
Chen Zhou also discovered that the black sword at his waist was nowhere to be found.
"Bring a bucket of cold water." Chen Zhou heard the indifferent voice again.
Chen Zhou deliberately kept his eyes closed, intending to feign unconsciousness to mislead the others and buy some time. However, this was clearly not an option now, as a bucket of cold water was quickly brought over.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The man poured a bucket of cold water over Chen Zhou's head, and Chen Zhou felt extremely cold! Chen Zhou couldn't help but shiver, and because his body was shaking, he could no longer pretend.
"Still want to keep pretending?" the man asked again.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou realized that he had been discovered. It seemed that there was no need for him to pretend anymore. Chen Zhou opened his eyes and the first person he saw was the burly man who had grabbed him and Yuan Ziyi earlier.
At this moment, the man had already taken off his battle armor and was looking at Chen Zhou with a serious expression.
"Where did you get that combat armor?" The burly man was only wearing one piece of clothing, so his well-proportioned muscles were clearly visible; he was undeniably very strong. He spoke coldly at this moment.
Upon hearing the man ask about his battle armor, Chen Zhou realized that it had vanished. He had no idea where it had gone. No wonder he felt so cold; his armor had been removed. Now, Chen Zhou was only wearing a thin white robe.
"It was stolen," Chen Zhou said frankly, and he had no intention of hiding these things.
Although Chen Zhou was trembling all over, his mind was racing. The man asking about his combat armor meant he recognized it. Chen Zhou tried his best to recall the combat armor worn by the burly man he had seen earlier, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't remember it.
Because Chen Zhou was in so much pain in her stomach at that time, she didn't have the energy to look closely at the burly man not far in front of her.
So Chen Zhou only remembered the appearance of this burly man.
"Whose did you steal?" the burly man pressed on.
“A robber,” Chen Zhou said.
"Is it that band of robbers in the mountains outside the capital?" The burly man's expression changed slightly, and his eyebrows twitched up on their own, indicating that he was somewhat excited.
"It seems so," Chen Zhou replied after a moment's thought, admitting that he had indeed robbed those people.
