Mu Bai is currently in a predicament that can only be described as being caught in a dilemma.
Chen Tianwen seemed unwilling to give Mu Bai a chance to consider, and instead shouted to the people below the arena:
"Today I will be exchanging some immortal techniques with Young Master Mu Bai."
Everyone was in an uproar. This was practically a public challenge. Given Mu Bai's status, he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to. If he refused without a suitable reason, it would really be as Chen Tianwen said: Mu Bai was looking down on Chen Tianwen.
Before anyone could even begin to discuss it, Chen Tianwen called out to Fairy Lanxin:
"Sister Lan, may I borrow your arena for a moment? I hope you don't mind?"
Fairy Lanxin smiled faintly and replied to Chen Tianwen:
"Since Emperor Chen has spoken, our Chaosheng Sect has no reason to refuse. Please, Emperor Chen, make yourself at home."
Lan Xin Fairy's words once again put Mu Bai in a difficult position, because Lan Xin Fairy represents Chao Shengzong, which means that Chao Shengzong will support Chen Tianwen.
Therefore, Mu Bai's Refining Heart Cave naturally cannot openly contradict Chen Tianwen.
Upon hearing Lan Xin Fairy's reply, Chen Tianwen smiled slightly and then turned to Mu Bai, saying:
"Young Master Mu Bai, are you willing to accept my challenge?"
Mu Bai sighed. Now that things had come to this, he had absolutely no reason to refuse.
Very well, let's exchange a few blows with Chen Tianwen. Although Mu Bai knew that Chen Tianwen was quite strong, and even told Qi Huang that Chen Tianwen's strength was comparable to his own.
However, deep down, Mu Bai still did not consider Chen Tianwen as his opponent. After all, he was a level above Chen Tianwen, and Mu Bai also had his own pride.
"Since Emperor Chen Dan is in such a good mood, then Mu Bai will gladly accompany you. However, since this is a friendly exchange, it would be best to stop here."
Mu Bai was very helpless, but he still agreed.
Chen Tianwen's eyes lit up when he heard Mu Bai agree.
Chen Tianwen insisted on challenging Mu Bai, of course, to help Xue Shu out of a predicament.
However, there are many ways to help Xue Shu out of this predicament. The reason why Chen Tianwen chose this particular method is that he also wanted to test the strength of the top geniuses of the second-ranked Gan Domain.
This is also a way for him to scout out the path before participating in the interdimensional war.
However, Chen Tianwen would never reveal his full strength, after all, above Mu Bai, there was Qi Huang, whose strength was said to be much greater than Mu Bai's.
Those in the audience found Mu Bai's agreement to accept the challenge both reasonable and somewhat unexpected.
After all, given Mu Bai's status, he is qualified to accept any challenge, but he is not good at dealing with Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen only possessed the strength of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, making him one level lower than Mu Bai in terms of cultivation level.
Mu Bai, who has always been regarded as a prodigy, was not expected to be defeated by Chen Tianwen. Instead, people were worried that Mu Bai would injure Chen Tianwen.
This is understandable. After all, given Chen Tianwen's status as the Pill Emperor, it's normal for him to command a large following. If Mu Bai dared to injure Chen Tianwen, then he had created an insurmountable opponent for the Refining Heart Cave!
However, some people are curious about Chen Tianwen's strength, given that he became a Pill Emperor at such a young age and even cultivated to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Even Fairy Lanxin couldn't help but secretly send a telepathic message to Xue Shu to inquire, after all, Mu Bai's strength was not to be underestimated by anyone.
Xue Shu wasn't too aware of Chen Tianwen's increased strength after ascending to the Immortal Realm, but Chen Tianwen had never failed when he was in the Xuan Tian Realm.
No matter what kind of opponent he faced, Chen Tianwen could always find a way to solve the problem.
This also gave Xue Shu a strange sense of confidence in Chen Tianwen.
So when Fairy Lanxin asked the question, Xue Shu simply replied:
"Given Brother Chen's personality, he would never do something he's not sure he can handle."
Fairy Lanxin nodded. Although she hadn't had much contact with Chen Tianwen, she always regarded him as the Human Emperor and had great confidence in him.
The reason I asked Xue Shu earlier was simply out of instinctive concern.
Of all the spectators, the most nervous was Mu Bai's master, the Cave Master of the Refining Heart Cave!
Now Mu Bai represents the Refining Heart Cave. If he offends Chen Tianwen, the Refining Heart Cave may very well fall from a first-rate power to a second-rate power. How could the Refining Heart Cave Master not be nervous?
But the one who watched the most attentively was Qi Huang.
Mu Bai had told Qi Huang that Chen Tianwen's strength was no less than Mu Bai's, so Qi Huang was very curious about what was so special about Chen Tianwen that made him receive such praise!
On the arena, Mu Bai was extremely nervous, but Chen Tianwen didn't seem to care.
After exchanging greetings with Mu Bai, Chen Tianwen took the lead and launched himself towards Mu Bai like a cannonball.
"What a powerful physical body!"
Qi Huang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details; Qi Huang is naturally an expert.
That's why people couldn't help but admire Chen Tianwen for being able to distort the surrounding space with just his physical strength.
Mu Bai knew a little about Chen Tianwen, but seeing that Chen Tianwen dared to rush towards him without even using his Law Domain, he was somewhat angry at Chen Tianwen's arrogance.
However, Mu Bai was also somewhat surprised when he saw the distorted space around him.
Mu Bai dared not be careless and immediately used a defensive immortal technique to protect himself.
The moment Mu Bai used his defensive magic, Chen Tianwen felt as if his surroundings had turned into an endless swamp.
His powerful punches seemed to hit cotton, finding no point of impact whatsoever.
Chen Tianwen's gaze sharpened. This Mu Bai was indeed extraordinary. His punch was enough to send an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal flying, but Mu Bai simply used a defensive immortal technique to render his attack ineffective.
Moreover, Chen Tianwen could also tell that the immortal technique Mu Bai used was at most a mid-level immortal technique.
The fact that Mu Bai could produce such an effect with an intermediate-level immortal technique is enough to show that his use of various energies has reached an extraordinary level.
Chen Tianwen put away his fist and looked at Mu Bai.
Although there was nothing between them, Chen Tianwen knew how difficult it would be to cross that distance.
Because Mu Bai's magic hadn't dissipated, the seemingly simple space was actually an endless swamp!
Chen Tianwen also began to take things seriously. It seemed that it was impossible for him to defeat Mu Bai easily.
"Young Master Mu Bai, what do you think of my magic technique?"
Chen Tianwen smiled faintly and said to Mu Bai.
Mu Bai did not underestimate Chen Tianwen because he blocked Chen Tianwen's attack. After all, Chen Tianwen had only used his physical strength, yet he had been forced to use his defensive immortal technique!
