I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 191 Demon or Immortal, a Single Thought Away (27 pages)
Could it be that Liu Chengze turned into this grotesque state simply because he didn't obtain the wooden box from the Void Clan to lift the curse?
But then, remembering Duan Hongfei's strange behavior after leaving the secret realm, Yu Muhuai understood.

Liu Chengze has developed inner demons.

Under the double blow of the formation and the loss of the treasure, he developed a formidable inner demon.

What Yu Muhuai didn't know was that Liu Chengze not only had inner demons, but had also lost contact with Yuan.

This is not just a double blow, it's a multi-blow.

Under such repeated blows, Liu Chengze was unable to concentrate on his cultivation for the past few months.

His cultivation not only stagnated, but also showed faint signs of regression.

Shi Yumian, who entered the secret realm with him, had an even stronger inner demon.

She now wants to pester Liu Chengze every day, every moment, hoping to see him all the time, and longing to stay with him forever and continue the romance in the fantasy world.

However, because of his inner turmoil, Liu Chengze had no heart to deal with her.

So the two of them went from having mutual feelings for each other to a torturous love affair where one chases the other.

This left Ryu Seung-taek even more exhausted.

As for Zhu Yue, with whom he had a brief romantic encounter in the secret realm, Liu Chengze still harbored a slight affection for her back then. But now, that tiny spark of affection was extinguished instantly upon emerging from the formation.

The two never crossed paths again.

For the past six months, Liu Chengze has been asking himself, "How did things turn out like this? It shouldn't be like this."

But the truth is, that's exactly how things are going.

Although Liu Chengze was in extremely poor condition, he still accepted Yu Muhuai's challenge.

Facing the person who had once humiliated him, Liu Chengze refused to admit his weakness.

Although she was once defeated, she overpowered him again in the secret realm.

Liu Chengze refused to admit defeat.

So he accepted the challenge.

Yu Muhuai sized up the other person and saw the stubbornness beneath his exhaustion on his face.

She couldn't help but begin to admire the other person.

Although they were destined not to become friends, if Liu Chengze was sensible, Yu Muhuai did not intend to harm him again after the mission.

“Hua Yingyue,” Liu Chengze stood up and leaped onto the arena, looking at his opponent with a complicated expression, and slowly said, “I’m here.”

Yu Muhuai nodded calmly, then flipped his hand downwards, and the Python Cliff Sword appeared in his right hand.

"Liu Chengze, I challenge you today because I developed a mental demon after being defeated by you before."

Today, regardless of your rank, I consider you a serious opponent.

The demons in one's heart can only be overcome by oneself, so I came here.

Please advise.

Yu Muhuai spoke with sincerity and seriousness.

Liu Chengze could tell that the other party truly respected him, which was why they issued this challenge.

For some reason, Liu Chengze's mood suddenly brightened a bit.

It's like being trapped in an eggshell made of thick soil for a long time, without any light, and without being able to find any cracks to break through the shell.

Suddenly a hammer appeared, chiseling open a tiny crack and letting in a ray of long-lost light.

Yu Muhuai: You're the one with the hammer.

A brighter expression appeared on Liu Chengze's face, dispelling the gloom that had settled over him for so long, making him look much more handsome.

Regardless of whether her words had any effect, Yu Muhuai wasted no time and remained silent. Instead, she brandished her sword and charged towards Liu Chengze.

The two immediately engaged in battle.

On the stage, swords clashed and two graceful figures exchanged blows. Yu Muhuai's cultivation level was a whole major higher, giving him an edge in spiritual pressure over his opponent.

However, amidst the clanging of metal, Liu Chengze gradually rediscovered his original aspiration for cultivation.

He did it for himself, for his dignity, for his goals, and for his beliefs.

However, on his journey forward, he gradually strayed from his original aspirations, and everything he did bore the imprint of others.

Dignity is for trampling Huayingyue underfoot, cultivation is for relying on Yuan's existence, and the goal is to prove oneself to everyone.

They neglected their truest selves.

What is his original intention?
It seems I've already left it far behind.

"I'm going to get it back!"

Yu Muhuai sensed that his opponent's eyes had changed, from initial resentment and forbearance to a gradual sense of relief and clarity.

Meanwhile, the opponent's moves became increasingly fluid.

Liu Chengze's weapon was a long sword. At first, he was resolute but lacked imposing presence.

Now, however, it has gradually developed a complex and dense sense of flexibility, with an imposing momentum, a blade as sharp as thunder, and moves as swift as the wind.

Gradually, Yu Muhuai also began to take things seriously, no longer using spiritual pressure to intimidate, but truly using his moves against his own.

The battle on stage was fierce and exhilarating, while the audience watched in a dazzling display.

"Unexpectedly, Liu Chengze, who is only at the third level of the Spirit Origin Realm, was able to withstand so many moves from Hua Yingyue, who is at the first level of the Divine Soul Realm."

"Yeah, I initially thought he would be defeated within three moves."

"Sigh, I thought it would only take one move, I even made a bet with someone."

"You see, Hua Yingyue didn't do it on purpose. She's not holding back with her moves. If she was underestimating him at first, she's now taking Liu Chengze seriously as an opponent."

“I don’t think Hua Ying is being disrespectful, even though Liu Chengze is a whole realm below her. At that time, her initial words were very clear; she was giving Liu Chengze pointers, as if she had noticed that he was not in good condition recently.”

"Yes, that makes sense. Lately, whenever I see Liu Chengze, I always feel like he's shrouded in gloom, as if he's caught in some kind of trouble."

"Well, I got the news from 'The All-Knowing Scholar' that Liu Chengze is said to be trapped in a demonic state, and it's a demonic state related to 'love'."

"No wonder! It's hard to get rid of inner demons!"

"In my opinion, Liu Chengze is probably troubled not only by 'love,' but also by things like 'competitiveness' and 'cultivation.'"

"Is 'The All-Knowing Scholar' that powerful? He even knows the general type of the other party's inner demons?"

"That is."

"I didn't expect Hua Yingyue to be so kind as to remind the other party before the duel."

"You just don't understand. This is called being cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Don't be fooled by the goddess's usual aloofness; she's actually very warm inside."

"No, no, I think Hua Yingyue has become warmer not only inside but also out lately. Haven't you noticed that she smiles a lot more and talks a lot more lately?"

“I noticed it a long time ago, but I didn’t dare to say anything. She’s been so ruthless lately, even more so than before. I’m scared.”

"Me too."

"Me too."

"What a coincidence, so am I."

"Oh, so everyone is like that. I thought I was the only one."

"Add me, add me, I'm scared too."

"And I."

"."
