The Great Ruler: Reborn as Mu Chen, sweeping across the vast world!

The terrifying momentum of the Blood Pig Tiger's ferocious charge came to an abrupt halt, and its massive body was forcefully pressed down!

The enormous head was firmly held down by a fair, bony hand and slammed hard onto the damp ground covered with decaying leaves!

The Blood Pig Tiger frantically pawed at the ground, carving deep furrows and sending dirt flying, but no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't budge the hand holding its head even an inch...

They can't even lift their heads!

It could only let out a painful howl, blood gushing from the wound on its neck, its massive body twisting in vain, but it was pinned to the ground.

Wu Yingying landed lightly on a thick, horizontal branch, but the sight before her made the words she was about to say instantly get stuck in her throat. Her bright eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief and astonishment.

In sight, a handsome young man dressed in black stood casually beside the raging Blood Pig Tiger, subduing it with one hand!

The boy didn't even flinch, as if he were holding down not a ferocious beast, but a restless stray dog.

Holding down a berserk Blood Pig Tiger with one hand?!

Wu Yingying felt that her understanding of the world had been shaken.

You must understand that this is the Spirit Road, where spiritual energy is forbidden, and everyone can only rely on their physical strength!

Although this Blood Pig Tiger is a low-level spirit beast, its strength is enough to shatter rocks. When it goes berserk, even a Spirit Realm cultivator might not dare to confront its power head-on...

How incredibly strong must her body be? It must be even more amazing than her brother's, right?

Or has he already activated a spirit body of level two or higher in such a short time since entering the Spirit Path?

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Wu Yingying's mind in an instant, with vigilance and curiosity rising simultaneously.

The boy remained calm, even somewhat thoughtful, seemingly unconcerned about the struggling beasts beneath him.

It was as if he had only just noticed her arrival, and looked up at her.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

She's really quite pretty, probably on par with Sister Qian'er!

Looking at the blue-clad girl on the tree branch, who was filled with surprise and uncertainty, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. He then flicked his wrist slightly.

Click!

A sickening sound of bones shattering rang out clearly.

Blood Pig Tiger's last whimper abruptly ceased; its struggling limbs suddenly stiffened, then it slumped limply to the ground. Its crimson eyes lost their luster, and it fell completely silent.

A faint crimson light emanated from the corpse of the Blood Pig Tiger. Mu Chen took out his token and absorbed the essence into it.

He sensed the feedback of power; his physical body had become slightly stronger—not much, but better than nothing.

This means that the spirit beast was successfully killed, and the level one spirit body was activated.

The more spirit beasts you kill, and the higher their level, the faster your spirit body's level will increase. The higher your spirit body's level, the stronger the spiritual energy infusion effect you will receive.

After dealing with the harvest, Mu Chen finally looked at Wu Yingying with a relaxed expression and smiled at her.

Wu Yingying snapped out of her daze, jumped down from the tree branch, and landed a few feet away from Mu Chen, her eyes filled with even more curiosity.

"I am Mu Chen from the Hundred Spirits Continent." Mu Chen introduced himself with a smile, looking at her calmly. "And you, young lady?"

Wu Yingying paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Tianwu Continent, Wu Yingying."

After answering, she couldn't help but ask, "You're already a level two spirit?"

"It's not that fast, it's just innate superhuman strength," Mu Chen replied, then changed the subject: "But you're lucky."

"Huh?" Wu Yingying didn't keep up with the jump.

"You're the first person I've encountered since entering the Spiritual Road," Mu Chen said, his gaze sweeping over her face with a purely appraising quality. "I'll spare your life because you're beautiful."

"You may leave."

Wu Yingying: "………"

Her bright face froze at first, then gradually flushed red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.

The girl's blush said it all!

A surge of anger welled up from the bottom of my heart and rushed straight to the top of my head.

What does it mean to say, "I'll spare your life because you're pretty"?

What does "You may leave" mean?

This person... how can this person be such a good actor!

Wu Yingying is a proud daughter of heaven in the Tianwu Continent. Not only is her grandfather the Martial King of the Martial Spirit Academy, but her own talent and strength are also outstanding among her peers!

When have I ever been treated with such a condescending tone?

If they really fight, it's hard to say who will win or lose... Well, she'll definitely lose.

But we can't lose our momentum!

"You!" Wu Yingying stomped her foot angrily, pointing a finger at Mu Chen: "Who asked you to give in! Who cares if you let me go for...for that kind of reason! If you're so capable, let's have a real fight!"

Seeing her puffed-up face, like a cat with its fur standing on end, Mu Chen shook his head, ignored her, and turned to leave.

Too weak, her angry expression is like a child's tantrum—that's exactly what Wu Yingying is like right now.

"Hey! You stop right there!" Seeing that he was really going to leave, Wu Yingying became even angrier and chased after him in a few steps. "Explain yourself clearly..."

Listening to Wu Yingying's chattering voice beside him, Mu Chen suddenly rubbed his chin and said, "You're so determined to follow me, have you fallen in love with me at first sight?"

Wu Yingying's breath caught in her throat for a moment.

She glared at Mu Chen, her bright face displaying a complex array of expressions: first astonishment, then shame and anger, and finally, a raging inferno.

"What did you say?!" she practically spat out through gritted teeth.

Mu Chen seemed oblivious to her expression, maintaining his nonchalant demeanor. He even tilted his head slightly, as if deep in thought: "Tell me, did you fall in love with me at first sight, which is why you've been following me?"

Wow, this person is so narcissistic and shameless!

"Who likes you! I'm with you because...because..."

Wu Yingying suddenly got stuck.

Yeah, why is she following this guy?

Because of anger? Because of resentment? Or because... he wanted to see just how strong he really was?

Wu Yingying herself was a little confused.

Mu Chen looked at her embarrassed expression, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice as calm as a statement of fact: "I clearly let you go, but you insisted on chasing after me. I can't think of any other reason besides being interested in me as a person."

"Don't flatter yourself!" Wu Yingying's face flushed red. "I just... I just can't stand the way you are!"

"Oh?" Mu Chen raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"It's...it's that 'I'm the best in the world, you should all kneel down' attitude!" Wu Yingying finally found the words, "Who do you think you are!"

"I may not be anyone special," Mu Chen said, "but at least for now, I'm stronger than you."

Wu Yingying clenched her fists; she couldn't refute those words.

"So what if I'm strong?" She raised her chin, trying hard to maintain her pride. "The Spiritual Path Trial isn't just about brute force; it's about who can make it to the end!"

"That's right." Mu Chen actually nodded. "That's why I gave you the chance."

"But your disrespect stems from your belief that I'm soft-hearted and lustful, and that I wouldn't lay a hand on a pretty girl, which is why you're so brazenly provoking me?"
