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

got rejected.

Mu Chen stood there, watching Luo Li lower her eyes again, and the invisible, aloof aura around her that kept everyone away. The faint smile on his face did not disappear; instead, it became more sunny.

Expected.

At this time, Luo Li was focused on cultivation, carrying the responsibility and heritage of the Luo Shen clan, and was a pure and almost stubborn girl who had not yet been worn down by the world.

Just make an impression for now.

Mu Chen left without insisting or paying attention to the various expressions in the eyes of those around him.

They're all going to be eliminated soon, let them have some fun first.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

As dawn broke, the bluestone square in front of the city lord's mansion was already crowded with people.

More than a hundred teenagers stood quietly, none of them speaking.

A tense and chilling atmosphere permeated the air, like a fully drawn bowstring, just waiting to be released.

"The time has come."

An instructor walked out slowly, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"Come with me."

Without any further explanation, let's get straight to the point!

Upon entering the city lord's mansion, the group finally stopped in front of a grand hall.

The hall was spacious, and the floor was paved with a dark blue crystal that was as smooth as a mirror.

In the center of the main hall, a massive teleportation array was operating silently.

The spirit array was about thirty or forty feet long, and dozens of fist-sized crystals of various colors were piled around it, emitting a faint light and providing spiritual power to the spirit array.

In the center of the spirit array stands a pillar that soars into the sky, engraved with the patterns of unknown spirit beasts, lifelike and fierce-looking, as if they could jump down at any moment!

"Enter the battle."

The instructor's words were concise and to the point.

The boys entered the spirit array one by one, without appearing crowded.

Mu Chen followed the flow of people into the formation, and Luo Li walked past him, leaving behind a faint fragrance.

She stood still in a corner of the formation, her eyes still lowered, her silver hair cascading down like a waterfall.

"The trial grounds are now open, lasting for half a month." The instructor's voice echoed through the hall. "The rules are clear: you are responsible for your own life and death. Now—"

"Teleport!"

boom!

In an instant, hundreds of beams of light burst forth from the pillars, their various colors weaving together to form a dazzling sea of ​​light that enveloped everyone in the formation.

Mu Chen felt the array patterns beneath his feet vibrate violently, and the space began to distort.

Then, there's the feeling of weightlessness...

Both feet touch the ground.

Mu Chen's body sank slightly, dissipating the impact, and he stood firmly.

The white light receded like a tide, and vision returned to clarity.

He raised his head.

Before me stretched a vast, desolate land.

The check-in system isn't responding; it seems we can't check in here.

"What happened? Where did everyone go?"

A strange voice rang out from about ten feet away to my side.

Mu Chen looked around and sensed the three teenagers around him before his eyes could see them.

The one who spoke was a tall, muscular young man wearing a brown leather armor, his bare arms showing prominent muscles, and his eyes filled with obvious dissatisfaction.

The other two boys were a short, chubby boy and a tall, thin boy.

The three of them scanned the wasteland and finally their gazes fell on Mu Chen.

A brief silence.

The brown-armored youth looked Mu Chen up and down, his gaze gradually shifting from wariness to amusement.

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Isn't this the guy who invited the silver-haired girl to team up? Lucky us, we ran into the three of us as soon as we came in."

The tall, thin man chuckled sinisterly, a glint of cunning flashing in his narrow eyes: "Lone wolves are the easiest to kill..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Chen moved.

Without warning, he simply took a step forward and vanished from his spot.

The pupils of the three people suddenly contracted.

A slender, fair hand suddenly appeared before the brown-armored youth, its five fingers slightly spread, pressing against his face.

too fast!

The brown-armored youth didn't even have time to think!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the brown-armored youth was sent flying backward uncontrollably!

He tumbled through the air, his vision spinning, and caught a glimpse of his two companions out of the corner of his eye…

The tall, thin man was curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach, his face ashen, unable to utter a sound; the short, fat man lay face down, motionless.

"this……"

Before the thought even formed, a dull pain shot through the back of my head.

Darkness engulfed consciousness.

Mu Chen withdrew his hand; from the moment he made the move to the moment he finished, it was only a fleeting instant.

Mu Chen bent down, took the blood-red tokens from their bodies, and absorbed the essence stored inside.

A warm current spread along my arms, coursing through my limbs and bones.

The bones tingled slightly, and the flesh emitted a satisfied hum.

Although this little bit of essence had little effect on him, it still felt quite comfortable.

"Three level-two spirits, and they even put them here...tsk tsk."

Mu Chen shook his head and turned to leave.

He didn't kill him.

Although the Spiritual Path Trial has no taboos, indiscriminate killing could easily lead to the Holy Spirit Academy finding fault with it, just like in the original story, causing unnecessary trouble.

As for whether these three people will be carried away by a passing spirit beast—

That's not within his consideration.

……

Seven days have passed.

Mu Chen's footprints covered the entire training ground.

He kills spirit beasts when he encounters them, and seizes tokens from those who are undergoing trials.

He has defeated over a hundred opponents, and his tokens and spirit essence have accumulated to a terrifying level. However, he lacks a sufficiently powerful spirit essence to stabilize his spiritual body, which is stuck at the peak of level four.

A level three spirit body is already at the top level in the spiritual path at this time!

Mu Chen is now invincible on the Spiritual Path!

Ordinary spirit beasts are killed with a single punch; none of the trial participants survived even a single move!

On this day, Mu Chen crossed a barren mountain and suddenly a bright and open view appeared before him.

It was a basin, and in the center of the basin stood a dilapidated ancient temple.

The ancient temple, whose construction date is unknown, has mottled walls covered with vines, and half of its roof has collapsed, revealing a deep darkness inside.

But what made Mu Chen stop was not the ancient palace.

Instead, it was that familiar silver figure in front of the ancient hall.

Luo Li.

She stood alone before the broken walls of the ancient temple, her silver hair cascading down her back, her black dress trailing on the ground.

There were four people standing opposite her.

The four were dressed differently, but their auras were all strong. The weakest among them was a level two spirit body, and the leader was even a level three spirit body!

They spread out in a fan shape, surrounding Luo Li in the center, their eyes filled with hostility.

"Miss Luo Li, we discovered this Crimson Serpent Fruit first, but you took advantage of our unpreparedness to forcibly kill the spirit beast here and take the spiritual object. Isn't that inappropriate?"

The leader was a young man in a blue robe, with a refined appearance but sharp eyes.

Luo Li simply gripped the Luo Shen Sword in her hand, her voice remaining as cold and clear as ever.

"Get out of the way."

"Then there's no room for negotiation." The blue-robed youth sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Make your move!"

Several people suddenly jumped up at the same time!

Swords flashed, fists swung, and palms struck Luo Li from all directions.

Luo Li's figure was like a phantom, weaving through the flashing swords and the clanging of metal.

For a time, the four men were unable to subdue her, and there was even a possibility that she would defeat them one by one!

The young man in blue robes wielded a pair of short halberds, his halberd techniques were unpredictable. Seeing that things were not going well, he disregarded his injuries and took a sword strike from Luo Li, creating an opportunity!

Luo Li's sword flashed as she sidestepped the short halberd, but three men had already attacked from behind, drawing their swords and blades to block her retreat...

Just as she was about to fight back, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure leaping down from the desolate mountain and landing on the battlefield.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Four muffled thuds.

All four men were sent flying backwards, crashing several meters away, spitting blood, and unable to get up.

Mu Chen stood beside Luo Li, his black robes fluttering slightly, his expression calm.

"It's not a good look to bully the weak with numbers."
