As Mu Chen's voice echoed all over the buildings, the noisy atmosphere became silent. Numerous horrified eyes were locked onto him.

They could never have imagined that such a gentle and polite young man could be so arrogant. He did not even show Xiong Ba an ounce of respect, and he was an Upper Earthly Sovereign!

Furthermore, Xiong Ba had earned some reputation in the Western Continent. People called him the Bear King, and he was extremely fierce and arrogant when he got down to business!

Rumors said that he had managed to destroy two Lower Earthly Sovereign from a certain force a long time ago. Thereafter, his reputation spread, and no one ever dared to provoke him.

However, Mu Chen had just dared to humiliate Xiong Ba to his face! He probably did not know the consequences of his actions!

As numerous exclamations were heard in the building, Xiong Ba's eyes instantly turned red. His eyes were full of violence as he stared at Mu Chen.

He then shouted, while showing his horrifying white teeth, "Boy! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you want to die?"

Facing the raging Xiong Ba, Mu Chen simply replied with a smile and said, "I am the lord of Mu Estate, and as such, even an Complete Earthly Sovereign is under my command. Why wouldn't I talk to you this way, when you are a mere Upper Earthly Sovereign?"

After listening to what Mu Chen had said, all of the fighters in the building were shocked. They had just been reminded that Mu Chen's force could be the most powerful lineup in the Western Continent! With such a background, Xiong Ba did not seem to have any way to intimidate him.

In just a minute, Xiong Ba did manage to come up with something. "So what? I doubt you are brave enough to attack my empire. We'll see if the Western Kingdom War Temple will grant you your wish!" Although his tone was fierce, everyone could feel that his confidence had waned.

"Ha! Although you have a Complete Earthly Sovereign under your command, do you think that you could actually send her to represent you in the war of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns?" Xue Lingzi laughed coldly.

Xiong Ba laughed as he heard what Xue Lingzi had said. "Exactly. This guy is cunning. I only have doubt whether you have the capability to take part in the war of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns. Why would I care about the people under your command?"

He then added, "You are definitely trying to find excuses to distract the crowd because you are too afraid of the Bear King. If you have what it takes, then come and take a punch from me. If you can withstand my punch, I'll give you an apology and will never disturb you again. However, if you fail, you better leave your participation slot to me so that you won't get killed!"

Xiong Ba's purpose is clear. He wanted to take Mu Chen's slot!

"Hey kid, do you dare to accept this challenge?" Xiong Ba stared at Mu Chen and shouted.

Suddenly, an unanimous sound of agreement spread throughout the building. Most of the crowd was supporting Xiong Ba because Mu Chen was, after all, an outsider. Moreover, most of the supreme fighters who had joined the Upper Earthly Sovereign war felt that it was embarrassing to compete with a Lower Earthly Sovereign. Therefore, they would definitely like to see Mu Chen lose his spot in the war.

Luo Tianshen and Luo Li raised their eyebrows, observing the top fighters' reactions. They had obviously underestimated Mu Chen's infamy within the Western Continent.

If the situation continued, Mu Chen would have a hard time. Even if he decided to completely ignore Xiong Ba, there would still be some other guy who'd like to find trouble with him. Such conflicts and drama would definitely affect Mu Chen's energy.

As Mu Chen had already realized the situation, he stared at Xiong Ba and asked in a calm tone, "Do you really want to fight with me?"

Xiong Ba's eyes were suddenly filled with excitement and energy. "Are you up for it?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "You should offer me a good deal, though. If I lose, I have to hand over my precious slot, but if you lose, I could only acquire an apology? What is that worth?"

Xiong Ba raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want then?"

Mu Chen looked at him and said, "I can take a punch, but you would need to then give me 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid!"

Xiong Ba's eyelids twitched after hearing what he had just said. He immediately went into a rage and said, "What… 80 million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid for just one punch? Are you even worth such a price?"

In the building, countless top fighters could not help but laugh, as 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was almost worth a Lesser Sacred object. The price that Mu Chen had just offered was indeed fierce!

"No, one punch is not worth the price, but the slot to compete for the Child of the Continent is definitely worth it!" Mu Chen smiled and stared at Xiong Ba.

Then, his eyes turned cold and he said, "If you can't even afford to pay this price, then I would suggest that you get away from here as soon as possible, so that you don't embarrass yourself!"

Hearing this, Xiong Ba was extremely mad. After all, 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was not a small amount. Plus, he was not as wealthy as everyone thought, so he honestly could not afford such a huge amount at the moment.

Therefore, Xiong Ba took a glance at Xue Lingzi, who awkwardly dodged his attention. Although he had 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, he had already figured that it would be a waste to use it on Xiong Ba. After all, Xue Lingzi understood Mu Chen's capabilities.

Xiong Ba was angry when he saw Xue Lingzi's awkward expression. This was indeed an embarrassment.

Looking at the embarrassment on Xiong Ba's face, Mu Chen only smiled. The reason he had dared to push up the offer was to set a limit for the others who wanted to take away his slot.

Whoever tried to take it from him would need to pay 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to take on the continuous engagements from others who were looking to fight him for it.

All of the fighters were disappointed when they saw Xiong Ba's defeated look. They were trying to utilize this opportunity to test Mu Chen out, but it turned out that Xiong Ba was the one who had come out on the losing end.

"Haha, 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid? Such a huge appetite you have! I'll pay the price for him." Just as everybody thought the show had come to an end, a flirtatious voice suddenly arose in the building.

Everyone turned and look toward the source. Up in the third floor, a human figure slowly appeared. It was a charming lady.

"That is Ling Feizi, one of the four sacred children of the Western Kingdom War Temple!"

"Why is she interrupting?"

"Haha, This Ling Feizi obviously had some issue with Luo Li. Sometimes the wars between ladies is way more horrifying than men's issues!"

As the charming lady moved forward, whispers could be heard throughout the building.

Ling Feizi immediately locked eyes with Luo Li. Looking at the two ladies' tense interaction, the fighters already knew that the two crowd favourites in the Lower Earthly Sovereign war were starting to get out their claws!

Under numerous watchful eyes, Ling Feizi waved her hand, sending a glowing bottle flying towards Xiong Ba. She then said, "That's 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. I believe the Bear King wouldn't dare disappoint the crowd, right?"

Xiong Ba quickly grabbed the bottle and laughed. "Rest assured, Miss Ling Feizi. I will definitely make this guy regret showing off in our Western Continent!"

Ling Feizi smiled. After all, 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was no big deal to her, but if Xiong Ba could manage to take the slot away from Mu Chen, it would not only do a favour for the War Emperor, but it would also humiliate Luo Li. All of these things were clearly worth the price!

She smiled, while looking at Luo Li, but Luo Li's calm and quiet demeanor made her feel uncomfortable. Let's see how long you can maintain your arrogance when Mu Chen loses!

Xiong Ba held the bottle and stared fiercely at Mu Chen. "Boy, let's see what excuses you can come up with this time!"

Mu Chen smiled as he heard his words. He took a glance at Ling Feizi and realized that her actions were directed against Luo Li specifically. Therefore, there was no excuse for him to back off now.

Mu Chen then took a step forward and said, "Since someone can afford it, then I shall stand right here and take your punch!"
