Chapter 114: Profound Arts

Chapter 114: Profound Arts

Then Zhao Tong proceeded to give a detailed explanation, much like the previous encounter with Song Yu. When Chen Mu inquired about the location and specific circumstances, Zhao Tong acted as if he couldn't disclose anything until they joined.

Chen Mu was well aware that this would be the outcome, but he pretended to look regretful and said, "I'm sorry, our understanding of Qingbei is not profound. How about we discuss it when we have the chance in the future?"

"If that's the case, we won't insist," Zhao Tong's expression showed genuine regret.

"Can we leave then?" Chen Mu asked.

Zhao Tong sighed, "Originally, even if you didn't join Qingbei, we wouldn't trouble you two. But the situation has become somewhat special now."

"Hmm?"

"This place is considered one of Qingbei's secret bases. If it's discovered by outsiders, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the organization. Luckily, we should finish transporting everything here in three days. So, how about this? You two stay here for three days, and we'll provide you with food, drinks, and necessities. After three days, you're free to leave. How does that sound?"

Chen Mu furrowed his brow.

To be honest, for a major force like Qingbei, this wasn't considered bullying.

However, for Chen Mu, staying here for three days was clearly impractical.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

In no more than half an hour, Wei Dalei and the others would surely become impatient and come to check. It would be even more troublesome then.

Before he could respond, Zhao Tong continued, "I know this request is a bit unreasonable. Personally, I have no ill intentions toward you two, but as a member of Qingbei, I must consider the organization. Hence, I'm willing to give you both a chance."

"A chance?"

"Yes," Zhao Tong pointed to Yang Buan, who was standing beside him, and said, "As long as you can defeat little Yang here, you can leave freely. But if you lose, please stay here peacefully for three days. How does that sound?"

This so-called chance was essentially no different from not saying anything at all.

It's just that, on the surface, Zhao Tong didn't seem to intend to take action himself.

Chen Mu wondered if Zhao Tong was extremely confident in Yang Buan or if he had other plans.

Upon hearing this, Yang Buan straightened his back even more.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mu asked, "Can we go together?"

"This... I don't really know what to say," Zhao Tong seemed unsure how to respond.

"Haha, just kidding," Chen Mu said, looking at the young man beside Zhao Tong, "Yang Buan?"

"That's me!"

"The man destined to become the strongest esper?"

"Yes," Yang Buan's face lit up with excitement, "Has my reputation spread that far already?"

"Yes, I've heard about your name for quite some time now. I just had a question," Chen Mu feigned curiosity at the right moment.

Yang Buan continued to shout loudly, "But if that's all you've got, you won't escape failure today! Take this!"

"Secret Technique: Three Stars Chase Each Other!"

Just like before, three stones were shot from between his fingers.

However, this time, they were fired in succession.

The first stone wasn't fast and had extremely poor accuracy, passing by Chen Mu about one body's length away. He thought it was just a mistake and didn't pay it much attention.

However, the second stone followed the same trajectory as before, although it was faster, it still posed no threat.

After two consecutive misses, Chen Mu realized something was wrong. He was considering whether to turn around and look when he heard a crisp sound from behind.

It was the sound of two stones colliding with each other.

Chen Mu's thoughts quickly shifted, and he suddenly lowered his head.

One of the stones grazed past his hair.

Not only that, but the third stone from the front had already arrived as scheduled, aiming at Chen Mu's lower body.

Although he could clearly see the stone's trajectory, because he was bent over, both jumping and blocking with his shield felt extremely awkward.

In the end, he could only roll to the side to evade.

But in doing so, Chen Mu's forward momentum abruptly stopped, and he was frightened, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He was careless.

This guy is really skilled!

Yang Buan was also astonished, shouting, "Wow, impressive! You couldn't even land a hit with that move. You truly deserve to be a man qualified to battle me. It seems I'll have to use some real skills now."

As he spoke, he slightly squatted down, grabbed his right forearm with his left hand, and extended his right palm forward. In the gaps between his fingers, several more stones were loaded.
