Two Brain Dead Protagonists (1)

"Anytime..."

That one word was the signal that attracted every single powerhouse present over the Holyland cause this casual fight might very well reveal some level of Mu Chen's actual strength

Xi Shi grabbed her sword and this time unlike with the Xiao Wenqian, she was really showing her peak fighting spirit with complete intent to clash the blades against Mu Chen

She grabbed her sword and in a single flash arrived just one step before Mu Chen, meanwhile her sword was already a few inches above him

"Excellent footwork"

Despite the speed and the destructive strength that move possessed Mu Chen just casually complimented Xi Shi and next with a smooth curve of his sword he deflected the Xi Shi's blade without even applying his sword intent there

"I couldn't even see it..."

"So it was not just Brother Mu Chen that was an exceptional talent, even Sister Xi Shi is blessed by law..."

In the skies the disciple of Transcendent Melody and Martial Celestial, the Core Disciples Gong Xiaoling and Yuan Zhu who have already pledged their alliance to Mu Chen were seen feeling a series of goosebumps by mere show of beginner skills performed by Mu Chen and Xi Shi

"Sister Xi Shi has excellent footwork and even her sword talent... I'm afraid in the whole Holyland she might be second or maybe third after Brother Mu Chen"

"As expected we did well swearing our alliance instead of acting against such a man"

Both Gong Xiaoling and Yuan Zhu seemed to be nodding with satisfaction but just then they noticed another presence standing just a few hundred meters away from them watching the same duel

The Core Disciple Hao Meng who had sworn his alliance to Mu Chen after getting his soul enslaved to him was present there but unlike anytime in the past his current self seemed to possess a highly mature presence

He definitely seemed to have gotten much less enthusiastic and talkative, even the air of little brightness and pride around him had diminished immensely but the him right now seemed to be somehow better than his past self

He was standing mid air silently watching the duel with no emotions visible over his face whatsoever but his eyes seemed to be enlightened by some new truth, with another darkish aura around him he just focused over duel without even baiting eyes at the never seen before Zodiac Beasts present there or even the fellow core disciples not far away

"Brother Hao Meng seems somehow much cooler right now?"

"I almost didn't recognise him... How can someone change so much in so little time?"

Gong Xiaoling and Yuan Zhu were stunned by that change in Hao Meng but as they were muttering suddenly Xiao Wenqian was seen slowly descending while sitting over head of Mu Chen's dragon

"A change in soul for the betterment of a person is a good thing isn't it, seniors? So why worry"

Xiao Wenqian said the words and as she did that both Gong Xiaoling and Yuan Zhu turned towards her in little surprise and observed her and the dragon she was sitting on in a similar manner as Mu Chen

'Little Cloud? Who is she to dare sit on Brother Mu Chen's Dragon?'

Gong Xiaoling was a little surprised but the next moment Xiao Wenqian introduced herself with a little smile on her face

"I'm Xiao Wenqian, the 6th Disciple of my master, Mu Chen! It's an honour to see the seniors here"

'Brother Mu Chen's Disciple?!'

'So that's why she is acting so easy here'

Both Gong Xiaoling and Yuan Zhu flashed with little realisations and returned the greetings with gesture but just next moment without both of them even realising Hao Meng was also seen standing beside them to greet Xiao Wenqian

"It's an honour meeting Brother Mu Chen's Disciple today, I'm Core Disciple Hao Meng but you can just call Big Brother Hao anytime, I will be in your care in future"

Xiao Wenqian saw Hao Meng and nodded but with her instincts as a blood of Ancient Naag Race she could easily sense the smell of Mu Chen's soul energy around him

"It will be an honour Big Brother Hao! You can also call me Little Xiao!"

Hao Meng nodded showing trace of little smile on his face which has became quite rare now, both Gong Xiaoling and Yuan Zhu were a little dumb founded by that fast development in bonds between Xiao Wenqian and Hao Meng and were just left staring

This bond was surely going to be an important asset for Mu Chen's moves in future but at same time as Mu Chen's pawns have been already assembled here the Heaven's Pawns were moving around the Blessed Void Immortal World like wild boars with overindulgence in their own pride
