"Is that comprehension?" He asked, his eyes staring right at Mu Shen and Mu Shen rolled his eyes.
"What the hell is so special about comprehension techniques? I don't care a shit about them. To me, they are just a bunch of flawed techniques that can be seen through."
The man was surprised. "They are flawed?"
Mu Shen immediately smiled darkly as it strangely reached his eyes. "Yes and those flaws are so obvious if you take a careful look. I know that someone like you can only wish to comprehend that mystery technique and yes, they are difficult to come by."
The man dropped his Saber and said: "Does it have to do with our heart?"
Mu Shen sighed. For the first time, someone did not actually know about Liu Fuxue. Probably, if he had encountered the bleeding sky before, he would have recognized it the moment it was used and that is because that technique leaves the feeling of dread into any soul that encounters it. It wasn't easy to forget something that had caused them so much anxiety.
"Comprehension techniques only have to be comprehended and that can only happen after one has reached a certain stage of power and you're definitely not there yet."
The man stared at Mu Shen, unwilling to believe. How can a Sentinel tell a Melder that he would not be able to comprehend a mystery technique unless he had reached a certain stage of power. He stared at Mu Shen and then sneered.
"You're a Sentinel and you've already comprehended one, how can there be a difference in power?"
Mu Shen did not bother to tell him that he did not actually comprehend it and he said:
"You know that if we contest with nothing but brute strength, I might destroy this spacecraft and we really need to go to the Main Zone."
The man's eyes flashed.
"We have a safe bunker within the ship, where whatever damages done to the ship are automatically healed and repaired. At the same time, we would be heading to the Main Zone, it is no longer far from here."
Mu Shen suddenly thought of something and looked outside the window only to see outer space and a blurred expanse.
"So, we've already been on the move all these while, I like the way you think. Also, you're deserving of my respect by the way. We can start the contest now. I hope— your bunker can really repair my damages."
These were deliberate provocation and the man was not happy.
The next moment, they arrived within a small compartment and entered a manhole.
The manhole led directly into the bunker and when Mu Shen stepped in, he was stunned by what he saw. The entire place was glowing.
Runes?
He traced the rudimentary runes with his fingers and then there was a strange thought in his head.
He immediately raised his feet and punched at the wall. There was a deafening ring that caused the void to tremble. The walls were blasted away only to be restored in a blink of an eye.
"Wow!"
"So I can actually go all out?"
The Heavenly Dao of Seven Rivers Technique activated, filling his smallish body with insane strength. He flicked his fingers and the space around them rippled dramatically.
Mu Shen struggled not to show his sudden exertion because, knowing that Legendary Technique too well, it was just too tasking or demanding.
Mu Shen simply played with the space around, causing cracks to appear in the void, space and air. It destroyed the bunker while the rudimentary runes repaired it.
The man meanwhile was horrified. How can a human being possess such a ridiculous amount of strength? It was just too exaggerated. To crown it all, he even wanted to contest with him.
He was suddenly nervous. But he did not want to quit, knowing that he would lose face to his subordinates.
Mu Shen smiled, realizing that he had accomplished his task. He quickly stopped using the Legendary Technique and silently breathed a sigh of relief. If the man still wanted to contest with him, Mu Shen would not mind Killing him with a single punch.
If he was a reasonable person, he should be able to point out the outcome of the contest and put a stop to it.
"How many hours from here to the Main Zone?"
The man smiled brightly and said; "then please follow me to the pilots cabin and I'll give you a definite answer."
Not that he didn't know the hour it would take to journey from this location to the Main Zone. But it was his own way of dismissing the idea of contesting after seeing the kind of strength that Mu Shen actually possessed.
Mu Shen himself did not protest.
'What a smart little man.'
'Don't get yourself killed. Become much more powerful in the future, then challenge me. By then, you should be able to stand a chance.'
Mu Shen did not say this out loud, however he already knew what the man was thinking about.
Obviously, they wouldn't cross paths with each other again. But, the world is as large as heaven so, it is not entirely impossible.
When they arrived at the pilot's cabinet, Mu Shen learnt that there was only two hours left before they arrived at the Main Zone.
