The Spirit Battle Platform

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Yeah, let this ignorant junior understand who he can't afford to provoke!"

"With his paltry skills, he dares to challenge Young Master Chen? He's courting death!"

"He even talked about a three-year agreement, I think he has no chance even in thirty years!"

East Territory, the Spirit Battle Platform, the clamor was like boiling water, rising higher and higher in waves.

This was a huge circular stone platform, as if the top of a mountain had been flattened by some mysterious force, forming this peculiar sight. No one knew how long this Spirit Battle Platform had existed, only that it had been the place for East Territory cultivators to resolve their grievances since ancient times.

At this moment, the Spirit Battle Platform was surrounded by a sea of people, packed tighter than sardines. Not only was the ground crowded with swarming heads, but there were also figures suspended in the sky, clearly those with profound cultivation, watching the center of the stone platform with rapt attention.

Today was the day that Lin Yuan, a former disciple of the Cloud Water Sect in the East Territory, challenged Su Muchen, the young master of the Central Continent's Holy Gate!

Three years ago, Lin Yuan had publicly vowed, "This time is different from that time! Never underestimate the potential of youth!" He wanted to make Su Muchen pay the price for his previous arrogance. This statement caused an uproar across the Four Region.

Now, the three-year deadline had arrived.

On the Spirit Battle Platform, Lin Yuan and Su Muchen faced each other from a distance.

Lin Yuan was dressed in a green robe, with a simple jade pendant hanging from his waist. His face was stern, his eyes burning with raging flames, staring intently at Su Muchen across from him.

Su Muchen, on the other hand, was wearing a golden silk robe, embroidered with a golden-winged roc soaring through the nine heavens, displaying his noble aura. As expected of the young master of the Central Continent's Holy Gate, his bearing was extraordinary. He held his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, seemingly not taking the challenge before him to heart.

"Su Muchen! The score from three years ago, it's time to settle it properly today!" Lin Yuan's voice was low and hoarse, each word seemingly squeezed from his chest, filled with endless hatred.

Lin Yuan would never forget that day when Su Muchen, this golden-robed youth from the Central Continent, descended upon the East Territory with a superior attitude, taking away everything that originally belonged to him.

Even his childhood sweetheart was forcibly betrothed to Su Muchen as a concubine by the sect master. The hatred of taking his wife was irreconcilable!

The humiliation of that time pierced Lin Yuan's heart like steel needles. He vowed to make Su Muchen pay the price!

Over the past three years, Lin Yuan had cultivated diligently day and night, not daring to slack off in the slightest, all for the sake of washing away his shame today.

Moreover, Lin Yuan wasn't without preparation. He knew Su Muchen's strength, so he had secretly plotted long ago, preparing a trump card powerful enough to turn the tide!

Today, he would let everyone witness that he, Lin Yuan, was by no means a fish to be slaughtered!

He would use this battle to begin his own legend!

However, what puzzled Lin Yuan was that Su Muchen had remained silent from beginning to end, simply looking at him quietly. That gaze was as deep as the sea, making him impossible to fathom.

In fact, Su Muchen's heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.

He was not a native of this world, but a soul from another world. Just a while ago, he was still lying in his comfortable bed, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in this unfamiliar cultivation world.

In this world, shattering the void and flying to the heavens were not mythical legends. The strong could do as they pleased, while the weak could only live on in a pitiful existence, and with the slightest carelessness, they would become stepping stones for the strong, even losing their lives!

The Su Muchen he had possessed had a prominent identity and outstanding talent, being the young master of the Central Continent's top sect, the Holy Gate.

However, based on his past life's experience, Su Muchen keenly realized that he was likely a villainous character – the kind specifically used to be slapped in the face and provide experience for the protagonist's level-up.

Having a prominent family background and powerful strength, he was destined to become an experience pack for the protagonist to defeat monsters and level up! Once defeated or even killed by the protagonist, the forces behind him would continue to jump out and offer their heads, truly a perfect experience baby!

Moreover, the Lin Yuan in front of him fit the protagonist's setup too perfectly. Not to mention that his name was full of a strong protagonist vibe, even his strength was far inferior to his own.

Being weak in strength, yet daring to challenge the powerful him, this was clearly the standard template of a favored son of destiny.

As a rule, in this kind of situation, the protagonist would usually succeed in making a comeback, slapping everyone in the face hard, and then rise all the way, eventually becoming a hegemon.

Su Muchen carefully observed Lin Yuan, since the other party dared to challenge him, he must have had something to rely on. He quickly noticed the jade pendant hanging from his waist.

The jade pendant seemed ordinary, but it faintly exuded a mysterious aura.

"It seems that there should be an old grandpa hidden in this jade pendant, who will help Lin Yuan complete a comeback at a critical moment," Su Muchen thought to himself. "However, now that I have come to this world, how can I easily admit defeat?"

If he were so easily defeated by the protagonist's halo, wouldn't he have wasted this identity?

"Three years ago, you were far from my opponent. Now, what makes you think you can defeat me?" Su Muchen finally spoke, his voice cold, with a hint of disdain.

"Hmph! Don't bully a youth for being poor! Today, I will let you understand what real strength is!" Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance. He had waited for this moment for too long!
