Chapter 300: 280: This Body, Immortal for 2 eras
They all stared in shock, completely stunned.
They stared at the man who was confronting Shen Yurou, their minds in a complete mess.
Did he casually discard his achievement of the God Transformation Realm and start his cultivation from scratch?
Could it be that breaking through in cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking for him?
[I am Invincible] seemed indifferent to the shock surrounding him. Seeing Shen Yurou, he asked sharply, “What’s the matter? You don’t think I can beat you just because I’m at the Foundation Establishment Stage, do you?”
This statement stirred up an uproar.
The gap between Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul is like heaven and earth.
The True Lord of Nascent Soul could easily annihilate a common Foundation Establishment Cultivator as if crushing an ant.
But from what [I am Invincible] was implying, even though he was at Foundation Establishment Stage, he could defeat a Nascent Soul Monk?
How could that be possible?
What shocked people was that Shen Yurou, the delicate-looking long-haired man, showed no sign of anger in the face of [I am Invincible]’s challenge.
He just cast a wary glance at [I am Invincible], snorted coldly, and didn’t argue back.
His reaction was tantamount to acknowledging [I am Invincible]’s statement!
It seems that Shen Yurou, who is at the Nascent Soul Stage, might indeed be no match for [I am Invincible], who is at the Foundation Establishment Stage!
The crowd of cultivators looked at the man in golden armor with different eyes.
Shen Yurou, having had his dignity challenged, smiled faintly and said sarcastically, “Who in Jiushan Province doesn’t know that you are the beloved of the Frostive Immortal? Even if you were at the Energy Refining Stage, I wouldn’t dare touch you even if you stood there and let me strike!”
“If you got injured, and she showed up at our Elemental Spirit Sect’s doorstep, we wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences!”
At these words, the cultivators changed their gazes towards [I am Invincible] once again.
Their expressions were filled with realization.
Shen Yurou’s words seemed to have struck a nerve with [I am Invincible], his face instantly darkened as he glared at Shen Yurou.
But Shen Yurou didn’t have any intention of pursuing the matter further with him.
He just smiled and gestured with his hand, making a “please” gesture.
[I am Invincible] gave him a cold glare, but for some reason didn’t stir up any more trouble.
Instead, he turned around and walked into the passage.
Just at that moment, a clear and childish voice rang out from the crowd, “Wait, wait! I’m with him, let me through!”
The crowd was startled and turned to look at the source of the sound.
A little girl in red, who was about seven or eight years old, was shouting and rushing towards [I am Invincible].
Behind her, there was a middle-aged man with a bronze skin and a somewhat helpless expression on his face.
The little girl was naturally Su Xiaomei and the middle-aged man was Zhang Haobo.
Su Xiaomei quickly ran to [I am Invincible], patted his arm as if relieved that she had caught up.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
She gazed at [I am Invincible] with her innocent big eyes and urged him on.
[I am Invincible] looked at the little girl who had suddenly popped out of nowhere, about to say something.
However, his expression shifted slightly, and the words on the tip of his tongue changed, “Alright! Let’s go!”
He revealed a playful smile and entered the passageway.
Zhang Haobo followed closely behind, his face serious.
The crowd watched them leave, all speculating about the little girl’s identity.
Meanwhile, Shen Yurou’s expression fluctuated, seemingly deep in thought.
The passage through Shixi Mountain is seven to eight miles long, cutting through the mountain.
It looked as if it was forcibly hewn from the center of the mountain. Every now and then, one could see cultivators from the Elemental Spirit Sect guarding it.
[I am Invincible] didn’t inquire about Su Xiaomei’s background and intentions, he simply focused on their journey.
Zhang Haobo then sent Su Xiaomei a message, “Xiaomei, what are you trying to do? This person is not one to be easily provoked. Why did you insist on associating yourself with him? Could it be just to save those two hundred Spirit Stones?”
Su Xiaomei stopped in her tracks, “Spirit Stones? Am I that stingy? And don’t you always treat me like a child!”
“Besides, you’re an adult. How can you be so timid?”
“What’s there to fear… He’s at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and so am I. Why should I be scared of him?!”
Zhang Haobo was left speechless.
Your Foundation Establishment Stage, is it the same as others’ Foundation Establishment Stage?
However, the defiant Su Xiaomei became even more relentless and started chit-chatting with [I am Invincible] even more.
“Is your real name [I am Invincible]? That’s a weird name, isn’t it?”
“Were you really a God Transforming cultivator before and then you started your cultivation over?”
“What’s it like to be a God Transforming cultivator?”
“That armor you had on earlier was great. Is it some sort of treasure?”
Zhang Haobo looked on, his face turning a bit pale, fearing [I am Invincible] would lose his temper and attack him.
However, although [I am Invincible] didn’t answer Su Xiaomei’s questions, he didn’t get angry.
Even a faint smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Haobo suddenly understood.
He knew that the technique Su Xiaomei practiced allowed her to detect even the slightest changes in people’s emotions.
Her previous actions appeared reckless, but they were actually risk-free.
“It seems that Xiaomei has another motive? Indeed, I shouldn’t underestimate her just because she is young,” Zhang Haobo thought to himself.
The trio went on their journey, with only Su Xiaomei chattering away.
Soon, they had passed through the passage and left the area of Shixi Mountain.
At that moment, [I am Invincible], who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stopped.
He turned his head to look at Su Xiaomei and asked with amusement, “You’re an interesting little girl. We’re strangers, right? So why did you say you’re with me?”
Su Xiaomei tilted her head, innocently replied, “Since we are traveling together now, doesn’t that mean we are in the same group?”
Her cunning eyes twinkled. She then asked, “You didn’t answer my questions!”
[I am Invincible] chuckled, not upset, “Alright then, I’ll introduce myself first. My name is Shuo Feng. [I am Invincible] is just a nickname I use. What about you, little girl?”
“My name is Su Xiaomei and the man was Zhang Haobo!” Su Xiaomei replied quickly.
“Su Xiaomei…” Shuo Feng repeated the name.
He then looked at her seriously and asked, “Su Xiaomei, what do you want with me?”
At this question, Zhang Haobo became anxious.
But Su Xiaomei seemed fearless, her eyes shining brightly. She boldly said, “Who told you to have such an arrogant name?”
“Invincible?”
“I don’t believe it! I want to challenge you!”
This answer was beyond Shuo Feng’s expectations.
He was stunned.
Then he burst into laughter.
“Good! What an interesting little lady!”
“Moreover, I’ve been feeling a bit itching to fight someone since I set out.”
“This place is wide and uninhabited, why not have a fight here?”
