Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

As she spoke, Mu Junwu placed her hand directly on the back of Mu Chen’s hand, then gently held it. "Even if I touch him like this, Mo’Er won’t have the slightest reaction. This can only mean one thing."

"I... can’t get off this boat either."

...

In what felt like a flash, another month quietly passed. Mu Chen’s time-based Cultivation Resources had long been depleted. For the entire month after waking up, Mu Chen didn’t immediately try to find a way to obtain more Cultivation Resources. Instead, he immersed himself in adapting to the Martial Artist Realm. Although his advanced Martial Arts Realm didn’t require refinement, he had crossed six realms in two months. Without fully adapting to his Primordial Power, he probably wouldn’t be able to control it properly during a fight.

*Huuu...*

Greeting the morning light, Mu Chen, who was outside the Ten-Color Lotus, slowly opened his eyes as two sharp glints of light flashed out. In these three months, his appearance had once again undergone a huge change. First and foremost was his long, icy-blue hair. After being baptized by a full vial of Holy Realm Flame Dragon Blood, his icy-blue hair had completely turned crimson-purple. Next were his eyes. His icy-blue pupils hadn’t changed at all, but the whites of his eyes now had a faint pink tint. At first glance, they possessed an enchanting beauty that could bewitch one’s soul.

At this moment, he was bare-chested. His noticeable increase in height made his figure appear even more upright. He had broad shoulders and a well-proportioned body, with no bulging muscles or crisscrossing veins, yet this couldn’t hide the terrifying Explosive Power within his frame. He stood there calmly, not emitting a single ripple of Primordial Power, but he still gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

Suddenly, his figure flashed. His crimson hair flew as a massive amount of Primordial Power erupted from him. He threw a punch, the force of it whistling through the air. In an instant, a huge vacuum nearly ten meters in diameter appeared before him. A whirlwind of Primordial Power rippled from the edge of this vacuum, spreading in all directions.

All of this happened in a mere instant. By the time one’s gaze focused back on Mu Chen, there was no trace of any Primordial Power fluctuations. In fact, from the moment he erupted with power to the moment he attacked, the Martial Ring of his realm never even appeared beneath his feet.

Still as a maiden, swift as a darting rabbit!

But this was only the beginning. Mu Chen moved again, his body like a phantom. With a slip of his feet, the vast fluctuation of Primordial Power erupted once more. Another tricky punch was thrown, creating a vacuum again. However, the instant the punch was thrown, the Primordial Power surging from within Mu Chen’s body dissipated once more.

Following that, Mu Chen’s movements and the speed of his punches grew ever faster, the angles of his attacks becoming sharper and more bizarre. The surrounding Primordial Power fluctuations rhythmically erupted and dissipated, erupted and dissipated. In a flash, countless afterimages appeared on the platform of the Eternal Holy Domain. These afterimages didn’t last long, disappearing in just half a breath, but they were still shocking to behold.

Standing in the distance, the two women stared at Mu Chen with focused and solemn gazes. A strange light glinted in Mu Junwu’s eyes as she said, "Incredible. Qing’Er, can you see the Martial Ring appearing beneath Mu Chen’s feet?"

Chu Aoqing’s expression was even more shocked. Hearing Mu Junwu’s question, she shook her head and said, "I can’t. His attack style is very strange, a method of offense I’ve never seen before. Can you see it, Sister Jun Wu?"

Mu Junwu said excitedly, "I can’t see it either. It truly is a strange method of offense. He’s really a guy who’s good at creating miracles. If I’m not mistaken, he’s undergoing a type of training, one that focuses on mastering the control of Primordial Power to the absolute limit."

Chu Aoqing asked, surprised and doubtful, "What is that?"

Mu Junwu said, "Just as the name implies, it’s a training to control Primordial Power. As you know, when a normal Martial Artist enters a combat state, they directly release the Primordial Power in their body and keep it constantly projected outwards. This is to be able to quickly execute the next attack and defense. After all, mobilizing Primordial Power from the Dantian to the entire body takes a certain amount of time. Although this time is very, very short, in a duel between experts, it’s an opening that can easily be exploited."

"However, constantly projecting Primordial Power has huge disadvantages. The most obvious one is that endlessly projecting it is actually a process of burning and consuming Primordial Power. Even if the amount consumed is negligible for a Martial Artist, according to my research and calculations, if a battle lasts for thirty minutes, then no matter how high their realm, a Martial Artist will consume one-tenth of their Primordial Power in the process of projecting it. Of course, this excludes their own Primordial Power regeneration. But if this one-tenth of Primordial Power isn’t consumed at all, and you add in one’s own recovery rate, then a Martial Artist’s ability to sustain combat will increase by twenty percent or even more!"

"That’s the first point. Second, projecting Primordial Power inevitably exposes your Martial Arts Realm. Based on the Martial Arts Realm, an experienced Martial Artist can easily judge how powerful you are and strategize accordingly. As for the third point, it’s the most fatal disadvantage of projecting Primordial Power: the tell. When experts fight, they can predict your next move based on the fluctuating state of your Primordial Power and easily neutralize your attack."

As she spoke, Mu Junwu’s eyes never moved from Mu Chen for a second. Listening to the continuous sonic booms in the air, she continued, "And yet, none of what I’ve said has any effect on Mu Chen. His mastery of Primordial Power control has already surpassed countless experts, even... Lord Dilaka. You could even say this is a completely self-created combat Technique!"

As her words fell, the roaring on the platform abruptly stopped, and Mu Chen’s figure slowly appeared. His long hair danced in the wind, his face filled with delight. Seeing the two women standing not far from him, he waved and took a step to their side, smiling. "When did you two come out?"

Chu Aoqing, just snapping out of her daze from Mu Junwu’s explanation, saw the bare-chested Mu Chen in front of her, and her face grew hot. "We just came out a little while ago. We saw you doing your morning training, so we watched for a bit."

Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled slightly, a glint in his eyes. "So, did you figure anything out?"

Chu Aoqing said helplessly, "I couldn’t tell, but Sister Jun Wu did. She said you were practicing your control over Primordial Power."

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mu Junwu in admiration and nodded. "That’s right, but I’m not just practicing. With the simultaneous improvement of my Martial Arts Realm, Spiritual Power, and physical strength, I can now skillfully control this power."

"So how does it feel?" Mu Junwu was a little excited. Staying in the Eternal Holy Domain was always very boring, so she often spent her time thinking about other problems and conducting research no one had done before. With Mu Chen, she had already seen too many shocking things. This time, she was going to ask for guidance without shame.

"Ah, it feels great." Mu Chen clasped his hands, unable to hide the joy in his eyes. He continued, "At the very least, when I performed those movements just now, I saved at least thirty percent more Primordial Power compared to constantly releasing it. More importantly, through this intermittent control, I can add even greater Explosive Power to my attacks, and it’s extremely easy to launch a surprise attack."

"What did you say? Intermittent control?!" Mu Junwu instantly looked as if she had discovered a new continent. With a flip of her jade-like hand, a Scroll appeared out of thin air. The two words ’Intermittent Control’ were immediately recorded on it, leaving the nearby Mu Chen and Chu Aoqing stunned.

Rubbing his nose, Mu Chen asked in confusion, "Jun Wu, what are you doing?"

"Recording." Mu Junwu paid no mind to their strange looks. After writing the two words, she added Mu Chen’s name after them, then closed and put away the Scroll. She smiled sweetly. "Don’t find it strange, it’s just a habit of mine. You haven’t entered the Eternal Holy Domain for a whole month. What are your plans now?"

"Plans?" Mu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "I’ve decided to go check out the arena. After all, the most urgent matter is to get a large amount of time-based Cultivation Resources. This time I go out, I hope I can earn enough for an entire year."

Mu Junwu smiled slightly. "Mm, then I’ll go with you. I haven’t been to the Inner Mountain even once since returning from the Empire tournament. It’s a good chance to take a look."

"What about Aoqing?" Mu Chen asked.

"Of course I’m going too. Don’t forget my status." Chu Aoqing shot Mu Chen a glare and walked toward the Dazzling Stars first.

Helpless, Mu Chen and Mu Junwu exchanged a glance and quickly followed after her...

On the first level of the Inner Mountain, a full three months had passed since Mu Chen’s great battle with Shan Tianyu. During this time, countless students had gone to the dining hall almost every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of this special Martial Sect member who had defeated Shan Tianyu and won the heart of the academy’s goddess, Chu Aoqing.

But surprisingly, ever since that battle, it was as if Mu Chen had evaporated into thin air, completely disappearing from everyone’s sight. Not just him, but even Chu Aoqing, who could occasionally be seen in the cafeteria or on the Fourth Level, vanished along with him. This sparked all sorts of speculation and gossip among the students.

There were two main popular rumors. The first was that Shan Tianyu had retaliated against Mu Chen, using his authority to have him kicked out of Holy Tomb Mountain, while Chu Aoqing had been persuaded by her family to return to her clan. After all, Mu Chen was just a nobody with no background whatsoever, while many people knew of Chu Aoqing’s status. It was completely impossible for the two of them to be together.

The second rumor was that the strength Mu Chen had displayed was too immense, and he had been taken under the wing of an Inner Mountain Elder, now undergoing specialized, systematic training somewhere. And since Chu Aoqing had been conquered by him, she naturally had to accompany him, which was why they both disappeared from the Inner Mountain. This rumor was clearly much more credible than the first one, but it also gave countless people room for their own fantasies.

But that was all from a month ago. Three months is enough time for people to forget many things, and for hot topics to grow cold. At the very least, the name "Mu Chen" had already been buried in the depths of their minds...
