Chapter 322 - 223: Bitter Battle (Extra thanks to Xin Zai Xia Xue for the support)
If the meaning of life lies in constant fighting, then the significance of a person’s life is to fight continuously and achieve victory.
Mu Can had taken this saying as his personal motto. No matter how powerful the enemy, no matter how treacherous the path ahead, Mu Can would steadfastly continue on. The road he chose, no matter how full of hardships and trials, Mu Can would never give up.
"Stop playing tricks, if you want to fight, let’s fight." Mu Can lost his patience. He knew that since the mysterious man in black was part of the trial, things became very simple—it was to defeat him and turn him into red light that could nourish his own body.
Although he said this out loud, Mu Can was silently communicating with the Reincarnation Pearl, to have enough power to protect himself when he truly encountered danger. Right now, only the Reincarnation Pearl could grant him this power.
"Got a temper, do you? Before I came here, I had a temper just like yours," said the man in black. Although he held daggers in his hands and looked fierce, his voice was soft and gentle, causing a feeling of fondness upon hearing it, even sparking curiosity about what kind of face lay beneath that black veil to have such a tender voice.
"Before coming here? Enough with the tricks; if we’re to fight, let’s fight," said Mu Can as he activated the Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions. His arms, covered in dragon scales, reflected a faint light, dazzling to behold.
"A snake’s cultivation technique," said the man in black as he looked at Mu Can’s arms, a hint of memory flickering across his expression.
"It’s been too long since I’ve moved, so long that it feels like my body is rotting away. Who am I? Who am I really? Why can’t I remember who I am? Who am I? Who am I, really?" The man in black started mumbling to himself, but soon became increasingly agitated, grasping his head tightly in pain.
What kind of act is this? Aren’t we supposed to be fighting? Mu Can could already feel that although the man in black was powerful, he wasn’t absurdly so—his strength was about that of a Martial Saint at the peak, plus it was very likely that he had been sealed for countless years. Mu Can felt that he had a fighting chance against him.
