"You actually want to get beaten to a pulp?"

Silence...

At this moment, everyone found themselves in a state of confusion, unsure of the source of their bewilderment. Should it be Eli Shan's words, which didn't match his innocent smile, or his audacity in speaking to Mu Cheng that way?

Before Mu Cheng could reply, everyone came back to their senses and burst into laughter. "This slim guy, who looks like he hasn't eaten anything for days, wants to fight against Mu Cheng?"

"Brat, do you even know who Mu Cheng is? He is a brother of the student's king. Even if he wasn't the king's brother, you wouldn't be a match for Mu Cheng. Mu Cheng's realm has reached the late stage of the True Qi Realm, let alone his brother, who is a king."

Everyone began to mock Eli Shan, except the girls!

Feng Qiang turned to Eli Shan and looked at him with gentleness in her eyes, making Mu Cheng even more angry, "Eli Shan, let's leave from here, I might be able to hold my own against him, but his realm is still higher than me, after cultivating for a bit, I will definitely take today's revenge."

Eli Shan shook his head, his expression growing more serious. "So, was it him who injured you? Tell me the truth this time."

Before Feng Qiang could respond, Mu Cheng's voice erupted, his frustration boiling over. He grasped Eli Shan's collar with clenched fists, his face twisted with anger as he shouted so loudly that everyone in the market could hear, "Brat, it was her who wanted to fight me even though all I wanted was to make her my queen. And it was a fair match, I just wanted to show her that I am strong enough to protect her from anyone."

Eli Shan, unfazed by Mu Cheng's outburst, pushed his chair back and rose to his full height, locking eyes with Mu Cheng. His innocent smile faded entirely, replaced by a scowl of anger. "I don't know who you are," Eli Shan murmured, his voice filled with intensity and slowly growing loudly, "And honestly, I don't even care about it. But you dared to injure Feng Qiang for your selfish reasons." He seized Mu Cheng's wrist, which was holding his collar, and clenched it tightly, causing Mu Cheng to lose his grip. "Meet me at the fighting stage, right now."

Without waiting for a response, Eli Shan gently held Feng Qiang's hand and led her toward the fighting arena. The crowd watched in silence as a sense of respect for Eli Shan swept over them. But still, they considered him a madman. After all, who in their right mind would dare challenge Mu Cheng? Even if he somehow managed to win, so what? Mu Cheng's brother, the king of the students, was strong enough to annihilate him by just a glance!

As the crowd speculated, Mu Cheng was in a state of shock as he looked at his trembling hand. "He certainly has a strong body," Mu Cheng mused and clenched his fist tightly, "But his strength can't surpass my cultivation." He was already filled with anger ever since he saw Eli Shan sitting with Feng Qiang, but he was controlling it just because it was against the rule to fight anyone outside of the fighting stage. Now that Eli Shan challenged him to fight there, he no longer needed to take him there by force!

There were several fighting stages in the school, and Eli Shan quickly found the nearest one to the market.

He turned to Feng Qiang and smiled at her, "I will take your revenge, don't worry."

Feng Qiang shook her head, her eyes reflecting both gratitude and concern. "I am really happy that you are fighting for me, but Mu Cheng is strong. You don't have to fight against him and you certainly don't need to make enemies with his brother for me."

Eli Shan extended his hand, a grin on his face as his two fingers playfully flicked Feng Qiang's forehead. "Do you think I am weak? Did you forget that, I am many times stronger than you? Hahaha."
