Chapter 282: The Second Generation of Immortals

"I Am Invincible" spoke with an air of casual indifference, but his words struck the Cultivators present like a clap of thunder.

One by one, they were dumbfounded, filled with shock.

They gazed at the man confronting Shen Yurou, their minds a chaotic mess.

He had cultivated to the Transformation God Realm with great difficulty, and then just dispersed his Cultivation to re-Cultivate?

Could it be that achieving a Breakthrough in Cultivation was as easy as eating and drinking?

"I Am Invincible" paid no mind to the shock of others; instead, he looked at Shen Yurou aggressively and asked, "What? You wouldn't think that just because I'm at the Foundation Establishment Stage now, I can't defeat you, would you?"

This statement caused an even greater uproar.

The gap between Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul was like heaven and earth.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch killing an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator was truly no different from crushing an ant.

However, judging by "I Am Invincible's" words, he implied that even though he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator?

How was that possible?

To everyone's horror, the long-haired, feminine-looking Shen Yurou, facing "I Am Invincible's" provocation, did not react.

She merely gave him a wary glance, snorted coldly, and offered no rebuttal.

This was tantamount to directly admitting "I Am Invincible's" claim!

This Nascent Soul cultivator, Shen Yurou, might truly not be a match for the Foundation Establishment cultivator, "I Am Invincible"!

The Cultivators present looked at the golden-armored man with renewed interest.

At this moment, Shen Yurou, who had lost Face, suddenly smiled sweetly and said sarcastically, "Anyone in Nine Mountains State with a bit of news knows that you are the beloved darling of the esteemed Feixue Xianzun. Let alone the Foundation Establishment Stage, even if you were at the Qi Refinement Stage and stood still, letting me attack, I wouldn't dare!"

"If I injured you anywhere, and that Immortal Venerable came knocking, our Lingyuan Sect wouldn't be able to handle it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers' gazes at "I Am Invincible" changed again.

They all showed expressions of understanding.

Shen Yurou's words seemed to have hit "I Am Invincible's" sore spot; his Face instantly darkened, and he stared intently at Shen Yurou.

Shen Yurou, however, had no intention of continuing to entangle with him.

She extended her hand with a smile, making a 'please' gesture.

"I Am Invincible" gave the other party a cold glance, and for some reason, did not continue to cause trouble.

Instead, he turned and entered the passageway.

Just then, a clear, childish voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Wait, wait! I'm with him, let me through!"

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw a little girl in red, only seven or eight years old, shouting and running quickly towards "I Am Invincible."

Behind her followed a middle-aged man with bronze skin, a somewhat helpless expression on his Face.

The little girl was naturally Su Xiaomei, and the middle-aged man was Zhang Haobo.

Su Xiaomei scurried over to "I Am Invincible," patted his arm, looking as if she had just made it in time.

"Let's go, let's go!"

She urged, her large, innocent eyes fixed on "I Am Invincible."

"I Am Invincible" was initially somewhat bewildered, glanced at the little girl who had appeared out of nowhere, and was about to say something.

But his expression subtly changed, and the words on the tip of his tongue instantly changed: "Alright! Let's go!"

He revealed a rather playful smile and entered the passageway.

Zhang Haobo's expression was solemn as he followed closely.

Everyone watched them leave, speculating about the little girl's identity.

Shen Yurou's expression was also unpredictable, deep in thought.

The passageway through Shixi Mountain was seven or eight li long, cutting through the mountain.

It seemed to have been forcibly carved out of the center of the mountain, and at regular intervals, Cultivators from the Lingyuan Sect could be seen stationed there.

"I Am Invincible" did not ask about Su Xiaomei's origin or intentions; he simply focused on traveling.

Zhang Haobo then sent a voice transmission to Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, what are you trying to do? This person ahead is not to be trifled with. Why are you so determined to associate with him? Is it just to save those two hundred Spirit Stones?"

Su Xiaomei's steps paused: "What Spirit Stones! Am I that stingy? Stop treating me like a child, alright!"

"Besides, you're such an adult, why are you so timid?"

"What 'not to be trifled with'… he's at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and so am I. What's there to be afraid of!"

Zhang Haobo was somewhat speechless at being retorted.

Your Foundation Establishment Stage, and his Foundation Establishment Stage, how can they be the same?

However, the somewhat rebellious Su Xiaomei not only did not restrain herself but instead leaned closer, asking questions left and right.

"Is your name really 'I Am Invincible'? Why is that name so strange?"

"Were you really a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator before, and then dispersed your Cultivation to re-Cultivate?"

"What's it like to become a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?"

"That armor you're wearing just now was nice, is it some kind of treasure?"

…

Zhang Haobo's Face turned a little pale listening from behind, fearing that "I Am Invincible" would be angered by Xiaomei and turn hostile.

However, although "I Am Invincible" did not answer Su Xiaomei's questions, he did not get angry.

He even showed a faint, inexplicable smile on his Face.

Zhang Haobo immediately understood.

He knew that the Cultivation Technique Su Xiaomei cultivated allowed her to detect the most subtle emotional changes in those around her.

Her previous actions seemed reckless, but in reality, there was no risk.

"It seems Xiaomei has another motive? Indeed, I shouldn't underestimate her just because of her young age," Zhang Haobo mused to himself.

The three traveled together, with only Su Xiaomei chattering incessantly.

Soon, they had traversed the passageway and left the vicinity of Shixi Mountain.

At this point, "I Am Invincible," who had been silent, suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at Su Xiaomei and asked with interest, "You're an interesting little one. We're strangers, aren't we? Why did you say you're with me?"

Su Xiaomei tilted her head and said innocently, "Aren't we together now, traveling? Doesn't that make us a team?"

Her cunning eyes darted around as she asked, "You still haven't answered my question!"

"I Am Invincible" chuckled lightly, not getting angry: "Alright, then let me introduce myself first. My humble self is Shuo Feng, and 'I Am Invincible' is just a nickname I use when traveling the world. What about you, little girl?"

"My name is Su Xiaomei, and the one next to me is Zhang Haobo!" Su Xiaomei replied quickly.

"Su Xiaomei…" Shuo Feng repeated the name.

Then he looked at her seriously and asked, "Su Xiaomei, what are your intentions with me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Haobo immediately became somewhat nervous.

Su Xiaomei, however, was fearless, her eyes sparkling as she answered cheerfully, "Because your name is too arrogant!"

"Invincible?"

"I don't accept it! I want to fight you!"

This answer, however, was beyond Shuo Feng's expectations.

He was stunned for a moment.

Then he burst out laughing.

"Good! Interesting little one!"

"Perfect, I've been itching for a fight on this journey."

"This place is open and deserted. How about we have our battle right here?"
