Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

Waiting for Mu Chen to return from his bath, he discovered that Yun Zhi had also just finished bathing outside.

Yun Zhi sat beside the Little Fairy Doctor, helping her lean against the grass carp Yun Zhi had caught.

"Are you back?" the Little Fairy Doctor asked.

"Yes," Mu Chen nodded.

"Are you hungry?" the Little Fairy Doctor inquired.

"A little," Mu Chen nodded again.

"Sit down first, I'll grill some fish for you. Let you taste the skills of both of us. After eating roasted meat for days, today we'll change it up a bit. Here are some fruits Sister Yun Zhi picked. If you're hungry, you can snack on them first," the Little Fairy Doctor said with a smile.

"Okay," Mu Chen nodded.

Next to the barbecue grill, there were indeed many brightly colored fruits.

Yun Zhi, the Little Fairy Doctor, and Mu Chen sat around the fire, falling into a momentary silence. The simplicity of this scene made one feel incredibly content.

Finally, Yun Zhi broke the silence and asked, "Mu Chen, don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?" Mu Chen asked.

"I clearly injured the Purple Winged Lion King, but there's been no movement outside these past few days," Yun Zhi voiced her confusion.

"That's because I've already subdued it," Mu Chen said nonchalantly.

"Do you have to brag all the time?" Yun Zhi shot Mu Chen a glare.

Mu Chen glanced at Yun Zhi, pursed his lips, and flicked something toward her with his finger. It was an irregularly shaped purple stone.

"Purple Spirit Crystal?" Yun Zhi asked.

"Yes," Mu Chen nodded.

"How do you have a Purple Spirit Crystal?" Yun Zhi asked curiously.

"The Purple Winged Lion King gave it to me," Mu Chen replied.

"It actually gave you a Purple Spirit Crystal?" Yun Zhi exclaimed in disbelief.

"Of course," Mu Chen said.

"What did you offer it in return?" Yun Zhi asked again, intrigued.

"I didn't offer anything. I just asked, and it gave it to me," Mu Chen replied.

"Is it really that easy to talk to?" Yun Zhi asked skeptically.

"After I subdued it, it naturally became that easy to talk to," Mu Chen said calmly.

"Pfft," Yun Zhi rolled her eyes, not believing that Mu Chen could defeat the Purple Winged Lion King.

"Is anyone there?"

While Yun Zhi and Mu Chen were talking, a rough voice came from outside.

"The Purple Winged Lion King?"

Yun Zhi frowned, looking like a startled rabbit. Her eyes fell on the Purple Spirit Crystal in her hand, and she said, "You stole its treasure, and now it's come for it. What do we do? My cultivation hasn't fully recovered yet, and I'm no match for it. Maybe you two should leave, and I'll hold it off."

"Stole?"

Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, saying, "Mu Chen doesn't stoop to stealing. I only take things directly, never through deceit."

Yun Zhi furrowed her brows, staring at Mu Chen, and said, "Mu Chen, now's not the time for boasting."

Mu Chen ignored Yun Zhi and asked, "Who's there?"

"Young Master, you're indeed here. May I come in?"

The voice of the Purple Winged Lion King came again from outside the mist.

"Come in," Mu Chen said.

Shortly after, the Purple Winged Lion King strode into the deep ravine's courtyard, followed by a young Purple Winged Lion.

"Young Master?"

Yun Zhi was stunned, noticing how the Purple Winged Lion King addressed Mu Chen.

The Purple Winged Lion King's gaze fell on Yun Zhi, and it awkwardly smiled, "Human woman, you're here too?"

Yun Zhi didn't respond to the Purple Winged Lion King. Out of caution, she still held her strange longsword in her hand.

Mu Chen glanced at the Purple Winged Lion King and asked, "What's the matter? Speak up, I'm about to eat soon!"

"Yes, Young Master."

The Purple Winged Lion King glanced at the young Purple Winged Lion and asked, "Young Master, do you need a mount?"

"A mount?"

"A mount?"

Yun Zhi and the Little Fairy Doctor looked at the Purple Winged Lion King in surprise. The Purple Winged Lion King had come all this way just to ask Mu Chen if he needed a mount and wanted to become his mount.

"I don't need one."

Mu Chen responded indifferently, his gaze shifting to the Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Zhi, and asked, "Do you two need mounts?"

Before Yun Zhi and the Little Fairy Doctor could respond, the Purple Winged Lion King quickly said, "Young Master, you may have misunderstood. I'm only willing to become your mount."

Mu Chen didn't even look at the Purple Winged Lion King and said calmly, "If you think becoming their mounts would be beneath you, you can leave now."

"Huh!"

The Purple Winged Lion King's expression stiffened. Mu Chen was so powerful that its instincts told it that becoming his mount would bring great benefits. However, becoming someone else's mount...

The Purple Winged Lion King looked at the Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Zhi, especially Yun Zhi, with whom it had a bad first impression. Neither the Little Fairy Doctor nor Yun Zhi were to its liking.

The Purple Winged Lion King glanced at Mu Chen, whose cultivation was unfathomable, and didn't leave immediately. After hesitating for a while, it finally compromised. Its eyes first fell on the Little Fairy Doctor.

The Little Fairy Doctor said, "I already have Blue Hawk, I don't need another mount."

Helpless, the Purple Winged Lion King's gaze shifted to Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi was stunned. Was she dreaming? The Purple Winged Lion King, a sixth-tier Magical Beast equivalent to a Battle Emperor, actually wanted to become her mount.

"Human woman, what about you?" the Purple Winged Lion King asked.

If given a choice, the Purple Winged Lion King would naturally choose Mu Chen. But in this case, it had no choice.

"If you're willing to become my mount, I won't mistreat you," Yun Zhi said, her heart racing. The Magical Beast before her was a terrifying existence with combat power on par with hers. If the Yunlan Sect had the Purple Winged Lion King, its strength would surely skyrocket. Not to mention, it came with a young Purple Winged Lion as a bonus.

The Purple Winged Lion King stepped forward, and a purple flame branded a strange rune onto Yun Zhi's hand. This was the Purple Winged Lion clan's ritual of acknowledgment.

"Mu Chen, this is for you. Even if it's not tasty, you have to finish it. This is the first dish we've cooked together."

After the Purple Winged Lion King completed the acknowledgment, the Little Fairy Doctor handed Mu Chen a grilled grass carp.

"Okay," Mu Chen nodded.

"Thank you, Mu Chen," Yun Zhi said, taking a small bite of the fish. She knew that the Purple Winged Lion King acknowledging her as its master was all thanks to Mu Chen.

"Why thank me? I didn't do anything," Mu Chen paused and then asked curiously, "By the way, what do you need the Purple Spirit Crystal for?"

"Pill King Gu He told me there's a way to temporarily boost one's combat power, and the key lies in the Purple Spirit Crystal," Yun Zhi replied, her mind drifting to Nalan Yanran. She had entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal all for Nalan Yanran's sake.

"I see," Mu Chen responded casually, his thoughts also turning to Nalan Yanran. As far as Mu Chen knew, Nalan Yanran indeed possessed a secret technique to temporarily enhance her combat power.

"Mu Chen, what's your true cultivation level?" Yun Zhi asked curiously.

"Third Rank Battle Venerate," Mu Chen replied.

"Third Rank Battle Venerate?" Yun Zhi stared at Mu Chen in shock.

"Yes. My Qi cultivation is at the Third Rank Battle Venerate level, my physical body is at the Eight-Star Indestructible Golden Body level, and as for my soul… it has already surpassed the Dou God Realm," Mu Chen explained.

"…" Yun Zhi was speechless.

Yun Zhi stared at Mu Chen in utter disbelief. Did he just say his soul had surpassed the Dou God Realm?

She felt as if she were about to suffocate. Then, frowning slightly, her cheeks flushed as she asked, "Hey… Little Fairy Doctor, Mu Chen, don't you feel something's a bit off?"
