"In my opinion, you're the burden."
Jiang Li didn't get angry at Mo Chen's provocation. His tone was still calm. "We've been in the limelight ever since we left the train station. Now that our actions have fallen into the eyes of some people, it'll be difficult for us to do anything in the future. Don't you know that? If we were in the era of cold weapons, you wouldn't be afraid of arrows in the dark. But now that we're in the era of high-technology firearms, a random bullet can kill you. "
"Bullets?"
Mo Chen laughed loudly. He was very disdainful. "You're really a coward. You're actually afraid of bullets. We've already done thousands of experiments to avoid bullets. Bullets can't hit us at all. When people aim at us, we'll be able to sense them. One second before the bullet leaves the chamber, we'll already be dozens of meters away. Even if it's an explosive bullet, the explosion won't affect such a large area. You're saying that you're a piece of trash. "
Jiang Li rubbed his temples. He was speechless at Mo Chen and didn't want to say anything else.
"Alright, stop arguing." Daphne looked at the optical computer on her wrist. "Let's go to the headquarters of the Sun Moon Corporation. The auction is about to start. I heard that there will be spirit stones in the auction this time. If we can get them, our vitality will increase a lot."
"Spirit stones?" Jiang Xuan touched the small pouch in her pocket. "One gram of this thing costs tens of millions of star dollars. Where can we get so much money to auction it?"
"We're not here to auction things. We're not going to pay for it ourselves." Mo Chen smiled. "We're here to cheat others and train our mental fortitude. I hope that someone won't be a burden to us. Hehe. "
"Chatter on and on." Jiang Li's brows finally furrowed.
"Who are you talking about?" Mo Chen finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He suddenly made a move. His five fingers clawed out, and he used the Dragon Claw Capture again. His claw was like iron, and could even dig a hole in a reinforced concrete wall.
Jiang Li shook his head and pressed his hand lightly.
A wall of energy appeared in the air. It was like crystal steel as it slowly pushed out, rumbling as it pressed towards Mo Chen.
The moment Mo Chen's dragon claw came into contact with the Qi wall, cracking sounds rang out from the bones in his hand. His entire body was pushed back by the Qi wall. His face was deathly pale, and he only stopped when he was stuck to the wall. He could only watch as the Qi wall pressed down on him, trying to squeeze him into a flat pancake.
He felt the air in his lungs being squeezed out bit by bit. His entire body was suffocating, and his eyes were bloodshot. His spirit felt incomparably terrified. He couldn't understand why the air had actually condensed into a crystal-like wall. He was completely controlled by the airflow, and the vast general situation was all on his opponent's side.
"Innate Supreme Qi!"
Dai Er was shocked. She looked at Jiang Li in astonishment and said, "This is the Innate Earth Qi, it can control air currents. Only a peerless expert can create a wall of Qi. You are definitely not a simple university student. Who are you?"
Rumble!
Jiang Li waved his hand, and the crystal Qi wall dispersed. Mo Chen slid down against the wall, paralyzed on the ground. His eyes were filled with fear, and he was so scared that he couldn't speak.
"He's my brother, Jiang Li." Jiang Xuan raised her eyebrows and lowered her head. "Mo Chen, don't bother me anymore, or my brother will really beat you to death."
"You're Jiang Li, the one who got into the Cosmic Sky University last year?" Daphne and Han Yun's eyes lit up. "So it's Senior Jiang Li, the legendary person. I should've thought of it."
"Get up. I didn't do anything to you. I just wanted to vent my anger. You've never been on the losing end, and you're too arrogant." Jiang Li waved his hand again, and a gust of air appeared out of nowhere and lifted Mo Chen up. "One more thing, and I'll only say it once. Don't bother Jiang Xuan anymore. Do you hear me?"
Mo Chen gritted his teeth, and a trace of blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. He knew that the gap between his strength and Jiang Li's was too big. One was like the sky, and the other was like the ground.
"Jiang Li, you're Jiang Li!" At first, there was a fierce look on his face, but it soon softened as if he remembered something. "So it's Jiang Xuan's brother. I'm sorry for offending you. I sincerely apologize to you."
His attitude suddenly became very humble and servile. It was as if he had changed into a different person.
It turned out that when he found out that Jiang Li and Jiang Xuan were siblings, his jealousy made him look stupid, and he immediately humbled himself.
Because Jiang Xuan was not his rival in love, but his brother-in-law. Naturally, he couldn't offend him.
"This kid sure knows how to sail with the wind. But if you keep bothering Jiang Xuan, I don't mind making you lose your ability forever." Jiang Li wasn't moved by Mo Chen's humility at all. He thought for a moment and said, "There's no need for an apology. I hope you remember what I said."
"Yes, yes, yes …" Mo Chen quickly nodded. He was completely submissive and didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
"Hmph!" Jiang Xuan snorted coldly. "The person who dares to fight my brother hasn't appeared yet."
"Senior Jiang Li, please give me your autograph." Daphne also became enthusiastic. She magically took out a pen from her pocket and said, "Sign it on my shirt."
"Well, I'm not a big deal. I can't afford it." Jiang Li quickly declined. He had never thought of himself as a celebrity or a big shot.
"You're not a big deal?" Daphne was very surprised. "You're a freshman who almost made it to the top 10. You ranked 11th in the ranking competition. We've all watched your battle videos. They're classic. Although you lost to Meng Xingyun in the last battle, Meng Xingyun is still the world's top freshman. He's obviously stronger than everyone else. According to your strength, you should be in the top 10."
"Oh? You can get your hands on my videos? " Jiang Li was a little surprised. According to the rules, Star University's battle videos were top secret and couldn't be leaked.
"We're the top Chinese school on Earth. Of course we can get our hands on some small things." Daphne waved her hand. "Come, sign."
Jiang Li had no choice but to sign his name on Daphne's shirt.
"Sister Daphne, my brother doesn't have a girlfriend. Do you want me to introduce you to him?" Jiang Xuan teased. She wanted to see her brother's embarrassed look.
"Your brother must have a girlfriend. I remember there were two other girls who got into Star University with your brother. One of them is named Luohan and the other is Shirin. Their grades were just so-so. It was all thanks to your brother's help that they were able to get into Star University. Now that they've invested in the Crimson Emperor Group, it's obvious that they're investing in your brother. Your brother's name is Jiang Li. Li means fire, and so does Crimson Emperor. They must be your brother's girlfriends." Daphne smiled. She seemed to be used to this kind of situation.
"This girl has a lot of information. She's not a simple student. She's like a successful businesswoman. But it's not that surprising. With her vitality, even though she's just a high school student, she's still a dragon. She should have no problem getting into Star University." Jiang Li couldn't help but look at Daphne in a new light.
The establishment of the Crimson Emperor Group was a big move. Daphne must have been born into a powerful family. She knew every move of the company like the back of her hand. Her intelligence analysis was very accurate.
"We're just friends. We're not girlfriends. Besides, how can you have two girlfriends? That's ridiculous." Jiang Li waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this. Now that my identity has been exposed, I need to be more careful. If you're afraid of danger, leave me for now and go to the Sun and Moon Group's auction."
"We're afraid of danger?" Han Yun smiled. "Do you think we'll run into more danger if we follow you?"
"Lower your voice." Daphne's expression turned serious. "Senior Jiang Li, I know you have an irreconcilable conflict with the Sun and Moon Group. I even know some inside information. Your father's research on the essence of the Sun and Moon Group has made some progress in the Crimson Emperor Group. My family is interested in working with you, so the Sun and Moon Group will do everything they can to get rid of you. I'm afraid you're not here to visit your family, are you? Are you here to destroy the Sun and Moon Group's roots in the black market? And let the Crimson Emperor Group take over the black market? "
"You sure know a lot. Which family are you from?"
Jiang Li stopped in his tracks. He was a little interested in this Daphne.
"My surname is Chen." Daphne smiled. "My father is the highest councilor of the 36 Hua Cities."
"Oh, you're from the Chen family." Jiang Li was a little surprised. The 36 Hua Cities were equivalent to China 200 years ago, and they were even larger than China at that time. This was because there were a few cities, such as Ice Flower City, which used to be part of Russia's territory. There was also Nanhua City, which used to be a small country in South Asia. Now that they had been transformed by the continent, the 36 Hua Cities were 1.5 times the size of China.
The highest councilors of the 36 Hua Cities were the decision-makers. They weren't appointed by the human government, but elected by the people. They had a lot of power and could make decisions on politics, economy, and even military.
As long as it didn't involve the changes on Earth, these councilors could make decisions after voting. The human government wouldn't interfere.
It seemed like Daphne's status was much higher than Yu Muhua's.
Yu Muhua's father was just a government official in Beijing. He was worlds apart from the highest councilor.
"The Sun and Moon Group's true power is terrifying. I'm here to kick them out of the black market. Don't get involved." Jiang Li stood with his hands behind his back. He was as proud as a dragon. No one could imagine that he could wipe out an entire group by himself.
"I know some information about the Sun and Moon Group. They have 20 sonic mechas in the black market," Daphne said. "You need to have a vitality of 7 to fight against a sonic mecha. No matter what, your vitality isn't 7 yet. You can't destroy them, right?"
"Would I come here if I didn't have the confidence?" Jiang Li smiled. The five flying swords in his body had merged with his flesh and turned into sword orbs in his dantian. If they burst out suddenly, he could really tear the 20 sonic mechas apart.
That was why he wasn't afraid.
"I can work with you and wipe out the Sun and Moon Group's position in the black market. I'll also do my best to protect your Red Emperor Group." Daphne threw out a condition. "In the future, when the Red Emperor Group takes over the black market, I can guarantee that the Sun and Moon Group won't be able to send mechas or even enter Earth! We can make the Red Emperor Group the most powerful group on Earth. "
"Oh?" Jiang Li was shocked. "You're talking big. Even the first councilor of Beijing, Zhu Yuanshang, wouldn't dare to say something like that."
