"How is that possible?"

Chen Yanli found it unbelievable, "There were more than ten of them in Xu Yan's group with about seven or eight who have stepped into the Third Realm. How could they be repelled by a single martial artist? How strong is that martial artist?"

Lan Ying looked grave as she spoke, "Xu Yan said that the person's strength has reached the peak of Qi Refining and Blood Integration."

"The peak? How is that possible?"

Chen Yanli's face registered shock. The thought seemed impossible to her as she glanced at Xiao Mu.

At this stage, apart from Xiao Mu, other people have their powers at the peak of the Third Realm too?

It was not just her who found it hard to believe, even Xiao Mu found it hard to believe.

The fact that his strength was at the peak of the Third Realm was due to him and Zhao Yan recently acquiring an Energy Fruit Tree.

Eating seven Energy Fruits in succession was what brought his strength to the peak of the Third Realm.

Who else could manage to acquire so many resources within this time period like him?

"Are you sure it's the peak of the Third Realm?"

He couldn't help but ask Lan Ying.

"Xu Yan wouldn't lie, and safety in numbers, with their group of ten plus people having seven to eight at the early stage of the Third Realm. Who but a peak Third Realm martial artist could have repelled them?"

Lan Ying replied with a sure voice, although her face bore concerns.

Aside from Xiao Mu, another peak Third Realm Mutated Being appearing made her feel tremendous competition pressure.

Xiao Mu fell silent after hearing her.

Despite not knowing how this so-called peak martial artist of the Third Realm managed to break through, the emergence of this character did bring him immense pressure.

"I need to deal with some matters, I'll leave first."

Leaving behind those words without waiting for Lan Ying and the others to bid him goodbye, he picked up the Black Long Spear and left.

He boarded the train and returned to the downtown area of Nanke City.

After going back, what Xiao Mu thought of was not to return, but to sell this Black Long Spear for more Energy Fruits.

The appearance of the peak Third Realm martial artist made him aware of potential threats, and he urgently wanted to increase his own strength.

As he entered the Mutant Trading Market, it was already late at night. However, this market operates around the clock, 24/7.

He rented a stall and placed his Black Long Spear on display.

On the rolling screen, he entered information about the spear:

"Treasure Spear for martial artist use, can amplify one's martial arts power, swaps for three Energy Fruits."

The information on the rolling screen was continuously being broadcasted across various areas of the trading market. Before long, people starting noticing it.

The Treasure Spear for martial artists is obviously a scarce object, hence it quickly attracted the attention of the martial artists in the market.

Soon, many martial artists gathered around Xiao Mu's stall.

A martial artist wearing a shining silver full-body armor made from special material inspected the spear, his eyes lighting up almost immediately, "My friend, is this the Treasure Spear you were speaking about?"

Having glanced at the other party, Xiao Mu noticed that this martial artist had already reached the late stage of Blood Refinement Realm and was qualified to use this spear. Therefore, he nodded in agreement.

"May I try it?"

The martial artist in full-body armor was very interested in the spear.

"The power of this Treasure Spear is quite strong. It would be best if you didn't try it carelessly."

Xiao Mu gave a kind reminder.

"I'm aware, thanks for the warning."

The fully armored martial artist thanked him before picking up the Black Long Spear.

"So heavy!"

As soon as he had it in his hands, the martial artist realised the weight of the Black Long Spear.

This extremely heavy spear was obviously not something just anybody could wield. Had his power not already reached the late stage of the Blood Refinement Realm, just picking it up would probably have been an embarrassing struggle.

"Great spear!"

Beyond its heaviness, the martial artist quickly sensed the Spiritual Energy emanating from the spear itself and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Immediately following, he tentatively channeled some of his Internal Force into it.

Whirr, whirr, whirr!

The spear seemed to resonate, immediately giving off a hum.

"Haha! Great spear, it matches perfectly with my martial arts technique and Internal Force method. My friend, how do we trade?"

The fully armored martial artist was ecstatic.

"Three Energy Fruits. Nothing else."

Xiao Mu glanced at his electronic screen behind him.

"Only Energy Fruits? Don't you want anything else?"

The fully armored martial artist frowned slightly.

Although acquiring the Energy Fruit wasn't particularly difficult anymore, how many people would deliberately hold on to this type of consumable?

He only had one Energy Fruit at the moment, which had been specifically saved for emergency use. Otherwise, he would have already consumed it.

"No."

Xiao Mu shook his head decidedly.

"Great spear!"

In the crowd, a burly man suddenly stretched out his arms, roughly making way by pushing aside other bystanders, and barged in, exclaiming loudly, "I want it."

His eyes were locked on the Black Long Spear with a faint divine light flickering in them, it was obvious that he was smitten by the Black Long Spear at first sight.

Xiao Mu gave him a brief glance, noting that this man's strength was similar to that of the fully armored martial artist. Both were at the late stage of the Blood Refinement Realm.

"Look who's here, it turns out to be Captain Li. What, does Li Qing want to compete with me for this Treasure Spear?"

Upon seeing the burly man, the fully armored martial artist immediately showed a face of displeasure, even some hint of annoyance.

"Oh it's Captain Zheng."

Li Qing, the burly man reacted as if he had just noticed the fully armored martial artist, his face showing surprise, "What, if you, Captain Zheng can want it, then why can't I?"

"Friend, it's three Energy Fruits, right?"

Having said that, he immediately looked towards Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded, very happy that he was able to exchange it for three Energy Fruits.

Although the Treasure was rare, the restrictions on this Black Long Spear were too great. Weight alone was enough to filter out many martial artists.

"Haha! It just so happens that I have three Energy Fruits."

Li Qing laughed heartily. As he spoke, he took out a glass box and passed it to Xiao Mu, "My friend, please take a look and see if it's real."

Just as Xiao Mu was about to take it, the fully armored martial artist suddenly barged in, blocking the two of them, telling Xiao Mu, "My friend, I have bought this Treasure Spear. The Energy Fruits will be here soon. Please wait a little while."

Having said that, he took out his cellphone and dialed a number. As soon as the call connected, he shouted out loud, "Zhang Fang, find out from the brothers who has some Energy Fruits on hand. Tell them I have an urgent matter and need to borrow some for use. Quickly bring two Energy Fruits to the trading center."

"My friend, the Energy Fruits will be here shortly, just wait a little longer."

Right after he ended his call, he turned to Xiao Mu again. His hand was tightly gripping the Treasure Spear, not letting go no matter what.

His relationship with Li Qing was obviously competitive. He was worried that if the Treasure Spear got into the hands of the other party and his strength improved, he himself would not stand a chance.

"Perhaps Captain Zheng doesn't know the principle of first come, first serve? I was the first to buy this Treasure Spear."

Li Qing had a smile on his face, refusing to back down.
