The big man was secretly pleased with himself.
When the other Star Lords of Xingxiu came to their senses, they too secretly blamed themselves. Why hadn't they thought of it?
Then, they looked at the big man with eyes full of jealousy and silently prayed in their hearts, hoping that Mu Jinyu still had some strength to defeat this guy.
So they would have a chance to challenge and seize the position of Tiance True Dragon.
Liu Mei and Gao Yu, watching the various expressions of their teammates, scoffed in disdain.
This group really lost their minds to the point of losing all sense of reason.
Did they not see that none of the Seven Great Hall Masters behind the New Dragon King showed any reaction after the Dragon King spoke?
Really think they didn't react?
They knew they were no match for the Dragon King, so they remained indifferent, letting you all go to your deaths!
However, Liu Mei and Gao Yu wouldn't remind them.
Even if they did, those people would probably think they were being deceived so that they could challenge Mu Jinyu themselves later.
So, they were happy to just watch the drama unfold.
Over here.
Upon seeing the big man step forward, Mu Jinyu nodded slightly at him, then extended his hand and said, "Make your move!"
He didn't bother to ask the big man's name or title.
After all, he was just cannon fodder.
But the big man really wanted to make an impression and get Mu Jinyu, the New Dragon King who might be deposed on his first day, to remember the person who defeated him.
So, he spoke up, "I am Star General Niu Jin, Chen Sheng. Dragon King, forgive my offense!"
As he finished speaking.
Chen Sheng shifted his footing, his muscular body instantly erupting with terrifying strength. A shadow was cast from his quick movement as he charged toward Mu Jinyu.
"Ha!"
Chen Sheng shouted as he threw a punch towards Mu Jinyu's chest!
Of course, not knowing how strong Mu Jinyu was, his punch was just a probing attack, lest he seriously injure the Old Dragon King's grandson, which would be problematic.
So, he decided if this punch didn't take Mu Jinyu down, it meant Mu Jinyu had some skills, so he would gradually increase his power.
However, what Chen Sheng didn't expect was that as he threw his probing punch, Mu Jinyu seemed to freeze in fear, standing still.
Seeing this, he looked down upon Mu Jinyu, and his punch inevitably slowed down, fearing that even his lightest punch might cripple Mu Jinyu!
"Thud!"
Just as Chen Sheng was about to weaken his punch, Mu Jinyu made his move.
Mu Jinyu raised his hand, appearing to move slowly, but the speed was inconceivably fast. Just as Chen Sheng's punch was about to land, Mu Jinyu suddenly grasped Chen Sheng's fist.
Then, he squeezed hard!
"Crack!"
A crisp sound of bones cracking was heard from Chen Sheng's iron fist.
"Aow!!"
In unbearable pain, Chen Sheng let out a pathetic howl.
He couldn't stand it any longer and extended his other hand, clenching it into a fist, gathering all his strength, and aimed for Mu Jinyu's chest.
By then, he had realized that although Mu Jinyu seemed frail, his strength was not much less than his own.
If he held back any longer, he would likely be taken down by the New Dragon King in a few moves.
However, the punch he imagined himself firing off like a cannonball was, in Mu Jinyu's eyes, simply too slow.
Mu Jinyu slowly extended his other hand, which had been behind his back, and with a grasp, he once again caught it in his palm and then exerted force once more.
"Crack crack..."
"Hiss... Ah!!"
Chen Sheng's face turned deathly pale, cold sweat beaded on his forehead and then more and more gathered until his entire body was drenched in a moment!
Finding it boring, Mu Jinyu lifted his foot and kicked Chen Sheng in the stomach!
At the same time, he released both hands.
"Bang!"
Chen Sheng's whole body was suddenly thrown backward, flying straight for four or five meters before he heavily crashed to the ground.
"Hiss hiss..."
Chen Sheng lay on the ground, his body sore and in pain, feeling as if his bones were about to fall apart.
The bystander Twenty-Eight Constellation Lords also couldn't help but click their tongues in secret at this scene.
It turned out that this new Dragon King, the grandchild of the Old Dragon King who had been wandering outside, was not really an ordinary person after all. The Old Dragon King didn't take pity on him and wanted to compensate him by letting him take up the position of Tiance True Dragon!
Among the Twenty-Eight Constellation Lords, Chen Sheng really wasn't the top-tier, but neither was he the worst—he ranked in the top ten. Even the Dragon King Hall's Sub-hall Master, Beidou Tian Quan Shen Cangsheng, would need at least five moves to take down Chen Sheng.
Yet, Mu Jinyu only needed three moves to finish off Chen Sheng, which suggests that his strength was likely above that of Shen Cangsheng.
Given this, it's no wonder that Sub-hall Master Shen Cangsheng, who reportedly had some grievances with Mu Jinyu's mother, would bow his head in servitude to her.
"Does anyone else want to try?"
Mu Jinyu kicked Chen Sheng away, patted his hands, then once again placed them slowly behind his back, raised his eyes to sweep over the crowd, and calmly spoke.
Upon hearing his words, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Among them, a few of the Twenty-Eight Constellation Lords who could rank in the top five showed fluctuating gazes, as if they were tempted to act.
These Star Lords, although part of the Twenty-Eight Constellations and not in the Big Dipper Seven Stars, it did not mean that their strength was definitely inferior to the Seven Great Star Generals.
If it were the top-tier powers among the Seven Great Star Generals like Xiang Mantang, Wu Shisan, and Jian Ruyan, they definitely wouldn't be able to contend with them. However, with the likes of Shen Cangsheng, Qin Qiaochu, it would be hard to tell the winner if they were to make a move.
In fact, these Star Lords were potential candidates for the Seven Dragon Generals of the Big Dipper. Should anything untoward happen to Shen Cangsheng and the others, they could replace them at any moment.
To become the new Big Dipper Seven Stars!
So, seeing that Mu Jinyu's strength was only a bit stronger than Shen Cangsheng's, they had not extinguished the flames of battle; instead, the flames of war grew even more intense.
One reason was that it was hard to find an opponent of the same level, and the other was that if they could defeat Mu Jinyu, they could become the new Tiance True Dragon—who wouldn't be tempted?
Mu Jinyu, seeing the eager and ready expressions of these few, smiled blandly and said, "It seems you haven't been scared off, well then, who will come first?"
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, paused, and with a haughty look at the crowd, arrogantly said, "Or maybe, come at me all at once!"
"Hm?!"
The remaining Star Lords of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, had their expressions of apprehension, excitement, or enthusiasm all freeze over, and then turned into fierce anger burning on their faces.
The new Dragon King's words were too arrogant, actually suggesting they all come at him at once, to take advantage of numbers to bully the few?
Even Xiang Mantang, the strongest among the Seven Great Star Generals, wouldn't dare say such words to them!
Xiang Mantang alone against ten of them could easily defeat them; against fifteen, it would be a bit difficult; against twenty, he could possibly do it only by going all out, and usually, he would be sure to lose.
And if all twenty-eight were to gang up on Xiang Mantang, even he, the invincible Xiang Mantang, would have to retreat in a miserable state!
Yet Mu Jinyu, a young man of seventeen or eighteen, actually had the audacity to ask them all to come at him?! Did he really think he had the peak strength of the Old Dragon King?!
