Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

"Ya Fei, have you ever thought about leaving the Mittel Clan?" Mu Chen asked as they walked.

"Leaving the Mittel Clan?" Ya Fei froze for a moment, her steps faltering before continuing forward.

"Yes. Have you ever considered leaving the Mittel Clan to establish your own commercial empire?" Mu Chen asked again.

"Master, I am grateful to be able to cultivate now, but I have no intention of leaving my family to start a business. Auctioning items at high prices is just a personal hobby of mine—to maximize the value of things," Ya Fei replied.

"Alright, everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force you," Mu Chen said, stopping to look at her.

Mu Chen had initially planned to build a business empire here, but since Ya Fei had no such intention, he decided not to push her. He had no interest in undertaking such a labor-intensive venture himself.

With a flick of his finger, Mu Chen retrieved a storage ring from his spatial soul guide and tossed it to Ya Fei.

"Master, why are you giving me another storage ring?" Ya Fei asked curiously.

"Open it," Mu Chen instructed. 

"Medicinal pills?" Ya Fei stared in disbelief at the contents, her eyes widening.

"Medicinal pills?" Gu Xun'er, watching from the side, raised an eyebrow. For someone working at the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei's reaction seemed oddly over-the-top.

What Gu Xun'er didn't know was that the sheer volume of pills inside the ring was enough to fill five entire rooms, leaving Ya Fei utterly astonished.

"Inside are *Three-Line Clear Spirit Pills*. Use them when you reach the Dou Grandmaster level. Each one will boost your cultivation by three stars. Ideally, take them when you're at 6-Star Dou Grandmaster, so you can jump to 9-Star Dou Grandmaster," Mu Chen explained.

Ya Fei remained silent, still reeling from the shock.

"*Dou Spirit Pills* will help you gain one star at the Dou King level. *Imperial Extreme Pills* will boost your cultivation by two stars at the Dou Emperor level. Take these when you reach 8-Star Dou King and 7-Star Dou Emperor, respectively, to leap to the pinnacle of those realms," Mu Chen added.

"Yes, Master," Ya Fei replied, her tone filled with respect.

"As for the *Rejuvenation Powder*, *Blood Coagulation Powder*, *Restoration Pills*, and *Qi Gathering Powder*, those are less valuable. You can sell them. With these, it won't take long for you to return to the Mittel Clan's main family," Mu Chen said.

"Understood, Master," Ya Fei said, bowing slightly.

Gu Xun'er, standing nearby, was dumbfounded by the sheer number of high-grade pills Mu Chen had handed to Ya Fei. She couldn't imagine how he had accumulated such an abundance of medicinal treasures.

Over the past month, aside from accompanying Gu Xun'er on strolls, Mu Chen had spent most of his time refining these pills.

"Remember, Ya Fei, scarcity drives value. Flood the market with these pills, and their worth will plummet. I'll assign tasks to you as needed, so stay ready," Mu Chen said. His primary goal remained helping Gu Xun'er retrieve the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Xiao Clan.

"Yes, Master," Ya Fei replied.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave," Mu Chen said.

"Yes, Master. Ya Fei takes her leave," she said, smiling sweetly as she clutched the storage ring, then walked away.

"Brother Mu Chen, are you an alchemist?" Gu Xun'er asked, her voice filled with surprise.

"Yes," Mu Chen nodded.

As they approached a three-way junction, a shadow darted out from an alley. A silver light streaked toward Mu Chen's chest.

"An assassin!" Gu Xun'er exclaimed, her pupils turning golden as her expression hardened.

**Boom!**

Mu Chen sidestepped the attack, frowning as he identified the assailant. "Xiao Yu!"

The wielder of the silver sword was none other than Xiao Yu.

"Scoundrel!" Xiao Yu shouted, lunging at Mu Chen again with her sword.

"Still at it?" Mu Chen growled. His palm shot out, generating a burst of wind from his hand.

**Low-Level Profound Rank Dou Technique: Flame Palm**

**Boom!** 

The powerful force knocked Xiao Yu back. Before she could recover, the wind transformed into a suction force, pulling her toward Mu Chen.

**Low-Level Profound Rank Dou Technique: Suction Palm**

In an instant, Xiao Yu was drawn directly to Mu Chen. He grabbed her wrists to prevent further attacks.

"Scoundrel, let me go!" Xiao Yu shouted angrily.

"Are you done yet?" Mu Chen snapped.

"I won't rest until you're dead!" Xiao Yu yelled.

"You're absolutely insufferable. Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson in place of your late parents!" Mu Chen's patience finally snapped.

With a light kick to her leg, Mu Chen sent Xiao Yu sprawling to the ground. 

Before she could react, he sat on her back, pinning her face to the ground. Struggling was futile; she was completely immobilized.

"Scoundrel! What are you doing?" Xiao Yu asked, panic creeping into her voice.

"I told you, I'm teaching you a lesson on behalf of your parents," Mu Chen said.

**Slap!**

Mu Chen's palm struck her rear with a crisp sound.

Xiao Yu froze, her mind blank. Had she just been spanked?

**Slap!**

The sound rang out again as another strike landed. Xiao Yu's shock gave way to anger, shame, and disbelief. She couldn't comprehend the humiliation she was enduring.

"Is he really spanking her in public?"

"Wait, isn't that Xiao Yu from the Xiao Clan? I heard she's a real firecracker. Who dares to spank her?"

The commotion drew the attention of passersby, who began murmuring and pointing at the spectacle. Gu Xun'er stood silently nearby, watching without interfering.

**Slap! Slap! Slap!** 

The slaps continued, the crisp sounds echoing in the air.

Xiao Yu, unable to suppress her emotions, burst into tears. "Scoundrel! I swear, I'll kill you for this humiliation!" 

"Let me go, you coward!" 

"Y-you… Waaaah! Let me go!" 

Her cries of frustration, anger, and helplessness only added to the spectacle.

**Ding-dong!**

"Congratulations! You have earned 5,000 Dou Qi points due to the strong emotional reactions caused by your actions."

**Slap!**

As Mu Chen delivered another strike, the system chimed again.

"Congratulations! Your Dou Qi has reached the threshold for advancement. Current Level: 4-Star Dou Practitioner (Level 14, 0/11,620)."
