Chapter 6: Eight Extremes Fist

"Eight Extremes Fist?"

Mu Chen was astonished. Wasn't this a fighting technique from the Doupo universe? To be in the Douluo universe and actually gain a fighting technique from Doupo was quite surprising.

Knowing the storyline of Doupo well, Mu Chen understood that the Eight Extremes Fist contained eight layers of hidden strength. When all eight layers were unleashed, it could rival low-level earth-ranked fighting techniques.

However, this meant he would have to beat the gatekeeper in front of him, and make sure he was left searching for his teeth!

Mu Chen felt conflicted. In his previous life, he had been a law-abiding citizen. This was truly putting him in a difficult position.

"I said you come from Beggar Village, didn't I? Just look at the smell on you. Go away! If you don't leave, then get lost!" The gatekeeper smirked coldly, pushing the village chief back a couple of meters.

Even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered; how much more so a person!

Bam!

Mu Chen made his move, striking the gatekeeper. Despite his young age, his strength was already remarkable, and with one palm, he knocked the gatekeeper to the ground.

Lying on the ground, the gatekeeper was dumbfounded. He had been knocked down by a child who was over ten years younger than him.

Damn it!

This was intolerable!

With a dark expression, the gatekeeper stood up, slowly approaching Mu Chen with a fierce glare and reprimanding him, "You dare hit me? Do you even know who I am?"

The gatekeeper was furious. He hadn't had a chance to vent his anger before being hit again. Rolling up his sleeves, he shouted, "Damn it, if I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll take your surname!"

Bam!

The gatekeeper swung a punch at Mu Chen's head. Mu Chen raised his hand to block while twisting his leg, transferring the force to his waist. With a swift motion, he gathered all the power into his shoulder and unleashed a punch. This was a unique technique from shadowboxing.

Despite his young age, Mu Chen had been training since childhood and grasped the essence of shadowboxing, maximizing his physical strength. Even though the gatekeeper was over a decade older, he was still knocked back, losing a tooth from Mu Chen's punch.

"Ding dong!"

"Task completion: 2%. Please continue, host!"

Mu Chen stared at the gatekeeper, who was now spitting blood. He was shocked; he had actually hit someone and was now a "bad person." And yet, the task completion was only at 2%!

"My tooth!"

The gatekeeper was utterly astonished. How could this little boy be so strong? As a gatekeeper of the academy, being beaten by a country bumpkin was humiliating. His shock and astonishment were completely drowned out by rage.

The gatekeeper took a few steps back, grabbed an iron pipe, and shouted, "You dare hit me? If I don't cripple you, I'll take your surname!"

"Cripple me?"

Mu Chen was a good person, but that didn't mean he lacked temper. That iron pipe was over a meter long; if it hit him, it would hurt.

With a grim expression, Mu Chen saw the iron pipe swinging toward him.

Bam!

The pipe struck Mu Chen, causing him to nearly burst into tears from the pain.

"You're looking for death!"

Mu Chen reacted quickly, grabbing the iron pipe. He lifted his foot and kicked the gatekeeper in the abdomen, forcing him back and making him release his grip on the pipe.

"How dare you hit me?"

Pain surged through Mu Chen, igniting his fighting spirit. He charged forward, raining down punches and kicks on the gatekeeper. The poor gatekeeper stood no chance against Mu Chen's onslaught. Before long, he was left bruised and battered.

"You… you dare hit me? You'll never get into the academy! We won't let this go so easily! Just wait!" The gatekeeper stammered as he struggled to get up, trying to find help.

Bam!

Just as the gatekeeper stood up, Mu Chen kicked him in the back, sending him tumbling to the ground and knocking out two more teeth.

The gatekeeper flipped over, looking up at Mu Chen in fear. Despite being just a child, his eyes held a chilling intensity that sent shivers down the gatekeeper's spine.

"Ding dong!"

"Task completion: 72%. Please continue, host!"

"What… what do you want?" the gatekeeper asked in terror.

"Do you dare threaten me?" Mu Chen's face darkened as he approached the gatekeeper, recalling the harsh words he had just said, his anger flaring.

Bam!

Mu Chen swung his leg, landing a powerful kick to the gatekeeper's jaw, sending him flying three to four meters away. Teeth splattered from the gatekeeper's mouth.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations! Task completion: 100%. You have completed the hidden task of the first trial of the Nine Trials of Chaos: Defeat the gatekeeper of Notting City's Junior Soul Master Academy and leave him searching for his teeth. Reward: Fighting Technique - Eight Extremes Fist!"

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations! You have completed the hidden task, gaining 2200 points of soul power."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations! Your soul power is now full, and you have leveled up twice. Current soul power level: Level 5."

"Wait… System, aside from gaining the Eight Extremes Fist, I also received 2200 points of soul power?" Mu Chen was thrilled.

"Ding dong!"

"The system confirms, yes. Completing each task grants you soul power rewards needed for leveling up. The system has many functions waiting for you to explore!"

"System, is there a personal attributes interface?"

"There is!"

"System, open the personal attributes interface."

As Mu Chen commanded, a holographic screen appeared before him, visible only to him.

**Name:** Mu Chen 

**Age:** 6 years 

**Level:** Level 5 (5/2010) 

**Martial Soul:** Chaos Sword 

**Soul Ring:** None 

**Soul Skills:** None 

**Divine Powers:** None 

**Self-Created Soul Skill:** Eight Extremes Fist 

**Money:** 30 copper soul coins 

...

"Wow, this is practically a 'three-no' good person!" Mu Chen couldn't help but scoff internally.

Mu Chen understood that these were just temporary. As he obtained soul rings, soul skills would come, and as for divine powers, those would come in due time as well.

From the personal attributes interface, Mu Chen learned that he needed 2005 points of soul power to level up again.

"My tooth, my tooth, my tooth!"

The gatekeeper searched the ground for his teeth, collecting one here and one there. Soon, he had picked up seven or eight teeth. Noticing Mu Chen watching him, he froze in fear, his eyes filled with terror as he stammered, "D-Don't come over! I…I was wrong! I won't dare again!"

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations! You have harvested the gatekeeper's fear emotion points, gaining 2 points of soul power."

Two points! 

Mu Chen recalled that when Xiao Meimei, a great soul master, felt shocked by him, it only netted him 1 point of soul power.

Yet now, due to

the gatekeeper's fear, he had gained 2 points. It was hard to imagine just how profound a shadow Mu Chen had cast in the gatekeeper's heart!
