Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: A Needle in the Ocean?



Mu Chen's words left everyone puzzled. The pirates approaching him paused momentarily but then continued moving closer.

In contrast, Mu Chen merely smiled, turned his back to them, and bent down slightly.

Boom!

With a sound like a thunderclap, a terrifying gust of wind erupted from Mu Chen's rear. Not only were the pirates attacking him blown away, but even those behind them were sent flying.

At the same time, a foul stench filled the air—a smell reminiscent of feces.

"Ugh!"

Purple Pearl stood dumbfounded. This boy she had underestimated managed to unleash such power with nothing but a fart.

She stared in disbelief at the pirates who had been knocked unconscious by the sheer stench.

"Who exactly are you?" Purple Pearl asked.

"Why should I tell you?" Mu Chen replied mockingly.

"You brat! Don't think that showing off a couple of tricks will allow you to act so arrogantly on my Purple Pearl Island. There are over three thousand pirates here—each one spitting would be enough to drown you!" Purple Pearl said angrily.

"You seem pretty confident," Mu Chen remarked.

"Hmph!" Purple Pearl snorted in affirmation.

"Why don't we make a bet?" Mu Chen proposed.

"A bet? What kind of bet?" Purple Pearl asked, her interest piqued.

"I'll bet I can catch you three times. I'll rely only on myself, while you can call for as much help as you want from your subordinates—no limits. If I succeed in catching you three times within the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, I win. If not, I lose," Mu Chen said.

"Are you sure about this?" Purple Pearl asked, her lips curling into a sly smile.

Mu Chen nodded.

"Fine, I'll agree to your bet. If you lose, I'll make you drink two basins of my foot-washing water to avenge my men!" Purple Pearl accepted without hesitation.

"Hold on. If I win, you must acknowledge me as your master and follow my every command from now on," Mu Chen countered. He couldn't forget the A-Rank hidden quest tied to Purple Pearl.

"Stop wasting time. Let's start! Bring me an incense stick. Catching me three times in the time it takes for one stick to burn? Do you think I'm just a pretty face?" Purple Pearl said smugly, her tone dripping with mockery.

Whoosh!

Before her subordinates could respond, Mu Chen flicked his hand, sending an incense stick flying. It landed upright in a rock on the shore, its base embedded deeply without sustaining any damage.

Purple Pearl noticed this and frowned slightly. Mu Chen's strength was clearly not ordinary.

"Scared?" Mu Chen taunted.

"Scared? Ha! As if! Let's get started," Purple Pearl retorted, darting into the crowd of her subordinates. With each step, soul rings began appearing beneath her feet. By the time she stopped, six soul rings encircled her, and a snake-like phantom shadow loomed behind her.

"Are you ready?" Mu Chen asked.

"Bring it on!" Purple Pearl said confidently.

"You sure?" Mu Chen asked again.

"Stop stalling!" Purple Pearl replied, her confidence unshaken.

"Very well. As you wish." Mu Chen smiled.

Teleportation!

Whoosh!

A flash of light emerged from Mu Chen's right leg bone. The next moment, he appeared directly in front of Purple Pearl, his fingers gripping her throat.

"You've lost," Mu Chen said with a smirk.

"Uh…" Purple Pearl was stunned.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. By the time she realized it, Mu Chen was already standing in front of her.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

The pirates on Purple Pearl Island froze momentarily before lighting their soul rings or drawing their weapons.

"This… This…" Purple Pearl stammered, still in shock and unable to process what had just happened.

"You want to say it doesn't count because you weren't ready, don't you?" Mu Chen teased, his fingers ready to tighten their grip.

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm no sore loser. That was just the first round. You still need to catch me two more times," Purple Pearl said firmly.

"You're right. Two more to go. Be sure to prepare properly next time," Mu Chen said, releasing her.

"One. Two. Three…"

Mu Chen began counting aloud as he watched Purple Pearl.

"Hmph! You won't catch me this time," Purple Pearl said with a sly grin. She leaped into the air, her figure disappearing into the sea.

What the—

The pirates onshore were stunned. Once they processed what had happened, they couldn't help but admire their captain's cunning. Purple Pearl's martial spirit was a sea serpent. If she stayed in the ocean, they couldn't imagine how Mu Chen would find her—a true needle in a haystack.

"Brother!" Xiao Wu called out anxiously.

Hu Liena also looked worriedly at Mu Chen.

If Purple Pearl managed to escape into the ocean, capturing her would indeed be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

"Twenty-eight!"

"Twenty-nine!"

"Thirty!"

"Alright, let's begin round two," Mu Chen said with a smile, standing at the shoreline as if enjoying the sea breeze.

"Why isn't he moving?"

The pirates were puzzled, as were Xiao Wu and Hu Liena.

Boom!

Suddenly, a towering pillar of water shot into the sky. As the water fell, a figure emerged.

It was none other than Purple Pearl!

"Captain?"

Everyone, including the pirates, Xiao Wu, and Hu Liena, was dumbfounded as they watched Purple Pearl frantically running toward the shore as if her life depended on it.

Purple Pearl's panicked sprint resembled someone fleeing a fire.

Mu Chen chuckled as the distance between him and Purple Pearl narrowed to just over ten meters. "That's two. You've lost again."

Purple Pearl froze in shock, unable to refute him. The gap between them was even smaller this time. If Mu Chen used Teleportation, she had no chance of escape.

"Captain, you'd already escaped into the sea. As long as you stayed there for the incense stick's duration, you would've won. Why did you come back?" an older pirate asked in confusion.

"Damn it! There's a dragon in the sea!" Purple Pearl exclaimed, her face pale with fear as she glared at Mu Chen with resentment.

"What? A dragon?"

Hearing this, the pirates turned their gaze to the spot where Purple Pearl had emerged. Sure enough, the massive head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon King, Yu Sinuo, surfaced from the water.
