When Mu Chen's final words resounded on the thundercloud stage, not only was there no one on the stage, even the outside of the Body Refining Pagoda was deathly silent …
Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the screen, staring at the place where Lu Sui had disappeared, as if they still hadn't recovered from the outcome.
Previously, when Lu Sui executed such a terrifying attack, most of the people here had thought that the outcome of the battle had already been determined. But who could have expected that Mu Chen would reverse the situation and kick Lu Sui, who seemed to have victory in his grasp, out of the Body Refining Pagoda with a single kick.
The experts of the various clans were stunned for a brief moment before they recovered from the shock and their gazes turned extremely grave. Mu Chen had not even used any Spiritual Arrays and had defeated Lu Sui, who was a Seventh Grade Sovereign, with his cultivation at Sixth Grade Sovereign. Although it was due to the latter losing the initiative due to his carelessness, it was sufficient to show how terrifying Mu Chen was.
In the direction of the Sky Roc Clan, Liu Qing's face alternated between pale and green as she looked at the slender and youthful silhouette on the screen. She gulped down a mouthful of saliva and fear appeared in her eyes for the first time.
At this point, if she still treated Mu Chen as an ordinary Sixth Grade Sovereign, then she would be foolish.
According to the fighting strength that Mu Chen had displayed, in addition to those powerful Spiritual Arrays, even Zong Teng wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand.
Previously, she had constantly ridiculed and belittled Jiu You. But right now, it looked like she had lost all her face.
This was something that could be seen from the ridiculing gazes in the surroundings.
It could be seen from those ridiculing gazes.
"That Mu Chen.
How can he be so powerful? "
Beside Liu Qing, Zong Yan, who had previously lost to Mu Chen, had a grave expression. Previously, he had also thought that Mu Chen could only rely on Spiritual Arrays to fight against the other experts. But who could have expected that the latter could actually defeat Lu Sui so ferociously without using any Spiritual Arrays?
"Looks like only big brother Zong Teng can deal with this person." Another expert from the Sky Roc clan nodded and said.
Liu Qing nodded. They weren't the only ones who knew about Mu Chen's strength.
Perhaps even Zong Teng had made an error in judgement. That fellow was truly an anomaly.
Xiu!
Just when everyone outside the Body Refining Pagoda was shocked by the outcome brought about by Mu Chen, a light suddenly flickered on the stone platform outside the pagoda and a figure appeared in a sorry state.
When that figure appeared, he had immediately retreated and appeared amongst the experts of the Thunder Crow Clan.
It was Lu Sui, whose face was pale and whose spiritual energy was weak.
The surrounding gazes also shot over with a swish.
Lu Sui's face was livid.
He glared at Mu Chen in the light curtain, then turned around and glared at Jiu You and Mo Ling.
Beside him, the experts of the Thunder Crow Clan also wore unfriendly expressions.
However, in the face of their ferocious gazes.
Jiu You wasn't afraid at all and sneered.
"A stray dog still dares to act ferociously?"
Lu Sui was heavily injured and had lost his fighting strength, so the rest weren't a threat. If they really wanted to charge over, then Jiu You wouldn't mind getting rid of all of them to prevent future troubles.
Lu Sui viciously stared at Jiu You, but in the end, he reluctantly retracted his gaze and swiftly retreated before sitting down on a building in the distance to swiftly recover from his injuries.
The other experts of the Thunder Crow Clan had also appeared around him to protect him.
When Jiu You saw this scene, she couldn't be bothered with him and shifted her gaze back to the light curtain. She looked at the youthful silhouette and her tightly clenched fists finally loosened up.
It had also exceeded her expectations that Mu Chen could win so easily. That's because, according to her previous estimations, even if Mu Chen could stabilise his footing, it wouldn't be easy for him to obtain an irresistible victory with his cultivation at Sixth Grade Sovereign. If this dragged to the end, then there might be some unforeseen changes.
But the outcome had made her feel indescribable joy.
Clearly, Mu Chen had obtained great benefits in the first three levels of the Body Refining Pagoda. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to unleash such shocking power.
"It's said that the fourth level of the Body Refining Pagoda is extremely profound. As long as one can enter, they will definitely obtain benefits that far surpass the third level …"
Jiu You lightly smiled. Judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be any obstructions for Mu Chen to enter the fourth level. As for Mo Feng, his strength was amongst the top in the first level, to begin with, so it shouldn't be hard for him to obtain one of the five quotas.
In this Body Refining Pagoda, it looked like their Jiu You Sparrow Clan might become the greatest winner.
…
On the thundercloud stage
No one responded to Mu Chen's words. At this moment, even someone as powerful as Han Shan and Xu Kun felt a little fearful of Mu Chen. So they naturally wouldn't take the initiative to confront him.
Therefore, the surrounding experts briefly pondered before swiftly retreating from the region where Mu Chen was, showing that they had no intentions of making a move.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, although there wasn't any change in his expression, he felt relieved in his heart. Others could only see how mighty Mu Chen was when he defeated Lu Sui with a single punch, but they didn't know that it was caused by the massive power that Mu Chen's physical body had absorbed in the first three levels.
Previously, Mu Chen's physical body was like a sponge that had absorbed enough water. But that punch had expelled all the water, allowing his body to return to normal.
Therefore, if Mu Chen was allowed to execute that attack again, the power wouldn't be able to reach the same level as before.
The special effect of accumulating power was clearly brought about by cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Physique. If that's the case, it would be able to achieve unexpected results, and it could be considered as a powerful trump card.
"This Dragon-Phoenix Sutra is truly formidable."
Facing this, even Mu Chen couldn't help exclaiming in admiration. The Dragon-Phoenix Sutra was truly worthy of being an Extraordinary Sutra. According to his estimations, this Dragon-Phoenix Sutra would definitely be a Divine Ability. Furthermore, even if it's in the Divine Ability Realm, it would definitely be an extraordinary item.
Mu Chen briefly exclaimed in admiration, before calming his thoughts. Although there wasn't anyone that dared to provoke him, he didn't have the intention to look for trouble with others. He quietly stood on the spot, waiting for the elimination to end.
As for Zong Teng, he knew that the reason why Lu Sui came to look for trouble with him was because of that person. But now wasn't the best time to deal with him, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
But even so, Mu Chen's sharp gaze was locked onto Zong Teng. The surging Spiritual Energy around him made him feel like a cheetah that was about to pounce on its prey, filled with a sense of danger.
Furthermore, Mu Chen's actions made Zong Teng, who was facing Mo Feng, feel a little uncomfortable. He had to split his attention to lock onto Mu Chen, preventing the latter from suddenly making a move and dealing with him together with Mo Feng.
Thus, Zong Teng was in a difficult position. In the end, he could only clench his teeth and retract his Spiritual Energy, then he retreated from Mo Feng's region.
"Brother Mo, it's hard for us to have an outcome if we fight each other. Why don't we find our own opponents and obtain a quota?" Zong Teng retreated and said.
Mo Feng cast a glance at him, before nodding his head. That's because he knew that there wouldn't be an outcome if this confrontation continued. If he really joined hands with Mu Chen, it would inevitably arouse Zong Teng's ferocity. At that time, they would have to pay a considerable price for their counterattack.
Right now, obtaining a quota for the fourth level was the most important.
Seeing this situation, Zong Teng felt inwardly relieved before he swiftly retreated, distancing himself from Mu Chen and Mo Feng's region. After a brief selection, he had made his way towards a slightly weaker genius.
Seeing that Zong Teng had left, Mu Chen no longer pestered him. He cast a glance at Mo Feng, before nodding his head with a smile, thanking the latter for holding Zong Teng back.
Mo Feng's expression had also eased up a lot at this moment. Thinking about how Mu Chen had defeated Lu Sui, he had treated Mu Chen as someone on the same level, so he was no longer as cold as before.
Thus, he had also nodded his head towards Mu Chen, before swiftly turning around and choosing his opponent.
Rumble!
Along with everyone choosing their opponent, Spiritual Energy violently whistled on the thundercloud stage and the shock waves that swept out had caused space to constantly tremble.
On this thundercloud stage that was wreaking havoc with Spiritual Energy, only Mu Chen's region was abnormally calm. There wasn't a single person within a thousand feet of him. At this moment, he had become a spectator, taking the other battles into his eyes. At the same time, he had also memorized the means and abilities of those pinnacle geniuses in his heart.
Although there shouldn't be any more conflicts in this level, there were still two levels in the Body Refining Pagoda. So who could guarantee that there would be fewer people qualified to enter the next level?
Thus, if possible, he had to know his enemy as much as possible.
Under Mu Chen's gaze, the battles on the thundercloud stage lasted for a period of time before they started to come to an end. The outcome wasn't unexpected.
Aside from Mu Chen, Han Shan of the Demonic Rhino Clan had defeated his opponent and obtained a quota.
After him was Mo Feng and Zong Teng, who had swiftly obtained victory.
As for the last spot, it was obtained by Xu Kun, who had lost to Han Shan by a few moves outside the Body Refining Pagoda. That person's strength was similarly shocking, and even Han Shan had to use various means to barely win against him.
Along with Xu Kun obtaining the final quota, the massive thundercloud stage had once again turned quiet. Five silhouettes stood with five boundless auras soaring into the sky, as if they were competing for the championship.
However, the contest of auras only lasted for a brief moment before the five silhouettes retracted them at the same time. They exchanged a glance and no longer hesitated. Their silhouettes had flashed out and appeared on the five mats.
Thereafter, their gazes were filled with greed and fire as they looked at the space behind the thundercloud stage. In that direction, there were streaks of light that whistled out in every direction.
In those streaks of light, drops of Lightning Essences flickered with dazzling lustre.
