When Mu Chen’s last sentence spread from the Thunder Cloud Tower, no one on the stage responded. In addition, outside of the Body-refining Tower there was also a deadly atmosphere…

Everyone was looking at the light screen with shock. They stared at the place where Lu Sui had disappeared, as if they still had not recovered from the result.

When Lu Sui had cast such a terrifying attack previously, most of the people on the scene thought that the outcome of the confrontation was a foregone conclusion. No one would have expected that Mu Chen would once again reverse the situation and kick out Lu Sui, who had seemingly been winning, from the Body-refining Tower.

The powerful people of numerous races had only recovered from their shock after a period of time, and the expressions in their eyes became extremely dignified. Mu Chen had not even used the spiritual array in the fight. With the strength of a Grade Six Sovereign alone, he had defeated Lu Sui, who was a Grade Seven Sovereign. Although this was because the latter had lost his first opportunity, this outcome still revealed how scary Mu Chen was.

Such strength was enough to compete with the top supreme talents in the Body-refining Tower.

At the place where the Heavenly Roc Clan was gathered, Liu Qing’s pretty face was pale. Looking at the slender, young figure in the light screen, she gulped and seemed to show signs of fear in her eyes for the first time.

At this point, if she still treated Mu Chen as an ordinary Grade Six Sovereign, then it would be her own stupidity.

Judging from Mu Chen’s combat power this time, if he topped up this power with a strong spiritual array, even Zong Teng would have difficulty getting an upper hand against him.

Previously, she kept on sneering and belittling Nine Nether, but at the moment, it was a humiliation. One could tell from all the mocking and satirizing from the surrounding people.

“This guy Mu Chen, how can he be so strong?” Beside Liu Qing, Zong Yan, who had been defeated by Mu Chen before, had a dignified look. He also thought that Mu Chen could only rely on the spiritual array to compete with all the powerful talents, but to everyone’s surprise, Mu Chen had actually defeated Lu Sui so fiercely without using the spiritual array.

Another powerful person of the Heavenly Roc Clan also nodded and said, “It seems that only Big Brother Zong Teng can deal with this guy.”

Liu Qing gently nodded. In regards to Mu Chen’s strength, it was a little of an eye-opener not only for them, but for Zong Teng as well. This guy was really an odd person.

Swoosh!

The outside of the Body-refining Tower was shaking due to Mu Chen’s actions. The stone platform outside of the tower suddenly flashed, and a sorry figure appeared.

The figure immediately retreated as it showed up, and then appeared among the powerful people of the Lightning Crow Clan. Revealing itself, it was Lu Sui, who was pale and drained of spiritual energy.

The surrounding gazes were also turned towards that direction.

Lu Sui looked very angry and unhappy. He glared at Mu Chen, then turned his fierce gaze at Nine Nether and Ink Ring. On his side, the powerful people of the Lightning Crow Clan also had ill facial expressions.

However, facing their fierce gazes, Nine Nether was not afraid. She instead sneered and said, “A dog who lost the family still dares to be fierce?”

Currently, Lu Hao was badly injured and had lost fighting power. The rest of the people were even less of an issue. If they had really wanted to rush forward, then Nine Nether would not mind killing them all to avoid trouble later.

Lu Sui gave Nine Nether a sinister stare, but in the end, he unwillingly retracted it and quickly retreated. Thereafter, he sat down cross-legged on a distant ruined building, ready to quickly heal his internal injuries.

The other people of the Lightning Crow Clan appeared around him to provide protection.

Seeing this situation, Nine Nether was not bothered to do anything. Turning her eyes back to the light scene, she stared at the young figure and was finally able to loosen her clenched fists.

The fact that Mu Chen was able to win in such a neat manner was also beyond her expectations. According to her previous estimation, even if Mu Chen was able to hold his ground, it would have been difficult to win with the strength of a Grade Six Sovereign alone. Therefore if the fight dragged on, there might have been some unexpected occurrence.

However, this final result had totally surprised her.

Obviously, Mu Chen had gained considerable benefits in the first three levels of the Body-refining Tower. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to exert such amazing power.

“It is said that the fourth level of the Body-refining Tower is quite wonderful. As long as you can enter, it will certainly provide far more benefits than the first three levels…”

Nine Nether smiled slightly. Looking at the current situation, Mu Chen had entered into the fourth level, so there should be no more obstructions. As for Ink Blade, his strength was at the top level in the battlefield, so it should not be difficult for him to obtain one of the entries.

In the Body-refining Tower, it seemed that the Nine Netherbird Clan could be the biggest winners.

On the Thunder Cloud Tower.

In Mu Chen’s case, no one should be aiming at him. Now, even if it was someone as strong as Han Shan, Xu Kun, and others, they all had some fear of Mu Chen. Naturally, they would not be confronting him at this time.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, the nearby powerful people quickly retreated from the area where Mu Chen was located, indicating that they had no intention of attacking him.

When Mu Chen saw this, his face did not change, but his heart was quietly relieved. Ordinary people only saw that he had beaten Lu Sui with a single punch. However, little did they know that the previous punch was powered by the huge force his body had absorbed in the first three levels.

Before this, Mu Chen’s body was like a sponge that was full of water. That punch was like wringing all the water out, and afterwards, his body returned to normal.

Therefore, if Mu Chen were to cast a similar attack now, its power would never reach the same level as before.

This special effect of the body’s accumulation of strength was obviously a technique acquired from cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix body. In this case, it could achieve unexpected results most of the time, which could be regarded as a powerful killing technique.

This Dragon-Phoenix Scripture really is amazing. Even Mu Chen was amazed by it. The Dragon-Phoenix Scripture was ​​really a wonderful scripture. According to his estimation, the Dragon-Phoenix Scripture must be at a super power level, and even among the super power level, it was absolutely extraordinary.

Mu Chen was slightly amazed and converged his thoughts. Although now no one was here to provoke him, he did not intend to find trouble with other people. Hence, he just stood still while waiting for the end of the elimination.

As for Zong Teng, Mu Chen knew that the reason Lu Sui gave him trouble must have had something to do with him. However, now was not the best time to deal with Zong Teng, so he could postpone that temporarily.

Despite this, Mu Chen’s slightly sharp vision was directly locked onto Zong Teng. The surging spiritual energy around his body made him like a cheetah that was about hunt, full of a sense of urgency.

Mu Chen’s actions were also a little uncomfortable for Zong Teng, who was confronted by Ink Blade. He always had to spare some of his mind to lock onto Mu Chen, preventing him from suddenly bursting out his hands and pairing up with Ink Blade to fight him at the same time.

Zong Teng was not able to deal with both of them at once. In the end, he could only grit his teeth before converging his spirit and exiting the area where Ink Blade was.

Zong Teng retreated while saying, “Brother Ink, it’s difficult to have results if we fight with each other. How about we find our own opponents and obtain one of the entries?”

Ink Blade glanced at him dully, then nodded. This was because he also knew that it would be difficult to achieve any results if they were to continue. If he joined hands with Mu Chen, it would inevitably arouse Zong Teng’s fierceness. They might need to pay a high price for his counterattack.

At the moment, getting an entry to the fourth level was the most important thing.

When Zong Teng saw this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief before he quickly retreated from the area where Mu Chen and Ink Blade were located. After making a little selection, he went straight for another supreme talent with slightly less strength.

When Mu Chen saw Zong Teng get away, he did not intend to bug him anymore. He glanced at Ink Blade and then smiled at him, as a sign to thank him for helping him to keep Zong Teng busy.

Ink Blade relaxed quite a bit. It seemed that after Lu Sui had been defeated by Mu Chen, he regarded Mu Chen as a figure on the same level with him, so he no longer treated him as coldly as in the past.

Ink Blade also nodded to Mu Chen before he quickly turned around and began to choose his opponent.

Rumble!

As the rest of the people had selected their opponents, the spiritual energy in the Thunder Cloud Tower suddenly whistled violently. The propagating shockwaves made the space continuously tremble.

On the platform where spiritual energy was raging, only Mu Chen’s place was unusually peaceful. There was no one in it within 1,000 feet, so he became a spectator at this time, observing the battlefield at the other end. In the meantime, he secretly recorded some of the top people’s abilities in his mind.

Although there should be no more conflicts on this level, there were still two more levels in the Body-refining Tower. Who could know how many people would be eligible to enter the next levels?

So, Mu Chen tried to understand the situation as much as possible.

Under Mu Chen’s observation, after a period of time, the battle on the Thunder Cloud Tower finally began to end. The final result was not unexpected.

Besides Mu Chen, Han Shan from the Demonic Rhino Clan took the lead in defeating his opponent and taking an entry.

After him, Ink Blade and Zong Teng won soon after.

As for the last entry, it was obtained by Xu Kun, who had lost to Han Shan by a narrow margin outside of the Body-refining Tower. The strength of this person was equally astonishing, as it took a lot of effort even for Han Shan to win.

With Xu Kun’s getting the last entry, silence fell upon the huge platform once again. There were five figures standing, rising to the sky with majestic momentum, as if they were fighting for first place.

However, this kind of momentum only lasted for a while, and the five people converged at the same time. Looking at each other, they hesitated no more and flashed out before appearing directly on the five lighting cushions.

Then, their eyes filled with greed and fierceness as they looked at the space behind the platform. A meteor-like ray that covered the sky and earth whistled by.

In that ray, drops of thunder marrow were shining with dazzling luster.
