701 Passing the Stage (2/2)

The corner of Chu Yuan's mouth twitched. His expression was unnatural. What difference could there be between a Pinnacle Beast King and an ordinary Beast King? He had been chewed up by a Pinnacle Beast King and completely swallowed without any leftovers. Had he not also similarly resurrected?

However, Chu Yuan would not mention such a thing. He could only stand on the altar with a stoic face, not saying a word.

Gao Hanshan and Nangong Mingzhu frowned. They both felt that something was unusual. An hour had passed. Why had Mo Wen still not appeared? Could it be that some accident had happened?

A look of concern flashed in Gao Hanshan's eyes. Could it be that it was as Bu Xingyi had said and something had happened to Mo Wen?

Just as everyone felt that something was truly wrong, a beam of light descended from the sky. Mo Wen's silhouette appeared on the altar.

Dressed in white, looking handsome and with a genial smile, he walked nonchalantly out of the pillar of light.

”Mo Wen, are you alright?”

A look of joy flashed n Gao Hanshan's eyes. Just when he had really started to worry, Mo Wen had appeared.

”What could have happened to me? I am fine,” Mo Wen said with a smile. What could happen to him? Indeed, nothing had happened to him, and he was very well indeed. He had obtained a superb grade Unsealing Light and unsealed a superb grade profound level weapon. His combat power had undoubtedly more than doubled.

Although right now he still did not know the might of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, he was certain that it would absolutely not be rudimentary.

In the double task this time, Mo Wen was clearly the biggest winner. It was impossible for the others to have obtained as many rewards as he had.

”Did you pass the task?” Nangong Mingzhu asked. It was one of the rare times she said anything. For her, the most important thing was whether they passed the task.

”I should have. I survived until the end.” Mo Wen nodded his head. The six people here had all died on the Beast King Island once. Only he had survived from start to finish.

”Really? That's wonderful.” A look of joy flashed in Gao Hanshan's eyes. As expected, Mo Wen did not disappoint, successfully passing the task. For them, as well as all the human ancient martial art practitioners, it was something that was extremely important.

If the seven of them did not complete the task, although other people could not say anything, it would certainly greatly affect their reputations. After all, they were the chosen Seven Great Human Warriors who represented all the humans to take part in this task.

”How did you escape the hunt of the Pinnacle Beast King?” Nangong Mingzhu looked at Mo Wen in astonishment. The gaze she gave him was exceptionally curious. She had died because of a Pinnacle Beast King, so she knew how frightening they were and yet Mo Wen had managed to escape from a Pinnacle Beast King. It was almost unbelievable. Most likely even ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters would not have been able to manage it.

However, the fact that Mo Wen had passed the final task also made her breathe a sigh of relief. At least they had not failed the task and their efforts had not all been in vain.

Mo Wen immediately smiled a radiant smile. Still grinning, he looked at Chu Yuan.

”Why are you looking at me?”

Chu Yuan had a sullen expression. He looked incredulously at Mo Wen. Why was Mo Wen smiling while looking at him? What did he want to do? Was Mo Wen mocking him?

For Chu Yuan, the experience on the Beast King Island was a disgrace that he would not forget. He had never imagined that he would lose to this youth and so pathetically at that. He had even lost his most beloved Blood Ghost.

As expected, after resurrecting, he discovered that his Blood Ghost was lost forever. It was impossible for him to get it back. A treasure that he had cultivated for more than a century was completely lost. One could imagine the gaping feeling in his heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that Chu Yuan knew he was not a match for Mo Wen, he most likely would have pounced forward to fight Mo Wen to the death. But right now, he could only endure the feelings of shame and anger and wait for an opportunity. He would certainly make Mo Wen's life a living hell.

The gaze that Bu Xingyi gave Mo Wen was similarly sullen, but his gaze was also evasive and fearful. Indeed, he still feared Mo Wen. Although he did not want to admit it, it was a reality. At least in this space, Mo Wen had the ability to kill him. Also, the scene where Mo Wen had grabbed him and thrown him into the Beast King's mouth left a permanent shadow over his heart.

”You want to know how I managed to escape the hunt of the Pinnacle Beast King?” Mo Wen said playfully as he looked at Nangong Mingzhu.

”Of course. Don't keep me guessing. I am indeed very curious.” Nangong Mingzhu nodded her head. Under normal circumstances, she would not be interested in Mo Wen's boasting. However, she had died at the hands of a Pinnacle Beast King. No matter how much she tried, she had not been able to escape. In the end, she had been forced to commit suicide to avoid being eaten by a Beast King.

Almost everyone looked over curiously. Gao Hanshan, Tan Qiyue, and the others were similarly very interested in how Mo Wen had escaped from the terrifying Pinnacle Beast King. It seemed almost impossible.

”Regarding this point, I must first thank both Bu Xingyi and Chu Yuan. Without their contributions, I could not possibly have last until the end.”

Mo Wen looked at Bu Xingyi and Chu Yuan, the corners of his mouth rising slightly and curling into an arc.
