At the door of the main hall, Nine Nether could hear Mu Chen’s murmurs. A smile appeared on her usually cold countenance. “He’s very noisy. It’s alright if you beat him to death.”

“I’ll try my best.” Mu Chen nodded.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou glanced at each other and smiled helplessly as they stood behind them. They didn’t know where Mu Chen got his confidence from, as Wu Tian was a lot stronger than Zhao Zhong. He was considered one of the top among the Commanders in the Daluo Territory, and if they truly clashed, they couldn’t imagine Mu Chen’s fate.

This fellow was like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Young people were truly fearless indeed.

“Let’s go.”

Nine Nether smiled. The chilly aura in the main hall dissipated with a wave of her hand as she attempted to bring them away.

“Nine Nether!”

There was a sudden sound behind her, and Nine Nether stopped in her tracks. She turned to see Xu Qing, who was dressed in green robes. His eyes were bright and happy as he stared at Nine Nether.

“Oh, it’s Xu Qing. What’s the matter?” Nine Nether looked up and smiled. A cold resistance infused her seemingly gentle tone.

Nine Nether did not have an approachable disposition to begin with, and despite being acquaintances with Xu Qing in the past, they barely knew each other.

Looking at Nine Nether’s eyes, Xu Qing froze. His usual calm demeanor vanished instantly as his heart raced. His eyes lit up brightly with heat and excitement.

“Welcome back,” Xu Qing said softly.

“Thank you.”

Nine Nether was neither cold, nor gentle when she nodded, and she had no intention of carrying on a conversation with Xu Qing as she turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qing, who had gathered up the courage to say something more, became crestfallen as he shrugged his shoulders in self-mockery. However, his look of admiration at the retreating silhouette remained unabated.

“Tsk tsk. Looks like you didn’t end up any better than me.” Behind Xu Qing, there was suddenly a gloating voice. He turned his head and saw Zhou Yue smiling at him.

“At least I wasn’t chased away,” Xu Qing retorted. The fact that Zhou Yue liked Tang Bing was known by many. When he had hidden in Nine Nether Palace, he had been banished by Tang Bing wielding a sword.

“To put it this way, we are in a similar predicament.” Zhou Yue smiled as he narrowed his eyes at the tall silhouette following behind Nine Nether and whispered, “I have heard about it. The man who came back with Nine Nether is called Mu Chen… It seems that this time, Nine Nether is going to let him represent the Nine Nether Palace in the battle at the Daluo Golden Pool. What do you think?”

“Haha, the fight won’t get to us anyway.” Xu Qing smiled and he knew that no matter if Mu Chen was an ordinary figure or not, he would never shake his chance to use the Daluo Golden Pool because he had absolute confidence in his strength. As the leader of the top four Commanders, he had the capability to prove his worth, and not through mere lip service.

“That is true. There will be a good show to see this time, and I would like to see how far this Mu Chen can go,” Zhou Yue said.

Both of them smiled as they turned to leave.

…

Several silhouettes flitted across the sky as Mu Chen approached Nine Nether and stated solemnly on the way back to the Nine Nether Palace, “Xu Qing has intentions towards you.”

“Shut up.” Nine Nether rolled her eyes.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou smiled.

Nine Nether turned to look at Mu Chen as she stated seriously, “You have seen Wu Tian and Cao Feng. How is it? Are you confident? If you want to get a slot at the Daluo Golden Pool, you have to defeat at least one of them.”

“It’s hard to say now.”

The young man pondered. A reassuring smile appeared on his handsome features as he clenched his fist.

“But in two months’ time, I will win.”

In two months, he should be able to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body successfully, and by then, he would also possess the Sovereign Celestial Body, rendering him invincible among opponents of the same rank.

Even if Wu Tian had the capability of a Second Grade Sovereign, he would not have any trace of fear.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou looked at the self-confidence on the young man’s face and were somewhat surprised. They did not know too much about Mu Chen, so they did not understand how he could make great progress within the short period of two months. After all, at his current stage there was still a big gap between him and the likes of Wu Tian and Cao Feng.

Even though they had some doubts in their hearts, they did not speak any more when they saw Nine Nether nod gently. They trusted Nine Nether, and she trusted Mu Chen, so they also believed in Mu Chen.

Perhaps he could really do it.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou both looked at each other and whispered to Mu Chen, “All the best.” Encouragement and anticipation blossomed on their beautiful faces, which were almost identical. This would be the first battle at the Nine Nether Palace after their return, so it was of great importance.

Looking at the encouragement and expectation in the eyes of the two beautiful girls, Mu Chen also raised his head, took a deep breath, and then smiled. It seemed that he must attain the quota at the Daluo Golden Pool.

However, what made him more excited was the fact that he could finally cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body after coveting it for so long…

That would be the starting point of his road to becoming the unparalleled Sovereign Master.
