Chapter 760 (2/2)

Mu Chen’s cultivation had begun.

A month gradually passed while he was cultivating himself.

On the individual stone platforms above the Daluo Blazing pool, a group of figures was sitting quietly with their legs crossed, breathing in the piping hot magma-like spiritual energy of the place to refine their meridians.

Huo Mei’er stood on one of the stone platforms with Bing Qing while the other three commanders gathered behind her.

“That fellow has yet to complete his cultivation?” Huo Mei’er stretched her back, showing off her curvy lines. Her voice was so soft and sweet that it could quickly make hearts throb.

But right behind her, the other three commanders were looking down on the ground. The rest of the soldiers from the Daluo Celestial Army were closing their eyes, and no one dared to look at her. Apparently, this commander held an awe-inspiring position in the army.

Bing Qing nodded coldly as usual. “He should be trying hard to make a breakthrough to Grade Three Sovereign, but I’m not sure if it will work.”

“Maybe he’s too anxious about it.” Another commander, who stood right beside Bing Qing, shook his head. It was unlikely that Mu Chen could make a breakthrough since he had only been training there for a little over two months.

“He has one Spiritual Blazing Marrow from the Blazing Dragon Scorpion. If he can cultivate and absorb it, he will have a chance to succeed.” Huo Mei’er smiled alluringly.

Bing Qing and the other three commanders were visibly moved by her words, as they all knew how daunting the Blazing Dragon Scorpion could be. Moreover, even given their abilities, they might not be able to capture it. So how did Mu Chen do it?

“Sister, previously did you say you got your Three-Headed Spiritual Blazing Serpent because of a Blazing Dragon Scorpion?” Bing Qing flickered her eyes as all of a sudden she recalled the account that Huo Mei’er had told her.

She nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right. The Spiritual Blazing Marrow that Mu Chen owns now belongs to that Blazing Dragon Scorpion.”

“Sister, your assistance did not seem to comply with the rules. The territory lord had said that any cultivation over here must depend on no one but himself.” Bing Qing frowned her willow-leaf shaped eyebrow.

“I did not help him at all,” Huo Mei’er drew her red lips. “He really did it on his own.”

Bing Qing was stunned when she heard this, as she knew that there was no need for Huo Mei’er to lie to her. But Mu Chen only had the strength of a Grade Two Sovereign. Even if the Blazing Dragon Scorpion was severely injured, he was still no match for it.

Huo Mei’er rolled her eyes and asked abruptly, “Did the territory lord ask him to conquer the Nine-Nine Flaming Dragon Array?”

Bing Qing nodded and asked, “Sister, do you think he would have any chance of conquering it?”

“It would be difficult.”

Huo Mei’er paused and shook her head before she continued, “Nine-Nine Flaming Dragon Array is an examination to allow soldiers from Daluo Celestial Army to advance to commander. Even a Grade Four Sovereign who does not know the conquering techniques could not conquer it. On top of that, if he could make a breakthrough to Grade Three Sovereign, given that combat strength, it is still challenging to conquer it.

“But…”

She paused for a while as she thought of the young man who had his ruthless and merciless decisiveness when dealing with the Blazing Dragon Scorpion. She pursed her red lips and said, “We cannot underestimate this fellow. It would depend on his capability if he can conquer the Nine-Nine Flaming Dragon Array.”

Bing Qing and the rest were quite surprised. Almost none of them was optimistic about him. They did not expect Huo Mei’er would actually hold a certain amount of uncertainty.

“Well, let’s just wait and see. It is less than half a month away from the three-month deadline.” Huo Mei’er smiled and gazed at the bottom of the Daluo Flaming Pool. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with the glow from it.

While Huo Mei’er and the rest waited, another ten days passed quietly.

Five days were left before the three-month deadline was up.

All the soldiers from the Daluo Celestial Army opened their eyes as they wanted to witness the outcome of an outsider challenging their Nine-Nine Flaming Dragon Array.

But judging from how the present situation looked, could that fellow Mu Chen be missing in action to avoid the test?

At the thought of this, someone could not help but grin.

Time was moving on day by day. Another three days were gone, too.

Huo Mei’er sat cross-legged at one of the rock boulders with her long red hair gently fluttering in the breeze. Suddenly, her expression changed as she looked up. Light beams flitted in and finally stopped in mid-air.

The one leading had a petite body and at the same time, possessed a dominating presence. The only one within the Daluo Territory who had such a presence was none other than Mandela.

Following behind Mandela was Nine Nether, and even the Third Prince and the other princes showed up. With this lineup, surprise was written all over the faces of the Daluo Celestial Army’s soldiers.

“This lad has a huge group of spectators.” Huo Mei’er looked at the lineup and smiled charmingly. As she lowered her head, a huge vortex was forming on the magma sea below.

Boom!

The magma gushed up into the sky, and as it got higher, a figure stepped on the flowing magma, making his way slowly under the gazes of countless eyes.

The juvenile was slender and handsome, looking calm and relaxed with his pitch-dark eyes. Apparently, Mu Chen had completed his cultivation.
