Chapter 987: Train Up the Body with the Red Light

Crackle!

After the spiritual energy around Mu Chen was gone, the red light shone on him and a wave of heat attacked him from all directions. Mu Chen’s skin was burnt immediately, when the red light shone on him. He took a deep breath, as his whole body was in excruciating pain.

“Crap…”

Mu Chen vented. He activated his thoughts and golden light surfaced on his skin. The real dragon symbol on his chest seemed to have come to life and started to squirm about. As it squirmed around, the burns on Mu Chen’s body started to heal. Cool air exuded from them and his pain was reduced.

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, when he noticed that the pain had been alleviated. If he did not have such a strong body, he would not have been able to withstand the glare from the strong red light.

I shall see how frightening the first level of the Bod-refining Tower is.

Mu Chen lifted up his head and looked far across the desert with determination. Without a second thought, he stepped off of the stone platform and headed for the desert.

After he had made up his mind, he did not fly through the desert, but chose to walk slowly. He had chosen the toughest path in order to train his body, with the help of the red light.

Swish!

Smoke rose from under his feet, as Mu Chen stepped onto the desert. Every step he took was as though he had stepped on hot molten magma. However, Mu Chen was not bothered by it. He walked deep into the desert under the red light.

Outside the Body-refining Tower.

All of the top powers fixed their gazes on the mottled stone tower. Light gathered on the first level outside the tower, forming a screen. They could not see any human figures, only 10 light spots.

These light spots represented the 10 people who had entered the stone tower. By using these spots, those who were outside the tower could know exactly what was happening in the tower, based on the spiritual energy fluctuation of the individual, as shown on the screen. As such, nine lights spots were currently moving at an astounding speed.

“Zong Teng from the Heavenly Roc Clan is taking the lead…” The people looked at the first light spot and knew that it was Zong Teng from the Heavenly Roc Clan, based on his spiritual energy fluctuation.

“Zong Teng has awakened the Surmount Mortality, which is the bloodline of the Golden-winged Roc. No wonder he is taking the lead…”

“Han Shan, Xu Kun, and the rest are catching up with him…”

“The rest of the geniuses are not weaklings. They may still have the chance to overtake him and get to the second level…”

The top powers were watching the situation in the Body-refining Tower from the outside, as they whispered among themselves.

“Ha, someone is not moving.”

Suddenly, a girl laughed and said mockingly, “Judging from the spiritual energy fluctuation, it seems to be the human being that the Nine Netherbird Clan brought in…His spiritual array seems useless in the Body-refining Tower.”

The top powers were shocked, then they realized that, as the nine light spots moved toward the second level, far behind them was a light spot that was not moving at all! Some of the top powers looked at one another, then glanced at Nine Nether and Mo Ling, who were behind them.

The human being had an outstanding performance out there, but once he had entered the Body-refining Tower, he had become so useless. He had wasted the chance!

Nine Nether looked coldly at the girl who had sneered at Mu Chen. She was Liu Qing from the Heavenly Roc Clan. She had stopped talking after Zong Huo had been defeated by Mu Chen, but now she had started chattering all over again. She was so detestable.

“Hahaha, Nine Nether, why are you looking at me? This guy has wasted the quota that you have painstakingly won. What a pity!” Liu Qing looked at Nine Nether’s face and laughed. She looked pleased, as though she had taken her revenge.

“You don’t have to be so cocky. Be careful, or you will be ashamed of yourself later.” Nine Nether looked at her and sneered.

Liu Qing said mockingly, “Oh? I am looking forward to it.”

Nine Nether glared at her, then looked away. She fixed her gaze on the light spot on the first level and raised her brows.

“Sister Nine Nether, what is Brother Mu Chen doing?” Mo Ling, who was standing beside her, asked softly.

Nine Nether shook her head and smiled wryly. She was puzzled as well. Although the ancient Body-refining Tower was difficult to break into, Mu Chen should not be stuck at the first level, given his current strength. There must be other reasons for it.
