Outside the Body-refining Tower.

The earlier uproar suddenly quietened down. Everyone looked shocked, as they watched the scene at the Body-refining Tower. To be precise, they were staring at the light spot on the screen. The light spot was lagging behind earlier, but within a short period of time, it had caught up with the other nine light spots and surpassed them.

“How can this be? Does the barrier have no effect on Mu Chen?” someone said in shock. They saw with their own eyes how Mu Chen had surpassed everyone within a few minutes and had now moved at a great speed toward the second level of the Body-refining Tower.

The top powers’ expressions changed. They were speechless, when they saw this amazing scene. It caused them to look at one another in awe.

Nine Nether stood behind them, her eyes brightening up. She released her grasp and heaved a sigh of relief.

If Mu Chen had performed badly in the Body-refining Tower, the elders in her clan who opposed Mu Chen would use this against her and accuse her of wasting the quota. Although she could ignore them, it was still frustrating to listen to their complaints.

“Brother Mu Chen is amazing!” Mo Ling, who was standing beside Nine Nether, complimented. Mu Chen’s strength was only at Grade Six Sovereign, and he was considered to be the weakest among the geniuses. However, his performance had amazed everyone.

Nine Nether smiled and looked in the other direction. The few top powers of the Heavenly Roc Clan had turned pale, especially Liu Qing. Her expression kept changing, and her face seemed to be twitching. It was apparent that she was dumbfounded by this change of events at the Body-refining Tower.

When she noticed that Nine Nether was looking at her, she grew even paler. She grit her teeth and said, “What is there to be cocky about? This is just the first level. I don’t believe that he can remain so lucky!”

She did not believe that Mu Chen possessed the strength to overtake the other nine geniuses. He must have used some devious means to get through.

When Nine Nether heard this, she ignored her. She was not in the mood to argue with Liu Qing. Instead, she turned her attention back to the screen and smiled. Her nonchalant attitude enraged Liu Qing, as it had made her look like a shrew.

“I shall see how long you can remain so cocky!”

Liu Qing grit her teeth and looked away from Nine Nether. She turned her gaze toward the screen and looked at the light spot on the forefront. From the resentful look in her eyes, she must be cursing Mu Chen.

However, it was pointless for her to curse him, as the light spot seemed fine! It now moved steadily forward at a speed that had surpassed the others. Mu Chen was about to break through the first level of the barrier and enter the second level of the Body-refining Tower!

Everyone outside of the Body-refining Tower widened their eyes. They held their breaths and stared at the screen. In the next instant, the glittering light spot disappeared into thin air.

There was a commotion when the light spot disappeared. However, some of them came back to themselves quickly and shifted their gazes upward. Many of the top powers gasped, as a light spot had appeared on the second level of the Body-refining Tower!

That light spot’s spiritual energy fluctuation belonged to Mu Chen! He had overcome the trials on the first level and had entered the second level!

His performance shocked the top powers, especially since he had lagged behind earlier But, he had obviously turned the tables around. This was the first time that they had ever encountered such a situation. Liu Qing turned ghastly pale and grit her teeth, as the people were in an uproar.

“Is this the second level of the Body-refining Tower?”

As the people outside the Body-refining Tower were in an uproar, Mu Chen, who had passed through the barrier, looked around curiously at the scene before him. He was on a stone platform, with light surrounding it. It was similar to the first level, but outside the stone platform was a deserted frozen land. Blue light filled the piece of land, and it was extremely cold. The space froze as the blue light shone on it.

A strong, bone-chilling wind blew in the area. It was overbearing. Even the stones smashed into powder in an instant.

Mu Chen gazed at the deserted frozen land and did not enter immediately. He sensed that the blue cold air and the strong chilling wind in the area was too overbearing.With the two combined together, it was more powerful than the melting red light at the first level. However, it was due to such harsh conditions that one could train up a powerful body that was invincible!
