Chapter 1083 (2/2)
Mandela opened her eyes and looked at Mu Chen. Golden light surged in her eyes and she smiled faintly. Although Mu Chen and Nine Nether had hidden their spiritual energy fluctuations, she knew their actual strengths at a glance.
“Yes, you may,” She said with a nod.
This announcement caused yet another uproar, where even Lord Asura and the rest of the lords frowned. They had not expected that Mu Chen and Nine Nether would vie against Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man for the kingships.
After all, Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man were Grade Nine Sovereigns and very powerful. Even the Condor King and the Spiritual Pupil King were barely on par with them.
They knew that Mu Chen and Nine Nether must have enhanced their strengths this year. When they had left before, Nine Nether had not yet reached Grade Seven Sovereign and Mu Chen was only at Grade Six. At the most, they should have advanced one level up since that time. Yet, even if this was so, they would not be able to defeat Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man.
Light flickered in the eyes of Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man. They did not say a word, but curled up their lips into sneers.
Mu Chen and Nine Nether were well-known in the Daluo Territory. If Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man had used normal means, they would not be able to take back their territories.
However, Mu Chen and Nine Nether had come to them of their own accords. As such, they were eager to find out how these two young people would suffer in their hands. They were fascinated by them, wondering how many times they could afford to bring shame upon themselves!
“Lord Mu, Lord Nine Nether, this is not an easy task. Please consider this carefully,” the Condor King warned them.
“Thank you for your reminder, Condor King,” Mu Chen replied with a smile, yet did not show any intentions of withdrawing.
Condor King was shocked by this. He could hear the confidence in Mu Chen’s voice.
Although this Mu Chen is young, he is prudent. He would not take such a risk, unless he was full of confidence.
Has he acquired some powerful means, which enable him to contend with a Grade Nine top power?
The Condor King became less worried as he thought of the trump cards that Mu Chen had. After all, he was a Spiritual Array Master, a war troop dispatcher, and many other things. Hence, Mu Chen must have a decent chance of winning. Otherwise, he would tarnish the reputation of Nine Netherworld Palace!
“Hohoho, since the two of you insist, I will have to be seen as a bully of the younger generation!” Withered Old Man laughed hoarsely, then immediately appeared on a stone platform in the square.
He then looked mockingly at Mu Chen and Nine Nether, who were in the sky, and asked, “May I know which of you wishes to challenge me? If I lose, I will hand the position of the new kingship over to you.”
The people looked at Mu Chen and Nine Nether. Some of them looked hopeful, some looked doubtful, and some were gloating over the pair’s misfortunes.
“I have long heard of you. Let me take you on.” Nine Nether smiled and appeared before Withered Old Man. Flames seemed to be burning in her eyes. She was burning with fighting spirit.
She had spent two years cultivating in the God Sea. With the help of the Inherited Blood Essence of the Undying Bird and the guidance from the Sovereign Beast, her strength had increased tremendously. As such, she needed an opponent that was on par with her to verify her strength, so Withered Old Man was a good candidate.
Withered Old Man looked carelessly at Nine Nether and then frowned. He had noticed that Nine Nether had kept her spiritual energy within her.
“Have you hidden your spiritual energy?” Withered Old Man asked in shock.
Nine Nether smiled and did not reply. Instead, she stepped out, a horrifying spiritual energy exploding from her body like a volcano.
The heavens and the earth quaked and a majestic spiritual energy swirled out. A horrifying spiritual energy oppression then burst out from Nine Nether’s body.
Many people were shocked as they looked at Nine Nether, especially Lord Asura and the rest of the lords. The Condor King and the Spiritual Pupil King turned pale, looking at Nine Nether in astonishment. The Condor King then took a deep breath and muttered, “She has had a breakthrough… To Grade Nine Sovereign!”
