”One more round,” Mu Chen murmured, his calm and emotionless voice causing countless sovereigns to stare at him strangely. Their gazes were filled with gravity and fear.
After all, Mu Chen's ability to rely on the strength of an initial stage Spiritual Grade and win three consecutive rounds was marvelous. He had even wrecked three stronger Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereigns effortlessly. Such fighting power was enough to cause everyone to shake in awe and reverence.
”This Mu Chen is really a freak! He is only an initial stage Spiritual Grade, but his combat power is so terrifying. This guy may really have the ability to challenge at a higher level.”
”He is formidable indeed! It is no wonder that he is so arrogant, as it turns out that he's prepared to challenge the Xuan lineage with his own power.”
”Heh, all of you overestimate him. After three fierce battles, Mu Chen has revealed all of his trump cards. So, I'm afraid that it won't be easy for him to clash head-on with a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign this time.”
”That's what you said before…”
Amid the countless whispers, the many elders of the Xuan lineage all wore dark expressions. They glared at Mu Chen, as if they wanted to devour him alive. After all, no one had expected to be forced into such a mess by a member of the younger generation!
Xuan Luo and the others were grim, as they had previously vowed that Mu Chen would be defeated. But, in just a few moments, they had been proven wrong.
The Xuan Lineage Head, Xuan Guang, had a look of solemnity on his face, clearly showing his displeasure. But, after all, since he was no ordinary man, he quickly suppressed the wrath in his heart.
Then, while looking indifferently at Mu Chen, he said slowly, ”I did not expect this to happen. Qing Yanjing's son is indeed extraordinary.”
”I'm flattered,” Mu Chen replied nonchalantly.
”The fact that you could get to this point proves your capabilities,” he stated. ”But, this fourth round will not be as easy as you think, so I hope you will be more careful.”
With a smile, Mu Chen replied, ”Thank you, Lineage Head Xuan Guang, for your concern, but I think I can handle it.”
After all, Mu Chen had burned bridges with the Xuan lineage completely, so it was impossible for him to show mercy at this time. Xuan Guang looked meaningfully at Mu Chen, a chilling glint flashing in his gaze.
He then shook his head and said, ”How stubborn! In that case, then my Xuan lineage awaits for you to pick a person to challenge.”
He then added, ”Now, there are four people on the stage for you to choose among, and of course, if you have the courage to pick me, you're welcome to try. After all, your mother has been in prison for many years partly because of me.”
At this point, Xuan Guang smirked coldly, seeming to mock Mu Chen. Hearing this, Mu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, while his gaze became cold. He stared at Xuan Guang, then nodded and said, ”My mother and I will repay you for what you have done. But today, I only want to take a seat from your Xuan lineage,” he said. ”If I have a chance in the future, I will certainly pick you to fight.”
Xuan Guang frowned slightly, as he had said those words in order to incite Mu Chen's rage and to cause him to lose his cool. If Mu Chen had really challenged him directly, then Xuan Guang would have let him know that, no matter what means he had, they would be useless in the face of a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign in his later stage.
But, he had clearly underestimated Mu Chen's nature. Although his words provoked Mu Chen's murderous intent, Mu Chen did not lose his rationality and still chose the safest route to achieve his goal.
”I will see what you are capable of then.” Xuan Guang stared coldly at Mu Chen.
”I won't disappoint you.” With a chuckle, Mu Chen no longer paid attention to Xuan Guang, and when he moved, he appeared on a white stone platform.
He looked forward to see a gaunt old man, who was donned in a grey robe, standing still, his hands hanging beside him loosely. The grey-robed old man stared at Mu Chen, his seemingly murky eyes hiding a sharp hawk-like gaze that inflicted fear in everyone's hearts.
As Mu Chen looked at the gaunt, grey-robed old man, his face became more solemn. At present, the grey-robed old man, who was named Xuan Zun, had a high reputation in the entire Budur Ancient Clan, as he was God Grade Heavenly Sovereign in the initial stage.
Although Xuan Zun was only at the initial stage, Mu Chen was clearly aware that the gap between the Spiritual and God Grade was very significant. Those sovereigns who stepped into the Spiritual Grade had spent many years of accumulation in order to even have a chance to touch the God Grade.
Even though Mu Chen had won the last three rounds effortlessly, he knew that this was the most important battle. Only if he won this battle would he really win the final victory. Otherwise, the previous three victories would have been futile.
