Watching the five teams surround him, Xia Mo looked at the five seeded contestants and said with a smile, "How about you five fight among yourselves first and eliminate one person? Leave four behind—so long as I make it into the top five."
Hearing Xia Mo's words, Sun Hao, who knew him fairly well, smiled and said, "Xia Mo, there's no need for more talk. Let us see just how strong you really are."
The others nodded in agreement as well. They all looked curiously at Xia Mo, who was far younger than them. They had heard Sun Hao say that Xia Mo had been able to kill a five-star Da Dou Shi months ago, and they all wanted to know just how far this monster had progressed.
"Fine, then. Since you want to know, come and see for yourselves."
His calm voice slowly rang out beside everyone's ears. When the final word fell, Xia Mo's aura erupted from his body like a volcano breaking free from the earth's restraints, flooding out in every direction!
"A Dou Ling?" Their gazes locked tightly onto Xia Mo. Even Sun Hao's expression changed slightly, while Luo Yan, Wang Bo, Mu Yun, and Li Er Niu beside him all wore grave expressions.
"No. His true strength is only that of a nine-star Da Dou Shi, but his aura has already far surpassed the Da Dou Shi level. I'm afraid his actual combat strength is already comparable to that of a Dou Ling." Wang Bo, the strongest among the five, stared at Xia Mo and spoke solemnly.
"Have the others stand back. This isn't something they can take part in anymore," Luo Yan said softly.
The others nodded and waved for the people behind them to disperse, leaving only the five of them.
