11.54, Strongest, Void Dao
When Lin Mu emerged from the Linglong Pagoda, he was met with intense, eager stares.
Many disciples looked at Lin Mu with astonishment.
It was rare for a newcomer to enter the Linglong Pagoda for the first time and be the first to clear it.
First, newcomers lacked experience and were unfamiliar with the Linglong Pagoda on their first attempt.
Second, newcomers were generally weaker than the veterans.
Not to mention those at the top of the rankings—every one of them was monstrously powerful.
For Lin Mu to be the first to clear the tower was already enough to make these disciples view him in a new light.
Soon after Lin Mu, someone else emerged from the Linglong Pagoda.
He was a red-haired man with a golden horn on his forehead, golden scales on his face, and a fierce glint in his eyes.
The moment he came out, he looked toward Lin Mu, his gaze filled with curiosity and surprise.
He was Gongyu Yuan, the disciple who had reached the ninth level even faster than Lin Mu. He had ranked seventh in the previous disciples' grand competition and was immensely powerful, firmly holding a place among the top ten purple-robed disciples.
However, this was not his first time entering the Unbounded Universe. He had gained entry through his teacher's connections.
Within the Unbounded Universe, he could remain for only three Samsara eras.
Many of the highly ranked purple-robed disciples were like Gongyu Yuan.
This Samsara era was the last one he could remain for, so Gongyu Yuan took it very seriously. He had studied his other opponents, because one careless mistake could push him out of the top ten.
Yet Gongyu Yuan had never expected such a monstrous newcomer disciple to suddenly appear.
