The Confidence and the Right

They had treated Su Zhan King of the Underworld well before, and although they didn't say it, they were still somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that Su Zhan was too unreliable, greedy, and dared to ask for anything.

He even agreed to King of the Underworld' promise to give him half of the treasures in the Heavenly Painting Hall, so how dare he?

Today, it has been proven that Su Zhan indeed has the confidence and the qualifications to do so.

After all, given Su Zhan's strength, opening the Heavenly Painting Hall is not impossible.

If Su Zhan can do it, then giving him half is indeed a bit much, but still acceptable.

After all, if the Heavenly Painting Hall can't be opened, they won't get even half of it.

If Su Zhan were of poor character, he might have turned against them directly, disregarding the fact that he was invited by the King of the Underworld and claiming the Heavenly Painting Hall as his own as soon as he opened it. In that case, there would be nothing they could do. Su Zhan could even offer terms to cooperate with others, and they would be willing to pay just as much.

After all, everyone knows how enormous the benefits will be after opening the Heavenly Painting Hall. If one originally had no hope, wouldn't cooperating with Su Zhan be like a windfall?

Even if they make concessions to Su Zhan, it will certainly be done willingly.

Su Zhan still represents their Underworld Mountain, which is already something to be content with.

Before long, Su Zhan passed the first test of the Murals under everyone's watchful eyes. Every movement he made made people feel as if the Sword Cultivator in the Murals had come to life.

The moment he succeeded, golden light flashed on the Heavenly Painting Hall, and Twelve Chains appeared on it. At that moment, one of them broke.

Su Zhan realized that this was the result of his passing the first test of the Murals.

I wonder if passing the test and removing a chain from the Heavenly Painting Hall's gate means others can enter the second level or even the Heavenly Painting Hall without having to pass the first test.

Soon, Su Zhan realized he had been overthinking things.

Suddenly, a golden light flew out from the Heavenly Painting Hall and surrounded him. At the same time, the person on his left also passed the test and was surrounded by a golden light.

The man looked at him with a cold and distant gaze, carrying a hint of barely perceptible arrogance, as if to say, even if you are the first to pass the test, you will not make it to the end.

The next second, he walked towards the second Murals and began his challenge.

"Qi Liang is the most composed. Although he wasn't the first to clear the level, he's sure to go further, since he was the only one who reached level ten before."

"That's right. It's not a big deal that Su Zhan passed the first test of the Murals. There are plenty of people who can do it, so it won't make a difference if he does too."

"The first one to do it does have some skill, but, heh, the first one to clear the game hasn't been fixed yet and is still suffering from the backlash."

"I don't think either Su Zhan or Qi Liang have much of a chance of winning. Naturally, only the person I choose will make it to the end."

The crowd spoke up, unwilling to give up.

King of the Underworld chuckled, fully aware of their thoughts, and didn't bother arguing with them.

But this very attitude infuriated everyone, who felt slighted and were even more unwilling to let Su Zhan win.

What they most hoped for was, of course, that their own people could surpass Su Zhan.

But when they shifted their attention from Su Zhan and King of the Underworld to the people they had invited, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Although it's still ongoing, it's noticeably more rushed than before.

Moreover, he would occasionally glance at Su Zhan and Qi Liang.
