Withdrawing Their Gaze

They left in a hurry, while the person who invited them stared at them with a gloomy expression until they were out of sight.

Deep down, they knew that if they hadn't insisted on challenging the Murals together, they wouldn't have lost so quickly. Even if they weren't very skilled, they could have passed the first few levels; otherwise, why would they have hired these people?

But they didn't want to be outdone, so they didn't refuse Su Zhan's suggestion. Now, Su Zhan has lost half of his competitors.

This is different from what they initially thought.

They thought Su Zhan would have a hard time passing the first Murals, but now it seems they were overthinking it.

Su Zhan has already proven himself, and it's no wonder that King of the Underworld sought his help.

Soon, the remaining people also passed the first test one after another, and no one failed again. However, their speed was much slower than expected, and the process was quite difficult. Their eyes were full of regret.

Soon, they were also enveloped in golden light, and then they began to challenge the second Murals. By this time, Su Zhan and Qi Liang had already completed more than half of the challenge.

Qi Liang had already experienced this once, so he was clearly more at ease this time.

This was Su Zhan's first time taking on the challenge, but he was able to keep up with every movement of the Sword Cultivator in the Murals, which truly amazed people with his talent and strength.

At the same time, Su Zhan could vaguely sense the terror of the Spirit Devouring Insect Clan during this process, especially the Spirit Devouring Insect King. Although the creature in the Murals had not yet made a move, the powerful aura of the Spirit Devouring Insect King had already made Su Zhan, the challenger, feel as if he were actually there, as if there were really Spirit Devouring Insect Clan members in front of him.

Su Zhan suddenly admired the Sword Cultivator in the Murals, who dared to challenge the entire Spirit Devouring Insect Clan even when he was all alone.

Moreover, this Sword Cultivator's strength was truly extraordinary. His methods were always refreshing, and his swordsmanship had a sense of returning to simplicity, mixed with an indescribable compassion, giving people a strange feeling, while at the same time inspiring Su Zhan.

Su Zhan felt fortunate that he had made the right decision to help King of the Underworld, otherwise he would never have had the opportunity to improve himself.

This opportunity was even more satisfying to him than the benefits that King of the Underworld had already given him and the results he had achieved. He was even here for this reason alone. Improving his own strength was always the most important thing to Su Zhan. Other external things, while not unimportant, were secondary.

Su Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up with a smile, along with a sense of unbridled confidence, which made those watching him think he was incredibly arrogant.

"Does Su Zhan really think he has victory in his grasp and is certain of winning?"

"He's so unsteady; I don't think he'll pass any tests."

"King of the Underworld, you've really chosen the wrong person."

"If I were you, I'd take him away immediately, otherwise it'll be even more embarrassing."

Everyone spoke up.

King of the Underworld wasn't angry at all; in fact, he smiled.

"Your jealousy is hilarious."

"What he said was like a joke, which made me happy."

"Look at yourselves in the mirror, you might even laugh."

"So that you won't be left laughing when your people fail."

Upon hearing this, everyone from Underworld Mountain burst into laughter.

Even the God of Chaos, hidden in the shadows, laughed.

King of the Underworld is usually not very talkative and rarely jokes.

But now, he's become such a good joker, all thanks to his rivals.
