Chapter 822

"Have these mutant beasts advanced?"

The mutant lizards on the ground had raised bumps on their skin, and sticky liquid spread over them.

Su Chen retreated carefully; he was the only one in the Secret Realm.

There was not a single sound.

He looked ahead, vigilant behind.

Suddenly, a five-meter-long lizard drilled out of the sand, its speed fast, its force great.

Baring its fangs, it pounced toward Su Chen with a bang.

Su Chen moved his feet, his figure flashed, and in an instant, he dodged the lizard's attack.

The lizard landed on the ground with a bang, dragging its long tail, baring its fangs.

A pair of emotionless beast eyes stared at Su Chen.

This mutant beast had intelligence.

It stayed in place, pondering the best way to attack Su Chen.

Su Chen took a step back, unhurried, and raised his hand.

Dense power of the Dao gathered in his palm, a strong wind blew, and yellow sand filled the air.

Su Chen's hair was blown, his eyes cold, and suddenly his figure flashed.

The attack landed on the lizard like a ghost; the lizard didn't have time to react.

With a crack, it fell to the ground, closed its eyes, and died.

Su Chen walked in the Secret Realm for a while longer and found that it was just as he had thought.

The mutant beasts in the Secret Realm were evolving.

Some had increased strength, others had increased intelligence.

This change was visible to the naked eye.

Su Chen cultivated in the Secret Realm for two months, his strength increasing rapidly.

By the time he came out, he was already at the peak of the Ninth Tier.

At this moment, he no longer feared the old Jingshan Sect Master.

Even if he saw him, he could humbly say it would be at least a draw.

As expected, Su Chen would definitely win.

Not long ago, Su Chen was just an ordinary Eighth Tier King-Sealing expert, hiding to avoid enemies.

Living a life of survival in a friend's home, but in no time, his strength could already contend with his enemies.

Suddenly, the door was knocked, and Su Chen opened it to see Yuan Tong.

Yuan Tong was wearing brocade clothes, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and asked foolishly, "My family is holding a martial arts competition. You are so powerful, you must go and join in the fun."

He was talking about the Yuan family's annual martial arts competition.

The Yuan family was one of the wealthiest in the Central Continent, employing many experts.

The rewards for the martial arts competition were generous, although the Yuan family's strength was not strong.

But because of the rewards, many experts were willing to come and compete.

Su Chen came to the backyard and found that the competition had already begun.

On the high platform, two King-Sealing experts were battling.

The power of the divine soul was displayed magnificently, and the sounds of fighting followed one after another.

The surroundings were filled with people cheering loudly.

Not long after, one person fell down in a disheveled state, spitting blood.

The Yuan family's steward carried the injured person away and announced the winner.

"The winner will receive one Divine Soul Stone."

The key words caused a stir at the scene, and the atmosphere became lively with a bang.

It was just a simple competition, yet the reward was a Divine Soul Stone.

One must know that Divine Soul Stones are rare even in large sects.

The Yuan family was indeed wealthy, easily bringing out a pile of Divine Soul Stones.

"This time I must win. Even if I don't sell the Divine Soul Stone, it's worth a thousand gold."

"I'm about to advance; if I can get the Divine Soul Stone, I'll definitely be stable."

Su Chen was pushed forward by Yuan Tong.

Su Chen turned back helplessly, "Actually, I don't want to participate."

He had countless Divine Soul Stones like the competition reward.

An existence everyone wanted to obtain, he possessed easily.

"How can that be? Don't be polite, don't be shy. Win my family's things; with your level, you can definitely win!"

He had been very enthusiastic since meeting Yuan Tong.

He never thought that others might have ulterior motives.

Su Chen wanted to refuse, but suddenly Yuan Tong's father, who had been watching from the side, looked over.

He had clearly heard everything just now, his cold face showing no expression.

He only looked at the man with disdain in his eyes.

"Yuan Tong, you've been raised too naively by your mother; you think everyone is good and powerful just because you meet a friend."
