Mu Chen became deep in thought after Liu Xingchen and Ling Zhanzi left. He knew that a fierce fight would take place between the two, but he did not intend to take advantage of it.

The two of them were extraordinary people, and if he took advantage of their fight, they might turn their anger on him! Thus, Mu Chen turned toward a different direction.

He knew that after the fight, one of them would be kicked out of the battlefield. No matter who won, it would hasten the speed of elimination for the position of the Child of the Continent!

Suddenly, Mu Chen stopped flying. He tilted his head to look behind him. At that moment, a violent spiritual energy fluctuation shot up to the sky from behind him.

Although Mu Chen was far away from it, he could still feel the horrifying spiritual energy fluctuations. He could also see space warps forming in the sky. He knew that everyone in the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns had felt the horrifying fluctuations as well.

Ling Zhanzi and Liu Xingchen are indeed powerful. Mu Chen shook his head and looked grave. From the spiritual energy fluctuations, Mu Chen could tell that they were more powerful than any of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns that he had ever come across.

If he had to fight these two people, he would not have any advantage over them, even if he had the Spirit-slaughtering Troop and the Demon Subduing Troop. Mu Chen stood in the sky and sensed the horrifying spiritual energy fluctuations from afar. He intended to wait there for the outcome, as he wanted to know who was more powerful among the pair.

As the spiritual energy fluctuations became stronger, the sky in the region dimmed, as though it was about to collapse. After about two hours, Mu Chen sensed that the violent spiritual energy fluctuations had started to weaken.

Has the fight ended? Mu Chen was excited. He grabbed his hand and a Battle Seal appeared. The screen with the Battle Seals Rankings appeared before him. Whichever party won, his Battle Seals would increase regardless!

Suddenly, Mu Chen was taken aback. The number of Battle Seals had remained stagnant for both Ling Zhanzi and Liu Xingchen!

“Have they come to a draw?” Mu Chen wondered aloud. Ling Zhanzi and Liu Xingchen must have come to draw, or else they would have taken the other party’s Battle Seals.

“The Western Kingdom Continent is indeed filled with talents.” Mu Chen exclaimed.

He was surprised that Liu Xingchen was able to remain unscathed when dealing with Ling Zhanzi. After all, Ling Zhanzi was the Direct Disciple, who was groomed by the Western Kingdom War Emperor!

With the guidance of a Heavenly Sovereign and the rich resources from the Western Kingdom War Temple, even Mu Chen was envious of Ling Zhanzi. After all, Mu Chen was an amateur, who had only depended on himself all this time.

Mu Chen did not stay on any longer, but darted off. The people in the battlefield had shrunk in numbers, and he had to seek out those who were hiding themselves in order to get their Battle Seals.

However, after going around for quite some time, he still did not have much of a harvest. These people are smart! They left quickly when they saw any opponent who had many Battle Seals in their hands!

Mu Chen noticed that more and more masters had chosen to exchange their Battle Seals for the treasures in the War Emperor’s Treasury, then left the battlefield in a hurry. Apparently, they knew that they did not stand a chance to vie for the one and only position. Thus, they chose to exchange for the treasures and leave.

This made it more difficult for Mu Chen to obtain the Battle Seals. He stopped searching around, as he knew that he had to stop looking for small players. In order for him to emerge as the winner, he had to target those who were ranked above him.

Mu Chen stood in the sky above the mountains and let out a breath. He looked excited, as he had decided to fine-tune himself to his peak. Once he had done this, he would attack those influential people who were ranked at the top.

Let me fine-tune myself first.

Mu Chen went down to a mountain, and just as he was about to enter it, he suddenly froze. He noticed an obscure spiritual energy fluctuation coming out from deep within the mountain.

He found the spiritual energy fluctuation familiar. As light glittered in his eyes, he turned into a streamer, then darted deep into the mountain.

Once there, he saw a figure who was robed in black and sitting cross-legged under a giant tree. The figure had white hair and looked refined. He was Liu Xingchen, the Star Pavilion Master!

Liu Xingchen looked pale, and blood kept bursting out from his body. As he was covered by blood, he no longer had his mild usual look.

Mu Chen was shocked when he saw that he was injured. Liu Xingchen must have been seriously injured by Ling Zhanzi!

When Liu Xingchen noticed Mu Chen, he opened his eyes and smiled wryly. Mu Chen looked at Liu Xingchen and smiled back awkwardly.

He then said, “I am in luck. Heaven has given me an unexpected fortune.”

Liu Xingchen smiled when he heard this. He then sighed and said, “As the Direct Disciple of the West Heaven War Emperor, he is indeed powerful. I thought that I could contend with him, but I overestimated myself and underestimated him.”

“So, you lost earlier, but you managed to escape!” Mu Chen finally realized that it had not been a draw between Liu Xingchen and Ling Zhanzi.

Liu Xingchen had been seriously injured, but he managed to escape. Thus, Ling Zhanzi could not get his hands on the Battle Seals.

Liu Xingchen smiled wryly and nodded. “Ling Zhanzi is ruthless. I will not be able to carry out the treaty that I made with Brother Su and Brother Chu.”

“Treaty?” Mu Chen was shocked. The two people that Liu Xingchen had mentioned must be Su Mu, the Sword Deity Lang Ya, and Ba Dao Chu Men. Have they formed an alliance?

“It is not truly a treaty, but just an agreement. The three of us agreed not to submit to the three Holy Sons of the Western Kingdom War Temple. We also agreed to join forces to contend with them at the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns. But, since I have been seriously injured by Ling Zhanzi, I will have to disappoint them,” Liu Xingchen said.

Mu Chen realized that Liu Xingchen and the other two were wary of the three Holy Sons of the Western Kingdom War Temple. Thus, they decided to join forces to contend with them. However, since Liu Xingchen was seriously injured, the other two would lose the qualification to vie for the Child of the Continent when the three Holy Sons gathered together.

“Why are you telling me these things? Are you thinking of stopping me from taking advantage of you?” Mu Chen looked at Liu Xingchen and forced a smile.

Liu Xingchen was seriously injured and had lost much of his strength. If Mu Chen were to attack him, he would easily get ahold of his Battle Seals.

When Liu Xingchen heard his words, he smiled and said, “On the contrary, I would like to give you my Battle Seals, but I wonder if you dare to accept them.”

“Why?” Mu Chen asked.

Liu Xingchen smiled and said, “Given my condition, I do not have much combat force left. By the time I recover, the battle would have ended. Even if I have the Battle Seals, they are useless to me. I am staying here because I do not want to let Ling Zhanzi have my Battle Seals. If you have the guts to take them, I am happy to give them to you.”

He then added, “However, Ling Zhanzi is a tiger. He has been eyeing my Battle Seals, and anyone who dares to lay his hands on his prey in the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereign will be setting himself against him. Once you have my Battle Seals, you will immediately surpass him and become number one. He will definitely search you out then.”

“Do you still dare to take these Battle Seals, knowing that Ling Zhanzi will look for you?” Liu Xingchen smiled and looked straight into Mu Chen’s eyes. He wanted to see if Mu Chen would show any signs of fear.

However, he was shocked to see that Mu Chen looked calm. After he had finished his statement, Mu Chen smiled and said, “Why not? I have come to the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns because of the one and only position. Even without your Battle Seals, I will look for him to fight him.”

Liu Xingchen was stunned. He looked at Mu Chen and turned grave. He realized that there was not a sign of fear in him and that he spoke with confidence.

Mu Chen already had the intention to fight Ling Zhanzi. Liu Xingchen had heard of Mu Chen, and with his results, he should not be a silly and presumptuous person. In this case, he must have possessed a certain base in order for him to challenge Ling Zhanzi.

“I thought that I was the only one who can stop Ling Zhanzi in this Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns. It seems like I have been too arrogant,” Liu Xingchen said after a long while.

Mu Chen simply smiled and asked, “What is your decision?”

When Liu Xingchen heard this, he laughed and waved his sleeve. As several Battle Seals flew toward Mu Chen, Liu Xingchen said with smile, “Alright. Although I have been defeated by Ling Zhanzi, it is still a good deal if I can create some problems for him.”

He then added, “Mu Chen, keep these Battle Seals. I will wait outside the battlefield for news of your fight with Ling Zhanzi. I hope that you will not disappoint me.”

Mu Chen looked at the Battle Seals and kept them in his sleeve. He then cupped his fist at Liu Xingchen and said with a smile, “Brother Liu, please wait for my good news.”

Liu Xingchen nodded with a smile. His body then turned illusionary and he disappeared.

After Liu Xingchen disappeared, the screen that showed Mu Chen’s Battle Seals reflected that Mu Chen was the number one on the Battle Seals Rankings!

“Number one, Mu Chen, 43 Battle Seals!” At this instant, the entire battlefield went into an uproar.
