Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

The Great Sorcerer raised an eyebrow, Mu Tian's demeanor puzzled him a bit. Wasn't it said that this guy was at the Half-Step Golden Core just a month ago? And now, only a month had passed; could it be that he had already advanced to a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm and stabilized his realm?

Otherwise, how could he remain so calm?

The Great Sorcerer was very cautious. After mobilizing his energy bit by bit, his aura had reached the standard of a mid-level expert in the Golden Core Realm.

"Mu Tian, don't think you can treat me like the pushovers you've dealt with before; you are no match for me!"

The Great Sorcerer snorted coldly—he couldn't believe that Mu Tian, who had been at the Half-Step Golden Core just a month earlier, could do anything to him now. At best, Mu Tian could only be at the realm of a newly advanced Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm.

"Whether I'm a pushover or not, won't we find out once you try?"

Mu Tian grinned, showing no sign of panic even as he saw the Great Sorcerer mobilizing his energy.

The crowd on the surrounding platforms was somewhat surprised.

"Mu Tian actually went for Luo Lin, and Luo Lin seems to have reached the realm of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm last year, right?"

"Exactly, I heard that not long ago Luo Lin alone killed an Eight Wilderness Lizard in the Death Desert, and just that single Eight Wilderness Lizard fetched a high price of several hundred Spirit Stones!"

"The Desert Killer, Eight Wilderness Lizard?"

"That's an existence even newly advanced Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm would flee from. The Eight Wilderness Lizard has an incredibly tough Qilin Armor, and without the strength of a mid-level Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm or above, I'm afraid no one would dare confront it directly in battle, right?"

"If Luo Lin can kill an Eight Wilderness Lizard, he must have already stabilized his realm in the Golden Core Realm. How could Mu Tian possibly defeat Luo Lin?"

"Exactly, this guy was still at the Half-Step Golden Core a few days ago, even if he has improved since then, at most, he's just a newly advanced Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm!"

"That's just perfect, let Luo Lin deal with this guy first, the best outcome would be if he cripples him."

Many of those eyeing Mu Tian's side were powerhouses who had been plundered by him before, all of them keenly awaiting a thrashing of Mu Tian.

No one was optimistic about Mu Tian, but at this moment, Luo Lin, the Great Sorcerer on stage, started to sweat as he sensed Mu Tian's aura.

At this moment, Mu Tian on the number five platform had already released his aura, the aura of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm!

Luo Lin's complexion changed; Mu Tian truly possessed the strength of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, and he could feel that Mu Tian's realm was indeed that of a stabilized Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm.

"Impossible, weren't you at the Half-Step Golden Core a month ago!?"

Luo Lin asked through gritted teeth, unable to believe that Mu Tian had already reached and stabilized the realm of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm.

He could understand Mu Tian advancing to a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, but he couldn't comprehend how Mu Tian could advance and stabilize his realm in such a short span of a month.

"That's right, but does that affect my advancement to the Golden Core Realm?"

Mu Tian's expression was playful.

Luo Lin was taken aback by those words, and then he said, "But how could your realm stabilize so quickly? I haven't heard about you entering the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm..."

Luo Lin's face darkened. He had paid attention to the list of those entering the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, and according to his information, Mu Tian was nowhere near the quota for entry. How could Mu Tian possibly stabilize his realm so quickly?

As Luo Lin was asking, Mu Tian gave him a look that was like staring at an idiot. "Are you all stupid? I borrowed so many things from you and got my hands on so many Spiritual Medicines. Isn't it a matter of course to stabilize the realm in a month?"

Mu Tian's voice was loud and clear, and even the people in the stands were stunned at this moment. Those who had been plundered immediately changed their expressions, their faces burning with fury as they stared hatefully at Mu Tian, wishing they could tear him limb from limb.

Seeing Mu Tian's response, Luo Lin was again somewhat dumbfounded. It seemed to make sense; if one were to stabilize the realm using various spiritual medicines meant for that purpose, it was possible, albeit those medicines were rare and required a significant amount of Spirit Stones. On top of that, they were just for expedited assistance. But to actually use spiritual medicines to stabilize the realm in such a short period, the quantity required would be enormous and the cost in Spirit Stones frighteningly high!

Ordinarily, no one would choose to do so because of the high cost. Just stabilizing on one's own would take at most half a year, which was enough to stabilize the realm. Even taking a year was sufficient for some, and half a year or a year truly didn't mean much to a cultivator; it could simply be the duration of seclusion cultivation. With eyes closed for seclusion, and then opened again, half a year might have passed just like that. Once at the Golden Core Realm, one could completely practice fasting and would no longer need to eat.

However, these costs did not seem to be an issue for Mu Tian, a Half-Step Golden Core expert who had robbed nearly half of the Outer Battlefield. Many experts at the Half-Step Golden Core level would prepare some spiritual medicine to help stabilize their realm. The quantity wouldn't be much, but they would have some in reserve. Nevertheless, Mu Tian had taken all of it for himself.

On the high platform at Xuanyuan Hall, Ye Feng and the others were rendered somewhat speechless. It appeared that Mu Tian's realm was indeed bolstered by spiritual medicine.

"If he really did enhance his realm with spiritual medicine, his strength might be somewhat inflated. It's difficult to fully digest an excessive amount of spiritual medicine. A lot of the medicine's power would remain inside the body," one of them said.

Ye Feng, eyeing Mu Tian, was not spouting nonsense. The effects were equivalent to those of the Void Spirit Fruit. Consuming the first one would significantly increase spiritual power, but the effectiveness would decrease with subsequent use. The same went for the spiritual medicine used to stabilize the realm. As their effectiveness decreased, the vast amount of undigested spiritual medicine would remain hidden inside the body, being detrimental rather than beneficial to a cultivator's practice.

"So, is this guy even a match for the Wizard of the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country?"

Chi Jark was also keeping an eye on Mu Tian. He could sense that Mu Tian's aura had reached the intermediate standard of the Golden Core Realm, but that was just the realm. Actual strength would only be revealed during combat.

"This wizard shouldn't be a match for Mu Tian. It's unlikely that this guy's stable realm comes from piling up spiritual medicine. His body's realm is very stable and shows no signs of being inflated; moreover, no medicinal power can be detected at all."

"To say that it was built up by spiritual medicine is probably just a ruse to mislead others."

Ye Feng smiled faintly. With his current strength, he could easily discern Mu Tian's true condition. Earlier outside the city, he had only noticed Mu Tian's basic realm, but now that Mu Tian had fully released his aura, Ye Feng was able to see the real situation inside Mu Tian's body.

Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong exchanged knowing looks after hearing Ye Feng's words, realizing something.

"This guy indeed has some secrets he's not disclosing. What exactly is his identity?"

Xiao Rulong said in a grave tone, feeling that Mu Tian was no simple character. Someone who could rise to prominence in the Outer Battlefield, always concealing his true background and claiming to be a Loose Cultivator—although nobody believed it, they also failed to ascertain where Mu Tian's teachings came from or what forces lay behind him.

Ye Feng didn't reveal Mu Tian's true identity. After all, if ordinary people tried to investigate, they wouldn't uncover much since a lot of information had already been sealed after Mu Tian left.

"Alright, there isn't much time left. Worrying about others is less important than worrying about yourselves. If you don't seize the opportunity to fight now, the battles will be over soon," Ye Feng said with a smile. Time was passing by, and they really would run out of it if they did not start fighting soon.

"However, when you enter the fray later, don't reveal too much of your strength to avoid drawing unwanted attention. It's not yet time to expose all your capabilities."

Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong nodded, understanding the caution. Without giving Mu Tian another glance, they flew towards the ninth and tenth stages where combatants from the Western Vampire Divine Court and one of the wizards from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country were fighting. They had chosen these two platforms and lunged straight into the fray.

As soon as they stepped onto the platforms, both unleashed their auras without hesitation and began battling their respective opponents. However, they did not display their full power, using only about sixty percent of their abilities to fight opponents who were also at the intermediate level of the Golden Core Realm, which was totally sufficient for them to handle.

Ye Feng watched the two combatants with a slight smile and then dashed down towards the arena.

"Northern Border King Ye Feng takes the stage!"

Some sharp-eyed individuals noticed Ye Feng, a Half-Step Golden Core powerhouse who had recently entered the Outer Battlefield and was well-informed about Earth. Ye Feng had previously been in the crowd at Xuanyuan Hall and went unnoticed for a moment, but now that he was fighting, people recognized him.

The moment this was announced, it immediately attracted numerous gazes. Ye Feng had just been involved in Long Nannan's situation, and right after, everyone had heard about Ye Feng's deeds on Earth—how, with the realm of a Peak Martial King, he could fight Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm, which left everyone in shock.

Now that someone had spotted Ye Feng entering the fray, naturally, it drew a lot of attention.

"Is that Ye Feng, the new Northern Border King of Xuanyuan Nation!?"

"Wasn't he said to be at the Peak Martial King Realm? But looking at his realm now, isn't that the Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm!?"

Some Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm sensed Ye Feng's current realm, which was indeed that of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm!

The crowd was momentarily stunned, and all the Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm looked over, eyebrows raised.

"This Northern Border King Ye Feng is indeed at the realm of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm. Who said he was stuck at the Peak Martial King level?"

Many had already confirmed the realm aura from Ye Feng's body, which was truly that of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm. The Western Vampire Divine Court expert who had introduced Ye Feng earlier was immediately struck with stiffened features, his eyes wide with surprise.
