Seeing Liu Shuangyan being teleported out, many in the arena burst into hearty laughter, quite a few taking delight in her misfortune.
Liu Shuangyan, who had suffered a miserable elimination, wore an expression on her gaudily made-up face that shifted between pale and livid, looking utterly wretched. She hadn't expected to be eliminated as early as the fourth layer. Finding everyone in the arena laughing at her, she brazenly shouted, "What's wrong with being eliminated on the fourth layer?
Flower Butterfly was eliminated on the third layer last time! This young lady is a whole layer higher than her!"
Mu Lingyao, who had successfully broken into the fifth layer, stood with her hands on her slender waist, looking down at the teleported-out Liu Shuangyan and laughed uproariously, "Hey, Liu Shuangyan, you little bitch! Weren't you so capable?
Didn't you love to show off?
Why aren't you showing off anymore?"
Seeing Mu Lingyao standing on the fifth layer mocking her, Liu Shuangyan's face flushed with rage as she angrily retorted, "Don't get cocky! If this young lady can't break the record, none of you will either!"
"Whether Sister Flower Butterfly and I can break the record, no one knows yet. But at least we still have a chance. You, on the other hand, definitely won't break any record today! Hahahaha! Get ready to kneel and kowtow to your grandma! Wahahahaha!"
Mu Lingyao's laughter was downright maniacal.
"Hmph!
Laugh all you want! Just wait until you get eliminated later, and see how this young lady makes you lose face!"
Those who suffered elimination were teleported to an open area. Most, once teleported out, would silently leave, not wanting to lose face here. However, Liu Shuangyan did not leave. She planned to wait here for Flower Butterfly Immortal and Mu Lingyao to be eliminated so she could mock them mercilessly.
The Tower of Stolen Gold continued.
Everyone craned their necks, looking up at Flower Butterfly Immortal, Mu Lingyao, Lord Qianxing, Bai Yufei, Liu Feng, Xuan Yun, and Qiānlíng standing on the fifth layer. These seven were all quite famous in the Dual-Pole Celestial Domain, with Qiānlíng being the only unfamiliar one to many. However, almost everyone who had heard of the Floating Island incident knew that Qiānlíng hailed from a tiny, insignificant small Luo Secret Realm, yet she was an outstanding talent blessed with fortune. On the Floating Island, she had defeated over a hundred opponents with a single, supremely masterful sword technique.
Everyone was guessing who would be eliminated next on the sixth layer.
The result soon appeared.
One person suffered elimination—none other than Liu Feng.
On the seventh layer, another was eliminated: Bai Yufei.
For the ever face-conscious Bai Yufei and Liu Feng, being eliminated on the sixth and seventh layers was indeed somewhat embarrassing. Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on Flower Butterfly Immortal, so no one said anything.
On the seventh layer of the Tower of Stolen Gold, only Flower Butterfly Immortal, Mu Lingyao, Lord Qianxing, Xuan Yun, and Qiānlíng remained.
Soon, all five successfully entered the eighth layer.
Just as the crowd cheered, the five of them actually all smoothly entered the ninth layer.
This scene truly astonished many, especially regarding Qiānlíng.
After all, Flower Butterfly Immortal had once broken into the nineteenth layer.
Lord Qianxing's highest record was breaking through the fifteenth layer. Although Mu Lingyao and Xuan Yun's highest records were both the tenth layer, they shared a common point: they had entered the tenth layer multiple times. Xuan Yun had done so at least five times, while Mu Lingyao had done so no less than ten times.
Given their records, breaking into the ninth layer was hardly surprising. No one had expected Qiānlíng, previously unknown and unheard of, to also break into the ninth layer.
"Wow!
Sister Ling'er is amazing!
She actually broke into the ninth layer! It's truly incredible!"
Watching Qiānlíng standing on the ninth layer, Qiānniǎo below exclaimed in awe, her heart filled with envy, but even more so with pride for Qiānlíng.
"With your Sister Ling'er's ability, breaking through to over ten layers is absolutely no problem."
"Really?" Qiānniǎo looked at Gu Qingfeng incredulously. "Can Sister Ling'er really break into over ten layers?"
"Shouldn't be a problem. Your Sister Ling'er's comprehension is decent, her divine sense is passable, her reactions are good, and her deduction skills are also alright. If I'm not mistaken, she should be able to break into the eighteenth layer."
"Heavens! The eighteenth layer? Really?" Qiānniǎo asked again, "What about Flower Butterfly Immortal and Sister Lingyao? Can they break their own records this time?"
"Flower Butterfly Immortal probably can. Moreover, she's burned her bridges this time, determined to give it her all. She should not only break her record but also climb higher, probably reaching around the twenty-fifth layer. With good luck, reaching the twenty-seventh layer isn't impossible either. As for Mu Lingyao..." Gu Qingfeng looked at Mu Lingyao on the Tower of Stolen Gold and shook his head. "This girl's comprehension and divine sense are both quite good. If she could be as meticulous and cautious as Flower Butterfly Immortal and Qiānlíng, she could also climb higher. But this little girl is too careless and easily gets proud. Reaching the fourteenth or fifteenth layer would be pretty good for her."
"Little drunkard, are you telling the truth? If what you say really happens, then wouldn't Sister Flower Butterfly and Sister Lingyao both break their records?"
"Shouldn't be a problem."
Qiānniǎo didn't know whether to believe Gu Qingfeng's words and didn't ask further. She just tilted her head, gazing eagerly at the Tower of Stolen Gold.
Flower Butterfly Immortal was still the first to step into the formation. Not long after, Lord Qianxing, Mu Lingyao, Qiānlíng, and Xuan Yun followed suit.
When all five successfully appeared on the tenth layer, the crowd below cheered once more.
However.
Standing on the tenth layer, whether it was Qiānlíng entering this layer for the first time, or Xuan Yun and Mu Lingyao who had entered the tenth layer multiple times in a row, or even Flower Butterfly Immortal and Lord Qianxing who had once held much higher records—none of them showed any excitement on their faces. Far from excitement, each one looked rather tense.
Because they all knew the odds on the ninth layer were only one in ten. But once on the tenth layer, the odds weren't one in eleven, but one in twenty—the difficulty had doubled. Xuan Yun and Mu Lingyao, who had entered the tenth layer multiple times in a row, had all been eliminated on this very layer. Returning to the tenth layer now, saying they weren't tense would be a lie. Especially Mu Lingyao, because the next layer held extraordinary significance for her. If she successfully broke through, it would mean breaking her own record. Although failure wouldn't mean much, she had been eliminated on the tenth layer many times in a row and really didn't want to be eliminated again.
"Mu Lingyao, you'd better come down honestly! You've been eliminated on the tenth layer many times; you'll definitely be eliminated again this time! Don't embarrass yourself any further, just give up!"
Perhaps worried that Mu Lingyao might successfully break her record, Liu Shuangyan standing below kept shouting loudly.
"Lingyao, she's trying to disturb your concentration. You must focus your spirit, don't get distracted!"
Mu Lingyao knew Liu Shuangyan was resorting to despicable tactics again. She took a deep breath, calming her somewhat flustered heart, and began deducing the twenty ever-changing teleportation formations of the tenth layer.
