"It can't be..." Mu Chen swallowed nervously. "Aren't you supposed to be completely safe inside the Tower of Calamity?"
Elder Mu chuckled slyly. "Completely safe? No Ancient Ruins have ever been completely safe. The Magical Beasts don't care if you're a challenger. The moment you threaten what they're guarding, they *will* eliminate you. So, little guy, for your own sake, you absolutely must not rush into the tower before you reach the Martial King realm. You're a smart kid; I trust you can tell what's important."
"I understand!" Mu Chen's resolve was already firm, so he wasn't about to get carried away by this minor success. He could already tell how vast the gap was between him and a Fifth-Ring Martial King just from Aiolos's strength, to say nothing of the powerful Magical Beasts further in the tower, which were even more ferocious than the puppet.
