Mu Ling and Mu Xiao were utterly shocked that Ye Chen intended to take on a fifth-level task.
Even though they were both incredibly powerful within the Divine Kingdom, they only dared to take on fourth-level tasks. Though Ye Chen's combat power during the slaying of Xue Xian had surpassed theirs, the two could see that was not his inherent strength; it was thanks to a rare item.
At present, Ye Chen's combat power was, at most, roughly the same as theirs.
Yet fifth-level tasks were countless times more dangerous than the fourth-level ones!
After all, fifth-level tasks were specifically designed for those at the Earth Divine Venerable level, and most tasks could only be hoped to be completed by someone with combat power of a high Earth Divine Venerable.
Moreover, completing tasks is not the same as other trials. In many cases, a moment of inattention could result in death during the task.
