Chapter 108 (2/2)

“I’ll go get some water for you.” Tang Qian’Er muttered to Mu Chen before turning around to leave.

Mu Chen stared at Tang Qian’Er’s figure as she left, before he finally closed his eyes tightly. His consciousness entered his body. The majority of the injured meridians in his body had already recovered while he was unconscious. However, the Spiritual Energy light wheel within his aurasea had become quite dim and lacked Spiritual Energy. It seemed that it would only become abundant again after he cultivated it for a while.

However, Mu Chen did not care about this at all. Instead, he headed to a location within aurasea. At that location, the Nine Nether Bird was lying down on top of the mandala flower. The black flames on the surface of its body had become dim. It was evident that Mu Chen wasn’t the only one who was injured this time. Even the Nine Nether Bird had suffered greatly.

The Nine Nether Bird seemed to be aware of Mu Chen’s glance and opened its eyes slightly. It stared coldly at Mu Chen before a mocking thought was conveyed over: “You’re sure long-lived. You actually survived.”

Mu Chen smiled and ignored the ridicule from the Nine Nether Bird. He only replied seriously and sincerely: “It’s all thanks to you this time.”

Sensing the sincerity within Mu Chen’s voice, a hint of unnaturalness flashed through the Nine Nether Bird’s eyes. Although the thoughts conveyed were still cold, it no longer taunted him: “What thanks? I didn’t help you for free. You should remember what you’ve promised me, otherwise, I’ll make you pay a price if you fail to keep that promise.”

“Relax. What I promised is still valid. I won’t ingest you, and you can leave whenever you want.” Mu Chen nodded.

“As for the other condition, I’ll try to help you if I can. But what is the condition?”

Hearing this, a hint of light appeared within the Nine Nether Bird’s eyes. It hesitated for a moment before asking: “You’re going to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?”

“Yes.”

“Then I want you to obtain an item from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy,” The Nine Nether Bird replied.

“What item?”

“The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy has an Ancient Divine Beast known as the Northern Sea Dragon. Its blood essence possesses an Ancient Divine Beast’s blood. If I manage to obtain that, I will be able to use it as a catalyst and awaken the ancient blood sleeping within my body. By doing this, I will finally be able to complete my evolution and advance to a Divine Beast.”

“Northern Sea Dragon…” Hearing this, Mu Chen sucked in mouthful of cold air. It was a terrifying existence within the Myriad Beast Record’s Heaven Rankings. For the Nine Nether Bird to ask him to obtain its blood essence, isn’t it thinking too highly of him?

“Relax. Although the Northern Sea Dragon’s blood essence is valuable, it wouldn’t cause much harm to it if a bit was taken out. The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy probably has a stock of it, so you should be able to get it as long as you can think of a way.” The Nine Nether Bird’s thoughts were conveyed over.

Mu Chen gave a bitter smile as he replied, “I’ll do my best.”

The Nine Nether Bird nodded. The Northern Sea Dragon was indeed troublesome. Even in its peak condition, it was impossible for the Nine Nether Bird to defeat the Northern Sea Dragon. The only method it could suppress the Northern Sea Dragon was to complete its evolution to the Nine Netherworld Bird and fully awaken the ancient Undying Bird’s blood.

Therefore, it had placed all its hope on Mu Chen. If he was able to perform exceptionally well within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there should be a chance to obtain it.

“Next up, I’ll have to rest for a while. Therefore, you shouldn’t think of borrowing my strength all the time. You should just behave yourself and protect your life, so you won’t die too early.” The Nine Nether Bird reminded him.

Mu Chen nodded reluctantly. To be honest, he did not want to borrow this strength again. This was because the cost of borrowing it was too great. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Liu Territory had cornered them, he wouldn’t have been forced into using such measure.

After Mu Chen finished his conversation with the Nine Nether Bird, his consciousness exited his aurasea. Just as he opened his eyes, he noticed Tang Qian’Er pushing open the door and entering with a water kettle in her hands.

“How long was I unconscious for?” Mu Chen took the cup and asked.

“About half a month.” Tang Qian’Er thought for a moment before replying.

Hearing this, Mu Chen clicked his tongue. He had actually fallen unconscious for such a long period of time. It seemed that the aftereffects of borrowing the Nine Nether Bird’s power were indeed quite heavy.

“That’s right…Half a month…Doesn’t that mean I missed the time to go to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?” Mu Chen thought of something and quickly asked.

“What’s the hurry? There is still 5 days.” Tang Qian’Er batted an eye at Mu Chen.

Only then, Mu Chen was relieved. If his entry to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was delayed because of this, it would be a severe loss to him.

“Hmph, are you thinking about the fact that nobody would bother you once you’ve entered the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?” Tang Qian’Er’s face turned sour as she asked coldly.

“How is this possible? With Sister Qian’Er’s beauty, you will definitely be in the top ranks, even if you enter the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy. Although the students within the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy are all female, the five academies would often communicate with each other. When that happens, wouldn’t you completely captivate all the other academies’ students? You’ll probably be unhappy if I beg you to bother me then.” Mu Chen smiled and replied.

Tang Qian’Er chuckled. She raised her chin proudly and said: “That’s correct. There are many outstanding youths in the Five Great Academies. Once I fall for someone, who would care about you?”

After saying this, Tang Qian’Er raised her fists at Mu Chen and muttered: “Moreover, you shouldn’t act too arrogantly. I will surely cultivate properly within the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy. If by some chance I meet you again, I’ll show you how amazing I am!”

“That’s enough for now. I’ll call Uncle Mu and the others over. You should rest for a while.”

Tang Qian’Er smiled at Mu Chen as she ended the conversation. Then, she stood up and headed outside.

Mu Chen stared at the girl’s figure as she departed. He inhaled deeply as his closed his eyes. At the same time, he slowly clasped his hands together.

The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, I’m really looking forward to you.
