Chapter 109: Recovery

Translator: Jn19930  Editor: Jn19930

During the next few days, Mu Chen spent all his time fully recovering himself. In a few days, it was time to head back to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. According to Mister Hao, there will be a true examination when they enter the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Comparatively, it seemed that this examination was not on the same level as the Northern Spiritual Academy’s Entry Competition. This was because the opponents this time around were not limited to a tiny group from the Northern Spiritual Academy but instead consisted of genius from various locations, far and wide.

Moreover, there would also be some monsters that passed through the Spiritual Road.

It would not be a simple matter to stand out during the examination. Thus, Mu Chen must recover completely before that day arrives.

Fortunately, Mu Chen did not meet many obstacles during his recovery. In just three days, the dim Spiritual Energy light wheel within his aura sea was once again starting to emit light.

Furthermore, its Spiritual Energy density was many times more powerful than before. It was evident that the battle and heavy injuries were actually beneficial to Mu Chen.

Although the Spiritual Energy within the Spiritual Wheel had become denser, there was still no feeling of advancement. However, Mu Chen was not disappointed. If he thought it was this simple to advance to the Spirit Stage, wouldn’t he truly be underestimating this level?

Even though his Spiritual Energy did not show any significant signs of breakthrough, Mu Chen obtained an unexpected harvest. He detected that the amount of Spiritual Seals had finally broken through to 21 Seals…

Breaking through from 20 Seals to 21 Seals was a qualitative advancement.

This was because by breaking through this level, it meant that Mu Chen possessed a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master’s strength!

To a certain extent, a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master was already comparable to a Spirit Stage powerhouse. Originally, Mu Chen thought that it would take at least a month before he could accomplish this step, but who would have imagined that the battle, that had left his body in ruins, would provide such a benefit to him.

Furthermore, with this hidden card, Mu Chen finally felt a bit of confidence towards the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s true examination.

Moreover, after Mu Chen broke through to a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master, the amount of Spiritual Seals he could condense increased significantly. In just two short days, the amount of Spiritual Seals he could condense had reached a staggering 26 Seals. Moreover, as time passed, the amount would gradually keep increasing.

Although the battle brought numerous benefits to Mu Chen, it also caused a bit of trouble for him. The trouble was that his father kept insisting that he reveal and explain the source of the sudden power boost from the day of his battle.

Mu Chen knew that Mu Feng only asked him because he was worried; after all, that power was far too strong. With Mu Chen’s strength, it was evident that he could not control it completely.

At first, Mu Chen did not want to talk about this matter, because he was afraid that Mu Feng would just become more worried. After all, even if Mu Feng knew about it, it was impossible for him to drag the Nine Nether Bird out of his body and would only cause both of them to develop a concern for no reason.

However, the situation with the Nine Nether Bird had changed. Although the Nine Nether Bird was still cold, its hostile attitude had softened a lot; and it would not attack him in secret. Therefore, Mu Chen didn’t need to worry about mentioning it to Mu Feng.

Therefore, Mu Chen told the truth to Mu Feng.

After his explanation, he noticed Mu Feng entering a daze suddenly. After a while, the latter gradually recovered from the shock and stared strangely at Mu Chen.

Despite the significant effort the Liu Territory and Mu Territory put into obtaining the highly-coveted Nine Nether Bird from the Black Eerie Swamp, they had both failed. Who would have imagined that during their time in the Black Eerie Swamp, the Nine Nether Bird would have actually taken refuge inside of Mu Chen’s body on its own?

Under Mu Feng’s gaze, Mu Chen could only shrug helplessly. He didn’t know why this had happened either. Perhaps, this could only be explained as fate.

After Mu Feng’s look of surprise lasted a while, he gradually got over the shock. However, he immediately frowned. As a Spirit Stage powerhouse, he had once ingested a Heaven Rank Spiritual Beast’s Soul Essence. He naturally knew how rebellious a Spiritual Beast of that level could be. Back in those days, he had gone through great pains in order to ingest the Dragonfire Bird; yet the Nine Nether Bird within Mu Chen’s body was many times stronger than the Dragonfire Bird.

Considering Mu Chen’s strength, Mu Feng could not determine whether it was good or bad for him to host such a vicious beast within his body.

Seeing that Mu Feng was concerned, Mu Chen consoled him for a while. Only after he explained the current status of his relationship with the Nine Nether Bird did Mu Feng relax a bit. However, Mu Feng still told him to remain vigilant. A Spiritual Beast of that level had an intelligence that was not inferior to that of a human. Also, given the Nine Nether Bird’s previous schemes, Mu Feng did not hold any doubts about its viciousness. That thing was definitely an extremely dangerous existence.

Hearing this, Mu Chen replied with a smile.

Time flew by quickly and in the blink of an eye, it was the day before his departure.

In the quiet courtyard, Mu Chen was currently cultivating with his eyes closed when he heard familiar footsteps approaching. He opened his eyes and noticed Mu Feng entering the courtyard.

“Dad.” Mu Chen directed a smile at Mu Feng as he spoke.
