Chapter 153: The Freshman’s Counterattack

Translator: Jn19930  Editor: Jn19930

Roar!

Deafening roars rang out within the vast and empty hall from the dragon and elephant. At that moment, the entire hall trembled as a formidable Spiritual Energy fluctuation emitted from the giant Spiritual Array above Mu Chen.

”Dragon Elephant Array!”

A flash of light surged through Mu Chen’s eyes as he changed his hand seals. At the same time, the massive Spiritual Array shook. Then dark-golden beams of light surged out and formed into a galloping dragon and elephant. As they galloped through the empty skies, a powerful pressure erupted viciously in An Ran’s direction

While An Ran stood in the air and stared at the golden dragon and elephant, dense Spiritual Energy gushed out from her hands as she struck out towards it.

“Shattering Ethereal Palm!”

Once An Ran attacked the golden dragon and elephant, the air in front of her seemed to become distorted. A dense Spiritual Energy gathered and formed into a palm of light as it smacked heavily against the approaching golden dragon and elephant.

Boom!

The two attacks collided, and an terrifying Spiritual Energy shockwave was instantly emitted.

“Dragon Elephant Suppression!”

Mu Chen said out softly. The golden dragon and elephant quickly turned into a golden disc with a dragon and elephant covering it. Then, with a loud explosion, it completely shattered the palm of light as it charged fiercely towards An Ran.

“Wave Surfing Slash!”

An Ran’s eyes remained cold as Mu Chen’s attack approached her. Dense Spiritual Energy gathered on her hands and formed a wave-like blade of light. Then, as she swung her arm down, the blade of light rushed out and slashed the golden disc. Metal clanging sounds rang out when they collided. In the end, the blade of light actually split the golden disc into two halves.

Commotion instantly rang out from the new students within the giant hall. An Ran was truly too powerful. Moreover, she had numerous powerful Spiritual Arts. Although the power of the Spiritual Array arranged by Mu Chen contained extraordinary power, she was able to destroy it completely.

Swish!

While the new students were focused on the match between Mu Chen and An Ran, a beam of light suddenly shone down into the hall. Afterwards, two figures emerged from within the beam of light and everybody immediately turned their gaze in that direction. They noticed that Luo Li and a senior, who had a flushed expression, had reappeared within the hall.

“Thanks for the battle, senior.” Luo Li looked at the boy with reddened cheeks as she spoke softly.

Hearing this, the boy suddenly let out a bitter laugh. Who would have known that this beautiful girl would actually be this powerful? With her Heavenly Fusion Stage strength, it was no wonder that An Ran had said that she was the only one that could compete against her.

“Luo Li actually won this quickly?”

The new students recovered from the shock and exclaimed out loud. Then, they stared in shock at the girl in black dress that possess a slender body. However, the latter’s eyes remained calm and completely ignored everybody’s gazes. She only lifted her exquisite face and stared at a few screens made of light until it finally landed on the screen where Mu Chen was located. A hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

Bang!

An Ran’s body appeared in front of Mu Chen’s body as her hand contained a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation. It headed mercilessly towards Mu Chen’s chest. However, it was blocked completely by the latter’s arms.

A muffled sound rang out and Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitted from that spot. Mu Chen’s body was instantly sent flying away and his feet slid on the ground for a few hundred meters until he finally stabilized. It was evident that his arms were slightly numb.

In that moment, Mu Chen’s eyes turned slightly serious. This was his second time fighting against a real Heavenly Fusion Stage powerhouse. The first time was naturally against Liu Jingshan. However, he was only at the Spiritual Rotation Stage back then. The gap between the two of them was simply indescribable. Therefore, he could only fight against him after borrowing the strength of the Nine Nether Bird. But even so, the price he paid was that he had to fall unconscious for nearly half a month.

Right now, it was apparent that he was much stronger than before. Even if he only relied on his own strength, he was still able to fight back against a powerhouse of that level, though he was completely being overwhelmed.

If he wanted to defeat An Ran, it wasn’t enough with just these methods!

An Ran’s body turned into a figure of light once again as she rushed over towards him. A cold laugh rang out as another vicious Spiritual Energy impact enveloped Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s body trembled slightly before he retreated quickly back using afterimages. Only after he evaded An Ran’s attack did he dare let out a breath of relief. His consciousness entered his aura sea and saw the Nine Nether Bird elegantly extending its wings with black flames as it sat comfortably on the mandala flower.

It was evident that the current Nine Nether Bird had regained a bit of power after absorbing the Mysterious Spirithail Dragon and the Geocentric Flame Japalura’s Soul Essences. Not only was the color on its body becoming more profound, even the black flames that shrouded its body had become a lot denser.

“You shouldn’t need my strength against such an opponent, right?” The Nine Nether Bird said lazily: “Moreover, I don’t want to attack since I still have a lot of Spiritual Energy that’s not digested yet.”

“I just came here to get the power that belongs to me.”

Mu Chen replied snappily. After the Bloodline Bond, to a certain extent, a portion of the Nine Nether Bird’s powers belongs to him as well. He could easily use it as if it was his own. At the same time, a portion of his powers could be used by the Nine Nether Bird. However, it was evident that the Nine Nether Bird does not care about his current power.

This was one of the benefits of the Bloodline Bond.

Of course, the power that he could freely use could not compare in strength with the all-out attack that the Nine Nether Bird had done back then against the Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts. However, it was already sufficient for him right now.

“That’s fine.”
