Chapter 159: Storming into the Spirit Ranking

Translator: Jn19930  Editor: Jn19930

Rampaging Spiritual energy rumbled within Mu Chen’s aura sea, as excitement filled the Nine Nether Bird’s eyes. Even Mu Chen could clearly feel the emotions that it had currently.

“Don’t be impatient…”

Mu Chen smiled wryly and said: “Since I’ve promised that I would help you obtain the Northern Sea Dragon’s Blood Essence, I will definitely do it. But let’s be realistic as well, okay? After all, you’re not going to tell me to go and steal it, right?”

Hearing Mu Chen’s voice, the Nine Nether Bird’s eyes calmed down for a bit. The raging black flames on it body slowly weakened as it flapped its wings and said: “You must help me obtain it. Right now, I only require that to awaken my bloodline, break through the shackles of a Spiritual Beast, and complete my evolution.”

Mu Chen nodded his head and smiled: “Relax. Since we’ve formed a Bloodline Bond, I will definitely help you out to the best of my abilities.”

As he spoke, he stared once again at the price of the Northern Sea Dragon’s Blood Essence and shook his head as he smiled bitterly. Just how long would it take before he gathers a total of 7,000,000 Spiritual Value Points?

But after he thought about it, he understood the reason behind it. After all, just how valuable is the Northern Sea Dragon’s Blood Essence? If it could be obtained easily, then it would be too good to be true.

To obtain something like this, they could only take it step by step.

Knock Knock!

At this moment, gentle knocks rang out near the door side. Mu Chen lifted his head and noticed a girl in a black dress leaning gently on the door. The girl’s figure was extremely slim and soft, and her waist had curves that would move any man. Her long hair flowed down like a silver river. At the same time, sunlight was shining through the windows and made the girl’s exquisite appearance even more beautiful.

Mu Chen stared at the enchanting girl in front of him and was completely loss in his thoughts.

“What are you looking at?” Luo Li walked in front of him and asked with a smile.

“I am quite fortunate that I suddenly became soft-hearted when I first met you in the Spiritual Road.” Mu Chen smiled. His black eyes stared at the exquisite face in front of him and said: “Otherwise, just how lonely would I be in the future?”

“From what you’ve said, it seems that you didn’t really want to save me in the beginning?” A hint of smile and gentleness also appeared in Luo Li’s eyes.

Mu Chen was completely speechless. After all, it wouldn’t have been very beneficial for a person to be soft-hearted within a ruthless place like the Spiritual Road.

“You chased me for more than half a month right after that. You should have calmed down already, right?”

Luo Li smiled faintly. A gentle smile rippled within her calm eyes. Mu Chen was fortunate, but wasn’t she also fortunate? Because of his appearance, her gloomy world had seemed to come alive. Even if she had numerous burdens on her shoulders, she still possessed a bit of expectation on meeting him once again.

“Okay. Let’s stop with the chitchat and talk about business.” Luo Li retracted her smile and looked seriously at Mu Chen. She said: “You are planning to fight against Yang Hong in the freshmen competition a month later, right?”

“Yes.”

Mu Chen nodded his head. He did not like Yang Hong at all. That guy was an accomplice of Ji Xuan on the Spiritual Road. All the events that were caused by Ji Xuan, this guy had also participated in them. Now that they’ve met in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there was no way that he would let him go so easily.

“It’s not that easy to deal with Yang Hong. Right now, he is also at the Heavenly Fusion Stage Initial Phase. However, he possessed the Earth Level Spiritual Pulse. Once he activates it, there aren’t many individuals that could compete against him at the Heavenly Fusion Stage.” Luo Li responded.

“Moreover, based on what I’ve heard, Yang Hong had once obtained the Soul Essence of the Ancient Tigerdragon. Thus, his combat abilities would have soared even more. If he were to fight with everything he’s got, he would be able to fight against a Heavenly Fusion Stage Middle Phase.”

“The Heaven Rank Middle Class Spiritual Beast, Ancient Tigerdragon, that’s ranked 50th on Myriad Beast Record’s Earth Ranking?” Mu Chen was quite surprised, and his expression turned serious. As expected, Yang Hong wasn’t an ordinary individual. With such combat abilities, even Mu Chen felt a bit of pressure.

With Mu Chen’s current strength, he would be able to fight against an Heavenly Fusion Stage Initial Phase opponent if he used the shared power of the Nine Nether Bird. However, it would barely be enough against a Heavenly Fusion Stage Middle Phase opponent.

If he completely relies on the Nine Nether Bird’s power, it would be a simple task for him to defeat a Heavenly Fusion Stage Middle Phase opponent. However, that was his last resort. Mu Chen did not want to borrow too much external power. Even if he formed a Bloodline Bond with the Nine Nether Bird, it wasn’t beneficial for his cultivation if he borrowed too much external strength.

“Although you have many techniques, your foundation is still weak. After all, you are still only at the Spirit Stage Middle Phase. The gap between you and Yang Hong is exceptionally great. Therefore, you will have to make a lot of preparations for the battle next month. At the very least, you will have to increase your strength to the Spirit Stage Late Phase within the month,” Luo Li said with a solemn expression.

Mu Chen nodded his head. Although his combat abilities were equivalent to a Heavenly Fusion Stage Initial Phase, he was only still at the Spirit Stage Middle Phase. This was his major weakness. But at the same time, it wasn’t easy for him to advance to the Spirit Stage Late Phase within a month.

“If you want to advance to the Spirit Stage Late Phase in a month, it isn’t impossible. You would just have to rely on a bit of help.” Luo Li smiled slightly. Then her Spiritual Value Card emerged in her hand. The card then shone with light that displayed an item catalogue. Assorted items reappeared on the screen as Luo Li scrolled down with her slender hand. Finally, she stopped at a certain spot and there were a few characters of light written there.
