Within the hall, Mu Chen’s body was blown away awkwardly. His feet scraped across the metal-like floor and was finally blown into a massive stone pillar.

Puchi.

Fresh blood sprayed out from Mu Chen’s mouth. At this moment, Mu Chen was extremely pale. Although he had already overestimated the protector’s strength, he discovered that he had still underestimated the strength of a Heavenly Transformation Stage after enduring one blow.

Mu Chen rubbed his chest and pulled out a black piece. This black piece resembled a black pot with Spiritual Energy engravings placed on its surface. This was a Low Rank Spiritual Artifact that Mu Chen had obtained in the Northern Heavens World. He had never used it all this time, but at that earlier moment, Mu Chen had activated it. If it wasn’t for this black pot, right now, his injuries would be much more serious.

Mu Chen tossed aside the black piece and wiped away the blood from his mouth. Then, he stared at the protector in the distance. At this moment, the latter had also stopped moving. A scarlet light shone out from within the heavy armor.

Mu Chen stared firmly at the protector and clenched his hands. Although his estimations were mostly accurate, he must witness the final result to know if it had any effects.

If this method failed to sever the link between the protector and the Spiritual Arts Hall, Mu Chen could only try to think of another way.

As Mu Chen stared at the protector, Elder Zhu Tian and the others were also watching the screen of light from a certain location. A hint of surprise appeared as they noticed the unmoving protector.

With their keen senses, they could detect something abnormal.

Chi Chi.

While they were surprised, the icy-cold body of the protector had suddenly released out a disorderly Spiritual Energy. Then, the scarlet light emitted out from within the armor had dimmed before it had completely turned black.

“What happened?” Seeing this, Elder Zhu Tian was shocked and he asked in surprise.

“He destroyed the hidden Spiritual Array on the protector’s body and severed my connection with the protector.” A thought was conveyed over as the screen of light fluctuated.

“Oh?”

Elder Zhu Tian and the white-haired old man exclaimed loudly. Naturally, they knew that the Spiritual Arts Hall had the ability to control the protectors. This was achieved by the hall through a Spiritual Array placed on the protector’s body. However, this Spiritual Array was quite complicated. It would not stop even if a portion was destroyed unless it was the core of the Spiritual Array. However, Mu Chen had managed to destroy the core of the Spiritual Array.

This eyesight and the timing to grasp the opportunity was indeed marvelous.

“Should I reconnect to the protector?” An inhumane thought was conveyed out once again.

Elder Zhu Tian thought for a moment and shook his head. “Although he did not truly defeat the protector, he still managed to stop it. Therefore, it is considered that he had passed this test.”

Elder Zhu Tian glanced at the white-haired old man. The latter had also nodded his head and said, “Consider him passed.”

“Okay.”

This thought was conveyed over and the inhumane consciousness faded away.

“That little guy… He truly is surprising. He actually managed to defeat the protector using such a method,” Elder Zhu Tian exclaimed.

The white-haired old man also smiled. He stared at the boy in an awkward state within the screen of light and muttered: “It seems that there are indeed excellent seedlings within this year’s freshmen. Perhaps in the nearby future, he will possess the qualifications to challenge the seniors at the top.”

“When that happens, it will be quite fun to watch.”

Inside the hall, Mu Chen finally let out a sigh of relief after noticing that the Spiritual Energy had completely vanished from within the protector’s body. He immediately wiped out the sweat from his forehead.

It seemed that his gamble had paid off this time.

With Mu Chen’s strength, it would be quite difficult for him to forcibly destroy a Spiritual Array at this level. Therefore, he could only observe the Spiritual Array carefully and discover the core and the important array lines. He would destroy one of them and this would lead to an effect of completely disrupting the Spiritual Array.

Of course, he only managed to perform this feat because he had relied on the Nine Nether Bird’s Nine Netherflame. This flame was able to burn even Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to instantly destroy the Spiritual Array lines.

“This Nine Netherflame is indeed powerful.”

Mu Chen stared at the hint of black flame on the icy-cold body of the protector. He could not help but let out a praise. It seems that he must perform the Spiritual Energy Fusion that the Nine Nether Bird had mentioned after he exited the Spiritual Arts Hall. When his Spiritual Energy had fused with the Nine Nether Bird’s, the overbearingness and power of his Spiritual Energy would reach another level.

Moreover, the battle with the protector had finally made Mu Chen understood how powerful a Heavenly Transformation Stage powerhouse was. This made him quite alarmed. After all, Li Xuantong’s strength was probably even stronger than the protector. If he did not improve, he wouldn’t be able to contend against Li Xuantong. It was evident that he, Mu Chen, did not want to see a situation where he was completely powerless in the face of Li Xuantong.
