Mu Chen and his party exited the Mission Hall, raised their faces towards the blue horizon, and sighed breaths of relief. Now that they’d turned in their report, their mission was considered complete.

“Thanks for back there.” Mu Chen smiled as he held his Spiritual Value Point Card. 1,500,000 Spiritual Value Points. This was his largest harvest since entering the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. And now, he was also another step closer towards the Blood Essence of the Northern Sea Dragon.

Su Xuan smiled back. “It’s all thanks to you that we managed to complete this mission. It’d be ridiculous for us to let your rewards be halved.”

The other three nodded at that. If it hadn’t been for Mu Chen, they might not have returned alive — forget about the mission.

“Mu Chen.” Li Qing suddenly spoke up. She raised her jade-like hands, called out her Spiritual Value Point Card, and tapped it. A concentrated light flew out from her medal.

She looked at him and quietly explained, “As I said before, you helped me win the Draconic Spiritual Bracelets, so my mission reward is now yours.”

Mu Chen helplessly smiled back. Li Qing was a cold and strong woman — once she decided on something, there was no way to change her mind. All he could do was nod and accept the light streaming into his Spiritual Value Point Card. In an instant, his Spiritual Value Points was over 3,000,000.

Guo Xiong smiled too. “Haha. Here’s some from me. I took Bai Xuan’s High Rank Spiritual Artifact, even though you’re the one who killed him. You definitely have to accept these 1,500,000 Spiritual Value Points.”

A second light flew out from Guo Xiong’s Spiritual Value Point Card.

When Mu Chen killed Bai Xuan, he didn’t keep his High Rank Spiritual Artifact – Blood Spear — instead, he gave it Guo Xiong. After all, Mu Chen had already reaped the largest rewards from their mission to the White Dragon Hillocks. Not only did he obtain the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl, there was also the Ominous Artifact currently suppressed in his aura sea.

Mu Chen had clearly benefited the most from this mission.

Mu Chen could only smile bitterly as he watched the light pour from Guo Xiong’s card into his own. But he knew nothing about the Great Meru Demonic Pillar inside of him. As of right now, he needed all the Spiritual Value Points he could get — therefore, he could only resign himself and accept their gifts. All he could do was make note of Guo Xiong’s favor in his heart.

Su Ling’er spoke up as well. “Mu Chen, do you need more Spiritual Value Points?” Her slender fingers were wrapped around her Spiritual Value Point Card. She intended to help him, as well.

“I need a huge number of Spiritual Value Points — but everyone here also participated in this mission and deserves their rewards. I’ll accept Li Qing and Guo Xiong’s favors, and I’ll return them when I get the chance. As for the rest, please stop giving me more favors to carry.” Mu Chen sighed helplessly. Of course, he wanted to collect all the Spiritual Value Points he needed to purchase the Blood Essence of the Northern Sea Dragon, but he still found it hard to take his teammates’ mission rewards.

Su Ling’er saw the determination in his eyes and quietly murmured, “Alright then. But if you ever need more Spiritual Value Points, you should come find me.”

Mu Chen smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. Then, he turned to cup his hands towards the entire group. “Since the mission is over, I’ll take my leave first and return to the freshman area.”

He hadn’t seen Luo Li for nearly half a month and his heart was all tense from the yearning. He wanted to appear before her immediately, break the clam within her pupils, and take her into his arms.

Su Xuan and the others nodded. “Alright then. See you later.”

Mu Chen took his cue and turned to fly towards the freshman area. Barely ten minutes later, he slowed down as the familiar scene spread out before his eyes.

At the center of the freshman campus was a clear lake, and next to it was the plaza. Many members of the Goddess Luo Association were quietly seated and cultivating. At the center of the plaza were Zhou Ling and Ye Qingling.

Shhhhuuuu.

A gale whipped up and many of the cultivators opened their eyes in alarm to watch a single figure slowly descend into the plaza.

“Boss Mu Chen has returned!”

“Boss Mu Chen is back!”

The freshmen broke the silence and cried out in surprise when they saw him. Everyone stood up with joy in their eyes.

“Mu Chen?”

Zhou Ling and Ye Qingling also opened their eyes in disbelief when they saw Mu Chen standing in the plaza with them. A moment later, those expressions were replaced by joy.

“So, this guy is finally back.” Zhou Ling walked up to him and smiled.

Mu Chen smiled back, then looked around. “Where’s Luo Li?”

The moment he mentioned Luo Li, everyone’s expressions turned stiff. The other members of the Goddess Luo Association also hesitated.
