The central area of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had a majestic and vast field. This was the extremely famed Northern Sea Field of the academy. It was said that, long ago, this was the cultivating ground of the Northern Sea Dragon. Until later, when the academy was established, a huge field was opened here. But, generally speaking, only huge events would be held here.

And the gathering location of the Hunting War was here.

This field was sufficient to hold tens of thousands of people. Today, this place was filled with an endless sea of people and that astonishing boiling noise soared into the horizons. It could be clearly heard from anywhere in the range of a hundred miles.

When Mu Chen and the rest arrived here, they couldn’t help smacking their lips upon seeing such a huge amount of people. It was, indeed, worthy of being the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Mu Chen and his group stopped at the sky, their gaze looked at the Northern Sea Field. The front of the field was empty, which was different from the rear of the field. But, no matter how empty it was, no students dared to set foot here.

At the empty region, there was a copper sculpture. It was a huge creature with a fish-like scaled body, along with a dragon’s claws and tail. The image of it was sinister and powerful. Even if it was just a sculpture, it still possessed a fearsome might as it spread out. It was precisely this might that made the other students not daring enough to approach it.

“That’s the guardian beast of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the Northern Sea Dragon?” Mu Chen looked at that sculpture as he sensed that might. Immediately, he couldn’t help smacking his lips inwardly. This Northern Sea Dragon was, indeed, a fearsome existence.

“This Northern Sea Dragon possesses sky high status in our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Even Elder Tian Xi would have to be polite and respectful to him, when seeing that almighty existence.” Luo Li said softly.

Mu Chen nodded. Even among the Divine Beasts, the Northern Sea Dragon should be ranked at the top and, adding on to the fact that it had cultivated for so long, it’s strength was definitely dreadful. Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there weren’t that many people that could be stronger than it.

Mu Chen’s line-of-sight shifted from the Northern Sea Dragon’s sculpture and directed it towards the sky. From that direction, there was a cold gaze staring at him, it was He Yao.

Towards He Yao’s cold gaze, Mu Chen lightly smiled in reply. If a month ago, he had some fear towards He Yao, then all the fear had been suppressed right now.

If they were to confront, the victory wouldn’t be controlled by He Yao.

When He Yao saw Mu Chen’s fearless expression, his gaze turned even colder. Shortly after, he coldly retracted his gaze. However, Mu Chen knew that with that fella’s breadth of mind, he would definitely not let it go so easily in this Hunting War.

When Mu Chen retracted his gaze from He Yao, a series of wind breaking noises resounded from the back with a familiar Spiritual Energy fluctuation being emitted.

“It’s Li Xuantong.”

Mu Chen was extremely familiar with this Spiritual Energy fluctuation. He didn’t need to turn his head to know who it was. He slightly turned his head and, indeed, he could see Li Xuantong coming with a group of people.

Li Xuantong’s figure stopped beside Mu Chen and Luo Li. His gaze was a little complicated as he glanced at Luo Li. Thereafter, he turned towards Mu Chen with a trace of astonishment flashing across his eyes, “You’re a little stronger now.”

“If there isn’t any improvement, how would I dare to come?” Mu Chen smiled. He wasn’t being arrogant, but he wasn’t humble either. He knew that if he were to be humble with Li Xuantong, he would be looked down upon instead.

“It seems like you’re here to participate in the Hunting War…” Li Xuantong lightly smiled as he added, “If we were to meet in the Hunting War, I will no longer let you have anymore Pact of Three Moves.”

“That was my intention, as well.” Mu Chen stared at Li Xuantong as he nodded.

When the students behind Li Xuantong saw Mu Chen confronting Li Xuantong, they felt unhappy. In their view, although Mu Chen was able to take the Pact of Three Moves from Li Xuantong, it didn’t make them feel that Mu Chen could stand on the same level as Li Xuantong.

But it was just unhappiness and they still did not say anything in the end. Their eyes were staring at Mu Chen with ill intent, as though they’re issuing their warning.

“I’ll also participate the Hunting War with him. If we meet, then, when it happens, I can ask for some advice.” Luo Li’s voice was gentle as she said from the side.

Li Xuantong’s face slightly turned stiff and, shortly after, he helplessly shook his head. He looked at Mu Chen and spoke, “I heard that you tore apart the Headquarters of the Demon’s Gate?”

Mu Chen nodded. This matter was widely spread in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, so it wasn’t surprising that Li Xuantong knew about it.

“A little too rampant.” said Li Xuantong.

Mu Chen’s brows twitched. Just when he was about to speak, Li Xuantong smiled and continued, “However, you’re still a man. If you did not do anything, I’d most probably look for your trouble as you’re not even able to protect her here, so, how are you going to protect her in the future?”

Mu Chen extended his hand out and lightly held onto the girl’s slender and tender hands as he smiled, “Senior Li Xuantong, although right now, I’m not powerful. But if anyone wants to lay a hand on her, it would have to be done by stepping over my corpse.”

Luo Li’s eyes were gentle as she looked at the side of the youth’s handsome face. The smile on that firm face could not be doubted.

Li Xuantong lightly nodded, “He Yao, that fellow, if I were to encounter him in the Hunting War, I will definitely get rid of him.”
