“They’re the Three Great Generals of the Punishment Hall?”

Mu Chen’s gaze was grave as he looked at the direction of the cloudy mist that was vaguely being shown. Those three majestic figures were extremely powerful.

“It is indeed them, they are the final Guardians.” Li Xuantong muttered. Even he felt some pressure when facing those three, who were once the top 3 of the Heavenly Ranking.

“Furthermore, it is three people that are the Guardians. This round’s final Guardians are simply too hard.” Li Xuantong slightly frowned his brows. Although he was confident in his own strength, he wasn’t arrogant to the point that he would claim that he could confront those three all by himself. After all, those three weren’t ordinary figures. Back then, when he entered the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, those three were figures that he could only looked at from below.

According to the rules of the Hunting War, no matter how much Spiritual Light they obtained in this Hunting War, if they could not pass through the final round, everyone’s hard work would all be in vain. And all the Spiritual Light that they worked so hard to obtain would all be useless.

And, naturally, they would lose the benefits from the Spiritual Empowerment.

This was the crucial point to every student’s benefits that participated in the Hunting War.

Evidently, many students had thought of this and, instantly, the atmosphere in the field was a little stiff. Many people had their brows furrowed as they swept their gazes, searching for the figures that could ease their hearts.

“Why isn’t Shen Cangsheng here in this year’s Hunting War?”

“If he’s not here, I’m afraid that it would not be easy to get through the final test.”

“Yeah. Just relying on Li Xuantong, I’m afraid that it won’t be sufficient to deal with those three Generals.”

Those whispers started to spread out in this field and quite a few people were searching for that peak existence on the Heavenly Ranking. Only with him, would they have a guarantee to be able to obtain the Spiritual Empowerment without a hitch.

Compared to them, Mu Chen did not look around. In this view, he would rather depend on himself, rather than others. It was a downside to depend on others. Although Shen Cangsheng was indeed powerful. If he managed to return in time for the hunting War, it would be a matter that could stir people’s heart. However, Mu Chen wasn’t used to placing his hopes in others.

Li Xuantong’s face maintained indifference. His expression was calm and tranquil, without any change, as he allowed the whispers to spread out on the field.

On the azure bird, Dean Tai Cang smiled as he looked at the stirred field, “Do you guys have any objections regarding this Hunting War? If there aren’t any, then, let’s open up the Spiritual Light Realm.”

The Spiritual Light Realm was the Hunting War. It was a small realm that was established by the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and, every single year, the Spiritual Light Realm would be opened for the Hunting War.

Countless students exchanged glances and could only nod their heads helplessly. From the looks of it, it seemed that Shen Cangsheng would not turn up. If that’s the case, then they wouldn’t have any odds of success in the final test.

Those three Great Generals possessed high fame that was not only limited to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Even in the Northern Heavens Continent, they possessed some fame, as well. Although, it wasn’t for certain that they would be able to pass through the final test if Shen Cangsheng was here, at least their odds of success would be higher when he joined hands with Li Xuantong.

Dean Tai Cang lightly smiled as he looked at the situation. He waved his sleeve and the space before him started to twist. As the light wiggled, a huge spatial door slowly took form as boundless Spiritual Energy ripples rippled out.

“It’s almost time, so let’s begin this year’s Hunting War!” Dean Tai Cang saw the opened spatial door and laughed so clear and bright that it resounded within everyone’s ears.

The countless students all nodded their heads as smears of blazing intent flashed across their eyes shortly after. No matter what, admitting defeat before reaching the final test wasn’t the style of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s students. Even if this year’s Hunting War didn’t have powerful figures like Shen Cangsheng, they would still attempt to challenge the final test!

However, just when the countless students were about to soar up and enter the Spiritual Light Realm, there was a hurried break of wind that suddenly sounded from far away.

Astonishing Spiritual Energy ripples soared up into the heavens.

“Haha, how can I be left out of this Hunting War?” When the astonishing Spiritual Energy ripples appeared, his laughter was like thunder as it resounded above the field.

“Senior Apprentice Shen Cangsheng?!”

“He’s finally back!”

The entire field instantly exploded as countless students had excitement on their faces as they couldn’t help cheering. At the final moment, the tyrant of the Heavenly Ranking had returned!

Under the loud cheers, a streak of light flew over from far away and appeared in the sky. As the light dispersed, that black-clothed youth stood on the air with a disdainful demeanor that was like a goshawk in the air, the focus of everyone’s attention.

Countless gazes were looking at that figure with revere. Among this batch’s students, Shen Cangsheng was undoubtedly the tyrant among everyone.

His ranking on the Heavenly Ranking was something that no one could surpass.
