Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
The next day, as Mu Chen woke up from his sleep, he instantly felt that all of the tiredness within his body had disappeared into thin air. The acute pain radiating from within his body had dissipated by quite a bit, compared to yesterday.
Within his meridians, Spiritual Energy was, once again, coursing through, gently healing the many injuries that his meridians had suffered from the Divine Black Lightning.
As Mu Chen swept his senses throughout his body, he discovered that there were some meridians that were stained with a burnt-black colour. Obviously, the injuries that they had sustained were not light. However, on the bright side, the Thunder God Physique that he had practised had become somewhat stronger. If not, there would’ve been some trouble if those meridians cracked and shattered.
“I should be able to recover from all of these injuries after resting for the next two to three days.”
After muttering to himself, as he turned his body over, he felt a gentle and soft feeling coming from within his bosom. Lowering his head to look, he saw Luo Li resting on his bosom, sleeping extremely soundly. Under able to bear it, a smile appeared on his face as he bent down and gave a gentle kiss on Luo Li’s glistening forehead, before quietly leaving the bed and opening the door.
As he left the house, the gentle rays of the sun shone down, causing Mu Chen’s eyes to narrow uncomfortably, while his tight body quietly started to relax.
Various kinds of training sounds rang out from the distance as birds flew across the clear and blue sky. Their clear chirps caused the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to be uplifted with vitality.
As Mu Chen took a slow stroll out, the Divine Soul within his consciousness started its devouring. Absorbing the Spiritual Energy eagerly in the surround sky and earth within his body, the Divine Soul proceeded to refine it before devouring it.
As this continued, the dried-up reserves of Spiritual Energy within his body started to recover, bit by bit. As the Spiritual Energy flowed along his meridians, they ceaselessly cleared and repaired the damage present within his body.
Enjoying the rare chance to be idle and laze around, Mu Chen walked along to little road that ended at the public square by the lake where the Freshmen would usually train. Right now, there was already a huge crowd formed by the Goddess Luo Association members, who were engaged in their training.
“Big Brother Mu!”
Upon seeing Mu Chen’s arrival, all of the gazes seemed to have instantly locked onto him with joyful and worshipping looks erupted on the youthful and tender faces of the crowd.
Waving his hands towards them in acknowledgement, Mu Chen headed towards a stone platform, then towards one side of the public square, before taking a seat. Gently closing his eyes, he proceeded to continue absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth.
“Your recovery speed truly something. You’re already capable of jumping around after a day.” A voice containing gentle laughter suddenly rang out beside him, causing Mu Chen to open his eyes, only to see Ye Qingling smiling while standing next him.
“So you wish to see me lying down?” Mu Chen asked with a smile.
Taking a seat, Ye Qingling replied with a smile, “Congratulations. You’re now a peak influential figure in our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Even He Yao has been beaten down by you. Do you know that after the end of the hunt, the people of the Demonic Gate seem have been avoiding us the moment they see us? There isn’t any of the previous arrogance present in them now.”
“As of now, you’re the most famous person within our academy. When compared to Shen Cangsheng, you’re not the slightest bit behind.”
“And yet, I want to find some peace and quiet,” feeling helpless, Mu Chen said with a smile.
“If it’s peace and quiet, that’s something very difficult to find.”
With a sweet smile, Ye Qingling gripped her jade-like hand, causing a scroll of lambskin to appear in a flash. Handing it over to Mu Chen, she said, “Ever since the end of the hunt, the Heavenly Rankings have momentarily changed. As for you, you’re already the 3rd Rank on the Heavenly Rankings, second to only Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong…”
Receiving the lambskin, Mu Chen unfurled it, only to see a stone rubbing of the Heavenly Rankings. At the 3rd Rank, sure enough, he had spotted his name.
As for the 4th Rank, it had changed to He Yao, with Su Xuan being the 5th. Zhao Qingshan was 6th, while Xu Huang had dropped from the 5th to the 7th… other than the top two in the previous Top Ten in the Heavenly Rankings, all the rest had truly changed. Below the Top Ten places, there were even more foreign-looking names. Obviously, they should be the dark horses that had appeared within this hunt.
As for the 10th Rank, Mu Chen was surprised to unexpectedly see that it had been assigned to Luo Li. Although that lass had made her move for an exceedingly little number of times, the matter of her collaborating with him to kill that Spiritual King seemed to be enough to cause her to jump up a few places in the rankings.
“Rank 3 of the Heavenly Rankings.”
While he gave a smile, Mu Chen’s expression still remained exceedingly calm, without feeling overly joyous or surprised.
“Sigh. We’ve entered the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy at the same time. And now, you’ve become an influential figure, ranked 3rd on the Heavenly Rankings, while the rest of us are slowing crawling up.” said Ye Qingling, while somewhat sighing in lamentation. When she had first met Mu Chen, wasn’t the latter’s strength not even at the level of Spirit Stage? However, after a period of time that hadn’t even reached a year, the latter had already become an expert that stood at the 3rd Rank of the Heavenly Rankings…
