Chapter 332 (2/2)
When people were compared to people, it sure caused people to feel extreme indignation and inferiority.
Mu Chen smiled at her. Not wanting to engage in a conversation about this topic any longer with her, he asked, “Where’s Sun’er? It seems that I’ve not seen her for some time already.”
“That little lass’ luck is quite good. After wandering around the academy, she met an Elder of the Northern Spiritual Academy. That Elder primarily trains in Spiritual Arrays, and is reportedly a Spiritual Array Grandmaster. After seeing Sun’er’s extremely good talent, she took her under her wing to train in Spiritual Arrays.” Ye Qingling replied.
“Spiritual Array Grandmaster?” upon hearing those words, Mu Chen’s eyes instantly contracted. For Spiritual Array Masters, the initial stages were ranked one to nine. However, strictly speaking, Spiritual Array Masters ranked one to five can only reluctantly be considered as entering this inner room of the Dao of Spiritual Arrays. As for those that had stepped past the threshold of 5th Grade and became a 6th Grade, that would be a completely different story. Spiritual Array Masters that reached this stage were worthy enough to be called Spiritual Array Grandmasters.
Only Spiritual Array Grandmasters were considered to have touched the true mysteries and workings of Spiritual Arrays.
The 5th Grade to the 6th Grade were akin to the frightening gap between the Heavenly Completion Stage and the Sovereign Stage.
Mu Chen’s talent in Spiritual Arrays was extremely high. From being a 1st Grade to a 4th Grade Spiritual Array Master, it was basically smooth without any hitches. However, even though that was the case, he did not dare to say that he could easily step past the threshold and become a genuine Spiritual Array Grandmaster.
As for this kind of Spiritual Array Grandmaster, Mu Chen dared to bet that there might not be more than a few people with such capabilities even in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Being able to be mysteriously taken under a wing of such an Elder, this was an opportunity that Sun’er had gotten that had made even Mu Chen feel his eyes turning slightly red.
Sun’er truly did have a rather high talent on the aspect of Spiritual Arrays, and her being spotted was something that Mu Chen didn’t feel strange about. However, his talent in Spiritual Arrays wasn’t any weaker than hers. But he didn’t see any Elders showing a particular fancy towards him. Looks like having a cute appearance does have many uses.
“Haha. According to Sun’er, this Elder’s temper is extremely strange and peculiar. She doesn’t only look at one’s talent, she also doesn’t have any biasness. Even if your talent is much higher than others, she might not care the slightest bit about you,” looking at Mu Chen’s current appearance, Ye Qingling couldn’t help laughing while commenting.
In response, Mu Chen gave a bitter laugh. As of now, he was already a 4th Grade Spiritual Array Master. However, in reality, his speed of improvement had started to slow down. Furthermore, he was still not clear of the many states of mind towards the Spiritual Arrays, and did not know exactly what way he needed to go to increase his familiarity and comprehension of them.
After all, currently, he had just managed to come in contact with the “Heart’s Eye” state. As a 4th Grade Spiritual Array Master, he should not be able to arrange a 5th Grade Spiritual Array. However, relying on the mysteriousness of the “Heart’s Eye” state, he was able to compensate for the disparity of his achievements.
But, the problem was that Mu Chen’s attainments in the “Heart’s Eye” state was only the preliminary contact, and was inconsistent whenever he used it. If he were to meet with an off-chance of it failing while in a life-or-death situation, that would result in him losing his life.
However, if he was able to receive the guidance of a Spiritual Array Grandmaster, perhaps, he might be able to increase his familiarity and control over the “Heart’s Eye” state…But, how could such an opportunity be easy to find?
The few Spiritual Array Grandmasters have extremely high statuses in the Northern Heavens Academy. If they didn’t want to teach you, no amount of Spiritual Value Points would matter to them.
“I’ll have a chat with Sun’er later to see if she could mention you to that Elder. Your talent in Spiritual Arrays is higher than Sun’er. I think that the Elder should not reject your request.” Upon seeing the fluctuation of emotions on Mu Chen’s face, Ye Qingling did not dare to continue teasing him as she spoke her suggestion earnestly.
“That would be much appreciated,” replied Mu Chen while nodding his head. As of now, what he really needed was training in the aspect of Spiritual Arrays. After all, it wasn’t like training one’s Spiritual Energy. There was too many overly complicated information and intricacies in this aspect. Without the guidance of others, there would always be a lot of winding paths in a solitary person’s pursuit along this road.
Gesturing towards Mu Chen, Ye Qingling noticed that there was a faint trace of paleness still present on Mu Chen’s face. Not wanting to continue disturbing him, after a short word or two, she turned around and left.
Looking at Ye Qingling’s figure as she headed towards the distance, Mu Chen temporarily put the issue of his Spiritual Array mastery aside. As of now, the most important thing he needed to do was to recover from his injuries, before heading to the Punishment Hall within three days to receive his Spiritual Light Empowerment.
Over the next two days, although the news of Mu Chen rising to the 3rd Rank of the Heavenly Rankings was trending rather fervently, he did not give a single care about it. Not taking even half a step out of the Freshman Area, he had put an end to all of the disturbances coming from the outside world.
Under the peaceful and quiet rehabilitation, the injuries present within Mu Chen’s body gradually recovered. Although there were still some slightly hidden injuries within his meridians, these could only be ridden through time, and was something that couldn’t be rushed.
With the arrival of the third day, Mu Chen’s complexion had almost completely recovered. All the paleness on his face was completely gone, while vigorous Spiritual Energy coursed throughout his body with faint traces of some improvement to them.
Standing on top of the house, Mu Chen did a lazy stretch, causing crackling sounds to rattle off from all the joints in his body akin to firecrackers. This extremely comfortable feeling caused Mu Chen to let out an uncontrollable groan.
“Looks like you’ve recovered quite well.” Luo Li’s satisfied voice rang out from behind him. As of now, Mu Chen was truly back to becoming vigorous and lively like a rising dragon. Three days ago, after becoming that frail and weak, it had caused quite a bit of pain to Luo Li’s heart.
“Basically more or so.”
Mu Chen replied while nodding his head. Looking towards the inner part of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he said, “Let’s go. We should head towards the Punishment Hall. After risking my life to obtain the Spiritual Light Empowerment, we should at least enjoy what it’s worth, right?”
Luo Li gently nodded her small head in approval. With regards to the Spiritual Light Empowerment, truthfully, she was also somewhat curious.
Extending his hand out, under Luo Li’s blushing face, Mu Chen grasped her lovable little hand with his. With a light squeeze and he grin, he lead her along and floated into the air. In the next moment, the two transform into streaks of light, shooting towards the Punishment Hall within the academy.
