In the air above the northern square.
As the space distorted into a whirlpool shape, a thin figure slowly walked out from within. At the moment when it stepped out, Spiritual Energy fluctuations that felt familiar and tyrannical to everyone rippled and undulated across the stretch of world.
“Mu Chen!”
At this moment, the eyes of countless Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy students were all wide open as ecstasy uncontrollably erupted from within. Those Spiritual Energies were too familiar to them.
“Mu Chen’s arrived!”
“He’s finally here?”
“It’s good now! Let’s see if those fellows from the Ancient Cauldron Spiritual Academy dare to continue being that rampant!”
Earth-shatteringly passionate and fervent voices rang out around the northern square as everyone’s faces were brimming with joy and surprise. As of now, Mu Chen’s reputation and prestige were no weaker than Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong. When the latter two were not at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Mu Chen’s prestige was obviously the greatest.
During the final fight of the Hunting War that day, he had thoroughly cemented himself at the apex position within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
That position was something that even He Yao was unable to strive for.
“This fellow… he’s finally appeared…” Su Xuan and the rest felt as though a heavy rock had been lifted off their backs. Mu Chen’s appearance had undeniably given every student a dose of adrenaline.
Beside her, He Yao’s expression started to waver between cloudy and clear. However, in the end, he did not say anything out loud. As of now, regardless of prestige or strength, Mu Chen was already above him, Even though he was unresigned, there was nothing that he could do.
Within the square, Xue Shi stared at the figure that had stepped out from the spatial whirlpool across the horizon with faintly narrowed eyes. From the passionate and fervent voices that rang out of his surroundings, he was able to realise the identify of the latter.
This is Mu Chen, 3rd Rank on the Heavenly Rankings?
After realising that, a cold laugh rang out from Xue Shi. Indeed, he wanted to see exactly how capable the 3rd Rank on the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s Heavenly Rankings was to actually inspire such confidence in them.
The entire square was enveloped by this passionate and fervent atmosphere. This caused Mu Chen, who had appeared in the air, to faintly feel some bafflement. Just an instant ago, he had just exited his long and deep state of training…
However, after leaving his training state of mind, without even having the opportunity to say his thanks to the bald old man, the latter had shattered and cracked space apart, before throwing him in.
Therefore, he had appeared at this location.
“What’s the matter?”
Mu Chen muttered with a slightly wrinkled forehead as he looked towards the northern square below him. After undergoing closed-state training for over a month, there shouldn’t be any big incidents happening in the academy, right? Why was it so lively down there?
Mu Chen’s gaze swept across the northern square below him. In the next instant, a chill suddenly erupted from within his eyes.
He had spotted Luo Li standing below the square. Currently, eye-piercing blood was dripping from the latter’s jade-like hands.
Luo Li’s injured?
A wave of anger flashed within Mu Chen’s eyes as his figure instantly shot forward, before appearing before Luo Li. Faintly frowning, he asked in a low and deep voice, “What happened?”
Upon seeing the appearance of Mu Chen, a shadow of happiness flashed within Luo Li’s eyes. Gently wiping away the blood stains on her hand, she replied with a faint smile, “It’s just a small injury, nothing of any importance.”
“Who did it?” Mu Chen asked in a deep voice. As of now, there were not that many people who dare to provoke them within this Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, right? Could it be He Yao? Hadn’t that fellow fought enough?
“I did it.” At this moment, an indifferent voice rang out from close by.
Slowly turning around, Mu Chen looked towards the square, and imprinted the youth with blood-red eyes, who was clad in blood-red robes and standing with his hands behind his back, within his eyes.
“Who are you?” Mu Chen asked while his forehead faintly wrinkled up. The person before him was extremely unfamiliar, and he had never seen such a person within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy before.
Whoosh!
From a short distance away, Su Xuan shot over, before descending beside Mu Chen. In a low voice, she explained the whole story of what happened to him. As she continued her recount, Mu Chen’s expression grew increasingly ugly.
This was especially so the moment when he heard that the youth with blood-red eyes before him had used such a despicable method to cause Luo Li to lose her concentration, injuring her shoulder and forcing her out of the square. As of now, the expression on his face was as dark and overcast as a thunderstorm.
“Sorry. We’ve originally planned to not let Luo Li get entangled with this. However, we truly had no one else to rely on. Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had temporarily left the academy, while you have been missing…” said Su Xuan with some regret.
“Senior Sister Su Xuan, I’m also a student of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Protecting its name is also my duty,” Luo Li’s voice gently interrupted Su Xuan’s apology.
Mu Chen nodded his head faintly, while his originally dark and overcast expression slowly returned to calmness at this moment. With a soft voice, he said, “You two step back of first. Next, let me take over.”
Seeing that Mu Chen was that calm, while having such chilling intent gushing out from his voice, Su Xuan and Luo Li both knew that the former had become angry. Next, he would take action.
“Careful, he’s a member of the Blood God Clan, one of the four God Clans in the Western Heavenly World,” reminded Luo Li. Although this Xue Shi had used some despicable methods, anyone who neglected his strength due to this might have to pay serious consequences.
Hearing her reminder, Mu Chen gently nodded his head. Blood God Clan, huh? Although they’re influential fellows, they didn’t have the qualifications to extend to such a place. Since they’d extended to such a place, Mu Chen didn’t mind to chopping this extension off.
Due to Luo Li, Mu Chen did not have the slightest bit of favorable impressions towards the other three God Clans in the Western Heavenly World.
