Chapter 381 (2/2)
Mu Chen was slightly startled, before nodding his head. This didn’t mean that the students from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had talents that were weaker than those people. It was just the way the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy works. All of those core geniuses were seemingly raised and nurtured by the various sects and families. Compared to them, the students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy came from all sort of places and directions. Although they had trained and cultivated for a number of years, this time was too short when compared to those outstanding youths at the peak within the Northern Heavens Continent. It’s to the point of being able to lead to a great threat to the students.
This created a situation where students with strength would leave the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy upon becoming fully-fledged towards places at higher levels, seeking stronger Dao paths. As for the new students that had just entered, they would temporarily be unable to compare with those peak geniuses that had stayed in the Northern Heavens Continent for a long time. Therefore, this had created the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, which seemed to be a leviathan, but rarely produced any characters that were able to truly stand at the highest peak within the younger generations of the Northern Heavens Continent.
That’s because, the people that the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy receives were students, and not sect disciples or clan disciples that had to contribute their all for their clans or sects…
“As of now, the strongest student within our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy rankings is Shen Cangsheng. His talent is extremely good. If he’s given a couple more years, wanting to exceed the peak talents within the younger generation in the Northern Heavens Continent isn’t a difficult matter. However, that won’t be happening now,” replied Dean Tai Cang.
Mu Chen faintly nodded his head. This time they had been forced to such a stage just to deal with Mo Longzi. What more could they achieve against the true elites within the peak of the younger generations? An example would be Mo Xingtian, who was an even stronger character than Mo Longzi.
However, he still had a slight feeling of not wanting to give up on that alluring “Divine Spiritual Baptism”. It was extremely important for him and Luo Li. After hesitating a moment, he gathered his courage and asked Dean Tai Cang, “Dean, would it be possible for me to give it a try?”
Dean Tai Cang’s eyes immediately narrowed as his stared at Mu Chen. After a while, shaking his head, he replied, “Your training and cultivating time is too short. Although I admit your capabilities, it’s still too early for you to participate at the Divine Spiritual Mountain.”
Tilting his head, Mu Chen appeared wanting to say something. However, with a wave of his hand, Dean Tai Cang continued speaking, “Gather them all and prepare to return to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Every student back at the academy is still waiting for news about you guys.”
After completing his statement, a laugh rang out of him as he looked towards Mu Chen and said, “This time, I’m afraid that you’ve become a hero for our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Even Mo Longzi was beaten down by you.”
Mu Chen gave an embarrassed smile, before turning around and shooting of towards Shen Cangsheng and the rest.
Looking at the back figure of Mu Chen, a expression of deep pondering flashed within Dean Tai Cang’s eyes, appearing as if he was thinking of something.
Under the Spiritual Energy nourishment from everyone, Lin Zheng and the other two had successfully woken up gradually from their stupors. Embarrassed and guilty expressions were present on their faces. Although they were in a stupor earlier, that didn’t mean that they were totally unclear of what had happened.
“Haha, Senior Brother Lin Zheng. That Mo Longzi had long reached Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. We truly weren’t his match. Even I had lost.” Shen Cangsheng spoke out while sending a candid smile. “However, we’re fortunate to have that fellow, Mu Chen, fight and beat that fellow, Mo Longzi, up for us. Even I don’t know if he will be able to live after that beating.”
“Mu Chen defeated Mo Longzi?”
Lin Zheng and the other two were slightly dumbfounded as they looked towards Mu Chen with inconceivable expressions within their eyes. Heavenly Transformation Stage Late Phase against Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. They were simply unable to imagine how this disparity was bridged by the latter.
Shrugging his shoulders, Mu Chen spoke out. “I was just lucky this time… Our mission’s complete. Let’s go back to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy first, alright?”
Nodding their heads, everyone started to support their injured compatriots, before shooting into the sky.
Mu Chen fell to the back and headed off together with Luo Li. Looking at the sparkling jade-like face of the young girl that was exquisite to the point of perfection, he quietly extended his hand, and grasped the slender and chilling jade-like hands of the young girl.
Luo Li’s lovable face turned slightly red as she shot a coquettish glare at Mu Chen. The latter, however, sent a grin back over while saying, “Ain’t I awesome?”
Luo Li rolled her eyes unhappily towards him, her coquettish looks were extremely alluring, while an amusing laugh rang out within her heart. This fellow always maintained a humble and modest appearance in front of others, and yet he always acted so proud of himself in front of her, making her really want to give him a bite.
However, when Luo Li noticed the remnants of the wounds still present on his body, her clear and limpid eyes turned much more gentle. Her small hand gently grasped Mu Chen’s hand, and her angled loveable and snow-white chin gave a gentle nod. A soft and gentle “Mhm” sound rang out, satisfying the little bit of vanity present in Mu Chen’s heart.
Floating in the sky, Dean Tai Cang looked towards everyone from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy before nodding his head. Turning around to cup his fist and smile towards the Western Extreme Sovereign, he spoke out, “Sorry for the trouble this time, Old Brother Western Extreme.”
“It’s alright, it’s alright,” replied the Western Extreme Sovereign with a smile and a wave.
Without continuing to waste time talking, spatial fluctuations instantly enveloped everyone with a wave of his sleeve. As space started to distort, everyone disappeared into thin air.
Looking at the place where the people from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had disappeared into, the eyes of the Western Extreme Sovereign faintly narrowed before speaking out with a faint smile, “Never imagined that the Demonic Dragon Palace’s Mo Longzi would actually get beaten up. Looks like they will have one less participant in the Divine Spiritual Mountain this time.”
“In the first place, Mo Longzi’s not sufficient to be feared.” Beside him, Xi Qinghai spoke out with a smile. From his tone and words, he didn’t place Mo Longzi much within his eyes.
“I don’t know of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy will participate this time…after this matter, that Shen Cangsheng might breakthrough into the Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase,” said the Western Extreme Sovereign.
Shaking his head, Xi Qinghai spoke out in a soft voice, “Even if Shen Cangsheng breaks through, the threat he poses isn’t great. Although he’s quite talented, his cultivating time is much shorter than us…”
Speaking until here, there was a small pause in his words as he muttered to himself.
“That Freshman by the name of Mu Chen…truly is somewhat unfathomable.”
