Chapter 395 (2/2)
“Follow along with me, if not, your speed won’t be adequate,” said Ling Xi as she walked towards Mu Chen and Luo Li, while a sweet smile appeared on her face. Opening her palm, a glowing halo akin to a compass shot out from within her sleeve, before floating in mid-air.
“I’ll have to burden Elder Ling, then,” replied Luo Li with a gentle nod.
“If you don’t mind, you can call me as Elder Sister Ling Xi like Mu Chen. In the future, if I were to bump into Aunt Ling, I might even be able to talk to her about you,” said Ling Xi as her beautiful eyes started to gently size up Luo Li. Even with her judgemental gaze, she was unable to see the slightest bit of flaw from the body of the young girl in front of her. What a girl, no wonder why Mu Chen is smitten by her.
Faint shades of pink surfaced on Luo Li’s lovable face upon hearing Ling Xi’s words. She had already heard of some matters about the latter, and naturally knew that the Aunt Jing she had mentioned should be Mu Chen’s mother.
“Elder Sister Ling Xi,” replied Luo Li with a faint smile. Although she didn’t like other people getting too close to her, she was able to feel the protective feelings Ling Xi had for Mu Chen. Therefore, she wasn’t too stingy to reject the favorable impression she had on the latter.
With a smile on her face, Ling Xi grasped onto Luo Li’s little hand, before shooting towards the top of the glowing compass-like halo. Seeing this, Mu Chen hastily followed on.
As they appeared in the air, countless students were attentively looking at them from the far surroundings. Clearly, everyone knew that today’s the day that Mu Chen would leave the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and head towards the Northern Heavens Continent, representing their spiritual academy in the most prestigious occasion within the younger generation in this continent.
From a mountain peak, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had shot into the air, before sending a smile towards Mu Chen as they said, “Mu Chen, this time, we’ve to rely on you to uphold the face of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.”
Solemnly nodding his head, Mu Chen replied, “Rest assured. Regardless of whom, I won’t easily give up fighting.”
Hearing that, both Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong smiled. Once the most outstanding students of the academy, this matter should be left to them to handle. However, as a matter of fact, this current situation was somewhat cruel to them. Due to their age and the duration that they’ve trained and cultivated, some disparity was present between them and the younger generation within the Northern Heavens Continent. Therefore, they had no choice but to hand over this responsibility and place it on Mu Chen’s shoulders. Although complicated emotions were still present within their hearts, both of them had heartfelt hopes for Mu Chen to create another miracle at the Divine Spiritual Mountain.
After all, being members of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, all of them shared the same honor and glory, and any losses, as one body.
Sending a smile towards Mu Chen, Dean Tai Cang said, “Just try your best, when the time comes. There will be a live broadcast of this occasion within the academy. At that time, everyone will be able to see your performance, as well as cheer and support you.”
After slightly gawking, Mu Chen returned a helpless smile. This time, he truly felt the pressure on his shoulders. At that time, every single move and choice he made would be seen by everyone within the academy. Looks like I’ll have to do my best, if not it’ll truly be bad for me if I appear miserable compared to everyone there.
“Let’s go.”
With a wave of his sleeve, Dean Tai Cang didn’t continue talking. In the next moment, boundless Spiritual Energy gushed out from the air before them, while the space itself started to pull and distort, forming a gigantic spatial pathway. Taking the lead, Dean Tai Cang strode forward, walking straight into the spatial vortex.
As he did so, Mu Chen and the rest of the group closely followed behind. As the space continued to distort, it completely devoured their figures, before dissipating away. While the air regained normalcy once again, those figures had already disappeared from view.
“I don’t know exactly what results Mu Chen will be able to achieve in this Divine Spiritual Mountain.”
Looking at the place where Mu Chen and the group had disappeared in, Shen Cangsheng gave a smile, before saying, “I’ve heard that there might be people within the elites of the Northern Heavens Continent that have reached the ‘Three Sovereign Disasters’…”
Nodding his head, Li Xuantong muttered, “The Three Sovereign Disasters, huh… That truly is very troublesome.”
People who possessed that kind of strength were already clawing at the path of a Sovereign, and were much, much stronger than a Heavenly Completion Stage.
“However, I don’t think that this fella’s gonna lose.” A smile suddenly appeared on Li Xuantong’s face as he said, “After all, in just this year alone, I’ve already grown numb to the matters that he had caused. The fellow that had to risk his all just to block three moves from me has already arrived at a realm that even I’m unable to reach now.”
Hearing those words, Shen Cangsheng gave a smile, before raising his head to look at the vast and expansive sky above, while quietly muttering some words within his heart.
Mu Chen, everyone from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy will be watching you this time! Let us see exactly how far you’ll go!
When you return, the title of ‘Overlord of the Heavenly Rankings’, will truly be yours.
