“Special training?”
Mu Chen stared in shock towards the Northern Sea Dragon. Spotting the arc of the latter’s mouth showing the shadow of a smile, a faint chill shook through his heart, while a reassuring feeling rose within him. Nevertheless, with a dry laugh, he replied, “That isn’t too good. Doesn’t our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy pay particular attention on being equal in treatment? If you give me preferential treatment, won’t it be too inappropriate?”
Hearing that, the Northern Sea Dragon rolled his eyes before snappily replying, “That’s because your strength is considered the weakest amongst your group. Due to the Eighth Ranked Convergent Spiritual Array outside of the Gate of the Northern Heavens, you’ll gain a pretty good result in your training and cultivation if you enter there. However, it’s hard for you to push yourself to the maximum degree. Therefore, enough of this convenience and acting obedient. If not for your outstanding performance on the Divine Spiritual Mountain, I’d be too snappily care about you.”
Hearing those words, everyone gave a smile. Patting Mu Chen’s shoulder, Shen Cangsheng spoke out, “Since Northern Sea Great Sir sees that much in you, you should obediently undergo the special training, Mu Chen. However, after coming out of the Gate of the Northern Heavens half a year from now, if you trail behind us by too much, don’t blame everyone for finding you to compare notes. I believe that they should have great anticipation in wanting to sending you flying with a kick.”
At this moment, Li Xuantong, He Yao, Zhao Qingshan and the rest had already cast their gazes over, with slight anticipation brimming within their eyes. This made Mu Chen tug at the corners of his mouth. From the looks of it, his progress this year had been too fast, causing these fellows to remember it in their hearts
On the other hand, Su Xuan covered her smile with her hand, a smile that was soul-stirring.
Giving a bitter laugh, Mu chen shook his head, ignoring them. Looking towards Luo Li, who was by his side, he spoke out with reluctance, “That means to say that I’ll not be able to see you for half a year?”
Luo Li’s lovable face immediately turned pinkish in embarrassment, with her gaze turning soft due to Mu Chen’s fond reluctance to leave. Holding his hand, she softly replied, “It’s nothing. It’s best that you properly train and cultivate for the next half a year. With me not around, you’ll not get distracted. However, you cannot slack off. If not, you’ll truly be tossed behind by us.”
Hearing her reply, Mu Chen could only laugh in helplessness, though he truly felt some slight pressure. The Gate of the Northern Heavens seemed to be extremely beneficial towards training and cultivation.
“Okay, everyone should go back first to properly prepare to enter the Gate of the Northern Heavens tomorrow. Once you guys enter, the next time you will come out will be half a year from now,” said Dean Tai Cang after waving his hand.
“Yes!”
Hearing that, everyone gave an immediate reply, before turning around and leaving.
Seeing the young men and women leaving from the hall, Dean Tai Cang exhaled in relief, before speaking out while sighing, “From the information we’ve gotten, amongst the five Great Academies, I’m afraid that the elite students of our academy is still at the last of the five. Next up, lets see what kind of improvement and progress these young fellows can achieve in the next half a year.”
“Northern Sea, are you certain that you don’t want Mu Chen to enter the Gate of the Northern Heavens?”
Nodding his head, the Northern Sea Dragon replied, “Although the Gate of the Northern Heavens contains vast and strong Spiritual Energy, it isn’t especially suited for Mu Chen. I’ll use the next half a year to let him undergo special training. It should be able to let him become stronger by a substantial margin.”
“Then, I’ll have to trouble you for this.”
With the confirmation from the Northern Sea Dragon, Dean Tai Cang could feel at ease. For the next half a year, the elite students of the various Great Spiritual Academies would advance by leaps and bounds in their strength. This was an extremely special period of time. In fact, it would also change the internal elite student rankings in the various Great Spiritual Academies. Any academy that didn’t follow this trend might be tossed far, far away by the rest.
He did not hope for Mu Chen to be dropped out from the team just like that.
The next day.
Before the giant hall, Dean Tai Cang looked towards Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Luo Li and the rest who had all arrived. Nodding his head, with a wave of his hand, he shot straight towards the deepest part of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Although Mu Chen wasn’t going to enter the Gate of the Northern Heavens to train and cultivate, he had also followed along. One reason was to send Luo Li off, with the second reason due to him being rather interested in the Gate of the Northern Heavens.
The group of people rapidly shot over the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, entering the heavily guarded, deepest depths within a dozen minutes. Present before them was a stretch of verdant mountains and forests. However, the entire region was enveloped with dense Spiritual Fog. The Spiritual Aura present in this region was thick and strong to the point of being inconceivable. The fog had even condensed to form Spiritual Liquid droplets, fluttering within the region, while radiating with magnificent splendor.
When the Spiritual Fog of the region had grown to its extreme limit, Dean Tai Cang waved his hands, signalling for everyone to stop. With a wave of his sleeve, a spatial fluctuation rippled out, causing gales to whirl up across the region. In the next instant, the space before him unexpectedly started to rapidly warp and distort, with rays of brilliance radiating out from it. Faintly, one could discern a gigantic glowing array, approximately ten thousand metres large, taking form within the space.
Space continued to warp and distort within the gigantic glowing array. Within the glowing array was an independent space, with vast and ocean-like Spiritual Energy present within it, gushing out wave after wave. All of the Spiritual Aura present within the entire region of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy originated from here, supporting the students in their training and cultivation.
This was the origin of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
“What a frightening Eighth Rank Convergent Spiritual Array.”
