Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
As Mu Chen and his group neared the combat zone, they slowly came to a stop. Looking towards the youth whose face was contorted upon their appearance, a smile brimming with chilling intent surfaced on Mu Chen’s face as she said, “Qiu Beihai, we finally meet again.”
The dark-faced Qiu Beihai stared with daggers drawn towards Mu Chen and Luo Li. After quite a while, he spoke out with a dark tone. “Mu Chen, I truly never imagined that you, who had been kicked out halfway in the Spiritual Road, would actually still be able to enter one of the five Great Academies. You truly are formidable.”
“However…”
All of a sudden, a cold sneer rose from the corner of Qiu Beihai’s mouth as he looked with an amused fashion at Mu Chen as he continued speaking, “It seems that you’ve fallen behind. Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase, huh. Haha! You still dare to enter the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament with that level of strength? You’re not afraid that your renowned title of the Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road would bring an overflowing amount of great disasters for you?”
“As of now, Ji Xuan has already far surpassed you. If you are to bump into him, hehe…”
After a previous bout of being overwhelmed with shock, Qiu Beihai clearly noticed Mu Chen’s current level of strength, causing that fear and shock to gradually dissipate away. What replaced it was a feeling of happiness. Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase? Ha Ha! As of now, the Blood Calamity that had caused him to feel incredibly threatened in the Spiritual Road had fallen to such a degree.
A faint frosty intent radiated from Luo Li’s beautiful eyes as she spoke out, “Qiu Beihai, looks like you don’t want to keep your remaining finger, right?”
Hearing her words, Qiu Beihai’s face instantly contorted as he grounded and clenched his teeth towards Luo Li, his hands being tightly clenched. Both of his hands had one finger missing, being chopped of by her during the Spiritual Road when he had brought along people to surround her. Ever since then, this had always been the pain in his heart. However, his possessed some dread and fear towards the latter. From his senses, he could tell that the current Luo Li had clearly passed her Human Body Disaster, making her cultivation not one bit weaker than him.
Suppressing the anger and fury in his heart, Qiu Beihai gave a sneer before replying. “I’ve heard that your Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy has only sent two groups this time around? Haha! Looks like the title of being one of the five Great Academies will be stripped of your Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy after this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. I can’t be bothered to deal with you guys. Bring your people and scram off. Mu Chen, if I were you, I’d be smart enough to find a place and hide so as to not bump into Ji Xuan. If not, you’ll be totally smashed up and beaten by him. At this moment, your great title of being the Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road has been completely thrown into oblivion.”
“What did you say?!” Upon hearing his words, the faces of Xu Huang and the other two instantly contorted as they furiously roared out in reply.
“Don’t you understand what I’ve just said?”
With a sneer, Qiu Beihai waved his hands, causing his four group members to converge around him. Of the four, one of them slowly walked forward, standing beside the former as he shot a ridiculing gaze towards Mu Chen’s group.
“You’re only a group with one Human Body Disaster member in it. Haha. Indeed, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s unable to make the cut anymore.” The youth that appeared to be older than Qiu Beihai, crossed his arms in front of his chest as he let of a mocking laugh. In the next instant, boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated from his body. From the looks of it, his strength appeared to be on the same level as Qiu Beihai, having passed his Human Body Disaster as well.
In their group, there were two people that had passed their Human Body Disaster, with the other three being of Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. From their outward appearance, their line-up seemed to be stronger than that of Mu Chen’s group.
Furthermore, they still had an alliance with three other groups. Although the three other groups weren’t as strong as them, every single one of them possessed a person who had passed their Human Body Disaster. Although they might split up their forces to deal with the group from the Desolation Spiritual Academy, their remaining forces would absolutely deal with and cause the group from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to lose all temper at all.
None of them believed that this group from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would dare to have the heart to take any action under the suppression of their line-up.
At the back, the group from the Desolation Spiritual Academy being surrounded by the three groups could also feel the confrontation occurring over there. In the next moment, one of the groups peeled away, with their Captain, sizing up Mu Chen’s group with a smile on his face that brimmed with provocation. Turning his gaze to Luo Li, his eyes started to wander around her alluring body as he whistled with a grin, before speaking out, “I truly never imagined that there would be such a beautiful girl in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. I truly can’t find such quality in our Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy.”
“Haha. Brother Beihai, do you still need help?” asked the youth as he looked towards Qiu Beihai with a grin. At the same time, Spiritual Energy fluctuations started to perfuse from his body. Unexpectedly, he was also an expert that had passed his Human Body Disaster.
The two teams stood right before Mu Chen’s group, staring covetously at them like two ferocious tigers.
Seeing this, the faces of Xu Huang and the other two slightly changed. If it was a one-on-one, they weren’t afraid to face off against a group like the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy, However, with the appearance of the group from the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy, such a line-up was sufficient to change the entire situation.
“It’s just a slight trouble,” replied Qiu Beihai with a smile, before looking towards Mu Chen in satisfaction. This was an opponent that had once made him feel immense pressure. However, at this very moment, thinking back about the times where he was being totally suppressed, he could not help feeling true pity for the latter.
“Mu Chen, I advise you to tactfully leave. I don’t have the heart to deal with you now. Don’t ask for trouble,” said Qiu Beihai in an indifferent tone as he waved his hands.
Seeing the appearance of Qiu Beihai waving his hands in indifference, Mu Chen could not help bursting into laughter. Tilting his head towards Luo Li, he asked her with a smile. “How should we split?”
“Leave to group from the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy to me,” replied Luo Li with a sweet smile.
“The whole group?” Hearing her reply, Mu Chen’s eyebrows were faintly raised.
“You don’t believe me?” Luo Li shot a glance at Mu Chen. Waving the Luo Shen Sword in her hand, she sweetly smiled while saying, “If we’re to cross hands, you might not even be able to win against me.”
Hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled and nodded his head, saying, “Leave the two Human Body Disaster fellows from the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy to me. As for the other three people, deal with them, Xu Huang, Fengyang and Qingshan. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
