The clamor had toned down at this moment as astonishment covered the faces of those Academy Alliance experts who had ferocious expressions earlier. They were looking at Nie Li in fear as some of them could not help movong backwards.

Mu Chen was not bothered with them as he looked indifferently towards the figure that was covered in fresh blood lying on the ground.

“You…”

Qin Feng struggled to get up with his body covered in blood. The Spiritual Energy ripples around him had also withered to the bottom. If it wasn’t for the protection of Spiritual Energy in their clash earlier on, he might have been killed by Mu Chen with a fist. But even so, his eyes were filled with fear at this moment.

He trembled as he looked towards Mu Chen. He could not understand where that fearsome power that exploded from Mu Chen came from. He should not be able to use his Spiritual Energy here…

Mu Chen looked at Qin Feng’s expression as he lightly smiled. Indeed, he was not able to use any Spiritual Energy, but the energy that he had used earlier was the energy of the black lightning… His body had been refined by the black lightning countless times. Therefore, there would be some remaining black lightning in his body. If it was before, it would not be easy to sense the black lightning under the surging of his Spiritual Energy. However, the instant his Spiritual Energy had quietened down, Mu Chen was able to sense the black lightning hidden in the depth of his muscles. Perhaps that power could not be considered as powerful, but it was sufficient here.

However, it needed some time for him to gather that energy. Therefore, Mu Chen allowed Qin Feng to attack him as he wished. What he was after was to fight for more time. However, he knew that he only had this one chance as Qin Feng’s speed was extremely fast, due to the fact that he could still use his Spiritual Energy. Mu Chen, on the other hand, could not compete with him purely with the speed of his physical body.

Therefore, not only did he have to gather his energy, he also had to grasp the exact moment that he could truly heavily injure Qin Feng.

All of this needed some kind of judgement and clearly, Qin Feng had been plotted by Mu Chen right from the start. When Qin Feng had become complacent, he clearly did not notice the cold sneer that was hidden deep within Mu Chen’s pupils.

It seemed like Qin Feng was not the one that laughed in the end.

“Next up, can you still retaliate?” Mu Chen smiled toward Qin Feng as he moved forward.

Qin Feng quickly moved back from the sight of him. When he moved, his shirt shattered. It was due to the gale that surrounded Mu Chen’s fist from before. When his shirt shattered into pieces, there was an object that emitted a faint light that fell off from his chest.

It was a palm-sized jade plate that was emitting a faint luster.

When Qin Feng saw the jade plate falling from his body, his expression changed as he quickly made a grab towards it.

Boom!

The feet of Mu Chen stomped on the ground as his figure shot forth. His expression turned exceptionally ferocious as he charged towards Qin Feng with killing intent, as if he had intended to slaughter the latter.

Qin Feng trembled as he was frightened from Mu Chen’s ferocious gaze. His eyes flickered as he gritted his teeth. He withdrew his extending hand as he utilised his remaining Spiritual Energy and turned into a blurry image as he escaped.

As Qin Feng escaped, the experts of the Academy Alliance no longer had any thoughts of fighting as they all respectively escaped.

In less then a minute, the bustling forest had become empty.

Mu Chen did not chase after Qin Feng as he had picked up the jade plate that had fallen onto the ground, and examined it. He had a feeling that this item was the reason why Qin Feng could still use Spiritual Energy in this region. Otherwise, Qin Feng’s face would not have changed so much.

This jade plate had the size of a palm with a smooth surface. Within the jade plate, there were light patterns spreading out, forming a complicated rune. Vaguely, he could also sense a peculiar ripple being emitted from it.

“What is that?”

Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan asked in curiosity as they walked over as they looked at the jade plate in Mu Chen’s hand.

Mu Chen stared at the complicated patterns within the jade plate. Perhaps an ordinary person could not see anything from the pattern, but Mu Chen could feel something familiar about it.

“There is a Spiritual Array carved in this jade plate.” Mu Chen slowly said after pondering for quite some time.

“Oh.” Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan slightly understood. The both of them were not Spiritual Array Masters, so they could not tell what Spiritual Array it was.

Just when Mu Chen was holding onto the jade plate, his expression suddenly changed.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan quickly asked from the sight of it.

Mu Chen’s expression was a little peculiar. Shortly, his body lightly trembled and a bizarre scene was shown before the two girls. A majestic black and white-mixed Spiritual Energy suddenly swept out from Mu Chen’s body.

“You’re able to use Spiritual Energy now?”

Mu Chen lightly smiled as he looked at the jade plate with a peculiar gaze as he softly said, “So the reason why Qin Feng was able to use Spiritual Energy was due to the Spiritual Array carved in the jade plate…”
