Rumble. rumble.

This was a deep valley, with a waterfall descended from the giant peak above akin to a heavenly dragon. The loud rumbling sounds ringing from it caused the entire valley to shudder and vibrate.

Bringing along a frightening amount of energy as it rushed downward, the waterfall travelled a certain distance before suddenly arching up. At this location, the waterfall split, transforming into multiple gigantic streams of water rushing down, with some giant rocks below instantly shattering into pieces upon contact with them.

At the place where the waterfall had arched, one could faintly discern the dim radiance of Spiritual Energy. If one was to take a closer look, one would be able to see what appeared to be a figure sitting within the waterfall.

Sitting quietly within, regardless of how frightening the energy contained within the water current smashing against his body, the figure did not even move a single inch.

He quietly sat there, continuing for approximately an hour before finally slowly opening his eyes. Dazzling rays of brilliance surfaced from his eyes, before waves of extremely powerful Spiritual Energy swept out. At this moment, the waterfall above him had completely dissipated away, only resuming after quite a while later.

Standing up, the figure slowly strode forward, walking towards the waterfall. Spiritual light started to perfuse from his body, causing his skin to sparkle with a gem-like luster, appearing to be made out of jade.

As the water current weighing thousands and thousands of pounds came gushing down, it did not cause even the slightest bit of obstruction to him. As he slowly strode past it, the waterfall was unexpectedly unable to leave even a trace of water on his body.

Floating out of the waterfall, with a move of his body, he descended on the craggy rock beside the waterfall.

Dressed in white robes, the figure’s black hair fluttered away, revealing a face that was as handsome as the dazzling sun above. At this moment, a gentle smile hung at the corner of his mouth, causing him to appear cultured and refined. Such an aura had an absolutely lethal level of attraction to some girls.

An insignia of an academy dazzled on his chest, with holy light gloriously shining from it. That was precisely the insignia of the Saint Spiritual Academy.

As for him, he was precisely Ji Xuan.

Whoosh.

Faint whooshing sounds rang out from the side, before a figure appeared right before Ji Xuan. The figure that was revealed was also an exceedingly handsome youth, who sent a smile towards Ji Xuan, before saying, “Xiao Huang’s group have dropped out from the Top 16, while Wen Qingxuan’s group has risen from 3rd to 2nd place.”

“Looks like they’ve been defeated,” replied Ji Xuan, with not much surprise within his eyes.

“Mu Feng, did Mu Chen appear?”

The youth by the name of Mu Feng nodded his head. At this moment, a somewhat astonished look appeared within his eyes as he replied, “According to the news that we’ve received, Mu Chen appeared. Mo Xiu and the other two had collaborated, but were defeated by a single move from him. Tsk, tsk. That fellow’s somewhat formidable, to actually achieve such a feat.”

“Defeating them with a single move, huh.” Ji Xuan’s gaze still remained indifferent as he said, “If it’s him, such a feat isn’t sufficient to warrant any surprise. However, I never expected that he would actually be able to catch up so quickly. I thought that the year of delay from the Spiritual Road would put quite a stop in his cultivation speed.”

“That’s right. Why did the points of Mo Xiu and the other two not drop?” Ji Xuan suddenly asked. He had also paid attention to this, as the rankings of Mo Xiu and the other two were still present at the bottom end of the Top 16.

“Mu Chen didn’t take action against them,and had even let them off. On the other hand, he was not one bit courteous towards Xiao Huang and the Multi-Academy Alliance, and immediately told them to leave an arm behind if they didn’t hand over the points,” replied Mu Feng.

“Merciful on one hand while showing his might on the other,” said Ji Xuan as he slightly narrowed his eyes. “Truly befitting of Mu Chen, such a shrewd move. I’ve originally wanted him to become the common enemy of the masses. I never expected that he would actually not get taken in by this.”

Mu Feng understood in a flash, before saying, “That’s why you knew that Mo Xiu and the other two would most likely fail, but still let them go! So it turns out that you’re trying to dig a pit for Mu Chen to fall in. However, its a pity. That brat’s not any other ordinary person.”

“If he was any ordinary person, there’s no need for me to pay so much care about him,” replied Ji Xuan with a faint smile. “There isn’t much friendly relations between us and Mo Xiu, Qiu Ning and Xiu San. They’ve merely owed us a favor due to our initial plan. Now that this matter has came to an end, added with the favor they now owe Mu Chen, they would absolutely not come close to us again.”

“They’re just a few minor characters. Do they really think that they would be able stabilise their positions at the bottom end of the Top 16 just by relying on themselves? God-knows how many groups possess comparable strength to them that are standing right by behind them. And this isn’t including those powerful groups that are stronger than them. After losing our protection, they won’t be able to hold on to their places for long,” said Mu Feng with a smile.

“What are you planning to do next? From the looks of it, Mu Chen should be moving together with Wen Qingxuan. That girl, Wen Qingxuan, isn’t exactly simple. With them collaborating, I’m afraid that it would cause some trouble for us,” said Mu Feng with a frown.

Hearing that, Ji Xuan slightly nodded his head. Indeed, Wen Qingxuan wasn’t just another ordinary character. Even he had to admit this fact.

“There’s no need to get prematurely worried. Don’t get misguided due to worrying about them.” A glint wandered within Ji Xuan’s eyes, before replying with a faint smile. “Initially, during the Spiritual Road, I’ve caused Mu Chen to get expelled from there. This time, I’ll let him truly understand exactly who the genuine victor is.”

Hearing that, Mu Feng nodded his head. After following Ji Xuan all the way till here, he was extremely clear exactly how much frightening strength the person before him possessed. Although he had yet to meet Mu Chen, he did not believe one single bit that there would truly be anyone present within this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that could triumph over Ji Xuan.

“That’s right.” Ji Xuan paused for a bit. Looking towards Mu Feng, he could see the rays of indescribable emotion present within the latter’s eyes. After quite a while later, he said, “There’s a girl by the name of Luo Li by Mu Chen’s side, right?”

Hearing that question, Mu Feng nodded his head. At this moment, he was also shooting a look towards Ji Xuan, as he could sense a sliver of a peculiar expression present within the latter’s voice that was extremely rarely seen from him.
