Chapter 573 (2/2)

After taking those points, Wen Qingxuan tossed the Academy Plaques towards Lin Zhou and the others, who hastily took over and distributed the remaining points.

After a moment of chaos, order was regained in the surrounding area, while the gazes shooting towards Mu Chen were filled with gratitude.

“Brother Mu Chen, there’s no words that can describe our thanks for this great kindness. All of us will remember your kindness,” said Lin Zhou as he slightly bent his waist. Without saying anymore roundabout words, he waved his hands, before turning around and leaving. After expressing their gratitude to Mu Chen once more, the other groups had also started to leave.

Seeing their leaving figures, a faint smile appeared on Mu Chen’s face.

“What about that fellow? From the looks of it, he seems to not have any good feelings towards you,” said Wen Qingxuan as she pointed her slender finger towards Lu Tian. At this moment, the latter appeared to have clenched his teeth, clearly possessing an extreme amount of hatred towards Mu Chen.

Upon hearing that, Mu Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed. A person of such strength as Lu Tian was considered somewhat of a threat towards him and his group. If he was to let the latter go so easily, upon regaining his stride, the latter would definitely cause some trouble for him and his group.

“Mu Chen, you’ve already taken away my points! What else do you want? Could it be that you want to kill me?”

“I won’t go as far as to kill you,” replied Mu Chen with a laugh. As his eyes sparkled, faint black light suddenly surfaced within his palm, with an extremely strange and mysterious power present within it.

This was the power of sealing that came from the page of the “Undying Blueprint” present within his body.

Mu Chen pressed his palm onto Lu Tian’s chest, causing the sealing power to rapidly drill within the latter’s body. In the next instant, Lu Tian discovered to his horror that the Spiritual Energy within his body had unexpectedly started to decline at an astonishing speed.

Within the short span of a few breaths, Lu Tian, who was already heavily injured, had his strength decrease to roughly the realm of Human Body Disaster, while the Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from his body were being supressed to the extremity.

“What-what have you done to me?!” Lu Tian was finally terrified. That’s because he could feel that the Spiritual Energy within his body appeared to have been suppressed, causing him to unexpectedly be unable to circulate it at will.

As he probed with his mind, he discovered black rays of brilliance sparkling within the meridians of his body. It was precisely those strange and mysterious black lights that had caused him to lose the absolute control he had over the Spiritual Energy within his body.

“I’ve only temporarily sealed your Spiritual Energy, that’s all.”

With Lu Tian’s current state, wanting to dispel the sealing force within him would take a month, at the very least. During that time frame, the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament would have already reached its conclusion.

Lu Tian’s face lost all colour, with his eyes brimming with unbridled anger and fury.

Nevertheless, Mu Chen did not continue caring about him as he calmly turned his body around. Looking towards Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan and the rest, he said, “Let’s go. We should find the next target now.”

As his voice rang out, his figure started to rise to the sky, with Luo Li and the rest following suit, leaving being an exceedingly miserable Lu Tian roaring in fury and anger…

The matter of Lu Tian’s group suddenly dropping out of the Top 16 had caused quite the big ripples within the vast central region. After all, within this place, Lu Tian was still considered to be a rather famous expert. Who would have expected that his defeat would happen so quickly? As people took in this set of news, all of them could not help sighing and lament. There were truly crouching tigers and hidden dragons within this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

On the top of a green mountain peak.

Looking at the Academy Plaque, faint wrinkles started to appear on Ji Xuan’s forehead.

“Lu Tian’s been defeated,” said Mu Feng, who was standing behind him. “Could it be that there are people wanting to deal with us?”

“There’re crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this place. With him being too rampant, Lu Tian’s defeat was inevitable.” On the contrary, Ji Xuan did not appear so overly concerned. After all, rising and falling with the current phase of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was all too common.

Hearing that, Mu Feng nodded his head, without adding anymore words.

Clearly, the two of them had not placed such a common matter so heavily within their hearts.

However, their current frame of mind only lasted for a day, before being abruptly broken. At that moment, even with Ji Xuan’s state of mind, his face had started to turn dark.

That’s because they had heard yet another shocking piece of news on the second day that was circulating around the vast central region.

It was from the Myriad Beasts Spiritual Academy. The group led by Wang Jiang that had obtained the inheritance of the Demonic Alligator Palace had similarly been defeated, with the person doing so being known as Mu Chen.

On the mountain peak, Mu Feng looked towards the dark-faced Ji Xuan. At this moment, they could clearly feel the feeling of being aimed at. That Mu Chen had already started to launch a challenge towards Ji Xuan.
