Chapter 574 (2/2)
Among the three of them, other than him, the other two beautiful and soul-stirring girls were also not ordinary people. Within the Spiritual Road, Luo Li forced Ji Xuan to the point of him losing the chance of obtaining the Spiritual Crown, while Wen Qingxuan had obtained it in one sweep, suppressing the outstanding geniuses present there with her skills.
Among the two girls, the fame and reputation of Wen Qingxuan wasn’t inferior to Ji Xuan, with her also being the only person in many people’s eyes that could contend with Ji Xuan for the number one spot. As for Luo Li, she was the one who had the lowest profile. Even Mu Chen was not clear exactly how much power this future Empress of the Luo God Clan was concealing. Every single time he had probed her out, the young girl would only give a smile in response without answering, causing Mu Chen to feel itchy all over about it.
With these two heavyweight figures beside him, no matter how prideful or confident Ji Xuan was, he would not dare to carelessly take action.
Furthermore, there were also other reasons behind his decision to not attack them. That’s because if Ji Xuan really wanted to launch an all-out battle with Mu Chen and his group, it would definitely result in a heaven-shaking battle. At that time, regardless of who would win or lose in the end, both parties would get seriously hurt and injured.
At this moment in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, there were other heavyweight existences within other groups. To Ji Xuan, those groups had similarly possessed extreme threat to him.
Perhaps, in ordinary circumstances, those few heavyweight groups would not dare to recklessly confront Ji Xuan in battle. However, once he had crossed hands with Mu Chen and suffer serious injuries as a result, those heavyweight groups might be the first to deal with him, who was the opponent with the greatest threat to them.
It was precisely due to such a reason that caused Ji Xuan to not recklessly take action in response to Mu Chen purposefully targeting him, despite knowing that the latter had removed his claws being Lu Tian and Wang Jiang completely away.
This fellow clearly possessed a rather strong level of patience and fortitude.
Hearing that, Xu Huang and the other two quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Not requiring to faces the strongest group in the current Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was something worth relaxing a bit for them.
“You guys are celebrating too early.”
Seeing that, Mu Chen gave a faint smile as he spoke out. Crossing his fingers gently, he continued speaking. “With my understanding of Ji Xuan, he would not completely endure this matter without doing anything. As of now, the reason why he doesn’t make any action is due to him not having absolute assurance.”
“Ji Xuan’s cautious and prudent, and won’t recklessly take action. Once he takes action, it would definitely a lightning-quick method.”
“Therefore…” Mu Chen raised his head and looked into the distance. As chilling intent surfaced within his black pupils, he continued speaking, “The current tranquility is just the prelude of the storm. Once Ji Xuan takes action, what comes next… would be the true assault of the storm.”
Hearing Mu Chen’s words, the faces of Xu Huang and the other two turned sluggish. Although Mu Chen sounded calm and neutral, they were still able to hear the chilling intent hidden beneath it.
“Cough… let’s not care about him. In any case, we’ve you three heavyweights. If he really takes action, we aren’t afraid of him.”
Xu Huang gave a dry cough, before looking at his Academy Plaque. With a smile, he said, “I never would have imagined that Shen Cangsheng and the others would also be able to rush up into the rankings. Those fellows truly are not simple, too.”
Hearing that, Mu Chen smiled and nodded his head. Looking at the group at the 16th place, which was now occupied by Shen Cangsheng’s group, this clearly showed that their strength had progressed by leaps and bounds compared to before. From the looks of it, they had similarly obtained quite a huge benefit from this Shattered Continent. This caused Mu Chen to feel quite relieved and gratified.
“It truly has been a long time since we’ve seen them. I don’t know how they are doing right now,” said Mu Chen with a faint smile. He also wanted to see and meet up with Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Su Xuan and the others again.
“Why not we go and find them?” suggested Xu Huang.
Hearing that, Mu Chen shook his head and replied. “As of now, we’ve already brought the fight to Ji Xuan. If Shen Cangsheng and the others are to move together with us, we’d bring trouble for them.”
“Oh?”
Suddenly, Luo Li cried out, her beautiful eyes slightly contracting as she pointed towards the 1st place on the point rankings, before saying in a deep tone, “Ji Xuan’s position is changing.”
Hearing that, Mu Chen and the others instantly looked over. Indeed, Ji Xuan’s location was changing extremely quickly. Clearly, they were currently moving at an extremely quick pace.
“Could they be rushing towards us?” asked Luo Li in astonishment.
Hearing that, faint wrinkles appeared on Mu Chen’s forehead as he stared at Ji Xuan’s changing location. After an instant, his eyes furiously contracted, while chilling intent gushed from the depths his black pupils.
“He’s not rushing towards us…”
Mu Chen’s handsome face appeared exceedingly dark at this instant, with his hands abruptly, tightly clenched, while the killing intent within his eyes soaring.
“He’s planning on taking action towards Shen Cangsheng and the others!”
Hearing those words, the faces of Xu Huang and the others instantly contorted.
