”Brother Wu Ling, Brother Wen.”

Mu Chen stared at the decent-looking youths before him as he smiled as he cupped his hands towards Wu Ling as well as Wen Busheng next to him. “I have to thank the both of you this time.”

The formation of the two sides was important in this fight with Ji Xuan. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had managed to pull Wu Ling and Wen Busheng to his side, the one that would be fighting today would not have been Ji Xuan alone, but his entire alliance.

The eyes of that scheming fellow were extremely vicious. The instant he felt that he could deal with Mu Chen if all of them had joined hands together, he would definitely not hesitate.

However, the appearance of Wu Ling and Wen Busheng had strengthened the formation of Mu Chen’s party. This made Ji Xuan’s alliance know that even if all of them had attacked, there wouldn’t be any benefits today. Thus, those fellows chose to watch from the side as they did not see any advantages.

When Wu Ling heard Mu Chen’s words, he smiled, “Brother Mu is being too polite. If it wasn’t for Yingying adding fuel to the fire, I would also hesitate a little.”

Mu Chen was a little flabbergasted as he looked at Wu Yingying. Clearly, he never thought that this girl, who had prejudice of him, would choose to help him.

When Wu Yingying saw his gaze, she snorted in response.

“Thanks.” Mu Chen sincerely thanked her.

Wu Yingying cast her lips aside. Just when she wanted to mock him out of habit, a smear of redness involuntarily flushed across her face when she saw the gentle smile on Mu Chen’s face as she swallowed her words and changed them, “That Ji Xuan isn’t a good guy as well. But if we allow him to carry on pulling people to his side, it will not be advantageous to us.”

“I was thinking for my Martial Spiritual Academy, I was not trying to help a lecher like you.” Wu Yingying snorted as she pridefully raised her chin.

Mu Chen coughed as he was a little embarrassed by the name that Wu Yingying was calling him, especially when Wu Ling’s suspicious gaze was looking at his direction.

Wu Yingying blushed, even more, when she realized her words as she turned her head away in guilt, not daring to look at her own brother.

“We did nothing to help. Brother Mu is truly hiding deep ability, truly worthy of being the Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road.” Wen Busheng laughed as he looked at Mu Chen with interest.

“Brother Wen is not simple as well.” Mu Chen smiled in response as he swept his gaze on Wen Busheng. Thereafter, his gaze stopped at the latter’s fair right hand. That hand was exceptionally perfect as it was glittering like a gem, flickering with faint luster. Mu Chen could sense dangerous ripples from his right hand.

“I’m just lucky.” Wen Busheng smiled as he covered his right hand with his sleeve and did not explain much. Mu Chen also wasn’t bothered by it as everyone had their own secrets.

“Perhaps the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament will enter the finale in the remaining time left.” Wu Ling looked at Mu Chen as he said, “In this period of time, perhaps there might be countless powerful teams targeting the Top 8 in the rankings. We can’t be certain that Ji Xuan doesn’t have any plots in his retreat this time. Thus, I feel that we can work closer together in the remaining time left.”

Wen Busheng nodded his head in agreement. Their reveal this time had angered Ji Xuan. If Ji Xuan plans to deal with them, it would definitely be troublesome for them.

Although they weren’t any pushovers, they did not wish to confront with the monstrous Ji Xuan at this timing.

Mu Chen nodded his head as well, it was always better to have a friend.

Seeing as no one had any disagreements, Wu Ling smiled as he took out three dark-red jade pendants with light circulating on their surfaces. “This is the Messaging Jade that I have obtained from a ruin. If anyone of you encounters trouble, all you have to do is activate it and the two other jade pendants will be able to sense it.”

“Furthermore, when we are ready, we can also use it as a signal to burn the Academy Plaques to start the finals.”

To start the finals, half of the Top 16 teams have to burn their Academy Plaques. The moment this requirement is fulfilled, the Top 8 teams would then enter the finals.

Mu Chen took a glance at Wen Qingxuan, who was behind him, as the two of them nodded their heads, before taking a jade pendant from Wu Ling, while Wen Busheng took the other.

“Haha, today’s event can be considered an end. We no longer have any reasons to stay here.”

Seeing as the agreement was made, Wu Ling casually laughed as he made a little chat before bidding his farewell, leading Wu Yingying, whose face was still a little red, as they left.

After Wu Ling had left, Wen Busheng also bid farewell as he left.
