Chapter 588: Splitting in two ways

Translator: Thyaeria  Editor: Thyaeria

The objective was certainly a problem for Mu Chen’s current team to aim for Numero Uno in the point rankings. After all, there was an enormous distance between their points compared to Ji Xuan

Mu Chen was well-aware that the huge gap between them wasn’t something that could be pulled closer through ordinary means.

Therefore, they couldn’t afford to use ordinary methods at this point in time.

It was a common knowledge to everyone that the Top 16 had the most points in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Generally speaking, the Top 16 teams represented the strongest teams in the tournament.

Thus, very few teams had the Top 16 as their targets. The majority of the participating teams would search for the teams that they could handle based on their strength to seize points, few would attempt to target the Top 16.

They knew that there was a certain degree of danger to it and thus, they did not aim for those top teams.

If Mu Chen wished to chase after Ji Xuan, he could only take the risk and hope for victory. As a result, he placed his targets on the Top 16 teams that were ranked after the 8, with Shen Cangsheng’s team aside.

Furthermore, Mu Chen no longer collaborated with Wen Qingxuan in this mission. He only took along Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Su Xuan and Xu Huang for it.

He did not even bring Luo Li along as he required her and Wen Qingxuan for another task, to cause trouble for Ji Xuan.

He did not need the both of them to defeat Ji Xuan. Based on their strength and the support of their teams, they could definitely cause some trouble for Ji Xuan. At least they would be able to greatly decrease their efficiency of gaining points.

Generally speaking, it wasn’t too wise for them to split up in this period of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. After all, they could be targeted by the other teams that had teamed up. However, Mu Chen wasn’t worried about this factor as he had great confidence with Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li. With the two of them uniting, they were a force that not even he could defeat.

Therefore, Mu Chen was more assured of them both compared to himself.

As for seizing points, that would have to depend on Mu Chen’s capability.

…

Violent Spiritual Energy swept out in the plains.

There were a dozen or more figures in the path of the Spiritual Energy. It was clearly a gang up as there were over twenty people in the surroundings. As for their target, it was naturally the team that was trapped inside their encirclement.

Despite the fact that they were at the disadvantage in terms of numbers, the shocking fact was that the group that ganged up on them was the one slowly losing.

“Ssssssssss!”

A sharp explosion of wind roared as a human figure mysteriously appeared. He held a black long spear in his hand, the spear tip was extremely sharp, like a hawk’s beak. Even space was torn apart as Spiritual Energy flowed.

That figure had powerful ripples of Spiritual Energy around him. He had simply charged into the encirclement, breaking the formation as light spears shone.

The group that was involved in the encirclement was in chaos. No matter how their Captain tried to yell, they weren’t able to unite their attacks.

That human figure relentlessly pursued them and in just a few minutes, the majority of the encircling team was wounded by him. Lastly, there was a painful howl as their Academy Plaque was seized.

“Tsk, tsk, did you think that you would be able to hunt us, the Demonic Vulture Spiritual Academy just because you found help? How stupid!”

That figure halted, revealing his skinny and shriveled body. It was a youth dressed in black robes with a pair of gloomy-looking eyes. He had an aquiline nose as he ruthlessly trampled on a person to the point that blood was spewed from his kick.

“Haha, Boss, we have obtained another 2,000 points.”

From the rear of that black-robed youth, four figures skimmed over. They looked at their Academy Plaques as they grinned, “If this goes on, we might be able to catch up to Mu Chen, who is at the 8th Rank.”

“Mu Chen? Hmph, that fellow has been in the limelight a lot, recently.” When that black-robed youth heard that name, he coldly snorted as he spoke with jealousy in his tone.

“Hehe, Boss, you are not weaker compared to him. It was just that we have not encountered him. Otherwise, we would witness for ourselves how powerful Mu Chen is.” Hearing the words of the black-robed figure, the four other teammates immediately gave praise.

Hearing the praise, the black-robed youth’s face became a little better. Just when he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly changed as he raised his head, looking at the hillside not far away, there were several figures that slowly appeared in flashes.

“Haha, since you guys want to be witnesses, why don’t we make it today? I, Mu Chen, am looking forward to it.” A clear and bright laughter resounded from the hillside. A youth with a slender and tall figure appeared in the sight of the Demonic Vulture Spiritual Academy’s team.

“Mu Chen?!”

Hearing that name, not only did the faces of the four members of the Demonic Vulture Spiritual Academy drastically change, even the mouth of the black-robed youth was slightly trembling.

“Mu Chen, we have always minded our own business. What are you trying to do by suddenly appear here?” The black-robed youth spoke with a heavy voice as his eyes flashed with alertness. Clearly, the person before him did not come with good intentions.

“I just want to borrow the Academy Plaque from Captain Xu Yao.” Mu Chen lightly smiled as he glared at the black-robed youth before him. The team before him wasn’t a nameless one.

Captain Xu Yao of the Demonic Vulture Spiritual Academy, was ranked 9th in the point rankings with 40,800 points.

The highest ranking that this team of the Demonic Vulture Spiritual Academy had reached their peak was Rank 6. However, as the competition became more and more intense later on, they were starting to be surpassed and fell to Rank 9 as of today.
