Chapter 589: The price to pay for rapidly rising in the ranks

Translator: Thyaeria  Editor: Thyaeria

In just one day, there was a drastic change to the Top 16 in the point rankings. Clearly, it had also caused a storm of commotion in this vast central region.

They realized that aside from one team of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy that was after Rank 8, the rest of those that were in the Top 16 after Rank 8 were all kicked out of the point rankings.

Those replacing them were powerful teams that had newly appeared.

If it was just one or two teams, the changes might not attract that much attention. After all, the battle for points right now in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was simply too intense, even those powerful teams could be easily dragged down.

However, when the changes were all at the same time, there would, without a doubt, be astonishments. Especially when they saw the team that was on Rank 8 soaring on the point rankings at a terrifying speed. In the end, that team managed to surpass the Rank 3, Wu Ling. When that team was able to stand firmly on Rank 3, the exclamation of astonishment became heavier.

At this point of time, even a retard could tell why those powerful teams were kicked out…

The cause of this was the one that recently had his name spreading throughout the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, Mu Chen!

“That fella is abnormal. How could he defeat so many powerful teams in one day? Was he not afraid that he would meet with unexpected failure?”

The entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was in a clamor. It was out of their imagination that Mu Chen would be insane to such an extent, to the point that he would place his targets onto those powerful teams.

In addition, the terrifying fact was that he succeeded!

In just one day, Mu Chen had defeated seven teams that had experts of Second Grade Spirit Disaster in them!

The achievement made many others dumbstruck as his actions were a little insane. Was Mu Chen not afraid that those powerful teams would put up a life-and-death struggle that would result in his defeat?

In this current situation, the instant Mu Chen was gravely injured, there would be many powerful teams aiming at him… precisely so, that was the reason why those teams in the Top 8 did not lay their hands on those teams as they were afraid as well.

They did not dare to try it, despite knowing that it was an efficient way of obtaining points.

However, no one had expected that the method which they dared not to try was attempted by Mu Chen and he succeeded.

…

At a lonely peak.

Wu Ling was looking at the team that had surpassed him on the Academy Plaque as he helplessly cast his lips aside.

“What is Mu Chen trying to do? Why did he suddenly go crazy, is he trying to snatch the Numero Uno from Ji Xuan?” Wu Yingying, who was behind Wu Ling said in doubt.

“That should be his objective.”

Wu Ling smiled, “Didn’t you notice that the efficiency rate of Ji Xuan’s team slowed down? I heard that they are under pressure at this moment. Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li joined hands to obstruct Ji Xuan. Although it is a little problematic for them to get rid of Ji Xuan with their strength, there is nothing Ji Xuan can do if the two of them are just intending to cause trouble for him. Haha, they are trying to give Mu Chen time.”

“The grudges between those two has been fully unveiled. In the Spiritual Road, Ji Xuan schemed against Mu Chen once and this time, Mu Chen is returning the favour.”

“However, Mu Chen must have a huge amount of exhaustion as well to challenge so many powerful teams in a day. If he is injured, the other powerful teams would definitely be eyeing him.” Wu Yingying said worriedly.

She was well-aware that no matter how powerful Mu Chen was, there would definitely be a considerable amount of exhaustion for him to challenge so many powerful teams. Furthermore, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan weren’t by his side at the moment. Thus, he was probably being targeted by many teams.

Those powerful teams would definitely not allow Mu Chen to recover his strength. Therefore, this period of time was the most dangerous for their team.

“Right now, the difference between Ji Xuan and Mu Chen’s points is only around 20,000.” Wu Yingying stared at the Academy Plaque. Ji Xuan still held the Numero Uno with over 130,000 points, whereas Wen Qingxuan occupied the second with 110,000 points. Mu Chen on the other hand, was just a little lower compared to her.

In just one day, Mu Chen managed to jump from Rank 8 to 3, pulling the enormous distance between him and Ji Xuan closer.

“His strategy half-succeeded. Right now, he must be thinking about how to keep his points under his huge amount of exhaustion.”

Wu Ling said with a faint tone, “Perhaps Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li are rushing over to protect Mu Chen right now to intimidate the other teams that are eyeing him. However, Ji Xuan will definitely not allow them to successfully leave.”

Wu Yingying nodded her head as well. Mu Chen’s current state might be the worst considering that the battles he had gone through.

“Hmm?”
