Chapter 634 (2/2)

“Since all of you have made your choices, let us, the Five Great Academies, announce officially that the champion for this Spiritual Academy Competition is…

“Mu Chen from the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy!”

When Chief Tang Qiu’s graceful voice rang out, there was an instant of silence. Then, thunderous cheers broke out everywhere.

Even the space seemed to vibrate.

Apart from some disappointed students from the Saint Spiritual Academy, most of the students from the other spiritual academies gave out overwhelming applause and cheers. Many gazes filled with respect were directed at the slender figure on the battle stage.

Although the young man was not from the same spiritual academy as they were, the power he had displayed earlier really made them have heartfelt admiration.

He was not only the brightest person in this Spiritual Academy Competition, but probably the best in hundreds of years.

“Brother Mu is the best!”

Among the cheers all over the sky, the most excited ones obviously came from the students from the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. Their faces were bloated with joy and their looks were full of enthusiasm as their cheers filled the place.

This was the best result that the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy had obtained in the Spiritual Academy Competition since its establishment.

At the gathering point of the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy, Tang Qian’Er’s eyes glazed as she stared at the figure glittering in the cheers. Compared to three years ago, he was becoming brighter by the day and was still gradually releasing his amazing potential.

Seeing that he was becoming more famous, she sincerely felt happy for him. However, as she looked at the three similarly bright, pretty figures standing beside him, her smart eyes dimmed uncontrollably and she bit her lips lightly.

The young man in front of her was no longer that timid young boy who would grab her hands tightly and follow her shouting, “Sister Qian’Er.” In the future, he would only become brighter and one day, he might even become famous in the whole of the Great Thousand World. Towards this, she did not at all feel ridiculous or arrogant…

Because she believed in him.

“Mu Chen, carry on the good work. You are becoming more and more amazing now. If Uncle Mu knows about this, he will definitely be overjoyed. You are the pride of the Northern Spiritual Realm.” Clenching her little fist, a light, touching smile appeared on Tang Qian’Er’s charming cheeks.

…

Standing on the battle stage and hearing the cheers in the sky, Mu Chen finally relaxed from his previous nervousness. The moment he started loosening up, his body trembled.

Beside him, three arms extended simultaneously, wanting to support his body. But when they saw each other doing so, their arms immediately stopped.

Mu Chen did not fall down. It was only that his face was somewhat pale. Obviously, he had depleted a lot of energy in the previous battle.

Glancing at Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, the Nine Netherworld Bird did not start a conversation. Instead, she moved her body and turned into a beam, dashing into Mu Chen’s body.

“Congratulations, champion,” Wen Qingxuan said, grinning.

Mu Chen allowed himself a wry smile but did not even have the strength to reply to her tease.

Looking at Mu Chen’s status, Luo Li felt rather distressed. Hesitating for a moment, she still bravely extended her hand and grabbed his palm gently. The warm feeling instantly made Mu Chen slightly more energetic. He grabbed Luo Li’s hand instead and held it tightly, not willing to let go.

“Oh! Oh!”

At the gathering point of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, many students saw the scene and gave out a jealous roar. Even their eyes were filled with envy.

Luo Lu’s face blushed lightly. The shy look on her lovely face even made the sky look more beautiful.

Under the countless wolf-like stares, Luo Li plucked up her courage, looked at Mu Chen and said softly, “You did it. Congratulations.”

In order to reach this day, maybe he had been putting in his very best since the moment he left the Spiritual Road. Outsiders could only see him soaring in the sky but not the price that he had to pay for it, the price that made her feel distressed.

Gazing into the girl’s glass-like, clear eyes, Mu Chen tightened the grip on her hand. He lifted his head and sunlight shone onto the young man’s handsome face.

“Luo Li…”

“Huh?”

“Believe me… One day, I will become the strongest in the world. For you, I will turn the world over.”

On the girl’s elegant face, an extremely gentle smile appeared. She nodded lightly and her hand also held on to Mu Chen’s tightly.

“I will wait for you.”
