The next day, when the blazing sun shone upon the Northern Spiritual City, there were signs of boiling within the Northern Spiritual Academy.
The Northern Spiritual Academy was divided into the East and West Branch. There was a rather intense competition between the two branches. However, it must be said that anything can only grow with competition. Therefore, there were many outstanding students within the Northern Spiritual Academy in the past two years.
Among the competition between the two academies, the Academy Competition that was held once every few months was the most intense. Many of the rankings within the academies were also determined by this Academy Competition. The temperament of a youngster was ultimately a little competitive. Moreover, in front of the numerous beautiful and charming seniors and juniors, everyone wanted to shine a little. Therefore, in order to obtain a good result in the Academy Competition, many students put in a great amount of effort.
In the Western District of the Northern Spiritual Academy, there was a vast field. The field was similar to a wrestling ring. There were many stages distributed within the field. Around the stages, there were layers of stone seats. Currently, these seats were filled with a sea of people.
Various conversations and whispers gathered together. Among them, there was the bell-like laughter of young girls. It caused the air to be filled with youthfulness and vitality.
In the huge field, there were many people. However, they were clearly divided into two groups. They were the students of the East Branch and the West Branch. Due to the competition, both sides would occasionally provoke each other. The atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
"Our East Branch only occupied four of the top ten spots in the Earth Class. Moreover, the top three spots were previously taken by the West Branch. I wonder if there will be any changes in this Academy Exam?"
"Our East Branch has also produced some powerful people these days. That Liu Feng and Tan Qingshan are said to be about to advance into the Spiritual Movement Stage. If they succeed, they would at least be able to enter the top five."
On the seats of the East Branch, a few students were talking to each other. When Su Ling heard this, he curled his lips and said: "It's not like you don't know the main point of this Academy Exam. It doesn't matter if our East Branch has a few spots in the top ten. As long as Brother Mu can obtain the title of Number One, those guys from the West Branch would not dare to be noisy."
Some of the East Branch students looked at each other and sighed. What he said was true. However, if he wanted to obtain Number One in the Earth Class, he would need to defeat Liu Yang. It is said that that guy possesses a Human Level Spiritual Pulse.
"Brother Mu, the East Courtyard is counting on you this time." Su Ling grinned at the young man in front of him.
Mu Chen smiled, but his gaze was fixed on the arena. Although the competition hadn't officially started, there were already some students sparring in the arena.
While Mu Chen was staring at the arena, a commotion suddenly broke out behind him. After which, a fragrant wind drifted over and a graceful and slender figure appeared beside him. A lovable voice rang out, "Hey!"
Mu Chen tilted his head and looked at Tang Qian'er, who had appeared beside him. The latter was dressed in dark green clothes and had a pretty face. Her bouncing jet-black ponytail attracted many fiery gazes from the surroundings.
Tang Qian'er was a Heaven Class student of the East Branch. She was beautiful and had a good temperament. Therefore, she could be considered as the East Branch's flower. Wherever she went, she would naturally attract all kinds of envious gazes.
"Why are you here?"
Mu Chen was a bit surprised that Tang Qian'er appeared here. Shouldn't the Heaven Class students be cultivating now?
"I'm here to cheer for you."
Tang Qian'er smiled sweetly and jokingly said, "Moreover, if you are beaten to a pulp, I can still carry you back."
"Then thank you." Mu Chen shook his head snappily.
"Hey, can you do it or not?
You had a conflict with Liu Yang yesterday. I'm afraid that he will make trouble for you today. "
Tang Qian'er's eyes flashed with worry. Although she was joking, she also understood the importance of today's matter. Otherwise, she would not have abandoned her cultivation class to come here.
"I'll try my best."
Mu Chen smiled. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and looked at the opposite side. He saw that in the middle of the West Branch's seats, a somewhat cold gaze was staring at him. It was Liu Yang.
Around Liu Yang, Mu Yuan, Xue Dong and the others were also clustered around him. At this moment, they also looked over with provocative sneers.
Mu Chen and Liu Yang looked at each other from afar. As their gazes intertwined, it was as if sparks could be seen.
Both of them were quite famous within the two Academies. Many people knew what the highlight of today was. Therefore, when the two of them stared at each other, it made them grimace.
It seems that today's good show could not escape.
Liu Yang stared at Mu Chen from afar. Then, his gaze turned to Tang Qian'er beside him. He could not help but grit his teeth. When he looked at Mu Chen again, his eyes became even colder.
"What a disaster." Mu Chen took in all the subtle changes in Liu Yang's eyes. He then looked at Tang Qian'er and said with a smile. Everyone in the Northern Spiritual Academy knew that Liu Yang liked Tang Qian'er, but he had never received any good treatment from her. Sometimes, Mu Chen would think that the reason why Liu Yang would target him like this, other than the grudge between his father and his own father, was probably because he hated Tang Qian'er for being close to him.
"If you think that I'm giving you trouble, then I'll leave." Tang Qian'er said with a straight face.
Mu Chen could not help but smile. His black eyes stared at Tang Qian'er. The boy's bright eyes made the girl blush, but she stubbornly looked straight at Mu Chen.
"If it's him, it shouldn't be considered as much trouble." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Hmph, he only knows how to talk big. Wait until you win against him before saying that."
Tang Qian'er curled her lips. Her beautiful eyes scanned the arena and her face suddenly changed. She whispered: "That guy actually came as well."
Mu Chen also looked over and his expression froze for a moment. Of course, he was not the only one. Even the entire East Branch's seats instantly quietened down.
In one of the seats in the western courtyard, there were a few figures that were around seventeen or eighteen years old. They were clearly a little older than the other Earth Class students. At this moment, these people were leaning on the railings and lazily looking at the arena in the middle of the arena. Occasionally, they would laugh in ridicule. It was obvious that they did not place the matches in the arena in their eyes.
In the middle of these people, two figures were the most eye-catching. It was a man and a woman. The girl was wearing a bright red dress and her peach blossom like eyes were especially attractive. It was the West Branch's Hong Ling.
The other figure was dressed in white. His figure was tall and straight, and his face was handsome. At this moment, his gaze was indifferently sweeping across the eastern district. Wherever his gaze passed by, the noise from the eastern district would become a little quieter. Clearly, they were being suppressed by his aura.
"Oh, it's actually Liu Mubai. I didn't expect that even he would come." Su Ling swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a dry voice.
If they were facing Liu Yang, they would still have some fighting spirit in their hearts. However, in front of Liu Mubai, they probably did not even dare to have the courage to fight against him.
This was because Liu Mubai was the true number one person in the Northern Spiritual Academy. Ever since he entered the Northern Spiritual Academy, his number one position had not been shaken by anyone.
Mu Chen stared at the dazzling white figure. His black eyes stared back at him. Even though they were separated by a distance, there was still a kind of pressure that shrouded him.
Four pairs of eyes stared at each other. However, Mu Chen's eyes did not have the slightest fear that the other students had. This kind of calm stare made the white figure raise his eyebrows in surprise.
"Oh, that kid is quite bold."
When the West Branch Heaven Class seniors beside Liu Mubai saw that Mu Chen was not afraid of Liu Mubai, they were a little surprised and said with a smile.
Hong Ling's eyes were also staring at Mu Chen, who was staring at Liu Mubai. The boy's face was slightly immature, but there was a calmness that made others calm. That feeling was as if even the true number one person in the Northern Spiritual Academy would not be able to cause any impact to him.
She could not help but be a little dazed. The timid little boy that followed behind her seemed to have changed a lot.
"Big Brother!"
A voice came from not far away. She saw Liu Yang looking over with a happy expression.
Liu Mubai nodded towards Liu Yang and then both of his hands held onto the railing. He did not say much, but he suppressed the atmosphere of the East Branch Earth Class. On the other hand, the West Branch's momentum increased.
It was obvious that Liu Mubai deliberately came to help the West Branch. With his position in the Northern Spiritual Academy, although the East Branch also had Heaven Class seniors, no one dared to compete with him.
Dong!
Just when Liu Mubai's momentum was suppressing the entire audience, a clear bell suddenly rang out. This caused the students to be excited. The Academy Exam was finally about to begin.
