The Great Ruler - Chapter13

Around the stage, many gazes were focused on the two youths that were facing each other on the stage. Their eyes were filled with expectations. These were the two strongest people within the Northern Spiritual Academy Earth Class.

"That Mu Chen is finally willing to go up. I'm really curious if he is Liu Yang's opponent."

At the corner of the West Branch seats, the youths from the West Branch Heaven Class looked at the two figures on the stage and could not help but laugh. Actually, even they were quite curious about Mu Chen. After all, no matter what, he was the only person within the Northern Spiritual Realm that was qualified to enter the Spiritual Road.

If it was not for the inexplicable matter of him being kicked out of the Spiritual Road, the current Mu Chen was probably not at a level that they could reach. Maybe even a genius like Liu Mubai would be inferior to him.

Thinking about this, they secretly glanced at Liu Mubai in front of them. However, they did not dare to say this out loud.

Hearing their words, the handsome youth only let out a faint smile. His eyes stared at the skinny youth on the stage and there was a hint of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

"The Spiritual Road's selection is a bit accidental. Therefore, there will be mistakes sometimes. Maybe the quota this time should have been Brother Liu's, but there was a mistake and it was given to Mu Chen. Otherwise, why would that guy be kicked out?" A youth that was obviously very close to Liu Mubai curled his lips and sneered.

The West Branch Heaven Class students on the side also smiled and nodded. Although they did not agree with this, it was obviously not a rational thing to offend Liu Mubai, who was currently at the peak of the Northern Spiritual Academy, for Mu Chen, who was kicked out of the Spiritual Road.

"Who do you think has a higher chance of winning, Hong Ling?"

Liu Mubai smiled as he looked at the girl in a red dress. Her eyes were filled with a hint of charm.

The girl named Hong Ling stared at the stage. Her beautiful eyes lingered on Mu Chen's body for a moment. At this moment, the boy's body was tall and straight like a spear. The laziness that he had in the past seemed to have faded away bit by bit. What replaced it was a sharpness that was gradually revealed.

The little boy from back then had indeed changed a lot.

"They are both at the Initial Stage of the Spirit Movement Realm. Liu Yang cultivates your Liu Territory's Flaming Sun Art, which is a Low Rank Spirit Art. However, Mu Chen's father is also a Territory Lord, so the Spirit Art he gave him should not be ordinary. The two of them are tied in this aspect."

Hong Ling's eyes fluttered, her somewhat lazy appearance seemed even more alluring: "However, Liu Yang possesses a Human Level Spiritual Pulse. If he uses it, it is enough to match the strength of a Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Stage. If it's Mu Chen, he will suffer quite a bit."

Liu Mubai smiled when he heard this. He stared at Mu Chen in the middle of the stage and said: "Liu Yang's ability is not bad. It is not wrong for Mu Chen to lose to him. Actually, I am quite curious as to why he was able to obtain the qualification to enter the Spiritual Road."

Hong Ling glanced at him. It seems that Liu Mubai had some grudges towards Mu Chen obtaining the qualification to enter the Spiritual Road. The arrogant Liu Mubai had always thought that he was the most outstanding person within the younger generation of the Northern Spiritual Realm. The qualification to enter the Spiritual Road within the Northern Spiritual Realm should have landed on him. However, the final result was out of everyone's expectations.

"If he can't even pass through Liu Yang, then the Spiritual Road's selection will really disappoint me."

Liu Mubai said softly. He slowly clenched his fist and a deep palm print appeared on the railing that was made of iron. A chill flowed deep within his eyes.

He could not tolerate a guy without any ability stealing the spot that originally belonged to him.

"Brother Mu, do your best!"

"Brother Mu, take back our East Branch's Earth Class Champion!"

Around the stage, the East Branch students looked at the two people facing each other on the stage. Their eyes were filled with excitement. For the past two years, the East Branch had been suppressed by the West Branch. Whether it was the Heaven Class or the Earth Class, they were all suppressed by the West Branch to the point that they could not lift their heads. Now, the East Branch finally had someone who could compete with the West Branch.

"A bunch of whimsical guys."

When Liu Yang heard these voices, the corner of his mouth curled up into a vicious smile. Then, he stared at Mu Chen and said in a mocking tone: "I really want to know how wonderful their expressions will be when you lose."

Facing his mocking, Mu Chen's face did not show any signs of anger. He only extended his hand and smiled: "You probably don't have that ability."

"You overestimate yourself!"

Liu Yang's eyes flashed with anger. He clenched his fists and a fiery red Spiritual Energy wrapped around his arms like flames. In the next instant, he took a step forward and a slight muffled sound came from his feet. His body was like a cheetah as he shot forward.

Boom!

A fist wrapped in fiery red Spiritual Energy approached Mu Chen in an instant. The Spiritual Energy oppressed the air and made a strange creaking sound.

Mu Chen's body slanted to the side. The moment Liu Yang's fist passed by his body, his right hand fiercely chopped out. Dark black Spiritual Energy wrapped around his fingertips. Like a sharp hand knife, it mercilessly chopped towards Liu Yang's wrist.

Mu Chen did not show any mercy. However, Liu Yang did indeed have some ability to become the West Branch's Earth Class Champion. He immediately changed his fist into a palm and used a backhand knife to heavily chop Mu Chen's wrist.

Bang!

A low and deep sound rang out. The two Spiritual Energies collided and both of them took half a step back.

"You want to compete with me to see whose Spiritual Energy is more vigorous?!"

Liu Yang sneered. With a stomp of his feet, fiery red Spiritual Energy wrapped around both of his legs. The strength of this Spiritual Energy was clearly much stronger than Tan Qingshan's from before.

"Swoosh!"

As Spiritual Energy poured into Liu Yang's legs, his speed instantly increased. His figure shot out, causing people to be unable to see his figure clearly. Borrowing this speed, he instantly unleashed an extremely ferocious attack.

Bang bang bang!

Liu Yang's blurry figure was like a flaming tornado that wrapped around Mu Chen. Punches, kicks, elbows. A series of vicious attacks mixed with violent Spiritual Energy engulfed Mu Chen in an earth-shattering manner.

Hua.

Outside the ring, many students saw Liu Yang's sudden burst of fierce attacks and burst into an uproar. Tan Qingshan, who was defeated by Liu Yang before, also had a serious expression. The degree of Liu Yang's Spiritual Energy was probably close to the Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase. In addition, the Spiritual Art that he trained was not an ordinary one. That level of combat power was even more shocking.

The excitement on Su Ling and the others' faces also weakened a lot. A hint of worry appeared in their eyes. They only recovered at this moment. Liu Yang was a very powerful guy.

"Don't worry, Mu Chen won't lose so easily."

Tang Qian 'Er's beautiful eyes stared at the ring. After a while, she smiled sweetly. She herself had the strength of a Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase, so she could naturally see Liu Yang's speed. Although the latter's attacks were like a storm, in the storm, there was a bluestone that stood still.

Numerous gazes were tightly glued to the figure within the flaming tornado. The latter either dodged or received the attacks, and was actually able to receive all of Liu Yang's ferocious attacks. It was as if he had seen through all of Liu Yang's hidden attacks.

"As expected of a little guy who experienced the Spiritual Road." On the main seat, Principal Xiao stared at this scene and a hint of admiration flashed through his muddy eyes.

"Mu Chen's eyes are sharp and he is calm when facing an enemy. This mentality is not inferior to someone who has experienced hundreds of battles."

Teacher Mo also nodded his head. His words were full of admiration. Although his Spiritual Energy was weak, he could still cultivate. However, the mentality of an expert was not so easy to train.

"His eyes are really good. He knew to pick the weakest point of Liu Yang's attacks. It can be considered as breaking through force with skill. However, there is a saying that one force can break ten. His dodging means that his Spiritual Energy is not as strong as Liu Yang's. As long as Liu Yang gathers his strength and attacks, it will be hard for Mu Chen to win."

The skinny middle-aged man who was addressed as Master Xi spoke. As instructors, not only were they powerful, but they also had sharp eyes.

Hearing this, Principal Xiao and Teacher Mo also nodded their heads. This was indeed the case. However, was the current Mu Chen really avoiding the sharp edge?

Within the whirlwind of flames, a muffled sound suddenly rang out. Mu Chen suddenly attacked. His two sharp fingers were like an incomparably sharp dagger. Dark black Spiritual Energy wrapped around it and it penetrated through the whirlwind. It was as fast as lightning and pointed at the swift figure.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out and the whirlwind of flames suddenly stopped. A figure slightly staggered back a dozen steps. The clothes at the shoulder were already torn. It was obvious that it was torn by Mu Chen's sharp finger.

Around the stage, the uproar instantly intensified. No matter if it was the East Branch or the West Branch students, they all had a face full of shock. They obviously did not expect that Liu Yang, who was attacking ferociously just now, would suddenly be beaten back by Mu Chen.

"You!"

At this moment, Liu Yang's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out. He stared at Mu Chen and immediately took a deep breath. On his right palm, fiery red Spiritual Energy quickly surged out.

The fiery red Spiritual Energy rose up and condensed in Liu Yang's palm like flames. The Spiritual Energy quickly shrank and vaguely, it seemed to have turned into a fiery red sun the size of a palm.

A berserk fluctuation was slowly being emitted from his body.

The uproar outside of the stage quickly began to die down. Many students looked at this scene with fear and trepidation. Liu Yang had obviously pushed the Spiritual Energy in his body to the limit.

Mu Chen looked at Liu Yang, who was going all out, and lightly pursed his lips. His eyes instantly turned cold.

With a whirl of his palms, he circulated the Great Pagoda Art. Within the aura sea in his body, the dark-black Spiritual Energy quickly vibrated and layers of amplification rippled out.

One level, five levels, ten levels, thirteen levels

The dark-black Spiritual Energy wrapped around Mu Chen's palms and a domineering aura rippled out. It faintly showed signs of surpassing Liu Yang's violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation.

When the Spiritual Energy amplification reached the thirteenth level, Mu Chen did not stop. As he became more familiar with the Great Pagoda Art, the amplification limit of the Great Pagoda Art did not stop there!

Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes. There was a sharpness like the edge of a blade in his eyes.

Boom!

Within the aura sea, there seemed to be a slight buzzing sound. Mu Chen's body fiercely shook.

Eighteen levels!

The dark-black Spiritual Energy violently surged out from Mu Chen's body. The pressure produced by the powerful Spiritual Energy instantly suppressed Liu Yang's Spiritual Energy.

"What a powerful Spiritual Energy!"

Shock flashed through the eyes of Dean Xiao and the other two. This level of Spiritual Energy was already close to the Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase. Furthermore, they could feel that the dark-black Spiritual Energy that surged out from Mu Chen's body was filled with a domineering intent. It was obvious that it was not something that an ordinary Spiritual Art could possess.

"Mu Chen, you are seeking your own death!"

With his Spiritual Energy actually being suppressed, a look of astonishment flashed across Liu Yang's face. However, in the next moment, he let out an angry roar and took a step forward. In the next moment, everyone could see that on his body, fiery red dots of light had actually lit up. These dots of light were scattered all over his body. Faintly, they seemed to be peculiar meridians, like long snakes soaring in the sky.

"Spiritual Pulse?!"

Exclamations once again broke out around the stage. They never thought that Liu Yang would actually be forced to activate his Spiritual Pulse. This time, the situation would once again be reversed by him!
