Xiu!
The bright beam of light was like a meteor that streaked across the sky. It left behind a beautiful trail of light as it flew across the sky of the massive Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Finally, under countless astonished gazes, it charged towards the stone tablet that had the Spirit Ranking engraved on it.
Buzz!
The moment the beam of light entered the stone tablet, everyone could clearly see a dazzling light erupt from the Spirit Ranking. A golden light was climbing up the ranking at an astonishing speed.
In just a few breaths, it charged into the top 10.
Hua.
A commotion broke out within Hokuang Reiwon. Although the Spirit Ranking was only the most basic ranking in Hokuang Reiwon, the top 10 rankings were usually unshakable. This was because those fellows were at the Heavenly Fusion Stage even though their names were on the Spirit Ranking.
"I wonder who made such a move when they broke through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage."
"Hehe, these fellows are always like this. They don't even know how to give the freshmen a way out."
"Didn't we experience the same thing in the past? Freshmen are too arrogant. They need to be polished."
"Tch, if you really have something to do, then go to the Heavenly Ranking to play. What's there to be proud about with just the Spirit Ranking? Those fellows in the top 10 are really thick-skinned."
“”
The changes on the Spirit Ranking attracted the attention of countless students in Hokuang Reiwon. Various voices spread out, but it was obvious that they thought that the dark horse that appeared was an old student that had broken through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage.
Under countless gazes, the golden light continued to climb. 9th, 7th, 5th, and when the golden light reached the 4th position.
Finally, many people started to feel surprised. Although the Spirit Ranking was only the most basic ranking in Hokuang Reiwon, to be able to occupy this ranking for such a long time, it would be impossible for anyone to believe it.
Most likely, no one would believe it.
Especially the top 3 of the Spirit Ranking. Those three fellows were quite famous even among all the Heavenly Fusion Stage students in Hokuang Reiwon.
In the past half a year, their rankings on the Spirit Ranking were unshakable.
And right now
Numerous gazes converged on the golden light. After reaching the fourth place, the golden light finally slowed down. It swayed slightly, before suddenly leaping and finally occupying the third place.
After the golden light occupied the third place, the name that was previously in the third place …
It actually flickered and slowly disappeared.
Generally speaking.
Under normal circumstances, if one's name was overtaken on the leaderboard, the name would not disappear.
It would only slip by one place, but it was the original third place.
Now that his strength had reached the Heavenly Fusion Stage, he had lost the qualifications to compete for the Spirit Ranking. Thus, after he was pushed down, he disappeared.
However, this kind of change only appeared on the third place. Those who were also overtaken only fell by one place.
"The one who was eliminated was the original third place, Mo Lun, right?
Hehe, this guy is really unlucky. He was originally able to obtain 1000 Spiritual Value Points every day by being on the Spirit Ranking. "
Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, a few people laughed as they rejoiced in other people's misfortune. Then, they turned their gazes towards the golden light that occupied the third place. The light there started to dissipate bit by bit, before finally turning into the name of the golden light.
Spirit Ranking Rank 3, Mu Chen. Hokuang Reiwon had cultivated for a day.
"Eh."
The atmosphere within Hokuang Reiwon seemed to have become quiet at this moment. Countless gazes that were looking at the Spirit Ranking were stunned. Hokuang Reiwon had cultivated for a day?
Wasn't that the freshman that had just arrived at Hokuang Reiwon today?
A freshman had actually managed to push out a senior from the Spirit Ranking?
The silence within Hokuang Reiwon only lasted for a moment before it became lively again. How many years had it been since such a thing had happened?
"What is the origin of Mu Chen?
This batch of freshmen seems to be quite interesting. "
"Could it be that he had coincidentally broken through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage today and used the same method?"
"Hehe, this is interesting. Mo Lun is not someone who is easy to deal with. That freshman called Mu Chen actually dared to eliminate him. With Mu Chen's temper, I'm afraid that he won't let this matter go."
"That's right. Also, those fellows that were pushed to the back by him will probably be unhappy as well."
"That Mu Chen's guts are pretty big."
“”
Within Hokuang Reiwon, countless gazes were looking at the Spirit Ranking as they discussed with each other. However, it was obvious that they sympathized with Mu Chen's actions.
The commotion on the Spirit Ranking had obviously attracted the attention of the freshmen in the freshmen's area. They looked at the dazzling name on the ranking in astonishment. Others might be unfamiliar with this name, but they were quite familiar with it.
No one would have thought that this guy would be so powerful. He had only just arrived at Hokuang Reiwon and he had already caused such a huge commotion.
In the Northern District of the freshmen's area, Yang Hong, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the Spirit Ranking that was emitting a golden light and coldly stared at the name on the ranking that made him feel extremely uncomfortable. A trace of gloominess flashed through his eyes.
This guy really had the combat strength of a Heavenly Fusion Stage Initial Phase. No wonder he was able to become the most outstanding person in his Hokuang Reiwon.
"There are some things, but aren't you being too arrogant?
Do you really think that the seniors in the top 10 of the Spirit Ranking are all vegetarians? "
Yang Hong sneered. The seniors in the top 10 of the Spirit Ranking all had the strength of a Heavenly Fusion Stage. From his point of view, Mu Chen's actions were simply looking for trouble for himself.
"I'll let you be complacent for now. In a month's Freshmen Competition, I'll let you know how big the gap between us is." Yang Hong slowly clenched his fists, his eyes filled with coldness.
"In Hokuang Reiwon, as long as I, Yang Hong, am here, Mu Chen, you can forget about standing out!"
At this moment, in the other two directions of the freshmen's area, Bing Qing and Mu Kui also noticed the changes on the Spirit Ranking. They stared at the familiar name and their eyes slightly flickered.
It seemed that there were quite a few powerful people in this batch of freshmen. The Freshmen Competition one month from now would be quite lively. It seemed that the title of the number one freshman would belong to in the end.
"Third place."
Mu Chen looked at the last rank on the Spirit Ranking and faintly smiled. This rank was slightly out of his expectations. Originally, he thought that it would be enough to charge into the top 5.
"This time, the amount of Spiritual Energy I used was within my control. If I used all of my abilities without holding anything back, it should be possible for me to charge into first place."
Mu Chen smiled. However, he did not do so. Charging into third place had already achieved his goal. If he directly charged into first place, it would be too eye-catching.
"How many Spiritual Value Points do you have now?" Luo Li asked.
Mu Chen waved his palm and the crystal-like Spiritual Value Card returned to his hand. Within the crystal clear Spiritual Value Card, a light condensed and turned into a number.
24,100 Spiritual Value Points.
Mu Chen looked at the number on the Spiritual Value Card and let out a sigh of relief. Charging into third place on the Spirit Ranking meant that he had obtained 20,000 Spiritual Value Points as a reward. This was enough to buy a Spirit Pill.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Spiritual Value Hall to buy a Spirit Pill. After that, I will go to the Lightning Territory and try to break through to the Spirit Stage Late Phase." Mu Chen looked at Luo Li and smiled.
Luo Li nodded her head.
Mu Chen raised his head again and looked at the Spirit Ranking. With his current strength, he needed to increase it as soon as possible. There were too many powerful people in Hokuang Reiwon. Furthermore, he had caused such a commotion today. If he did not increase his strength, it would be troublesome in the future.
In this place, Big Sis Cang Ling was one where strength reigned supreme. If one were to occupy such a high position without sufficient strength, one would only be seeking one's own humiliation.
This was a place filled with clouds. Within the clouds, there were countless floating stone platforms that were a few dozen feet in length. Although it was not spacious, it was enough for a person to move around.
At this moment, the majority of the floating stone platforms were filled with figures. Their eyes were tightly shut as Spiritual Energy surged around them. The faint mist that lingered around them fluctuated, before entering their bodies along with their breathing.
The mist was actually formed from the dense Spiritual Aura of the World!
The Spiritual Aura of the World here was actually dense to such a degree.
At this moment, on a platform deep within the clouds, a figure that was sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes. This figure was wearing loose training clothes. His long hair was scattered and his aura was cold. Dense Spiritual Energy rippled around his body.
He opened his eyes and clenched his fist. A crystal-like Spiritual Value Card appeared in his hand. A ray of light flashed and his expression suddenly became gloomy.
"Mu Chen?
A freshman that had just arrived in Hokuang Reiwon actually dared to remove me from the Spirit Ranking! "
The youth's eyes were gloomy and his face was filled with anger. Right now, he did not really care about the 1,000 Spiritual Value Points reward on the Spirit Ranking. If it was an older student, he could endure it. However, he had been kicked out by a freshman that had just arrived in Hokuang Reiwon. To him, this was simply an insult.
In the future, he did not know how many people would laugh at him because of this.
This was a provocation to his prestige!
"Damn it!"
The youth gritted his teeth. It seemed that he had to stop cultivating for a while. He absolutely could not lose his face. Although he would not be able to return to the Spirit Ranking after finding trouble with the freshman, at least he would be able to regain his face.
"I want to see what kind of ability a freshman like you has. You've just arrived in Hokuang Reiwon and yet you dare to be so arrogant!"
The youth coldly snorted and muttered to himself: "If others don't come and teach you a lesson, I, Mo Lun, will teach you what it means to respect your seniors!"
After he finished speaking, the youth slowly closed his eyes again. He had already made up his mind that he would stop cultivating tomorrow and teach the arrogant freshman a lesson!
(Second update!
One more update!
I'm still short of 300 monthly votes. Are there any brothers or sisters who want to give me a try?
Thank you!)
