This was a fairyland-like place. The sky was as blue as a mirror and white clouds floated around. The entire world was filled with a faint mist. The mist was extremely peculiar. As it floated down, it did not dissipate. Instead, it floated in the air, swaying along with the wind. Occasionally, a peculiar yet familiar fluctuation would be emitted.
This floating mist was actually formed from the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth!
In the depths of this fairyland-like place, within a mountain stream, a huge waterfall passed through the mountain peak like a huge dragon. Then, it descended in a straight line. Loud rumbling sounds reverberated between the heavens and earth.
That waterfall was multi-colored and there was a faint and terrifying fluctuation being emitted from it. If one were to carefully sense it, one would be able to sense that this waterfall was actually formed from Spiritual Energy!
If this scene was seen by the new students of Hokuang Reiwon, they would probably be shocked to the extreme. Cultivating in such a place, just the Spiritual Energy alone was probably not something that an ordinary person could withstand.
Sometimes, the denser the Spiritual Energy, the better. If an ordinary student were to enter such a place, they would not be able to stay for long before their meridians would swell from the Spiritual Energy. If they were to continue, they would directly explode from the Spiritual Energy.
And this place was naturally the deepest region of the only ten Grade 7 Spirit Convergence Arrays in Hokuang Reiwon.
Under the descending waterfall, there was a huge green rock protruding out. On that green rock, one could faintly see a thin figure quietly sitting cross-legged. A suction force was emitted from within his body, completely absorbing the Spiritual Energy and water vapor that floated between the heavens and earth into his body.
A faint arc of light enveloped his body.
It was as if he had transformed into a faint rainbow light. As he sat there, he gave off an extremely strange feeling.
Although it was clearly visible to the naked eye, in one's perception, it was as if he had merged with the heavens and earth, and could not be touched.
Only when one's line of sight was one able to see that the thin figure was wearing a green robe, and his long hair was draped over his shoulders.
A light breeze blew against his hair, giving off a strange feeling as if it was about to be blown away by the wind. His face was exceptionally handsome.
The side of his face was somewhat contoured and emitted a unique male charm.
Hu.
After cultivating for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
In his eyes.
It was a long while later before he gently exhaled a ball of white Qi and blew it.
Bang!
All of a sudden, the white aura turned berserk, as if it had been injected with frightening Spiritual Energy. As the white light shot out, it was akin to a ray of light that flashed past the waterfall that was descending.
Even the waterfall was cut in half for an instant.
The green-robed youth calmly looked at the gradually recovering waterfall.
He raised his head and looked at the distant sky. There was a streak of light flying over. A few breaths later, it turned into a figure and landed on the rock he was on.
"Is there any news about that fellow, Shen Cangsheng?" the green-robed youth asked as he stretched his body.
"He accepted a Heaven Rank Mission and ran out again. According to what I know, he should be chasing after the Ninth Yin Sect. Those rat-like things killed over a dozen of our students who were training in the Northern Heavens Continent." The person who came was a youth in black clothes. He shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Ninth Shade Sect?"
The green-robed youth smiled and said, "Although it's a broken force, it's said that the Sect Master has the strength of a Heavenly Transform Stage, right?
Moreover, they specialize in concealment and assassination. This is a group mission, but Shen Cangsheng chased after them alone. Sure enough, the skilled are bold. "
"Are you afraid that he can't handle it?" The youth in black clothes smiled.
"That guy is also a monster. He can even suppress me. It's impossible for a Ninth Yin Sect to overturn him." The green-robed youth shook his head and said.
"Back in the Freshmen Competition, you only lost to him by one move," the youth in black clothes said.
"Sometimes, the difference of one move is a chasm."
The green-robed youth smiled faintly and said, "But I haven't fought with him for nearly a year. My hands are indeed a little itchy. I really want to see how strong his Divine Art of Judgement is."
"It seems that your Profound Sky Divine Art has also made a breakthrough," the youth in black clothes said in surprise.
"It's just an improvement." The green-robed youth smiled and said, "Is there anything interesting in Hokuang Reiwon recently?
I've been in seclusion for three months. Those guys aren't restless, right? "
"Those guys from the Judgement Group are still as overbearing as before. There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked Shen Cangsheng to be with them? As for the others, it's temporarily quiet. Looks like they're all training to prepare for the Hunting War in half a year." The youth in black clothes curled his lips and said.
"Although the Judgement Group is overbearing, they shouldn't dare to do anything to our 'Xuan Gang'."
The green-robed youth waved his hand and said, "On the contrary, those other guys are giving me a headache. He Yao, that guy, has always been trying to make a move against me. Although he's only fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, if he really wants to make a move, even Su Xuan can't stop him. It's just that he likes her, so he didn't touch her position."
"So he has his eyes on you?"
The green-robed youth smiled and said with a lazy expression, "But it doesn't matter. Those guys in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking aren't easy to deal with. Each of them has their own tricks up their sleeves. However, I've been suppressing them for so many years, so it won't be that easy to replace me."
The black-clothed youth nodded his head. He didn't have the slightest bit of doubt towards this seemingly mischievous, yet domineering attitude. There was no other reason for this, as the youth in front of him was the extremely ferocious person, Rank 2 of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's Heavenly Ranking, Li Xuantong.
Within Hokuang Reiwon, the only person who could suppress him was that abnormal existence.
"Oh right, the freshmen of Hokuang Reiwon have arrived. Tomorrow is the Freshmen Competition. I heard that there are a few powerful people among the freshmen."
"Who?" Li Xuantong waved his sleeves and asked casually.
"To be precise, there should be five people who are relatively powerful. Yang Hong, Mu Kui, and Mu Chen. This freshman is a bit special. He was able to defeat Mo Lun, who was about to step into the Heavenly Fusion Stage Middle Phase, with his Spirit Stage Late Phase strength. He is also a dark horse."
"The other two are girls. They are both very outstanding. One of them is Bing Qing from the Ice Spirit Clan. The other one is a girl called Luo Li."
As soon as the youth in black clothes finished speaking, he noticed that something was wrong. The originally lazy Li Xuantong's body seemed to have stiffened for a moment. Immediately after, the latter slowly turned his head and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Who?"
The youth in black clothes was stunned for a moment. He immediately repeated the last two names. When he mentioned the name Luo Li, he could see the youth in front of him slightly open his mouth.
"Luo Li?" Li Xuantong turned his head, "Heh, how could that be?
Why would she come to Hokuang Reiwon?
What does she look like? "
The youth in black clothes looked at him strangely and described Luo Li's appearance.
"So it's true. I didn't expect it." Li Xuantong smiled. The lazy expression on his face had completely disappeared.
"You know this Luo Li?"
The youth in black clothes asked in surprise. This was the first time he saw the youth in front of him have such an expression when he heard the name of a girl.
"Hehe." Li Xuantong smiled and nodded.
The black-clothed youth helplessly spread out his hands and said, "If you're interested in her, then I'll tell you a piece of bad news. She seems to have someone she likes, and that's the freshman by the name of Mu Chen. If I'm not wrong, they're even living together."
Li Xuantong frowned and muttered, "How could it be like this? No wonder. It seems like the things I heard are true."
Seeing this, the youth in black clothes thought for a moment and said, "Do you need me to make that freshman behave?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid she will be angry."
Li Xuantong shook his head and slowly stood up. He said, "She is very stubborn. I don't want her to fall out with me."
"Then …" The youth in black clothes hesitated.
"You don't have to worry about that."
He smiled. His long hair draped over his shoulders as he looked in the direction of the distant exit. After a moment of silence, he said, "Forget it, I'll go see her. I haven't seen her for many years. Let's see what exactly is going on. This news really doesn't make me happy."
"Love rival?
With your excellence, she doesn't like you? "The youth in black clothes couldn't help but ask.
"Heh … I've always treated her like a younger sister."
Li Xuantong smiled. However, after seeing the corner of the youth's mouth twitch, he could only helplessly say, "Although I do like her a little and she doesn't like me, her situation is quite complicated. Sigh, but that Mu Chen really shouldn't be by her side."
As his voice rang out, he took a step forward. Light rippled around him and in a flash, he had appeared a thousand meters away. After another flash, he had already disappeared without a trace.
The youth in black clothes shrugged his shoulders at this scene. Looks like he really cares about that girl called Luo Li, to the point that he could even temporarily put down his cultivation.
Freshmen area
Numerous freshmen had gathered in the plaza, while Mu Chen and Luo Li stood in the middle of the plaza. The two of them stared at the members of the Goddess Luo Association, who were bitterly training in the plaza, and gave a faint smile.
Luo Li's jade-like hand held onto the strands of hair that had fallen before her forehead. Just when she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly narrowed. She raised her head and looked outside the plaza, where a figure in green clothes was slowly walking over.
This figure was extremely peculiar. Although he could be seen with the naked eye, the people around him seemed to have disregarded him, allowing him to pass through the plaza.
At this moment, Mu Chen had also sensed this scene. His gaze was tightly fixed on the figure as his expression was filled with graveness. He could sense an extremely dangerous fluctuation coming from the figure.
The figure in green clothes quickly appeared before Mu Chen and Luo Li. With a faint smile, he looked at Luo Li and said, "Long time no see, Luo Li."
When he appeared, only then did the freshmen in the plaza sense this uninvited guest. Immediately, they swiftly surrounded him and looked at the youth in green clothes with vigilance.
Luo Li's glass-like eyes stared at the youth before her as her black eyebrows slightly knitted together. Shortly after, she lowered her head.
"Li Xuantong, long time no see." (To be continued …)
