Countless pairs of eyes gathered on the majestic mountain peak. Five figures were quietly standing there. However, everyone could sense the turbulent waves that were surging under this momentary calm.
After many obstacles, these people who stood at the peak of the new students finally stood here. They were all very outstanding, but only one person could occupy the position of number one amongst the new students. Therefore, it was not an easy task for anyone to hold the spirit flag that symbolized glory in their hands.
The real battle had just begun.
The countless figures on the surrounding mountain peak held their breaths. They knew that this kind of calm would not last for long.
Once the calm was broken, what followed would be a truly spectacular battle!
Under the countless gazes on the mountain peak, the atmosphere was also a little strange. Luo Li and Mu Chen stood close to each other, while Yang Hong, Mu Kui and Bing Qing each took a different position. Their eyes flickered with vigilance and vigilance.
After all, this was not a one-on-one battle in the arena, where they only needed to defeat their opponent. Here, if they were careless, they might have to face the ferocious attacks of four opponents of the same level. If they were to fall into such a situation, any one of the five of them would have a headache.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, the bodies of the five of them quietly tensed up. Vigorous Spiritual Energy gushed out from their bodies like a tidal wave. Tyrannical energy spread throughout their limbs and bones.
Yang Hong's eyes slightly narrowed as he glanced at Mu Chen, who was coldly staring at him. In the next instant, his body slightly leaned forward.
A light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Swish!
At this moment, his figure suddenly turned into a ray of light, and with an extremely astonishing speed, he charged towards the massive Spirit Flag on the stone tablet on the mountain peak.
The tense atmosphere was instantly broken.
Following Yang Hong's movement, the atmosphere was instantly broken.
A cold light flashed in Luo Li's glass-like eyes. Her jade-like hand grasped the black longsword, and without any hesitation, she slashed it out.
A black sword light, approximately dozens of feet long, fiercely swept out from the scabbard and fiercely slashed at Yang Hong's figure.
That black sword glow whistled over. Before it even landed on the ground, it had already torn a hundred feet deep gully on the ground. The sharpness of that aura caused one to be secretly fearful.
In the face of Luo Li's attack, even Yang Hong did not dare to ignore it.
However, just when everyone thought that he was going to stop and defend himself …
His figure suddenly flashed out in a strange manner.
Changing his direction, he turned around and sent a punch towards Mu Chen in the other direction.
"Boom!"
Yang Hong's punch was filled with spiritual power.
Like a raging storm, it brought along a fierce and overbearing gale.
Without the slightest bit of leniency, it rumbled towards Mu Chen.
Yang Gong's sudden attack had clearly exceeded many people's expectations. The strength of his fist was clearly a sign that he had been prepared. His target was not the spirit flag, but Mu Chen!
However, although his attack was unexpected, Mu Chen's eyes were still filled with a chill. He already had some understanding of his opponent's cunning character. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him to not have his guard up against him.
"I didn't expect you to still like to do such sneaky things."
Mu Chen sneered. The Great Pagoda Art was pushed to the extreme within his body. Dark-black Spiritual Energy gushed out like a tidal wave. Then, he blasted out a punch. Four Limitless Death Seals condensed and exploded. Black waves overlapped and directly collided with Yang Hong's punch.
Bang!
Waves of air that were visible to the naked eye swept out in the square, and then they surged out, shaking the air and emitting low and deep sounds that were like thunder.
As the waves of air gradually dissipated, the two figures appeared in front of countless eyes. As expected, Mu Chen and Yang Hong were the first to attack.
"Mu Chen, didn't you want to fight with me?
I'll give you the chance now. However, I see that your Spirit Stage Late Phase strength is quite pitiful. Why don't you join Luo Li?! "Yang Hong stared coldly at Mu Chen and sneered.
Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled and said: "Yang Hong, why do you have to play such tricks? If you are afraid that the two of us will directly attack you, then just say so. Why do you have to do this?"
"Don't worry."
Mu Chen's eyes slightly drooped and a cold light flashed in his black pupils: "To deal with you, I don't need to do this."
Yang Hong sneered and said: "Boasting shamelessly."
Finishing his words, Yang Hong suddenly looked at Mu Kui and said: "Brother Mu Kui, I'm going to fight with Mu Chen now. I believe that no one will stop you. This is the best opportunity for you to snatch the Spirit Flag."
Mu Kui grinned as a glint surfaced in his seemingly simple and honest eyes: "Yang Hong, you always like to play these kinds of tricks. If I really do that, I'm afraid that is the last thing you want to see, right?"
"But don't worry, I don't care about being the number one freshman. What I want is to defeat you guys!"
Mu Kui's eyes burned with fighting intent as he said: "If you guys want to fight, then go ahead. However, if one of you wins, then it will be my turn. After I defeat you guys, I will naturally take the Spirit Flag!"
"Haha, Brother Mu Kui is really straightforward. I admire you."
Yang Hong laughed, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He knew that with Mu Kui's battle-thirsty personality, he would definitely not take advantage of him and take the Spirit Flag while he was fighting with Mu Chen.
"If you guys want to fight, then go ahead. I'm not interested. Since no one wants the Spirit Flag, let me do it."
Not far away, Bing Qing suddenly said coldly. Although Yang Hong was scheming against Mu Kui, she was not interested in waiting for the fight to end.
As her voice faded, she could not be bothered to stay any longer. Her delicate body moved and headed straight for the Spirit Flag.
However, just as she moved, a slender figure appeared in front of her. Bing Qing looked at Luo Li who had appeared in front of her and frowned: "You want to stop me?"
Luo Li smiled and said: "I'm not trying to stop you. I just want to ask you to wait a little longer."
The current situation was quite delicate. The grudge between Mu Chen and Yang Hong had reached its peak and could no longer be tolerated. Mu Kui, on the other hand, would not make a move for the Spirit Flag due to his battle-thirsty personality. Therefore, only Luo Li and Bing Qing could make a move.
Luo Li did not have much interest in the Spirit Flag. She did not particularly care about the so-called number one freshman. After all, she was a girl and did not have a strong interest in things that would make men's blood boil. However, she did not want the Spirit Flag to be taken away when Mu Chen could not make a move.
Therefore, she made a move and stopped Bing Qing.
As they confronted each other, countless gazes from the surrounding mountain peaks lit up. Although the battle between Mu Chen and Yang Hong was equally spectacular, it was evident that this side was more pleasing to the eyes. Both Luo Li and Bing Qing were excellent girls. The former's appearance was exquisite and enchanting, while the latter's icy temperament was extremely unique. Their confrontation was clearly more aesthetically pleasing.
"What are you waiting for?" Bing Qing said calmly.
"Wait for their battle to end. You can come and take the Spirit Flag. I won't stop you then," Luo Li said softly.
"What if I don't agree?" Bing Qing's voice was still as cold as ever, as if it was permeating with a bone-chilling air.
"Then I can only ask for advice from the Ice Spirit Clan's unique skill."
Luo Li's jade-like hand slowly tightened its grip on the black long sword. The black sword ray, like a stream of water, twined around the blade.
Bing Qing's icy-blue eyes tightly stared at Luo Li, who was in front of her. An icy-blue chilling aura slowly seeped out from her exquisite and delicate body, causing the surrounding air to start to freeze bit by bit.
The atmosphere between the two women was a little tense.
On the other side of the mountain peak, Yang Hong secretly let out a sigh of relief when he saw the confrontation. He valued the title of the top freshman very much, and he did not wish for this title to be taken by someone else.
Now that Luo Li had interfered to stop Bing Qing, it was exactly what he wanted. Although he knew that Luo Li had interfered because she wanted to keep the Spirit Flag for Mu Chen.
But in the end, she would find out that her action would only benefit Yang Hong.
Yang Hong's mouth curled into a cold smile. He immediately looked at Mu Chen, and the coldness in his eyes became more intense. He said, "Now, I can have a peaceful battle with you. I will let you understand that in Hokuang Reiwon, I, Yang Hong, will suppress you!"
Mu Chen slowly extended his palm and smiled. His smile was filled with coldness. "Then I will beat you until you don't dare to say such words again."
"With your pitiful strength of a Spirit Stage Late Phase?"
The smile at the corner of Yang Hong's mouth became even more mocking. Shortly after, he slowly took a step forward, and an astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuation started to spread from his body. "Do you really think that my strength is only at the Heavenly Fusion Stage Initial Phase?"
Boom.
Yang Hong's footsteps landed heavily on the ground, causing the entire mountain to tremble. An astonishing amount of Spiritual Energy diffused out and formed a Spiritual Energy pressure that rushed towards Mu Chen in an earth-shattering manner.
Yang Hong's robes fluttered in the wind, and Spiritual Energy gathered under his palms. The intensity of his Spiritual Energy had already reached the level of a Heavenly Fusion Stage Middle Phase!
This Yang Hong had indeed been hiding his strength all along!
At this moment, countless people on the surrounding mountain peaks exclaimed in surprise. This batch of Freshmen was indeed quite powerful. They had just entered the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, but their strength was something that even some of the seniors couldn't compare to.
"Show me what you've got, or I'll crush you like a dead dog!"
Yang Hong's robes fluttered, and his gaze shot towards Mu Chen like a sharp sword. He slightly lowered his head, as if he was looking down on Mu Chen. He sneered as he stared at the latter, and killing intent surged in his eyes.
"Heavenly Fusion Stage Middle Phase."
Mu Chen let out a sigh of relief. This Yang Hong was indeed a powerful opponent. However, Mu Chen's strength was not to be underestimated.
However, he slowly extended his palm and gently bent it towards Yang Hong. Black light gathered in the depths of his black pupils, as if it had transformed into a mysterious black tower.
"Come."
Along with Mu Chen's soft voice resounding out, everyone could sense that the sky above the mountain peak had darkened due to the astonishing confrontation between the two of them.
The battle between the top freshmen was about to begin.
