The rampaging Spiritual Energy surging between the heavens and earth finally dissipated at this moment. Countless gazes converged towards the shattered ground. More accurately speaking, their gazes stopped at the youth that was slowly walking out from the sunken ground.
The youth's handsome face was slightly pale. The astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from his body had weakened by quite a bit, causing him to appear to be in a slightly sorry state.
However, no one dared to mock his current miserable state. Even those older students had solemn expressions in their eyes. The earthshaking battle from before had similarly shocked them.
A battle of that degree was extremely rare to see among the freshmen. Even the seniors might not be able to endure such a desperate battle.
The freshman before them, Mu Chen, had used his strength to win the respect and attention of everyone.
At the foot of the mountain, countless freshmen blankly watched this scene. After a long while of silence, someone suddenly raised his hand and started to clap. In the next moment, the sound of clapping rapidly spread out, reverberating across the heavens and earth in a manner that could topple mountains and overturn seas.
Mu Chen's previous performance had caused them to feel astonished. At the same time, it had allowed them, the freshmen, to gain face in front of the seniors in Hokuang Reiwon. At the very least, if they were to encounter those arrogant seniors in the future, they would be able to retaliate against their arrogance.
There are similarly dazzling figures amongst us freshmen.
Mu Chen stood on top of the shattered ground. Looking at the figures that hid the skies and covered the earth around him, he could only helplessly smile as he listened to the thunderous clapping.
On the mountain peak, Li Xuantong was also looking at the slender figure of the youth.
In the next moment, he slowly retracted his gaze, his chin faintly nodding. Mu Chen's performance today had not disappointed him.
Luo Li's eyesight was indeed not bad.
However, just based on this alone, he still did not have the qualifications to stay by Luo Li's side.
This would only create some obstacles for her, and at that time, both of them might be hurt.
Li Xuantong lowered his eyes slightly. He knew that he liked Luo Li, but Luo Li only treated him as a friend. Even so, there were some things that he still needed to think for Luo Li, even if she might not agree with his way of doing things.
Applause resounded throughout the mountains and plains.
It lasted for a long time.
Finally, it gradually weakened.
Luo Li's delicate figure flew over and appeared beside Mu Chen. Her glass-like eyes looked at the latter.
He asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Mu Chen shook his head with a smile, but his pale face showed that he didn't believe him.
After all, Yang Hong was not an ordinary opponent. Even though he had defeated him, Mu Chen had also paid a price and was currently in a very weak state.
In the distant sky, Elder Zhu Tian slowly flew over and appeared in the air in front of Mu Chen. He looked at Mu Chen with a peculiar expression and said with a smile, "Little fellow, you've won this match. However, you haven't obtained the spirit flag, so you're not the number one freshman."
Countless gazes were also cast over. Indeed, even though Mu Chen had defeated Yang Hong, the freshmen competition this time was not an arena competition. Only the one who successfully obtained the spirit flag would be the true number one freshman. Mu Chen clearly had not met that condition, even though Mu Chen's strength had already conquered everyone.
None of the people present believed that there was anyone among this batch of freshmen who could defeat Mu Chen in a one on one battle.
Ye Qingling and the others felt that it was a pity. Even though they hoped that Mu Chen would become the number one freshman, they could still feel that Mu Chen's current condition was not good. Mu Kui and Bing Qing were obviously troublesome opponents, and their strength was not much weaker than Yang Hong. If Mu Chen were to fight them in his current condition, it would be too disadvantageous for him.
At this moment, Mu Kui and Bing Qing also flew over and stood in the air, looking at Mu Chen.
In the face of countless gazes, Mu Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Elder Zhu Tian, I will give up on the next battle. Let them fight for the number one freshman."
Mu Chen did not particularly care about the title of the so-called number one freshman. The reason why he targeted Yang Hong was because of the grudge between the two of them. Now that the outcome of the battle had been decided, he did not need to force himself to engage in another high-intensity battle, as it would only place a greater burden on his body.
"Oh?
You are actually not fighting for the number one spot? "
Elder Zhu Tian looked at Mu Chen in surprise. Normally, youngsters of Mu Chen's age should be at the prime of their youth, and a little bit of fame would be enough to cause them to break heads and bleed. Yet, Mu Chen had actually given up on this opportunity?
Countless older students also looked at Mu Chen in surprise. The latter's momentum was at its peak, and if he were to take advantage of the situation, coupled with the fact that the black-dressed girl seemed to have a close relationship with him, if the two of them joined forces, it would not be impossible for them to obtain the Spirit Flag.
Mu Chen nodded his head. In fact, the rewards for the top five were almost the same. Apart from the Spiritual Value Points, the other rewards were exactly the same. Moreover, they would also be able to enter the "Spiritual Arts Hall". Therefore, he did not feel the need to fight with Mu Kui and Bing Qing for the so-called number one freshman.
"The two of you, the fight for the Spirit Flags will be up to you." Mu Chen smiled towards Mu Kui and Bing Qing.
"You're not coming?"
Mu Kui's eyes immediately revealed a look of disappointment when he heard Lin Dong's words. He shook his head dispiritedly and said, "I'm not interested in the so-called number one freshman. Right now, I want to fight to my heart's content with you. How about it?
Do you want to try with me? "
Mu Chen was stunned, and immediately smiled bitterly. This Mu Kui was indeed a battle maniac.
"He's not in a good state right now. If you like it, I'll fight with you. I won't disappoint you." Luo Li stared at Mu Kui and said.
Mu Kui immediately smiled awkwardly. He seemed to be a little impatient. He immediately shook his head and said, "Since you're not going to participate in the next battle, then there's no point in this Freshmen Competition. I'm too lazy to fight with these two girls, so I'll just give up."
"However, you have to promise me that when you've recovered, you'll fight with me. Just like just now, there's no need to be polite. The fiercer, the better."
Mu Chen was helpless.
He could only nod his head. He had a good impression of Mu Kui's straightforward character, so he would not be too impolite.
"What's wrong with women?"
Bing Qing's willowy eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
She coldly looked at Mu Kui, and a cold aura slowly spread out from her body. "Do you think you can win against me?"
Mu Kui froze for a moment, then immediately laughed dryly. He did have a headache when it came to women.
Therefore, he tactfully did not provoke Bing Qing. This woman was indeed very powerful. If they were to fight, he might not necessarily win.
Bing Qing saw that Mu Kui did not dare to spout nonsense, then she turned her gaze to Mu Chen and said, "This Freshmen Competition is so boring because of you guys. Everyone has already given up. If I go and pull out a spirit flag, it would look too stupid.
So, that spirit flag.
I don't want it. "
The corner of Mu Chen's mouth slightly twitched.
Why were all these guys so unique? They didn't even want the number one freshman that was delivered to their doorstep. If it was someone else like Yang Hong …
They probably couldn't wait for all of them to leave as soon as possible.
"All three of you have given up?"
Elder Zhu Tian also looked at Mu Chen and the others in astonishment. Obviously, he also thought that this year's freshmen were so unique.
Mu Kui and Bing Qing casually nodded.
Then, the two of them looked at Mu Chen and said, "You should be quite qualified to be the number one freshman. If it was us in your previous battle with Yang Hong, our ending might not be any better than Yang Hong's. So, to be honest, if Luo Li doesn't have any objections, you are fully deserving of being the number one freshman."
Mu Kui and Bing Qing's words were indeed true. Previously, the battle between Mu Chen and Yang Hong was too fierce and exciting. Even they had to admit that if it was them in Mu Chen's place, it would be impossible for them to defeat Mu Chen's terrifying Black Tower suppression.
Although Mu Chen did not fight with them, there were some things that everyone could feel. Therefore, they were too lazy to waste any more time. Their temperaments were quite arrogant, and they did not want to take advantage of Mu Chen's weakened state to snatch this unworthy number one freshman.
"Thank you for your praise."
Mu Chen smiled and said: "However, since we've already given up, we'll let Luo Li pull out the Spirit Flag. I feel that her title as the Number One Freshman is probably more valuable than mine."
Although he had never seen Luo Li fight, Mu Chen could feel that Luo Li's strength was definitely stronger than Yang Hong's. If Mu Chen and Luo Li were to fight without holding back, Mu Chen did not have the confidence to defeat her.
When Mu Kui and Bing Qing heard this, they also looked at Luo Li and nodded. They felt the same as Mu Chen. Although Luo Li rarely fought, no one dared to look down on this beautiful girl with an exquisite face. Otherwise, Bing Qing would not have given up so easily under Luo Li's obstruction.
Luo Li was also startled for a moment. It was evident that she didn't understand why the title of the Number One Freshmen would suddenly be placed on her head. She immediately glared at Mu Chen. This hateful guy actually pushed her out.
Others might covet the title of number one freshman, but Luo Li did not think that it was that interesting.
"Cough, after all, the number one freshman has 500,000 Spiritual Value Points. We are suffering now, so obtaining those Spiritual Value Points can help us improve a little. It is not easy to support a family now." Mu Chen moved closer to Luo Li. His palm secretly hooked onto Luo Li's slender jade-like hand as he laughed in a low voice.
Luo Li was angry and amused at the same time. She was reluctant to do anything to the currently weak Mu Chen. She could only lightly clench her teeth. Then, under the countless astonished gazes, she rushed to the mountain peak and effortlessly pulled out the huge Spirit Flag.
Luo Li held the huge Spirit Flag and floated down. Then, she smiled at Elder Zhu Tian, who was slightly stunned, and said, "Elder Zhu Tian, can you announce the results?"
Zhu Tian did not know whether to laugh or cry as he nodded his head. He really did not understand what the new students were thinking. This Luo Li had not even fought once, but in the end, she had inexplicably become the number one freshman.
This was probably the easiest time for Hokuang Reiwon to become the number one freshman in all these years, right?
