In the following two days, Mu Chen followed Jiu You's advice and did not focus on training. Instead, he quietly cultivated every day and tried his best to adjust his condition so that he was at his peak.
The effects of his recuperation were quite good. In two days, Mu Chen had completely recovered from the injuries and weakness caused by the battle with Yang Hong. Within his body, Spiritual Energy surged like a surging river. Vigorous energy rippled through his limbs and bones.
Right now, Mu Chen could feel that the Spiritual Energy within his body was more vigorous than before the battle with Yang Hong. It was evident that although the battle was dangerous, it was beneficial for his cultivation. However, this improvement had yet to reach the limits of the Spirit Stage Late Phase. The feeling of a breakthrough had yet to appear.
On the other hand, Mu Chen was quite calm about this. It wasn't easy to advance to the Heavenly Fusion Stage. Even if he had always been steady in his cultivation, he still needed an opportunity and a foundation to break through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage. Only then would he be able to advance to the Heavenly Fusion Stage!
Right now, he could only quietly cultivate and wait for the day when the conditions were right.
In the clear lake in the freshmen area, Mu Chen sat cross-legged on the surface of the lake. A faint Spiritual Energy wrapped around his body, making him look as if he was floating on the surface of the water.
Around the lake were several training grounds, where quite a few new students were training and sparring. Almost all of these new students were members of the Goddess Luo Association. After the battle with Yang Hong, the originally arrogant "Wyvern Association" had become more and more popular among the new students.
On the other hand, the "Goddess Luo Association" took the opportunity to rise and expand a lot. Fortunately, Zhou Ling and Ye Qingling were quite experienced in this.
Therefore, they did not randomly allow others to join. Instead, they only allowed them to join after going through some tests. This was also the main reason why the "Goddess Luo Association" was not flooded with freshmen.
The current Mu Chen was obviously the most dazzling figure among the freshmen.
Amongst the freshmen, he was clearly the most dazzling figure. His brilliance even overshadowed that of Yang Hong, Mu Kui and the rest. After all, the battle that day was simply too astonishing. Even after many days had passed, many freshmen still enthusiastically talked about it. Of course.
Not only them.
Even some of the older students.
They would talk about the exciting battle with a tone of admiration.
Therefore, around the lake.
There were also quite a number of gazes that shot towards the middle of the lake. Within those eyes, there was a faint smile.
Their gazes were filled with awe and curiosity.
Mu Chen quietly sat on the surface of the lake. His body could feel the gentle ripples of the water. A sense of tranquility emanated from his heart. It was as if the Spiritual Energy flowing in his body had become a lot more agile.
Suddenly, the tranquil water rippled slightly. Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes and stared at Ye Qingling and Zhou Ling, who were treading on the water, as he faintly smiled.
"Hey, I heard that Yang Hong woke up today." Zhou Ling smiled as he looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen nodded his head indifferently. In the battle that day, Yang Hong's injuries were obviously more serious than his. That was why he only woke up today.
"Tomorrow, you will go to the Spiritual Arts Hall to choose your Spiritual Arts."
Ye Qingling said enviously. "If you can obtain a Deity Tier Spiritual Art, it will be really amazing."
A Deity Tier Spiritual Art was a huge attraction to almost anyone.
"How can it be so easy."
Mu Chen smiled. If a Deity Tier Spiritual Art was so easy to obtain, it would not be priced at such a terrifying price in the Spiritual Values Hall.
"You have been as leisurely as an old man these few days. You didn't even train and look lazy. What are you doing?"
Zhou Ling was a little puzzled. Mu Chen had been too lazy for the past two days. He had been wandering around the freshman area all day and did not go to the Spirit Gathering Array or the Lightning Territory to train.
"Adjusting my state."
Mu Chen smiled and did not explain much. He raised his head and looked at the huge bird mountain in the center of Hokuang Reiwon. On the huge wing of the mountain, the Spirit Ranking was shining in a golden light. His name was shining in a golden light as it hung in the 3rd position.
"I plan to become the 1st on the Spirit Ranking."
Mu Chen turned his gaze towards the 1st position on the Spirit Ranking. There was a dazzling name there, Su Ling Er. It was obvious that the person who occupied the 1st position on the Spirit Ranking was a girl.
"The 1st position on the Spirit Ranking?"
Zhou Ling and Ye Qingling were stunned for a moment. Immediately, their eyes were filled with joy. Although the Spirit Ranking was only a basic ranking in Hokuang Reiwon, it would still cause quite a commotion if one could reach the top.
Although Mu Chen was currently ranked 3rd on the Spirit Ranking, they were very clear that the difference between the 3rd and 1st position was completely different.
If Mu Chen could really become the 1st position on the Spirit Ranking, he would definitely be more important than the 1st position among the freshmen.
"However, the person who currently occupies the 1st position on the Spirit Ranking is Su Ling Er. She is a famous beauty in Hokuang Reiwon." Zhou Ling said as he looked at the golden name at the top of the Spirit Ranking.
Mu Chen did not mind and smiled. Beautiful?
Could she be more beautiful than Luo Li? He did not believe that.
"Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that Su Ling Er's sister is Su Xuan." Zhou Ling laughed dryly.
"Su Xuan?"
Mu Chen was startled for a moment and asked in surprise: "The Su Xuan who is ranked 3rd on the Heavenly Ranking?"
Zhou Ling nodded his head. The weight of this name in Hokuang Reiwon was not any weaker than Li Xuantong's.
"Since that Su Xuan is able to possess such fame in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, I believe that she's not a narrow-minded person. It's only normal for her to change her ranking."
Mu Chen smiled. After this, he would try his best to break through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage. Once he reached the Heavenly Fusion Stage, he would no longer be able to break through to the Spirit Ranking. Therefore, this was his last chance.
After all, becoming the 1st position on the Spirit Ranking would definitely give him a lot of Spiritual Value Points. For Mu Chen, who was trying his best to gather Spiritual Value Points, it was a huge temptation.
When Zhou Ling heard this, he did not say anything else. If Mu Chen was able to become the 1st position on the Spirit Ranking, it would be a great advertisement for the Goddess Luo Association. At that time, their fame would rise to a whole new level.
Mu Chen slowly closed his eyes. Then, Zhou Ling and the others saw a pitch-black Spiritual Energy being emitted from Mu Chen's body like thick smoke. His body slowly rose and a Spiritual Energy pressure quietly spread out.
Around the lake, the members of the Goddess Luo Association also noticed this and immediately looked over curiously.
Under the numerous gazes, Mu Chen's body floated in the air. After a brief moment, he opened his eyes. Within his black pupils, a brilliance flashed. For the past few days, there hadn't been any fluctuations in his Spiritual Energy. However, at this moment, it was like an awakened lion, revealing its extraordinary might.
Boom!
The pitch-black Spiritual Energy crazily gathered at the center of Mu Chen's palm. From afar, it looked like a large ball of ink was surging. The black light flickered and it continued to drip down.
Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the huge stone tablet in the distance. He immediately took a deep breath and clenched his fist. Then, he slowly punched out.
Bang!
As Mu Chen slowly punched out, the air in front of him seemed to explode. Black light surged and four black light seals appeared. They immediately turned into a black ray of light and fiercely bombarded the Spiritual Value Card in front of Mu Chen.
Swoosh!
The black ray of light bombarded the Spiritual Value Card. The Spiritual Value Card suddenly burst out with a bright light. Then, the light soared up and turned into a beam of light that flew across the sky. Finally, under the countless gazes, it bombarded the huge stone tablet that recorded the Spirit Ranking.
Buzz!
That stone tablet seemed to tremble at this moment. Soon after, a peculiar buzzing sound rippled outwards. Golden light erupted, appearing just like a rising sun.
The strange scene on the Spirit Ranking immediately attracted the attention of countless students in Hokuang Reiwon. They were stunned as they looked at the Spirit Ranking. Then, they saw the name on the 3rd position of the Spirit Ranking suddenly burst out with a golden light. It was as if a new sun had risen from the heavens and the earth. It rose up and swept up. The name that had firmly occupied the Spirit Ranking for an entire year was actually erased.
Dong!
The stone tablet buzzed and issued a strange sound. It was as if it was announcing that the King of the Spirit Ranking had been replaced by a new King.
The new golden light occupied the top position of the Spirit Ranking. As the light slowly faded away, two golden words were revealed.
Spirit Ranking Rank 1, Mu Chen!
Within Hokuang Reiwon, countless pairs of eyes stared at the unfamiliar name that appeared at the top of the Spirit Ranking. After a moment of silence, surprised voices could be heard from everywhere.
But this time, there weren't too many people that were surprised by this. After all, after the battle at the Freshmen Competition, this name had already begun to be known by some of the seniors. They knew that this freshman called Mu Chen possessed a powerful strength that even they had to pay attention to.
However, this brat was pretty powerful. He actually kicked Su Ling 'er off the stage so rudely. That little grandaunt wasn't a gentle person. She and her elder sister were two completely different people.
It was unknown how Su Ling Er would frown when she saw herself being kicked off the 1st position of the Spirit Ranking. Then, she would grit her teeth and curse that brat.
While they were secretly laughing, they also stared at the name. After a long time, they sighed and shook their heads. This freshman was really dazzling. Perhaps, in the future, Hokuang Reiwon would become different because of this name.
(Third update!
I'm sweating to death. I'm still more than 30 votes away from the top. No matter what, I can't surpass it.
Everyone, give it your all!
