Within the Rank 5 Spirit Convergence Array, the appearance of Li Xuantong and Xu Huang, as well as the confrontation between them, quickly spread throughout the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. The two of them were undeniably influential figures. Their fame and reputation were many times stronger than the current Mu Chen. Any news related to them would attract countless amounts of attention.
The top ten of the Hokuang Reiwon Heavenly Ranking were all extremely formidable figures. This was something that everyone was well aware of. Generally speaking, it was extremely rare for the top ten super fierce figures to take action against each other. That was because they knew that the other party wasn't someone to be trifled with. Therefore, they could be considered to be harmonious with each other, as long as there wasn't any special reason.
Li Xuantong and Xu Huang, one was ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, while the other was ranked fifth. Both of them possessed the strength to step into the Heavenly Transformation Stage. Not to mention Hokuang Reiwon, even within the Northern Heavens Continent, such strength could be considered as experts. In some sects or powers, they could be considered as existences close to the upper echelons.
If the two of them were to face each other, it would definitely shake the entire Hokuang Reiwon. However, what caused people to feel somewhat regretful was that the two of them did not take action. Seeing Li Xuantong appear, Xu Huang brought his people and retreated. Although he said that he was giving face to Li Xuantong, there was clearly some fear within his words. Continuing to tangle with them would be of no use. Therefore, it was better for him to leave in a carefree manner.
Therefore, this confrontation ended without a conclusion. This caused many people to feel slightly disappointed. However, their disappointment only lasted for a day, before they were shocked by the news that spread like a storm from Hokuang Reiwon.
Li Xuantong had issued a battle invitation to Mu Chen.
This news had spread in the short span of a few hours.
It had spread to every corner of Hokuang Reiwon. All of the students who had received this news were stunned for a moment.
They were stunned for a moment. Then, they touched their ears, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
Li Xuantong, ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, had issued a battle invitation to a new student?
What kind of situation was this?
Who was Li Xuantong?
Who was Mu Chen?
He was a high and mighty figure who was ranked second on the Heaven Leaderboard. He was a new student who had just entered Hokuang Reiwon a few months ago.
But how could he be compared to someone like Li Xuantong?
How could such a bizarre duel occur?
And it was Li Xuantong who took the initiative to do it?
At this moment, the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy erupted into a heaven-shaking uproar. This could be considered as one of the most peculiar matters in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy this year. It was extremely rare for Li Xuantong to take action. No one would have thought that, this time, he would actually choose a Freshman as his opponent. Did he want to enjoy the thrill of crushing someone?
But no matter how they guessed.
After all, the news had spread. This caused some ripples to form in their hearts towards the new student called Mu Chen. They did not know how this fellow had offended Li Xuantong and actually caused the latter to issue such a challenge.
In the end, this battle invitation would most likely become a boring farce.
This kind of battle had no suspense at all.
However, to be able to see the super ferocious person ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, who had not made a move for a long time, once again make a move was pretty good.
Hopefully, the new student ranked first wouldn't be so dispirited because of this.
Somewhere in Hokuang Reiwon, in a large hall.
Xu Huang slightly frowned as he listened to the report from the people below. With some doubt, he softly said, "Li Xuantong actually issued a battle invitation to Mu Chen?
Didn't he just help them? "
Beside Xu Huang was Xu Qingqing, who rejoiced in Li Xuantong's misfortune. When she heard the news, she couldn't help but laugh. Clenching her teeth, she said, "Big Brother, that Li Xuantong is clearly interested in that Luo Li. Furthermore, Luo Li clearly likes Mu Chen. Yesterday, Li Xuantong only took action because of Luo Li. There isn't any friendship between him and Mu Chen."
Xu Huang faintly nodded his head. What she said made sense. Luo Li was indeed extremely outstanding. Regardless of appearance or temperament, he could be considered to be at the peak of Hokuang Reiwon. The only one who could compare to him was perhaps Su Xuan. However, compared to Luo Li, one was as gentle as water, while the other was tranquil and distant. Their temperaments were completely different.
"I'm afraid that Mu Chen will lose all his face this time," Xu Huang said indifferently.
There wasn't much suspense in this kind of battle. As long as Li Xuantong wanted to, he would be able to suppress Mu Chen to the point of being as miserable as a dog. Furthermore, Mu Chen was clearly a prideful person. After suffering such a blow, he would probably always be under the shadow of that kind of suppression in the future.
"Serves him right!"
Xu Qingqing said hatefully. She was somewhat impatient to see the crushing battle two days later. She definitely wanted to see if that fellow would still reveal that indifferent expression that made her furious when he was being trampled under someone's foot.
Xu Huang held onto his teacup and lightly took a sip. His gaze was indifferent as he smiled.
"Two days later, let's go watch a show. Although the result will be a little boring."
"That Li Xuantong is too much. He can even send out such a battle invitation!"
On a small island in the middle of a lake in Hokuang Reiwon, Su Ling 'er looked at the red battle invitation that spread out in her jade-like hand. Her eyebrows immediately knitted together as she spoke up for Mu Chen.
Beside the lake in front of Su Ling 'er, there was a slender figure. Her fine black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. At this moment, she was washing a round jade bead that flickered with a faint light. On the surface of the jade bead, there were mysterious patterns. Faintly, an obscure Spiritual Energy fluctuation was emitted from it.
When she heard Su Ling 'er's voice from behind, she slightly turned her head, revealing a gentle and beautiful face. Puzzled, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Big Sister, that Li Xuantong is too much. He actually sent a battle invitation to Mu Chen!"
Su Ling 'er fumed. What kind of strength did Li Xuantong have? What kind of strength did Mu Chen have? This battle invitation was simply bullying.
"Oh?
How could that be? "
Su Xuan's beautiful eyes flashed with astonishment. Li Xuantong was also a prideful person. He would rarely bully the weak. How could it be this time?
"It's said that Li Xuantong likes Luo Li, and Luo Li likes Mu Chen. Then, Li Xuantong became jealous. That's how it is." Su Ling 'er slightly curled her lips as she spoke.
Su Xuan looked at Su Ling 'er strangely.
She felt that there was something wrong with her tone, but she still shook her head.
She said, "I understand Li Xuantong's character. Even if he was jealous, he wouldn't use such a method. He should have his own reasons for doing this."
"No matter what the reason is, sending out such a battle invitation is bullying," Su Ling 'er said.
"Li Xuantong has already stepped into the Heavenly Transformation Stage. Mu Chen is only at the Heavenly Fusion Stage Initial Stage.
How could he possibly win? "
Su Xuan couldn't help but smile. Her smile was gentle and moving as she said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to find trouble with Mu Chen?
Why are you speaking up for him now? "
Su Ling 'er's face reddened as she muttered, "Mu Chen's character is passable. I didn't know him before, but this time, we can be considered friends. We can barely be considered friends.
Of course I'll think for him. Moreover, he's the weaker party. If I don't help him, am I supposed to help Li Xuantong? "
Su Xuan put away the smooth and ancient jade bead in her hand and said, "The battle invitation has already been sent out. This matter is a foregone conclusion.
It's useless to say anything, unless Mu Chen doesn't accept the battle invitation. However, if he doesn't accept, others will take it for granted. "
"Impossible." Su Ling 'er immediately shook her head and said, "That guy looks gentle.
In fact, he's very proud. He even sent out such a battle invitation.
Even if he knows that he'll lose, he'll still accept it. "
"Then there's no other way."
Su Xuan shook her head and said, "Right now, we can only wait two days and see what the situation is."
Su Ling 'er also sighed. This was the only way now. She hoped that Mu Chen could withstand this blow. In fact, losing to Li Xuantong wasn't that shameful.
At the same time, in other areas of the Hokuang Reiwon, those who could be considered influential figures in the Hokuang Reiwon were also shocked by the battle invitation. They were a little surprised. Li Xuantong, who hadn't fought for a long time, actually chose a freshman this time?
This was interesting. Two days later, they could go take a look and treat it as entertainment.
"This is too much. This Li Xuantong is simply bullying others. Brother Mu, ignore him. We won't accept this battle invitation!"
In the freshman area, there was already an uproar. In the square, Zhou Ling and the rest were full of anger. In their hands, there was a red battle invitation.
"That's right, brother Mu. We won't accept this battle invitation. No one will say that we're weak!" Someone echoed.
In the center of the crowd, Mu Chen was also flipping through the battle invitation in his hand. His expression didn't show much surprise. Obviously, he had already expected that Li Xuantong would personally take action when he said that he would take action.
Beside Mu Chen, Luo Li's delicate face was slightly cold. She turned around to look for Li Xuantong, but Mu Chen grabbed her hand.
"You don't have to interfere in this matter. Let me handle it," Mu Chen looked at Luo Li. Although his voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable seriousness and determination.
Luo Li bit her red lips. This Li Xuantong wasn't Yang Hong. There was no fairness in this battle. However, when she looked into Mu Chen's eyes and saw that the latter's expression was very serious, Luo Li knew that Mu Chen wouldn't change his answer or accept this matter.
"After this matter is over, I will look for him again."
Luo Li finally said. She respected Mu Chen's choice, but at the same time, there were areas where she couldn't be touched. Li Xuantong had repeatedly interfered in her matters, and had crossed some of her bottom lines, even though she understood that perhaps he didn't have bad intentions.
Mu Chen helplessly smiled, but didn't say anything more. He turned his head to look at the nervous Zhou Ling. He knew that there were probably countless people in the Hokuang Reiwon looking in their direction, waiting for his answer.
Mu Chen held the blood-red battle invitation between his two fingers. Black flames rose from between them, burning the battle invitation to ashes. At the same time, his gentle voice slowly rang out from within the black flames.
"Zhou Ling, spread the news. I accept this battle invitation."
