Rumble!
The heavens and earth darkened as the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth frantically gathered. Everyone around the stage raised their heads and looked at the sky with a trace of shock in their eyes.
Wind and clouds gathered there. Amidst the churning wind and clouds, an incomparably huge light array was gradually taking shape. The light array was extremely complicated. The lines of light that outlined it were like a masterpiece of nature, as if it was formed by the heavens.
"He can actually arrange a Spiritual Array of this level!"
Countless people stared blankly at the complicated light array, their eyes filled with disbelief. This array had already surpassed the scope of a Rank 3 Spiritual Array. Could it be that Mu Chen had actually reached the level of a Rank 4 Spiritual Array Master?
Among all the students in Hokuang Reiwon, there were very few Spiritual Array Masters of that level. Yet, Mu Chen had actually reached it?
"It's the Heart Array State!"
Su Xuan's beautiful eyes were filled with seriousness. She looked at the slender figure in the sky, and a trace of splendor flashed across her eyes. She softly said, "He can actually control the Heart Array State, and I'm afraid it's not just the Elementary Heart Array State!"
Su Ling 'er, who was standing to the side, was secretly shocked. She naturally knew how important the Heart Array State was to a Spiritual Array Master. Normally, only a Rank 3 Spiritual Array Master had the qualifications to comprehend the Heart Array State, which allowed one to control everything in the palm of one's hand. Furthermore, the Heart Array State was also divided into three levels: High, Middle, and Low. Among the students in Hokuang Reiwon who also cultivated in Spiritual Arrays, there were very few who could comprehend the Heart Array State. The number of people who wanted to reach the Middle or Higher Level of the Heart Array State would not exceed the fingers on one hand!
"Just how many tricks does this guy have up his sleeves?" Su Ling 'er murmured.
This seemingly gentle youth was like a bottomless pit, unfathomable and unfathomable.
"This is going to be a little interesting."
Su Xuan softly smiled.
Even Li Xuantong would have a headache dealing with a Spiritual Array of this level. This time, Mu Chen was really putting his life on the line.
However, to be able to force Li Xuantong to such a state with the strength of an Initial Phase Heavenly Fusion Stage was indeed quite amazing.
He Yao and Xu Huang, on the other hand, were somewhat expressionless. Originally, in their eyes, Li Xuantong was just an insignificant freshman. The majority of the reason why they had come here today was because of Li Xuantong. However, they never imagined that this insignificant freshman would now …
It gave them a sense of danger.
And they would never forget.
Right now, Mu Chen.
Moreover, he was only a new student. If he was allowed to train in Hokuang Reiwon for a year, he would not be able to do so.
Wouldn't his achievements at this time directly surpass them?
This kid.
He couldn't be underestimated.
While the entire place was shaken by the appearance of the enormous array in the sky, Li Xuantong also raised his head and stared at the sky. Light shone in his eyes, flickering with a dark and gloomy light.
He did not speak any further, causing others to be unable to guess what he was thinking in his heart. However, both of his hands had already left his sleeves, while astonishing Spiritual Energy started to ripple around his body.
Clearly, he no longer had the calmness of being in control at the beginning. The current Mu Chen was beyond his control and expectations.
"Come, let me see your true abilities."
He murmured in his heart. His gaze grew sharper and sharper, as if it was going to pierce through space and land on Mu Chen's body.
Hu.
Under Li Xuantong's blade-like gaze, Mu Chen deeply exhaled a mouthful of white air. His face grew increasingly pale. Shortly after, his hands formed a seal and abruptly changed.
Bang.
In the sky, the gigantic light array furiously erupted with a thunderous roar. Light that blotted the sky surged and condensed, gradually forming into a gigantic black lotus that was a few hundred feet in size.
The black lotus floated in the sky as it slowly revolved. As it revolved, even space itself seemed to distort.
This Spiritual Array was naturally the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array. Back in the Northern Spiritual Realm, Mu Chen had relied on this Spiritual Array to instantly kill Liu Jingshan. However, at that time, he was only at the Spiritual Rotation Stage and was unable to touch the true might of this Spiritual Array. Even after borrowing the power of the Jiu You Sparrow, he was only barely able to display it. As his strength increased, he was able to comprehend some of the profoundness of this Spiritual Array.
Back then, his eyesight was lacking, and he had only treated the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array as a Rank 3 Spiritual Array. However, now that Mu Chen had advanced to a Rank 3 Spiritual Array Master, he was able to realise that his understanding of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was too shallow.
From the black scroll that he had obtained back then, the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array that he had set up was only a portion of the Spiritual Array. One day, when Mu Chen's strength was sufficient, he would be able to completely set up this Spiritual Array. At that time, its might would definitely be earth-shattering.
However, right now, this portion of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was already his limit.
Mu Chen's face grew increasingly pale as a feeling of weakness surged within his body. This time, he did not borrow the power of the Jiu You Sparrow, but relied on himself to truly set up the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array.
"Go."
He extended his hand and gently waved it. The incomparably large black lotus instantly shook, before shooting out in a straight line with a black streak of light. As it flew out, the tightly shut petals of the lotus slowly blossomed.
The Spiritual Energy ripples between the heavens and earth became even more violent.
"Humm humm."
As the black lotus blossomed, the heart of the lotus slowly aimed towards Li Xuantong below. A strange black liquid flowed down from the petals of the black lotus, converging towards the heart of the lotus.
Black rays of light sizzled as they converged at the heart of the lotus. A scalp-numbing Spiritual Energy ripple violently rippled out.
Whoosh!
When the intensity of the black light reached its limit, the black lotus fiercely trembled. In the next instant, countless people saw a black beam of light seemingly piercing through the heavens and earth as it shot down. It was like a black dragon made of liquid, brandishing its claws and baring its fangs as it tore through space!
Boom!
The Battle Stage, which was already crisscrossed with ravines, finally couldn't endure it any longer and collapsed layer by layer. However, Li Xuantong did not move a single inch as he raised his head to look at the black beam of light that pierced through space. His fair and slender hands came together once again as a low and deep voice slowly resounded.
"Profound Sky Divine Technique.
Profound Sky Compass! "
Humm!
A dazzling green light spread out before Li Xuantong. As the light condensed, it had actually transformed into a green light compass that was roughly a hundred feet in size.
When the compass appeared, even the air seemed to have frozen.
"Li Xuantong's strongest defensive Profound Sky Compass?" Su Xuan, He Yao, Xu Huang and the rest looked at the green light compass.
Everyone's eyes narrowed. Li Xuantong had actually been forced to this step.
When the green light compass condensed, it shot out under countless gazes. In the end, it brazenly collided with the black beam of light that was descending from the sky!
Boom!
In that instant of impact, the dazzling light was like a dazzling sun.
It covered all of the radiance.
Everyone was so pierced that they had to close their eyes.
But even so, their eyes still felt piercing pain.
Boom!
The light burst out, and shortly after, a Spiritual Energy storm that even Su Xuan and the rest had their expressions slightly change.
As if it had taken on a substantial form, it frantically wreaked havoc.
In an instant, the huge Battle Stage, which was several thousand feet in size, completely collapsed. The surrounding Spiritual Energy barrier also emitted creaking sounds as it was torn apart. The visual impact of it being on the verge of shattering caused countless people to be alarmed. If they were affected by the shockwave, even a Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase would be torn to shreds.
The Spiritual Energy storm wreaked havoc on the stage for a few minutes before dissipating under countless shocked gazes.
When the Spiritual Energy storm dissipated, everyone immediately directed their gazes over.
The Battle Stage had already been destroyed, leaving behind a deep crater. In the sky above the Battle Stage, two figures stood in the air.
Mu Chen's face was pale, and the Spiritual Energy ripples around him were rather weak. However, his black pupils were still dazzlingly bright. Looking at Li Xuantong, who was opposite him, he smiled. Even his voice had turned slightly hoarse, "Senior Brother Li Xuantong, can I be considered to have received the third move?"
Li Xuantong blankly looked at his right hand. After a long while, he slowly opened it towards Mu Chen. On his palm, there was a trace of scarlet blood. Clearly, he had also been injured.
Around the Battle Stage, countless people's mouths twitched. They were inwardly shocked. This Mu Chen had actually forced Li Xuantong to the point of being injured.
"You, not bad."
Li Xuantong looked at the pale youth before him, whose eyes were still bright. Finally, he softly sighed.
"You've won the agreement of three moves. Luo Li's eyesight has always been good."
Li Xuantong faintly smiled. With his bearing, he naturally wouldn't deny reality. Furthermore, there were countless people watching. The outcome of this match had already been revealed.
Mu Chen's performance today was enough to shock the entire Hokuang Reiwon.
"Right now, I no longer have the strength to fight. If we were to fight, I wouldn't be your opponent."
Mu Chen softly said. Right now, he had already exhausted all of his strength. In order to withstand Li Xuantong's three moves, he had exhausted all of his means.
"The rules are as such. If we were on the same level, perhaps I wouldn't be your opponent."
Li Xuantong smiled. Then, he looked around the Battle Stage, cupped his hands, and said, "Li Xuantong has lost this match."
His voice resounded in everyone's ears. Everyone's mouths were agape, and their faces were filled with complicated expressions. Clearly, this outcome had exceeded their expectations.
Who would have thought that a Heavenly Fusion Stage Initial Phase freshman would actually win against Li Xuantong?
"Spectacular."
Su Xuan lightly smiled and gave an extremely pertinent evaluation. Then, she gently clapped with her slender jade-like hands, and a crisp sound resounded throughout the entire arena.
Clap Clap!
Immediately after, the sound of clapping resounded like thunder. It was earth-shattering, and it resounded throughout the entire Spirit Battle Stage. Even those outside the Spirit Battle Stage could hear it.
Even the most picky person could only sigh in admiration at this match.
Somewhere in the Spirit Battle Stage, Yang Hong's face was ashen. His clenched fists were trembling, and it was because of the fear that spread from the depths of his heart. The current Mu Chen seemed to have completely surpassed him, and he had no strength to resist.
He looked at the youth's pale face and felt a little helpless. Could it be that only Ji Xuan could suppress him?
Mu Kui and Bing Qing also lightly sighed, and within their sighs, there was a tinge of admiration. Facing the current Mu Chen, even Mu Kui, who was addicted to battle, could not muster up the will to fight. This was because he knew that he would not even be able to withstand the first of the three moves that Mu Chen had used.
"How could this be …" Xu Qingqing's pretty face kept changing. Her body shrunk, and her complexion was somewhat pale. In the depths of her eyes, there was even a trace of fear.
In the sky, when Mu Chen heard the thunderous applause, he felt waves of exhaustion in his mind. His body slightly swayed, and his vision darkened. Then, he fell from the sky.
Swish!
A beautiful figure flashed out from the Spirit Battle Stage. With a twist of her slender waist, she extended her jade-like arms and wrapped them around Mu Chen's waist. Dressed in a black dress, it was Luo Li.
Hugging Mu Chen, she looked at his handsome but pale face, and her heart ached for him. Then, she lifted her glass-like eyes and coldly glanced at Li Xuantong. "I'll settle the score with you later."
Li Xuantong smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders.
Luo Li paid no attention to him as she hugged Mu Chen and turned into a streak of light. Under the countless gazes that were still filled with astonishment, she flew out of the Spirit Battle Arena and quickly disappeared.
