The Northern Spiritual Field was located in the northwest direction of the Northern Spiritual Realm. It was about a day's journey from the Northern Spiritual Academy. This vast area was considered to be a bustling place within the Northern Spiritual Realm. Although the Northern Spiritual Field was filled with dangers, dangers were often accompanied by opportunities. Many people entered the Northern Spiritual Field in order to obtain these opportunities. Some of these people obtained opportunities, while others were buried under the rotten leaves.
Going to the Northern Spiritual Field to train was considered to be a rather important matter within the Northern Spiritual Academy. Nearly half of the Heaven Class students would participate. This was because they knew that they, who usually quietly trained within the academy, needed actual combat.
Only through actual combat could a person's mind be tempered to become more tenacious. This was something that was indispensable on the road to becoming a powerhouse.
Not only was the Northern Spiritual Field filled with various Spiritual Beasts, but there were also people from all walks of life mixed in. Among them, there was no lack of notorious people.
Compared to these ruthless characters whose hands were stained with blood, the Northern Spiritual Academy students were like lambs. Even if they weren't weak, they might not be able to fight against these ruthless characters if they were to fight.
Therefore, in order to protect the students, the Northern Spiritual Academy had also sent out a rather tyrannical guard force. The East Branch's Teacher Mo and the West Branch's Teacher Xi would also follow along. These were two genuine Spirit Stage powerhouses. There wouldn't be anyone who would dare to have any ill intentions in front of these two Spirit Stage powerhouses.
In the early morning, the Northern Spiritual Academy's Training Team began to move. Only when it was almost evening did they gradually arrive at the outskirts of the Northern Spiritual Field. Because it was getting late, they set up camp on the spot.
It was obvious that the Northern Spiritual Academy students rarely came to this kind of place. Therefore, many of them were a bit excited. The entire camp was shrouded in a lively atmosphere. This kind of liveliness caused many people to look over in the darkness. Most of them were Adventurers. They knew that these were the hotheads from the Northern Spiritual Academy. They curled their lips in the darkness and gradually left.
In their eyes, these obedient children from the students would probably tremble in fear when they face the fierce Spiritual Beasts.
Mu Chen sat cross-legged next to the campfire. He stared at the darkness outside of the camp. In the distant depths, there seemed to be various bloody beast roars echoing.
This scene was somewhat familiar.
However, compared to the Spiritual Road in his memory, the atmosphere here was much less cruel and bloody.
While Mu Chen was in a slight daze, a slender and slender hand suddenly reached out from behind and patted his shoulder.
Just as the jade-like hand landed on Mu Chen's shoulder, his black pupils instantly turned cold. His entire body tensed up like a cheetah that was about to pounce on its prey. His hand extended out with lightning like speed and tightly grabbed the jade-like hand.
"Ouch."
A cry of pain rang out and Mu Chen finally woke up. He turned around and stared at Tang Qian 'Er behind him. The coldness in his eyes quickly disappeared and he awkwardly scratched his head. He quickly let go of his hand.
"What are you doing?
It hurts. "Tang Qian'er angrily sat down next to Mu Chen. She rubbed her wrist and complained.
"I'm sorry."
Mu Chen let out a bitter smile. The year of experience in the Spiritual Road had made his body instinctively vigilant. Originally, this instinctive vigilance had been suppressed by him after he returned to the Northern Spiritual Realm. However, when he was suddenly in this familiar environment, this vigilance was awakened again.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Qian'er pouted and her beautiful eyes stared at Mu Chen. After all, girls were meticulous. When Mu Chen grabbed her wrist earlier, she felt a chill in her heart. She felt that if it was not for the cry of pain, Mu Chen would have crushed her wrist.
Mu Chen looked at the campfire in front of him and went silent for a moment. Then, he said: "In the Spiritual Road, if someone else did what you did to me just now, I might have killed them. Because if I didn't do it, I might have been the one killed."
Tang Qian'er was stunned. She looked at the calm boy. When he said the word "kill", his expression did not change much. It was as if he was used to it.
"The Spiritual Road sounds a bit scary."
Tang Qian'er muttered. In their eyes, the Spiritual Road was a bit mysterious. It was said that many people who came out of the Spiritual Road would not talk about it. However, because most of the people who came out of the Spiritual Road were extremely strong, it caused young boys and girls like Tang Qian'er to yearn for that place.
However, they were naive and did not know that in order to possess abnormal strength, one must come out of an abnormal place.
Mu Chen gently smiled and muttered to himself: "In that place, everyone is considered a competitor. Moreover, it is a very cruel kind. There are some abnormal people there. They might be smiling at you one moment, but in the next moment, a dagger would be stabbing into your chest."
"So, in that place, trust is a very rare thing. However, if you can really meet it, it will be something that you will cherish for the rest of your life."
Mu Chen gently exhaled a mouthful of air. His expression turned gentle as he recalled the silver-haired girl. She was a pervert that gave him a headache. During the half a year that she had chased after him, Mu Chen had fought with her three times and won two of them. However, the girl had turned the situation around in the last fight. The black longsword was like a specter in the night as it stopped at his throat.
This time, it was obvious that she won. Moreover, it was a complete victory. Because at that time, she only needed to stab lightly and Mu Chen would remain in the Spiritual Road forever.
However, in the end, she did not stab down. In the darkness, her glass-like eyes stared at him for a long time. Then, she slowly withdrew her sword and said in a low voice: "I won't kill you. Come with me."
At that time, Mu Chen was clearly stunned for a long time. Then, he asked the question that made him so depressed for the past half a year that he wanted to vomit blood: "Why did you chase after me for so long?
If I did not save you, you would already be dead. "
The first time he saw her, she had fallen into a hopeless situation. Five similarly cunning and perverted fellows had nearly pushed her to the brink of death. Originally, Mu Chen didn't intend to take action, as those fellows were also very troublesome. However, perhaps it was because of the sadness that was revealed within her glass-like pupils, which made his heart soften.
He had saved her, but he had also provoked the five troublemakers. In the following week, Mu Chen had brought the injured her and started to escape. However, ten days later, he had defeated the five troublemakers one after another. Three of them had died, while the other two had given up.
However, after dealing with those five troublesome people, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the girl, who had not spoken a single word to him all this time, began to draw her sword. After that, they began to fight and chase each other for half a year.
When the girl heard Mu Chen's question, she seemed to think for a moment. Then, she hesitantly gave an answer that made Mu Chen want to vomit blood: "I don't want to have a good impression of you. I only want to cultivate. Having a good impression of you will only distract me."
"You're crazy."
At that moment, even with Mu Chen's calmness, he could not help but blurt out these words.
"Then what are you doing now?" Mu Chen asked somewhat powerlessly.
"Just now, I wanted to kill you, but it seems that I can't bring myself to do it."
The girl seriously considered it. The faint moonlight shone on her small face, which was enough to cause the downfall of countries and people in the future. Then, she furrowed her brows and said: "I feel that after half a year, I still have a good impression of you."
Mu Chen was speechless. We've been chasing each other for half a year, and you're actually able to have a good impression of me?
"I didn't kill you earlier, so you owe me a life. So you have to team up with me. When I no longer have a good impression of you, I'll kill you."
"You're raising a puppy?"
"Then I won't kill you at that time. I'll let you go."
"…" Mu Chen helplessly shook his head as he turned around and left. "Not interested."
The girl looked at Mu Chen, who had turned around, and said softly after a brief hesitation, "I can block all arrows that come from behind for you. As long as you don't hurt me, I will protect you, whether it's in the Spiritual Road or in the Great Thousand World."
Mu Chen's footsteps stopped. The girl's soft voice seemed to have penetrated through space, and suddenly heavily smashed into his heart, causing his gaze to quietly soften.
"You usually don't speak, but when you do, it's so touching."
Mu Chen turned around and smiled. Then, he sighed and walked back, extending his hand towards her.
"Then, let's have a happy cooperation."
The girl's usually calm and emotionless face also revealed a faint smile at this moment. In that instant, her beauty had actually caused the moonlight to dim down.
After that, she extended her ice-cold hand and gently shook Mu Chen's hand.
This is my promise to you.
