On the way back, the members of the Goddess Luo Association were extremely excited, so much so that their faces were flushed red. Previously, because of the Demon's Gate, everyone had been suppressing their anger in their hearts. At the same time, they also felt a little guilty. Although Luo Li was the strongest amongst them, she was, after all, a girl. There were so many of them, but in the end, a girl had to step forward. Furthermore, Luo Li was even injured by the shameless tactics of the other party. This made them feel extremely ashamed.
But fortunately, Mu Chen had returned. Facing the shamelessness and strength of the Demon's Gate, he did not choose to keep the peace. Instead, he exceeded everyone's expectations and used the most shocking method to ascend the headquarters of the Demon's Gate, returning everything that the other party had done to them.
Even now, the previous scene still made everyone's hearts filled with excitement. Even someone as strong as He Yao was forced to the point that he did not dare to act rashly. He could only watch the ten Spiritual Arrays wreaking havoc.
In the entire Hokuang Reiwon, there weren't many people that could force He Yao to this step. Furthermore, as a freshman, Mu Chen was the only one that could do it.
This achievement wasn't any inferior to the agreement of three moves that he had with Li Xuantong.
When Mu Chen saw everyone's excited expressions, he only smiled. His gaze turned towards the black-clothed girl that was following him. The latter only used a gentle and tranquil gaze to look at him. Her glass-like pupils seemed to be rippling like autumn water.
Seeing him look over, Luo Li also gave him a faint smile. Her smile was clear and gentle, causing Mu Chen's heart to soften.
"Are you injured?"
Luo Li softly asked. She naturally knew how difficult it was for Mu Chen to fight today. It was absolutely not inferior to the intense battle he had with Li Xuantong. However, the current Mu Chen was much stronger than back then.
Mu Chen shook his head.
Previously, he had mostly borrowed the power from the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl. It was just that entering the Heart Array State had consumed some of his energy. In terms of fatigue, he was naturally not as tired as that day.
However, the commotion today had slightly exceeded his expectations. At the beginning, he had indeed prepared ten Rank 3 Spiritual Arrays. However, he did not have much hope of activating all of them. After all, the difficulty was not small. However, when he was immersed in the Heart Array State …
This kind of exquisite control allowed him to activate all ten Spiritual Arrays as he wished.
"It seems like my control over the Heart's Matrix State has deepened." Mu Chen was deep in thought. Currently, he was very familiar with and had control over the Heart's Matrix State.
Clearly, he had far surpassed his previous self.
In terms of Spiritual Array cultivation, he indeed possessed astonishing talent.
However, although the might of today's attack was extraordinary, it required a long period of meticulous preparation. Those Spiritual Arrays had to be inscribed well in advance.
All his previous efforts would be wasted.
"Mu Chen."
A voice suddenly rang out from behind. Mu Chen's footsteps paused. Turning his head, he saw Su Xuan, Su Ling 'er and the rest rushing over.
"Senior sister Su Xuan." Upon seeing this, Mu Chen hurriedly smiled.
He quickly smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your help earlier."
Although he was not afraid of He Yao flipping out earlier, he was extremely grateful that Su Xuan had appeared to help him.
"You still know how to thank me? After helping you, you turned around and ran away." Su Ling 'er snorted.
Mu Chen gave an awkward smile.
He just did not want to continue staying there. The surrounding gazes made him feel a little uncomfortable.
With a soft cough, he hurriedly introduced Luo Li.
"Haha, I've long heard of you. Little sister Luo Li is currently ranked fifteenth on the Heavenly Ranking. Her fame in Hokuang Reiwon is even greater than yours." Su Xuan sized up Luo Li with a faint smile.
When Chen Hou and the rest came to the Goddess Luo Association to cause trouble and were defeated by Luo Li, her ranking on the Heavenly Ranking had risen to fifteenth. However, Luo Li did not feel anything about it. She did not care about the Heavenly Ranking. She only accepted the challenge because others had come looking for her.
Luo Li was a little embarrassed as he replied, "Senior sister Su Xuan, you flatter me."
The friendship between girls came quickly. Facing the outstanding temperament of Luo Li, even the frosty Li Qing revealed a faint smile. The two of them quickly became familiar with each other.
"You have to be careful of He Yao."
Su Xuan looked at Mu Chen with a grave expression. "He Yao's schemes run deep. If I'm not wrong, he should be hiding his strength."
Mu Chen was slightly startled, before nodding his head with a stern expression. In fact, it wasn't only Su Xuan who had such a feeling. Even he had felt it. He could feel some dangerous fluctuations coming from He Yao's body. That fellow was rather threatening.
"But he's still not willing to reveal his strength even after being forced to this step by me." Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. Just what was that fellow planning?
"The Hunting War will begin next month." Su Xuan lightly smiled.
"You're saying that he intends to reveal his true strength during the Hunting War?"
Mu Chen was surprised. Shortly after, his eyes flickered as he said, "He's planning to surpass you in the Hunting War, right?"
"I'm afraid that I'm not his true target." Su Xuan replied.
"His target is Li Xuantong?"
Mu Chen was slightly startled. So this He Yao was aiming for Li Xuantong. No wonder he was unwilling to reveal his strength. From the looks of it, he was afraid that Li Xuantong had already made preparations.
"He Yao is arrogant, and is unwilling to fall behind others. The Hunting War is a grand occasion of our Hokuang Reiwon. If he surpasses Li Xuantong in this, his reputation in Hokuang Reiwon will surpass that of Li Xuantong, and directly catch up to Shen Cangsheng." Su Xuan said.
Mu Chen's expression was somewhat grave. He had crossed hands with Li Xuantong before, and naturally knew how formidable that fellow was. If He Yao truly had the confidence to take action against Li Xuantong, he would definitely have a tyrannical trump card that could not be underestimated.
As of now, the relationship between him and He Yao was like fire and water. Once the Hunting War began, he would definitely be included in He Yao's list of targets. At that time, the latter would obviously not have the slightest bit of concealment.
During the Hunting War, everything depended on the truth. At that time, if Su Xuan were to appear and help him, he would instead become a laughing stock.
Mu Chen's eyes faintly narrowed. He recalled He Yao's dark and gloomy gaze. Soon after, he smiled and said, "Senior sister Su Xuan, I understand."
Since he had already done such a thing, he would not regret it. Regardless of how much that He Yao had concealed, it would not be that easy if he thought that he could easily suppress him like this.
Su Xuan faintly nodded her head. It was enough to give him a reminder. Although He Yao was formidable, the youth in front of her was not that easy to deal with. She would only know what would happen if they truly clashed.
The group chatted for a while more, before Su Xuan and the rest left. Looking at their departing figures, Mu Chen faintly sank into contemplation.
"What do you plan to do?
Are you going to participate in the Hunting War? "Luo Li looked towards Mu Chen and asked.
"The Hunting War has so many benefits, I naturally have to participate."
Mu Chen smiled. That "Spiritual Light Empowerment" was obviously extremely beneficial to one's cultivation. If he were to give it up, the loss would be too great.
"That He Yao."
Luo Li slightly hesitated. Once he participated in the Hunting War, there would no longer be so many rules. Other than not being able to kill, even if he heavily injured someone, there would not be the slightest violation of the rules.
He Yao's schemes ran deep. Obviously, he was not a simple person. Facing such an opponent, one must maintain vigilance and caution. If not, he might be like a venomous snake hiding in the dark, and stealthily launch a fatal attack.
"Relax. Although that He Yao has concealed his strength, it's not that easy for me to deal with him." Mu Chen smiled and said, "Furthermore, isn't there still a month's time?
During this month, I plan to enter the Lightning Region to train and make some preparations for the Hunting War. "
Currently, he had obtained the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl, but he had yet to fully comprehend the mysteries within it. Since he had the time now, he could properly study it. Who knows, it might allow his strength to rise again.
In the Hunting War, there would definitely be many dark horses. In addition to a strong opponent like He Yao, if he were to be negligent, he might really be left far behind. This was clearly not a situation that he was willing to see.
"Then I'll accompany you at that time." Luo Li smiled.
Hearing that, Mu Chen couldn't help smiling and said, "That's a bit like a gentleman wielding his sword and killing in all directions. I'll play the zither and follow my husband's ups and downs."
Luo Li's exquisite face flushed red. He lightly glared at Mu Chen, then quickly left with Ye Qingling.
Mu Chen laughed, then quickly chased after them with the members of the Goddess Luo Association.
When Mu Chen and the rest left, He Yao's eyes were abnormally dark as he looked at the ruins of the Demon's Gate's headquarters in a messy plaza.
"Boss."
Behind them, Chen Hou and the others had ugly expressions on their faces. Today, Mu Chen had come knocking on their door. For their Demon Gate, it was a huge loss of face.
"Boss, if you make a move, how can that brat be so arrogant?"
Chen Hou said in a low voice. After all, he was a core member of the Demon's Gate. Naturally, he knew some of He Yao's background.
He Yao looked at him indifferently, and coldly said: "My opponent is Li Xuantong. A freshman is not worthy of me revealing my strength."
"But are we going to let that kid go just like that?
Chen Hou said unwillingly.
"Bang!
“
As his voice rang out, a dark and ruthless glint flashed within He Yao's eyes. Furiously sending a palm patting out, surging Spiritual Energy transformed into a gigantic waterfall, instantly sweeping away the ruins. All of the giant rocks were instantly turned into dust.
That scene caused all the members of the Demon's Gate to keep quiet out of fear.
"Don't worry. Wait until the Hunting War. I will make that brat kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness for what he did today. He's just a little freshman. Does he really think that he can jump on top of me, He Yao? What a reckless thing!"
"Now, let him be happy for a month.
“
He indifferently waved his sleeves, then turned around and left. His cold voice hovered in the ears of Chen Hou and the rest, filled with killing intent.
