At the most central location of Hokuang Reiwon, was a majestic and vast plaza. This was the extremely famous northern plaza of Hokuang Reiwon. It was said that a long time ago, this was the training ground of the Northern Sea Dragon. However, following the establishment of Hokuang Reiwon, this place was developed into a plaza. Generally speaking, only relatively grand events would be held in this place.
【】
The gathering point of the hunt was this place.
This plaza, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, was currently filled with an endless sea of people. The earth-shaking boiling noises soared into the clouds and could be clearly heard even from a hundred miles away.
When Mu Chen and the rest arrived, they could not help but smack their lips as they gazed at the ocean-like crowd. As expected of Hokuang Reiwon.
Mu Chen and the rest hovered in the air, their gazes looking towards the northern plaza. The front of the plaza was completely empty, completely different from the sea of people at the back. However, regardless of how spacious it was, not a single student dared to step into it.
Within the spacious region, there was a bronze statue of a gigantic creature. It had the body of a Kun, but had dragon claws and a dragon tail, giving it a malevolent and powerful appearance. Even though it was just a statue, it still radiated a frightening pressure. It was precisely this pressure that caused the students to not dare to approach it.
"Is that the guardian divine beast of our Hokuang Reiwon, the Northern Sea Dragon?"
Mu Chen looked towards the statue. Feeling the pressure radiating from it, he could not help but secretly smack his lips. This Northern Sea Dragon was definitely an extremely frightening existence.
"This Northern Sea Dragon possesses an extremely high status in Hokuang Reiwon. Even the Heavenly Seated Elders of the academy have to be respectful and courteous when they meet him." Luo Li said in a soft voice.
Mu Chen nodded his head. The Northern Sea Dragon could be considered as one of the top ranked divine beasts.
Coupled with the fact that he had trained for so many years, his strength would definitely be exceedingly frightening. Within Hokuang Reiwon.
There weren't many who could be stronger than him.
Mu Chen's gaze moved away from the statue of the Northern Sea Dragon and looked towards the other side of the sky.
There was a pair of gloomy eyes staring at him. It was He Yao.
However, faced against He Yao's gloomy gaze, Mu Chen gave a faint smile in response. If it was a month ago, he would still have some fear and dread towards He Yao. However, at this moment, that fear and dread had been completely suppressed.
If they were to really clash, the outcome of the battle would not be completely under He Yao's control.
When He Yao saw Mu Chen's fearless expression, his gaze grew increasingly chilly. Soon after, he coldly retracted his gaze.
But Mu Chen knew.
With this guy's breadth of mind.
It was likely that he would not give up so easily in this Hunting War.
Just as Mu Chen retracted his gaze from He Yao, the sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out from behind him.
There was a familiar fluctuation of spiritual power.
"It's Li Xuantong."
Mu Chen was rather familiar with those Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Without turning his head back, he knew who it was. Slightly tilting his head, he saw Li Xuantong leading a group of people over.
Li Xuantong's figure stopped beside Mu Chen and Luo Li. Looking at Luo Li with a slightly complicated gaze, he turned towards Mu Chen. A sliver of astonishment flashed across his eyes as he said, "You've become slightly stronger."
"If I didn't improve, how would I dare to come here?"
Replied Mu Chen with a smile. There wasn't any arrogance in his words, nor was there any humility. He knew that facing a person like Li Xuantong, if he were to put on a servile attitude, it would instead cause the latter to look down on him.
"Looks like you're going to participate in the Hunting War," said Li Xuantong with a faint smile. "If we meet in the Hunting War, I won't talk about the agreement of three moves."
"That's my intention as well." Mu Chen also stared at Li Xuantong as he nodded his head.
When the students behind Li Xuantong saw Mu Chen's unyielding attitude towards Li Xuantong, they were a little unhappy. In their view, although Mu Chen had received three moves from Li Xuantong, it wasn't enough for him to think that he was qualified to be on equal footing with Li Xuantong.
However, although they were unhappy, they didn't say anything in the end. They only looked at Mu Chen with unkind gazes, as if they were telling him off.
"I will also participate in the Hunting War with him. If we meet, it's a good opportunity for me to learn from him," said Luo Li in a gentle voice.
Li Xuantong's face stiffened as he helplessly shook his head. He looked at Mu Chen and said, "I heard that you destroyed the Demon's Gate's headquarters?"
Mu Chen nodded his head. This matter was known by everyone in Hokuang Reiwon, so it wasn't strange for Li Xuantong to know about it.
"A little arrogant," said Li Xuantong.
Mu Chen's eyebrows twitched. Just as he was about to speak, Li Xuantong smiled and said, "However, you're still a man. If you didn't do that, I would still want to cause trouble for you. You can't even protect her here, and you still want to talk about the future?"
Mu Chen extended his hand and gently held the delicate hand of the girl beside him. He smiled and said, "Senior Li Xuantong, the current me isn't strong. However, if you want to hurt her, you'll have to step over my body."
Luo Li's eyes were gentle as she looked at the side of the youth's handsome face. There was a smile on his face, but it was so firm that no one would doubt it.
Li Xuantong faintly nodded his head and said, "He Yao, if I meet him in the Hunting War, I'll take care of him."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I don't have the qualifications to say anything about who senior Li Xuantong wants to deal with. However, if I meet him first, I might not give you the chance."
"You're quite arrogant."
Li Xuantong smiled and said, "That'll depend on your performance in the Hunting War. Don't fail to even reach the finish line."
Mu Chen smiled and did not say anything else. He pulled Luo Li and stood in the air.
In the following period of time, more and more students gathered here. Mu Chen also saw Su Xuan, Xu Huang and other formidable figures that were ranked at the top of the Heavenly Rankings.
Other than these influential figures of Hokuang Reiwon, Mu Chen could faintly feel that there were quite a few blazing and ambitious gazes hidden within the seemingly endless sea of people. Their gazes were filled with challenge as they looked towards the influential figures in the sky.
Even when facing the influential figures in the top ten of the Heavenly Rankings, there wasn't the slightest bit of fear in those gazes.
Mu Chen also felt some of those gazes, and immediately smacked his lips inwardly. As expected of Hokuang Reiwon.
The people on the Heavenly Rankings were, after all, the minority. Most of them were patiently enduring.
They were waiting for their time to explode and soar into the sky.
It was obvious that this Hunting War was the best opportunity to soar into the sky!
Dong!
As more and more students gathered.
Suddenly, a clear and melodious bell ring resounded between heaven and earth. The long and drawn out sound of the bell covered all the hustle and bustle as it resounded between heaven and earth.
All the students stopped their clamor, their eyes filled with true reverence as they looked towards the depths of Hokuang Reiwon. There, a giant green bird was flying over.
The giant bird brought along a hurricane.
Soon, it floated above the only empty area of the plaza.
Mu Chen's gaze also looked towards the giant bird.
More accurately speaking, he was looking at the back of the giant bird. There were several old figures on it.
Every one of them was like an ordinary old man.
However, no one dared to look down on those seemingly frail old bodies, because hidden beneath them was a power that could destroy heaven and earth.
And at the forefront of those old figures was a tall and straight middle-aged man dressed in a green robe. His face was like warm jade, and his eyes were as vast as the stars, causing people who looked into them to be lost in them, unable to extricate themselves.
The entire world seemed to be reflected in his eyes.
He smiled as he looked at those young men and women with reverence, his eyes filled with vicissitudes of life, as though he was a wise man who had experienced countless years.
"He is …" Mu Chen's eyes were also solemn as he looked at the green-robed middle-aged man.
"He is our Hokuang Reiwon's dean, Dean Tai Cang," Li Xuantong said softly.
Li Xuantong softly said. Even someone as prideful as him had unconcealable respect in his tone.
Mu Chen nodded slightly. He did not expect that even the dean of Hokuang Reiwon would appear. Such an important person was not someone that students like them could easily meet.
"Little fellows, it's been a year since we last met. I'm glad that everyone's strength has improved."
Atop the azure bird, Dean Tai Cang gave a faint smile as he looked towards the countless youths and girls present. His clear and bright voice rang out within everyone's ears, causing the Spiritual Energy within the bodies of all the students to become docile. Akin to a divine voice, it caused them to feel refreshed and refreshed. In fact, even their conditions had improved, with the Spiritual Energy within their bodies becoming increasingly filled with vitality.
"What a terrifying ability." Sensing the changes in his body, Mu Chen was instantly shocked in his heart. What kind of strength was that?
With just a few words, he was able to improve the condition of so many people here.
That voice seemed to be recuperating their bodies, it was indescribably powerful.
"It's the Divine Voice of Tai Cang."
Luo Li's face was also covered in a solemn expression as she continued, "It's said that it's a Divine Art that was born from a Divine Scripture. Back then, Dean Tai Cang relied on that voice to kill a Sovereign with a single roar."
"Killing a Sovereign with a single roar?"
Mu Chen felt his scalp turning numb. He knew that this was definitely the reason why Dean Tai Cang had used his true strength. However, wasn't that a little too terrifying?
"With regards to the Hunting War, I believe that everyone should already be familiar with it. I won't say any more about the rules. However, I need to mention that this year's Hunting War will be the most difficult. That's because there are three final protectors."
With a faint smile, Dean Tai Cang waved his sleeve, causing the space before him to ripple, appearing akin to an incomparably gigantic mirror. Within the mirror, there seemed to be an incomparably majestic mountain. At the peak of the mountain, there were three flat mountain peaks, with clouds and mist curling around the peaks, appearing to be concealing some powerful existence.
All the students looked at each other. They naturally knew that only by defeating the protector would they be able to proceed with the Spiritual Light Empowerment. Otherwise, all the Spiritual Lights that they had obtained would be completely useless and useless.
In the past, there was only one protector. Who would have thought that it would be so difficult this time, and there would be three? Furthermore, who knew which three of the Punishment Hall's protectors would be?
Countless gazes were focused on the light mirror as the clouds and mist dissipated bit by bit. In the end, three figures could be vaguely seen quietly sitting there. However, their auras were like ferocious dragons that could shake the heavens and earth.
Seeing that aura, even Li Xuantong's expression changed slightly. The other students with sharp senses also had a drastic change in their expressions.
"These three are the Three Great Generals of the Punishment Hall. They are also the top three of the previous Heavenly Ranking."
Dean Tai Cang's unhurried voice resounded, causing many students to suck in a breath of cold air. This time, the Three Great Generals of the Punishment Hall would personally take action?
Wasn't this too difficult?!
(I've been writing for nearly three hours.
Because I still had to detail the settings of the Hunting War, I was delayed.
However, to be honest, I did not slack off. It's rare for me to write for such a long time. I just want to write better.
Please understand me. Thank you.
And please call for monthly votes!!)
