Up in the sky, Mu Chen looked at the figures that were retreating one after another in the distance, and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the shock brought about by killing the Spirit King was too great. If not, it would really be hard to scare those fellows away today.
Mu Chen turned around. With a wave of his hand, the two translucent Spirit Crystals that were approximately five feet in size floated in front of him. With a flick of his finger, one of them shot back towards Luo Li.
"We'll split it in half."
Luo Li gave a sweet smile as she gently nodded her head. With a light wave of her jade-like hand, she kept the other half of the Spirit Crystal. This was very beneficial to her. With this half of the Spirit King's Spirit Crystal, she might be able to obtain quite a lot of benefits from the Spiritual Light Empowerment this time.
"Let's go. We'll leave this place first. The battle earlier was too intense. We need to find a place to recover first." Mu Chen also kept the other half of the Spirit Crystal as he said.
Luo Li nodded her head. Soon after, the two of them did not stay any longer. After determining their location, their figures moved and swiftly shot towards the distance. Within a few breaths, they had already disappeared without a trace.
Following their departure, the mountain range once again became peaceful. Only the ground that was already riddled with thousands of holes, was able to prove what kind of astonishing battle had erupted here previously.
However, when Mu Chen and the rest left, they did not know that the matter of them killing the Spirit King had already unknowingly caused some huge waves.
Hokuang Reiwon, northern plaza.
During these few days, this exceptionally vast plaza seemed to be filled to the brim at all times. Countless students had gathered here, raising their heads to look at the sky above the plaza.
There was a gigantic light screen there. However, within the light screen, three gigantic mountain peaks were faintly discernible within the clouds. At the peak of the mountain peaks.
One could faintly see three figures quietly seated. An invisible pressure spread out, causing even the people in the plaza to feel uneasy.
They knew that that was the final point of the hunt.
At that place, was the final guardian of this hunt.
That would also be the final hurdle of the hunt.
Of course, only when the final day of the great battle arrived.
Only then would they be able to witness the appearance of the heaven-shaking great battle from here.
Before this, they were unable to obtain much information about the hunting grounds.
However, there were always exceptions.
The light screen, which usually had no activity, suddenly rippled at this moment. This unusual movement caused countless students to be astonished. Immediately, numerous gazes shot over.
"What happened?"
"Could it be that I've reached the final stage so quickly?"
Many doubtful whispers began to spread. Everyone's faces were filled with shock. Clearly, they did not understand what was going on with this sudden and unexpected change.
At the front of the square, on the seats.
At the head of the table was Dean Tai Cang.
On both sides.
Even some of the Hokuang Reiwon elders were looking up at the fluctuating light screen.
Within the hunting grounds, there would be specialized elders monitoring the situation.
Generally speaking, if it wasn't the last stage.
Only information of an absolutely important level would be able to be reflected from the light screen.
Under the doubtful gazes, the fluctuating light screen condensed, finally forming into a clear image. It was a mountain range. However, at this moment, the mountain range was trembling. A light giant, several hundred feet in size, stood towering. Tyrannical Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated from it, causing it to be extremely astonishing.
"That's a Spirit King?!"
When the giant appeared, astonished voices instantly resounded across the square, while the faces of quite a few people drastically changed. Although the majority of the people here did not participate in the hunt, they had gained some understanding of the hunt over the past few days. Naturally, they knew what the so-called Spirit King represented.
"A Spirit King has actually been lured out?"
Not only were they shocked, even a few of the elders in the seats were astonished. However, in the next instant, a frown appeared on their faces. "Why does this Spirit King look a little weaker?"
"It's a Spirit King that was born not long ago," said Dean Tai Cang with a smile as he stared at the giant within the light screen with his eyes that were as deep as the Milky Way.
Only then did those elders come to a sudden understanding. Soon after, they looked over with interest. Even if it was a Spirit King that was born not long ago, it might not be something that these students could deal with. They wondered exactly which unlucky fellows had bumped into it.
As the light screen condensed, the two figures on the mountain peak in front of the Spirit King became increasingly clear. When everyone clearly saw their appearances, cries of astonishment instantly erupted.
"It's that new student called Mu Chen!"
"The beautiful girl beside him should be called Luo Li, right? Ranked 15 on the Heavenly Rankings. The two of them actually dare to challenge a Spirit King?"
“”
The two figures were very quickly recognized. Immediately, the entire plaza burst into an uproar. Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment. Obviously, this discovery had greatly exceeded their expectations.
At a corner of the plaza, Ye Qingling, Zhou Ling and the other members of the Goddess Luo Association had their mouths wide open as they looked at the two people within the light screen. Their expressions were strange. Although they knew that Mu Chen would not be content with his lot in the hunting ground, they never imagined that he would actually pull Luo Li along to deal with the Spirit King.
That was a tyrannical existence that was comparable to a Heavenly Completion Stage!
Under the countless astonished gazes, the light screen flickered. A great battle had already erupted. As the scene flickered, the earth quaked and the mountains shook. Both parties had already made their move.
As the scene of the battle continued to flicker, the expressions of the students on the plaza, who originally had astonished faces, slowly turned grave. In the end, some fear even gushed up their faces.
That was because they saw that the powerful Spirit King was actually being defeated.
The final scene of the scene stopped when Luo Li swung his sword. An azure blue ray of light flashed past. As the earth quaked and the mountains shook, the gigantic Spirit King was split into two, before collapsing with a loud bang.
As the light screen trembled, the entire plaza was deathly silent.
That Spirit King had actually been killed by the combined forces of Mu Chen and Luo Li!
On the high platform, the various elders also had astonished expressions on their faces. Dean Tai Cang's gaze converged towards the light screen. Looking at the slender figure within, a sliver of astonishment flashed within his eyes as he said in a soft voice, "This little girl is actually someone from the Luo God Clan?
That sword in her hand.
Could it be the Luo God Sword?
That's the treasure of the Luo God Clan! "
"Dean, her grandfather should be Luo Tianshen." Beside Dean Tai Cang, there was a white-haired old man.
From his appearance, he was impressively the old man that Mu Chen and Luo Li had met for the first time in the Spiritual Value Hall.
"Luo Tianshen's granddaughter?"
The surprise in Dean Tai Cang's eyes became even more obvious. He could not help but smile and said, "That old man actually let his precious granddaughter come to our Hokuang Reiwon to cultivate?"
"However, this little girl's talent is indeed excellent.
To be able to control the Luo God Sword, that's not simple. "
Dean Tai Cang's gaze suddenly moved towards Mu Chen's figure, and he said, "This little fellow is called Mu Chen, right?
Hehe, the things that happened in the Spiritual Road were caused by him, right? "
The old man beside him smiled and nodded. "That incident caused quite a stir. The Holy Spirit House insisted on killing him as a punishment, but you didn't agree in the end, Dean.
That's why he was expelled. "
Dean Tai Cang smiled faintly.
"This little fellow is also a rare genius.
With a little training, he might not be inferior to Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong.
As for what happened in the past, it was clear that the Holy Spirit House broke some rules and secretly gave some help to the young man called Ji Xuan.
Did he really think that he could hide it from everyone?
In the end, he only had himself to blame for the result. "
The white-haired old man nodded and said, "They took a fancy to Ji Xuan's talent, and tried to use him to suppress our Hokuang Reiwon in the next Five Academy Competition. That way, they might be able to fight for the position of Academy Head."
Dean Tai Cang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the young man's figure in the light screen. He smiled and muttered to himself, "Although that Ji Xuan is a genius, this Mu Chen is not so simple either."
While Hokuang Reiwon was boiling and shaken because of the scene in the light screen, the hunting grounds was similarly not calm. Because at the same time, a piece of news resounded throughout the entire Spiritual Light World.
"In the northwest region, at an Extremely Dangerous grade gathering point, a Spirit King has been killed. The killer, Mu Chen, Luo Li."
The news, wrapped in boundless Spiritual Energy, instantly resounded throughout the hunting grounds. Then, the expressions of countless people instantly changed.
A Spirit King had been killed?
The entire hunting grounds was shaken. Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. After all these years, a Spirit King had finally been killed by a student?
Weren't Mu Chen and Luo Li only new students?
How could they have reached such a stage?!
Countless people looked at each other. If not for the boundless voice still reverberating between the heavens and earth, they would have thought that they were hallucinating.
They inwardly sighed. From the looks of it, the darkest dark horse in this Hunting War had already appeared.
In the depths of the hunting grounds, within a wasteland, a figure slowly walked. He carried a long spear on his shoulder, and in front of him, Spirit Pawns that hid the skies and covered the earth surged over. With a smile, he allowed the Spirit Pawns to flood over him.
Bang!
Bright and resplendent golden light rushed towards the heavens, like an incomparably overbearing giant wave that swept out. The Spirit Pawns that hid the skies and covered the earth, as well as a large number of Spiritual Generals, were instantly turned into dust, leaving behind Spiritual Light that blotted the skies.
The figure appeared once again. With a wave of his sleeve, he collected the Spiritual Light that blotted the skies, before raising his head. His hair was disheveled, as a disdainful aura spread out, causing him to be exceptionally eye-catching.
It was Shen Cangsheng.
He stared towards the north-west direction, and smiled. Mu Chen was indeed an interesting junior. However, I wonder, will he be able to ascend the Spiritual Light Platform in the final test?
Similarly, on a mountain peak in the depths of the hunting grounds, Li Xuantong stood with his hands behind his back. He was similarly looking towards the north-west direction. There were not many ripples on his handsome face as he stared towards that direction. After a long while, he turned around and left, without saying a single word.
Bang!
He Yao ferociously stomped a small mountain-like boulder into dust. His expression was dark and gloomy, while everyone behind him kept quiet out of fear, not daring to speak.
"You're actually able to kill a Spirit King. You truly do have some skills."
He Yao sneered. Soon after, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the hunting grounds, as his cold voice slowly rang out.
"This has saved me some trouble. Since that's the case, when the time comes, I'll kindly accept the Spirit King's Spiritual Light in your hands."
(There will be two updates today. The next update might be after 12.)
