The sky turned dark and gloomy. In the surroundings of the Spiritual Light Mountain, all the gazes were nervously focused on the sky above the giant mountain peak. At that location, two frightening attacks that caused them to tremble whistled past. In the end, just like two comets shooting across the horizon, they collided with a loud bang in front of everyone's eyes.
In that instant, the loud sound seemed to spread throughout the entire hunting ground.
The dazzling light that erupted was akin to a scorching sun. The intense light broke through the darkness of the world. That glaring light caused countless people to narrow their eyes.
Boom!
As the blazing sun appeared in the sky, the dragon, tiger and tortoise that were clashing against each other unleashed their strongest powers without holding anything back. Thus, a Spiritual Energy storm that was roughly a thousand feet in size was formed, vaguely showing signs of distortions in the surrounding space.
Everyone fixed their eyes on the incomparably massive Spiritual Energy storm. The Spiritual Energy grew more and more violent as the storm started to distort. It was a sign that it couldn't endure it any longer.
Creak!
The distortion of the Spiritual Energy storm had reached its limits. Before anyone could react, the storm exploded as a thousand foot wide Spiritual Energy ripple swept across the horizon.
It was quite a spectacle.
At the very front, Mu Chen and Gu Tianyan were the first to bear the brunt of the impact. Although the two of them did their utmost to defend, they were still sent flying the instant they made contact.
Bang!
Bang!
The two of them flew backwards, piercing through several mountain peaks along the way.
Bang!
In the end, the two of them were shot into a mountain peak. Mountain rocks tumbled down, burying them within. While they were in a miserable state, those people who were near the huge mountain peak were also caught in the crossfire, and were thrown into a complete mess.
Some unlucky ones even vomited blood from the shock.
But fortunately, it was only the aftermath and did not cause too much damage. Thus, a few minutes later, the Spiritual Energy storm in the sky weakened, bit by bit.
The chaotic onlookers also regained their wits. Their gazes turned towards the giant peak, and the corners of their mouths involuntarily twitched. The towering giant peak was currently in ruins.
Huge cracks spread out like a spider web, covering the entire mountain peak.
The collision between the two of them nearly destroyed this towering mountain.
This caused quite a few people to be secretly shocked in their hearts.
The destructive power is too terrifying!
"Where are the two of them?"
Someone thought of the two protagonists and immediately shifted his gaze to the two collapsed mountain peaks in the distance. The students who were participating in the hunt were even more nervous. The outcome of Mu Chen's battle was related to whether all of them could obtain the Spiritual Light Empowerment. At the moment, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had yet to make their moves.
Because they were all waiting, waiting for Mu Chen to give an answer.
As long as Mu Chen could achieve a draw, then the students' side would basically win this final battle.
However, if Mu Chen were to lose, they would lose one out of the three matches. If they wanted to reverse the situation, it would be extremely difficult.
It would probably be an extremely difficult task.
After all, Lin Zheng and Zhou Qingshan had yet to make a move.
None of them were easy to deal with.
Shen Cangsheng's and Li Xuantong's expressions turned slightly grave at this moment. Their gazes were locked onto the two collapsed mountain peaks. Even with their mental fortitude, their hearts still beat a little faster at this moment.
Lin Zheng and Zhou Qingshan were still somewhat calm. However, their tightly focused gazes revealed their concern for the result.
The entire region turned quiet once again. However, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, causing people to be unable to breathe.
The atmosphere in the northern square was the same. Everyone tightly clenched their hands as they stared at the gigantic light screen in the sky. Admittedly, the previous battle had caused them to sigh in shock. However, no matter what, the result was the most important.
"Hualala."
Under the countless gazes, layers of rocks suddenly tumbled down from the collapsed mountain peak. Everyone's gazes hastily looked over. From there, a scarlet-red spiritual light rushed towards the sky. In the next instant, a figure rushed out from within the collapsed mountain peak.
"It's Gu Tianyan!" someone cried out in surprise.
The scarlet-red light slowly dissipated, revealing Gu Tianyan's figure. At this moment, the latter's body was covered in bloodstains and his face appeared exceedingly pale. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations around his body appeared exceedingly sluggish, no longer having the calmness and strength he had at the beginning.
Clearly, the earth-shattering battle from before was not easy for Gu Tianyan.
Upon seeing Gu Tianyan, who had appeared once again, the hearts of the numerous students could not help sinking. Although the latter had suffered heavy injuries, it was clear that he had not reached the stage where he was unable to continue fighting.
As for Mu Chen …
Looking towards the collapsed mountain peak that had yet to show any signs of activity, their palms were filled with sweat.
This silence continued for a short while.
Clatter.
Rocks tumbled down from the collapsed mountain peak. Everyone's eyes widened as they watched the rocks start to tumble down, layer by layer, as a weak black Spiritual Energy rushed out.
Within the black Spiritual Energy, a staggering figure swayed as he shot into the air, before coming to a stop.
That was Mu Chen.
However, at this moment, his entire body was covered in blood, while extremely malevolent scars covered his body. Compared to Gu Tianyan, he clearly appeared to be in an even more miserable and miserable state.
However, even though he had suffered heavy injuries, he still stood ramrod straight in the sky. At this moment, the figure of the youth appeared exceedingly slender. His tattered clothes swayed in the wind, and his miserable appearance was unable to conceal the sharpness that caused people's hearts to palpitate.
Due to his injuries, the youth's slightly dimmed eyes tightly stared at Gu Tianyan in the distance, his gaze akin to that of a wolf and a tiger.
Countless gazes blankly stared at the youth that was still standing in the sky, his body covered in blood. The silence continued for quite a while, before being broken by earth-shattering cheers.
Faced against Gu Tianyan's strongest attack, Mu Chen had finally endured it!
He had not been knocked down!
The faces of all the students had flushed red from excitement. Waving their arms, they looked towards the slender figure in the sky with gazes brimming with reverence. Their gazes were already the same as when they looked at Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest.
"Too formidable!"
The faces of the Wang brothers were also flushed red, their expressions emotional. Their eyes were brimming with admiration. Mu Chen's performance this time had completely and utterly conquered them.
Of course, they all understood that there were probably many more Hokuang Reiwon students that had been conquered. From today onwards, Mu Chen's position in Hokuang Reiwon would not be much weaker than Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong.
Even influential figures like Su Xuan and He Yao would be tossed far, far away by Mu Chen.
Su Ling 'er also started to cheer at this moment. Her beautiful face was flushed red, as she excitedly grabbed onto Su Xuan's wrist. Previously, she had almost suffocated from watching. If they were to fail at the final moment, that would truly be asking for their lives.
Su Xuan also lightly nodded her small head. Gazing at Mu Chen's figure, she faintly smiled. Who would have thought that a few months ago, this new student, who was still a nameless nobody in Hokuang Reiwon, would now …
Perhaps, he would become the new student that improved the fastest in the history of Hokuang Reiwon.
Luo Li was not as emotional as the others. She only quietly looked at Mu Chen, as a faint arc formed on her rosy little lips. She had always believed that this youth that she liked would eventually become dazzling.
Whether it was in the past, now, or in the future.
Phew.
At this moment, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As they gazed at Mu Chen's figure, they could not help but nod their heads. This fellow really made others look at him in a whole new light.
In the sky, Gu Tianyan also had a complicated expression as he looked at the battered and exhausted youth, whose eyes were exceptionally bright. As he listened to the deafening cheers around him, he could not help but let out a bitter laugh. When he was still a student, there were also many people who had cheered for him like this. However, now, it seemed that their positions had changed.
"Senior Gu, did you fight to your heart's content?
If you feel that it's not enough, perhaps I can accompany you a little. "
In the distance, Mu Chen slowly wiped away the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, as a smile rose from the corners of his mouth with some difficulty as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tianyan smiled, as his body slowly relaxed. Waving his hand, he said, "Forget it. If we continue at this time, I'm afraid that it will incur the wrath of the crowd. Furthermore, I've already said it before. If you can receive this move of mine, this fight will be your victory."
As his voice paused, Gu Tianyan's expression turned serious. Staring at Mu Chen, he cupped his hands together, as a low and deep voice slowly rang out in the sky.
"This fight, I've lost."
With this declaration, he had already placed Mu Chen on the same level as him, and no longer treated the latter as a Heavenly Transformation Initial Stage freshman.
"Senior Gu, thank you for letting me win."
Mu Chen did not act pretentiously, and only lightly nodded his head. This fight was something that he had risked his life to exchange for. It was worth it.
As their voices rang out, the surrounding cheers instantly erupted once again, as countless people's faces flushed red from excitement.
"Mu Chen won!"
"Mu Chen won!"
Countless cheers rang out. Even those students on the northern square that had not participated in the hunt were abnormally excited. This fight was sufficient to cause their blood to boil.
On the chief podium, the elders also faintly nodded their heads. Obviously, they were extremely satisfied with this fight.
"Dean, looks like our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy will have another little monstrous genius. This is a cause for celebration," said a white-haired elderly man beside Dean Tai Cang with a smile.
Dean Tai Cang also faintly smiled. Looking at the youth on the screen, he slowly said, "For the sake of obtaining a Ji Xuan, the Holy Spirit House did not hesitate to use some underhanded methods. However, I have to tell them that our Hokuang Reiwon's Mu Chen is not any weaker than some Ji Xuan."
Under the earth-shattering cheers, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong also laughed out loud on the giant peak. Turning around, they looked towards Lin Zheng and Zhou Qingshan, who had slightly complicated expressions on their faces.
"Seniors, the next fight will perhaps be our turn."
(It's the end of the month. Asking for monthly tickets. Thank you everyone.)
