Ling Xi was indeed worthy of being a Spiritual Array Grandmaster. His attainments in Spiritual Arrays were still quite a distance away from hers.
"There's naturally no problems with this method."
Rubbing his forehead, Mu Chen replied with a smile. Regardless of whether the Spiritual Energy of the Heavens and Earth was dense or not, it was an external factor. Whether or not one could absorb and refine it would completely depend on one's own ability. This was completely different from before, where he did not need to do anything, and was able to obtain explosive growth in power.
"From today onwards, you can enter and cultivate within. I'll activate the Spiritual Array and tear a hole in the Rank 8 Spirit Convergence Array, drawing out some of the Spiritual Energy within.
Faintly nodding her head, Ling Xi's beautiful eyes looked towards Mu Chen and said, "However, whether or not you can break through to Heavenly Completion Stage in the remaining time will depend on yourself."
"Okay, I'll have to trouble Elder Sister Ling Xi."
Nodding his head, Mu Chen's black pupils brimming with resolution. If he was unable to break through to Heavenly Completion Stage by himself, how could he tell Luo Li that he would become an unrivalled expert, to overcome all obstacles and protect her?
"Let's begin."
Not saying anything else, Ling Xi's slender jade-like hands overlapped and formed a hand seal. In the end, numerous rays of light shot out from her palms, rushing towards the countless rays of light interweaving across the horizon.
Bang!
A deep muffled sound seemed to ring out across the horizon, before dazzling rays of brilliance erupted from the countless rays of light. In the next instant, the rays of light converged, transforming into a glowing vortex that was roughly a hundred metres in size in the sky.
One end of the vortex extended into the void, with no one knowing where it was connected to. Faintly, extremely boundless Spiritual Energy could be faintly felt, akin to a volcano, about to erupt from within.
At this moment, Mu Chen took a deep breath. With a move of his body, he shot towards a mountain peak below the vortex, before sitting down.
Ling Xi waved her jade-like hand, causing the glowing vortex to furiously revolve. Humming noises rang out as the Spiritual Energy of the Heavens and Earth instantly surged within the mountain peak.
Bang.
Boundless and gorgeous Spiritual Energy appeared within the vortex. Akin to a flood, it poured down in torrents. The Spiritual Aura fluctuations within the heavens and earth enveloped the entire mountain peak, wrapping Mu Chen's body within.
Upon seeing this, Ling Xi nodded her head in satisfaction. Turning her beautiful face around, she shot a look into the distance. Ignoring it, she gracefully turned around and left.
On a mountain peak in the distance, Dean Tai Cang and the others could only smile bitterly as they watched the commotion.
"This Ling Xi is actually able to draw out some of the Spiritual Qi from within the Grade 8 Spirit Convergence Array!" Palace Master Mo You smacked his lips, as he exclaimed in surprise. That Grade 8 Spirit Convergence Array was the foundation of their Hokuang Reiwon. Back then, when they had just established their institute, it was Lord Northern Sea who had paid a huge price to obtain it from an extremely powerful and mysterious force within the Vast Thousand Worlds. However, they had never imagined that Ling Xi would be able to pry open a crack in such a Spirit Convergence Array.
"Forget it."
Dean Tai Cang smiled. He didn't care that Ling Xi had set her sights on Hokuang Reiwon's most important eighth grade Spirit Convergence Array. He only stared at the pillar of light that was pouring down like a waterfall. With his hands behind his back, he muttered, "Let's just wait and see! I want to see, in this last half a month, whether or not Mu Chen can truly rely on himself to complete his breakthrough!"
If he was truly able to accomplish it, then their Hokuang Reiwon would truly have produced a rare monstrous genius.
This time, the commotion caused by Ling Xi wasn't small at all. The boundless Spiritual Energy pillar that was pouring down from the horizon appeared exceedingly dazzling within the entire Hokuang Reiwon. Therefore, in the next period of time, quite a few students had taken notice of this bizarre spectacle, causing them to be unable to avoid feeling astonished.
However, their astonishment did not last for long, as they gradually came to know of the reason behind this matter. In the next moment, shock and astonishment filled the eyes of quite a few people. Mu Chen was actually going to make use of this opportunity to break through to Heavenly Completion Stage?
That fellow's truly perverse!
Countless students exclaimed in admiration. This Mu Chen had only been in their Hokuang Reiwon for a year! However, his improvement was more than sufficient to cause some of the seniors to feel ashamed of their inferiority. However, after thinking about it, even a vicious person like Mo Longzi had fallen in the hands of Mu Chen. This fellow simply couldn't be measured with common sense. Therefore, why should they compare themselves to such a non-human? Therefore, they felt much more at ease in their hearts.
In this world, there were always some people that stood out from the masses.
On a mountain peak in Hokuang Reiwon, Li Xuantong stared at the gigantic Spiritual Energy pillar in the distance. Only after a long while did he turn his gaze towards the direction of the Freshman Area. At that place, there was a girl that he was unable to forget. However, he knew that in this lifetime, he might not be able to see her reveal the same loveliness that she had shown in front of Mu Chen because of him.
A sliver of complicated emotions flashed across Li Xuantong's handsome face. The youth that he had doubted back then was currently rapidly advancing, and had even surpassed him. All of this was proof of the girl's eyesight. She was so outstanding that even if everyone was doubting the person she liked, she still chose to believe in him.
Li Xuantong was undoubtedly a prideful person, and there was no need to doubt his talent. From a certain point of view, Mu Chen could be considered as his love rival. However, this did not obstruct Li Xuantong's recognition of the latter's achievements. Indeed, this youth possessed the potential to cause Luo Li to fall in love with him. However, the feeling of being surpassed by him truly wasn't good.
"Haha. Looks like our fellow sufferers of Hokuang Reiwon are about to be surpassed."
Laughter suddenly rang out from behind him. Li Xuantong turned around, only to see Shen Cangsheng seated on a giant boulder behind him. If one were to talk about appearance alone, Shen Cangsheng might not be as handsome as Li Xuantong, or as handsome as Mu Chen. However, he had his own kind of bearing. His tall and straight body was akin to a divine spear that could pierce through the heavens, and would never bend. The disdain on his face wasn't arrogant, but possessed a bearing that could cause people's hearts to tremble.
Shen Cangsheng possessed an extremely strong reputation within Hokuang Reiwon. Even though Mu Chen's victory over Mo Longzi had shaken the entire Hokuang Reiwon, it wasn't enough to suppress the overlord of the Heavenly Rankings. This wasn't due to strength, but rather Shen Cangsheng himself was a very charismatic person.
Li Xuantong also sat down on the boulder, and said in an indifferent voice, "What?
Our Hokuang Reiwon Heavenly Rankings overlord has become a little dispirited?
This isn't like you. "
"Mu Chen is indeed a very formidable fellow."
Shen Cangsheng also looked at the Spiritual Energy pillar in the distance, and smiled, "Looking at our Hokuang Reiwon's history, the number of people that were able to obtain such an achievement within a year of entering the Spiritual Academy wouldn't exceed ten. Let me think, the most recent one should be a hundred years ago. I still remember his name, Qin Zhantian. In that Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, countless geniuses from various Spiritual Academies were overshadowed by his feet. Even the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit House was defeated by his hands. Under his spear, he was invincible and unstoppable!"
"That was the most exhilarating time in our Hokuang Reiwon's hundred years!"
"Senior Brother Qin Zhantian?" said Li Xuantong in a soft voice. "I've heard that the current him seems to be an overlord of a region in the Great Thousand Worlds, and possesses strength that transcends the heavens."
Faint fanaticism gushed from Shen Cangsheng's eyes as he replied with a smile, "He's my goal. When I entered Hokuang Reiwon, I've already said that I want to be like him!"
"Therefore …" Looking towards Li Xuantong, a grin appeared on Shen Cangsheng's face, while disdain gushed from his eyes once again.
"I'll apply to the Dean to enter the Door of the Northern Heavens to train!"
Li Xuantong's heart slightly trembled as he looked towards Shen Cangsheng and said, "The Door of the Northern Heavens?
That place where students were unable to endure the pressure and went insane? "
That place could be considered as a terrifying place that would cause everyone's face to change in Hokuang Reiwon. Back then, there were outstanding students that had entered that place. However, in the end, they were unable to endure the pressure and went insane. This led to the place being closed by Hokuang Reiwon, with it rarely ever being opened again. However, it seemed that it was precisely because of this that Hokuang Reiwon had always been unable to obtain any good results in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
As of now, Shen Cangsheng was actually going to train there?
With a smile, Shen Cangsheng replied, "If I'm afraid of even this, how can I talk about surpassing Senior Brother Qin Zhantian? Li Xuantong, I'm going to head to the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament to compete against the monstrous geniuses of the various great Spiritual Academies. What about you?
Are you going to continue with this lukewarm attitude and wait for Mu Chen to surpass you? "
Turning silent for a while, Li Xuantong placed his hands behind his head. Looking towards the glowing Spiritual Energy pillar in the distance, his gaze started to slowly turn fierce.
"The Door of the Northern Heavens, huh?
That's good. I really want to see exactly what's so frightening about that place. If you dare to go, I'll naturally dare to go as well. Wanting me to be the number two for eternity? You, Shen Cangsheng, still don't have that capability!
Furthermore, no matter what, we can't just let that fellow, Mu Chen, show off his might in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament by himself, right? "
"Haha! Well said!"
Standing up, Shen Cangsheng gave a hearty laugh in a heroic manner.
"When we come out from the Door of the Northern Heavens, we'll give that brat, Mu Chen, a good beating. Although he's saved us, we still have to let him understand that surpassing Senior Brother isn't an easy matter!"
