Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Luo Li and the other influential figures coming out from their seclusion had clearly caused Hokuang Reiwon to regain its previous vigor. Coupled with the freshmen entering the academy, as well as the replacement of the old and new Overlords of the Heavenly Rankings, which caused people's blood to boil, the entire Hokuang Reiwon had been in a fervent atmosphere for the past few days.
Amidst this fervent atmosphere, more and more students started to raise their heads in anticipation for the upcoming Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. The quality of this batch of their Hokuang Reiwon's elite students was clearly the highest amongst the past few batches. They were very much looking forward to their Hokuang Reiwon being able to obtain impressive results in the upcoming Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, continuing the glory of their Hokuang Reiwon.
While waiting for the day of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament to begin, Mu Chen had also heard the news of Tan Qingshan and the rest arriving at Hokuang Reiwon.
Due to the freshmen entering the academy, Mu Chen and the rest of the batch of students naturally got rid of their status as freshmen. Therefore, they no longer resided in the Freshman Area, and all of them moved into Hokuang Reiwon. The Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth in this region was clearly several times denser than the Freshman Area. The location of the new headquarters of the Goddess Luo Association was also extremely good, with it even being close to a Rank 7 Spirit Convergence Array. The density of the Spiritual Energy there caused the eyes of quite a few societies to turn red with envy. However, there was nothing they could do about it. Within the current Hokuang Reiwon, the Goddess Luo Association could be considered as the most powerful society, and was simply incomparable to them.
Within the new training grounds of the Goddess Luo Association, Mu Chen saw Tan Qingshan and the rest. Looking at those familiar faces, unconcealable joy gushed out from his eyes. Shortly after, he smiled and walked forward, giving a fierce hug to the somewhat uneasy Tan Qingshan.
"Qingshan, welcome to Hokuang Reiwon.
Mu Chen smiled. He recalled two years ago. At that time, he was still a student of the Northern Spiritual Academy and was still working hard to join the Five Great Academies. At that time, he had these companions by his side. Although they might have been very weak at that time, the feeling of growing up together was deeply engraved in his heart. When he recalled it, it was filled with warmth.
Tan Qingshan, who had been a little uneasy, relaxed because of Mu Chen's embrace. He looked at Mu Chen, and then looked behind him. There, stood a slender and elegant girl in a black dress. It was the girl who had attracted the attention of countless people in Hokuang Reiwon two days ago. At this moment, her charming face carried a faint smile, her beautiful eyes staring at the joyful Mu Chen.
"Brother Mu, I didn't expect that in less than two years, you would be doing so well in Hokuang Reiwon."
Tan Qingshan scratched his head and said: "Now I finally understand why our Northern Spiritual Academy would have the quota to directly enter Hokuang Reiwon. So it was because of you."
After all, Tan Qingshan was not a fool. Their Northern Spiritual Academy was a small Spiritual Academy. It was impossible for them to be placed in the eyes of Hokuang Reiwon. However, there was only one reason for such a strange thing to happen today. It was because of Mu Chen's outstanding performance in Hokuang Reiwon.
Mu Chen smiled. His gaze immediately shifted behind Tan Qingshan and stopped at Liu Yang. He smiled and said: "You've also come to Hokuang Reiwon."
Liu Yang was originally at odds with him in the Northern Spiritual Academy. However, he was still dealt with by him in the end. The relationship between the two could not be said to be good. After all, Liu Yang's grandfather, Liu Jingshan, had died in the hands of Mu Chen. The decline of the Liu Family was also inextricably related to Mu Chen. However, this could not be blamed on Mu Chen. In other words, the Liu Family only had themselves to blame.
With Mu Chen's current status and strength, it was naturally impossible for him to put those little relationships in his heart. If that was the case, it would appear that he was too magnanimous. After nearly two years of training, he was no longer the youth from back then.
Liu Yang's expression was slightly unnatural. As of now, the difference between him and Mu Chen was simply too great. This difference made him unable to even give birth to a bit of hatred. He immediately nodded his head and said: "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid that we wouldn't have the qualifications to come to Hokuang Reiwon. Our strength is still slightly lacking."
"Haha, Big Brother Mu, this is Yu Xi. After you left, she became the new genius of our Northern Spiritual Academy. She has only trained for less than two years and she has already caught up to us. Furthermore, you're her idol."
Tan Qingshan was also aware of the grudges between the Mu and Liu Families. He immediately pulled over the beautiful little girl, who had been staring at Mu Chen with her jet-black and bright eyes, and said with a smile.
"Oh?" Mu Chen was also a little surprised. He smiled and glanced at Yu Xi.
"Big Brother Mu Chen, h-hello. I'm Yu Xi."
Yu Xi's little face was a little red from excitement. Her little hands nervously pulled on the corner of her clothes. Her usual cleverness seemed to have disappeared and her clear voice had become a little stuttering.
This was her idol. She had always heard rumors about him when she was in the Northern Spiritual Academy. However, when she really met him in person, she discovered that those rumors were weak.
Seeing that she was beautiful and cute, Mu Chen had a good impression of her. He extended his hand and rubbed her head. He smiled and said: "Hello. You must properly train in Hokuang Reiwon in the future. Although our Northern Spiritual Realm is small, we aren't weaker than anyone else."
"Yes. Big Brother Mu Chen, I will definitely work hard. In the future, I will also ascend to Rank 1 on the Heavenly Ranking!"
Yu Xi's little face had turned red from Mu Chen's intimate action. However, she still forcefully nodded her head!
Her beautiful eyes were filled with determination. She worshipped Mu Chen and her heart had set his path as her goal.
If Mu Chen is Rank 1 on the Heavenly Ranking, then she must also become Rank 1 in the future!
Mu Chen did not know that his words had caused the little girl to have such a goal in her heart. He pulled Luo Li, who was beside him, over and grinned towards Tan Qingshan and the others: "This is Luo Li."
"Hello, Big Sister Luo!"
Tan Qingshan and the others had clearly heard of Luo Li in the past two days and immediately greeted her. It was said that she was the Big Sister of the Goddess Luo Association. Hearing the name of the Goddess Luo Association, it was obviously made for her. Furthermore, looking at how close Mu Chen and Luo Li were, it was obvious what kind of relationship they had.
"Nice to meet you." Luo Li said with a faint smile.
"Big Sister Luo Li, you're so beautiful." Yu Xi opened her eyes wide and spoke with some envy.
"You're also very cute. If there's anything in the future, just come and find us." Luo Li pulled Yu Xi and said with a smile.
Tan Qingshan moved closer to Mu Chen and gave him a thumbs up. Shortly after, he whispered, "Big Brother Mu, you're so awesome. You've actually found such a beautiful girl. However, big sister Qian 'er will probably be sad if she finds out."
"Who's big sister Qian 'er?"
Luo Li, who was talking to Yu Xi, suddenly turned her head and swept a glance at Mu Chen with a smile in her beautiful eyes as she casually asked.
Mu Chen fiercely glared at Tan Qingshan, causing the latter to awkwardly rub his nose.
"They're talking about big sister Tang Qian 'er. She grew up together with big brother Mu Chen. However, she's currently cultivating in Wanhuang Lingyuan," said Yu Xi in a sweet voice.
"Oh, so they're childhood sweethearts." Luo Li's slender and shapely eyebrows that were like crescent moons faintly twitched as she looked at Mu Chen with a spurious smile.
Mu Chen rubbed his nose as well. He looked at Luo Li's beautiful face that was like jade. The latter's beautiful eyes contained an extremely rare trace of jealousy, causing a great sense of vanity and satisfaction to gush out from his heart. Being able to make Luo Li, who was usually as tranquil as an icy lake, feel a little jealous was truly an extremely difficult thing.
Thus, he moved closer and said with a grin, "Jealous?"
Luo Li was exceptionally intelligent. How could she not see that the slight trace of jealousy that she'd unintentionally revealed had greatly inflated Mu Chen's vanity? Immediately, she lightly smiled and said, "Looks like there's a need for me to look for Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and the others. I'll ask them to come and spar with you. However, don't expect me to help you this time."
Mu Chen froze for a moment, before feeling a little resentful.
Seeing that he had suffered a setback, Luo Li gave a sweet smile. Extending her slender jade-like hand, she grasped Mu Chen's palm. Her jade-like fingers intertwined with his, the warmth she felt caused the rosy lips of a young girl to slightly raise up.
Fool, how could I bear to do that.
After chatting for a while, Mu Chen got Luo Li to take care of Yu Xi and the others. Thereafter, he brought Tan Qingshan to one side and asked, "How's my father now?"
"Haha. Uncle Mu is currently extraordinary. The Northern Spiritual Realm has already been unified by him. The Nine Territories of the past no longer exist, only the Northern Spiritual Alliance. Uncle Mu is the Alliance Master," said Tan Qingshan with a smile.
"Oh?" Mu Chen was a little surprised. Father had actually unified the Northern Spiritual Realm, which had been in chaos for a long time?
"Not long after you left, Uncle Mu made a breakthrough to the Heavenly Fusion Stage. Then, he established the Northern Spiritual Alliance with Sister Qian 'Er's father and the others. Other than the Liu Territory, which had resisted for a period of time, the other territories had succumbed. The current Northern Spiritual Realm is much stronger than before."
Mu Chen slightly nodded his head. A Heavenly Fusion Stage is already considered an extremely powerful strength within the Northern Spiritual Realm. It's no wonder that his father was able to completely unify the Northern Spiritual Realm. Although there are some disadvantages to this alliance, especially with the Liu Territory within it, which is considered a hidden danger, his father should be very clear about this. He should be careful.
However, he should also be more cautious about this. He should find a time to talk to the Dean and the others and see if he can borrow some people to secretly head to the Northern Spiritual Realm to protect his father. He does not wish for anything to happen to his father.
"Qingshan, if there's an opportunity in the future, send some news about me back to the Northern Spiritual Realm."
Mu Chen pondered for a moment and said. With his current achievements, if news of him were to spread back to the Northern Spiritual Realm, it would probably cause a stir. At that time, not to mention the Northern Spiritual Realm, even within the Northern Spiritual Continent, not many people would dare to do anything to his father.
"Yes, I know." Tan Qingshan nodded his head.
Mu Chen patted Tan Qingshan's shoulder and immediately let out a long breath. He raised his head and looked at the blue sky. His hands slowly clenched.
After arranging these matters properly, it's time to participate in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament … He had also been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Ji Xuan, let's settle our grudges during the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, right?
I don't know if you're prepared yet. The Blood Calamity within the Spiritual Road did not affect you. This time, I'm afraid that you won't have the chance to escape … "
