At the same time when Mu Chen, Shen Cangsheng and the rest entered the Teleportation Spiritual Array, a similar scene appeared in the innumerable Spiritual Academies of various sizes. The boiling clamour was earth-shattering.
Holy Spirit House
Towering palaces rose up and down, and at the center of this region, there was a vast plaza that was holy white in color. Around the plaza, there was a dense sea of people, and the clamor of the crowd soared into the sky.
The centre of the square appeared exceedingly spacious and empty, with twenty figures standing towering within. All of them were dressed in white, with the Saint Spiritual Academy's emblem pinned on their chests. At this moment, they were the most eye-catching existences in this stretch of the world.
At the front of the leftmost group stood a tall and straight youth with his hands behind his back. He had an exceedingly handsome face, with a smile as warm as the sun present on his face. That smile was calm and unruffled, gentle and refined, causing god-knows how many girls to be dazed by it.
"Haha. Captain Ji Xuan, looks like you're the most popular."
Behind that youth, another similarly youthful male chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that the other three Captains will be extremely dissatisfied. They've been brooding over you being able to obtain the same status as them as a freshman for a long time. Why don't you spar with them, Captain? I'm also rather curious as to which of the four pinnacle figures of our Holy Spirit House will be stronger."
Hearing his words, the youth known as Captain Ji Xuan smiled and said, "Mu Feng, what nonsense are you spouting? We're all representing the Holy Spirit House in this tournament, and at that time, we'll have to rely on each other.
However, internal strife is not allowed. Furthermore, they're Seniors, so I'm naturally inferior to them. "
"Captain is magnanimous."
The youth known as Mu Feng grinned as he gave a thumbs up.
With a smile, he continued, "However, it's said that the various Spiritual Academies have sent out their most elite students for this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Therefore, this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament can be said to be the most competitive one in recent years. Captain, are you confident in obtaining the Champion position?"
Shooting a glance at him, Ji Xuan smiled and said in a soft voice, "Follow me.
You don't have to worry about not having a chance to show your faces in the final battle. However, I hope that when the time comes, my orders will be obeyed.
Otherwise, for the sake of the bigger picture, I might not be able to care too much about friendship with everyone.
Please forgive me. "
His voice was soft.
However, there was an unquestionable confidence present within him. That wasn't a false bravado, but the fact that he truly possessed such an ability. That's because he was one of the four great Holy Sons of the Saint Spiritual Academy. Furthermore, he was the first person to obtain the title of Holy Son as a Freshman within the Saint Spiritual Academy in recent years.
The Saint.
It represented the highest achievement of the Holy Spirit House.
Not a single one of them wasn't someone with outstanding talent.
Upon seeing the smile on Ji Xuan's handsome face, the faces of Mu Feng and the other three members froze for an instant, before replying with a smile. Although they were seniors of the Holy Spirit House, they did not dare to put on any airs in front of a freshman like Ji Xuan, as they were extremely clear about the latter's methods.
This youth, who was slightly younger than them, appeared to have a gentle smile on his face. However, his methods were truly ruthless.
There were only four Holy Sons of the Holy Spirit House in every generation. Anyone who wanted to ascend to that position would have to defeat one of the Holy Sons and replace him. That was how Ji Xuan's title as a Holy Son came about. As of now, the Holy Son that he had replaced had not only been crippled in the Battle of the Holy Sons, he had also suffered heavy injuries, with his strength still yet to recover. As of now, the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit House was in an extremely miserable state.
"Captain, you seem to have been gathering information on Hokuang Reiwon during this period of time?
Haha, that tattered Spiritual Academy that's about to fall out of the Five Great Academies. Could it be that it's worthy of the Captain's attention? "Mu Feng smiled as he changed the topic.
"Hokuang Reiwon," Ji Xuan raised his head and looked towards a certain direction. With a faint smile, he replied, "However, there's an opponent there."
"Oh?" Mu Feng and the other three members gawked in shock.
"According to the information I've obtained, he's currently doing quite well in Hokuang Reiwon. Haha, truly worthy of being the fellow that defeated me many times in the Spiritual Road," said Ji Xuan with a faint smile. However, his black pupils were brimming with a sharpness akin to the edge of a blade.
The expressions on the faces of Mu Feng and the rest slightly changed. All of them had personally witnessed how frightening Ji Xuan was. From his tone, his opponent was actually a Freshman that had entered the Spiritual Road at the same time as him. Furthermore, that person was actually able to cause a figure like Ji Xuan to suffer a loss?
"However, it's a pity that the final victor is still me," said Ji Xuan as he shook his head. Looking towards the sky, he placed his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "However, the Spiritual Road was just a small skirmish. I believe that we'll be able to bump into him in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. I really want to see what level that Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road has reached."
"Truly interesting. However, Mu Chen, I hope that you won't disappoint me too much. If not, it'll be too boring."
Dong!
The sound of a bell resounded as the teleportation Spiritual Array within the public square furiously erupted with dazzling brilliance.
The eyes of the four groups present on the public square instantly narrowed. The three youths leading the three groups to the right of Ji Xuan slowly opened their faintly shut eyes, their gazes filled with indifference. In the next instant, without saying a single word, they strode forward, bringing their respective group members along as they stopped outside of the teleportation Spiritual Array.
Leading his group, Ji Xuan gave a faint smile towards the Captains of the other three groups at the edge of the teleportation Spiritual Array.
"Ji Xuan, the goal of our Holy Spirit House this time is to occupy four out of the top eight positions. I hope that you won't fall behind."
Amongst the three of them, a youth with an ordinary face, with lips as thin as a blade, sent a smile towards Ji Xuan. In the next instant, he lifted his foot and walked into the teleportation Spiritual Array. Rays of light blossomed, before his figure disappeared.
The other two groups continued to remain indifferent and silent as they walked into the teleportation Spiritual Array, bringing along chilling intent that gradually rose from their bodies.
"It's really hard to say who will fall behind."
Looking at their figures disappearing into the teleportation Spiritual Array, Ji Xuan flicked his sleeves with his finger as a ridiculing smile rose from the corner of his lips. Leading his group, he calmly walked into the teleportation Spiritual Array. As the rays of brilliance blossomed, they disappeared under the countless gazes.
Wanhuang Lingyuan
Compared to the atmosphere of the other Spiritual Academies, the Wanhuang Lingyuan was filled with the chirping of orioles and swallows. Countless lovely voices of girls filled this region, making the air seem as if it had turned soft at this moment.
On the towering platform that was covered with fresh flowers, the surroundings of the platform were filled with graceful figures. Countless girls were clustered around the platform and a fragrance filled the air. At this moment, countless young girls were looking at the front of the platform with an unusual heat in their eyes. At that spot, there was a slender figure that attracted everyone's attention.
It was an extremely dazzling figure. The girl was donned in a golden battle armour. The armour was soft and tightly stuck to her body, revealing her exquisite curves. Her snow-white neck, voluptuous breasts, slender waist, as well as the round and slender figure under the battle dress. Every single part of her was exceptionally perfect.
She also possessed a face that seemed to have gathered the spiritual aura of the heavens and earth. Her hands were soft and supple, and her skin was smooth and creamy. She was so beautiful that nothing could compare to her. Her rosy lips were slightly raised into an arc that was filled with confidence and pride. Her brows were slightly raised, revealing a trace of heroic spirit. That valiant and formidable-looking appearance made her seem like a goddess of war between the heavens and earth that controlled everything.
This girl was akin to a phoenix. Noble, prideful, confident, and would never bow down to anyone.
A girl like her possessed an extremely unique charm. Not only did this charm have an extremely great attraction towards males, it also had an extremely great attraction towards females. This was something that could be clearly seen from the blazing gazes cast by the countless girls around the high platform.
Although there were other exceedingly outstanding girls by her side, compared to her, they were like fireflies in front of the bright moon, their radiance completely overshadowed by her.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, the girl faintly raised her lovable face, as some scenes flashed within her mind. It was the final point of the Spiritual Road, where various kings were fighting for the throne. People who were able to reach that point were basically all rare geniuses. She wasn't the only one at the place closest to the Spiritual Crown, as there were many other extremely hard to deal with opponents. Ji Xuan was one of them.
At that time, she had originally planned to tangle with Ji Xuan. However, if that was the case, she would have lost the best opportunity to snatch the Spiritual Crown. Just as she was faintly hesitating at that time, a beautiful black figure flashed past her, obstructing Ji Xuan. What followed after was an exceedingly intense battle, with both of them suffering heavy injuries.
Her path to snatching the Spiritual Crown had been swept clean.
In the end, she snatched the Spiritual Crown. However, her beautiful eyes faintly lit up as she looked towards the girl in black, who had suffered heavy injuries in her fight with Ji Xuan. That girl possessed an absolutely beautiful appearance, while her glass-like pupils were limpid to the point of causing people to become intoxicated. Even though she and Ji Xuan had suffered heavy injuries in their fight, there wasn't the slightest bit of fluctuation on her tranquil face.
This was the first time that Wen Qingxuan had seen a girl of the same age as her, causing her to be extremely fond of her.
Later on, she found out that the girl was called Luo Li, and that she had gone to Hokuang Reiwon.
"Humm!"
The gigantic teleportation Spiritual Array suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance before her.
The brilliance caused Wen Qingxuan to regain her senses. In the next instant, a smile blossomed on her face, a smile that caused the heavens and earth to lose their colour. With a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, she ignored the shrieks that blotted out the skies and covered the earth as she strode into the brilliance. At the same time, her slender fingers gently clenched together, while the smile at the corner of her mouth was both enchanting and confident.
Luo Li, you belong to me.
At the same time.
Wu Ling Academy
Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy
There were also other powerful peak Spiritual Academies.
Dazzling brilliance erupted from the teleportation Spiritual Arrays, before powerful groups disappeared within the brilliance amidst the blood-boiling cheers of countless people.
They, would appear on the battlefield of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament!
At that place, the winds and clouds would converge, forming the momentum of heroes vying for supremacy!
The gazes of countless Spiritual Academies would converge here.
