Lush green mountains stood towering on the ground, with peaks extending to the end of one's line of sight.
In this region, the voices of people were a little noisy, with all sorts of noises converging together and soaring into the clouds. This was a resting region, with many teams gathered here to rest.
Although there weren't any designated safe regions in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, there were naturally rules in places with people. Take this resting region as an example. Generally speaking, the majority of the teams that entered this region would take a break and stop fighting, lest they attract the wrath of the masses.
On the various mountain peaks, there were groups of people gathered together, conversing with each other. The atmosphere was rather harmonious.
At this moment, while the teams in this region were conversing, their gazes were uncontrollably directed towards a mountain peak not far away. On the mountain peak, there were roughly ten figures.
Amongst those figures, the one that attracted the most attention was a slender and graceful figure. It was a young girl dressed in a navy blue dress. She possessed a beautiful face that was close to perfect, with silver hair that was as gorgeous as the Milky Way. Her clear, glass-like eyes weren't tainted by any speck of dust, and were so penetrating that it could enchant the hearts of others.
The young girl quietly sat with a tranquil expression on her face, without the slightest ripple from the various gazes that were directed at her from the surroundings. Her temperament gave off a feeling of being aloof from the world.
Many gazes were focused on her, with various emotions surging in the depths of their eyes. Facing such an outstanding girl, there wouldn't be any male of the same age that wouldn't be moved.
However, even if they were enchanted by her temperament and beauty, there wasn't anyone that dared to disturb her. That's because they were clear that the girl before them was the creator of the current Numero Uno on the point rankings, the one that defeated Fang Yun and led her team to surpass Ji Xuan.
Luo Li.
A name that was as beautiful as glass and could move people's hearts.
This name had undoubtedly become the most dazzling star in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament in just a few days' time.
Some of the teams here had actually encountered the team led by the girl in front of them in the past few days. The final outcome was obvious. The points that they had worked so hard to obtain had become the spoils of war of others.
However, even though they had lost the points, they surprisingly did not have much resentment. Instead, there was still a stunning and slender figure lingering in their hearts.
Even they were ashamed of such thoughts. They could only mutter, "Femme fatale".
However, they also understood that it would bring disaster to the country and bring disaster to the people.
This kind of girl was too far away from them.
Her excellence and excellence prove that she will be dazzling in the future
Under the countless gazes, Luo Li still had her eyes closed on the mountain peak.
Her long hair fluttered in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance.
"Luo Li, Ji Xuan's team has pulled closer to us by another two thousand points," Shen Cangsheng, who was behind Luo Li, suddenly said as he glanced at the Academy Plaque.
"That fellow is really chasing up to us."
Li Xuantong frowned his brows. Ever since they surpassed Ji Xuan, the latter had clearly been encouraging them in the dark.
They were doing their best to obtain points in an attempt to surpass them.
It was precisely because of this that they were much busier these few days. Under Luo Li's lead, they had been attacking all over the place, seizing points.
But fortunately, ever since they defeated Fang Yun, Luo Li did not choose those teams that were too powerful. Instead, he chose teams that they could easily deal with. Although seizing points would be slower, it was extremely safe. There wouldn't be a situation like what Mu Chen did after massacring the Eighth to Sixteenth teams and exhausting himself too much.
In those consecutive battles, the strength of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong's team had also increased. The two of them had relied on the drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that Mu Chen had given them to pass through Second Grade Spirit Disaster. As for Su Xuan and Xu Huang, they had also smoothly passed through their Spirit Disaster. At this moment, the overall strength of their team had reached the pinnacle.
Right now, regardless of whether it was the Captain or the members, the strength that they possessed wasn't any inferior to the other top-tiered teams. In the past, the situation of the team's strength being unbalanced had finally been broken.
Luo Li had also opened her eyes at this moment as she glanced at the Academy Plaque. At this moment, they still maintained the Numero Uno with a score of 160,000, while Ji Xuan was ranked second with a score of 153,000.
This score was practically a deadlock.
"Then, let's continue."
Luo Li stood up as her slender waist outlined a beautiful curve under her fitted dress. The girl's skin was as smooth as jade. When the sunlight shone on her, it was as if there was a lustre reflected off her body, making others unable to shift their gazes away.
When Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest heard her words, they immediately stood up. After adjusting their breathing, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies had recovered.
In the past few days, they had personally witnessed Luo Li's strength. At this moment, they finally understood how deep the girl before them had concealed her strength when they were in Hokuang Reiwon.
The group of them stood up as they prepared to move out.
Whoosh.
However, just when they were about to leave, there was a sudden whooshing of wind that resounded from the distant sky. Thereafter, two figures swiftly flew over.
Luo Li gently retracted her jade-like feet as she looked at the two figures that were flying over from the horizon. Her glass-like eyes, which had always been as tranquil as a serene lake, had unexpectedly surged with joy at this moment.
When everyone in this region saw the girl's beautiful eyes that had suddenly turned spirited, their eyes uncontrollably lit up as they directed their gazes over. Just who was it that could actually make such a tranquil girl reveal such a joyous smile from the bottom of her heart?
Rustle.
Under the numerous gazes, two figures swiftly appeared in the sky. When the light dissipated, a male and female figure appeared in a flash.
Mu Chen stood in the sky with a slender figure and a handsome face. At this moment, he was lightly smiling as he looked at the girl below with a gentle gaze.
Beside him, Wen Qingxuan was slender and elegant with a golden battle armour wrapped around her chest. Her slender waist was so slender that one could wrap one's arms around it. Under her battle dress, her snow-white skin was comparable to Luo Li's. Her prideful temperament seemed to have been brought out from her bones and had never faded, regardless of the time.
"It's Mu Chen!"
Mu Chen's appearance wasn't unfamiliar to many of the teams in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Therefore, when they saw him, they instantly exclaimed in surprise. Their voices unavoidably contained some jealousy. That jealousy was naturally due to the faint smile that had appeared on Luo Li's face when Mu Chen appeared.
That smile was extremely bewitching.
Mu Chen descended from the sky and landed before Luo Li. Looking at the smile on the girl's face, his gaze turned much gentler. Extending his hand, he pushed aside the hair on the girl's forehead and said in a soft voice, "You've worked hard."
"I'm also a member of this team. Therefore, it's my duty to contribute." Luo Li said with a faint smile.
"However, since Lord Captain has already returned to the team, I should obediently return the Captain's position."
Luo Li handed the Academy Plaque over to Mu Chen, before giving the latter a rare playful wink. This scene instantly caused the hearts of those that were paying attention to this area to freeze. During this period of time, Luo Li had always been calm and indifferent. Even when facing a top-tiered expert like Fang Yun, her calmness wasn't broken. However, at this moment, she had actually revealed such a touching scene before a male, causing them to feel pain in their hearts.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled as he extended his hand to grab onto the Academy Plaque. At the same time, he also held onto Luo Li's slender and somewhat ice-cold hand.
Suddenly being held by Mu Chen's palm, Luo Li's beautiful face turned slightly red. She tried to struggle, but was unable to move a single inch. Therefore, she could only glare at the former in a slightly annoyed manner.
Mu Chen took a look at his surroundings, and discovered that quite a few gazes were staring at him like tigers preying on their prey. This caused him to feel somewhat baffled. How could he not know that his blasphemous action had already caused quite a few people to be jealous?
"Let's go. You've worked hard to obtain this position. I won't let anyone snatch it away." Mu Chen looked towards Luo Li and said.
Luo Li gave a sweet smile as she lightly nodded her head.
Humm.
However, just as Mu Chen's voice rang out, the Academy Plaque in his hand suddenly buzzed and vibrated. Dazzling rays of light blossomed, and at the same time, the Academy Plaques in the hands of all the captains in this region also emitted rays of light.
Everyone raised their Academy Plaques in astonishment. When they looked over, their expressions abruptly changed.
On the point rankings, Ji Xuan, who was originally ranked second, had suddenly soared up at an astonishing speed, instantly surpassing them. Furthermore, his points had directly increased from 150,000 to a terrifying 200,000!
Their points had instantly soared by over 50,000!
"How is this possible?!"
Some people involuntarily cried out in shock, completely unable to understand how Ji Xuan's points had soared. That's because they saw that none of the top eight teams on the point rankings had fallen. In other words, Ji Xuan did not defeat any of the top eight teams. If that was the case, where did their points come from?
The entire region was covered in astonishment as astonished gazes looked towards Mu Chen.
The smile on Mu Chen's face had also disappeared bit by bit at this moment. His eyes faintly narrowed, but before he could speak, his pupils abruptly shrank once again.
That's because he saw that Ji Xuan's name, which was ranked first, had suddenly ignited at this moment.
At this moment, even Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan's expressions drastically changed.
That's because they knew what it meant when a name ignited. It meant that Ji Xuan and the rest had started to ignite their Academy Plaques!
Ji Xuan was planning to start the finals!
