When Wen Busheng was defeated, the battle between Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun had also reached its climax.
The colossal black pagoda hovered in the horizon with golden flames blazing within it. Those flames seemed to be able to incinerate everything in the world. As the golden flames surged, waves of golden flames swept towards the azure light figure within the flames. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
Ear-piercing noises constantly resounded, as if Spiritual Energy was being incinerated.
The might of the Pagoda Flames that were formed from the four golden dragons was unbelievably powerful. Under the impact of the flames, the azure Spiritual Figure swiftly distorted. The originally condensed azure light had also started to distort as a pained expression appeared on the blurry face of the Spiritual Figure.
On the Battle Stage, Liu Qingyun's face drastically changed.
"Shatter!"
But before he could do anything, Mu Chen's cold voice resounded in this region.
Sizzle!
Along with Mu Chen's cold voice resounded, the golden flames in the pagoda had finally reached their limit. In an instant, the azure Spiritual Figure could no longer hold on as cracks started to appear on its body. The cracks rapidly expanded and, in the end, it completely exploded with a muffled sound.
The azure light shot out in every direction, but it was swiftly incinerated into nothingness by the golden flames.
As the golden flames spread, it quickly became empty. The green spiritual figure no longer existed.
That cyan spiritual shadow was directly refined into nothingness.
Poof!
A mouthful of blood instantly spewed from Liu Qingyun's mouth as his face swiftly turned pale. The Spiritual Energy ripples around him had also withered to the limit. The Spiritual Figure contained his blood essence, so it was linked to him. Now that the Spiritual Figure had been refined, he had suffered heavy injuries.
He had also suffered heavy injuries.
Rustle!
When Liu Qingyun spewed blood, an earth-shattering uproar rang out around the Battle Stage. Many people had their eyes widened with shock on their faces. Liu Qingyun was actually defeated!
"Liu Qingyun has already executed such a method, but I never expected that he would still be defeated by Mu Chen!"
"Truly worthy of being the Numero Uno of the elimination round."
“”
Countless people couldn't help exclaiming. Mu Chen had only passed through the First Grade Spirit Disaster, while Liu Qingyun had reached the Third Grade Spirit Disaster.
But even so, Mu Chen was still able to win.
Such fighting strength.
Everyone had no choice but to admire him.
"Big Brother Mu Chen won!" Yu Xi's face was filled with excitement at this moment, her eyes filled with emotions.
Ye Qingling, Su Ling 'er, Sun' er and the rest couldn't help revealing joy on their faces.
The surrounding students of Hokuang Reiwon had already burst into tsunami-like cheers. Every single one of them had an excited expression on their faces. It had been a long time since their Hokuang Reiwon had obtained such an impressive result in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
In the past Great Spiritual Academy Tournaments, the gazes of the other five Great Academies were filled with ridicule. But today, those gazes were filled with astonishment.
However, they were filled with astonishment, which made them feel extremely satisfied.
"This Great-layered Pagoda has reached twenty to thirty percent maturity."
Ling Xi looked at the youth on the Battle Stage as she revealed a smile. After all, she had also cultivated the Great Pagoda Art.
Therefore, she knew how powerful the Great-layered Pagoda was. It was said that it was an extremely powerful Divine Ability of Aunt Jing's clan. When it was cultivated to the limit, even a Sovereign expert would be easily refined if they were sucked into the pagoda. It was extremely terrifying.
However, it hadn't been long since Mu Chen obtained the complete Great Pagoda Art. With his talent, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to reach greater mastery in it in the future.
In the place where the students of Wanhuang Lingyuan gathered, a myriad of flowers gathered. All sorts of beautiful faces were pleasing to the eyes.
At this moment, all of them were sizing up Mu Chen's Battle Stage. After all, the confrontation between him and Liu Qingyun was extremely eye-catching.
"This Mu Chen is truly formidable. Even Liu Qingyun isn't his opponent."
"It's said that Liu Qingyun is a genius of the Wind Spirit Clan. Those that come from such a clan aren't simple. I never expected that he wouldn't be able to defeat Mu Chen."
"That's not enough. Hehe, that Mu Chen is pretty handsome."
"Hehe, then why don't you go and lure him over? Our Wanhuang Lingyuan wouldn't mind having such an outstanding male student."
“”
The words of those girls were extremely bold. As they laughed, a fragrance spread out, causing the surrounding students of other Spiritual Academies to cast covetous gazes over.
"Qian 'er, did your childhood sweetheart really come from the Northern Spiritual Realm?
Isn't he a little too formidable?
That Liu Qingyun is a genius of the Wind Spirit Clan. "Beside Tang Qian 'er, a beautiful girl praised.
"Yeah, he was already outstanding when he was in the Northern Spiritual Realm."
Tang Qian 'er said with a smile. Her beautiful eyes were also staring at the slender figure of the youth. The expression in her eyes was a little complicated. Unknowingly, he had already become so dazzling, and the distance between them seemed to be getting further and further.
This thought made Tang Qian 'er's spirited eyes slightly dim. But shortly after, she firmly clenched her hands. The future was still far away, no one knew what would happen in the future. Just like a long time ago, when the snot-nosed brat, Mu Chen, followed behind her. Perhaps back then, he didn't think that he would be so dazzling in the future, right?
On the Golden Battle Stage
Mu Chen looked at the emptied Nine-layered Pagoda and waved his hand. The Nine-layered Pagoda turned into a black light and flew into his body. Thereafter, his gaze turned towards the pale Liu Qingyun and faintly said, "Do you still want to continue?"
Right now, the Spiritual Energy ripples around Liu Qingyun's body were extremely weak. Clearly, he had suffered heavy injuries. If he were to continue, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning.
Liu Qingyun wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and looked deeply at Mu Chen. "I'm a man of my words. You've won this battle."
He had already brought out his strongest move. However, even so, it was still broken by Mu Chen. Therefore, if he continued to tangle with Mu Chen, he would only be seeking his own humiliation. Fortunately, it was better for him to take the initiative to admit defeat. At the very least, he could still show some grace.
"Thanks for letting me win."
Mu Chen cupped his hands and smiled. There wasn't any deep hatred between him and Liu Qingyun. Therefore, there was no need for him to force Liu Qingyun into a dead end.
Standing up, Liu Qingyun cast a glance at Mu Chen and faintly said, "Although you've won, don't be too complacent. Your greatest opponent is Ji Xuan. He's not that easy to deal with."
"I know that he's not simple. However, I don't think that I'll be easy to deal with as well." Mu Chen's voice was calm, but there was an inextinguishable confidence in it that caused others to raise their eyebrows.
Liu Qingyun fell into silence. Indeed, Ji Xuan was powerful. However, the youth before him wasn't simple either. If the two of them were to clash, it would definitely be earth-shattering.
Up in the sky, the five Deans all had different expressions as they looked down.
A smile hung on Dean Tai Cang's face. Mu Chen's performance had exceeded his expectations. He never imagined that even Liu Qingyun would be defeated by him. If that's the case, their Hokuang Reiwon would definitely be able to enter the Top 4. This result was already considered pretty good.
"Haha. Dean Tai Cang, Hokuang Reiwon has produced a formidable newcomer this time. Congratulations."
Dean Tian Song of the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy lightly sighed. However, he still had a graceful smile on his face.
"Dean Tian Song is overpraising me. Mu Chen was just lucky. Your academy's Liu Qingyun is also a dragon amongst men." Dean Tai Cang lightly smiled.
"There are already three teams that have advanced from the Top 8." Dean Tensei of the Holy Spirit House said with a faint smile.
On the four Battle Stages, Mu Chen had defeated Liu Qingyun. Luo Li had also easily defeated her opponent, Shen Cangsheng. Li Xuantong had also won. As for Su Xuan, she had only obtained a draw. However, this didn't matter much. Their team had already obtained an absolute advantage.
Ji Xuan had defeated Wen Busheng. Their team had obtained a complete victory. Everyone had defeated their opponents.
Other than their two teams, the third team led by Wen Qingxuan had also obtained victory. Compared to Mu Chen and Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan had an easier time winning. After all, Fang Yun's strength was considered to be the weakest amongst the four Captains. If it wasn't for the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron in her hand, she might not have been able to last so long against Wen Qingxuan.
As for the other four team members led by Wen Qingxuan, they each had their own victories. However, in terms of points, they still surpassed the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy. Therefore, this competition ended with their victory.
Thus, there were already three teams that had advanced into the top four in the best eight battles.
As Mu Chen stood on the Battle Stage, Luo Li, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and Su Xuan, who had ended their battles, flew over.
"You've worked hard," said Mu Chen with a smile towards them.
"How can I be compared to you?"
Said Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong helplessly. Although their battles could be considered as intense, they clearly couldn't be compared to the battles between Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun.
"Even I wasn't able to obtain victory," said Su Xuan, feeling a little embarrassed. Amongst the entire team, she was the only one who had managed to obtain a draw.
"That's enough. It's fine as long as we can advance into the Top 4."
Said Mu Chen indifferently. The team from the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy wasn't easy to deal with. Su Xuan was the weakest amongst them. Therefore, it was already extremely good for her to be able to obtain a draw.
"On the contrary, Luo Li's battle ended the fastest."
Said Shen Cangsheng with a smile. Amongst the eight teams, Luo Li was the first to end her battle. Her efficiency had attracted countless exclamations of admiration.
Hearing that, Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile. Even amongst the eight Captains, Luo Li's strength could be considered to be at the peak. Therefore, it was naturally effortless for him to deal with a team member.
"As of now, there's only one team that hasn't obtained a result."
Said Luo Li in a soft voice. Looking towards a Battle Stage in the distance with her beautiful eyes, chilling intent flowed within her clear and limpid eyes.
That Battle Stage was the place where River Of Blood and Wu Ling had fought.
