On the last Battle Stage, the smoke gradually dissipated and the intense battle came to an end.
Naturally, the final outcome was somewhat unexpected, as no one had imagined that Wu Ling would actually be defeated. After all, amongst the eight Captains present, Wu Ling's fame was sufficient to rank within the Top 3. However, despite that, he was still defeated. Such a cruel reality caused countless people to inwardly sigh. The competition in this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was truly too intense.
All the students of the Wu Ling Academy exchanged looks and felt a little dejected. Wu Ling's defeat had dealt a considerable blow to their morale.
However, they knew that Wu Ling couldn't be blamed for this, since he had already done a good job. After all, he had even used the power of the Divine War Ape, but no one expected Xue Tianhe to have such a powerful trump card hidden up his sleeves.
Up in the sky, the Dean of the Wu Ling Academy, Wu Tianwang, also knitted his brows as he looked at River Of Blood's silhouette. He couldn't help snorting, "Those clans are really hateful. They want to meddle in everything."
It looked like Wu Tianwang was a little unhappy about Wu Ling's defeat.
The four Deans knew that he wasn't in a good mood, so they didn't say anything. However, they couldn't possibly remove River Of Blood's qualification to participate in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. If that happened, the Blood God Clan wouldn't let the matter rest.
"Cough. Since the Battle of the Best 8 has come to an end, then let's announce the next round." Dean Tensei of the Holy Spirit House coughed as he lightly smiled.
The strength that River Of Blood had displayed wasn't weak. However, he had great confidence in Ji Xuan. In this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, their Holy Spirit House would definitely be able to obtain first place.
The four Deans nodded their heads.
Seeing this, Dean Tiansheng waved his sleeves and his majestic voice boomed out from the sky like thunder, "The battle for the top eight has come to an end, and those who have advanced to the top four are all Saint Kings.
They are the four strongest teams! "
"They will be the true protagonists of this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament!"
"The Holy Spirit House!"
As Dean Tensei's powerful voice rang out, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky and directly enveloped Ji Xuan's team, attracting everyone's attention.
"Hokuang Reiwon!"
Another pillar of light descended. Mu Chen and the other four stood still as the light shone on their bodies, causing arcs of light to appear on their bodies. Thunderous cheers followed.
Naturally, the cheers of the Hokuang Reiwon students were the craziest.
"Wanhuang Lingyuan!"
The pillar of light descended again.
Wen Qingxuan's left hand tightly gripped onto her golden spear.
Her jet-black hair flowed down as her right hand was placed on her slender waist. Her golden battle armour wrapped around her voluptuous figure, extending her graceful curves.
Her beautiful face was filled with the pride of a phoenix. As her phoenix-like eyes moved, they emitted a stunning beauty.
Behind her, Pin 'er, Le' er, and the other two girls were also as beautiful as flowers, attracting everyone's attention.
"Blood God Institute!"
The last pillar of light descended on the heads of River Of Blood's team. River Of Blood stood at the head of the team.
He crossed his arms with a calm expression. However, his cold gaze was constantly sweeping across Mu Chen's body.
The four massive pillars of light had become the most eye-catching in the entire region.
As for those four teams, they were fully deserving of being the strongest. This was something that no one would deny.
They'd experienced the elimination rounds that lasted for half a year, and in the end, they'd even defeated opponents that possessed peerlessly formidable strength in the finals. Only then were they able to stand in this position and receive the cheers that covered the heavens and the earth and gazes of adoration.
"The top four teams have finally appeared. I'm afraid that the next confrontation will be even more terrifying. I wonder who will be able to win."
"I think the Holy Spirit House's Ji Xuan has the highest chance of winning. This person's strength is really unfathomable."
"It's hard to say. Wanhuang Lingyuan's Wen Qingxuan is not easy to deal with. Although her performance in the previous battles was average, I'm afraid that even Ji Xuan would not dare to underestimate her."
"That's right. I've also heard the Headmaster mention it occasionally. This Wen Qingxuan is not simple."
"Is Hokuang Reiwon's Mu Chen simple?
Even Liu Qingyun was defeated by him. I'm afraid that Liu Qingyun's strength isn't any weaker than Wu Ling's, right? "
"There's also that River Of Blood. He's someone that could even deal with Wu Ling. I'm afraid that no one wouldn't be afraid of him."
"I'm afraid that the Championship of this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament will be the most intense one in the past hundred years."
Whispers exploded in the sky. The strength of the four teams was too powerful. Therefore, without the final battle, it would be hard for anyone to determine who would be the Champion.
While the entire region was filled with earth-shattering cheers, the four teams quietly stood on the four Battle Stages as they welcomed the countless blazing gazes. Their expressions were calm and there weren't any ripples in their hearts.
The teams that could come this far were undoubtedly the pinnacle of the Spiritual Academies. Their hearts were also hard to shake.
"I wonder how the next battle will proceed?"
Shen Cangsheng looked at the other three teams as he spoke with a grave expression. Every single one of the three teams was extremely powerful. Regardless of which team they faced, they would probably have to experience a bitter battle.
"Regardless of who our next opponent is, we just have to do our best." Mu Chen said with a light smile.
"With you and Luo Li holding the fort, we'll have it easy," Li Xuantong said with a smile.
Li Xuantong replied with a smile. There were two cores in their group. One was Mu Chen, while the other was naturally Luo Li.
Furthermore, one of them was in the open, while the other was in the dark. Perhaps many people didn't know that this girl, who had always kept a low profile, was actually a pinnacle figure that wasn't inferior to the four Captains.
When Mu Chen heard their words, he couldn't help rolling his eyes at them. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something and his eyes narrowed as he raised his head.
At the same time, Luo Li, Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan, River Of Blood and the rest had also sensed something as they raised their heads.
Their gazes were directed towards the horizon as the space in the sky started to violently distort. A colossal object that was roughly a few thousand feet in size slowly broke through space.
Hiss.
When everyone saw the colossal object that broke through space, they couldn't help inhaling a mouthful of cold air.
It was a bronze mirror that was roughly a few thousand feet in size. The surroundings of the bronze mirror were filled with incomparably profound inscription patterns that were ancient and cryptic. The surface of the mirror was grey, as if it was covered in dust, making it impossible to see through it.
When the bronze mirror appeared, there were signs of chaos in this space, as if it couldn't contain such a powerful object.
The bronze mirror quietly floated on the horizon. The surface of the mirror was covered in dust, but it gave off a mysterious feeling as if it could illuminate the Great Thousand World.
"That's …"
Shock appeared in Mu Chen's eyes as he felt the Great Meru Demonic Pillar within his body faintly trembling at this moment. Furthermore, what made him even more shocked was that the page of the "Immortal Page" within his body had actually fluctuated at this moment.
"It's the Divine Artifact of the Five Great Academies, the Mirror of Judgement."
The Luo God Sword in Luo Li's hand uncontrollably surged with sword light as a sword cry resounded, as if it wanted to leave her hand and compete with the mysterious bronze mirror.
"Mirror of Judgement?"
Hearing this name, everyone's heart trembled. Mu Chen's gaze was also complicated. Speaking of which, the reason why he could enter the Spiritual Road and meet with Luo Li was probably because of this mysterious Mirror of Judgement. Those that could enter the Spiritual Road were all chosen by this Mirror of Judgement.
"What grade of Divine Artifact is this?" Mu Chen looked at Luo Li and softly asked.
"I'm afraid that it has surpassed High-Grade." Luo Li muttered.
Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of cold air once again. A Divine Artifact that has surpassed High-Grade?
Such a powerful Divine Artifact, even those ancient clans with a long history wouldn't be able to possess it. He never imagined that it would appear in the Five Great Academies.
"Legend has it that the Mirror of Judgement was left behind from the ancient times. Its light can penetrate through the Plane Barrier and illuminate the Lower Plane. No one's tracks can be hidden under its light." Luo Li said.
"It's said that in the ancient times, even Sovereign experts would be reduced to ashes if the light of the Mirror of Judgement shone on them."
"It's that terrifying?"
Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat. If that's the case, wouldn't he be able to use the Mirror of Judgement to illuminate the location of his mother?
However, this thought had only flashed for a brief moment before it was dispelled. His mother had spent so much effort just to hide him. If he were to probe by himself, there was a high chance that he would be noticed by the mysterious clan. Mu Chen did not think that he possessed the qualifications to confront the mysterious clan right now.
"It's just a legend. However, this Mirror of Judgement seems to have been injured after experiencing the Ancient Calamity. It shouldn't have such terrifying abilities right now." Luo Li smiled.
"I wonder why the Five Deans suddenly summoned the Mirror of Judgement?" Su Xuan asked in doubt.
The Mirror of Judgement didn't belong to any Spiritual Academy alone. Instead, it was controlled by the Five Great Academies. Only when the Five Deans acted together could it be summoned.
"Could it be because of the upcoming Battle of the Top 4?" Shen Cangsheng said in astonishment.
"That should be the case."
Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged a glance. This was the only reason that made sense. Otherwise, they wouldn't summon such a Divine Artifact so easily.
While everyone was guessing, Dean Tensei of the Holy Spirit House faintly smiled. Shortly after, he pointed at the Mirror of Judgement and his robust voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"You guys have guessed correctly. This time, the Battle of the Top 4 will be activated by the Mirror of Judgement."
Rustle.
When his words resounded, an earth-shattering uproar resounded in this region. Even Mu Chen and the rest looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
The Battle of the Top 4 seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
