The Great Ruler - Chapter74

Northern Spiritual Academy, East Branch, Training Field.

Today's Training Field was extremely lively. Almost all of the East Branch Heaven Class students had come here. This is because today was the day the Northern Spiritual Academy would announce the number of slots for the "Five Great Academies".

Almost all of the students who came to the Northern Spiritual Academy to train were aiming for the slots for the "Five Great Academies". They trained hard year after year in order to use the Northern Spiritual Academy as a springboard to enter the rumored "Five Great Academies".

When Mu Chen walked into the Training Field, he was shocked by the noise. He stared at the dense crowd of people and secretly smacked his lips. He never thought that the East Branch's Heaven Class would have so many students.

"Mu Chen, over here!"

Not far away, a girl's voice rang out. Mu Chen turned his gaze over and saw Tang Qian 'Er waving her hand towards him. Her charming face had a charming smile, which caused many of the surrounding boys to turn their gazes towards her.

Mu Chen also smiled at Tang Qian 'Er and walked over. After not seeing her for a month, the girl had become even more slender and elegant. Although she was wearing loose black training clothes, her exquisite curves could still be seen.

"I haven't seen you for a month. Why do I feel like you've changed a little?"

Tang Qian 'Er tilted her head and looked at Mu Chen. She was a little surprised. The current Mu Chen had stepped into the Spiritual Rotation Stage. Although he did not show it, the girl was still very observant and could still feel the changes.

"I almost died in the Black Eerie Swamp. Of course, I've changed a little." Mu Chen smiled.

"You also went to the Black Eerie Swamp?

I heard from my father that the Mu Territory and the Liu Territory seemed to have fought in the Black Eerie Swamp. I never thought that you would also go. You weren't injured, right? "Tang Qian 'Er knitted her slender eyebrows and said.

"Yes."

Mu Chen shook his head. It seems that the commotion in the Black Eerie Swamp was not small that day. Even the Tang Territory received the news. However, it seems that they did not know that the commotion was caused by the Jiu You Sparrow's evolution.

"Brother Mu!"

Shouts suddenly rang out from the surroundings as Mo Ling, Tan Qingshan and the rest squeezed their way over with smiles on their faces. They seemed to have put more emphasis on training over the past month as their bodies looked darker, especially Mo Ling. Mu Chen could feel that the Spiritual Energy within his body had become increasingly vigorous and he was probably only a step away from breaking through to the Spiritual Rotation Stage.

"Hehe, Brother Mu, it's all thanks to the Jaded Essence Fruit you gave me last time. I'm afraid it won't be long before I reach the Spiritual Rotation Stage. At that time, I'll leave you far behind." Mo Ling smiled at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen glanced at him with a smile. He was too lazy to attack him.

"I wonder how many quotas our Northern Spiritual Academy will have this time. Last time, it seemed that there were only three quotas. The East and West Academies had really fought for those three quotas."

Mo Ling licked his lips. When he mentioned the quota, his eyes flickered. It was obvious that he coveted it.

Mu Chen also nodded his head. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from behind him. He turned his head slightly and saw two figures slowly walking over.

"Eh?

It's actually Chen Fan and Huo Yun … Those two guys are finally willing to appear. "Mo Ling looked at the two of them and was a little surprised as he whispered.

When Mu Chen heard this, he was also a little surprised. He took another look at the two of them. When he was still in the Earth Class, he had already heard of their names. If they were to talk about strength, then the two of them could be considered as the peak of the East Branch Heaven Class. They were only slightly weaker than Liu Mubai. However, the two of them were quite low-key and rarely appeared in the Northern Spiritual Academy. Therefore, many of the rankings did not have their names appear.

"It's said that the two of them joined an Adventurer Team and often went to hunt Spiritual Beasts." Mo Ling said.

Mu Chen suddenly nodded his head. No wonder he could sense a faint smell of blood from the two of them. Looking at their indifferent expressions, they were indeed different from the surrounding students.

"I'm afraid that the two of them have already attempted to break through to the Spiritual Rotation Stage."

Mu Chen whispered. He could feel that the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitted from Chen Fan and Huo Yun's bodies were stronger than Mo Ling's. It seems that they were gradually condensing a Spiritual Wheel.

"It's those two guys." Tang Qian'Er's beautiful eyes also saw the two of them and she whispered.

Mu Chen could hear that her tone was a little different. He could not help but look at her with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, Brother Mu, Chen Fan and Huo Yun have known each other since they were young. The two of them have been competing with each other since they were young. After entering the Northern Spiritual Academy, they fell in love with Qian'Er. Then, they competed with each other and often fought. However, they were both rejected by her in the end. Then, the two of them mixed together and joined an Adventurer Team to gain experience. They said that they would pursue her once they obtained a spot in the Five Great Academies."

Mo Ling chuckled and said. Mu Chen was stunned. He immediately looked at the blushing Tang Qian'Er. The attractiveness of the East Branch's flower was not just for show. Wave after wave came.

While Mu Chen and Mo Ling were talking, Chen Fan and Huo Yun also looked over. To be exact, they saw Tang Qian'Er, who was beside Mu Chen. Then, a smile finally appeared on their indifferent faces and they quickly walked over.

Tang Qian'Er saw that they were heading straight for her. She helplessly pursed her lips and shrunk her body behind Mu Chen.

Her small movements also made Chen Fan and Huo Yun stunned. They immediately looked at Mu Chen. Chen Fan was still alright, but Huo Yun's gaze was a little unfriendly.

"You should be Mu Chen, right?

I've heard of your name a long time ago. We finally meet today. "Chen Fan smiled at Mu Chen and extended his hand.

"Nice to meet you."

Mu Chen also returned a smile. He glanced at Chen Fan's extended hand and shook it.

When the two hands shook, Spiritual Energy surged on Chen Fan's palm. The veins on the arm that held Mu Chen's hand throbbed.

Mu Chen felt the strong pressure from his palm, but he helplessly shook his head. He did not resist and just let Chen Fan use his strength. However, his face did not move at all.

"Chen Fan, what are you doing!" Tang Qian'Er also noticed this scene. She immediately frowned and shouted.

Chen Fan stared at the corner of Mu Chen's mouth, which seemed to contain a hint of ridicule, and frowned. This Mu Chen was indeed quite capable.

"Hehe, Qian'Er, I'm just excited. Our East Branch has not had such a powerful character for a long time." Chen Fan retracted his palm and smiled at Tang Qian'Er.

"Brother Mu Chen won't mind, right?" Chen Fan looked at Mu Chen.

"If it's just this bit of strength, I naturally won't mind." Mu Chen smiled and said.

"Then we'll have to spar." Huo Yun raised the corner of his mouth and said.

"Let's talk about it when there's a chance."

Mu Chen smiled noncommittally. He was too lazy to care about the two of them. He turned around and walked towards the front of the Cultivation Field. Tang Qian'Er angrily glared at the two of them and followed.

"Qian'Er wouldn't have fallen for this kid, right?

Then wouldn't we be fighting for half a day and letting someone else take advantage of us? "Huo Yun looked at Tang Qian'Er's beautiful figure and said gloomily.

"Then we'll have to see if he has the ability to make us give in to him." Chen Fan touched his chin and said.

"Find a chance to beat him up." Huo Yun said.

"Okay." Chen Fan smiled and nodded.

There were more and more students in the training grounds. After about half an hour, when a familiar figure slowly walked in, the noise in the area quietened down. His eyes were filled with fervor as he stared at Teacher Mo, who was walking into the training grounds.

Teacher Mo looked at the dense crowd of people and let out a faint smile. Then he did not waste any words and said: "This time, our Northern Spiritual Academy has five of the" Five Great Academies "quotas."

"Five?"

There was an uproar in the Cultivation Field. Although this quota was more than the previous one, it was still extremely tight for the students of the Northern Spiritual Academy who had the qualifications to fight for it.

[Peerless Tang Sect Words]

"Also …" Teacher Mo's gaze suddenly looked at Mu Chen and said: "Other than these five quotas, there is also a Seeded Level Quota."

"Seeded Level Quota?"

In the training grounds, all the voices seemed to have quietened down at this moment. Numerous astonished gazes stared at Teacher Mo. After a long while, quite a few people fiercely sucked in a breath of cold air. Even Chen Fan and Zhang Xuan's breathing had become heavier.

Mu Chen might be the only one who could remain calm. A Seeded Level Quota was indeed rare. However … if he was able to successfully complete the Spiritual Road, he might be able to obtain an even higher quota.

"This Seeded Level Quota can only be obtained by the strongest student in the Northern Spiritual Academy. Therefore, if you want to obtain it, you must defeat all the other competitors."

Teacher Mo looked at the shocked students and then looked at the calm Mu Chen in front of him. He smiled and said: "In our East Branch Heaven Class, there are five people who are qualified to participate in this competition. Chen Fan, Huo Yun, Mo Ling, Tang Qian'Er and … Mu Chen."

Hearing these five names, a few regretful sighs came from within the Cultivation Field. However, they also understood that if they wanted to obtain this qualification, they must have the qualifications to reach the Spiritual Rotation Stage in a short period of time. However, the only ones who fulfilled this condition were probably these five people.

"In the next month, I will guide the five of you in specific training. I will let you take that step and successfully advance to the Spiritual Rotation Stage within this month!" Teacher Mo said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Mo Ling and the others were a little excited and quickly responded. Teacher Mo was a Spirit Stage powerhouse. If he was specially guiding them, it would definitely make their training even smoother.

Mu Chen smiled helplessly. He hesitated for a moment and extended his hand.

"Mu Chen, do you have any questions?" Teacher Mo saw Mu Chen raise his hand and asked in confusion.

"Teacher Mo, I'm afraid that I don't need to take this step."

Teacher Mo was surprised for a moment. He seemed to have guessed something and his eyes suddenly focused on Mu Chen's body. Then, he felt that the Spiritual Energy fluctuation emitted from the latter's body was different from the other students.

"You … You advanced to the Spiritual Rotation Stage?" Teacher Mo exclaimed.

Hua.

An uproar suddenly broke out in the surroundings. Not only Tang Qian'Er, Mo Ling and the others were shocked as they looked at Mu Chen. Even Chen Fan and Huo Yun slightly opened their mouths.

This guy … actually reached the Spiritual Rotation Stage?!
