Chapter 15: Spirit Destruction Bead

The change in the ring occurred in a split second. When many people recovered, they noticed that Liu Mubai had already appeared in the ring. Their facesinstantly became surprised. What is this situation?

Mu Chen did not care about the expressionless Liu Mubai. He only lowered his head to stare at his hand. The red light faded away and it revealed a fiery red bead at the size of a longan. The surface of the bead was filled with an obscure pattern. Within it, a violent Spiritual Energy seemed to flow like a tidal stream.

“Spirit Destruction Bead…”

Mu Chen’s slender fingerspressedagainst the smooth red marble. He let out a faint smile, only that the smile was a little bit cold. The Spirit Destruction Bead was not something that is used for self-cultivation. It was an extremely destructive Spiritual Artifact. When apowerhouse reached a certain degree of strength, they would be able to compress that immense Spiritual Energy within this tiny bead. Then, the user would only need to activate it and an extremely powerful Spiritual Energy attack would burst out.

Creating the Spirit Destruction Bead requires a special metal called Spirit Gold. This metal is extremely expensive. Coupled with the fact that creating the Spirit Destruction Bead requires precise control and it has a high rate of failure, the Spirit Destruction Bead was rather rare. Looking at the one within Mu Chen’s hand, the extent of the Spiritual Energy being condensed was strong even to cause a grave injury to a person at the Spiritual Rotation Stage.

This Liu Yang wanted to kill him.

“Return it back to me!”

Liu Yang became clear-headed at this moment and his face became even paler. He knew that his behavior broke the rules and if he was punished, it would not be light. Therefore, he immediately glared fiercely at Mu Chen and extended his hand.

“Big Brother, hurry and snatch that item back, don’t let him have the evidence!

When he heard Liu Yang’s words, Liu Mubai’s eyes flashed. After all, their status wasn’t low. If there wasn’t any evidence within Mu Chen’s hand, they would be able to get through it.

“If you dare move recklessly, this Spirit Destruction Bead might explode on your body.” Before Liu Mubai was able to take any action, Mu Chen smiled and said with the Spirit Destruction Bead tucked between his fingers.

“This time, Liu Yang was indeed a bit too reckless. Return the Spirit Destruction Bead back to him. You should do others a favor sometimes and it would benefit both of you, wouldn’t you say?” Liu Mubai’s eyes became serious and he stared at Mu Chen as he slowly spoke.

Mu Chen declined to commit on it and let out a smile.

“What is this all about?” At this moment, Teacher Mo also stepped onto the stage. He stared at the three people and shouted out.

When Liu Yang noticed Teacher Mo appearing over here, his face instantly became white. He stared fiercely at Mu Chen and attempted to threaten him to keep his mouth shut.

However, Mu Chen completely ignored his threat. He lifted up the Spirit Destruction Bead towards Teacher Mo.

Teacher Mo stared at the Spirit Destruction Bead within Mu Chen’s hand. His face instantly turned grim and he turned his sight towards Liu Yang. Anger could be heard within his voice as he shouted: “You actually dared to use the Spirit Destruction Bead during the match?”

“Spirit Destruction Bead?”

Many students were paying attention to this side. When they heard the words, Spirit Destruction Bead, they instantly made a big commotion.

“He really is shameless. He actually brought out the Spirit Destruction Bead!”

“As expected from the young master from the largest territory in Northern Spiritual Realm, how rich, ohoho.”

Sounds of fury and sneers came from the surrounding audience. Liu Yang’s face also became unusually hideous. This time, he really shamed his own family as well.

At this moment, Principal Xiao and the West Branch’s Teacher Xi also rushed over here. Teacher Mo went over to explain the situation a bit and everybody noticed Principal Xiao’s expression becoming more disgusted.

“Principal, Liu Yang only did this on an impulse. However, he did not harm anyone. This matter should be excusable.” Liu Mubai hurried and said when he noticed this.

“Senior Liu, are you trying to say that it should be considered inexcusable only after I was seriously wounded by his Spirit Destruction Bead?” Mu Chen let out a slight smile and said.

Liu Mubai’s eyes glanced coldly at Mu Chen and he said: “What do you want then?”

“It is not what I want, but the Northern Spiritual Academy has rules within it. We should deal with this matter in accordance to the rules.” Mu Chen said with a casual smile.

Liu Mubai’s eyes flashed. But just when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Principal Xiao. Principal Xiao looked at Teacher Mo and Teacher Xi and asked: “How should we deal with this situation?”

“Based on the rules, Liu Yang would be disqualified from ascending to the Heaven Class this time.” Teacher Mo thought for a while and said.

Liu Yang’s face instantly changed. If he could not ascend to the Heaven Class, he would not be able to compete for a place within the Five Great Academies. This would be a fatal blow to him.

“Isn’t this a bit too serious? There aren’t many individuals within our Northern Spiritual Academy that has the qualifications to compete for the Five Great Academies spots…” Teacher Xi pondered for a moment. Then he lowered his voice and said: “And if this were to happen, Liu Yang’s father probably would not let it go. Although we, the Northern Spiritual Academy may not fear this, but it would still be troubling if we form a bad relationship with the number one Territory within the Northern Spiritual Realm.”

“However, Mu Chen’s father is also the Mu Territory’s Lord. If we let this go, the Mu Territory might be quite angry with us.” Teacher Mo also said out loud.

Principal Xiao shook his head helplessly. If they were just ordinary students, then it would not be so troubling. However, both of them are the sons of Territory Lords within the Northern Spiritual Realm. It would not be good for them to favor one over the other.

“Ohoho, Mu Chen.”

Principal Xiao suddenly looked at Mu Chen, who was beside them. He smiled and said: “About this matter right now, would you say…”

Mu Chen saw Principal Xiao’s smile and he knew what the latter was trying to say. He immediately smiled and said: “Principal, Liu Yang was indeed quite rash this time. However, I am willing to forgive since I wasn’t hurt…”

After they heard Mu Chen’s words, not only was Principal Xiao stunned, even Liu Yang was shocked. It was evident that he did not expect Mu Chen would let him go like this. However, when he saw Mu Chen’s smile, his heart suddenly calmed down. This boy may look mild normally, but his methods were extremely ruthless. He still remembered about the ruthlessness he showed when Mu Chen snatched away his Spirit Destruction Bead through the act of trading lives.

“However, he still violated the rules. How about this, I’ll treat this Spirit Destruction Bead as an apology gift and will not return it to him. Then, I will not make a fuss about this issue.” Mu Chen smiled as he said.

He knew that this matter was troubling to Principal Xiao and the others. However, he also knew that it wouldn’t have much effect if he were to keep at it. If that’s the case, he might as well take advantage of this and sell a favor to Principal Xiao at the same time.

“You!”

When Liu Yang heard that Mu Chen actually wanted to take his Spirit Destruction Bead, his eyes popped out in anger. The Spirit Destruction Bead was made personally by his father and was something left to him in order to protect his life when necessary. It was an extremely valuable item.

“You’re not willing? Then let’s just punish you according to the rules.” Mu Chen glanced at Liu Yang and said helplessly.

The corner of Liu Yang’s eyes jumped. He could only hold it in. Although the Spirit Destruction Bead was valuable, it was nothing compared to a place within the Five Great Academies.

“Oh, since you’ve taken a fancy to this Spirit Destruction Bead, we will give it to you.” It was apparent that Liu Mubai was more calculating than Liu Yang. He took a deep look at Mu Chen and said with a faint smile.

Mu Chen smiled as he glanced at him. Although Liu Mubai hid it very well, he could see a hint of resent within his eyes. This guy is definitely more troubling than Liu Yang.

“Since Mu Chen would not make a fuss about it, then this matter will be over now. However, if Liu Yang dares to do this again in the future, the Northern Spiritual Academy will not care who your father is and handle it according to the rules!” When Principal Xiao noticed that Mu Chen was willing to remain silent on this, his heart was slightly relieved. Since he did not have to be troubled about this matter, his favorability towards Mu Chen increased slightly. Then, he immediately said in a strict voice towards Liu Yang.

Liu Mubai’s face changed from red and green alternately. He did not dare say anything more. Although the Northern Spiritual Academy maintains neutral within the Northern Spiritual Realm, they were not afraid of the Liu Territory.

“Thank you, Principal.”

Liu Mubai smiled. Then, he extended a hand towards Mu Chen and said: “I have to thank you as well, Junior Mu Chen. That’s right, you will be a Heaven Class student soon. I am quite interested in you, so I hope that I would have an opportunity to have an exchange with you in the future.”

His handsome face had a smile plastered on it. However, a few individuals were able to perceive a dark cold chill swirling in the depths of his eyes.

“Senior Liu, you’re joking with me.”

Mu Chen stared at Liu Mubai. A sunny smile emerged on his thin and handsome face as well. He extended his hand to shake with Liu Mubai. Then, he retracted it back. His eyes still showed calmness deep inside.

Liu Mubai was indeed outstanding and he also knew how to endure it silently. However, he was still inferior to the monsters within the Spiritual Road, who would smile harmonious for one moment and would not hesitate to kill in the next moment.

In the ring, the two of them shook hands. Although both of them had a smile, the ones that are sensitive were able to faintly feel a confrontation underneath this peacefulness.

“That Mu Chen…really is quite amazing. He actually did not retreat back in front of Brother Liu.”

Not far away, the West Branch Heaven Class Seniors watched the scene. They could not help but mutter this. Even without mentioning about Mu Chen’s strength, just by having the courage to stand against Liu Mubai was shocking enough.

“In the future, this person will rise up in our Northern Spiritual Academy Heaven Class. It will probably become livelier…”

Hong Ling rolled her black hair a bit. She stared at the boy standing in front of Liu Mubai in the ring. The boy’s slender body, handsome face and disposition was completely different than the lazy boy in the past. This gap entranced her slightly.

Without her knowing, the person that she neglected had actually become this outstanding.

After the matter about Liu Yang had calmed down, Principal announced the results of this Academy Competition on the spot. The East Branch naturally was in the center of attention. Mu Chen, Liu Yang, Tan Qingshan and the others Earth Class members that had advanced into the Spiritual Movement Stage successfully ascended to the Heaven Class.

Mu Chen watched as the Academy Competition ended and he stretched his waist. He was getting closer to the Five Great Academies. The grudge that he had not settled in the Spiritual Road, he will resolve it during the Five Great Academies.

Mu Chen lifted his head and stared at the blue sky. He let out a chuckle.

Ji Xuan…This time, let us have a good fight.


Chapter 16: Heaven Class

The curtains gradually closed for the Academy Competition. However, the aftereffects created by the Academy Competition continued to envelop the Northern Spiritual Academy. For a few days, the entire Northern Spiritual Academy was discussing about that fierce battle at the Academy Competition.

In the Northern Spiritual Academy, Mu Chen would always remain modest. If it wasn’t because of the matter regarding about the Spiritual Road, perhaps many students wouldn’t even pay attention to him. Although he had quite a powerful background, there was still a bit of gap in terms of reputation when you compare it with a dazzling figure like Liu Yang. Before the match between Mu Chen and Liu Yang, many individuals did not feelthat Mu Chen was promising.

But something unexpected appeared in front of their eyes.

Mu Chen, who seemingly remained a low profile, triumphantly defeated Liu Yang. He managed to successfully ascend to the Heaven Class with the title of Earth Class Number One. Moreover, everybody knew that he would be able to have a decent rank in the Northern Spiritual Academy Heaven Class with his Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase strength.

This shocked many individuals. Only now, they felt that it wasn’t so unbelievable for Mu Chen to be able to obtain the only one Spiritual Road’s qualification within the Northern Spiritual Realm.

At the Northern Spiritual Academy, the Heaven Class could be considered the gathering place for all the outstanding students. In other words, the weakest members of the Heaven Class would still have the strength of a Spiritual Movement Stage Initial Phase.

Every single student would treat Heaven Class as their goal. This is because it was the only path to enter the “Five Great Academies”. They would only be qualified to compete for a place within the “Five Great Academies” if they ascend to the Heaven Class.

The selection for the “Five Great Academies” was extremely harsh. The first condition was that the student must have reached the Spiritual Rotation Stage before the age of 18. Just this one condition, many youth’s dreams were stopped.

Within the current Heaven Class in the Northern Spiritual Academy, there are probably no more than five individuals who reached this requirement.

Therefore, you could see how terrifying the acceptance conditions are for the “Five Great Academies”. Despite the harsh conditions, many talented youths would flock to it like moths flying towards a flame. This is because of the powerful might of the “Five Great Academies”. Even Mu Chen knew clearly about it. Even this vast Northern Spiritual Realm was less than an ant in the eyes of the “Five Great Academies”. The Territory Lords at this place were at most at the level of a Spirit Stage. This strength would probably be easily surpassed by any instructor inside the Five Great Academies.

Moreover, genuine Sovereign powerhouses exists in the “Five Great Academies”. These individuals are big shots that could easily upturn the world.

If they would like to emerge out of the countless geniuses throughout the Great Thousand World, even gifted youths like Mu Chen would not be able to become someone big without proper guidance. Even the most unrefined diamond would only shine through a master’s careful engraving. This high-end cultivation guidance was something that neither the Northern Spiritual Academy nor Mu Chen’s father could give him.

Based on Mu Feng’s description, if Mu Chen’s mother was by his side, perhaps she could do it, but unfortunately…

So the Five Great Academies was a stepping stone for becoming strong.

“Oi, the two of you should hurry…You’re heading for the first time to train at the Heaven Class today, yet you are still fooling around.” At a gravel road covered by tree’s shadows inside the Northern Spiritual Academy, Tang Qian’Er muttered as she stared in dissatisfaction towards the two boys behind her.

Mu Chen looked at the slim figure of Tang Qian’Er and said lazily: “Why are you so impatient…Isn’t there still some time?”

“You idiot, all the good locations would be taken at the Cultivation Field since you’re so slow.” Tang Qian’Er batted an eye at Mu Chen and spoke.

Mu Chen helplessly shook his head. Beside him, Tan Qingshan scratched his head and said: “Mu Chen, let’s listen to Senior Qian’Er and speed up a bit.”

He stared at the graceful and exquisite figure of the girl and his stern expression turned slightly red.

Mu Chen glanced at his red face in surprise. He could not help but laugh and say: “Do you like Sister Qian’Er?”

Tan Qingshan’s face instantly turned red. Sweat began to emerge on his forehead.

“BANG!”

Before Mu Chen had a chance to say more, he noticed Tang Qian’Er turning back and walking over here in anger. Her slender leg was raised and she directly kicked Mu Chen’s knee.

“If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe that I will hit you?” Tang Qian’Er raised her eyebrow and asked.

The pain coming from his knee made Mu Chen grin. However, he seemed to have noticed that the girl was a bit angry from the fact that she raised her eyebrow. He immediately let out a dry cough and quickly said: “Let’s go. Let’s hurry to the Cultivation Field.”

Tang Qian’Er let out a quiet hmph. She walked forward again while she talked: “You two have only just entered the Heaven Class, so you are still considered to be newbies. In the future, you should be more attentive. The Heaven Class is quite troublesome and there are many irritating individuals. Although your father may be the Mu Territory Lord, many individuals would not care about it within the Northern Spiritual Academy.”

“Sister Qian’Er, do I look like a person who enjoys using my father’s identity to oppress others?” Mu Chen chuckled and said.

Tang Qian’Er thought for a moment, then she nodded. Mu Chen never did mention about his father’s identity. The reputation he had within the Northern Spiritual Academy was earned by himself.

“It’s best if you know it…” Tang Qian’Er chided.

“You should also know that you should not tease those old farts in the Heaven Class. They are not qualified to continue higher, but this is why it is a hassle.”

Mu Chen nodded. He knew what Tang Qian’Er was referring to by those old farts. It was the veteran students that have not left the Northern Spiritual Academy and are already disqualified from entering the “Five Great Academies”.

Because these students failed to reach the Spiritual Rotation Stage by 18, they lost the qualifications to enter the “Five Great Academies”. Without this goal, there were some that muddle around aimlessly like a mixed taste that hasn’t departed from your mouth yet. It was these individuals who do not care about the Northern Spiritual Academy’s rules. Thus, in most cases, very few were willing to provoke them.

“I do not like to provoke others.” Mu Chen shook his head and did not say anything more. However, Tang Qian’Er understood the meaning behind those words as they were quite close. He would not provoke others, but if others were to provoke him, this seemingly good-natured boy would let them understand a person isn’t like their appearance.

“Relax, I will protect you. Within the East Branch Heaven Class, I was never afraid of anyone.” Tang Qian’Er smiled tenderly. The girl’s smile was like a flower, it was quite moving.

Seeing their informal conversation, Tan Qingshan could not get a word in and he could only just follow them.

The three of them walked towards the east side of the Northern Spiritual Academy. Ten minutes later, they finally stopped. They stared directly in front. Located there was an enormous Great Hall. Outside of the Great Hall, there was a crowd of students hurrying inside.

Mu Chen stared at the Great Hall and a touch of surprise passed through his eyes. At the location, he could feel that the Spiritual Aura within the World seemed to be attracted and gathered at the center of the Great Hall continuously. The Spiritual Aura within the world seemed to be many times denser compared to the outside.

“Is this a…Spirit Convergence Array?” Mu Chen asked.

Tang Qian’Er nodded and said with a prideful voice: “This Cultivation Hall is an important location for the Northern Spiritual Academy. Only the Heaven Class students are qualified to enter this place. The Northern Spiritual Academy paid a great price in order to invite a Spirit Array Master from the Five Great Academies to arrange a Third Rank Spirit Convergence Array inside this Cultivation Hall. This is also the only Third Rank Spirit Convergence Array in the Northern Spiritual Realm.”

“A Third Rank Spirit Convergence Array.”

Mu Chen smacked his lips. A Spirit Convergence Array was a Spiritual Array that is extremely beneficial for cultivation. As the Young Master of the Mu Territory, he naturally understood the value of a Third Rank Spirit Convergence Array. This level of Spiritual Array was not something that the Mu Territory could arrange. Without mentioning about the enormous amount of rare ingredients it required, even a Spiritual Array Master wasn’t something that many forces could afford in the Northern Spiritual Realm. The Northern Spiritual Academy must have performed many favors in order to invite one over.

“It is said that there are Spirit Convergence Arrays at the Sixth Rank or higher in the Five Great Academies. The cultivation speed at those locations is simply incomparable.” Tan Qian’Er said with a longing voice. A Third Rank Spirit Convergence Array was already this amazing, then it was impossible to imagine how amazing a legendary Sixth Rank Spirit Convergence Array would be.

“When you enter the Five Great Academies, you will naturally be able to experience it. Come on, let’s enter now.” Mu Chen smiled and he led them inside the most precious hall within the Northern Spiritual Academy.

After passing through the heavily guarded doors, a vast plaza appeared in their eyes. Many stone pillars with complex spirit engravings were positioned inside the plaza. As the lights flashed, the Spiritual Aura within the World was gathered at this location.

“Huuu.”

Mu Chen gently let out a light breath. He could feel the rich Spiritual Aura entering his body through his breath and could not help but letting out a praise. It truly is a Third Rank Spirit Convergence Array.

“The cultivation time is about to come. Let’s hurry inside. The closer you are to the Spiritual Array, the denser the Spiritual Aura would be. We must find a good position.” As she pulled Mu Chen, Tang Qian’Er walked quickly with Tan Qingshan to the inside off the Cultivation Field.

There were already numerous Heaven Class students at the Cultivation Field. It was apparent that Tang Qian’Er’s reputation was quite big within the East Branch Heaven Class. Many people shot a gaze over as they saw her actions.

“Who is that boy? He’s actually getting so close to Tang Qian’Er.”

“Oh, you don’t even know him? He is that Mu Chen. A few days ago at the Academy Competition, he defeated Liu Yang and ascended to the Heaven Class with the title of the Earth Class Number One. It is said that this Mu Chen has already reached the Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase.”

“Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase? That’s quite amazing, he would be rather high up within the Heaven Class with that level of strength…”

“He’s pretty good. However, it is not enough to become fearless within the Heaven Class… Heh, who knows how many people like Tang Qian’Er over here? Jiang Li, Teng Yong are also both at the Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase. This boy will probably cause a lot of trouble.”

While these people spoke, they stared at the other direction within the Cultivation Field. A few figures were quietly sitting cross-legged over there. However, their face seemed to have slightly darkened and they stared sullenly at the source that caused this. It was Tang Qian’Er pulling Mu Chen.

As Mu Chen was pulled by Tang Qian’Er, he glanced around the location and saw the numerous gazes. He immediately let out a helpless smile, it seems that he underestimated Tang Qian’Er’s popularity within the East Branch Heaven Class.
