Chapter 625 - Mu Chen Appears

Chapter 625 - Mu Chen Appears

Lightning flickered on the Golden Batte Stage. Along with the dissipation of lightning, a familiar silhouette gradually appeared under the countless astonished gazes.

When they clearly saw the appearance of that silhouette, innumerable people instantly blinked their eyes so much so that there were even some were blinking their eyes with fear written on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.

“That’s... Mu Chen?!”

“Wasn’t he trapped in the Mirror of Judgement? Why is he here?”

“How is that possible... could he have possibly escaped from the Mirror of Judgement?”

“That’s way too frightening...”

“...”

A commotion rang out between the heaven and earth. Almost everyone had their eyes widened in disbelief. Clearly, the shock this scene brought them wasn’t inferior to Ji Xuan bringing out his Sovereign Sea...

The students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were also startled as they watched this scene. However, they swiftly recovered from their shock as ecstasy surged in their eyes, followed by deafening cheers.

“Woah, Brother Mu has appeared!”

“Haha, no wonder he’s the Overlord of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s Heavenly Ranking!”

“Brother Mu, deal with those two bastards!”

Every single student of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy revealed an excited expression. Although Luo Li possessed surprising strength as well, she had been too low profile in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, whereas Mu Chen had charged forth with appalling speed ever since he entered and became the brightest star of the academy.

Moreover, as he surpassed his limits time and time again, he started to receive the genuine acknowledgement from everyone in the academy, even when he replaced Shen Cangsheng as the Overlord of the Heavenly Ranking. No one was unconvinced by it, since they knew that he did possess that sort of qualification.

Unknowingly, in the hearts of every student, Mu Chen had become the benchmark of their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, which also became a sort of conviction.

Thus, when they saw the appearance of Mu Chen, the excitement in their hearts could not be concealed and leaked out.

“This fellow...” Su Ling’er’s eyes flickered with radiance as she looked at the slender silhouette in the Golden Battle Stage. She bit her rosy lips as her hands became tightly clenched from the excitement.

“Big Brother Mu Chen finally appeared, I knew he wouldn’t let us disappointed!” Yu Xi’s face was filled with revere.

Ye Qingling also took a breath of relief as she looked at the sudden burst of splendour in the eyes of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s students. Initially, they were a little dejected, but at this moment, they seemed to have been injected with unbounded confidence as their faces were filled with excitement. It appears that they have always believed that as long as Mu Chen appeared, he would be able to turn the situation around.

Because ever since Mu Chen entered the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he had never let anyone feel disappointed in his actions.

That youth gave others an irresistible faith that came from his self-confidence.

No matter how powerful his opponent was, he never retreated and was overflowing with fighting intent.

“Showing off to save beauties the moment he appears, really...” Ling Xi lightly smiled as her tensed figure also gradually loosened up. A smile hung on the corner of her lips as Mu Chen’s performance had not disappointed her.

And under the earth-shattering commotion, Mu Chen lowered his head as he glanced at the two girls in his embrace on the Golden Battle Stage as he spoke, “Are the two of you alright?

Luo Li’s gaze was filled with pleasant surprise as she looked at the familiar face with a smile and shook her head shortly after. When Wen Qingxuan saw Mu Chen’s face, she was also stunned, before being woken up by the commotion and realised that Mu Chen was embracing her waist. In an instant, her face flushed red as she immediately struggled in Mu Chen’s arm as she stared at him with hatred.

“You’re trying to take advantage of me?”

Looking at the raging girl, Mu Chen spoke with helplessness, “Look at the situation, I’m saving you, okay?”

“Hmph, does it feel good to embrace one in each hand?” Wen Qingxuan was unconvinced as she snorted, “Furthermore, your demeanour is a little too bad to let two girls fight for so long!”

Mu Chen scratched his head as he looked at Ji Xuan, who was in midair. His black pupils flashed with eerie light as he showed a faint smile. “Sorry about that, I’ll be taking over the battle.”

“Can you do it? That fellow even established his Sovereign Sea. Although he isn’t a genuine Sovereign Realm expert, he is still an existence that we can’t hold a candle to.” Despite glancing at him with doubt, there was a hint of worry in the depth of Wen Qingxuan’s eyes.

“Let me help you. I can still fight. Although he has established his Sovereign Sea, if I were to fight, I might not lose to him.” Luo Li also spoke out in a soft tone.

Mu Chen smiled as he lightly shook his head. “I have been waiting a long time for this battle.”

Luo Li went into silence as she did not speak any longer. Furthermore, she knew that this battle before her eyes belonged to Mu Chen.

“Be cautious.”

Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan exchanged a glance as they both slowly backed off and shifted their cold gazes towards Xue Tianhe, who was gravely injured and embedded in the Battle Stage by Mu Chen. Although he had already lost all of his fighting strength, the two girls clearly despised of all his despicable actions earlier; thus, they would definitely not let him off so easily.

Mu Chen wasn’t bothered by Xue Tianhe’s situation as he slowly rose into the air, before standing right in front of Ji Xuan as they faced each other.

Ji Xuan’s gaze was cold. Ever since Mu Chen appeared, his gaze was fixed on him as chill and killing intent intertwined in the depth of his eyes. In the end, he outlined a savage smile and slightly leaned his head as he stared at Mu Chen, “I never thought that you’d be able to escape. What a surprise.”

“This is only the beginning of your surprise.” Mu Chen smiled. However, there wasn’t any warmth in his smile as cold killing intent was also present in his eyes as he felt the disorder of Spiritual Energy around Luo Li. Clearly, she was injured from her earlier battle with Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan lightly shook his head as he answered, “It doesn’t matter now since you’re able to escape. It merely fits my intention. I wonder, if I thoroughly defeat you here, will those students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy still revere and have confidence in you?”

He clearly saw the splendour burst out from the innumerable students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. If he defeated Mu Chen now, those eyes would only be lit for a moment, before dimming down. Which would be a wonderful thrill for him.

Mu Chen smiled, but he did not reply to his words. He slowly clenched his fists as boundless Spiritual Energy became like a volcano as it erupted.

Boom!

A gush of powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuated around Mu Chen. The robust even surpassed before.

“Mhm? Third Grade Spirit Disaster?”

Ji Xuan’s brows twitched as he sensed that Spiritual Energy fluctuation as a smear of mockery was revealed from the corner of his lips. “Looks like you benefitted quite a bit in the Mirror of Judgement.”

Before entering the Mirror of Judgement, Mu Chen’s strength was only at First Grade Spirit Disaster and right now, his power had reached the Third Grade Spirit Disaster. Evidently, this showed that Mu Chen had broken through Second Grade Spirit Disaster in the Mirror of Judgement...

“However, this level of Spiritual Energy doesn’t have the slightest threat to me right now.” Ji Xuan smiled as his face instantly turned cold. His finger pointed out as a sizeable divine light gushed forth from the Sovereign Sea behind him. It turned into a corporeal form, shuttling through space and shot towards Mu Chen.

With a casual point of his finger, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation had far surpassed the experts of Third Grade Spirit Disaster.

Boom!

Yet when the astonishing Spiritual Energy ripples of divine light shot over, Mu Chen still maintained a calm expression as brilliant lightning burst forth from his body. Those lightning bolts were like starch as they coiled around Mu Chen and swiftly integrated into his body.

Tsk! Tsk!

Mu Chen’s skin turned utterly radiant like silver from the flickering of lightning as numerous lightning runes appeared with flickers on his chest.

One rune... five runes... seven runes... eight runes... nine runes!

Right now, Mu Chen’s Lightning God’s Physique had actually reached the height of Nona Lightning Physique!

When the ninth lightning rune appeared, Mu Chen’s black pupils looked to have been forged from lightning. With lightning flickered within them, it was like a world of lightning.

He strode forth and threw a punch out.

Rumble!

Despite his fist looking slow, it only took an instant for it to slam against the divine light. Lightning gushed out as it tore the divine light apart in an overbearing manner with just a fist!

“You’re trying to contend against a Sovereign with the strength of your physique? What a ludicrous dream!” Seeing the starch of lightning around Mu Chen’s body, Ji Xuan’s gaze was grave as he sneered. Although he felt that Mu Chen’s current physical body was compelling, it was too naïve for Mu Chen to think that he could contend against him.

“You’re considered a Sovereign Realm expert?”

Mu Chen smiled as he focused his gaze onto the vast Sovereign Sea behind Ji Xuan. He lifted the corner of his lips and slowly said, “It’s just an incomplete Sovereign Sea. Did you really think that... only you have it?”

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, Ji Xuan abruptly shrunk his eyes.
