A figure emerged from the crowd, a smile playing on his lips.
The young man had a rather handsome appearance, but the slight upturn of his lips revealed a hint of arrogance and unconcealed pride.
"Liu Yang! It's actually Liu Yang!"
The surrounding students' faces all changed dramatically, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
Liu Yang was the number one student in West Academy's Earth Rank!
Unlike those students, Mu Yuan, Xue Dong, and Xiao Kun were overjoyed to see Liu Yang and excitedly called out,
"Brother Liu!"
Liu Yang glanced at the bedraggled Mu Yuan and his two companions, his brow furrowing slightly. His gaze, tinged with coldness, fixed on Mu Yuan.
"Let them go!"
His voice was not loud, but it carried an icy, imperious tone.
Mu Yuan, facing the most renowned youth in the West Academy's Earth Rank, didn't respond.
Of course, Mu Yuan's three companions breathed a sigh of relief.
Their eyes, fixed on Mu Yuan once more, now held a trace of smugness and a hint of malice.
Mu Yuan's group was indeed not weak, and they had defeated the three of them earlier. However, compared to the current number one in the West Academy's Earth Rank, and even the entire Northern Spiritual Academy's Earth Rank, there was still a vast difference.
With Liu Yang backing them, they naturally had no fear of Mu Yuan.
If Mu Yuan was out of his mind and dared to refuse to show respect, it would be a great disrespect to Liu Yang!
"But they injured our people from East Academy for no reason. It's not impossible to let them go, but they have to apologize publicly!"
Mu Yuan spoke softly.
Suddenly.
The surrounding students couldn't help but shiver.
Liu Yang was not someone that Mu Yuan and the other two could compare to.
Mu Yuan actually dared to refuse.
With Liu Yang's temper, this matter wouldn't end well today.
Indeed, Liu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness in his gaze.
In the Earth Rank of the Northern Spiritual Academy, no one had ever dared to defy him.
Although he had heard about some of Mu Yuan's exploits, he was, after all, a Spirit Movement Stage cultivator possessing a Spiritual Vein.
"I heard you're going to take Mu Chen's place and fight me in tomorrow's academy competition. I'm really curious, where did you get the confidence to challenge me, considering you only advanced to the Perception Stage a few days ago?"
"Could it be that you've become overconfident after defeating Mu Yuan and the others with a sneak attack, daring to challenge me, the number one in the Earth Rank?"
A mocking smirk curled at the corners of Liu Yang's lips, and his gaze towards Mu Yuan was like looking at an ant.
"Pfft!"
Mu Yuan chuckled softly.
"What are you laughing at?"
Liu Yang was taken aback.
"Do you know what you look like to me right now?"
Mu Yuan looked at Liu Yang, who was radiating arrogance, and smiled.
"Like what?"
Liu Yang asked.
The others also perked up their ears in curiosity.
"Like a frog in the well, bragging to a sea turtle from the deep ocean about how big, deep, and vast his well is, claiming it's the largest well within a hundred miles."
Liu Yang's face immediately darkened, and he icily asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Yuan didn't reply, instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at the sky.
Liu Yang stared at Mu Yuan, waiting for an explanation.
The other students around them were also confused, and they all curiously watched Mu Yuan, clearly wanting to know the meaning behind the words.
"Brother Yuan, you really know how to insult people creatively."
Mu Chen was trying to suppress a laugh.
He was more than familiar with this story; it was the story of the Frog in the Well that Brother Yuan had told him since childhood.
Seeing the gazes of the many students seeking an explanation, Mu Chen finally couldn't help but laugh and explain:
"Mu Yuan doesn't want to answer the frog's question."
Su Ling: "..."
Luo Dong: "..."
Mu Yuan: "..."
Many students: "..."
Liu Yang: "???"
The air suddenly fell silent.
Boom!
A surge of incredibly dense killing intent erupted.
Liu Yang's veins bulged, and his rage was nearly uncontrollable. He clenched his fists.
"Mu! Yuan! You called me a frog?"
In all his years, no one had ever dared to look down on him like this.
As his words fell, Liu Yang took a step forward. Spiritual energy surged on his arms, the density of it even surpassing Mu Yuan's.
Seeing Liu Yang's imposing manner, many of the other students were startled.
Was this guy about to attack?
"You want to fight me now?"
Mu Yuan turned his head. Just as the other students thought he was about to make a move, they heard him shout:
"Xiao Mu, I've already taken care of three people and need to rest. Leave this frog to you to handle."
In an instant, the entire place fell silent.
"Knowing he can't beat Liu Yang, he's making excuses to avoid a fight. How can someone be so shameless!"
However, the gazes of the many students immediately turned towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen walked to face Liu Yang, his palm slightly rotating. Dark, black spiritual energy quietly flowed at his fingertips.
The density of that spiritual energy was actually comparable to Liu Yang's.
The atmosphere between the two became tense.
Many of the surrounding students couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The two individuals before them were quite the pair. One was the top student of the Earth Rank at the Northern Spiritual Academy, while the other was no pushover either.
They were also very curious as to who would come out on top between the two.
"Stop!"
Just as the two were at odds, a deep shout suddenly came from afar.
Following the sound of rushing wind, a burly figure appeared between them.
"Teacher Mo!"
The surrounding students were startled by the newcomer and immediately spoke respectfully.
The middle-aged man, known as Teacher Mo, had a stern expression. Within his body, a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation was faintly discernible, causing considerable pressure on the surrounding students.
Even the furious Liu Yang had to restrain himself for a moment.
After all, Teacher Mo before him was a genuine Spirit Soul Stage expert.
When a Spirit Movement Stage expert condenses the spiritual energy in their body into a wheel, they enter the Spirit Wheel Stage.
The degree of spiritual energy condensation of a Spirit Wheel Stage expert is also far beyond that of the Spirit Movement Stage.
And after the Spirit Wheel Stage comes the Spirit Soul Stage.
This was a watershed realm.
A Spirit Soul Stage expert, not to mention within the Northern Spiritual Academy, could be considered a true powerhouse even within the vast Northern Spiritual Realm. Even Liu Yang wouldn't dare to offend them.
Because experts at this level far surpassed those in the Spirit Wheel Stage in terms of combat strength. Moreover, once they advanced to the Spirit Soul Stage, they gained a unique ability: the ability to refine a Beast Soul.
A Beast Soul was the essence of all the beasts in the world. Once refined, one could gain some of the spirit beast's power, and when combined with their own spiritual energy, their combat strength would naturally skyrocket.
The Great Thousand World compiled all the known spirit beasts into the Myriad Beasts Record, which was divided into two lists: Heaven and Earth.
"If you want to spar in the academy, you can go to the arena. Do you all treat the academy rules as a joke?"
Teacher Mo surveyed the surroundings and said in a low voice.
Liu Yang understood the situation and took a deep breath, finally suppressing his anger.
"Teacher Mo, you jest."
He knew he couldn't do anything today. He immediately turned to Mu Yuan and said coldly:
"Tomorrow's academy test, let's see what excuses you'll come up with. Also, stay away from Senior Sister Hong Ling from now on!"
