As the sun shot towards Northspirit City like a rocket, Northspirit Academy gradually became lively.
The Academy Trials, held every few months, were finally about to begin.
The Academy Trials were when the competition between the East and West Academies was most intense.
Many rankings within the academy were also determined by these trials.
Many students were full of spirit. Such scenes would appear every time. After being defeated, many of these energetic figures would become dispirited.
The Academy Trials were a competitive trial and a baptism of the mind.
In the West Academy of Northspirit Academy, there was a venue similar to an arena, about the size of a football field.
Rings of fighting platforms dotted the arena, each surrounded by tiered seating.
Usually empty, the stands were now packed with spectators, almost completely filled.
The excited chatter of young men and women filled the air, brimming with youthful energy.
Of course.
Even with the large crowd, it was clear the audience was divided into two groups of students.
The East Academy and the West Academy.
As rivals, they occasionally exchanged taunts, adding to the lively atmosphere.
More figures continued to arrive and take their seats from all directions.
A student in the West Academy glanced towards the East Academy and voiced his thoughts:
"Last Academy Trials, we in the West Academy took six of the top ten spots in the Earth Rank, even sweeping the top three. I wonder if we can do even better this time."
Hearing this, a student behind him couldn't help but snort coldly:
"You overestimate those guys from the East Academy."
"Our Brother Liu has already won the Earth Rank first place several times. With his Spiritual Vein, Brother Liu's strength isn't weak even in the Heaven Rank. Nobody in the Earth Rank can shake his position."
Speaking of the Heaven Rank, this student suddenly narrowed his eyes, and upon seeing a group of people, he was surprised:
"That's..."
The other students in the West Academy also looked over, and their expressions were momentarily stunned.
Then, the entire West Academy's seating area fell silent for a moment.
That group of people leaned against the railing, lazily watching the arena. They occasionally smiled mockingly, clearly not taking the matches seriously.
"Senior Sister Hong Ling."
Among the group, there was a girl in a fiery red dress. She was heroic and graceful, and her appearance was made even more alluring by the dress, adding to her charm. This was none other than Hong Ling of the West Academy.
"Who's the person beside her?"
Someone noticed that there was another figure beside Hong Ling. He had a face somewhat similar to Liu Yang's, and a tall and upright figure with an extraordinary temperament.
"Big Brother!"
At this moment, Liu Yang, from the central seating area of the West Academy, called out excitedly.
The other students suddenly understood.
"It's… it's Liu Mubai! Brother Liu Yang's older brother! I didn't expect even he would come…"
If they still had the courage to fight against Liu Yang, they wouldn't even dare to think about fighting Liu Mubai.
Liu Mubai was the true number one student of Northspirit Academy.
Ever since he entered Northspirit Academy, no one had been able to shake his position, not even a little bit.
Liu Mubai nodded at Liu Yang, then placed his hands on the railing.
He didn't say much, but the momentum on the West Academy's side immediately surged.
Clearly, Liu Mubai had deliberately come to support the West Academy.
And with his status in Northspirit Academy, although the East Academy also had Heaven Rank seniors, no one dared to compete with him.
Many students recalled a certain pitiful fellow who had been ruthlessly rejected, and couldn't help but shake their heads. Truly, he lacked self-awareness.
Keep your distance?
Then what was Liu Mubai?
If that fellow knew about this, he didn't know how he would feel.
He didn't know if that fellow had come yet?
Many students from the West Academy were searching for Mu Yuan, including Liu Yang, who was filled with fury towards him.
Mu Yuan had already heard about this matter from Mu Chen last night.
Feeling a bit down, he'd inexplicably become the tragic male lead in this cheesy story.
Even though he'd never considered pursuing Hong Ling, he still felt a little annoyed. It had nothing to do with love, just pure annoyance.
Of course, he wouldn't let it bother him too much. He was more surprised by Tang Qian'er's sudden appearance.
Tang Qian'er was dressed in a green gown today.
As the undisputed beauty of the East Academy, her appearance immediately drew the attention of many, their gazes burning with interest.
"Why are you here?"
Shouldn't the Heaven Rank students be in training right now?
"I heard you were rejected by Hong Ling yesterday."
Tang Qian'er propped her chin in her hands, gossiping.
"You're here to laugh at me."
Mu Yuan said, annoyed.
"Seeing you can still argue with me, I feel relieved."
"It's just that Hong Ling could've chosen anyone, but she had to pick that Liu Mubai guy."
"Everyone in Northspirit Academy knows Liu Yang and you two have always been at odds. Do you want me to help you beat up Hong Ling?"
Tang Qian'er raised her small, pink fist.
"Thanks, but if you fought Hong Ling, that would just add another chapter to my legend at Northspirit Academy tomorrow."
Mu Yuan rolled his eyes.
This little girl seemed to have a bit of a violent streak.
"I'm too lazy to even lift a hand. But Liu Yang, do you two have a chance?"
Tang Qian'er pursed her lips, a hint of worry flashing in her bright eyes.
Jokes aside, she also understood the importance of today's matter, or else she wouldn't have abandoned her cultivation lessons to come here.
"He shouldn't be much of a problem."
Mu Chen spoke lightly from the side.
"Hmph, all talk. I don't want to have to carry you two back here after you're both beaten to a pulp, you know?"
"Don't worry." Tang Qian'er said with a playful tone.
Mu Yuan smiled. Just as he was about to speak, his expression shifted. He looked up at the opposite side.
The gazes of the other academy students were directed at him, and they seemed rather strange.
So that's it. Mu Yuan understood when he saw Hong Ling.
However, Hong Ling's eyes darted away, as if she didn't dare to look at him.
Instead, Liu Yang, who was seated in the central position of the West Academy, glared at him with intense anger.
Not only that.
When Liu Yang's gaze shifted to Tang Qian'er and Mu Chen, who were chatting and laughing beside him, the anger in his eyes intensified.
Mu Yuan, taking in all of these subtle changes, found it a little amusing.
No wonder Liu Yang would sometimes target him and Little Mu. Aside from the feud between his father and Liu Yang's father, the presence of Tang Qian'er and Hong Ling was probably also a factor.
This Liu Yang turned out to be a guy with a particular preference, a sister complex.
"Too bad, you've picked the wrong target."
Mu Yuan and Liu Yang looked at each other from a distance, and sparks seemed to fly between their gazes.
Both of them were quite famous in the two academies, and everyone knew about the grudges that had formed between the two.
So the two of them stared at each other with such hostility, causing the onlookers to grin. It seemed like a good show was about to unfold today.
