As the contestants' strength increased, the atmosphere in the arena grew more lively.
The most anticipated were the students ranked highly in the Earth Rank.
Only matches at this level could change the rankings.
"That's Tan Qingshan from our Eastern Courtyard! He's finally making his move!"
Su Ling suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
Someone from the top ten of the Earth Rank had finally entered the fray.
Mu Yuan and Mu Chen also looked over with interest.
A black-clothed youth suddenly stood up not far away and headed towards a stage.
Tan Qingshan was considered the strongest in the Eastern Courtyard's Earth Rank before Mu Chen arrived at the Northern Spirit Academy. Now, he could even rank among the top five among all the Earth Rank students.
Therefore, he had quite a reputation in the Northern Spirit Academy.
"I wonder who he's going to challenge?"
Many people whispered to each other, their eyes filled with curiosity.
In the entire Western Courtyard, there were only a few people who could be Tan Qingshan's match.
At the same time, everyone couldn't help but look forward to it.
The battle for a spot in the top ten of the Earth Rank was finally about to begin.
"Liu Yang."
As Tan Qingshan's chosen opponent was announced, it immediately caused a wave of uproar.
"He's actually challenging Liu Yang?"
Who didn't know that Liu Yang possessed strength comparable to the Spirit Movement Realm? Tan Qingshan was clearly still lacking compared to him.
In the Western Courtyard's seating area, Liu Yang frowned and stood up.
Up until now, no one had challenged Mu Yuan and Mu Chen, yet he, the former top student of the Earth Rank, was the first to be targeted.
Didn't that mean his influence, Liu Yang's, wasn't as great as Mu Yuan and Mu Chen's?
Thinking of this, Liu Yang's expression slowly darkened, and the depth in his eyes became even more terrifying.
"Are you trying to get someone to drain my spiritual energy?"
Stepping onto the stage, Liu Yang glanced disdainfully at Mu Yuan in the Eastern Courtyard seats, as if he had already seen through the other person's plan.
In the face of absolute strength, any schemes and tricks were futile.
Liu Yang sneered, then turned to stare at Tan Qingshan, the smile on his lips subtly sinister:
"You overestimate yourself!"
Tan Qingshan remained silent, but his expression grew much heavier.
Taking a deep breath, a sharp, tidal wave-like aura erupted from his body.
Dazzling, pale yellow spiritual energy surged from within him, finally gathering on his arms.
"Spiritual energy!"
"So he's also advanced to the Spirit Movement Realm."
A chorus of gasps went through the surrounding students.
No wonder he dared to challenge Liu Yang; it turned out he had also advanced to the Spirit Movement Realm.
At the same time, another fluctuation of Spirit Movement Realm spiritual energy came from the other platforms.
Everyone looked up.
"Mu Yuan!"
"The second-ranked student in the Earth Rank, second only to Liu Yang. I wonder who he will challenge? If nothing changes, it should be Mu Chen."
Seeing Mu Yuan step onto the stage, many students couldn't help but speculate.
After all, among the Earth Rank students, there were only four who had advanced to the Spirit Movement Realm. Besides him and Tan Qingshan, there were only Liu Yang and Mu Chen.
However, the target Mu Yuan chose to challenge surprised everyone.
"Mu Yuan, come out and fight!"
Mu Yuan's gaze fixed on the Eastern Courtyard's seating area, his eyes finally landing on Mu Yuan.
He was eager to see Mu Yuan exposed, becoming a laughingstock!
Yesterday, Mu Yuan felt his defeat was due to Mu Yuan's sneak attack, which cost him face. It was easy to imagine the pent-up anger he had been suppressing, ready to be unleashed at any moment.
Many students understood this point, and thus felt it was only natural.
They all stared intently at Mu Chen as he walked towards the stage, anticipating what would happen next.
A momentary trick in the world of cultivation was utterly meaningless.
"Hong Ling, watch closely. It will soon be proven how right your decision was. This disgrace doesn't deserve to stand beside you."
Tong Guan said to Hong Ling.
He didn't know why he disliked Mu Chen so much.
Perhaps it was because, despite being a cultivation failure, he showed no awareness of it.
He often bickered and joked with Hong Ling, something Tong Guan couldn't do.
And this stage immediately drew everyone's attention, surpassing the attention on Tan Qingshan and Liu Yang's fight.
This wasn't because of how strong they were, but because Mu Yuan was a legend.
Mu Yuan walked step by step towards the center of the arena and stopped in front of Mu Yuan. Then, he casually said:
"You already lost yesterday. Don't you think yesterday's embarrassment was enough? Do you want to try again?"
"Er…"
Everyone was stunned. At this moment, Mu Yuan could still say something so arrogant. Was this guy really crazy?
Didn't he know that he had only been opportunistic yesterday, and that Mu Yuan hadn't even shown his true strength when he lost because he was careless?
"At this point, you're still pretending?"
Mu Yuan roared, his face ashen.
"Why don't you ever believe what I say?"
Mu Yuan seemed a little frustrated, shrugging his shoulders.
"Since that's the case, I'll just have to grant your wish."
"Seriously, he's too arrogant."
The students from the Western Courtyard were speechless at Mu Yuan's calm demeanor.
Don't you know your own strength!
"Teacher Mo, this kid from your Eastern Courtyard is getting a little carried away," Teacher Xi sneered.
"This guy's asking for a beating."
Teacher Mo was also a little speechless.
"Today, I'll teach you how to behave."
Mu Yuan's voice was icy. He was channeling the bright red-yellow spiritual energy in his palm.
The red-yellow spiritual energy rose, faintly forming a massive crimson python, looking incredibly ferocious and emitting a turbulent wave that seemed to swallow everything.
"Mu Yuan is cultivating the Flame Python Technique. That's a top-grade, mortal-rank spiritual technique from Northern Spirit Academy, is he crazy?"
Seeing Mu Yuan push his spiritual energy to the limit, Tang Qian'er and the other students from the Eastern Courtyard watched Mu Yuan nervously.
The strongest aspect of the Spirit Movement Realm was the ability to cultivate spiritual techniques, transform spiritual energy into spiritual power, and then release it through attacking spiritual techniques. The attack power was incredibly strong, and Mu Yuan could be in danger.
"Crimson Python Palm!"
A cruel smile spread across Mu Yuan's face as he struck out with his palm, hurtling towards Mu Chen's body like a roaring crimson python, ready to swallow everything.
However, Mu Chen's expression remained unchanged.
As a fellow early Spirit Movement Realm cultivator, Mu Yuan was far inferior to Mu Chen.
A single divine elephant would suffice.
Immediately, Mu Chen began circulating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.
Within his body, torrents of powerful energy erupted instantly.
Faintly, within Mu Chen's spirit orifices, a Dragon-Elephant Phantom was coalescing.
As the Dragon-Elephant Phantom took shape, Mu Yuan threw a punch at Mu Yuan.
A direct clash!
Many were astonished. No one expected Mu Yuan to choose a head-on confrontation.
"Why isn't this Mu Yuan defending? Is he an idiot?"
Many shook their heads, thinking that Mu Yuan had been scared silly by Mu Yuan's imposing aura, leading him to make such a foolish move.
Just then.
The two attacks collided violently.
The power of the Divine Elephant erupted instantly, radiating a dazzling light.
Bang!
A powerful force burst forth, causing the arena to tremble slightly.
