Liu Yang was furious.
Mu Yuan was too overconfident.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
Mu Yuan and he weren't from the same world to begin with, and he didn't want to bother with him.
But Mu Yuan, again and again, didn't know what was good for him, which made him very unhappy.
Cold light flashed in Liu Yang's eyes, and he immediately made a decision in his heart: he would play with Mu Yuan slowly.
"Defeating you in one move is too boring."
"Since those students in the East Courtyard see you as their hope, I will slowly extinguish their hope, leaving them in utter despair."
A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from him, its intensity clearly surpassing that of Tan Qingshan and Mu Yuan before.
The next second, Liu Yang said in a deep voice:
"If I were to act, it would be a bit bullying."
"How about this, I'll stand here and let you attack first. If you can make me retreat a step, you win!"
"After three moves, I will strike, and I'll only use one move!"
As Liu Yang's incredibly confident and arrogant words echoed throughout the arena, the students of the East Courtyard couldn't help but become enraged.
Liu Yang was clearly trying to humiliate Mu Yuan, to trample on his dignity.
Even Teacher Mo, who was sitting in the head seat, frowned.
"Liu Yang is too arrogant, even a little conceited."
Mu Yuan had already been reborn. The fact that he could defeat Mu Yuan, who was at the initial stage of the Spirit Movement Realm, already proved his strength.
"Haha... I actually appreciate his arrogance. Since he became the first of the Earth Rank, no one has been able to shake his position. He has absolute strength, so he is so confident. If he didn't show some arrogance and bearing, that would be truly disappointing!"
Teacher Xi, however, chuckled.
On the stage, Mu Yuan touched his nose, his eyes a little strange.
"Are you sure you won't move, and let me attack first?"
"What do you think?"
Liu Yang was a little impatient.
"Don't waste my time!"
"Alright then!"
Mu Yuan nodded.
He had originally wanted to save Liu Yang some face, so he wouldn't lose too badly.
Since he was asking for it, Mu Yuan would indulge him.
Then.
Indeed, there was no more delay, Mu Yuan raised his fist without a word.
The fist was wrapped in golden spiritual power, forming an extremely strong and fierce force, and then he punched towards Liu Yang!
"Crushing Fist."
Teacher Xi and the students on the West Courtyard seats couldn't help but shake their heads.
Liu Yang had already given Mu Yuan a chance, but Mu Yuan didn't know how to cherish it. He actually wanted to use this Mortal Grade, Low Quality attack spiritual technique to probe, wasting this first chance to attack.
However.
In fact, at the very moment when Mu Yuan threw this punch, Liu Yang's whole body suddenly trembled violently, and his eyes instantly contracted to the extreme.
He actually felt threatened.
And it was an extremely sharp, extremely impactful threat.
It was hard to imagine this was the might of a Mortal Grade, Low Quality attack spiritual technique.
Liu Yang completely forgot the boasting he'd just done, instinctively raising his fist. Crimson spiritual power bloomed as he met the attack head-on.
"What's going on?"
Teacher Xi on the seats was somewhat taken aback.
Liu Yang had said he wouldn't fight back, that he'd just stand there. Yet, in the blink of an eye...
Mu Yuan and the other students on the West Courtyard seats were also a bit embarrassed and confused.
In a flash!
BOOM!!!
The booming shockwave exploded across the arena.
It was like a car speeding at high velocity plunging into the deep sea, not only was the sound terrifying, but it also sent a wave of energy surging outwards in all directions.
At the same time.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Under the gaze of the crowd, Liu Yang was forced to retreat, step by step.
With each step, he left a deep footprint on the arena.
He finally stopped, barely, when his last foot landed at the edge of the stage.
"You!"
Liu Yang's face was now ashen, as if it could drip water.
His right arm's sleeve was torn, clearly ripped by Mu Yuan's fierce punch.
His right fist was even more ghastly, with exposed bone, shocking to behold.
Liu Yang had never been so embarrassed in the Northern Spirit Academy.
The uproar around the arena intensified instantly. Whether they were from the East Courtyard or the West Courtyard, the students wore expressions of shock, clearly not expecting this.
Teacher Xi, sitting in the chief seat, immediately stood up, his eyes almost exploding, staring fixedly at Mu Yuan on the stage.
Because he found that Mu Yuan seemed to be completely unaffected.
How could that be?
Teacher Xi's mind was buzzing, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
As for Mu Yuan, he shook his head violently, refusing to believe it was true!
"I let you go first because I didn't want you to lose so badly. Why can't anyone understand my good intentions?"
Mu Yuan spoke, his expression still calm and composed, a touch of playful mischief mixed with a hint of worry, his tone both casual and intriguing.
As Mu Yuan spoke,
"Mu Yuan!!!"
"Mu Yuan!!!"
"Mu Yuan!!!"
...
The students in the East Courtyard seats were all going wild, screaming Mu Yuan's name at the top of their lungs.
Including Su Ling, Luo Shan, Tan Qingshan, and others, they were all flushed with excitement, waving their fists and roaring.
Having suffered such humiliation for the first time, Liu Yang gritted his teeth, his face flushed red as if blood was about to drip from it. He looked like an enraged lion, his expression ferocious.
"Mu Yuan, you are courting death!"
With a roar, Liu Yang stepped forward.
The crowd then saw that his body was lit with streaks of red light. These light spots were scattered all over his body, and upon closer inspection, they looked like a peculiar set of meridians, rising like a long snake.
"Spirit Veins?!"
For a moment, many of the Northern Spirit Academy students instinctively held their breath.
Whoosh!
As those fiery red light spots appeared, the fluctuations in Liu Yang's spiritual power surged again, doubling in intensity.
Even more dramatically, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn towards those light spots on Liu Yang's body, further amplifying his imposing presence.
"I almost forgot, Liu Yang hadn't activated his Spirit Veins earlier, so that wasn't his true strength." Teacher Xi's eyes lit up.
However, even so, he could still sense the golden spiritual power emanating from Mu Yuan's body, brimming with a domineering aura that was clearly not something ordinary spiritual techniques could achieve.
"I recall someone just now making a bold claim. Now, they're going back on their word. Is this the so-called magnanimity of that person?"
Teacher Mo snorted coldly from the side.
"Did I just say that? You misheard. Ask the Headmaster if you don't believe me."
Teacher Xi gave an awkward smile.
Headmaster Xiao didn't respond, clearly not wanting to get involved with the bickering pair.
"I wonder how Brother Yuan will handle this?"
Su Ling and the others watched the scene with bated breath, their faces filled with tension. Even Tang Qian'er's beautiful eyes were filled with seriousness.
After activating his Spirit Veins, Liu Yang's strength had more than doubled.
Even in the Heaven Rank, this level of strength was considered quite formidable.
