The spiritual energy absorbed into the void aperture was nearing saturation.
Mu Yuan knew he was about to condense his third Dragon-Elephant Phantom.
The cultivation methods and spiritual techniques of the Great Thousand World refined spiritual energy into spiritual power to break through realms.
However, the core of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique was the Dragon-Elephant Phantom.
Each additional Dragon-Elephant Phantom he condensed would make his spiritual power more robust.
Once he condensed the third Dragon-Elephant Phantom, his cultivation would officially enter the mid-Spirit Movement Stage.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuan stopped dividing his attention and focused all his mind on cultivation, striving to reach the mid-Spirit Movement Stage today.
Tang Qian'er saw Mu Yuan and Mu Chen immediately enter a state of cultivation. She pursed her lips slightly, then closed her eyes to begin her own practice.
However, their cultivation was interrupted not long after by an unpleasant laugh.
"Heh heh, the two young domain lords of the Mu Domain are truly overbearing!"
Mu Chen and the others opened their eyes to see a figure approaching slowly. He was around eighteen years old, with somewhat sunken eye sockets and thin lips that seemed to exude a hint of coldness.
Beside him stood Jiang Li, who had been defeated earlier.
Jiang Li stared at them with a grim expression, a cold arc forming on his lips.
"Bring on the big guns after losing to the little ones! What a cliché."
Mu Chen suddenly understood.
Clearly, Jiang Li was behind this.
"Luo Tong?"
Tang Qian'er frowned as she looked at the person.
"Luo Tong?"
Mu Yuan raised an eyebrow; he was not unfamiliar with this name.
Because this fellow's father was also a Domain Lord of the Northern Spirit Realm.
However, Luo Tong had turned eighteen last year, but his current strength was still at the late stage of the Spirit Movement Stage.
In other words, he had lost the qualification to enter the Five Great Academies.
And this also meant that this guy was the seasoned veteran that Tang Qian'er had mentioned, the most troublesome type.
"Mu Chen, it's been a long time."
Luo Tong walked to the front of Mu Chen and grinned, but the smile wasn't exactly friendly. The two had known each other for a long time, but they didn't see eye to eye.
"Are you here to back him up?"
Mu Chen pointed at Jiang Li.
"How could I dare? You're a genius who earned the Spirit Path qualification."
Luo Tong pouted, his words feigning surprise, but they couldn't conceal his jealousy.
When he heard that Mu Chen had earned the Spirit Path qualification, his eyes had practically turned red with jealousy.
Mu Chen retracted his gaze, not bothering to pay any attention to this pitiful guy consumed by jealousy. Compared to Liu Mubai, this Luo Tong really wasn't much.
However, Mu Yuan, who had been sitting on his cushion and cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He then looked at Luo Tong and said coldly without any politeness:
"If you don't dare, then scram. Don't act all weird and passive-aggressive."
The spiritual energy stored in his third spirit aperture was almost saturated. This guy's interruption had ruined his cultivation, which made him very unhappy.
Luo Tong glanced at Mu Yuan and said coldly:
"Mu Yuan, if you just keep shrinking back on the side, then just shut your mouth and don't embarrass yourself."
In the past, Mu Territory produced a Mu Chen, but it also produced a legendary waste, Mu Yuan, who couldn't sense spiritual energy for three years.
This contrast of glory and loss gave Luo Tong some comfort, and he felt much better.
It just so happened that Mu Yuan had miraculously sensed the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth recently. He rose to prominence in a legendary manner, defeating Liu Yang with his Spirit Movement Stage, initial level cultivation, and forcefully entered the Heaven Rank.
However, he was already past eighteen years old and still hadn't reached the Spirit Rotation Stage, which cut off his chances of entering the Five Great Academies.
Thinking about Mu Yuan again, with his current legendary cultivation speed, entering the Five Great Academies shouldn't be difficult. This undoubtedly ignited the flames of jealousy in his heart.
Mu Chen was one thing, but why should Mu Yuan, that former legendary waste, be able to rise to prominence in such a legendary way?
Mu Yuan's eyebrows twitched when he heard Luo Tong's voice. Then, he gave a self-deprecating smile. Cowering to the side?
He really couldn't stand this.
"What? Don't you accept it? Do you want to fight me?"
Luo Tong sneered.
Although Mu Yuan could unleash the strength of the Spirit Movement Stage's mid-stage, Luo Tong was in the late-stage of Spirit Movement Stage. Naturally, he wasn't afraid of Mu Yuan at all.
"You're in the late-stage of the Spirit Movement Stage, and you want to fight me? But if you want to humiliate yourself, I can grant your wish."
Mu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly.
In his fight with Liu Yang, Mu Yuan had been holding back. He knew his limit wasn't just the mid-stage of the Spirit Movement Stage.
Huh?
The surrounding students erupted in an uproar when they heard Mu Yuan's words.
Then, gazes filled with a bit of shock landed on him.
No one expected Mu Yuan to take the initiative to spar with Luo Tong.
"This isn't fun."
Luo Tong thought Mu Yuan was deliberately imitating his tone just to mock him.
"I always keep my word. You don't mind losing face, but I can't afford to."
Mu Yuan continued, arrogant and confident. He stood with his hands behind his back, unparalleled in his arrogance, and didn't even consider Luo Tong to be worth his attention.
Luo Tong's face turned ashen as he listened to Mu Yuan's mockery, and he couldn't help but feel furious. He immediately bared his teeth and sneered, saying,
"Since you have this request, then as your senior, I will naturally agree."
As the last word fell, the cold light in Luo Tong's eyes was no longer concealed. Spirit energy slowly wrapped around his body, and a powerful fluctuation emanated.
The surrounding students, seeing this, quickly moved back a bit, fearing they would suffer collateral damage.
Some students were gloating, like Jiang Li.
"Serves him right, doesn't it?"
"Well, this is it. I don't think Mu Yuan will get out of this easily today."
Because everyone knew what Luo Tong represented.
"Luo Tong, what are you doing?!"
However, at this moment, a deep voice came from not far away.
Everyone looked over and saw a rather burly figure striding over, then standing in front of Luo Tong.
"Mo Ling, aren't you interfering a bit too much?"
Luo Tong frowned as he looked at the burly young man before him.
The person in front of him was a well-known figure in Northern Spirit Academy, with a ranking on the overall list only second to Liu Mubai of the Heaven Rank from the Western Academy. He was also at the late stage of the Spirit Movement Stage, and it was highly probable that he would break through to the Spirit Rotation Stage within half a year.
The most important point was that this person wasn't even eighteen years old yet.
In other words, once he broke through to the Spirit Rotation Stage, he would also gain the qualification to enter the Five Great Academies.
He was a key training target of the Northern Spirit Academy.
"Teacher Mo will be here soon. If you want to continue causing trouble here, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
Mo Ling frowned.
Luo Tong's expression was unsightly, but he also understood that Mo Ling wasn't afraid of him at all. He could only grit his teeth and withdraw the spiritual power from his body.
"You got lucky today."
Luo Tong shook his fist at Mu Yuan, then sullenly sat down.
Seeing Luo Tong leave, Mo Ling turned to Mu Yuan and the others, smiling as he asked:
"Are you all alright?"
"What a pity."
Mu Yuan sighed.
Mo Ling: "…"
Mu Chen could only explain with a smile:
"Well, Yuan-ge is just like that, don't mind him."
