"Hmph!"
The Heavenly Class student named Wangchao sneered, stomping his foot. Powerful spiritual energy surged violently from his body.
He threw a punch, accompanied by a muffled sound, and slammed it towards Mu Chen.
"So strong!"
The hearts of many students were shaken.
Wangchao had actually mastered his Ice Profound Force to a level almost at the peak of the Spirit Movement Stage.
Especially the spiritual energy, which subtly flowed with a terrifying icy intent.
Most late-stage Spirit Movement Stage practitioners wouldn't dare take this punch head-on.
However, Mu Chen, facing the charging Wangchao, showed no sign of dodging.
Dark, shadowy spiritual energy swirled around his fist, and he directly met Wangchao's fist with a head-on collision.
He wanted to test just how strong Wangchao, this late-stage Spirit Movement Stage fighter, truly was.
Boom!
A muffled sound erupted as the two fists slammed together. The resulting shockwave from the collision of spiritual energies instantly created swirling gusts of wind.
Wangchao's pupils constricted slightly. He could feel a subtle stinging sensation on his fist.
Although Mu Chen's cultivation was lower than his, the quality of his spiritual energy was actually superior to Wangchao's Ice Profound Force.
"Frozen Thousand Miles!"
Wangchao shouted, his body's spiritual energy surging. In an instant, a terrifying ice storm erupted from his body as the center.
The surrounding students felt a bone-chilling cold at the same moment, as if the cold had seeped into their very marrow.
The students saw Mu Chen and were instantly engulfed by the icy aura.
Previously, even a late-stage Spirit Movement Stage student had been easily frozen and defeated by Wangchao.
However, a dark black light bloomed from Mu Chen's body, completely unaffected. He only trembled slightly before shaking off the icy aura.
The dark black light flowed in Mu Chen's palm, and the Black Seal that was vaguely present in his palm was also gradually appearing.
At this moment, it was as if he held a black sun in his hand, and the chilling fluctuations were startling.
Mu Chen's eyes flashed with cold light, and the spiritual energy within his energy sea poured out without reservation.
The Black Seal in his palm also violently shook, appearing in front of his fist.
Boom!
The Black Seal blasted out. Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Wangchao's body was sent flying, spewing a mouthful of blood before crashing heavily to the ground.
Mu Yuan had said he wanted him to leave horizontally, so naturally, he couldn't let him walk out standing up.
The space became silent, and everyone's eyes fixed on the young man, who looked like a black war god.
The faces of the few students who had previously shouted that they wanted to challenge Mu Chen were extremely ugly.
"Mu Yuan!"
They glared at the shameless guy, who had tricked them into stepping up and even offered a reward, only to have himself let Mu Chen fight.
Mu Yuan watched it all with a smile, without a trace of guilt.
As expected, those who had shouted about challenging Mu Yuan were all defeated by Mu Chen.
However, just as Mu Chen defeated his second opponent, a faint voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Mu Chen, come over here for a moment."
Mu Chen was slightly startled, and turned his head to see Teacher Mo standing not far away, he didn't know when he had arrived.
Mu Chen paused, his gaze meeting Mu Yuan's. After a moment of hesitation, he followed, under the watchful eyes of the other students.
This also allowed the other few students who hadn't challenged yet to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Forget it, I'll let you off the hook today."
Mu Yuan, fiddling with the jade bottle in his hand, pouted.
He figured these guys would behave themselves a bit more from now on.
As he was leaving, seeing Tang Qian'er's eager gaze, Mu Yuan gave a wry smile:
"You put in a lot of effort today too. This Spirit Gathering Pill is for you."
With that, he flicked his finger.
"At least you have a conscience."
Tang Qian'er rolled her eyes at Mu Yuan, but she didn't stand on ceremony, accepting the Spirit Gathering Pill.
...
The uproar in the training ground quickly spread throughout the Heavenly Class.
Mu Yuan and Mu Chen's reputations soared once more. Even the older students, who had previously relied on their seniority, dared not underestimate the new recruits who had just been promoted.
Especially Mu Yuan. Not only was his strength formidable, but he was also incredibly shameless.
If you weren't careful, you'd fall for his tricks, leaving you completely defenseless.
So, in the following days, no one bothered them anymore, which allowed Mu Yuan and Mu Chen to finally have some peace.
After giving the other portion of the training resources he'd won to Mu Chen, Mu Yuan dedicated himself entirely to cultivation.
During the day, he used the Level 3 Spirit Gathering Array in the training ground to prepare for the formation of his fourth Dragon-Elephant Phantom.
The rest of the time was spent in the training ground, practicing the Sword Drawing Technique.
Occasionally, he would spar with Mu Chen, using the real-world practice to calm his mind and reflect.
Sometimes, slow was better than fast.
Mu Yuan tried to practice the entire set of Sword Drawing Technique movements separately.
From the Carp Mouth Cut, the slash, the Blood Shake… all the way to the final sheathing of the sword.
He practiced it again and again.
Finally, Mu Yuan combined speed and slowness, the variations in the swordplay's pace forming a rhythmic cadence, much like the natural way of the earth.
Mu Yuan became increasingly adept at the Sword Drawing Technique, and the number of times he could draw his sword in a single breath also increased.
He could feel himself improving, feeling himself getting closer to that realm.
Time passed quietly like this, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half a month had gone by.
During this half month, the spiritual energy stored in Mu Yuan's fourth empty orifice became more and more abundant, and he was not far from condensing his fourth Dragon-Elephant Phantom.
Of course, the Spirit Gathering Pill also gave Mu Yuan a great deal of help.
"Hoo."
On this day, Mu Chen drew his sword once again. Suddenly, the rhythm and cadence he had been pursuing for a long time merged into his heart.
When he drew his sword, he naturally reached the state of unity of body, mind, and sword. He felt with extreme clarity that the sword in his hand was cutting through the wind's resistance!
"I, I did it?"
Mu Yuan stood there, stunned, and couldn't help but try again.
In an instant, body, heart, and sword merged into one. He moved forward with the sword's shadow, leaving behind afterimages in the training grounds, each one a stunning display of swordsmanship.
"Hey."
A sweet voice came from the side. Mu Yuan turned his head to see Tang Qian'er and Mu Chen walking over together, their beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
"What's up?"
Mu Yuan asked with a smile.
"We're going to the Northern Spirit Plains to cultivate tomorrow."
"You weren't mocking us for being too weak and said you were going to act alone. How about we compare our progress in the Northern Spirit Plains?"
Tang Qian'er clenched her small fists, brimming with confidence.
After taking the Spirit Gathering Pill, her cultivation had advanced significantly in the past half month, almost reaching the late Spirit Movement Stage.
And then there was Mu Chen, whose strength was not weaker than the late Spirit Movement Stage.
"Are we leaving tomorrow?"
Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile. He had been immersed in his cultivation during this time and had almost forgotten the time.
The Northern Spirit Plains had spiritual herbs. If they could find some, the spiritual energy needed to conjure the fourth Dragon-Elephant Phantom would also be resolved, solving his immediate problem.
"Also, there's Hong Ling and Liu Mubai from the Western Courtyard. Didn't she make a big boast back then?"
"It doesn't matter if you lose to me and Mu Chen, but don't lose to them."
Tang Qian'er said seriously.
Mu Yuan's eyes flashed with light.
