Mu Chen and Tang Qian'er glanced around and saw that Tan Qingshan and Mo Ling had teamed up, which surprised him slightly.
Mo Ling was at the late Spirit Moving Stage. There were plenty of people more suitable to team up with than Tan Qingshan.
"Mu Chen, I saw that Qingshan is here in the Northern Spirit Plains for the first time, so I'm looking out for him."
Mo Ling walked over with Tan Qingshan and smiled at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen understood that Mo Ling clearly wanted to get on good terms with them.
"Senior Mo Ling is very thoughtful."
Mu Chen didn't dislike Mo Ling.
Mo Ling didn't see Mu Yuan. He asked in confusion, "You're teaming up with Qian'er, so where's Mu Yuan?"
In his opinion, Mu Chen and Mu Yuan teaming up would be the best combination.
"Ge Yuan has gone to cultivate on his own." Mu Chen gave a wry smile.
"Heh heh, Mu Yuan really is a fearless calf."
Suddenly, a strange, sarcastic voice came from not far away.
Soon, several familiar figures appeared in front of Mu Chen.
The one in the lead was Liu Yang, the same person Mu Chen had defeated in the academy trials.
Liu Yang stared at Mu Chen with a dark expression. The battle in the trials had trampled on his immense pride.
Beside Liu Yang stood a tall and sturdy youth, who was smiling as he watched Mu Chen, a hint of mockery playing on his lips.
"Chen Tong, what are you doing?"
Mo Ling frowned when he saw the two youths, and said in a low voice.
Chen Tong, although not as strong as Mo Ling, was still ranked third on the Northern Spirit Academy's overall rankings, with the strength of a late-stage Spirit Moving Stage cultivator.
Mu Chen, on the other hand, remained calm, and curled his lip:
"It's not your place to interfere with what Brother Yuan does."
"Heh, the brothers of the Mu family are indeed arrogant, one more than the other, aren't they?"
Chen Tong casually spoke, his tone flippant.
"Being arrogant is fine if you have the strength to back it up. Otherwise, it's just being delusional."
Mu Chen glanced at Liu Yang and smiled.
Hearing this, Liu Yang's face turned ashen. Mu Chen was clearly being sarcastic, calling him delusional. He immediately retorted with a chilling tone:
"Just pray that you and Mu Yuan don't meet us in the Northern Spirit Plains, or he'll regret it!"
"Let's go."
Mu Chen shook his head, not bothering to deal with those two any further.
As he passed by Chen Tong, he suddenly paused, looking at Liu Mubai, who looked especially handsome nearby.
"If you're jealous of my brother, then do it yourself. Those people aren't even enough to fill my brother's teeth."
Mu Chen smiled and led Tang Qian'er and the others out of the camp, heading quickly towards the Northern Spirit Plains.
Liu Mubai narrowed his eyes, watching Mu Chen depart, a faint cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"That bastard!" Liu Yang said through gritted teeth.
Chen Tong grinned, his eyes slightly gloomy.
In the forest, which was covered in green, Tang Qian'er's pretty face was filled with anger.
"Those guys from the Western Courtyard are really annoying."
These guys have given Mu Yuan and the others trouble time and time again.
"No wonder Brother Yuan always sighs."
Mu Chen gave a wry smile.
"Sigh about what?"
Tang Qian'er and the others looked at him curiously.
"Being too outstanding makes you a target, but you're helpless. You're so outstanding that you can't even be low-key!"
Mu Chen repeated the words that Mu Yuan often said.
"..."
Tang Qian'er and the others couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
This Mu Yuan is so full of himself.
Considering his usual behavior, that kind of statement was something only he could say.
"I just didn't expect Liu Mubai to harbor so much resentment towards Brother Yuan. They didn't have much to do with each other before, was it because of Hong Ling?"
Mu Chen glanced at the distance behind them.
"Liu Mubai?"
Tang Qian'er's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she asked:
"Is he going to deal with Mu Yuan?"
"Otherwise, do you think Chen Tong, who's ranked third on the overall rankings, would just help Liu Yang out of the goodness of his heart?"
"There's definitely some pushing and prodding from Liu Mubai behind this."
Mu Chen had seen plenty of people like Liu Mubai on the path of spiritual cultivation.
"You're probably right. I heard that that annoying guy has always liked Hong Ling."
"Now Hong Ling is with him, but I know that guy is actually quite petty. This might really have something to do with Hong Ling."
Tang Qian'er's pretty face turned slightly cold, then she was a little worried:
"But since Liu Mubai entered Northern Spirit Academy, he seems to have never lost, always holding the top spot on the overall rankings."
"That's right, Mu Chen. You should have Mu Yuan be more cautious of Liu Mubai. His strength is definitely not as simple as it seems. I was defeated by him in just a few moves."
Mo Ling, who was standing to the side, also spoke seriously.
"Ah! Senior Mo Ling, you're already at the peak of the late Spirit Moving Stage. If what you say is true, then that guy has already stepped into the Spirit Rotation Stage!"
Tan Qingshan was startled, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's right. He's very likely a true Spirit Rotation Stage expert."
Mo Ling nodded slowly.
Tang Qian'er's pretty face also became somewhat grave.
If that were the case, then it would indeed be a bit troublesome.
Even if Mu Yuan could challenge across levels, the gap between the Spirit Rotation Stage and the Spirit Moving Stage was simply too vast.
No one in the history of Northern Spirit Academy had ever defeated a Spirit Rotation Stage cultivator while at the Spirit Moving Stage.
"Although the Spirit Rotation Stage is powerful, it's not an insurmountable mountain for Brother Yuan. Do you really think Brother Yuan uses his full strength every time he fights?"
Mu Chen wasn't exaggerating.
Brother Yuan's strength had always been a mystery.
No one truly knew where his limits lay.
Especially in the past half month, Mu Chen had been sparring with Brother Yuan almost every day, and he felt that Brother Yuan was becoming even more unfathomable.
"Miracles are created. Perhaps this miracle of defeating a Spirit Rotation Stage cultivator with the Spirit Moving Stage is waiting for Brother Yuan to create!"
Mu Chen thought to himself.
"You don't need to worry about Brother Yuan. He's always very cautious."
"The training in the Northern Spirit Plains has already begun. From now on, we're all competing with Brother Yuan. Let's not let our results be worse than his alone."
Mu Chen looked at Tang Qian'er and the others with a smile.
"Then let's strike first!"
Mo Ling and Tan Qingshan exchanged a glance, then both sprinted forward. They were currently on the outermost edge of the Northern Spirit Plains, where spirit beasts were quite scarce. They needed to go deeper to find them.
"Let's go too."
Mu Chen waved his hand at Tang Qian'er, and his pace quickened.
The two of them increased their speed, and after about ten minutes, they had gradually moved deeper into the outer area of the Northern Spirit Plains. From the surroundings, various beast roars could be heard in the distance.
Deep within the dense forest on the outskirts of the Northern Spirit Plains.
Towering trees, reaching dozens of meters high, soared towards the sky. The ground was covered in fallen leaves and branches, and one could vaguely see incredibly powerful spirit beasts roaming within.
Mu Yuan was resting on a large tree, regulating his breath.
His clean white clothes were already stained with quite a bit of blood.
Suddenly.
A gust of wind, reeking of blood, rushed towards him.
