"Heh, I happened to encounter two Spirit Rotation Stage, late-stage Spiritual Beasts whose strength had been greatly diminished due to certain reasons, so I managed to get a bargain," Liu Mubai said with a smile.
"Master Mo," Mu Chen suddenly looked at Master Mo, and said with a grin, "I forgot earlier, but I still have Spiritual Beast Essences here. Can I submit them now?"
Master Mo nodded. Only then did Mu Chen reach into his chest.
Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of many students, he produced five light spheres.
Each of the light clusters' spiritual energy fluctuations had reached the late Spirit Rotation Stage.
Mu Chen scratched his head and smiled slightly.
"Sorry about that. A few days ago, five mid-level Spiritual Beasts at the late Spirit Rotation Stage got into a fight, and they all ended up injured. So, I went up and took them all out."
"Good job, Mu Chen!"
Tang Qian'er's beautiful eyes, which had been filled with anger, were now brimming with joy.
Liu Mubai's expression became extremely unsightly, and then he turned his focus to Mu Yuan, saying coldly:
"Now, it's just you."
His voice was filled with coldness and a hint of provocation.
Mu Yuan rubbed his chin, a little helpless.
"You lost face because of Mu Chen, and you want to make up for it with me, right?"
"Right, and because of Hong Ling."
At this moment, many gazes were also directed towards him.
After all, Mu Yuan was already quite famous in the Northern Spiritual Academy, and this time he was cultivating alone.
It takes a great deal of confidence and strength to make such a decision.
Therefore, many people were extremely curious about Mu Yuan's results.
Tang Qian'er was also paying close attention.
After all, she had a bet with Mu Yuan.
Under the gazes of many, Mu Yuan walked up to the recording personnel, and then took out small balls of light from his chest.
The Spiritual Beast Essences within those light balls flickered with a dazzling luster.
"Ten mid-level, low-grade Spiritual Beast Essences."
The recording personnel glanced at them, surprise flashing in his eyes.
Such a result wasn't particularly outstanding.
After all, other students, teamed up, could generally hunt one down in a day.
But don't forget, Mu Yuan was training alone.
That means he single-handedly hunted a Spiritual Beast whose strength was comparable to the mid-Spirit Movement Stage.
"You've done quite well to achieve this on your own."
The recorder praised him.
"I thought you were capable of more."
Liu Mubai sneered.
He managed to salvage some face, at least.
But just as he finished speaking, Mu Yuan opened his palm again, and even brighter light clusters appeared.
The number of them had reached a hundred.
"O… One hundred low-level, late-stage Spiritual Beast Essences!"
Exclamations of astonishment echoed throughout the entire arena.
Eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what they were seeing, all staring at Mu Yuan with disbelief.
Even if he had the ability to hunt down Spiritual Beasts with late-stage Spirit Movement Stage strength on his own, this number was just too terrifying.
Did he stumble into a Spiritual Beast nest?
Even Master Mo was slightly moved this time.
No wonder this kid had been acting like a completely different person these past few days, radiating killing intent.
He had actually hunted down over a hundred Spiritual Beasts!
This kid is too audacious.
Liu Mubai's expression stiffened.
Because, in a way, if he didn't have those four Intermediate Spiritual Beast Essences to hold his own, he would have been outdone by Mu Yuan.
"Hmph! What's the use of quantity? They're just low-grade, late-stage Spiritual Beasts. My big brother just doesn't deign to hunt them, otherwise, not to mention a hundred low-grade, late-stage Spiritual Beasts, even two hundred would be more than enough!"
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out. Everyone looked and saw Liu Yang walking out, his voice filled with discontent.
"That's true."
Mu Yuan's lips curled slightly, and his hand reached into his embrace again.
Everyone was also staring at him intently. Could it be that he could hunt Intermediate Spiritual Beasts on his own?
Could that even be possible?
Even though Liu Mubai's excuses sounded high and mighty, the majority of the students knew in their hearts that he had cheated. He couldn't possibly have the ability to hunt down a mid-level Spiritual Beast.
When Mu Yuan spread his palm open again, a shocking scene unfolded!
Seven light spheres, like flames, were slowly leaping within his grasp. From those spheres, astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy emanated.
Besides one that had reached the mid-Spirit Rotation Stage, the other six had surprisingly reached the late-Spirit Rotation Stage.
"Is this enough?"
Mu Yuan's calm voice made Liu Mubai's handsome face twist in disgust, as if he had just eaten a fly.
It was bad enough that he had been outmatched by Mu Chen, but he had hoped to step on Mu Yuan to regain some face.
Who would have thought he'd be stomped on so badly again?
Clearly, Liu Mubai had completely fallen this time, and he'd stumbled twice in a row.
The Mu brothers were simply the bane of the Liu brothers' existence!
And the assessment of results had become somewhat comical because of Liu Mubai, Mu Chen, and Mu Yuan. The Spiritual Beast Essences they produced were, for many students, too powerful.
Moreover, Liu Mubai and Mu Chen's appearances clearly showed everyone that they were cheating.
The record keeper also paused, looking at the scene with some helplessness, then turned to Master Mo and the other person.
"You three, stop messing around here."
Master Mo also shook his head helplessly, then his face turned stern, and he waved his hand, saying:
"Put away your things. This training is to hone your combat skills, not for you to show off. The three of you shouldn't get your priorities mixed up!"
"For this assessment, Mu Yuan takes first place, while Mu Chen's team and Liu Mubai's team are tied for second."
Upon hearing Master Mo's announcement, a wave of murmurs arose in the camp.
Judging by the situation, Master Mo and the others clearly didn't want to dwell on the matter, since the rewards for the top three were the same anyway.
However, with this outcome, it was clear that even Master Mo didn't believe that Mu Yuan, Mu Chen, and Liu Mubai had personally hunted the mid-grade Spiritual Beast Essences they presented.
Nonetheless, many of the students still made their own assessments.
Ignoring the dubious Spiritual Beast Essences, Mu Yuan's first place was well-deserved.
After all, one hundred low-grade, late-stage Spiritual Beast Essences put him far ahead of everyone else in terms of quantity.
And the Spiritual Beast Essence of the Fire Spirit Ape King that Tang Qian'er produced was genuine, even Master Mo could vouch for it.
With this, Liu Mubai was effectively pushed down to third place.
Hearing the commotion around him, Liu Mubai's eyes darkened slightly, clearly understanding what everyone was thinking.
Even though he hadn't personally hunted that Spiritual Beast Essence, he had still been outmaneuvered.
This time, he'd practically lost face completely.
Even though he ultimately lost to Mu Yuan, Tang Qian'er was still somewhat pleased to see Liu Mubai looking so crestfallen.
"Mu Yuan, how did you get a mid-grade Spiritual Beast Essence?"
"Guess?"
Mu Yuan knew that the five Mid-Grade Spiritual Beast Essences Mu Chen had were taken from Xue Tu's Mustard Seed Bracelet.
Mu Chen was just annoyed by Liu Mubai's targeting and wanted to make him uncomfortable.
As for the Mid-Grade Spiritual Beast Essences he had?
They were indeed killed by him personally.
Although his cultivation hadn't improved in the past half month, his strength had grown.
When the Draw Sword Technique triggered the Steel-Cutting Effect, he now had the possibility of killing an ordinary Spirit Rotation Stage late-stage cultivator.
Those six Mid-Grade Spiritual Beast Essences were Mu Yuan's test subjects.
