Chapter 616 Battle of the Best 4

Chapter 616 – Battle of the Best 4

Creeeeaaak

Deep in the super vortex, the Spiritual Energy liquid was rapidly spinning, the dreadful power of it could even tear a Third Grade Spirit Disaster to shreds.

At the same time, there was light being emitted from the depths of the vortex, a silhouette was seen in a seated posture as black lightning was violently flickering on the surface of his body, there were also vague thunderous sounds spreading out.

The silhouette that was seated in the super vortex was Mu Chen.

Right now, his situation was clearly not optimistic because he had pushed his Lightning God’s Physique to the limits. But even so, he was in a miserable state due to the dreadful pressure coming from all directions.

Fresh blood could clearly be seen oozing out from the pores of his skin, it was a sign that his physique could not withstand that pressure. Even with his Septa Rune Lightning Physique, he was having trouble with the energy from the super vortex.

Poof.

A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth as fresh blood flowed from the corner of his lips, adding a hint of savage touch to his handsome face. He extended his hand as he slowly wiped the blood off the corner of his lips.

His black pupils were filled with a chill, there wasn’t the slightest bit of fear contained within them.

“Indeed, it’s a little hard to endure.” Mu Chen’s voice was a little hoarse due to the terrifying pressure, as if his throat was injured.

He slightly raised his head, every single scene that was captured by his eyes was the liquid form of Spiritual Energy rotating at high speed with terrifying pressure being emitted from it.

He was able to feel the intense piercing pain coming from every single direction of his body, and the sensation was gradually getting stronger, showing that even with the strength of his physique, even he might not be able to last for long.

The instant he fell into unconsciousness, he would be transported out of the Mirror of Judgement and thus, losing his chance to participate in the Battle of the Best 4, it was a situation that he would absolutely not let happen.

“Since my strength is not strong enough…”

The youth raised his head. Due to his age, he still looked a little green; however, there was firmness between his brows that was rarely seen on a youth’s face.

He pursed his lips as he clenched his fist, his gaze also sharpened with a frosted look.

“Then, let’s get stronger!”

The main reason why he had Luo Li leave first was due to him not wanting her to enter such dangerous grounds, whereas he remained. But he still had other thoughts in his heart.

Although the Spiritual Energy pressure of this Sea of Judgement was terrifying, it also seemed to be beneficial to his cultivation under that pressure. But, naturally, the requirement was him being able to endure the pain brought from that pressure.

In this vortex, opportunity and danger existed at the same time.

Using the threat of near-death, a person could reach his peak, and at that time, it was naturally the best chance for a breakthrough.

Seeking wealth within danger, in this world, there wasn’t any strength that came without any price, this was what Mu Chen had always believed. In the Spiritual Road, the Northern Spiritual Realm and the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the reason why he was able to stand out and succeed was not because of that so-called talent of his, but sharpening himself through the dangers.

“Luo Li, I will definitely not be absent this time.”

Mu Chen lightly smiled and, shortly after, he slowly closed his eyes as both of his hands formed seals, and at the same time, the black lightning that covered his entire body rapidly disappeared.

As the lightning disappeared, the torrent of violent liquid Spiritual Energy rushed over along with dreadful impact.

The horrifying pain came, and Mu Chen could feel his body being torn apart by the violent impacts. No matter how intense the pain was, he still retained a strand of consciousness. Black lightning constantly travelled through his muscles and bones as the black lightning, which was pressured by the dreadful pressure to the point that there was nowhere else to go, was forced back into his muscles and bones.

As the intense pain continued, Mu Chen’s flesh, bones and meridians were getting stronger bit by bit under the refinement of black lightning.

The youth sat within the darkness as his body was gradually being covered by the fresh blood that was oozing from his skin, forming into thick layers of dried blood, completely covering him.

All sorts of fluctuations were cut off, as if the vitality of the figure within the dried blood was erased.

When Mu Chen was engulfed by darkness and intense pain, the atmosphere outside the Mirror of Judgement rose to the limits by the mountain-trembling and ocean-rolling cheers.

Countless people were looking at the four figures on the Golden Battle Stage with excited gazes. No matter how many dark horses appeared along the way, there were only four that were able to stand there in the end.

They represented the pinnacle of all Spiritual Academies.

Even if someone had used a method that they did not acknowledge, they inwardly sighed in the end from their strength and talent. Comparing their achievements to many other geniuses, they were dull.

“Mu Chen actually lost.” Outside the Golden Battle Stage, Wu Ling couldn’t help sighing as he looked at the four silhouettes on the Battle Stage with a slightly pale complexion.

Behind him, Wu Yingying was biting her rosy lips as she had no mood. She was blankly looking at the Mirror of Judgement as if she was expecting something.

“Stop looking…” Wu Ling bitterly laughed as he continued, “Mu Chen is already very formidable, he was only schemed by Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe. Those two fellows are extremely powerful, and it doesn’t matter if they did it intentionally or not, it isn’t injustice for Mu Chen to fall for it.”

“Furthermore, Luo Li is still there, and she is not simple. Even I might not be her opponent if we fight seriously. With her present, it will not be easy for Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe to obtain the Championship.”

Wu Yingying listlessly nodded her head with a dejected look, causing Wu Ling to roll his eyes upon looking at her. Even when he lost to Xue Tianhe earlier, she didn’t look so hurt.

“Mu Chen…”

Tang Qian’er’s face turned pale at the region occupied by the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy. She found it a little hard to believe that this youth, who, despite being a little younger than her, was so dependable and never admits defeat, would halt his steps here.

Although that youth always had a gentle expression and smile on his face, she knew that it wasn’t because he could turn a blind eye to all those setbacks, it was that he could stand up every single time he fell and straighten his body upright.

Perhaps he could still smile from this failure, but the thought of that smile made her feel heartache.

“Mu Chen, come out, you definitely must.”

The young girl put her hands together as she prayed in her heart.

Up in midair, the Five Great Deans were looking at the four silhouettes that came out of the Mirror of Judgement.

Dean Tai Cang sighed in his heart as he originally thought that Mu Chen could last till the end and never imagined for such an unforeseen event to occur. Fortunately, at least their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy didn’t lose completely, since Luo Li was still present.

“Haha, Four Deans, now that we have four people, I feel that we should begin the Battle of the Best 4, right?” Dean Tiansheng smiled as he looked at the four remaining Deans.

Dean Tai Cang knitted his brows as he said, “Dean Tiansheng, aren’t you a little too quick to start the next match?”

“Haha, what is there to be quick about? Since the results are already evident, are you perhaps waiting for someone to appear?” Dean Tiansheng laughed. “Furthermore, according to the rules, as long as the true Champion has yet to appear, anyone that can escape from the Mirror of Judgement can still participate as usual.”

Dean Tai Cang understood, although he knew that the chances were small, he was still a little unwilling in his heart. After all, the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament this time was extremely crucial to their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. If the Champion title falls to the Saint Spiritual Academy again, they would have the qualifications to ascend as the Academy Head, and once Dean Tiansheng held the position of Academy Head, their academy may be kicked out of the Five Great Academies with the excuse of poor results all these years.

“Then, let’s begin.”

Dean Tai Cang had no choice but to nod his head as he had no reason to object at this point in time.

“Dean Tai Cang is indeed understanding.” Dean Tiansheng smiled as he looked at the four silhouettes on the Battle Stage as his thunderous and robust voice rang out between the heavens and earth.

“Firstly, I would like to congratulate the four of you who were able to ascend to the Best 4, obtaining the qualifications to fight for the Championship of this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.”

“Next up will be the Battle of the Champion. There aren’t any rules, it doesn’t matter how you fight, the last one standing on the Battle Stage will become the Champion.”

Rustle!

Innumerable people broke out into a commotion as their hearts shook. It turned out that there wasn’t any lottery to determine their opponents, but having the four of them fight amongst themselves. Were they going for a battle royale?

The gazes of those four on stage slightly flickered.

“My announcement is complete. The main show of the tournament will now begin, the Battle of the Champion!”

As Dean Tiansheng finished his speech, everyone could feel the atmosphere on the Battle Stage instantly tensing up.

Everyone widened their eyes as all of them wished to know how the battle royale of those four would end.

Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe exchanged a glance in midair under the attention of everyone as they lightly smiled, both of their figures flashed and landed on a vast Battle Stage each.

Xue Tianhe shot his gaze towards the young girl in midair, who was as cold as snow and her silvery hair fluttered in the wind as a cold sneer was revealed in his eyes.

“Blood God Academy – Xue Tianhe seeks the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s guidance.”

On another stage, Ji Xuan lightly smiled as well as he cupped his hands and his voice rang out, “Saint Spiritual Academy – Ji Xuan seeks the guidance of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy!”
