Mu Yuan still couldn't sense spiritual energy.
Mu Chen was once again expelled from the Spiritual Path.
Everyone held strong prejudices against Mu Chen, believing he'd only been lucky to qualify for the Spiritual Path and lacked the necessary talent.
"By the way, I have something else to tell you. Three days ago, when Brother Liu Yang was being tested..."
Liu Che started to laugh gloatingly, but Mu Yuan cut him off before he could finish.
"Stop showing off. It's not like you've discovered you possess a Spiritual Vein. It's just a Human-Grade Spiritual Vein; what's the big deal?"
"I'm just afraid he'll end up shooting himself in the foot."
Mu Yuan's disdainful words immediately made Liu Che's face flush red.
"A mere Human-Grade Spiritual Vein? Do you know what that means?"
That guy is hiding it well.
Tong Guan simply took Mu Yuan for a cultivation newbie who knew nothing, and immediately looked at Mu Chen with pity.
No wonder Liu Yang dared to speak so boldly; he was sure of victory. This Mu Chen was going to be in trouble.
After the Academy Trials, even the Eastern Academy's reputation would plummet.
"Yeah, Brother Yuan, that's a Human-Grade Spiritual Vein!"
Su Ling and the others' expressions changed drastically.
In the entire Northern Spirit Academy, the number of students possessing a Spiritual Vein wouldn't exceed the fingers of one hand.
"Even if we believe in Mu Chen's strength, the odds aren't high against Liu Yang, who has a Spiritual Vein."
Su Ling and the others felt that Liu Yang was simply bullying them.
And what Mu Yuan was doing, wasn't he pushing Mu Chen into a fiery pit?
"It's just a Spiritual Vein, no need to make such a fuss."
Mu Yuan still harbored disdain in his heart.
Spiritual Veins were categorized into three grades: Heaven, Earth, and Human. They provided considerable benefits for cultivation. Generally, those with a Spiritual Vein would cultivate much faster than ordinary people.
And the God Vein stood above the Heaven-Grade Spiritual Vein.
Unfortunately for them, he and Mu Chen possessed a God Vein.
"Making such a fuss?"
Liu Che was quite irritated.
That was a Human-Grade Spiritual Vein, and in Mu Yuan's eyes, it was apparently not worth mentioning.
"Brother Liu Yang is already at the initial stage of the Spiritually Agile Realm, and if he also has a Human-Grade Spiritual Vein, he would probably be able to defeat even the mid-stage Spiritually Agile Realm students from the Heaven Rank."
"Of course, the terror of the Spiritual Vein goes far beyond this."
"Since you look down on Brother Liu Yang, why don't you take Mu Chen's place in the Academy Trials?" Liu Che challenged.
"I'm in."
Mu Yuan also wanted to test the power of his God Vein, to see if it was as legendary as everyone said.
Liu Che sneered.
"Mu Yuan, if you're looking for death, don't blame anyone but yourself."
But the next second, Tong Guan's words startled him.
"Liu Che, don't fall for his tricks again, forget what Brother Liu Yang said."
"He knows Mu Chen isn't a match for Brother Liu Yang, so he's deliberately stirring things up."
Liu Che's heart skipped a beat; he had almost ruined Brother Liu Yang's plans.
Thinking of this, Liu Yang's eyes were filled with rage as he looked at Mu Yuan.
"Mu Yuan, so that's what you were after. You and your brother, working together like this, are truly impressive."
Upon hearing this, Su Ling and the others looked at Mu Yuan with admiration.
"Brother Yuan, so we misunderstood you."
"Seriously, what's with those looks?"
"I really didn't think about all that. I just wanted to experience Liu Yang's strength."
Mu Yuan was speechless.
He really admired the imaginations of these two.
What a mess.
"Unfortunately, your scheme has been seen through by Brother Tong."
Liu Che turned to look at Mu Chen and said coldly:
"Mu Chen, I won't waste any more words with you. Brother Liu Yang said that if you don't dare to accept, it doesn't matter. Just don't show up on that day, and he won't make things difficult for you."
If Mu Chen really didn't dare to show up on that day, then he would be a coward, and his reputation in the Eastern Academy would be instantly shattered.
"You Western Academy people are too bullying. Mu Chen, don't agree to him."
The sudden shout startled everyone.
Turning their heads, they saw a dozen figures quickly approaching in the distance. At the front was a tall girl, her black clothes like ink.
In terms of beauty, she was in no way inferior to Hong Ling.
At this moment, the young woman's pretty face was slightly cold as she looked at Tong Guan and the others, and the expressions of those behind her were also unfriendly.
"Senior Sister Qian'er, you can't blame us. Who told those two brothers not to know how to keep their tails between their legs?"
Liu Che didn't care.
"You!"
Tang Qian'er was enraged and wanted to step forward, but she saw Mu Yuan grab her slender wrist. Then, he said to Liu Che:
"Go back and tell Liu Yang that if he wants to fight with Xiao Mu, that's not impossible. We'll see if he has the opportunity then."
"Mu Yuan, what tricks are you up to now?"
Liu Che had already stumbled twice because of Mu Yuan. That guy was good at arguing, and could twist you around with just a few words.
"I'm serious. Liu Yang's opponent on the day of the Academy Trials will be me. If he can beat me, then he'll have the right to challenge Little Mu."
Mu Yuan said seriously.
As soon as those words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Mu Yuan, are you serious?"
Liu Che asked again.
"Of course."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Little Mu."
Mu Yuan pointed at Mu Chen.
If he remembered correctly, Liu Yang had brought a Spirit Breaking Bead with him on the day of the Academy Trials to ensure a guaranteed victory.
That was a good item, even the Mu Clan didn't find it easy to acquire.
Mu Chen glanced at Mu Yuan, then nodded, a bright smile spreading across his youthful face.
"Just as my Yuan-ge said, go back and tell Liu Yang the truth."
"Alright!"
"Mu Yuan, I just hope you won't regret it later."
Liu Che could imagine that when Liu Yang heard this, he would be furious, and then take out his anger on Mu Yuan.
This was clearly Liu Yang looking down on him, thinking he was inferior to Mu Chen.
Liu Che, Tong Guan, and the others left one after another. Hong Ling also gave Mu Yuan a deep look before turning and leaving as well.
"Brother Yuan, were you joking just now? Was that a strategy between you and Brother Mu Chen?"
Su Ling looked at the departing Tong Guan and the others, a little worried.
Liu Yang possessed a Spiritual Vein, and even Mu Chen would find him tricky to deal with.
Let alone Mu Yuan?
"You guys are so dumb. They were clearly provoking you just now, you didn't even need to respond."
"And Mu Yuan, you were too reckless."
Tang Qian'er was annoyed. Seeing Mu Yuan's nonchalant expression, she stomped her foot in anger and then glared at Mu Chen:
"Mu Chen, you too. It's one thing for your brother to mess around, but you're going along with it."
"Don't worry, Sister Qian'er. My brother is a smart person; he never does anything without reason. We'll be careful."
Mu Chen smiled.
Tang Qian'er frowned, displeased with both brothers:
"Careful my ass! Mu Yuan isn't even in the Perception Realm. How can he fight Liu Yang? He won't even be able to withstand a single move from him."
"Sister Qian'er, you seem to care a lot about my brother?"
Mu Chen looked at the slightly annoyed, beautiful face in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.
Tang Qian'er and Hong Ling were known as the two flowers of the Northern Spirit Academy, and they had countless admirers.
Yet, they were always cold and indifferent to those suitors, except for Mu Yuan, whom they regarded differently.
Brother Yuan really does have a way with women!
A captivating figure flashed through Mu Chen's mind.
"The Spiritual Road should be ending soon. I wonder which of the five great academies she'll choose?"
"I don't care about his well-being."
Tang Qian'er's pretty face flushed slightly as she rolled her eyes at Mu Chen, then glared at Mu Yuan.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm just worried that you'll get beaten half to death and embarrass our Eastern Academy."
"Have a little faith in me, alright?"
"Actually, I haven't told you, but I'm a true cultivation genius!"
"The Perception Realm, for me, it's really just a matter of minutes."
Mu Yuan shook his head, his hands clasped behind his back as he strode forward with an air of aloofness.
The next moment, the aura around him suddenly exploded outwards, causing everyone to gasp!
New week, please recommend, please collect, all sorts of requests!!!
