Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the training ground of the Mu Clan Estate, filled with stone pillars, Mu Chen dashed out, raising a wisp of dust. Around his palms, dark Spiritual Energy swirled, faintly emitting sharp fluctuations.
Swoosh!
He brought his two fingers together, and under the cover of the dark Spiritual Energy, they resembled a sharp black thorn, slamming heavily onto a stone pillar.
Crack!
Shards of stone shot out, and cracks quickly spread across the pillar.
Then, with a loud bang, the stone pillar exploded.
Seeing this, Mu Chen grinned, then slowly retracted his leg, calming his breath. The dark spiritual energy on his palms also quietly dissipated.
"Brother Yuan, ever since we were little, you've always looked out for me. I won't let you down. On the day of the academy trials, if you lose, I'll avenge every single bit of the humiliation you suffer!"
Over the past few days, Mu Chen poured all his energy into cultivating the Great Pagoda Art.
It was this unwavering persistence that made him famous in the ever-changing Spiritual Path, eventually leading to that earth-shattering event which left countless geniuses and freaks dumbfounded.
Naturally, Mu Chen also achieved remarkable results.
Not only did it make the Spiritual Energy in his Qi Sea rapidly become denser, but his understanding of the Great Pagoda Art also deepened.
After the Great Pagoda Art entered a stable phase, Mu Chen also searched the secret room for several attack spiritual techniques that suited him for cultivation.
After all, offensive spiritual techniques were essential for improving combat strength.
Just now, he used a Mortal Grade Mid-Rank Spiritual Skill, the Shattering Bone Finger!
Furthermore, that Liu Yang wasn't ordinary; his father was the lord of the Liu Region.
The Liu Region was one of the most powerful regions in the Northern Spiritual Realm.
Liu Yang's own talent wasn't bad either, and he had the strong backing of the Liu Region.
However, Liu Yang wanted to step all over them, as if it would be easy?
Clap, clap.
Applause came from the side. Mu Chen looked over and saw Mu Feng standing outside the training grounds with a smile. He was quite satisfied with Mu Chen's performance earlier.
"Dad."
Mu Chen dusted off his arm and walked towards Mu Feng.
"This is the Profound Yuan Pill you requested. It comes from the Endless Fire Domain and is best for healing injuries. Are you hurt?"
A jade bottle appeared in Mu Feng's hand.
"Endless Fire Domain?"
Mu Chen secretly clicked his tongue.
The Endless Fire Domain was renowned for its pill refining techniques and was a major power in the Great Thousand World.
Its ruler was Emperor Yan, who had broken through the dimensional constraints from a lower plane.
Rumor had it that he had once visited the Fire Spirit Clan, which possessed a very deep foundation even within the Great Thousand World.
And the Fire Spirit Clan, after inviting out their ancestor who had lived for tens of thousands of years, still couldn't gain the upper hand against Emperor Yan, allowing the latter to leave gracefully.
Besides his unrivaled strength, Emperor Yan of the Endless Fire Domain possessed an extraordinary mastery of alchemy. The Spiritual Pills he refined were sought after even by Supreme Beings, yet difficult to obtain.
Then, his gaze immediately swept towards the jade bottle.
The jade bottle contained some pills. The Spiritual Pills were a dark green color, round like dragon eyes.
"No, today is the day I'm supposed to fight Yuan-ge. He'll be here soon, and I'm worried he'll get hurt, so I had Dad prepare these pills in advance..."
Mu Chen shook his head, looking a little eager.
Hearing this, Mu Feng fell silent.
He recalled the scene of Mu Yuan breaking through to the Spirit Movement Stage that day.
This contest was already a foregone conclusion, but now, the outcome might be a little harder to determine.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the white-robed youth standing on a stone pillar in the distance.
Mu Feng's body shook violently as he looked at Mu Yuan in disbelief.
There were significant changes in him; his eyes had become even more spirited.
"Little Mu, consider this pill prepared for you."
"Big Mu, this freak!!!"
Mu Feng thought to himself, and then his gaze towards Mu Chen was filled with a hint of pity.
Mu Chen also saw Mu Yuan at this moment.
Dressed in white, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing up at the sky. He had the bearing of a master.
Mu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
Honestly, it did look like he had a hint of the aura of a strong person.
A fighting spirit filled Mu Chen's face.
"Brother Yuan, you're here."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
A faint voice came from Mu Yuan.
"Is that so?"
Mu Chen looked puzzled.
He'd been coming to this training ground for quite a while, but he hadn't seen him.
"Sigh!"
Mu Yuan sighed, and after a long moment, he slowly said, "It's been a long seven days."
"Seven days is very short."
Mu Chen was even more puzzled.
After all, those seven days had just flown by for him.
Mu Yuan shook his head and spoke again, "You wouldn't understand the feeling of being at the top!"
His voice was aloof, as if he was lonely, having no rivals.
Mu Chen's mouth twitched.
"Brother Yuan is at it again, saying things that make no sense."
Whenever this happened, he knew Brother Yuan was addicted to acting cool.
Unfortunately, the coolness didn't last three seconds before Mu Feng shouted, "You brat, speak human!"
As soon as those words left his mouth, the strange atmosphere in the arena was completely shattered.
"Dad, you always ruin the mood!"
Mu Yuan pouted.
That little bit of dialogue, he'd read it in a novel from his previous life, a short exchange between two top-tier experts before a showdown.
He hadn't expected that little Mu Chen would actually play along.
"You brat, as if I don't know what you're like. Don't try to act all deep in front of your old man. Get down here already."
A dark line appeared on Mu Feng's forehead.
This brat always liked to act cool for no reason.
Mu Yuan's old face flushed red. He leaped from the stone stool and floated in front of Mu Chen.
"Little Chen, let's begin!"
Mu Yuan's tone suddenly changed, becoming serious.
In these seven days, he had also made great progress, having already condensed a second Dragon-Elephant.
It was only after he condensed the second Dragon-Elephant that he realized that the Spiritual Energy required to condense each subsequent Dragon-Elephant in the Void Aperture would double.
The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Art truly consumed resources. He really didn't know when he would be able to condense ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine Dragon-Elephants.
"Brother Yuan, you need to be careful."
As Mu Chen's voice faded, in the next instant, he took a step forward. A subtle muffled sound emanated from beneath his feet, and his body instantly shot towards Mu Yuan like a gust of wind.
At his speed, with Sensing Stage strength, he would definitely be knocked down, unable to react at all.
Even an early-stage Spirit Movement Stage expert would struggle to defend against it.
Mu Yuan, however, was very calm.
Just as the punch was about to hit him, Mu Yuan took a small step back.
It was this step that caused Mu Chen's fist to graze past him.
Mu Chen was somewhat surprised that his punch had missed.
He hadn't expected that Brother Yuan could actually dodge his punch.
Mu Chen's year in the Spiritual Path hadn't been in vain, naturally, he wasn't an ordinary person.
His attack didn't stop. He changed his fist into a claw, swiping towards Mu Yuan's shoulder.
"Heh..."
Mu Yuan smiled faintly, his body tilting back slightly. Then, he dragged his feet and slid a few steps, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Is it really just a coincidence?"
Mu Chen frowned, and then, dark black Spiritual Energy erupted from his body. Using both his fists and feet, he charged towards Mu Yuan again.
The Spiritual Energy pressed against the air, creating a creaking, bizarre sound.
His speed had increased by at least double!
