Chapter 93 Return to Spirit City
Under the lingering gaze of the Snow Woman, Qin Mu and his companions left the ice cave where she lived and gradually disappeared into the vast snowfield.
After spending time together, the group gradually became more familiar with each other.
This is also why Ling Yuan dared to directly confront Xue Nu.
Of course, now that the three have left, Yuki-onna will continue her previous life for a long time to come.
Alone in the far north, day after day.
With a sigh, the Snow Woman returned to her ice cave, her expression once again becoming proud and defiant.
Just as she sat cross-legged in her seat, preparing to cultivate, Xue Nu suddenly discovered several jade bottles she had never seen before beside her.
Curious, she opened the jade bottles one by one, and the Snow Woman's originally cold face gradually melted.
Because those jade bottles were filled with rare and precious materials that could help the Snow Maiden's cultivation.
Extremely Cold Yin Spring, Dragon Mushroom Leaf for Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Vitality, Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, and other common Immortal Herbs with ice attributes.
Looking at these valuable medicinal herbs, the Snow Maiden's gaze gradually softened.
She could always get the emotions she wanted most from Qin Mu.
As long as she treats Qin Mu well, Qin Mu will find ways to show her extra care.
This concern was something the Snow Woman had never felt before, yet desperately craved.
After repackaging the jade bottles, the Snow Maiden held them in her arms, her thoughts drifting away into the distance.
After a while, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the Snow Woman's mouth.
On their way back to Spirit City, Qin Mu and Ling Yuan found a secluded spot to test Qin Mu's current strength alone.
Of course, Ling Yuan wasn't assigned the sparring partner role by Qin Mu; she volunteered for it herself.
Yue Guan originally wanted to take this opportunity to make some moves, but Ling Yuan rejected Yue Guan's application on the grounds that he was not strong enough.
Yue Guan was completely helpless in this regard.
After all, Ling Yuan's strength is now superior to his.
Perhaps in the Spirit Hall, his status would be higher than Ling Yuan's.
But this was in front of Qin Mu. Ling Yuan had followed Qin Mu longer than him and was stronger, so he naturally didn't have as much say.
However, as soon as Qin Mu made his move, Yue Guan immediately felt relieved that he wasn't the one being used as a sparring partner!
Because of Qin Mu's current attacks, even Ling Yuan could be injured if she is not careful!
What's Qin Mu's strength? Level 60, fifth ring!
Such strength is enough to injure a level 96 Title Douluo, it's simply astonishing!
Of course, this is only relatively speaking.
If it were a life-or-death struggle, Ling Yuan would still be able to completely defeat Qin Mu.
The problem is that Ling Yuan only defends and does not attack.
Furthermore, Ling Yuan was able to withstand the vast majority of Qin Mu's attacks.
It's just not as pleasant as it seems.
Although Qin Mu currently only has five rings, his soul power level has already reached level sixty.
With the nourishment of numerous rare and precious herbs and Immortal Plants, Qin Mu is now able to contend with even a fully-fledged seven-ring Soul Sage.
The series of blows made Ling Yuan feel somewhat suffocated.
Qin Mu's full-force hammer strike, enhanced by all his power, made Ling Yuan feel her blood surging.
This is without Qin Mu unleashing his strongest killing move, Heaven and Earth Hammer.
Otherwise, even with Ling Yuan's strength, she would definitely get injured in this situation of simply defending and enduring.
He took out a piece of the Dragon Mushroom leaf from the Ruyi Treasure Pouch and put it into Ling Yuan's mouth, which gradually calmed down Ling Yuan's turbulent blood and qi.
"Little Qin Mu, with your current strength, going to compete in that competition is simply bullying!"
Recalling Qin Mu's attack just now, which she herself felt somewhat overwhelmed by, Ling Yuan couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the younger generation who were about to participate in the competition, and even for those who aspired to win the championship.
Because they had no idea what kind of opponent they were about to face.
...
One week later, in Spirit City.
At the Spirit Hall Academy, four students waited on the competition stage.
"I really don't understand, there's less than a month left until the competition, how come the list of participants still hasn't been finalized!"
"Yeah, do you think we four would be eliminated?"
These four students were four of the team members that the Spirit Hall Academy was originally going to send this time.
Xu Yu, Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, and Li Kai.
The people who just spoke were Sun Chuantao and Li Kai.
"Alright, the teachers have their reasons for making these arrangements, we just need to follow them."
A clear female voice rang out. As the only female student among the four, Zhang Ping had always been very supportive of the academy's arrangements.
"Come on, Zhang Ping, there's no one else here. Can't you just tell the truth?"
"Don't forget, apart from Xu Yu, our soul power is the lowest."
"If we're going to kick people out first, the first two people we should kick out are the two of us."
Li Kai curled his lip in disdain, but his gaze kept sweeping over Zhang Ping from head to toe.
Although Zhang Ping is not as alluring as Hu Liena in terms of attractiveness, she is still a rare beauty.
With her medium-length black hair, fair skin, and tall, well-proportioned figure, paired with the Spirit Hall's unique silver uniform and pleated skirt, and tall boots underneath, her long, slender legs appeared even more striking.
In the Spirit Hall Academy, Zhang Ping's charm may not be as great as Hu Liena's, but she can still be ranked second.
Embarrassingly, among the female students in the academy, Zhang Ping could only rank second in terms of both popularity and ability.
"That's exactly what I meant. Even if I'm demoted to a lower-level position, it just means that the people who come here are better than me."
"Since I can't compare to others, it's only right that I'm eliminated."
Although her words were very firm, Zhang Ping's gloved hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
A short while later, three more figures appeared on the competition stage.
Upon seeing the three, Zhang Ping and the others greeted them with great respect.
In terms of age, these three people are probably much younger than them.
However, in terms of strength, these three are far superior to them.
After all, the three of them were known as the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall!
At only twenty years old, they had already broken through level fifty and entered the ranks of Soul King!
And there were three of them!
"You should also know why I called you here today."
After years of tempering, Xie Yue has gradually developed a leader's aura.
"To be honest, the fact that you're all standing here in the end is enough to prove how excellent you are."
"But I'm sorry, you're not the only outstanding people. Those you trample on are also outstanding."
"But why are there seven of us standing here at the end?"
"Because the seven of us are better than them!"
These few words revealed the harsh reality, making everyone's hearts leap into their throats.
"Based on our discussions with the teachers, we have made the final decision."
"Li Kai, you have been relegated from a key player to a substitute player in this competition."
"Qin Mu will take up the new position."
Upon hearing this, Li Kai's face immediately lost all color.
