A figure walked slowly from the crowd, a smile on his face.
The young man had a rather handsome appearance, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth revealed a hint of rebelliousness and an unconcealable arrogance.
"Liu Yang! It's Liu Yang!"
The surrounding students' expressions changed drastically, fear flashing in their eyes.
Liu Yang, he was the number one person in the West Courtyard Earth Tier!
Unlike the other students, Mu Yuan, Xue Dong, and Xiao Kun were overjoyed to see Liu Yang, shouting excitedly:
"Brother Liu!"
Liu Yang glanced at the disheveled Mu Yuan and the other two, frowning. His gaze then fixed coldly on Mu Yuan:
"Let them go!"
His voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling dominance.
Mu Yuan looked at the most famous young man in the West Courtyard Earth Tier before him and did not respond.
Of course, Mu Yuan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Looking at Mu Yuan again, their eyes held a touch of triumph and ferocity.
Mu Yuan's lineup was indeed not weak, and he had even defeated the three of them earlier, but compared to the current number one person in the West Courtyard Earth Tier, and even the entire Northern Spiritual Academy Earth Tier, there was still a huge gap.
With Liu Yang backing them, they naturally wouldn't fear Mu Yuan.
If Mu Yuan had water in his brain and dared to show no respect, it would be a great disrespect to Liu Yang!
"But they injured our East Courtyard people for no reason. It's not impossible to let them go, but they have to publicly apologize!"
Mu Yuan spoke softly.
Suddenly.
The surrounding students couldn't help but shiver.
Liu Yang was not comparable to Mu Yuan and the other two.
Mu Yuan actually dared to refuse.
Given Liu Yang's temper, this matter would not end well today.
As expected, Liu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze carrying a hint of coldness.
In the Earth Tier of the Northern Spiritual Academy, no one had ever dared to defy his will.
Although he had heard about Mu Yuan before, Mu Yuan possessed spiritual veins and was already in the Spiritual Movement Realm.
"I heard you're going to fight me in place of Mu Chen in the competition between the two academies tomorrow. I'm really curious, where did you get the confidence to do so, having only barely entered the Sensing Realm a few days ago?"
"Could it be that you defeated Mu Yuan and the other two through sneak attacks, and your confidence swelled to the point where you dared to challenge me, the number one in the Earth Tier?"
The corners of Liu Yang's lips curved into a mocking arc, and he looked at Mu Yuan as if he were looking at an ant.
"Pfft!"
Mu Yuan chuckled softly.
"What are you laughing at?"
Liu Yang was taken aback.
"Do you know what you look like to me right now?"
Mu Yuan said with a smile, looking at Liu Yang, who exuded arrogance.
"What do I look like?"
Liu Yang asked.
The others also pricked up their ears, filled with curiosity.
"Like a frog living in a well, bragging to a sea turtle from the deep sea about how big and deep and wide its well is, and how it's the largest well within a hundred-mile radius."
Liu Yang's entire face darkened, and he said coldly:
"What do you mean by that?"
Mu Yuan did not answer. Instead, he clasped his hands behind his back and silently raised his head to look at the sky.
Liu Yang looked at Mu Yuan, waiting for his explanation.
The other students around also didn't understand and stared at Mu Yuan curiously, clearly wanting to know the meaning of his words.
"Brother Yuan, you really know how to insult people in different ways."
Mu Chen had been holding back his laughter.
He was very familiar with this story; it was the story of the frog in the well that Brother Yuan had told him since he was little.
Seeing the curious gazes of the many students seeking an explanation, Mu Chen finally couldn't help himself and explained with a smile:
"Brother Yuan doesn't want to answer the frog's question."
Su Ling: "..."
Luo Dong: "..."
Mu Yuan: "..."
Numerous students: "..."
Liu Yang: "???"
The air suddenly fell silent.
Boom!
An extremely potent killing intent erupted.
Veins bulged on Liu Yang's forehead, his rage almost impossible to suppress as he clenched his fists.
"Mu Yuan! You called me a frog?"
In his entire life, no one had ever dared to look down on him like this.
As soon as he spoke, Liu Yang took a step forward, spiritual energy surging around his arms. The intensity of his spiritual energy was considerably stronger than even Mu Yuan's.
Seeing Liu Yang's imposing aura, the other students were startled.
Was this guy going to make a move now?
"You want to fight me now?"
Mu Yuan turned his head. Just as the students thought he was preparing to fight, they heard him shout:
"Little Mu, I've already dealt with three people and need to recuperate. I'll leave this frog for you to handle."
In an instant, the entire place fell silent.
"He knows he's no match for Liu Yang, but he's making excuses to avoid the fight. How can someone be so shameless!"
However, the students' gazes then all shifted to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen walked to face Liu Yang, his palm rotating slightly as dark, shadowy spiritual energy flowed subtly around his fingertips.
The intensity of his spiritual energy was actually on par with Liu Yang's.
The atmosphere between the two became tense and charged.
Many of the surrounding students couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The two before them were the number one person in the West Courtyard's Earth Tier, and the other was by no means a pushover.
They were also very curious as to who would emerge victorious between the two.
"Stop!"
Just as the two were locked in a confrontation, a sharp shout suddenly came from afar.
Then, the sound of wind cutting through the air echoed, and a sturdy figure appeared between them.
"Master Mo!"
The students around were startled upon seeing the newcomer, and then quickly bowed respectfully.
The middle-aged man referred to as Master Mo had a resolute face, and within his body, astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations could be faintly perceived, causing considerable pressure on the surrounding students.
Even the enraged Liu Yang had to restrain his temper at this moment.
After all, Master Mo was a genuine Divine Spirit Realm expert.
When a Spiritual Movement Realm expert condenses their internal spiritual energy into a wheel, they enter the Spirit Wheel Realm.
The degree of spiritual energy condensation for Spirit Wheel Realm experts was far beyond that of the Spiritual Movement Realm.
And after the Spirit Wheel Realm came the Divine Spirit Realm.
This was a watershed realm.
Experts in the Divine Spirit Realm, let alone in Northern Spiritual Academy, were considered true powerhouses even in the vast Northern Spiritual Territory. Even Liu Yang didn't dare to offend them lightly.
This was because the combat power of experts at this level far surpassed that of the Spirit Wheel Realm. Moreover, once they entered the Divine Spirit Realm, they gained a peculiar ability: the refinement of Beast Souls.
Beast Souls were the refined spirits of the myriad beasts of heaven and earth. Once refined, one could gain the strength of certain spiritual beasts, which, combined with their own spiritual energy, would naturally cause their combat power to skyrocket.
The Great Thousand World had compiled countless known spiritual beasts into the Myriad Beast Record, divided into Heaven and Earth rankings.
"If you wish to spar within the academy, you can go to the martial arts stage. Are you treating the academy rules as mere decorations?"
Master Mo surveyed the crowd and said sternly.
Liu Yang took a deep breath and finally managed to suppress his anger.
"Master Mo is joking."
He knew he wouldn't be able to fight today, so he turned to Mu Yuan and said coldly, "Tomorrow is the academy test. Let's see what excuses you come up with then. Also, stay away from senior Hong Ling from now on!"
