Chapter 30: Third Check-in! Sword Drawing Art! (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Favorites)
"Spiritual Art Chamber."
Mu Yuan looked towards the other side of the training grounds.
He was a little excited about the reward for this check-in mission.
"Hopefully, it's an offensive Spiritual Art."
Mu Yuan licked his lips.
The Spiritual Art Chamber was where the Northern Spiritual Academy collected Spiritual Arts, and it indeed had many decent ones.
But compared to the system…
You know!
What the system produces is never ordinary.
Afterward, Mu Yuan and Tang Qian'er went to the Spiritual Art Chamber together.
Mu Chen and Tan Qingshan stayed behind to continue their cultivation.
Mu Chen was very interested in an offensive Spiritual Art on the upper floor of the Spiritual Art Chamber.
The Spiritual Art Chamber was also divided into two floors: Earth Tier and Heaven Tier.
Students in the Earth Tier could only browse on the lower floor, and to enter the upper floor, one had to reach the Heaven Tier.
Now that Mu Chen had met the requirements, he naturally thought of this offensive Spiritual Art first.
The spacious Spiritual Art Chamber was bustling with many Northern Spiritual Academy students browsing for Spiritual Arts.
After all, only a very small number of students at the Northern Spiritual Academy had backgrounds like Tang Qian'er and Luo Tong, whose families had already meticulously prepared Spiritual Arts of decent quality.
In Mu Yuan's words, it was the difference between commoners and the wealthy.
However, Mu Yuan knew that the truly top-tier Spiritual Arts collected by the Northern Spiritual Academy were probably beyond even the collections of the Domain Lords of the major domains within the Northern Spiritual Territory.
But only instructors at Master Mo's level had the authority to borrow Spiritual Arts of that caliber.
The lower floor of the Spiritual Art Chamber was crowded. As the three of them entered, Mu Yuan attracted quite a few gazes. After the battle during the academy trials that day, Mu Yuan had clearly become known to all the students at the Northern Spiritual Academy.
"Brother Yuan!"
Students from the West Courtyard looked at Mu Yuan with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, while students from the East Courtyard were filled with excitement.
Mu Yuan nodded gently at those students.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Mu Yuan's mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for arriving at the check-in location. Check-in duration is three minutes. Exiting midway will be considered a failed check-in!"
A countdown of 180 seconds immediately appeared on the system interface.
All he needed to do now was stay in the Spiritual Art Chamber for three minutes.
Mu Yuan called out to Mu Chen and Tang Qian'er:
"You guys go up first."
Mu Chen: "???"
Tang Qian'er: "???"
You were the one who suggested coming to the Spiritual Art Chamber, and now you're not going to the upper floor.
The two were completely bewildered.
In the end, Mu Chen could only give Tang Qian'er a helpless smile, and then they directly passed through the lower floor and entered the second level of the Spiritual Art Chamber, the Heaven Tier.
The 180 seconds passed by in a flash!
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in and receiving the reward: Sword Drawing Art!"
Sword Drawing Art!
The name sounded exactly like a skill from a game character he used to play in his past life.
"System, could you be any more perfunctory?"
Unfortunately, this check-in system was different from other systems; it was just a cold, unfeeling machine.
Apart from issuing missions, it did not communicate with the host in any way.
Complaints aside.
The Sword Drawing Art rewarded by the system was, as Mu Yuan had guessed, exceptionally powerful.
However, Sword Drawing Art was different from other sword techniques.
As any experienced swordsman knows, when first learning sword techniques, the moment of drawing the sword is the least desirable.
It wastes time and affects the speed of the draw. However, Sword Drawing Art emphasizes that drawing the sword means a guaranteed kill.
If Sword Drawing Art is cultivated to the perfected stage, one can draw their sword 200 times per breath, with the draw as swift as lightning, capable of killing with a single strike.
"Mu Yuan, for the cultivation trip to the Northern Spiritual Plains in half a month, I will be teaming up with Liu Mu Bai."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan turned his head and saw Hong Ling, dressed in a red dress, approaching with an icy expression.
Then, she brushed past him without another word.
"..."
Mu Yuan touched his nose.
"Brother Yuan, what does she mean by that?"
Mu Chen, who had come down from the Heaven Tier, was somewhat baffled.
"What else could she mean? Seeing Mu Yuan shine and display his monstrous talent, she regrets her decision."
"On the day of the academy trials, Mu Yuan left her speechless with a single sentence, making her feel utterly humiliated. Now, she wants to prove through this cultivation in the Northern Spiritual Plains that Liu Mu Bai has an advantage over Mu Yuan, and that her judgment was correct."
As a woman herself, Tang Qian'er saw through Hong Ling's thoughts at a glance.
"Her rejection of Brother Yuan that day was a trampling of a man's dignity. Now she wants to get back together and even came here to show off with Liu Mu Bai. She's truly shameless!"
Mu Chen said indignantly.
Tang Qian'er looked at Mu Yuan with her beautiful eyes, asking with concern:
"Are you okay?"
"Why do I hear so much jealousy?"
Mu Yuan retorted, while secretly thinking:
"Liu Mu Bai?"
He was the true number one at Northern Spiritual Academy. Were they about to have their first clash during this cultivation in the Northern Spiritual Plains?
Life was getting more and more interesting.
"If you talk nonsense again, do you believe I'll beat you up?"
Tang Qian'er's delicate eyebrows shot up.
"Cough cough... Can you two consider the feelings of others while you're flirting?"
Mu Chen coughed dryly.
"Mu Chen, do you believe I'll beat you up too?"
Tang Qian'er's pretty face darkened.
"Go ahead and beat me. After you're done, I'll go to the Tang Domain and propose to Uncle Tang."
Mu Yuan said with a smile.
"You dare!"
Tang Qian'er exclaimed urgently, but upon seeing Mu Yuan's teasing expression, her pretty face turned red. She gnashed her teeth and said:
"You got me!"
Then, Mu Chen asked with a serious expression:
"Sister Qian'er, let's talk about something serious. This cultivation in the Northern Spiritual Plains?"
The Northern Spiritual Plains were a rather famous dangerous area within the Northern Spiritual Territory. Its territory was vast and filled with all sorts of ferocious spirit beasts. Exploration teams would often enter it to hunt spirit beasts.
Within the Northern Spiritual Plains, there were also many rare materials and spiritual herbs. In essence, it was a treasure trove.
However, to obtain treasures, one needed sufficient strength. Otherwise, instead of getting the treasure, they might lose their lives there.
Precisely because the Northern Spiritual Plains were rich in resources, the Domain Lords of the Northern Spiritual Territory would sometimes personally lead their subordinates into the Northern Spiritual Plains.
Every expedition inevitably involved fierce battles.
"Our Northern Spiritual Academy's Heaven Tier organizes students to go to the Northern Spiritual Plains for cultivation every so often."
Tang Qian'er smiled charmingly and explained:
"This cultivation allows participants to form teams of two. Those who rank in the top three will receive special rewards."
"Rewards? What are they?"
Mu Chen asked curiously.
"The rewards differ each time. However, this time, the reward is the Spirit Nourishing Pill."
Tang Qian'er thought for a moment and said.
"Spirit Nourishing Pill?"
Mu Chen was slightly surprised.
This spiritual pill had a gentle medicinal effect and left no after-effects after consumption. For someone like him, who was in the middle stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm, taking it might allow him to break through to the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm in a relatively short period.
"Mu Yuan, let's team up for the cultivation in the Northern Spiritual Plains."
Tang Qian'er said with a smile.
If she could obtain a Spirit Nourishing Pill, she should also be able to advance to the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm, preparing her for a future breakthrough to the Spirit Wheel Realm.
