"Spirit Art Room."
Mu Yuan looked toward the other side of the training grounds.
He was somewhat looking forward to the reward for this check-in mission.
"An offensive Spirit Art would be best."
Mu Yuan licked his lips.
The Spirit Art Room was where Northern Spiritual Academy stored its Spirit Arts, and it indeed contained quite a few decent ones.
But compared to the system...
You knew how it was!
Anything produced by the system was no ordinary item.
Afterward, Mu Yuan and Tang Qian'er headed to the Spirit Art Room together.
Mu Chen and Tan Qingshan stayed behind to continue training.
Mu Chen was very interested in an offensive Spirit Art on the Heaven Grade level of the Spirit Art Room.
The Spirit Art Room was likewise divided into Heaven and Earth levels.
Earth Grade students could only enter the Earth level to browse, while entering the Heaven level required reaching the Heaven Grade.
Now that Mu Chen met the requirements, he naturally thought of that offensive Spirit Art right away.
The spacious Spirit Art Room was bustling with people, with quite a few Northern Spiritual Academy students browsing Spirit Arts within.
After all, only a very small number of Northern Spiritual Academy students had backgrounds like Tang Qian'er and Luo Tong, whose families had already carefully prepared Spirit Arts of respectable rank for them.
In Mu Yuan's words, it was the difference between commoners and the wealthy.
However, Mu Yuan knew that the truly top-tier Spirit Arts collected by Northern Spiritual Academy likely surpassed even the collections of the major domain lords throughout the Northern Spiritual Territory.
It was just that Spirit Arts of that level could only be borrowed by instructors of Master Mo's rank.
The Earth level of the Spirit Art Room was bustling with people. The moment Mu Yuan's group of three entered, they drew plenty of attention. After the battle during the Academy Trial, Mu Yuan had clearly become known to every Northern Spiritual Academy student.
"Brother Yuan!"
The West Courtyard students looked at Mu Yuan with curiosity and apprehension, while the East Courtyard students were filled with excitement.
Mu Yuan nodded gently at those students.
At the same time, the system's notification sounded in Mu Yuan's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for arriving at the check-in location. Check-in duration: three minutes. Leaving midway will be considered a failed check-in!"
A countdown of one hundred and eighty seconds immediately appeared on the system interface.
All he had to do now was remain in the Spirit Art Room for three minutes.
Mu Yuan called out to Mu Chen and Tang Qian'er.
"You two go up first."
Mu Chen: "???"
Tang Qian'er: "???"
You were the one who suggested coming to the Spirit Art Room, yet now you were not going to the Heaven level.
The two of them were completely baffled.
In the end, Mu Chen could only smile helplessly at Tang Qian'er before directly passing through the Earth level with her and entering the second floor of the Spirit Art Room, the Heaven level.
One hundred and eighty seconds passed in the blink of an eye!
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully checking in. Reward obtained: Sword Drawing Art!"
Sword Drawing Art!
Why did this name sound exactly like the skill of a game character he had played in his previous life?
"System, could you be any more perfunctory?"
Unfortunately, unlike other systems, this Check-in System was merely a cold machine.
Other than issuing missions, it currently would not communicate with its host in any way.
Complaints aside.
As Mu Yuan had guessed, the Sword Drawing Art rewarded by the system possessed extraordinary power.
However, the Sword Drawing Art differed from other sword techniques.
Any expert who used a sword knew that when first cultivating swordsmanship, the moment they least wanted was the act of drawing the sword.
It wasted time and affected the strike, but the Sword Drawing Art emphasized killing with every draw.
If the Sword Drawing Art was cultivated to perfection, one could draw the sword two hundred times in a single breath. The sword would flash like thunder, capable of killing with a single strike.
"Mu Yuan, for the Northern Spiritual Plains training half a month from now, I'll be teaming up with Liu Mu Bai."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Mu Yuan.
When Mu Yuan turned around, he saw Hong Ling approaching in a red dress, her face frosty.
Then she brushed past him and did not say another word.
"..."
Mu Yuan rubbed his nose.
"Brother Yuan, what did she mean by that?"
Mu Chen, who had come down from the Heaven level, was somewhat baffled.
"What else could it mean? After seeing Mu Yuan shine so brilliantly and display such monstrous talent, she regretted it."
"Mu Yuan left her speechless with a single sentence during the Academy Trial, making her feel humiliated. Now she wants to use this Northern Spiritual Plains training to prove that Liu Mu Bai is superior to Mu Yuan and that her judgment was right."
As a woman herself, Tang Qian'er saw through Hong Ling's thoughts at a glance.
"Rejecting Brother Yuan that day was already an insult to a man's dignity. Yet she still wants to come crawling back. Now she's with Liu Mu Bai and even came here specially to provoke us. She's truly shameless!"
Mu Chen was indignant.
Tang Qian'er looked at Mu Yuan with concern in her beautiful eyes.
"Are you all right?"
"Why do I smell such a strong scent of jealousy?"
Mu Yuan countered, while secretly thinking to himself:
Liu Mu Bai?
He was the undisputed number one of Northern Spiritual Academy. Was this Northern Spiritual Plains training going to be the start of their first clash?
Things were getting more and more interesting.
"If you keep spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"
Tang Qian'er's willow brows shot up as she spoke.
"Ahem... Could you two stop flirting and consider how the people around you feel?"
Mu Chen gave a dry cough.
"Mu Chen, believe it or not, I'll beat you up too?"
Tang Qian'er's pretty face darkened.
"Go ahead. After you're done, I'll go to the Tang Domain and propose marriage to Uncle Tang."
Mu Yuan said with a smile.
"You wouldn't dare!"
Tang Qian'er hurriedly cried out, but when she saw the teasing look on Mu Yuan's face, her pretty face immediately flushed red. She gritted her pearly teeth and said resentfully:
"You win!"
Afterward, Mu Chen asked with a serious expression:
"Sister Qian'er, let's talk business. This Northern Spiritual Plains training?"
The Northern Spiritual Plains was a rather famous dangerous region within the Northern Spiritual Territory. Its territory was vast, filled with all sorts of ferocious spirit beasts. From time to time, adventuring parties would enter to hunt spirit beasts.
The Northern Spiritual Plains also contained many rare materials and spirit medicines. In that sense, it could be considered a treasure land.
However, obtaining treasures required sufficient strength. Otherwise, not only would one fail to obtain any treasure, but one might leave one's life there instead.
Precisely because the Northern Spiritual Plains was rich in resources, the major domain lords of the Northern Spiritual Territory would sometimes personally lead their subordinates into it.
Every entry inevitably resulted in extremely brutal slaughter.
"Our Northern Spiritual Academy's Heaven Grade students organize training in the Northern Spiritual Plains every so often."
Tang Qian'er smiled sweetly as she explained:
"This kind of training allows teams of two, and the top three in the final rankings receive special rewards."
"Rewards? What are they?"
Mu Chen asked curiously.
"The rewards are different each time. However, this time's reward is the Spirit Nourishing Pill."
Tang Qian'er thought for a moment before answering.
"Spirit Nourishing Pill?"
Mu Chen was slightly startled.
This spirit pill had gentle medicinal properties and left no side effects after consumption. With cultivation like his at the middle stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm, consuming one might allow him to reach the late stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm fairly quickly.
"Mu Yuan, let's team up for the Northern Spiritual Plains training."
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 and prepare for her future breakthrough into the Spirit Wheel Realm.
