Spirit Wheel Realm Invincible!

The Two Academies Competition...

Had so many days already passed?

In his memory, this academy competition had merely been the path for Mu Chen and Liu Yang to advance from Earth Tier Students to Heaven Tier Students.

Overall, nothing major had happened.

After cultivating for so long, it was time to go out and take a look.

He could also keep track of the Great Thousand World's protagonist's cultivation progress and use it to gauge the situations he could handle.

Besides,

he could test whether he could obtain another sign-in opportunity.

After all, the Sign-in System's requirement was to find the corresponding Plot Character...

Perhaps those were two separate requirements!

"Alright!"

After thinking briefly, Qing Luo nodded.

"Let's go. It's about time to begin!"

Seeing Qing Luo agree, Teacher Mo said with a smile.

Afterward,

Qing Luo followed half a step behind Teacher Mo as they headed toward the plaza for the Two Academies Competition.

Northern Spirit Academy Plaza,

The scorching sunlight filtered through mottled leaves and fell across the Azure Stone floor.

The sky was a clear, brilliant blue.

There was fierce competition between Northern Spirit Academy's East and West Courtyards.

The Two Academies Competition, held every few months, was always the liveliest event. Not only would students and instructors attend, but many residents of Northern Spirit Academy would also come to watch and bear witness.

At that moment, the area around the plaza was already packed with a sea of people.

Conversations, whispers, and the bell-like laughter of young girls blended together.

The air itself seemed filled with youthful vitality.

As the central figures of this academy competition, the top-ranked Earth Tier Students from the East and West Courtyards had arrived around the plaza early to wait.

Besides the Earth Tier Students,

the Heaven Tier Students from both courtyards had also all arrived.

This pushed the atmosphere of the competition to its peak.

"Teacher Mo is here..."

Someone shouted.

The crowd saw Teacher Mo approaching at an unhurried pace, with Qing Luo walking half a step behind him.

"Even Senior Student Qing Luo came..."

"The academy really values this competition!"

"This competition will determine the number one Earth Tier Student. One is the younger brother of Liu Mubai, the West Courtyard's top student, while the other is Mu Chen, who came out of the Spirit Road. Of course they value it."

Seeing Qing Luo appear with Teacher Mo, the East Courtyard students all stepped forward to greet them.

Across the plaza,

the West Courtyard students, who had been high-spirited with Liu Mubai holding down the fort, immediately quieted considerably upon seeing Qing Luo.

Many people turned their gazes toward Liu Mubai nearby.

Both were Northern Spirit Academy Twin Stars.

They all wanted to know which of these two Northern Spirit Academy Prodigies was stronger.

The moment Qing Luo arrived at the plaza,

he felt a scorching gaze.

Raising his head slightly, Qing Luo saw Liu Mubai looking at him with provocation and disdain.

Once Liu Mubai noticed Qing Luo's gaze, he even made a throat-slitting gesture...

Qing Luo nodded, considering it a greeting between them.

Although Liu Mubai was quite talented, Qing Luo thought he was still too young. He did not understand restraint and lacked experience.

If it were Qing Luo,

if he wanted to kill someone, he would never reveal it through his expression and tell them, I'm going to kill you!

"I'm going over there."

Teacher Mo lowered his head and said to Qing Luo.

Then, he walked toward where Teacher Xi, the West Courtyard instructor, and the Northern Spirit Academy Dean were standing nearby.

"Alright."

Qing Luo answered and did not head closer to the plaza.

Instead, he found a comfortable spot beneath a pavilion with a clear view, then leisurely sat down on a stone bench.

From where he sat, he could see the competition grounds perfectly.

Clang—

As a melodious bell rang out,

it announced the official start of the Two Academies Competition.

The participants in the competition

were the top ten Earth Tier Students of Northern Spirit Academy.

Through the competition, the top-ranked Earth Tier Students would be determined. Those who broke through to the Spirit Movement Stage would smoothly become Heaven Tier Students after it ended.

After the Dean gave his customary speech, one student from each courtyard stepped onto the fighting platform.

Unexpectedly,

the competition began at its climax, as the East Courtyard student directly chose Liu Yang, the West Courtyard's seeded contestant.

The result of the match was unsurprising.

With the boost from his Human-grade Connections, Liu Yang was exceedingly dominant and swept through the match.

Though these were the top ten Earth Tier Students,

their Spirit Movement Stage clashes seemed utterly dull to Qing Luo.

Fortunately,

he did not have to wait long before Mu Chen and Liu Yang, the two strongest Earth Tier Students, faced each other.

"Has it finally begun?"

Seeing Mu Chen step onto the stage, Qing Luo became interested as well.

As the respective representatives of the West and East Courtyards' Earth Tier Students, Mu Chen and Liu Yang had never liked each other. Coupled with the hostility between the Liu Region and Mu Region,

the instant they stepped onto the stage, they engaged in an intense close-quarters brawl, driving the match straight into a fever pitch.

Although Liu Yang relied on the strength of his Human-grade Connections

to gain the upper hand several times,

Mu Chen ultimately used the advantage of the Great Pagoda Art to pull the battle back to an even footing, then defeated Liu Yang by a narrow margin!

What surprised Qing Luo was...

Mu Chen had actually broken through to the Mid Spirit Movement Stage!

If he remembered correctly,

ten days ago, Mu Chen had only just broken through to the Spirit Movement Stage.

Crossing a minor realm in ten days...

Although Qing Luo had also broken through to the Spirit Wheel Realm during those ten days, he had already been at the Peak Spirit Movement Stage, at the Half-step Spirit Wheel Realm.

Comparing the two, the cultivation speed of the Great Thousand World's protagonist truly defied reason!

In the end,

the competition gradually came to a close after Liu Yang refused to accept his loss and threw out a Spirit Breaking Bead after the draw, only to be discovered.

"What an idiot..."

Qing Luo shook his head helplessly.

Using a Spirit Breaking Bead in what was merely a contest between students

was enough to show just how immature the Liu Region's two young masters were.

Was it because the Liu Region was temporarily the strongest among the Nine Regions that they had developed the illusion that they had to be number one under heaven?!

Using a Spirit Breaking Bead in front of all those Spirit Soul Realm experts

not only failed to harm Mu Chen, but also handed him a great gift.

If he remembered correctly,

Mu Chen used the Spirit Breaking Bead to gain more than enough benefits during the upcoming Northern Spirit Plains trial.

It was precisely because there were so many foolish villains

that Mu Chen's strength rose at an almost abnormal rate.

Mid Spirit Movement Stage, the Spirit Breaking Bead, and the Netherworld Death Seal he was about to cultivate...

It had to be said...

Qing Luo felt pressured.

That pressure did not only come from Mu Chen's increasing strength.

It also came from the Northern Spirit Plains trial that would take place soon.

The trial contained not only Jade Spirit Fruit, which greatly improved cultivation, but also Blood Tu at the Spirit Wheel Realm Peak and the opportunity connected to the Nine Nether Sparrow.

If he wanted to obtain those opportunities,

his Spirit Wheel Realm Early Stage strength was truly not enough...

Deep in thought,

Qing Luo returned to his dormitory.

The Northern Spirit Plains trial would begin in half a month. Breaking through another realm within half a month was somewhat unrealistic.

The sign-in reward he had been hoping for had not appeared either.

If he wanted to improve his strength again within half a month, it seemed he would have to begin cultivating his Double Pupils and the Kirin Treasure Technique.

Previously,

after switching to the Azure Sky Glazed Body and cultivating the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger, Qing Luo had simply had no time to cultivate the Kirin Treasure Technique.

As long as he mastered the Kirin Treasure Technique,

with the boost of his Double Pupils, Qing Luo was confident that he would be invincible in the Spirit Wheel Realm!
