Chapter 75

In the training ground, the atmosphere became somewhat tumultuous due to the sudden explosive news. Shocked gazes were fixed on the young figure standing at the front.

Spirit Wheel Realm?

In the current Northern Spirit Academy, although many excellent students had reached the brink of a breakthrough, only one person was known to have truly advanced to this level, and that was Liu Mubai from the West Courtyard, the undisputed strongest student in the Northern Spirit Academy.

But now, could it be that their East Courtyard had produced a second one?

Ink Ridge and the others stared blankly at Mu Chen, then he let out a bitter laugh. He had been boasting just a moment ago, but he never expected Mu Chen to have already left him far behind.

"Truly a monster." Ink Ridge and Tan Qingshan exchanged glances, both seeing the same expression in each other's eyes. Especially the latter, who had ascended to the Heavenly Rank with Mu Chen, was now only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Movement Realm, while the other had surpassed him by an unknown margin.

"Indeed, a tough opponent."

Chen Fan and Huo Yun's expressions also became more serious. Although the spiritual energy in their Qi Seas had begun to form a wheel, there was still a gap between this and the true Spirit Wheel Realm.

Looking at the calm expression of the young man in front, they sucked their teeth. It seemed that this competitor was indeed quite difficult to deal with.

Teacher Mo waved his hand to stop the commotion in the training ground. He gave Mu Chen a deep look and said, "Although you have advanced to the Spirit Wheel Realm, you should still stay in the Northern Spirit Academy for this month. It should be beneficial for you."

Hearing this, Mu Chen's heart stirred. He looked at Teacher Mo but didn't say much, just nodding.

"Alright, everyone, continue your training. Mu Chen, follow me." Teacher Mo waved his hand and walked out of the training ground. Seeing this, Mu Chen immediately followed.

With the departure of the two, the training ground erupted in complete commotion, clearly still immersed in the shock of Mu Chen's advancement to the Spirit Wheel Realm.

Mu Chen, however, paid no attention to the commotion in the training ground. Walking out, he saw Teacher Mo standing with his hands behind his back.

"Mu Chen, I believe you can guess why the Northern Spirit Academy has a seed quota this time, right?" Teacher Mo smiled at Mu Chen. Although the latter appeared to be a naive young man, he knew that Mu Chen's maturity and caution were no less than those of seasoned warriors.

"Is it because of me?" Mu Chen could indeed guess some of it. Seed quotas were extremely rare, not just in the Northern Spirit Realm but in the entire Hundred Spirit Heaven. Without some special reason, it would be impossible for such a small academy like the Northern Spirit Academy to obtain one.

Teacher Mo nodded and said, "Indeed, it has something to do with you, but Dean Xiao does not intend to directly give you the seed quota."

"I understand. This thing is too attractive. Giving it to me would make it difficult for the Northern Spirit Academy to handle." Mu Chen was not surprised. The Northern Spirit Academy always maintained a neutral stance, and there were countless people in the Northern Spirit Realm eyeing the quota. If it were given to him directly, it would be hard to convince others.

"Moreover," Mu Chen smiled slightly, his smile at this moment was somewhat arrogant but not at all unpleasant: "If it's something that belongs to me, I will take it back by myself and don't need others to generously give it to me."

Teacher Mo was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh, a look of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "You're a confident little guy. Since that's the case, do you know who your main opponent will be in the competition for the seed quota?"

"Liu Mubai." Mu Chen shrugged. Although that guy was indeed very annoying, even Mu Chen had to admit that he had some decent abilities.

"Do you know Liu Mubai's strength?" Teacher Mo asked again.

"He should have advanced to the Spirit Wheel Realm quite early. Although it's widely believed in the Northern Spirit Academy that he is at the early stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm, I think he might be even stronger than that." Mu Chen thought for a moment and said. He had roughly clashed with Liu Mubai before, and the latter was clearly hiding some of his strength.

"Right, the current Liu Mubai might be at the mid-stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm." Teacher Mo nodded.

"Indeed." Mu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He was indeed a tough opponent, but now that Mu Chen had also advanced to the Spirit Wheel Realm, he wasn't afraid of him in a real confrontation.

"Moreover, today Liu Mubai also learned that the Northern Spirit Academy has a seed quota. Then he gave up the personal guidance from Teacher Xi and rushed back to the Liu Domain, and even took a month off." Teacher Mo smiled faintly.

"Gave up Teacher Xi's guidance?" Mu Chen was slightly surprised. Teacher Xi was a genuine Divine Soul Realm expert, and getting his personal guidance was not something ordinary students could enjoy. But Liu Mubai actually gave it up?

"He made this choice for one reason: he is confident that the Liu Domain has the means to give him a higher level of improvement." Teacher Mo said softly.

Mu Chen nodded solemnly. Although Liu Qingtian was a late-stage Divine Soul Realm expert, when it came to guiding cultivation, he didn't think Liu Qingtian was more professional than Teacher Xi.

Where did Liu Mubai get this confidence?

Mu Chen pursed his lips, feeling a sense of crisis. This unknown factor was the most daunting.

"During this month, I will also guide you. Of course, if you think you can get better improvement by returning to the Mu Domain, I won't stop you." Teacher Mo smiled.

"Teacher Mo, you're joking. Although my father is also a Divine Soul Realm expert, he has never really taught me much about cultivation. He's not good at it." Mu Chen said helplessly. Mu Feng might be stronger than Teacher Mo, but he wasn't suitable for guiding others in cultivation.

Teacher Mo smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I will personally guide you for this month. But before that, I should also tell you about the compensation the Northern Spirit Academy is giving you."

"Compensation?" Mu Chen was a bit surprised, then shook his head and said, "Is it because of the seed quota? Teacher Mo, the Northern Spirit Academy's actions are understandable, and I don't think I have lost anything."

"Ha ha, this is what Dean Xiao said. No matter what, the Northern Spirit Academy's ability to have a seed quota is because of your existence. If you think 'compensation' sounds bad, then let's call it a reward." Teacher Mo smiled.

"Alright then." Mu Chen scratched his head and didn't refuse. If the Northern Spirit Academy wanted to give him benefits, it would be pretentious to decline.

"Follow me, let's go to the Spirit Technique Room." Teacher Mo smiled.

"Spirit Technique Room?" Mu Chen was taken aback.

"Aren't you very interested in the third floor of the Spirit Technique Room? This time, I'll let you go in." Teacher Mo smiled faintly and turned to leave.

"The third floor of the Spirit Technique Room?" Mu Chen licked his lips, his eyes filled with joy. The third floor of the Spirit Technique Room housed the most powerful spirit techniques in the Northern Spirit Academy, and its collection was definitely richer than his father's.

It seemed that this time, the Northern Spirit Academy was really willing to make a big investment. The third floor of the Spirit Technique Room was rarely accessible to students, and the spirit techniques there were at least at the Spirit Level!

Mu Chen was excited and hurriedly followed.

Mu Chen followed Teacher Mo through the Northern Spirit Academy and directly entered the Spirit Technique Room, then headed straight to the second floor. At this time, there were still some Heavenly Rank students browsing through spirit techniques on the second floor. They were surprised to see Teacher Mo leading Mu Chen up.

"Mu Chen?"

A voice came from the side, and Mu Chen looked over to see Hong Ling, dressed in a red dress, staring at him with slightly parted lips.

"Senior Hong Ling."

Mu Chen smiled and nodded at Hong Ling but didn't say much, directly following Teacher Mo to the depths of the second floor, where there was a faint light curtain. The light curtain emitted a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation.

The two stopped in front of the light curtain, immediately drawing shocked gazes from the many students on the second floor. They all knew that this was the passage to the third floor of the Spirit Technique Room, but no student had ever been qualified to enter.

"What is Teacher Mo doing?"

The Heavenly Rank students looked at Teacher Mo and Mu Chen standing behind him with surprise. Their eyes flickered, as if they understood something, and a strong shock appeared in their eyes.

"Can't be..."

As they whispered in shock, Teacher Mo waved his sleeve, and the light curtain slowly split open. Just as he was about to lead Mu Chen in, a voice from behind couldn't hold back: "Teacher Mo, why can he enter the third floor?!"

Teacher Mo paused, turned around, and saw many Heavenly Rank students staring at him with resentment and jealousy. They had long coveted the third floor of the Spirit Technique Room but had never been qualified to enter. Now, seeing Teacher Mo about to take Mu Chen in, they felt unbalanced.

Teacher Mo glanced at them and said calmly, "Because his performance in the Spirit Path has earned the Northern Spirit Academy its first seed quota in history. Is this reason enough?"

The entire second floor of the Spirit Technique Room fell silent instantly. The gazes of the students were filled with disbelief as they looked at Mu Chen. The Northern Spirit Academy's first seed quota in history was because of him? But wasn't he expelled halfway? Why would the Five Great Academies specially give a seed quota to the Northern Spirit Academy?

Hong Ling couldn't help but cover her lips with her hand, then she looked at the young man standing behind Teacher Mo, calmly accepting the shocked gazes of the many students. This once ordinary and unremarkable young man was now gradually shining and becoming brilliant.

Seeing that no one questioned further, Teacher Mo waved his hand and stepped into the light curtain, with Mu Chen closely following.

As the two disappeared into the light curtain, the second floor of the Spirit Technique Room remained silent for a long time, still immersed in the shock of the news.
