Chapter 8

"Your confidence is something I gave you, do you have any objections?"

When Mu Yuan and the other two looked at the smiling youth in front of them, their expressions couldn't help but change. The originally cold smiles on their faces became more serious, clearly showing a bit of wariness towards Mu Chen.

"Hmph, what a big talker."

However, Mu Yuan was the first to recover. He looked at Mu Chen and let out a cold snort. Seven days ago, he had also advanced to the initial stage of the Spirit Movement Realm. The two behind him, Xue Dong and Xiao Kun, were about to advance as well. With such a lineup, what could Mu Chen possibly do?

Xue Dong and Xiao Kun also quickly thought of this point, and a fierce light flashed in their eyes, their fear diminishing significantly.

"Today, we're just giving them a small lesson. In this Northern Spirit Academy, it's our Western Courtyard's turn to speak, not yours from the Eastern Courtyard to butt in." Mu Yuan clapped his hands and sneered at Mu Chen, "As for you, I think you won't have the face to say such things after tomorrow."

Many of the surrounding students were silent, looking at the arrogant Mu Yuan, they didn't dare to speak. Some of the Eastern Courtyard students were furious, but dared not voice their anger.

After his words, he waved his hand, intending to leave with Xue Dong and the others. Today's display of power was meant to thoroughly suppress the Eastern Courtyard's morale.

Su Ling and the others were also full of anger, clenching their fists tightly. But at this moment, with the other side's overwhelming momentum, even with Mu Chen's arrival, they didn't dare to challenge them head-on.

"I said..."

A voice came from behind, causing Mu Yuan and the others to pause. They turned around and looked at the youth standing in front of Su Ling, who now had a radiant smile on his face.

"Aren't you planning to... apologize before you leave?"

The surrounding sounds seemed to quiet down for a moment. Many of the young men and women looked at the smiling youth in surprise. Although his smile was still radiant, there was a subtle sharpness and coldness in it.

Su Ling and the others were also taken aback, then their faces turned a bit red, clearly not expecting that even in such a situation, Mu Chen would still stand up for them.

"Apologize?"

Mu Yuan's face darkened a bit, and he sneered, "Why should we?"

He was used to being arrogant in the Northern Spirit Academy. Asking him to apologize, was this guy's head broken?

"It seems there's no room for negotiation."

Mu Chen nodded, then said no more, and began to walk towards Mu Yuan and the others step by step.

Mu Yuan and the others looked at the approaching Mu Chen with dark expressions, their eyes meeting, and a cold light flashed in their eyes.

In the Northern Spirit Academy, Mu Chen had always been relatively low-key. Apart from defeating Xue Dong earlier, he had no other notable achievements. However, no one in the entire Northern Spirit Academy dared to underestimate him, not even someone as arrogant as Mu Yuan, who harbored deep wariness towards him. Could someone qualified to participate in the Spirit Path be a simple person?

So...

"Attack!"

A low shout came from Mu Yuan's mouth. Spiritual Energy suddenly surged from his arms. He stomped his foot heavily and charged at Mu Chen first. Behind him, Xue Dong and Xiao Kun quickly followed, moving in unison.

There were also some exclamations from the surrounding students, clearly surprised that Mu Yuan and the others would act so decisively, launching a joint attack without hesitation. These were all fierce individuals in the top ten of the Western Courtyard.

Mu Yuan was the strongest among the three, already at the initial stage of the Spirit Movement Realm. Therefore, his attack was the most fierce, his palms wrapped in Spiritual Energy, the palm wind like a knife, fiercely chopping at Mu Chen.

However, just as his fierce palm wind was about to hit Mu Chen, the latter took a light step to the side, his figure brushing past Mu Yuan. The two eyebrows on his clear face slightly drooped, like a sharp sword unsheathed, his originally gentle face instantly becoming cold and sharp.

He didn't directly attack Mu Yuan but, in the moment they passed each other, he rushed towards Xue Dong and Xiao Kun, who were a step behind Mu Yuan. Dark Spiritual Energy swirled around his fingertips, his fingers spread, and he struck directly at Xue Dong and the others. As the Spiritual Energy surged, a sharp wind sound could be heard.

Xue Dong and the others were also startled by Mu Chen's move, but at this moment, they had no time to dodge. They gritted their teeth, gathered all their strength, and punched out.

As long as they could tangle Mu Chen for a moment, Mu Yuan could turn around and come to their aid, then they could completely drag Mu Chen into a siege.

Xue Dong and the others, who had such rankings in the Western Courtyard, were not ordinary people. However, they had slightly underestimated the strength and the sharpness of the youth in front of them.

When the two of them's punches were about to hit Mu Chen, his palm suddenly brushed past their fists, then sharply fell, grabbing their wrists, and with a burst of strength, pulled them hard.

With their punches moving forward and being so easily led, their entire bodies involuntarily lunged forward, losing balance. Mu Chen's palm swept past their arms, like a snake emerging from a cave, striking their chests without mercy.

Peng!

A low sound echoed, and Xue Dong and the others were sent flying back, landing heavily on the ground, emitting painful cries. Their shirts were torn by the impact.

In just one exchange, Xue Dong and the others were defeated without a doubt.

After Xue Dong and the others' cries, the surrounding students finally came to their senses, unable to help but gape in shock. That was too fast!

"Mu Chen!"

An angry roar came from behind. Mu Yuan, seeing this scene, was so angry that his face turned red. He didn't expect Mu Chen to first avoid him and deal with Xue Dong and the others.

"Flame Palm!"

Mu Yuan's palms suddenly burst with fiery red Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Energy rising like flames, making the air around him feel scorching.

The surrounding students exclaimed in surprise. This was the strength of the second-ranked person in the Western Courtyard?

Mu Chen also turned around at this moment. He looked at the fiercely approaching Mu Yuan, his fingers tightly clenched into a fist, showing no intention of avoiding the attack. Dark Spiritual Energy swirled around his fist, and he punched out.

Peng!

The fist and palm collided heavily, a wave of air spreading out. The fiery red and dark Spiritual Energy intertwined. Mu Yuan's face instantly turned blood red, his body trembling violently. With a spurt of blood from his mouth, he staggered back several steps, finally collapsing onto the ground in a sorry state.

In just one move, the winner and loser were decided.

Although both were at the initial stage of the Spirit Movement Realm, it was clear that Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy was far more condensed and sharp than Mu Yuan's.

Xue Dong and the others, who had been knocked to the ground earlier, were also stunned. Mu Yuan was at the initial stage of the Spirit Movement Realm, how could he not even withstand one punch from Mu Chen?

"How is this possible!" Mu Yuan sat on the ground in a sorry state, his face full of disbelief, even forgetting to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Mu is so amazing!"

Su Ling and the others were also stunned, then their faces lit up with joy. They didn't expect that Mu Chen, facing three opponents, could still gain such an absolute advantage.

Mu Chen, however, remained calm. He looked at the sorry Mu Yuan and smiled, "Can you apologize now?"

Mu Yuan's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth, "In your dreams!"

Mu Chen seemed to have expected this response. His smile became even more radiant, and he nodded, then took large steps towards Mu Yuan. Dark Spiritual Energy slowly rose from his palms.

Mu Yuan looked at the approaching Mu Chen. Although Mu Chen's smile was radiant, for some reason, he felt a bone-chilling coldness.

As Mu Chen approached Mu Yuan, the dark Spiritual Energy on his palms became even more concentrated. Just as he stopped in front of Mu Yuan, a light clapping sound came from the side.

"Hehe, no wonder you've participated in the Spirit Path before, but your actions are a bit too disrespectful to our Western Courtyard, aren't they?"

Mu Chen turned his head and saw the crowd parting. A figure slowly approached with a smile. The surrounding students all stepped back, fear in their eyes.

In the many fearful gazes, the youth stood in front of Mu Chen. He had a rather handsome appearance, but the slight upward tilt of his lips revealed a touch of arrogance and defiance. At this moment, he crossed his arms, looking at Mu Chen with the eyes of a predator.

The first-ranked person of the Western Courtyard, Liu Yang.
