Chapter 84

In the vast Northern Spirit Field, the atmosphere was boiling, with countless eyes eagerly watching the arena, waiting for the upcoming fierce battle.

Amidst the attention of the crowd, Liu Mubai moved and was the first to leap onto the stage, his eyes coldly fixed on Mu Chen from the East Courtyard. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of impatience. He was very eager to see the expressions of those who had confidence in Mu Chen when Mu Chen was defeated.

Mu Chen also saw Liu Mubai's sinister smile. Then, with a calm face, he climbed onto the stage and stood not far from Liu Mubai.

"Brother Mu, go for it!"

Su Ling and the others shouted with flushed faces. Although they all knew how powerful Liu Mubai was, they also had great confidence in Mu Chen.

"It's finally the day I've been waiting for."

Liu Mubai gently twisted his neck, his gaze fixed on Mu Chen. A smile spread across his face, but beneath that smile was a chilling coldness. He had been enduring for a long time for this moment.

"I'm not afraid of being twisted." Mu Chen smiled lightly.

"I'll cripple you." Liu Mubai shrugged and smiled.

"If I get the chance, I will too." Mu Chen nodded seriously.

Liu Mubai smiled at Mu Chen, who also looked at him seriously. The atmosphere seemed gentle, but the coldness in their eyes made people feel a chill.

"It seems only Mu Chen can compete with Liu Mubai for the seed quota." Tangshan, the domain lord of Tang Domain, couldn't help but say, looking at the two opponents on the stage. These two were the most outstanding among the young generation of the Northern Spirit Field.

"But from what I know, Liu Mubai is already at the middle stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm. He has mastered many powerful spirit techniques from Liu Domain, making his combat strength extremely formidable. Mu Chen is only at the early stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm, so he might be at a disadvantage." Tangshan looked at Mu Feng, as he had a good relationship with him and naturally favored Mu Chen.

Mu Feng smiled faintly and said, "That Liu kid does have some skills, but Mu Chen isn't a soft target either."

Although Mu Feng acknowledged Liu Mubai's abilities, he was also confident that his son wouldn't be far behind.

"Haha, if that's the case, I'll be watching closely." Tangshan chuckled.

On the other side of the seats, Liu Qingtian seemed to have heard Mu Feng's words, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips, along with a look of anticipation for the show: "Daydreaming."

At the main stage, Mr. Hao from the "Five Great Academies" sat up straight, no longer appearing lazy. His cloudy eyes showed a glint of interest: "The main event is finally here."

Xiao Dean also nodded, then stood up, his gaze sweeping across the arena, pausing briefly on Mu Chen and Liu Mubai. He lightly waved his hand.

"The competition for the seed quota begins!"

Boom!

The moment Xiao Dean's voice fell, two powerful spiritual energies erupted almost simultaneously from the arena, causing whirlwinds.

Two pairs of cold eyes, through the enveloping spiritual energy, met, with sparks flashing.

Swish!

In that instant, two figures shot out, one a black shadow, the other a red shadow, piercing through the air's resistance, charging straight ahead. They didn't take any evasive actions. After a few breaths, they collided head-on in the center of the stage like two wild bulls.

Bang!

At the moment of impact, a fierce spiritual energy shockwave swept out, cracking the hard ground.

The two figures, after a brief touch, retreated, each taking several steps back, leaving half-inch deep marks on the ground with each step.

The strength of their spiritual energies was far beyond that of ordinary early-stage Spirit Wheel Realm practitioners!

"Interesting." Liu Mubai licked his lips, his gaze on Mu Chen like he was looking at a prey that had caught his interest. In the next moment, his eyes turned cold, and fiery spiritual energy wrapped around his feet like flames. With a step, a sound like an explosion echoed beneath his feet, and his figure turned into a fiery red shadow, dashing out.

That speed was as fast as lightning, causing a stir among the crowd.

"That's Liu Domain's Flame Step, a low-grade Spirit Technique. I didn't expect Liu Mubai to have mastered it." Tangshan was slightly surprised, watching Liu Mubai's fiery figure.

The fiery red figure almost instantly appeared behind Mu Chen, and then he struck with a palm, the fiery spiritual energy in his palm sweeping out like flames, extremely fierce.

Swish!

Just as Liu Mubai's attack was about to hit Mu Chen's back, his figure trembled slightly, and Liu Mubai's attack passed through his body.

"An afterimage?"

With the attack missing, Liu Mubai's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, he used the momentum to sweep his leg backward, the wind force strong.

Bang!

A low sound came from behind, and Mu Chen, who had appeared behind Liu Mubai at some point, struck his leg with a fist enveloped in dark spiritual energy.

"Nice movement!"

Liu Mubai sneered, the fiery spiritual energy on his feet flashing, and he leaped into the air, turning around and striking Mu Chen with several punches, the wind force of the punches enveloped in fierce spiritual energy, covering Mu Chen.

Facing Liu Mubai's fierce attack, Mu Chen moved, drifting away like a ghost, with afterimages following, making it impossible to predict his movements.

"Hmm, a very mysterious movement technique." Tangshan's eyes brightened, seeing Mu Chen's movement. With his keen eyes, he could tell that Mu Chen was using a rather mysterious movement spirit technique.

Mu Feng was also surprised by Mu Chen's movement technique. This technique was unfamiliar even to him, so it must have come from the Northern Spirit Academy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Liu Mubai's attacks were fierce and relentless, while Mu Chen, using his mysterious movement technique, continuously evaded, avoiding all of Liu Mubai's powerful attacks.

The two figures in the arena pushed their speed to the limit. Strong practitioners could still follow, but students like Su Ling could only see two blurry shadows, one red and one black, flashing like whirlwinds on the stage, their faces filled with shock.

"I'll make you dodge!"

After a long chase without success, Liu Mubai's eyes turned cold. With a mental command, the spiritual energy surging from his body increased, and his speed instantly rose, catching up to Mu Chen's ghostly figure.

Swish!

Just as he caught up, Mu Chen's figure suddenly stopped. His two fingers curved, turning golden, shining brightly and emitting a powerful and fierce aura.

Mu Chen's two fingers, straight and piercing, tore through the air, heading straight for Liu Mubai's throat without hesitation.

Mu Chen's sudden shift from defense to offense surprised Liu Mubai, but it didn't make him panic. His two fingers curved, fiery spiritual energy sweeping out like flames, extremely fierce.

The golden fingers and the fiery fingers clashed, and the next moment, they struck each other heavily.

Clang!

The tips of their fingers collided like metal, producing a clear sound, sparks flying from their fingertips, visible shockwaves forming.

Mu Chen's eyes turned cold, and both his hands formed finger seals, the tips glowing like gold, activating the Spirit Emperor Finger, like two golden spears, leaving trails of finger seals, fiercely sweeping toward Liu Mubai.

Swish! Swish!

Facing Mu Chen's sudden fierce attack, Liu Mubai sneered, his four fingers curved, fiery spiritual energy enveloping them, and he struck back fiercely.

Golden light and fiery light almost enveloped their bodies.

Everyone could see the finger seals, each with astonishing killing power.

Countless people held their breath, watching the two figures on the stage, the level of their clash was something even middle-stage Spirit Wheel Realm practitioners couldn't achieve.

Clang!

Another fierce clash of finger seals, Mu Chen and Liu Mubai were both pushed back a step, and blood dripped from their fingertips, clearly indicating the damage from the clash.

Mu Chen's cold gaze remained on Liu Mubai. The latter's strength was indeed strong, and such attacks had no significant effect.

To win, this might not be enough.

Mu Chen took a deep breath, then his figure suddenly retreated, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and most shockingly, he slowly closed his eyes.

Mu Chen's strange actions immediately caused a stir, clearly confusing everyone.

"This..." Tangshan also looked at Mu Feng in confusion. Closing his eyes at this moment would surely leave him vulnerable.

Mu Feng also frowned, unsure of what Mu Chen was doing.

"Playing tricks, asking for death!"

Liu Mubai's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, taking a step forward and charging at Mu Chen. However, Mu Chen completely avoided his attacks, even with his eyes closed, he pushed his Spirit Shadow Step to the limit, creating misleading afterimages, evading Liu Mubai's attacks.

Liu Mubai didn't hold back because of Mu Chen's strange state, his attacks becoming fiercer, gradually trying to corner Mu Chen.

However, Liu Mubai, who was preparing to corner Mu Chen, didn't notice that Mu Chen's hands, hidden in his sleeves, suddenly formed several spiritual seals, which then quietly merged into the air.

In the arena, Mu Chen, who had been evading, suddenly stopped. He looked at the approaching Liu Mubai, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face. Then, he lightly brought his hands together, forming a unique seal.

On the main stage, Mr. Hao's eyes suddenly narrowed as he saw the seal Mu Chen formed.

"Is this a spirit array seal?!"
