Sky Traversing Emperor - C72
“Sword of Water Flexible!” Mu Chen’s body exploded backwards, smashing the table in front of him into pieces. At the same time, he rapidly pulled out his exquisite ancient sword. The sword’s blade was instantly infused with a water-like dragon, dissipating the oncoming attack as it retreated.
Mu Chen halted his steps and took a step forward. His sword swept out with his momentum. An extremely strong power of water condensed within his sword and surged out like the roar of a tiger.
“Fierce Tiger Roar!” Mu Chen gave a loud shout, and the gentle force from the impact instantly knocked down the people who were charging at him.
The fourth level Profound Origin Stage disciple barely managed to block the attack. Seeing that the person he brought along had been defeated in one move, the strength of this ghost axe elder’s disciple was too strong.
“What a powerful Spiritual Aura.” Wu Yunfei could clearly feel that Mu Chen’s soul was extremely powerful. It definitely didn’t look that simple. He originally looked weak, but his explosive strength definitely couldn’t be underestimated.
“…” This fellow is too powerful! ” Yu Ha said in shock.
“He is the disciple of the Old Man Ghost Axe!” “Not bad indeed.” Elder Chen said.
“Master, you know this guy’s master?” Yuhan asked.
Elder Chen nodded his head. Wu Yunfei didn’t know who Old Man Ghost Axe was, but this Mu Chen was indeed very strong. His master shouldn’t be a nobody, but Wu Yunfei rarely paid attention to the matters outside.
“You guys failed to get revenge on my master, so you came to find me instead.” Mu Chen glanced at the person who had been pushed back with a single move and showed a mocking expression. “But you’re too weak!”
The man did not say anything, but held his sword horizontally in front of him. He took a step forward, and both his arms gradually turned into a silver-white color, and became twice as thick as before, exuding a sinister intent.
“Humph, summoning your spirit soul is useless!” Mu Chen leaped up again, surrounded by countless water dragons.
The fourth level of the Profound Origin Stage martial artist’s sword was like a poisonous dragon. His sword was extremely fast as he repeatedly pointed at his opponent, but it was useless. No matter what, he couldn’t break through Mu Chen’s water dragon barrier.
“Hmph, trying to find me for revenge with such little strength.” Mu Chen sneered in disdain.
The sword swirled like a coiling dragon’s power of water, turning into a phantom image and piercing straight through his opponent’s chest, seizing his life with a single slash.
Everyone was shocked. They were all at the fourth level of the Profound Origin Stage, yet Mu Chen had crushed the culprit to death, turning this revenge into a farce.
“Brother Mu Chen is truly amazing!” Li Wen smiled.
Mu Chen snorted coldly, but a smile immediately appeared on his face. “There’s no need for that. It’s just that the food and wine that was fine was gone. It’s quite a pity.” “Haha!”
All of the tables around Mu Chen were shattered into pieces by the battle. It was a mess with wood splinters scattered all over the floor and a few people lying on the ground. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
“There’s plenty of food and wine. We can go somewhere else.” Li Wen laughed heartily. Mu Chen placed his sword on his back and followed the rest of the group out.
“Stop looking, hurry up and go back to the inn after eating your fill. The real selection is coming up in two days.” Elder Chen stretched his head out to look at Yu Ha.
“Master, that fellow is too powerful, right? Wu Yunfei?” Yu Ha said. Seeing the two of them ignoring him, Yu Ha felt helpless.
Wu Yunfei was also quite shocked in his heart. With his own strength, he could easily defeat a fourth level Nascent Profound Realm expert and several third level Profound Origin Stage cultivators. This Mu Chen was extremely powerful. Although he hadn’t clashed with Wu Yunfei in the competition for the spots, Mu Chen would definitely be a strong opponent in the Green Forest Selection. If possible, it would be best not to make an enemy out of him.
Wu Yunfei wasn’t afraid of him. If there really was a conflict with him, Wu Yunfei wouldn’t retreat.
The three of them left the restaurant. Just as they were about to step onto the last step of the stairs, a red figure rushed up and said, “All of you, move out of the way!”
“Miss, please slow down!” Wu Yunfei’s group of three were pushed to the side of the stairs.
“Damn it, what the hell is this?! He actually dared to run into this young master!” Yu Han said angrily.
Wu Yunfei didn’t care. He only felt that the woman in red looked a little familiar, as if he had met her somewhere before. However, there were people who were similar. Wu Yunfei did not think too much about it. After all, Wu Yunfei did not know many people from the start. Moreover, he had disappeared for two years and had not interacted with anyone before.
When Wu Yunfei and the other two returned to the inn, they waited quietly for the selection of the Green Forest Profound Academy two days later.
Time passed quickly. Two days later, Wu Yunfei had already made his preparations. He walked out of his room and knocked on the door of Yu Ha’s room. He heard Elder Chen’s voice from inside the room, “Come in!”
“Elder Chen!” Wu Yunfei said after he pushed the crowd aside and saw Elder Chen.
Elder Chen smiled slightly and said, “It’s still early for you. I was just about to call out to Yu Ha, I didn’t expect this kid to still be sleeping!”
“Yu Ha, get up quickly!” Elder Chen said angrily.
“Master, let me sleep a little more!” Yu Ha was extremely reluctant as he pulled on the blanket.
“Bastard, do you know what day it is today? Still sleeping! ” Elder Chen said.
Wu Yunfei replied, “Young Master Yu, if you don’t get up soon, you won’t be able to enter the Green Forest Profound Academy and learn the mystical arts from Old Cui. Then, you won’t be able to become a master of the mystical formations.”
“…” “You’re right.” As soon as he spoke of the profound formation, Yu Ha immediately became spirited. He immediately jumped up and said, “Of course, I want to become a powerful profound formation master!”
“Hur hur, you haven’t been with him for much longer. You can use him better than me. Not bad.” Elder Chen said with a smile.
Wu Yunfei only smiled faintly. When Yu Ha was ready, he and the other two then headed towards the direction of the Green Forest Valley.
The crowd had completely surrounded the valley. The area of the valley was especially lively because today was the annual Green Forest Profound Palace selection. This was a major event in the Wu Ling County.
Naturally, the Green Forest Profound Palace became the center of attention today. The great clans of the Wu Ling County all sent their disciples, who had obtained the qualifications for this year’s selection, here one by one.
Entering the Green Forest Profound Palace was a very big matter, so they personally sent their own disciples over. They also hoped that they could enter the green forest and bring honor to their clan.
He wanted to see if there were any visitors from the Wu Clan. Since two years ago, the Green Forest Profound Academy had been recruiting students from the Black Jade Town. From then on, every year, the Wu Clan would have some outstanding disciples participating in the selection.
Due to the large number of people, Wu Yunfei had not seen anyone around for a week. It was not because Wu Yunfei wanted to find the Wu Clan, but because he was concerned about the Wu Clan. Right now, he couldn’t let the people of the Wu Clan know that he was still alive.
Wu Yunfei knew that although something had happened to the Wu family, that was not the reason why they hurt him and his father. Therefore, he didn’t know what kind of feelings Wu Yunfei had for the Wu family.
When Elder Cui’s figure appeared before everyone, Wu Yunfei woke up from his thoughts. He was filled with confidence when he saw Elder Cui’s elegant demeanor. He knew that he had to enter the Green Forest Profound Palace no matter what.
After a series of pleasantries, Elder Cui finally got down to business and announced the rules for the selection.
There were two stages to this selection.
The first test was to enter the forest of spirit beasts outside the Green Wood Mystery Temple and obtain a certain number of beast seals.
This Spirit Beast Forest was located in the endless Mysterious Black Yin Mountain. In the forest in front of the entrance of the Mysterious Green Forest Academy, there were countless number of Spirit Beasts. Of course, there could also be Vicious Beasts.
The participants of the selection had to enter the forest to hunt for spirit beasts and obtain their beast imprints. The beast imprint was an imprint placed on a spirit beast by a powerful expert of the Green Forest Profound Palace.
Hunting spirit beasts allowed one to obtain imprints. In addition, the stronger the spirit beast, the more imprints it would have. Of course, he could also snatch the beast imprint from someone else.
When one reached the designated location of the second test, obtaining a hundred beast seals would be considered a success, and the time limit would be set to be before the sun set.
