The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Mu Chen quietly sat under the shadow with both his eyes closed. The jade plate in his hands emitted a faint light as his powerful Spiritual Energy wrapped around the jade plate. The light patterns on the jade plate seemed as if it was moving as there were fine changes to it. However, the changes gradually made the Spiritual Array within the jade plate to be more complete.

Mu Chen possessed extraordinary talent in the path of Spiritual Arrays. Under his Heart’s Eye State, he could grasp the ingenious Spiritual Array within the jade plate that wasn’t too complicated as he made amendments to it.

The light on the jade plate lasted for roughly ten minutes, before Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the jade plate, which was even more brilliant compared to before, as a smile hung on the corner of his lips.

“Is it done?” Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan looked over from the side.

Mu Chen nodded his head as he handed the jade plate in his hands over to Luo Li. Luo Li’s hand grasped it and used her intent. A surge of powerful Spiritual Energy swept out from her body as joy flickered in her charming eyes, “It could indeed negate the effect of the Sealing Spiritual Array to the Spiritual Energy inside the body. With this jade plate, we would be able to unleash our strength without fear.”

“Can you still make two more?” Wen Qingxuan hastily asked. The sensation of not being able to use Spiritual Energy was simply too hard to bear.

“I can, but the effect would not be that good under haste.” Mu Chen nodded.

“It’s fine, as long as I can use my Spiritual Energy, all those fellows would be considered as trash in my eyes.” Wen Qingxuan clenched her fist. Her clear voice contained a frosty chill. Clearly, she had been angered by Qin Feng’s actions earlier.

Mu Chen nodded as he smiled. Qin Feng and his group would probably not have a good time after offending Wen Qingxuan.

He made a grabbing gesture as two other jade plates appeared in his hand. Mu Chen closed his eyes as he controlled his Spiritual Energy, causing light patterns to gradually form on the jade plates.

Upon creating two other jade plates, it took him nearly half an hour before Mu Chen reopened his eyes and passed the other two jade plates over to Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan. “Time is too crucial. Under haste, these two jade plates are not as complete as the first one. However, it could allow you to use roughly seventy percent of your Spiritual Energy.”

“That’s more than enough.”

Wen Qingxuan received it as she said in a light tone, “Let’s go. We have to seize the moment and rush to the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard. When we do, leave it all to me.”

When she finished speaking, she did not wait for Mu Chen’s reply and turned around, flying into the depths of the forest. After being able to use her Spiritual Energy again, there was a difference as great as the sky and earth in her strength. Her speed was something that even Mu Chen was startled by.

Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head towards Luo Li. The two of them quickly chased after her.

Just as Mu Chen and his group were speeding towards the depths of the forest, Mo Yu, who was at the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard, looked at Qin Feng’s group, who returned with miserable appearances, in astonishment. Shortly, he furrowed his brows as he asked, “What’s going on?”

“We lost by Mu Chen’s hands.” Qin Feng said with a pale face as he wiped the blood off the corner of his lips.

“He can’t use any Spiritual Energy, how are you not his opponent?” Mo Yu questioned in astonishment.

“That fellow’s physical body is extremely powerful. Furthermore, there seemed to be something strange with it. Aside from Spiritual Energy, there was still another energy.” Qin Feng gritted his teeth as he hesitated for a brief moment before continuing, “Even my Spiritual Protection Jade Plate is in his hands.”

“What?” Liu Xiong’s face changed. The reason why they were so fearless in this region was due to the fact that they had ways to use their Spiritual Energy. Therefore, even towards Mu Chen and Wen Qingxuan, they didn't have any fear. However, Qin Feng had lost his Spiritual Protection Jade Plate? Wasn’t that their biggest reliance?

Mo Yu’s face changed as his gaze turned dark.

“What now?” Liu Xiong looked towards Mo Yu, “I’m afraid that Mu Chen’s group is rushing over right now.”

“It’s fine.” Mo Yu’s eyes flickered as he shook his head, “The Spiritual Protection Jade Plate that was in the hands of you both wasn’t complete due to the lack of time. Even if Mu Chen and his group obtained it, they could only use fifty percent of their Spiritual Energy. There’s nothing to fear.”

“Furthermore, this seal is about to break. According to Big Brother’s words, we should be able to control the Spiritual Array here. At that time, we could gather everyone’s strength. At that time, not even Mu Chen and his group could do a thing to us.”

Hearing Mo Yu’s words, only then did Liu Xiong and Qin Feng feel relieved.

“Gather everyone here.” Mo Yu instructed. Shortly after, the light disc in his hand shot forth with light ray once again, shining onto the seal of the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard, dissipating the light runes on it.

Qin Feng and Liu Xiong nodded their heads and immediately issued a hand gesture. Several figures flew from the surrounding forest one after another and gathered in the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard. It was a black patch of people with nervous and guarded gazes as they looked at the dark forest path.

This entire area instantly turned silent, only some heavy breathing could be heard.

Rustle! Rustle!

Time slowly went past and suddenly, there were fine footsteps coming from the dark forest.

Qin Feng and Liu Xiong’s expressions gathered as they looked at the dark forest. The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer. In the end, three figures walked out of the darkness and appeared on the border of the spike trees.

“Haha, what a huge formation.” Mu Chen smiled as he looked at the amount of people.

Beside him, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan were looking over with chilled gazes.

“Mu Chen, don’t be too complacent. You really think that you can defeat all of us just because you obtained the Spiritual Protection Jade Plate?” Qin Feng viciousy looked at Mu Chen as he continued, “My Spiritual Protection Jade Plate only allows you to use fifty percent of your Spiritual Energy. Based on your strength as Human Body Disaster, do you think that you can deal with all of us?”

“So it was called the Spiritual Protection Jade Plate. The person that created this thing for the three of you is pretty capable.” Mu Chen smiled. Thereafter, he made a step forward under the guarded gazes of the other group. A mockery smile was lifted on the corner of his lips as he made a grasping gesture with his hand. The boundless Spiritual Energy was like tornado as it swept out.

“I think you’re wrong. This Spiritual Protection Jade Plate could allow me to utilize all my Spiritual Energy.”

Qin Feng and Liu Xiong’s faces drastically changed at this point in time. They looked at the Spiritual Energy around Mu Chen in disbelief.

“Impossible!” Qin Feng exclaimed. The Spiritual Protection Jade Plate was originally his, so he naturally knew how effective it was. It was not a complete Spiritual Array so it would not allow anyone to use a hundred percent of their Spiritual Energy.

“How is it impossible? I amended this Spiritual Protection Jade Plate a little.” Mu Chen smiled as he continued, “I even created two of them in a short time.”

As he finished speaking, Spiritual Energy ripples swept out from Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, causing a whistling of wind in the air.

Qin Feng and Liu Xiong’s expressions instantly turned paled as their eyes were filled with fear. They could not imagine that Mu Chen not only amended one Spiritual Protection Jade Plate, he had also create two more in such a short time. If that was the case, didn't that mean that Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan had recovered a portion of their strength?

“I have to thank you for giving us your Spiritual Protection Jade Plate. Otherwise, I would have no ways.” Mu Chen smiled towards Qin Feng. Seeing his smile, the latter felt sweetness in his throat, since he had the urge to vomit blood.

Up ahead of them, the Academy Alliance army could not help retreating with their faces paled from the pressure of the powerful Spiritual Energy. Their fighting spirit from before was thoroughly wiped as they understood that it was impossible to obstruct Mu Chen’s group of three that had regained their Spiritual Energy.

“It seems like your attainments in the ways of Spiritual Array is pretty high.”

A cold voice resounded as Mo Yu slowly turned around. His expression was cold as he looked at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen looked at the Second Leader of the Academy Alliance as he smiled, “There should be someone that has high attainments in the ways of Spiritual Arrays, right? I suppose that is the mysterious Head Leader? He isn’t here?”

“If Big Brother is here, how could you be so arrogant?” Qin Feng said, grinding his teeth.

“It’s not easy to meet such an outstanding Spiritual Array Master, so I wanted to get to know him.” Mu Chen said with indifference.

“There will be chance for you to do that. Except that your outcome might not be too good.” Mo Yu’s tone was similarly indifferent.

“I’m looking forward to that.” Mu Chen smiled as he continued, “However, it should be your outcome that isn’t too good right now.”

“Mu Chen, if you take your group and leave now, the grudges between you and the Academy Alliance will be erased. In the future, we would not cause any trouble to you as well. In this place, it’s better to have a friend rather than an enemy, how about it?” Mo Yu said slowly.

“Too late.”

Mu Chen lightly sighed.

“Hmph, to refuse goodwill and have to be forced.” Liu Xiong coldly snorted, “Do you really think that you can deal with all of us with just the three of you? Isn’t your appetite a little too big?”

“You’re wrong.”

An indifferent voice resounded, it was not from Mu Chen. Wen Qingxuan slowly walked up with a cold expression. The black robe that she wore over her had already been removed at this instant, revealing her golden battle armour. The battle armour outlined her figure as she tightly grasped her warspear. The speartip gradually lifted up and was pointed towards the other party. Her cold and prideful voice resounded m in this area.

“Just me alone would be enough to deal with all of you!”

When she finished speaking, brilliant golden light swept out from her body. The brilliance of the golden light vaguely formed a golden phoenix behind her. An honorable and aloft aura was being emitted from it.

The numero uno of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was finally going to act.
