The Great Ruler: Reborn as Mu Chen, sweeping across the vast world!

The light screen on the battle platform rippled like water.

Wen Qingxuan stood in the center of the battle platform, her long hair tied in a high ponytail, revealing her slender and fair neck. When she slightly raised her chin, her innate pride flowed from her eyes and brows.

She stood with her arms crossed, her gaze fixed on Mu Chen, a look of keen interest flashing in her eyes.

"Wen Qingxuan from the Myriad Phoenix Continent." She announced her name, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "I know I'm not that much different from Wu Ling. If you can suppress him with one hand, you can probably do the same to me."

She paused, then her smile grew even brighter: "But I don't want to admit defeat. I want to experience for myself just how strong you really are!"

"I hope you won't hold back!"

"Alright, as you wish." Mu Chen smiled.

The moment the battle platforms clashed, Wen Qingxuan moved.

Mu Chen raised his hand and flicked his finger.

"call out--"

A powerful gust of wind, condensed to its extreme, burst forth with a piercing whistle and instantly struck Wen Qingxuan's Tanzhong acupoint on her chest!

"puff."

With a soft sound, Wen Qingxuan trembled violently.

She felt a sharp burst of energy penetrate her body, exploding through her limbs and bones, instantly disintegrating the strength she had gathered.

"Well……"

Wen Qingxuan let out a muffled groan, her whole body stiffening on the spot, every muscle in her body trembling uncontrollably.

As his blood and qi surged, his legs went weak.

She knelt on one knee, bracing herself against the battle platform with her right hand to avoid collapsing completely. Fine beads of cold sweat trickled down her forehead, and she couldn't muster any strength for a short time.

"You flatter me," came Mu Chen's voice.

"...I lost." Wen Qingxuan raised her head with difficulty, her voice still clear, but her eyes held a hint of complexity.

Proud as she was, she never imagined she would be defeated so decisively, so utterly powerless.

I told you not to hold back, and you really didn't!

"What level of spirit are you?" she couldn't help but ask.

Mu Chen smiled but did not answer.

Without stopping, he moved his mind again, and the patterns on the battle platform beneath his feet lit up, with invisible fluctuations crossing space and locking onto the next battle platform.

Battlegrounds were connected one after another, and battles began and ended one after another.

Mu Chen was like a tireless hunter, moving freely across the chessboard of the Battle Realm.

His challenges are completely random and not targeted at anyone in particular; in other words, they are targeted at everyone except Luo Li!

If even a level four spirit couldn't withstand a single move from him, a level three spirit would naturally be even less able to withstand it.

The three-day deadline has passed.

All the battle platforms in the battle realm trembled simultaneously, and their surface patterns shone with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

The rays of light shot up from every battle platform, converging at the top of the battle arena and transforming into a vast sea of ​​light.

The sea of ​​light slowly rotated, gradually revealing a huge light curtain.

On the light screen, one hundred names were arranged from top to bottom, with a beam of light following each name.

The beams of light varied in length, representing the amount of spiritual energy in the battle realm.

The first place is unsurprising.

Mu Chen.

The pillar of light behind his name was more than five times taller than the second-place winner, standing like a colossal pillar at the very top of the light screen, radiating a suffocating pressure.

Second place: Luo Li.

Third place: Wen Qingxuan.

Fourth place: Wu Ling.

……

The names and pillars of light solidified, announcing the final outcome of the three-day battle for supremacy.

One hundred battle platforms remained silent.

All eyes, whether filled with awe, resentment, or complex emotions, converged on the name that stood at the top of the list, a pillar of light reaching the sky.

Mu Chen's name is like a brand, deeply engraved in the hearts of every surviving trial participant.

Above the sky, the Holy Spirit Dean's indifferent and majestic voice rang out once more, echoing throughout the entire battle realm.

"The battle for supremacy has come to an end."

"The top twenty in the 'Spiritual Illumination' will be crowned champions!"

hum-

The moment the words fell, twenty dazzling beams of light split off from the sea of ​​light, enveloping the twenty battle platforms below.

The next moment, all twenty beams of light converged inwards simultaneously.

A vast, circular white jade battle platform appeared, connected to twenty other battle platforms.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the very center of the battle platform.

There, suspended in mid-air, was a crown.

The crown has a warm and translucent glass-like color, resembling neither jade nor gold.

Strands of milky-white spiritual light cascaded down from the crown, like jewels, swaying gently and causing the surrounding spiritual energy to fluctuate accordingly.

Lingguan!

According to the past rules of the Spirit Road, at this moment, these twenty chosen ones standing on the final battle stage will engage in the final and most intense "Battle of the Kings" to determine the ultimate owner of the Spirit Crown.

The air on the battle platform suddenly tensed, and just as the tense atmosphere reached its peak—

despair.

Mu Chen strode forward, heading straight for the Spirit Crown.

Ignore everyone else and go straight for the spirit crown?!

How dare he?!

Even though he has the highest score and unfathomable strength, this is the final battleground. Besides Luo Li, there are eighteen other people here!

Although that's what I thought, but...

No one dared to move!

No one dared to speak out!

Because Luo Li, who came in second place, was also watching them!

As Mu Chen drew closer to the Spirit Crown, the tense atmosphere on the battle stage began to undergo a strange change.

Even their breathing unconsciously became softer.

Eighteen proud and arrogant young talents from various continents could only watch helplessly as the figure in black was bathed in the milky white light emanating from the spirit crown.

Mu Chen stopped in front of the Spirit Crown and took it without hesitation!

Standing here now is Mu Chen, the Spirit Crown!

"The one who will receive the Spirit Crown has been chosen, so let's begin the next phase."

Dean Holy Spirit's voice echoed across the battlefield, though a faint shadow lingered deep within his indifferent eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if he had his own schemes, he had to follow the rules of the Spiritual Path since ancient times.

However, if Mu Chen could come to the Holy Spirit Academy, Ji Xuan's matter could be put on hold, and he might even focus on cultivating him...

He stood atop a golden throne, his white hair moving without wind, and with a gentle wave of his wide sleeves, he faced the vast final battle arena below.

"Buzz—"

The entire battle realm trembled.

The spiritual energy transformed into a sea, hanging suspended in the sky!

They appeared out of nowhere, silently suspended in the high sky, stretching for an unknown distance, flowing slowly, and emitting a magnificent wave that makes one's heart tremble!

The pressure emanating from it alone caused everyone on the battle platform below, except for Mu Chen, to catch their breath.

This is the gift prepared by the five academies in collaboration with unimaginable resources and methods for the final trial participants of the Spiritual Path in previous years—the Spiritual Path Initiation!

The key point is to improve cultivation without any side effects!

"Next," Dean Holy Spirit's gaze swept across the battle platform below, pausing slightly on Mu Chen, his voice booming, "Please take out the Crimson Token, draw in spiritual power, and activate the Spiritual Path Initiation!"

"The duration and effect of the empowerment depend on the number of tokens one possesses. The more tokens one has, the greater the spiritual energy received, the longer the duration, and the stronger the foundation built! The higher the cultivation level will be!"

"Remember, act within your means; excessive greed will only harm you!"
