Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Turbulence

"Who is this?"

Looking at the portrait of the woman, Mo Wangchen was slightly stunned. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with this woman.

Moreover, the woman’s appearance bore a resemblance to himself!

"Could it be my mother?!"

A shock went through Mo Wangchen’s heart as he considered this possibility.

In truth, Mo Wangchen knew absolutely nothing about his mother, not even her name, which he had never heard from his father.

With this puzzling thought in mind, Mo Wangchen opened the letter and read it carefully.

Indeed, the letter was written by his father to him.

In the letter, Mo Xiaotian mentioned that he knew about the life-death battle between Mo Wangchen and Jun Muqing. Although he wanted to stop it, he was powerless to do so.

Moreover, Mo Xiaotian also stated in the letter that he would come to Yun Chu Academy on the day of the decisive battle to witness this life-death fight!

"You’ve grown up, and there are many things I’ve never told you. The woman in the portrait is your mother, and the Luminous Pearl was left for you by your mother before she left; she is not from Yun Country, not even from this ten-direction domain. Regarding the identity of your mother, I will tell you personally when I arrive in Yunge City..."

"So it really is my mother..."

After reading the words in the letter, Mo Wangchen murmured to himself, "So my mother’s name is Lin Mengyao."

"Ever since I reached the age of awareness, there’s been no memory of my mother in my mind. She must have left the Mo Family when I was just born. But where did my mother go? Who is she, and why do I feel something strange about the letter sent by my father..."

Mo Wangchen frowned, his subconscious telling him that his mother, Lin Mengyao, was certainly no ordinary person!

"Let’s not worry about it for now. Since my father is coming, everything will become clear then. What is most crucial now is to strive to improve my own strength. In the life-death battle ten days from now, I must slay Jun Muqing!"

If he lost in ten days, it would mean death, and by then, all would be vain. Therefore, before the day of the decisive battle arrived, Mo Wangchen must do his utmost to enhance his cultivation.

"Whew!"

Saying this, he stood up from where he was, took a deep breath, and then Mo Wangchen’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint. The next moment, the strength of the fourth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm burst forth with a roar.

"Let’s test the power of the Hidden Dragon Undying Body first!"

He walked under the big tree, where there was a massive stone placed in front. This stone was a piece of moissanite, one of the hardest stones.

Buzz!

The flow of qi within his body moved, his Spirit Sea released, and Spiritual Power surged over his entire body. Then, Mo Wangchen quietly began to operate the spell of the Hidden Dragon Undying Body. At the same time, a faint layer of Golden Radiance enveloped him in a barely noticeable haze.

Boom!

With a sudden punch, he struck the moissanite in front of him. The next moment, the moissanite exploded into powder.

"Such tremendous power!"

Mo Wangchen’s eyes brightened. He was well aware of the hardness of moissanite. If he didn’t use the Hidden Dragon Undying Body, even if he used the Xuanlong Palm with all his might, he could at most only crack the moissanite, not completely shatter it as he had just done!

"This punch must have reached the Hundred Bull Power already, right?"

The power of Hundred Bull, that’s equivalent to a high-level expert of the Spirit Transformation Realm sixth layer, the kind of strength they can exert!

Keep in mind, right now, Mo Wangchen’s Hidden Dragon Undying Body hasn’t even completely mastered the first layer, yet he’s able to exert the power of Hundred Bull. It’s really unimaginable how powerful he will become once he has completely mastered the first layer?

"In ten days, the battle between Jun Muqing and I is bound to end with one of us falling. By then, whether it’s the Royal Family or the Alchemist Alliance, it’s likely that they will intervene in the matter. Yun Country is about to face a turmoil..."

...

Inside the Academy, as the day of the decisive battle drew near, in both the Inner Court and the Outer Court, discussions among the disciples could always be heard.

However, in these discussions, it was clear that everyone was not optimistic about Mo Wangchen, considering that he had only joined Yun Chu Academy this year and had only just entered the Inner Court less than a month ago.

No matter how exceptional his talent might be, it was impossible for him, in the short span of a month, to have any assurance of defeating Jun Muqing.

After all, Jun Muqing enjoys the reputation of being the foremost talent under the age of twenty in Yun Country. This acknowledgement of her talent and strength is not something that anyone could easily surpass.

It wasn’t just Yun Chu Academy; ever since the Empress Yun’s birthday celebration ended, those powerhouses from various factions who had come to participate in the banquet did not leave Yunge City, but instead stayed here waiting, waiting for the day of the decisive battle.

After all, this clash would be critical to the shifting power dynamics of the entire Yun Country. Whether it be the Royal Family or the Alchemist Alliance, with their influence, once a conflict truly arises between them, it would likely trigger a massive upheaval in the whole of Yun Country.

As the day of the decisive battle got ever closer, figures from other places in Yun Country, too, had long since heard the news and rushed over just to witness this clash that could change the power structure of Yun Country.

...

Ten days later, outside the yard where Mo Wangchen resided, Zhang Hao arrived.

"What rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy!"

Just as he was about to knock on the door, Zhang Hao’s eyes lit up. He sensed that the air around him contained Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power that was much more abundant than in other places.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Inside the courtyard, with several muffled explosions, Zhang Hao felt a powerful aura rushing towards him the next moment; however, this feeling only lasted for an instant, even making him wonder if it was just an illusion.

But Zhang Hao was very clear, it was no illusion!

"Come in..."

As the abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy around him began to gradually disperse, Mo Wangchen’s faint voice came from inside the yard.

Zhang Hao pushed the door and entered, only to see Mo Wangchen sitting cross-legged under a big tree, looking up at him with a gaze harboring an unrivaled, startling sharpness that made Zhang Hao involuntarily shiver.

"Did you make a breakthrough?"

He walked forward and asked.

Mo Wangchen shook his head, then stood up from the ground, "My cultivation didn’t break through. However, the Hidden Dragon Undying Body has just successfully reached the first layer — the Body Tempering Realm."

Currently, Mo Wangchen’s cultivation was still at the fourth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. During these ten days, he had not focused much on cultivating his cultivation level but instead had spent most of his time cultivating the Hidden Dragon Undying Heaven.

Fortunately, by the time the day of the decisive battle arrived, he had finally entered the first layer of the Body Tempering Realm!
