Chapter 165: Chapter 165: The Final Battle Arrives!

After hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Zhang Hao nodded.

In fact, he was not clear about the level of Mo Wangchen’s cultivation, how deep into the Spirit Transformation Realm he had reached. He only assumed Mo Wangchen had achieved a breakthrough because of the fluctuations of spiritual power that had just occurred here.

As for the matter of the Hidden Dragon Undying Body, Zhang Hao had heard something about it from Mo Wangchen himself when he had visited a few days earlier.

But Zhang Hao only knew that Mo Wangchen was practicing a body-refining martial technique called the Hidden Dragon Undying Body. He was unclear about the extent of its power.

However, in Zhang Hao’s opinion, any martial technique Mo Wangchen chose to practice must be remarkable. It was probably at least of the Xuan Rank.

"Many people have gathered inside the Academy by now, all are strong figures from all over Yun Country. Today is the day of your decisive battle with Jun Muqing..."

On his way here, Zhang Hao had already seen many figures gathering around the Life and Death Platform. Today’s Yun Chu Academy was exceptionally lively, with people from various forces of Yun Country, most having entered this place.

Mo Wangchen nodded, falling silent for a moment before speaking, "After today, I’m afraid many things will happen. You are now at the fourth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. With your talent, in at most two or three years, you can also reach the Returning Ruins Realm. By then, within Yun Country, you will have a solid footing..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn’t help but frown slightly, feeling that there seemed to be another meaning in Mo Wangchen’s words.

Seeing the confusion on his face, Mo Wangchen smiled and said, "I cannot possibly lose this battle. Jun Muqing will surely be slain by me. But the Yun Country Royal Family will likely not let this happen without interfering—once the conflict arises, Yun Country will no longer be a place for me!"

"Are you saying the Royal Family would intervene in plain sight?" Zhang Hao frowned.

"Of course!" Mo Wangchen nodded without hesitation. "Jun Muqing is now the Crown Princess Consort. If she were to be slain by me, where would the Royal Family’s honor be?"

A grave look appeared on Zhang Hao’s face, "The Royal Family has a legacy of nearly a thousand years; its foundation is not weak. If they truly intervene..."

"Heh, we’ll see when the time comes. Tiannan is vast. Besides Yun Country, I don’t believe there’s nowhere else for Mo Wangchen to find refuge. It’s just with the Mo Family..."

Speaking up to this point, Mo Wangchen’s face also showed a serious expression. If it was just himself, it would be fine, but once a conflict erupted, it would inevitably involve the Mo Family.

Thankfully, he was acquainted with Elder Ling, and with an enormous entity like the Alchemist Alliance, taking care of the Mo Family might not be too big a problem.

"Let’s go. It’s time to make an appearance..."

Saying this, Mo Wangchen walked ahead, stepping towards the direction of the Life and Death Platform.

...

Today, the pathways of Yun Chu Academy were unusually quiet, for everyone had already gone to the location of the Life and Death Platform.

It was now nearing noon, the Bright Sun was high in the sky, sunlight bathed the earth, and the heat rose in waves. However, at the moment, Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao walking on the path to the Life and Death Platform were somewhat cooled by the lush greenery and occasional breeze on either side. Yet compared to the heat in their hearts, this coolness seemed insignificant...

Months ago, when Jun Muqing came to the Mo Family to call off the engagement, Mo Wangchen was subjected to the cold stares of his clan members. But he showed everyone through his actions that he was not a waste and even surpassed most of them, earning the qualifications to enter Yun Chu Academy!

Having joined Yun Chu Academy, in just a little over two months, Mo Wangchen reached the Spirit Transformation Realm level, passed the examination, and successfully joined the Inner Court. Today, he finally faced off against Jun Muqing!

This confrontation was different from the past, for defeat meant death!

From the outside looking in, this clash didn’t seem to hold much appeal, because nearly everyone believed that Mo Wangchen stood no chance against Jun Muqing.

What they wanted to see was how the Royal Family and the Alchemist Alliance would react to this fight.

...

At the end of a secluded path lay a vast square, the site of the Life and Death Platform.

Now, the square was crowded with a sea of people, approaching ten thousand in number—with not only disciples from Yun Chu Academy but also powerhouses from the forces of various regions of Yun Country.

Amidst the crowd stood an ancient-looking arena, paved with blue bricks that seemed untouched by time due to their long disuse.

And by the side of the Life and Death Platform stood a stone stele, upon which were carved several names.

Those were the names of those who had once ascended the Life and Death Platform!

Winners had their names left untouched, whereas the names of the defeated bore a scratch, marking the demise of those individuals!

Two freshly carved names lay beneath those meager few—Mo Wangchen and Jun Muqing!

Judging from the marks, these names had clearly been engraved not long ago, and after today’s decisive battle, one of them would also bear a mark of death.

At the very front of the square were several figures in white robes, sitting cross-legged. These were the elders of the Inner Court of Yun Chu Academy, each radiating an aura that demanded respect.

Now, not far from these elders sat Jun Muqing, alone, in meditation, steadying her breath and preparing her state of mind.

Around the four sides of the Life and Death Platform, the surrounding crowd seemed a bit noisy, all engaged in discussion.

Some Family Heads of major powerhouses stood around the square, atop the lush green treetops. The Spiritual Power within their bodies allowed them to stand as light as feathers, stable upon the treetops.

At a certain moment, when the Bright Sun had reached its zenith, the scorching sunlight made the crowd even more agitated.

They had already arrived here, but now as the time for the showdown had come, Jun Muqing had already appeared, yet there was still no sign of Mo Wangchen.

"What’s going on? It’s already noon, why hasn’t Mo Wangchen arrived yet?"

"Could he be too scared to fight? That’s impossible, right?"

"At the Empress Yun’s birthday feast, even though Mo Wangchen’s presence wasn’t imposing, he managed to maintain such composure in front of Emperor Yun and Empress Yun, without showing any change of expression—an indicator of extraordinary temperament. How could such a person be afraid to fight?"

Amidst everyone’s commentary, they suddenly saw Jun Muqing, who had been sitting still all this while, slowly open her eyes. She shifted her gaze slightly, looking towards a certain direction of the square.

This action triggered a chain reaction, as everyone instinctively followed her gaze.

Then they saw two figures, slowly stepping forward.

Leading was Mo Wangchen in white robes, with Zhang Hao trailing half a step behind, a sword hanging at his waist. Both of them appeared calm and unhurried as they walked into the square.
