115. Mu Chen vs Lan Ruofeng (1)

Although Ye Shi didn't want to pay attention to Ye Rong's words, Ye Shi had been Ye Xun's son for so many years, thus he had a connection with Ye Xun after all. So even though he was reluctant, Ye Shi returned to his courtyard and found Ye Xun's letter from the piles of letters.

Ye Shi opened the letter. The more he read, the dumbfounded his face became.

Ye Xun probably didn't know yet, but Ye Shi already knew about his real father. So he still used the bossy tone when he wrote to Ye Shi.

In the letter, Ye Xun asked Ye Shi to transfer one million elementary stones , and asked Ye Shi to take good care of Ye Rong and give Ye Rong thousands of elementary stones and dozens of Flame Talismans, and Ye Shi should find a master Shifu for Ye Rong.

Ye Xun also scolded Ye Shi for being unfilial in the letter, saying that Mu Chen gave Mu Yuanfeng pills and elementary stones, but he got nothing.

After reading the letter, Ye Shi sneered and tore the letter into pieces. What a joke! Who is Mu Yuanfeng? Who is Ye Xun? Ye Xun, this shameless thing, actually has the face to compare with Mu Yuanfeng.

Although Ye Xun was bad to Ye Shi, he was very concerned about his daughter.

Ye Shi gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of ridicule. What made them think that he would help Ye Rong, give her money and Flame Talisman? Ye Shi had been forgiving that he did not take revenge on Ye Rong for what she did in childhood. Ye Xun was greedy.\

Ye Shi sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the safe box. Mu Chen only took the soul condensing water. Mu Chen gave the formula of Bone Refinement Pill to him after a quick scan.

Ye Shi was holding the safe box, thinking something else.

In fact, Ye Shi was testing Mu Chen when he chose to tell Mu Chen about the safe box.

If Mu Chen was really not sincere to him, then Mu Chen might take everything. But, obviously, Mu Chen was not such a person. How could a four-grade pill not be effective for Mu Chen?

Mu Chen left the pill to him on purpose.

Ye Shi leaned against the wall with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

No matter how Ye Xun treated him, Mu Chen was always sincere to him.

............

As soon as Ye Shi left, Mu Chen merged with the Soul Condensing Water.

Soul Condensing Water increased Mu Chen's soul power to more than twice the original level, and at the same time raised Mu Chen's cultivation to the realm of a nine-star martial art master.

When Mu Chen opened his eyes, he immediately felt refreshed.

Soul Condensing Water, Bone Refining Pill were supposed to belong to Lan Ruofeng in the original story. No wonder Lan Ruofeng would become a "genius."

Although everything was going well so far, Mu Chen shouldn't feel relieved.

After all, Lan Ruofeng was not as dazzling as he used to be, but Zhuang Yu's other admirers were not easy. Lu Yao might show up at any time.

Mu Chen walked out of the room. After his soul power increased, Mu Chen's hearing and eyesight also improved, and his insight was much sharper than before.

Mu Chen walked towards the Treasure Pavilion in the academy. Mu Chen promised Ye Shi that he would refine the body refining liquid for him, but he was short of materials.

 

............

 

"Mu Chen." Lan Ruofeng was walking back to the academy when he happened to meet Mu Chen who was going out, and the two ran into each other.

"Lan Ruofeng!" Mu Chen crossed his arms and looked at Lan Ruofeng lightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"You are promoted to a nine-star martial art master?" Lan Ruofeng looked at Mu Chen with surprise.

"Yes! Your strength hasn't improved much, but your eyesight is good!" Mu Chen tilted his head and said.

When Lan Ruofeng heard Mu Chen's words, his face blushed.

Lan Ruofeng squinted. Right after Ye Shi took something out from Mingyue Trading Company,  Mu Chen was promoted to a nine-star martial art master. There must be a reason.

Why is this happening? If Ye Shi likes me, then everything that belongs to Mu Chen is mine. Subconsciously, Lan Ruofeng always thought that Ye Shi should like him, but the fact was that Ye Shi was not interested in him at all.

"Lan Ruofeng, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time, but I've kept it. And now I can't help but say it. Please, stay away from Ye Shi. He's my fiancee, you know? I am annoyed that you are pestering my fiancée!" Mu Chen said helplessly.

"What I want to do has nothing to do with you." Lan Ruofeng frowned and said disapprovingly.

"Ye Shi is my fiancee. His business is related to me." Mu Chen said with a gloomy face.

"Mu Chen, are you sure that you have no other intentions for Ye Shi? You don't like him at all. You are just taking advantage of him." Lan Ruofeng said coldly.

Mu Chen took a deep breath, looked at the person with a half-smile, and said, "Lan Ruofeng, just because you are shit, it doesn't meant that everyone is. I like Ye Shi wholeheartedly."

"Mu Chen, don't make yourself so noble. Dare you say that you have never benefited from Ye Shi?" Lan Ruofeng couldn't help but said jealously.

Mu Chen shrugged and said, "I have. So what?"

"To put it bluntly, you are using Ye Shi." Lan Ruofeng smiled proudly, as if seeing through Mu Chen.

Mu Chen rolled his eyes helplessly. Lan Ruofeng was such a silly man who couldn't understand what he said at all.

"What about you? Why are you approaching stone? Do you like Stone for who he is?" Mu Chen rolled his eyes and said.

Lan Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, and said, "Yes."

Mu Chen laughed silently. Lan Ruofeng actually admitted that he liked Ye Shi. Shame on him!

"You must be joking me. If you like Ye Shi, what about Zhuang Yu?" Mu Chen asked.

"Zhuang Yu is different from Ye Shi." Lan Ruofeng said.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes. Of course they were different. Zhuang Yu was Lan Ruofeng's true love, but Ye Shi was Lan Ruofeng's tool to improve.

"I know very well what you are up to. You hired the two men in black to attack us outside the academy, right? They died and were burnt into ashes! Did you go and see them? They died for you! What a tragic end of life! However, they messed with me. They asked for death." Mu Chen said coolly.

 

 

116. Mu Chen vs Lan Ruofeng (2)

"I don't understand what man in black you said." Lan Ruofeng said with a sullen face.

Mu Chen shrugged and said, "Lan Ruofeng, you can see that, Stone is not interested in you. It is meaningless to harass him over and over again."

"You have so much time to disturb Stone. You might as well spend more time on Zhuang Yu. After all, he is the person you like. Stone is just a tool man that can help you succeed. But I think you also know that, it's impossible if you want to rely on Stone as long as I am with him."

Lan Ruofeng looked at Mu Chen, his face turned pale.

"You told me this because you were afraid that I would be a threat to you, right?" Lan Ruofeng asked suddenly.

Mu Chen laughed and said, "Threat? Lan Ruofeng, you are looking too high on yourself. I did this not because I was afraid of you, but because I just couldn't stand you. You are disgusting."

Lan Ruofeng clenched his fists tightly, "Mu Chen, don't go too far. You say I'm disgusting. What about you? I will expose your disguise in front of Ye Shi in the future."

"You thought Stone would believe what a rubbish say." Mu Chen snorted coldly and walked away.

Lan Ruofeng looked at Mu Chen's back, his eyes were full of evil.

 

............

As soon as Ye Shi walked out of the house, he saw Ye Rong.

"Why are you here again?" Ye Shi said with disgust.

Ye Rong gritted her teeth, held a sullen breath, and said, "Did you read father's letter?"

Ye Shi nodded and said, "I did."

"Father asked you to take good care of me, and asked you to transfer one million elementary stones to me." Ye Rong said.

Ye Shi rolled his eyes, interrupted Ye Rong, and said, "Enough, you don't need to say it. Ye Rong, you don't really think I'll listen to Ye Xun's bullshit do you?"

Ye Rong frowned and said, "Ye Shi, do you know how difficult the family is living now? You are so rich. It is no big deal to help the family?"

Ye Shi said in disapproval, "I don't know how difficult the family is! If it is difficult, I will be happier. The more difficult it is, the happier I will be. No matter how much money I have, it has nothing to do with Ye Xun. I won't give him a single elementary stone."

Ye Rong gritted her teeth and looked at Ye Shi, "Ye Shi, you ungrateful thing. Have you forgotten who raised you up?"

Ye Shi looked at Ye Rong coldly, and said, "What my daddy left for the Ye family is enough for anyone to raise me up."

Ye Rong looked at Ye Shi with a long face and said, "Ye Shi, you are simply unreasonable."

"Yes, I'm just unreasonable, and I don't need your reasoning, so get out of here." Ye Shi said aggressively.

Ye Rong looked at Ye Shi, gritted her teeth, and walked away.

Ye Shi looked at Ye Rong's back and felt relieved.

"Ye Rong is gone!" Cheng Wanbai walked out and said.

Ye Shi looked at Cheng Wanbai coldly, and said, "You heard it all."

Cheng Wanbai smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I just asked you for something."

Ye Shi tilted his head and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

"Well, I want to buy Flame Talisman. Can I get a discount?" Cheng Wanbai smiled awkwardly.

Ye Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you talk to Mu Chen, but me?"

Cheng Wanbai smiled and said, "I heard that Mu Chen listens to you."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "You're right. Mu Chen listens to me. How much are you going to pay to buy the talisman?"

"I only have 400,000. If it's not enough, say a number. I'm... trying to figure out a way." Cheng Wanbai hesitated and said.

"400,000 it is." Ye Shi said without hesitation.

Cheng Wanbai was full of surprises and said, "400,000 will do?" Although the enthusiasm for the Fire Talisman from the outside world had gradually cooled down, buying a Fire Talisman for 400,000 elementary stones was definitely cheap.

The two quickly completed the business.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye Shi." Cheng Wanbai said gratefully. Cheng Wanbai just gave it a try with one percent hope, but he didn't expect things to go smoothly.

Ye Shi said coolly, "No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, just stay away from Mu Chen."

Cheng Wanbai: "..."

Xie Danyan watched Cheng Wanbai come down from the stone steps, and quickly stepped forward and said, "How's it going? Did he disagree? Wanbai, Ye Shi is notoriously stingy. Don't worry. Since he is not an option, we can think of other ways."

"I bought it." Cheng Wanbai smiled at Xie Danyan and said.

Xie Danyan was stunned for a moment, then she said in surprise, "What did you say? You bought it?"

Cheng Wanbai nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xie Danyan blinked and said in confusion, "When did Ye Shi get so easy-going?"

Cheng Wanbai shrugged and said, "I didn't expect him to be so easy-going."

 

 

117. Eight-level qualification

As soon as Mu Chen stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, the eyes of many people in the pavilion fell on Mu Chen.
With the continuous hot sale of the Fire Talisman, Mu Chen's reputation had also grown. Facing so many jealous, admiring, and envious gazes, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Yan Wu happened to be in the Treasure Pavilion. When he saw Mu Chen entering the building, he couldn't help but glance at Mu Chen. With just one glance, Yan Wu's expression suddenly changed, "You...you...you are promoted to the nine-star martial art master."

Mu Chen nodded, smiled, and said, "I am lucky."

Yan Wu said in disapproval, "You deserve it."

Mu Chen lowered his head and smiled, but did not reply.

Yan Wu looked at Mu Chen, and something strange flashed in his eyes. Mu Chen learned alchemy, talisman, and inscriptions. Many people were guessing that he was too greedy to achieve nothing in the future. .

However, the fact was that even though Mu Chen had learned so many martial arts, his strength was still very good, and even better than two geniuses with eighth-level qualifications among the freshmen.

Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi were just five-star martial art masters. How did this freak cultivate? After studying so many different things, it didn't slow down his cultivation progress at all.

Yan Wu looked at Mu Chen and suddenly said, "Mu Chen, are you sure you have a sixth-level qualification?"

"This is the result of the test." Mu Chen smiled lightly.

Yan Wu shook his head and said, "No, no, no. There is definitely something wrong with your qualification test. Let's test it again."

Mu Chen frowned and said, "Senior, this is not appropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate? There must be something wrong with your qualifications." Yan Wu grabbed Mu Chen's hand and dragged him forward.

Song Xinyue watched Mu Chen being pulled away by Yan Wu, rolled her eyes helplessly, and said angrily,"Master Yan is absurd. The college's qualification test has never gone wrong. No matter how good Mu Chen is, he is a sixth-level qualification, which is something that cannot be changed."

Xin Ruge said disapprovingly, "That's not necessarily true. Mu Chen's current performance doesn't look like a person with sixth-level aptitude at all."

Song Xinyue curled her lips and said, "No matter how different he is, he is still a person with sixth-level qualifications."

"Although there was no mistake in the academy's aptitude test, it doesn't mean that there is no mistake now. I think there may be a real problem with Mu Chen's aptitude." Xin Ruge said half-jokingly.

Song Xinyue rolled her eyes and said, "You are really imaginative."

"I'm not alone. So is Master Yan, isn't it?" Xin Ruge tilted her head and glanced at Song Xinyue.

"Senior, let's forget it." Mu Chen frowned.

"No." Yan Wu insisted and shook his head.

"Pingshan, I asked you to get a qualification tester. What took you so long?" Yan Wu said angrily.

Hearing Yan Wu's words, the shop owner Pingshan smiled awkwardly and said, "Coming through."

After a while, a qualification tester was taken out.

"You go up and test." Yan Wu said with a frown.

"Senior, I have already tested it." Mu Chen said with some resistance.

"That doesn't count." Yan Wu said with disapproval.

"But..." Mu Chen frowned hesitantly.

Yan Wu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Enough. The tester is here. Just test it. Don't talk nonsense."

Mu Chen smiled awkwardly, stepped forward, and put his hand on the tester. Suddenly, an eight-color halo rose into the sky, and the bright eight-color halo dazzled everyone's eyes.

"It's impossible." Song Xinyue said in disbelief.

Xin Ruge's eyes widened, her eyes filled with disbelief, "How could this happen?" Mu Chen actually had an eighth-level qualification, but it made more sense that Mu Chen was an eighth-level qualification.

Yan Wu looked at Mu Chen and murmured, "I know, I know."

Mu Chen withdrew his hand lightly.

"Your first test said you have a sixth-level qualification?" Yan Wu looked at Mu Chen suspiciously.

"I just finished the promotion that day, but there was a little mistake in the promotion, maybe my physical condition is not stable." Mu Chen smiled awkwardly.

Yan Wu nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Is that so? That's why your qualification test went wrong."

The news that Mu Chen was an eighth-level qualification immediately spread to every corner of the Saint Star Academy.

 

 

............

Alchemy School.

Tai Shuming's face was bitter, and he kept sighing one after another.

Lu Han looked at Tai Shuming and said angrily, "Enough. Don't sigh anymore! You have been sighing for two hours."

Tai Shuming raised his head, looked at Lu Han dazedly, and said blankly, "President, Mu Chen is an eighth-level qualification!"

"Okay. I know that Mu Chen is an eighth-level qualification. Today, I have heard from no less than ten people that Mu Chen is an eighth-level qualification. You don't need to repeat it." Lu Han said angrily.

Tai Shuming said with a bitter face, "Such an apprentice with an eighth-level qualification and an outstanding talent in alchemy, I just missed it."

Lu Han gritted his teeth and said, "If Mu Chen entered the Alchemy School, it is impossible for him to be your apprentice. So stop regretting." If Mu Chen entered the Alchemy School, he would definitely be his own apprentice. If Mu Chen became his apprentice, when he visited those old friends who made alchemy, he would have something to show off, but unfortunately...

"President, it's really impossible for us to recruit Mu Chen into the Alchemy School?" Tai Shuming said unwillingly.

Lu Han rolled his eyes. The two women in the Inscription Academy were fierce like two overlord tigers. So they'd better not mess with them!

Lu Han said helplessly. "Okay, don't think about it. It's impossible."

Lu Han thought to himself: I feel even more uncomfortable! However, I have to comfort others, and no one comforted me.

Tai Shuming sighed in disappointment and said, "What a pity."

Lu Han narrowed his eyes, "It's really a pity! What did that idiot Lan Da do?"

 

............

Talisman School.

Song Cheng angrily tore the letter to shreds.

"Bring Fan Li back? This damn bastard. He even wants to come back. Does he know how much loss our Talisman School has suffered because of him?" Song Cheng said with a grim face.

Looking at Song Cheng's expression, Huang An couldn't help but feel upset.

"President, calm down." Huang An said.

Song Chengman said indignantly, "How can I calm down? Mu Chen is an eighth-level qualification! Eighth-level qualification! How can I calm down?"

Huang An smiled dryly and said, "President, no matter how angry you are, Mu Chen is already a member of the Inscription Academy."

Song Cheng looked at Huang An with a sharp stare. Huang An was trembling under the cold eyes of Song Cheng.

Huang An lowered his head and thought to himself: why did I talk so much?

"You don't need to tell me because I know that Mu Chen is already a member of the Inscription Academy. Thank you for your reminder." Song Cheng gritted his teeth.

Huang An listened to Song Cheng's crunching of his teeth, his heart pounded, "Dean, I should go now."

Song Cheng said angrily, "Get out."

 

............

Inscription Academy.

"Sister, the news said that Mu Chen is actually an eighth-level qualification." Xia Qingli said with joy on her face.

Xia Qingyan took a sip of tea calmly, although her heart had already bloomed with joy, but nothing appeared on Xia Qingyan's face.

"I knew that this guy is not ordinary." Xia Qingyan said slowly.

Xia Qingli smiled and said, "You have sharp eyes."

Xia Qingyan smiled smugly and said, "Tell me about it. The two old men in the Alchemy School and Talisman School are blind. How can they compare with me?"

Xia Qingli pursed her lips, smiled, and said, "You are right! By the way, I heard that Lu Han came to talk to you again."

Xia Qingyan rolled her eyes and said, "Not only Lu Han, but Song Cheng has also been here several times. Lu Han is still a man of grace, but Song Cheng is funny. He cried and yelled and did everything. It's a pity that I am the one he is dealing with. No matter how many things he did, it's useless."

Xia Qingli raised her eyebrows and muttered, "President Song is shameless!"

Xia Qingyan said angrily, "He has no dignity at all."

Xia Qingli: "..."

Formation School.

"President, there's something wrong with Mu Chen's aptitude test. He has an eighth-level aptitude." Di Han said.

"I heard it. During these days, people kept telling me what happened to Mu Chen, what did Mu Chen do. He is the most talked-about person in the school." Hao Tu said angrily.

"Speaking of which, Mu Chen is really outstanding!" Di Han said.

"What's the use of being excellent? He originally applied for the Alchemy School, but he entered the Talisman School by accident. Now he is a member of the Inscription School. He has nothing to do with our Formation School." Hao Tu said in dissatisfaction.

Di Han smiled contemptuously.

Hao Tu thought with some dissatisfaction: Mu Chen is good at everything, but bad at choosing a major. How can he choose alchemy, talisman, and inscription over formation?!

"Actually, it is not a bad thing. The two old men from the Alchemy School and Talisman School are now regretful." Di Han said.

Hao Tu smiled coldly and said, "Those two old men deserve it!"

 

............

 

Campus cafeteria.

"It turns out that Mu Chen is an eighth-level aptitude, so it's no wonder that his cultivation speed is so fast."

"Yeah! I just said, it is impossible for a sixth-level qualification to perform so well."

"He's a nine-star marital art master. Zhuang Yu and Mu Chen are five-star."

"He got strange fire, and his cultivation will naturally grow faster."

"The academy's aptitude tester actually made a mistake. I don't know if my aptitude test also went wrong." A girl muttered.

"Yes, your test result must be wrong too. How could you have a fifth-level qualification? You must not even have a third-level qualification." Another girl giggled.

"You are teasing me!"

Hearing the discussion of the people around, Lan Ruofeng's heart sunk. Since Mu Chen revealed his talents in alchemy, talisman and inscription, the only thing that Lan Ruofeng could be better than Mu Chen was his aptitude. However, now even Mu Chen's aptitude was better than him.

Mu Chen said that his aptitude test went wrong because of his physical condition was not unstable on the day of the test.

Lan Ruofeng sneered. Only those innocent students bought Mu Chen's lie. He felt that Mu Chen must have obtained something from Ye Shi to improve his aptitude to the eighth level.
