159. Arriving at the Saint Star (2)

"Tell me about it. Even their students from Class of Heaven would be at the poorest students."

Lu Yao smiled. The girls were obviously exaggerating. However, the overall strength of the Saint Star Academy students was indeed far poor than that of Mingyue.

Zhuang Yu was walking down the corridor and happened to see Lu Yao and others.

Seeing Zhuang Yu, Lu Yao's face suddenly lit up. Zhuang Yu was already dazzling. As his strength enhanced on daily basis, he was more of a fairy. Although he was a man, he was more beautiful than a woman.

Zhuang Yu glanced at Lu Yao lightly. Just one glance, Lu Yao felt that the beautiful women around him were too mediocre.

Zhuang Yu smiled lightly at Lu Yao, turned around and left with Lan Ruofeng.

Tong Yaoyao saw Lu Yao's obsessed expression, and a feeling of jealousy surged in her heart.

Liu Xueyan was also filled with resentment. The students of Saint Star Academy were not very strong, but they were good at flirting with people.

"That was Zhuang Yu from the Saint Star Academy just now. I heard that he has an eighth-level qualification!" Du Ting said lightly.

"Eight-star martial art master at his age. His strength is not weak." Lu Yao said with narrowed eyes.

"Eight-star?" Tong Yaoyao murmured in surprise. The news he got was that Zhuang Yu was only a six-star martial art master!

Because of the arrival of Mingyue Academy students, Saint Star Academy had to come up with precious resources to help students cultivate.

Zhuang Yu had eighth-level qualification, and he was the key training target.

"The one next to Zhuang Yu just now seems to be Lan Ruofeng. I heard that he is a third-level star master."

Lu Yao squinted his eyes and said with some disdain, "Zhuang Yu is worthy his reputation, but Lan Ruofeng is not good enough. He is only a six-star martial art master." Lan Ruofeng was only a seventh-level qualification. In the future, the gap between him and Zhuang Yu would get bigger and bigger.

"That's right. A third-level alchemist at this age is amazing in the Saint Star Academy, but in our academy, there are three or four."

"I heard that Zhuang Yu and that Lan Ruofeng are a couple." A female cultivator looked at Lu Yao and said.

Lu Yao's expression remained unchanged, with a confident smile on his face.

The scene of Zhuang Yu and Lu Yao looking at each other happened to be seen by Ye Shi.

"That's Lu Yao! He's not as handsome as Mu Chen! Surrounded by so many women, he's not afraid of losing too much energy." Ye Shi said with disdain.

Fu Yuanbao followed Ye Shi and said, "Those women like him, but Lu Yao is not interested in them."

Ye Shi sneered and said, "There are so many women around him. It's a joke that he is not interested in women."

Fu Yuanbao: "..." Those women were all chasing after Lu Yao! In fact, Lu Yao was still a virgin.

"Zhuang Yu likes to flirt with anyone he sees. After he goes out with Lan Ruofeng, he flirts with the Seventh Prince, and now he's winking at Lu Yao who he barely knows. It's really... shameful."

Fu Yuanbao: "..."

Ye Shi looked at Lu Yao from a distance, and there was a bit of unkindness in his eyes. Many tutors in the college compared Mu Chen with Lu Yao. Many people thought that Lu Yao was better than Mu Chen. These made Ye Shi very angry.

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

"Zhuang Yu and Lan Ruofeng have met. Where is Mu Chen, the peerless genius of the academy! I heard that this person is a legend of the Saint Star Academy!"

Because of the fact that Mu Chen helped Xiong Wei become Martial Emperor, mentors of Mingyue Academy were full of jealousy towards Mu Chen, which made Lu Yao a little more curious about Mu Chen.

"I heard that he is still sleeping." Du Ting said with a strange expression.

"Still sleeping? Is Mu Chen a pig? At this time, he is still sleeping" Tong Yaoyao said with disdain.

"Hey bitch, who are you scolding?" Ye Shi looked at Tong Yaoyao angrily with his waist on his back.

Tong Yaoyao frowned, looked at Ye Shi with dissatisfaction, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't beat you to death." Ye Shi rolled up his sleeves, raised his fists, and said with a grim expression.

"Who is that guy?!" Tong Yaoyao said.

"He is a nine-star martial art master and a versatile. He should be Ye Shi." A strange feeling flashed across Lu Yao's eyes. Ye Shi's spirit strength was very strong, and he was not easy to mess with.

Hearing that Ye Shi was a nine-star martial art master, Tong Yaoyao's face turned pale.

"He's Mu Chen's fiancee." Du Ting said.

Tong Yaoyao rolled her eyes and said, "Mu Chen has a great taste. Ye Shi looks so rough."

"Maybe Mu Chen is more rough than Ye Shi, so Ye Shi is his type." Liu Xueyan said disdainfully.

"What does Mu Chen look like? Saint Star Academy treats him as a god." Tong Yaoyao said with a little disdain.

Lu Yao was an outstanding genius at Mingyue Academy, but the people of Saint Star Academy compared Mu Chen to Lu Yao, which made several female cultivators who admired Lu Yao very dissatisfied.

 

 

160. Before the game (1)

Lu Yao and the others were walking around in the academy. The spirit energy in the sky suddenly began to stir. The rich vitality swarmed in one direction. Lu Yao's pupils shrank slightly.

"It looks like someone is going to be promoted to martial spirit!" Tong Yaoyao glanced at Lu Yao and whispered.

When Lu Yao was promoted, the same thing happened, which shocked many people in the academy.

"Just a Martial Spirit." Liu Xueyan said indifferently.

"Senior Mu Chen is promoted to Martial Spirit. Senior Mu Chen is promoted to Martial Spirit."

A burst of shouting spread all over the campus.

Lu Yao's face finally sank. He didn't care much about others being promoted to Martial Spirit. However, it was Mu Chen who was promoted to Martial Spirit, so he had to care. Mu Chen was only fourteen this year, and this person was even younger than him when he was promoted to Martial Spirit.

"Didn't you say that Mu Chen is sleeping?" Tong Yaoyao gave Du Ting a dissatisfied look.

Du Ting smiled awkwardly and said, "I heard that he is sleeping!"

"Mu Chen got promoted while asleep."

"Mr. Mu is truly a peerless genius. He was promoted when he fell asleep."

Another shout came into everyone's ears.

Tong Yaoyao's face turned pale. What nonsense are these people talking about? How could someone advance while sleeping?

Mu Chen was promoted to Martial Spirit, which shocked many people in the two schools.

Ever since the arrival of Mingyue Academy, countless people had been comparing Mu Chen and Lu Yao, and the result of the comparison was that they had their own merits.

However, as soon as Mu Chen was promoted, most of the people felt that Mu Chen was superior. After all, Mu Chen was promoted to Martial Spirit earlier than Lu Yao.

"President, are you looking for me?" Mu Chen walked into the office. After being promoted to Martial Spirit, Mu Chen's temperament changed subtly. Compared with before, he seemed calmer and his temperament was even more outstanding.

Xia Qingyan looked at Mu Chen and said strangely, "I heard that you are a fourth-level formation master?"

"President, you are flattering me. How could I be a fourth-level formation master?" Mu Chen smiled lightly.

Xia Qingyan nodded, looking seemly relieved, but also a little disappointed, "I doubt if it is so easy to reach the fourth level. If you want to become a fourth-level formation master, you should first become a fourth-level inscription master."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Exactly. I always feel that inscriptions are more inscrutable than formations."

Xia Qingyan nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, yes. Excellent that you have such a wonderful understanding."

Mu Chen: "..."

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

 

The Moon Academy.

Several instructors and students gathered together.

"It has been decided. The martial arts competition is going to take place the day after tomorrow. As for the alchemy, the inscriptions, the refining tools, the formations, and the talismans are set for the next five days, and one item every day." A tutor said.

"Teacher, will Mu Chen participate in the martial art competition? I think I can fight against him." Lu Yao's eyes shone brightly.

Lu Yao was born with extraordinary talent. Since he was born, he had made great progress all the way, and had never been invincible. Now, the students of Saint Star Academy doubted that he was not as good as Mu Chen, Lu Yao did not show it obviously, but he was very dissatisfied in his mind.

"The Saint Star Academy has made a lot of tactics in the competition. They should have planned to give up on this game and only sent a nine-star martial art master to play."

Lu Yao frowned and his face sunk. Does Saint Star plan to use their weakest to offset our strongest? If that's the case, then it will be a tricky problem."

"Teacher, will Mu Chen play a lot of games?!" Liu Xueyan asked.

"Yes, there are very few third-level magicians among the younger generation of Saint Star Academy. Saint Star Academy has placed a high hope on Mu Chen. He will all participate in formation, inscription, alchemy, and talisman. The five games are held in five days because they want Mu Chen to participate in as many games as possible."

"You must find a way to defeat Mu Chen, even in one round." If Mu Chen won all five rounds, Saint Star Academy's moral would definitely rise.

"Teacher, don't worry. Since Mu Chen has learned so many techniques, I bet he will definitely not be able to master all of them. If he loses all of them, the Saint Star will be humiliated."

Tong Yaoyao squinted her eyes, and said with some schadenfreude.

The instructor glanced at Tong Yaoyao helplessly, and said, "Yaoyao, don't take it lightly. Mu Chen is a very strange person. If you compete with him in alchemy, you may not be his opponent."

Tong Yaoyao nodded, but she did not take it seriously. She was already able to refine four third-level medicinal pills. The instructors in the academy praised her as a genius. She did not think she could lose to Mu Chen.

"Senior Brother Lu Yao will crush Mu Chen in the inscription competition." Tong Yaoyao clenched her fist and said.

"Unfortunately, Mu Chen is the only third-level inscription master in the Inscription Academy. In order to be sure of winning this match, Saint Star will not let Mu Chen deal with Lu Yao."

Tong Yaoyao frowned, sneered, and said, "Is Saint Star going to send a second-level inscription master to compete with Senior Brother Lu?"

"Mostly like so."

The students looked at each other and found it funny that a fourth-level inscription master would compete with a second-level inscription master.

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

 

"Student Mu Chen, are you looking for me?" Ji Dongcheng looked at Mu Chen nervously, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Ji Dongcheng was 20 years old this year. He was a nine-star martial artist. His aptitude and talent were quite good, but way worse than Mu Chen.

Ji Dongcheng looked at Mu Chen, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Mu Chen was great at alchemy, talisman, formation, and inscriptions. All the deans fought openly and secretly for him, and even helped Xiong Wei became Martial Emperor.

He even became a martial art spirit at a young age. It can be said that Mu Chen was the most legendary student in the history of the Saint Star Academy. But why did Mu Chen come to visit him? "There is something I would like to ask for your help." Mu Chen carried his hands on his back and said lightly.

Ji Dongcheng's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Please tell me, and I will do my best."

Mu Chen was now very famous in the academy. Except for his fiancee Ye Shi, he had never treat someone so nicely.

Ji Dongcheng would not let go of the chance to get in touch with Mu Chen.

"This matter is a bit dangerous. But if it succeeds, you will get a lot." Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

Ji Dongcheng calmed down and said solemnly, "Please tell me what it is and I assure you that I will do my best."

"I heard that your opponent this time is Lu Yao."

Ji Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. Yes. There was nothing in him worth Mu Chen's wanting, and the only thing that interested Mu Chen was his opponent Lu Yao.

His strength was just fine but not Lu Yao's opponent at all. The academy basically gave up this battle against Lu Yao.

 

 

 

161. Before the game (2)

 

At that time, he only needed to make some moves on stage and then step down.

Ji Dongcheng nodded and said, "That's right."

Mu Chen smiled and said righteously, "Lu Yao is the new idol of Mingyue College. If you can make him suffer, those students of Mingyue College will not be as arrogant as they are now."

Ji Dongcheng's expression changed, and he said to himself: "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. It seems that Mu Chen is very dissatisfied with Lu Yao!"

"What do you want me to do?" Ji Dongcheng asked in awe.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "I hope that you can do your best."

Ji Dongcheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Mu, I'm not his opponent." He secretly said: It is not easy to make Mu Chen owe him.

"Don't worry, senior. I will help you." Mu Chen smiled lightly.

Mu Chen talked with Ji Dongcheng, and Ji Dongcheng left with a space ring.

Ji Dongcheng took out an elementary stone card from the space ring and rubbed it repeatedly.

"This is a deposit of two million elementary stones. If you succeed, I will give you another eight million."

Ji Dongcheng took a deep breath. Mu Chen indeed could earn elementary stones. Even in a game that was bound to be lost, he could pay so much money.

As soon as Ji Dongcheng left, Ye Shi looked out of the woods. Mu Chen looked in Ye Shi's direction and waved at Ye Shi.

"Why are you hiding here?" Mu Chen asked.

Ye Shi shrugged and said, "I passed by by chance and saw you sneaking around, so I am curious who are you talking to. What did you tell him?"

"Nothing. It's just a business deal." Mu Chen said calmly.

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen curiously, "Business? It must be big business. I seem to hear you say that the deposit is 2 million, and after the event is completed, you are going to pay 8 million."

"You heard it wrong. There is no much money." Mu Chen hugged Ye Shi and said.

Ye Shi wanted to say something else, but Mu Chen's hand slid down Ye Shi's waistline, Ye Shi was startled, and immediately shut his mouth.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's blushing face, and laughed out loud.

Ye Shi took a bite on Mu Chen's neck as if venting his anger, and his face blushed more after the bite.

Mu Chen smiled even more proudly.

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

 

"Master, our spies in the imperial capital said that the Hundred Exercises was taken away by Mu Yuanfeng before, and now it should be in Mu Chen's possession." Lu Fangming said.

"The results of their investigation should be correct. Zhuang Yu and Mu Chen are from the same place. He said that Mu Chen bought a large amount of animal blood to refine his body more than a year ago, and his quality is getting higher and higher. Ye Shi also likes to buy it. Both of them bought expensive beast blood. Ye Shi spends millions of elementary stones on animal blood every month."

The most prominent feature of practicing the Hundred Body Exercises was that it consumed a lot of animal blood. The more precious the animal blood, the better the effect.

Ordinary people who practice this technique might become broke.

Thinking of Mu Chen, Lu Yao couldn't help but feel uneasy. Although he was a fourth-level inscription master, Mu Chen was even better than him in terms of ability to earn elementary stones.

Lu Fangming smiled and said, "Young master, you are really amazing. In just a few days after coming to the Saint Star, you have conquered the genius of the Saint Star Academy."

Lu Yao smiled shyly. Thinking of Zhuang Yu, Lu Yao came up with sweet smile. Lu Yao was proud that he could make Zhuang Yu admire him.

"Master, Zhuang Yu seems to be seeing someone." Lu Fangming said silently.

"Zhuang Yu's former fling is a genius in the eyes of the Saint Star Academy but a loser in my eyes. That person took advantage of Zhuang Yu's youth and ignorance and deceived him. I will deal with him sooner or later." There was a fierce look on his face.

"Lan Ruofeng is really nothing, but that Mu Chen has some skills. He seems to be proficient in the art of repairing formation patterns, and he extends his knowledge." Lu Fangming said solemnly.

Lu Yao lowered his head. If necessary, he could only ask the elders of the family to kill Mu Chen. Mu Chen was such a big threat to him.

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

Xiong Wei kicked open the door of Jing Chiyan's training room. Jing Chiyan opened his eyes and looked at Xiong Wei helplessly, "Senior, what's the matter with you?"

Xiong Wei said in a ruthless manner, "My apprentice has been promoted to martial art spirit. Shouldn't you do something to celebrate it?"
4
Jing Chiyan rolled his eyes. This was not the first time Xiong Wei asked for gifts in Mu Chen's name. He once asked Ye Shi and confirmed that none of these gifts had been given to Mu Chen. Xiong Wei must have exchanged them for wine.

Even thought Xiong Wei had been promoted to Martial Emperor, his temperament had not changed at all, not like an expert at all.

"Senior, wait a moment, I'll go get the gift right now."

"Go. I'm not in a hurry. I have good judgment in picking such a young genius at a glance. The other geniuses in the academy are fake. Only my apprentice is authentic. He is way much better than you, Shizi Yu, Hu Shu's apprentice. Why do you think I am so great at picking someone?" Xiong Wei said proudly.

Jing Chiyan gritted his teeth. It was true Mu Chen was great. But he had to give Ye Shi elementary stones if Ye Shi asked for it.

"This is for you." Jing Chiyan handed a few spirit grasses to Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei looked at Jing Chiyan with contempt, "I heard that you have been very rich recently! You are very rich, but you only gave me a few grasses."

"Senior, how can I be so rich? I'm poor. You should go to Shi Ziyu. He is the real wealthy!" Jing Chiyan sent Xiong Wei away as soon as possible. He gave out fifth-level spirit grass.

Jing Chiyan looked at Xiong Wei's back and shook his head helplessly. At the beginning, after he accepted Ye Shi as his apprentice, Ye Shi once begged him to accept Mu Chen as his apprentice.

At that time, he thought that Mu Chen's talent was normal, so he only agreed to wait and see. But before he could finish watching, Mu Chen was already taken by Xiong Wei.

If he had accepted Mu Chen as his apprentice back then, now he wouldn't have to give Xiong Wei gifts so often. What a disaster!
