Although most of his students had graduated, Mu Yue's daily life had not changed much. He had simply gone from teaching five people to teaching one.
Of course, teaching one person was much easier than teaching five. Mu Yue had more time to practice his skills.
On the first afternoon after his students had been assigned to teams, Mu Yue sat down to rest after practicing the Great Waterfall Technique for a while. He opened the system's master-disciple section to check the information on his students' Life Missions.
Whenever he had nothing to do, he would open it and check their mission progress.
