With Xiao Mo helping her, she would have her safety guaranteed. If he wanted to fleece her for a meal, then so be it...
At that moment, Dugu Bo walked over.
"That person hasn't left," he said blandly. "I'll escort you back."
Mu Yu looked at Dugu Bo. As their eyes met, she seemed to understand something.
She told Xiao Mo to hide for now and act according to the situation, then left with Dugu Bo.
Tang Hao clearly had not expected Dugu Bo to come out with Mu Yu, but one Dugu Bo would not affect him much. At worst, he would kill them both.
By the time Mu Yu and Dugu Bo reached the forest where the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was located, Tang Hao could no longer contain himself and prepared to make his move.
Mu Yu and Dugu Bo exchanged smiles. He had taken the bait.
Sensing Tang Hao's approach, Dugu Bo immediately summoned his martial soul to defend himself.
Tang Hao was somewhat disdainful. How could a Level 92 Titled Douluo possibly contend with him?
But before he could gloat for long, a booming voice rang out.
"Good, Tang Hao! You still dare cause trouble for Miss Mu!"
How could Tang Hao not recognize that voice? The Seventh Elder!?
Before he could react, the Seventh Elder's twin hammers smashed into his face.
Tang Hao did not care about anything else and turned to run.
Tang Hao was probably regretting it bitterly, because the Seventh Elder pursued him for five whole years.
Seeing Tang Hao suffer, Mu Yu and Dugu Bo exchanged smiles.
"Your method really is quite good, hahaha."
"The Clear Sky Sect promised me they would capture Tang Hao. They would definitely come back. And if nothing else, they are very afraid of your threat."
As for why? Because in the final line of Dugu Bo's letter ordering the Clear Sky Sect to capture Tang Hao, he had written: "If no one from the Clear Sky Sect comes, this old man will go poison the Clear Sky Sect! No one in your entire sect, young or old, will live."
After dealing with Tang Hao, Mu Yu thanked Dugu Bo.
"Ah, little girl, what's with the formalities between us? If you need anything in the future, just call me! This old man will definitely help you with all his strength."
"Then thank you, Senior Dugu!"
After Dugu Bo left, Xiao Mo shouted within her spiritual sea, "Didn't you say you needed me? Why didn't you call me after all?"
"Who would have thought Senior Dugu would act so decisively? He directly turned the tables on Tang Hao."
Mu Yu glanced at Xiao Mo's unhappy face and froze for a moment. Then she seemed to think of something and could not help but smile.
"Don't worry. This time it was my fault. I'll definitely take you to eat something delicious like I promised."
Only after hearing Mu Yu's guarantee did Xiao Mo smile. "Alright! Are we leaving now?!"
Mu Yu smiled. "Let's go."
At that, Xiao Mo's eyes lit up, and he vanished from Mu Yu's spiritual sea.
Mu Yu's Head Spirit Bone flickered, and a sunny, innocent-looking boy appeared before her. "Let's go!"
Looking at the boy, who was about the same height as herself, Mu Yu could not help but sigh. "So cute."
Xiao Mo huffed and pulled Mu Yu toward the street.
Xiao Mo looked left and right, buying snacks on the left and drinks on the right, showing absolutely no restraint.
Mu Yu simply followed calmly behind him and paid.
As they walked, Xiao Mo was drawn by the sound of an argument. "Master, let's go take a look over there."
Mu Yu followed behind Xiao Mo and barely managed to squeeze into the crowd.
At the center of the crowd, a man was about to attack a short-haired girl. In front of her stood three injured youths.
"Heh, you really are persistent. In that case, why don't I kill you first, then take that bitch away?"
Tears fell from the girl's eyes one drop at a time. "Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, Tailong, hurry and leave! Go find Teacher Liu!"
Mu Yu froze slightly upon hearing those names. It seemed these were the four from Blue Tyrant Academy.
The man had already begun his attack, his soul skill only inches away from the three youths.
Mu Yu and Xiao Mo exchanged a look, then immediately rushed out.
"Third Soul Skill, Dream Realm."
Three blue-violet crescent shields appeared before the three youths.
The man was somewhat enraged. "Who is it?!"
Before he could finish, Xiao Mo kicked him away.
The four from Blue Tyrant Academy stared in disbelief as a Soul Emperor-level man was kicked aside by a young man.
"Are you alright?" Mu Yu walked up to the three of them.
The three youths immediately shook their heads. "We're fine, we're fine. Thank you."
At this point, the man had already gotten to his feet. "You little bastard, you dare sneak-attack me?!"
Xiao Mo frowned and wanted to step forward, but Mu Yu stopped him. "Go back first. Leave this to me."
Xiao Mo unwillingly entered the sea of consciousness.
Mu Yu looked coldly at the man. "I advise you to watch your mouth."
"You!" The man angrily pointed a finger at Mu Yu.
But before he could say anything else, a pair of hands grabbed his finger and snapped it back with a crack.
"Ahhh! Who was that?!"
He was just about to curse when he met Dugu Yan's eyes.
The man choked on his words. He knew the girl before him—she was Dugu Bo's precious granddaughter! She was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.
"Miss Dugu, what are you doing?!" He quickly pulled his hand back.
"You pointed at my friend, and you're asking me what I'm doing?!"
Mu Yu slowly walked over to Dugu Yan's side. "Yanyan~"
Seeing that he could do nothing to Mu Yu, the man immediately prepared to flee. "Y-you-you just wait! If I see you again, I'll make you regret this!"
Mu Yu smiled. "I'll be waiting! The last person who said he'd make me regret it had his whole family wiped out."
Watching the man flee in terror, Mu Yu turned around and gave a disdainful snort.
The four from Blue Tyrant Academy came over together to thank Mu Yu and Dugu Yan.
"Thank you."
"It's nothing. I just like helping people."
"My name is Jiang Zhu."
"I'm Huang Yuan."
"Hello, I'm Tailong."
"Jing Ling."
Mu Yu gave them a sweet smile. "My name is Mu Yu, and she's Dugu Yan."
"Mu Yu?! You're Bone Douluo's disciple!"
The four of them were clearly shocked.
Mu Yu nodded awkwardly. Had she become this famous in Heaven Dou already?
Jiang Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief. "I was actually saved by my idol!"
Then she grew so excited that her words became incoherent. "Um... Miss Mu! I really admire you! You... you're amazing!"
Mu Yu had not expected to be Jiang Zhu's idol. She shook her head indifferently. "If you work hard, you can be like me too."
At that moment, a woman dressed in blue, with waist-length hair, ran over. "A-Zhu! Huang Yuan!..."
"Dean Liu!"
Liu Erlong anxiously checked the three children over. Huang Yuan and the others had already been treated by Jiang Zhu, and there were no serious injuries left on them.
"What happened?" Liu Erlong asked the three.
Jiang Zhu told Liu Erlong what had happened and introduced Mu Yu and Dugu Yan to her along the way.
After hearing the whole story, Liu Erlong was so angry she nearly smashed the surrounding shops.
She first turned to Mu Yu and Dugu Yan. "Miss Mu, Miss Dugu, thank you both for saving my students. I have nothing to repay you with, but if you ever need anything, I, Liu Erlong, will do everything in my power to help you."
Mu Yu shook her head. "It's alright, Senior. We only lent a hand."
"Huh? Why don't I see the young man they mentioned?"
Mu Yu froze for a moment, then smiled. "Something came up at home, so he left first."
"Then please pass a message to him for me, Miss Mu."
Mu Yu nodded. "No problem."
After returning to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Mu Yu told Ning Fengzhi and the others what had happened...
That night, Mu Yu lay in bed, already on the verge of falling asleep, when the God of Space's voice suddenly rang out.
"Little one, I had something to deal with these past two days and haven't congratulated you on completing the third trial yet."
Mu Yu shot the God of Space a resentful look.
The God of Space's figure trembled. "Hey, don't be angry. How about we talk about the reward first?"
Only then did Mu Yu suppress the urge to kick the God of Space.
"Go on, then. What's the reward?"
The God of Space thought for a moment. "A God-Bestowed Spirit Ring?"
Mu Yu considered it. It seemed that aside from a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, there was nothing else she wanted.
"Alright..."
The God of Space was quite pleased that Mu Yu had not asked for anything else. In his delight, he directly bestowed a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring upon each of Mu Yu's two spirit rings.
"Big brother, generous!"
The God of Space smiled. "Then can we discuss the contents of the fourth trial now?"
Mu Yu nodded. "Go ahead."
"Kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
Mu Yu:?
"No, wait a second. How did the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King get dragged into this again? Are you the God of Space or the Sea God?"
The God of Space rubbed his nose. He would never tell her that he had colluded with the Sea God.
"By the way, where's Xi Ruo?"
The God of Space froze for a moment. "Him? How would I know?"
Even the God of Space's voice grew quieter from guilt.
Mu Yu smiled and instantly teleported in front of the God of Space. A massive puppet appeared.
"Lord God of Space, are you sure?"
The God of Space trembled. "He... went to help you complete the fourth trial."
After saying that, he gave Mu Yu a guilty smile. He would never tell Mu Yu that he had dragged Xi Ruo to the God Realm to play cards with him.
Mu Yu could not be bothered to deal with the God of Space.
"Alright, I believe you. Also, stop disturbing my sleep. Thanks."
With that, Mu Yu withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness and drifted into sleep.
The next day was the opening day of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Mu Yu had arranged to go with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
After breakfast at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that morning, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo spent ages reminding Mu Yu of things. Naturally, they were telling her to take good care of Ning Rongrong.
Before she left, Ning Fengzhi asked Mu Yu to train Ning Rongrong properly—however Mu Yu had trained as a child, Ning Rongrong was to train the same way.
Mu Yu readily agreed and pulled Ning Rongrong along to meet up with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
"Xiao Yu, it's your first day at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If anyone bullies you, you have to tell me!"
"Mm."
After arriving at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Mu Yu first sent Ning Rongrong to the Heavenly Micro Class, then headed to the Education Committee's office.
"Honored Education Committee members." Mu Yu gave a slight bow.
"Miss Mu, there's no need to be so polite. If there's anything you need, just say it," Meng Shenji said respectfully.
"It's like this, seniors. I'd like to study in the Heavenly Supreme Class with Yan Yan and the others for now."
Meng Shenji immediately agreed. "Miss Mu may attend whichever class she wishes. With Miss Mu's strength, you would be more than qualified to be a teacher."
"Then thank you, honored committee members. Oh, and one more thing—I've already reached level sixty."
After saying that, Mu Yu left, leaving the three committee members staring at one another in disbelief.
When Mu Yu reached the classroom door, nine years of compulsory education made her subconsciously announce herself before entering.
"Come in."
As she entered the classroom, the refined man standing at the lectern caught her attention.
She examined the man before her, while his expression was far from pleasant.
"Student, late on the first day of school?"
There was both reproach and dissatisfaction in his tone.
Mu Yu rarely refrained from talking back to Qin Ming, but she had indeed been late.
"Sorry, Teacher. I had something to discuss with the Education Committee members just now, so I was delayed."
Seeing Mu Yu's good attitude—and hearing that she had gone to see the Education Committee—Qin Ming's expression softened somewhat.
"Alright. Go in and take any seat."
Mu Yu glanced inside. Every student in the class was sizing her up, except for the members of the Heaven Dou Team.
Most of the seats were already taken, and there were people seated beside Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling as well.
Just as she was hesitating over where to sit, Yu Feng, Osler, and the others lightly waved at her.
Without a second thought, she sat between Yu Feng and Osler.
The surrounding students all looked astonished. This newcomer had actually chosen to sit there—and had directly separated the two heavenly kings.
Qin Ming was also slightly stunned. He knew what Yu Feng and Osler were like, so after giving Mu Yu a look that said good luck, he continued the lesson.
Mu Yu had already understood the theoretical material on martial souls from reading in her previous life, so she was basically just a decorative figure throughout the entire class, bored enough to nearly fall asleep.
At that moment, Yu Feng tapped her.
"Boss Mu, this is important. It'll be on the test, so don't fall asleep."
Yu Feng whispered by Mu Yu's ear.
Mu Yu remained sprawled on her desk and casually said, "I already know all of this," before drifting back to sleep.
Yu Feng: Do top students all get to be this cocky?
Osler: My silence was deafening.
A class period passed quickly with Mu Yu sleeping through it. If Dugu Yan had not dragged her awake after class, she would have kept sleeping.
"Mu Yu! You've been asleep all morning! How are you still tired?!"
Mu Yu smiled awkwardly. "I originally wanted to listen properly, but going over things I've already learned is just too boring..."
"Xiao Yu, you know all of it?"
Ye Lingling stared at Mu Yu in disbelief.
"Yep."
Silence...
In the end, Ning Rongrong came running over to Mu Yu and broke the silence.
"Big sister!"
Ning Rongrong threw herself into Mu Yu's arms.
Mu Yu helplessly held Ning Rongrong. "Yanyan, you guys go ahead. I need to keep Rongrong company."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling nodded.
After saying goodbye to Dugu Yan, Mu Yu asked Ning Rongrong, "How did your lessons go today? You didn't get into any fights, did you?"
Ning Rongrong pouted. "I didn't fight, but I wanted to. I'm a Support System Soul Master, though. I wouldn't be able to beat them at all."
Mu Yu had considered that problem as well.
"Rongrong, would you be willing to listen to your big sister and train every day? When the time comes, I'll give you a powerful Soul Bone with offensive abilities."
Ning Rongrong tilted her head. "Why doesn't Big Sister just give me the Soul Bone now?"
"Soul Bones are far too powerful, and all I have are Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. Although the Immortal Herb I gave you before also improved your physical strength, your body is still not very strong, little princess. Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone would only make you explode and die."
Ning Rongrong mentally prepared herself, then finally agreed. "Okay! I'll train with Big Sister!"
Mu Yu nodded approvingly. "Today is the first day, so the task will be lighter. Run ten laps around the field. You only need to finish them by the end of today. You can run them all at once or split them into batches. There's no restriction."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. "Big Sister?"
Mu Yu turned back. "What is it?"
"Big Sister, you might as well just work me to death!"
"This is how Big Sister trained before. Didn't Uncle Ning say that you should train however I trained?"
"..."
"This month's training is running—ten laps every day. Keep it up!"
With that, she headed toward the cafeteria, leaving Ning Rongrong standing alone in the wind, utterly dazed.
