What Kind of Wish-Fulfillment Plot Was This?

"What... happened?"

Upon arriving at the square, Shui Yunxin's heart tightened when she saw the students gathered in a circle.

"What's going on over there?"

Meng Shenji casually called over a student.

When the student saw the three Commissioners, he hurriedly answered respectfully.

"Reporting to the Commissioners, the Fourth Prince had a conflict with some people from Skywater earlier and ordered that commoner boy named Bai Mu to be thrown out.

"The boy said he remembered that the academy accepted commoners. The Fourth Prince said those were peerless geniuses who only appeared once in several years, not country bumpkins like him.

"The boy said he was exactly that kind of genius. He even said he could defeat the people beside the Fourth Prince without moving at all. Then...

"He really did it."

"What?"

Meng Shenji raised his brows.

So everything Shui Yunxin had said was true?

"He was clearly only Level 11, but he fought ten matches in total and defeated every opponent in one move!"

The student grew more excited as he spoke. "Whenever he said 'Extreme Speed,' his martial soul vanished, then his opponent flew away! In the end, he even used a Healing Spirit Skill to heal everyone!"

The three Commissioners and Shui Yunxin exchanged glances.

His martial soul vanished? What an oddly specific description!

Meng Shenji took a deep breath and looked at Shui Yunxin.

"Yunxin, the child you brought this time... is no ordinary child."

"I told you I wasn't lying."

Shui Yunxin answered with a smile, though inwardly, she was deeply shocked.

Winning ten matches in a row without moving at all would have been absurd anywhere!

The four of them quickly headed toward the center of the crowd.

"The Commissioners are here!"

When the watching students saw the three Commissioners, they automatically made way.

Bai Mu understood at once—the people in charge had arrived.

"Child, are you Bai Mu? Is this your martial soul?"

Meng Shenji carefully examined Bai Mu and the majestic Zygarde beside him, a gleam flashing through his eyes.

"Yes, Commissioner."

Bai Mu bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"We've heard about what happened just now."

Meng Shenji spoke slowly. "Teacher Shui has also recommended you to us. However, Heaven Dou Royal Academy has always maintained extremely strict standards for commoners seeking admission..."

He paused, and his voice suddenly turned stern. "Therefore, we need to conduct a formal test. If you pass, you may enter the academy directly. If you fail..."

"I'll leave on my own, without complaint."

Bai Mu finished for him.

"Very good! Confident!"

Meng Shenji declared loudly, "The test is simple. You only need to withstand the pressure I release."

As soon as he finished speaking, eight Spirit Rings rose beneath his feet—two yellow, two purple, and four black.

The next instant, terrifying pressure surged toward Bai Mu like a tidal wave!

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er showed worried expressions.

Yet Bai Mu, standing in the center, merely bent forward slightly.

"Not bad."

Meng Shenji smiled faintly. Then his black robes began to flutter without wind as he released even more powerful pressure!

"Hm?"

Bai Mu felt as though the air around him had solidified. A terrifying force pressed down on him from all directions, growing stronger and stronger!

After only a few seconds, Bai Mu's body began to tremble slightly, sweat dripping from his face.

Even a Level 30 Spirit Master would have struggled to endure that terrifying pressure for more than a few minutes.

Yet Bai Mu raised his head to look at Meng Shenji, the corners of his mouth lifting.

"Aura Break!"

The next moment, a strange power spread from his body, instantly shattering the pressure closing in on him!

Bai Mu's slightly bent back straightened once more.

"Hm?!"

Meng Shenji's expression changed slightly. Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately released even more terrifying pressure!

However, even with all his strength, he still could not affect Bai Mu in the slightest.

"Could it be... that this martial soul can ignore pressure?"

Meng Shenji glanced at Zygarde, who obediently remained beside Bai Mu, inwardly shocked.

What he did not know was that Aura Break could destroy and even reverse not only his pressure, but even the aura of Divine Beasts and the domains of powerful experts!

"Bai Mu, you're quite impressive."

A few seconds later, Meng Shenji withdrew his pressure and smiled.

"Child, would it be convenient for you to introduce yourself?"

"My name is Bai Mu. I'm from Nuoding City. I'm nine years old this year. My Innate Soul Power was Level 1, and I'm currently Level 11. My martial soul evolved once after reaching Level 10."

Bai Mu revealed information that could easily be investigated.

Nine years old! Innate Level 1 Soul Power! Level 11! Evolution!

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin exchanged looks, all of them overjoyed.

Even without the feat of killing Wolf Bandits or instantly defeating students, this was still a different kind of genius!

"Wait! Your Innate Soul Power was only Level 1?!"

Shui Yunxin was dumbfounded. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"You didn't ask, Auntie."

Bai Mu gave an embarrassed smile.

It wasn't Innate Full Soul Power. What normal person would go around showing off their Level 1 Soul Power?

"This... I was careless..."

A trace of regret flashed across Shui Yunxin's face.

Even with a Level 1 martial soul that had not evolved, he had gained nine levels in three years. Now that it had evolved, wouldn't that be incredible?

Even if he could only barely maintain this cultivation speed, he would reach Level 32 in seven years!

That might have seemed low, but for Bai Mu, who could kill Wolf Bandits at Level 11, defeating someone at Level 41 should not have been a problem, right?

That alone was more than enough for him to enter the Spirit Master Competition!

Moreover, given Bai Mu's age, he could still participate in two more competitions. If he could reach Level 40 or 50 by then, wouldn't he be unbeatable below the Spirit Saint rank?

"Xiao Mu, would you like to come with me to Skywater Academy?"

Thinking of this, she immediately grabbed Bai Mu by the shoulders and tempted him.

"I can take you as my disciple and admit you as an exception. Then, you'll be the only male student in the entire academy, and the academy will be filled with pretty older sisters!"

"Huh?"

Bai Mu blinked rapidly. There was actually such a good thing?

A man attending a girls' school—what kind of Liu Bei wish-fulfillment plot was this?!

As everyone knew, Skywater Academy only had three requirements for admitting students—girls, beauty, and water-attribute martial souls!

If he went there, he would truly be surrounded by beauties.

"Yunxin, that's not very fair of you. You've already brought Bai Mu here, so how can you take him away?"

Meng Shenji had naturally thought of this as well.

"I'm not criticizing you, Yunxin, but the three of us old men can take disciples too..."

"I think young Bai Mu is fated to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy..."

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy has plenty of pretty girls too. We've built all kinds of mimicry training grounds, so your cultivation will definitely speed up. After graduation, you can even receive a noble title. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"..."

Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin both spoke up, joining the scramble for him.

Four elders—three Soul Douluos and one Spirit Saint—argued fiercely over a tiny Level 11 Spirit Master.

The sight instantly stunned the spectators.

"It looks like we might be getting an impressive junior."

Osler said with a smile.

Yu Feng said, "Leopard, don't you think that with his combat strength, he might become our teammate in the future?"

Osler said, "That's true."

"What a peculiar fellow. The aura released by that Spirit Skill felt very comfortable. If he joins the academy later, I could pay him a visit."

Dugu Yan rested her slender index finger against her lips, thoughtfulness in her eyes.

"Bai Mu, what do you think?"

Unable to outcompete them, Shui Yunxin could only look gently at Bai Mu.

"Bai Mu, come play with us at Skywater Academy!"

Shui Yue'er enthusiastically invited him, while Shui Bing'er's eyes also shone with anticipation.

"Sorry, Auntie Yunxin, Bing'er, Yue'er. I've still decided to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Bai Mu shook his head slightly.

In a world of extraordinary power, strength was what mattered most!

As long as he had strength, what woman could he not have? He could even cosplay as Chamber Douluo.

Without strength, he could only become a useless husband in the face of powerful enemies.

Besides, only by staying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy could he better steal the Immortal Herbs.

Even if he could not steal them, he could always try digging at Yu Tianheng's foundations or something.

As a transmigrator, Bai Mu's bottom line was highly flexible.

"How could this be..."

Upon hearing that, Shui Yue'er's little face immediately fell, and Shui Bing'er sighed as well.

"So be it. You have your reasons for staying here. However, Skywater Academy's doors will always be open to you."

Shui Yunxin pulled herself together and smiled at Bai Mu.

"Thank you, Auntie Yunxin."

Bai Mu looked at the two sisters and comforted them. "We're only attending different schools. When I have the chance, I'll come see you both, Yue'er, Bing'er."

"Then you absolutely have to come. The next time we meet, you might not be our match anymore."

Shui Yue'er fiercely waved her delicate little fists twice.

"We'll wait for you."

Serious determination shone in Shui Bing'er's bright eyes.

"Good, good, good! Welcome to Heaven Dou!"

The three Commissioners laughed heartily.
