Unofficial History of Mu Jin

Teacher Mu, I intend to establish an academy. You don't necessarily have to be actively involved, Teacher Mu; just lending your name to it will suffice.

Huo Yuhao pondered to himself as he said this.

It was certainly impossible to make Mu Jin abandon Shrek Academy outright. It was better to have her lend her name to the project first, then slowly boil the frog, infiltrating her position bit by bit.

Huo Yuhao didn't believe that with his abilities, poaching Mu Jin would be much of a problem.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao directly questioned the system.

"Hey, System, your rules didn't specify, right? It doesn't say they have to join completely. As long as they join and have the title, that counts, right? There aren't any hidden footnotes or anything like that?"

[System...]

The system hesitated.

A moment later: [Ding, fine...]

As the system spoke, its mechanical voice carried a rare hint of hesitation.

Huo Yuhao's brow twitched upon hearing this. This could be considered exploiting a minor bug, but as long as it worked, it was fine.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jin frowned slightly, but a moment later, she smiled.

"Huo Yuhao, I previously wanted you to join my Class 5, and now you're setting your sights on me. You have quite the ambition."

Huo Yuhao flashed a smile and probed, "So, is that a no?"

Mu Jin took a deep breath.

A moment later, Mu Jin gave a direct refusal: "No."

Immediately after, Mu Jin seemed to think of something else; her tone shifted, and her attitude turned a bit colder.

"Although you promised me that you wouldn't act out during the student assessment in three months and would keep a low profile, to prevent you from going back on your word, I will keep an eye on your performance in the battle three months from now and observe your weaknesses."

Huo Yuhao was stunned; he hadn't expected Mu Jin to say such a thing.

Truly, for the sake of this love, she was quite willing to go to great lengths.

It was hard to judge.

After Mu Jin finished speaking, she had no intention of chatting with Huo Yuhao any further. She let out a cold snort, swayed her hips, and left the area.

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, and he immediately asked the system.

"Hey, System, does that uncut version of The Peerless Tang Sect have a standalone story about Mu Jin?"

[System: Ding, yes, uncut version chapter 28 -- The Heart-Wrenching Mu Jin.]

[However, due to the explicit nature of the content, it was not released through official channels.]

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and immediately began browsing the content of that "harmonized" chapter.

Before long, Huo Yuhao gasped; he had to admit, there was a reason for the "harmonization."

Three days later, a student with average aptitude in the class led by Mu Jin was set to obtain a soul ring.

Although Mu Jin was a bit stubborn when it came to love, judging by this incident, she was actually a decent person.

She didn't discriminate against students based on their talent; as long as they were in her class, she would be responsible for them until the end. This quality was worthy of praise.

Of course, that was excluding her love-struck brain.

However, an accident occurred while they were obtaining the soul ring.

They were supposed to hunt a monkey-type soul beast around two or three hundred years old, but a mutated ape approaching twenty thousand years of cultivation suddenly appeared.

Furthermore, apes are pack-dwelling soul beasts, and other ape-type soul beasts quickly arrived to attack. The situation spiraled out of control, and Mu Jin was unfortunately poisoned.

Fortunately, no major catastrophe occurred in the end, but the subsequent plot was explosive.

That soul beast, known as a Silver Ape, had a peculiar fetish for women and actually tried to abduct Mu Jin to commit lewd acts.

After being poisoned, Mu Jin was captured.

During this time, quite a few ambiguous and suggestive events occurred, including detailed descriptions of Mu Jin's figure and movements—it was truly intense.

However, it was merely descriptive and didn't lead to any irreversible consequences.

But thinking about the author's writing style, it felt within reason.

Huo Yuhao quickly thought of a solution.

Although Mu Jin was safe and sound, there would inevitably be some embarrassment and lingering trauma.

If he could step in and help, he could at least prevent Mu Jin from falling into such an awkward predicament.

However, just as Huo Yuhao was thinking this, another voice suddenly came over.

"Huo Yuhao, what are you doing?"

The person speaking was none other than Zhou Yi.

At this moment, Zhou Yi still wore that cold, old-lady expression, appearing ruthless and solemn.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao pulled back his thoughts and said, "Nothing much, just thinking about some minor matters."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi nodded.

"Where is Liu Erlong?"

Huo Yuhao replied, "Sister Liu is walking toward the faculty office; she should be arriving there soon."

Zhou Yi nodded again. Thinking of the instructions Mu En had given her, she spoke up.

"Yuhao, I'll go find Liu Erlong in a moment. The issue of building the academy shouldn't be a problem."

"Also, since today is the first day of school, you are free to do as you please. There is still enrollment going on outside, and after I finish meeting with Liu Erlong, I still need to go check on the admissions. So, just stay in the classroom once you get there, and don't run around."

As Zhou Yi spoke, she glanced at Xiao Wu, who had been standing obediently by Huo Yuhao's side the entire time.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded.

According to the storyline, Huo Yuhao was enrolling today, and tonight he would be assigned to the same dormitory as Wang Dong and get into a fight.

Tomorrow, Zhou Yi would first ask who had been fighting, then make everyone stand up, berate those who didn't fight as cowards, and subsequently order everyone to run.

After that, those who had fought, like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, would also have to run.

However, the current Huo Yuhao had no intention of following that predetermined path. He thought for a moment and spoke up.

"Teacher Zhou, may I discuss something with you? I heard from Nannan that Shrek Academy has a rule allowing for leave of absence. As long as one passes every assessment successfully, the academy won't interfere too much."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi frowned. Her already stern, elderly face became even more serious.

"What are you trying to do? Why take a leave of absence? There is a wealth of knowledge to learn in the academy, and it provides you with an excellent environment for cultivation. Why would you want to take leave?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, feeling a bit speechless in his heart upon hearing this.

The learning environment at Shrek Academy was one thing, but as for the quality of instruction...

Zhou Yi had inherited advanced teaching theories from ten thousand years ago, with running as the primary method...

Huo Yuhao immediately replied, "It's like this, Teacher Zhou. I have my own set of training methods. My way is to cultivate until I'm half-dead; I must experience life and death to gain insights in battle and improve my soul power."

"I feel this kind of teaching is too gentle. I can't even die if I want to, so I want something more stimulating and dangerous. This can be considered a way to force myself to become stronger."

As he said this, Huo Yuhao wore an appropriately positive and fearless expression on his face.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi frowned again and fell into a long contemplation.

A moment later, Zhou Yi shook her head slightly and said with a cold face.

"Huo Yuhao, I will not agree to your leave of absence, but if you can meet my requirements, I can relax my teaching standards for you."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "How exactly would you relax the teaching?"

The corner of Zhou Yi's mouth curled up: "Why don't you ask what requirements I need you to meet?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned, then smiled: "I feel that I can meet the requirements Teacher Zhou sets."

Zhou Yi looked deeply at Huo Yuhao. A moment later, she didn't hesitate and said directly.

"The first requirement: run 200 laps around the teaching building without using soul power, and I will add weight to you."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched upon hearing this. How could it still be the same old routine of running laps?

Immediately after, Huo Yuhao looked at Zhou Yi's teaching building and fell into a brief contemplation.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath: "Fine. Although it will be very tiring, I can give it a try."

Hearing this, the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth curled up. She then changed the subject and continued: "The second requirement: you must return to the academy every two days."

"The third requirement: you must rank in the top three for every semester's academic assessment."

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly upon hearing this. After thinking it over, he nodded. Returning to the academy every two days was manageable.

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao said.

"Agreed. Then, Teacher Zhou, please add the weight for me now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi didn't pay it much mind and directly took an iron vest weighing 80 jin out of her storage Soul Tool...
