Before long, the two tables were laden with food.

"Relax. Make yourselves at home."

"You've all had a long day. Once you're done eating, go upstairs and get some rest. We'll be leaving early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Mu Chen picked up his chopsticks first.

"Teacher, try this. I ordered it especially for you. I heard it's good for your health."

Zhu Zhuqing courteously served Mu Chen some food.

Mu Chen glanced at the dish, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Eating something doesn't make it good for you. This dish won't help, and I don't need any help either."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't seem to care. She just blinked her big eyes at Mu Chen, looking as if he had to eat it.

Mu Chen had no choice but to try a bite.

However.

The moment it touched his tongue, its awful flavor exploded in his mouth.

"It's delicious. I'll take it back and savor it later."

Before Mu Chen had finished speaking, he had already stored the dish in his system space, so the system could try it.

Seeing the strange look on Mu Chen's face, Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth and chuckled, then said no more.

"You had a good time last night, huh?"

Ning Rongrong leaned close to Zhu Zhuqing's ear and whispered so only the two of them could hear.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced sideways at Ning Rongrong. The mischievous smile on Ning Rongrong's face made her cheeks turn red.

"What are you two whispering about?"

"Tell me, too!"

Xiao Wu frowned at the pair, who were whispering to each other with inexplicable smiles on their faces. They looked downright strange and lecherous.

Mu Chen coughed lightly and served Xiao Wu some food. "Don't be so curious. Hurry up and eat."

The others hadn't noticed or listened closely, and their cultivation was too low, so none of them had heard. But Mu Chen's cultivation was high enough for him to catch what Ning Rongrong had said.

Sometimes, he couldn't help but marvel.

Ning Rongrong really did have a certificate in social fearlessness, and she spoke with startling bluntness.

At the other table, the three of them were also devouring their food. Even Ma Hongjun, with his bottomless appetite, couldn't outcompete Dai Mubai.

A short while later, when both tables had nearly finished eating and everyone was getting ready to leave, a group of eight walked in. At their head was a middle-aged man with handsome features and sleek, shining hair. They were all dressed in moon-white fitted uniforms embroidered with silver thread that glittered under the lights. Each wore a badge on their chest, bearing the words "Canghui."

"So shiny. So showy..."

Mu Chen marveled to himself. Canghui Academy really was wealthy—even the patterns on their clothes were embroidered in silver thread.

"Canghui..."

Tang San noticed the badges on the eight newcomers and sensed Soul Power fluctuations from each of them. Curious, he asked:

"Teacher, is Canghui an academy?"

Mu Chen nodded slightly. "Canghui Academy is an advanced Soul Master Academy. Its teaching staff is somewhere above average among the advanced Soul Master Academies."

"It's just a little Canghui Academy. What's so special about it?" Dai Mubai said disdainfully, casting a sidelong glance at the group of eight.

"Boss Dai, look at that chick. She's pretty hot!" Ma Hongjun stared at the only girl among the eight, wearing a sleazy, lecherous grin.

"Can't you keep your mouth in check?" Mu Chen glared at him. The terrifying pressure he released made Ma Hongjun shut up at once.

Dai Mubai also dropped his arrogant attitude.

The group of eight had been somewhat angry at first, but now their anger vanished. They all looked toward Mu Chen, and the only girl among them gazed at him with infatuation, staring fixedly.

"You've got nothing better to do?"

"Get upstairs and go to sleep!"

Mu Chen fixed Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai with a cold stare.

"Yes!"

Ma Hongjun didn't dare act up. He got to his feet and left.

Dai Mubai was seething with resentment, but he didn't dare defy Mu Chen, so he could only leave with a dark expression.

Oscar had no choice but to follow.

"Those two are always causing trouble." Tang San glanced at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, frowning slightly.

The Tang Sect's rules: Don't provoke trouble, but don't be afraid of it.

Mu Chen had also always taught him to be careful when traveling and never pick a fight carelessly. Otherwise, he might die without even knowing who had killed him.

"Teacher, can we switch to another academy? I don't want to stay at Shrek anymore!"

Xiao Wu looked disgusted and disdainful. If Ma Hongjun had said something so rude to her just now, with that kind of expression, she would have taught him how to behave.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.

She didn't want to stay at Shrek Academy anymore either. It wasn't just because the academy was in poor condition; she also couldn't bear the thought of seeing Dai Mubai's face again.

Before, she had never met Dai Mubai in person, and they had only corresponded by letter. After seeing his character for herself, she despised him even more.

Besides, she had only just broken off her engagement to Dai Mubai. There was no way she could treat him like an ordinary person.

"Let me think about it."

"You all go upstairs and rest first."

Mu Chen waved them off.

The others left as well. After all, they had been on the road all day and were exhausted.

"From what you just said, it's clear you know something about our Canghui Academy. If you don't mind, perhaps you could consider joining us."

"I'm Ye Zhiqiu, director of external affairs at Canghui Academy."

Ye Zhiqiu could tell Mu Chen was no ordinary person. Smiling warmly, he stepped forward and extended the invitation.

"A Soul King. Not bad."

"I'll consider Canghui Academy."

Mu Chen nodded slightly, his expression calm.

Ye Zhiqiu was startled.

He hadn't released his Soul Rings or Martial Soul. How had Mu Chen identified his cultivation level?

What terrifying strength!

He was not someone to provoke!

"Shopkeeper!"

"Put these people's bill on my tab!"

Ye Zhiqiu called out.

"No need."

"I don't like owing people."

After paying, Mu Chen stood and left.

"Director, that man is so handsome!"

The only girl among the eight hurried closer, watching Mu Chen's retreating figure and speaking excitedly.

Ye Zhiqiu and the other six young men all twitched at the corners of their mouths.

"Love-struck fool! Get a grip!"

"When we're out, we represent Canghui Academy. Don't disgrace the academy!"

At that, the girl finally reined herself in.

She felt as if she was already wet...

After returning to his room, Mu Chen didn't rest. Instead, he used Instant Teleportation to cross thousands of miles and arrive at Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City.

In the middle of a dense forest stood a courtyard, surrounded by flowers in every color. A delicate, exquisitely beautiful middle-aged woman stood in the courtyard, raising a hand to gaze toward the Full Moon slowly rising on the horizon.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen's sudden appearance startled the beautiful woman. She immediately completed Martial Soul Possession, and seven Soul Rings appeared around her: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

She was about to speak, but when her eyes met Mu Chen's bright, piercing gaze, she froze.

Seeing the beautiful woman before him, Mu Chen felt a flicker of admiration. It wasn't that she had a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms; rather, her fragile, heart-tugging air and the melancholy between her brows made him want to look at her twice.

More importantly...

The beautiful woman before him was the strongest person here.

"Sorry, I came to the wrong place."

Mu Chen released his Radiant Dragon King Martial Soul, and in an instant, light bathed his entire body.

A vast dragon's might swept outward.

The beautiful woman felt it most clearly: an oppressive force that made her want to submit from the depths of her soul.

Mu Chen spotted the buildings in the distance and prepared to fly over and inspect them.

Once he found a Soul Ring for Tang San, he planned to bring everyone to Blue Tyrant Academy. Before that, he needed to get himself an identity; it would make things more convenient later.

"Wait!"

Seeing him move, the beautiful woman immediately released her Martial Soul and struggled into the air to block his way.

Only then...

did she remember that she was the dean.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you break into my Blue Tyrant Academy in the middle of the night?"
