Ning Xue: The Sense of Security Mu Ningwei Brings is Ten Times That of a Father

Bell Demon Grass is a reconnaissance demon plant cultivated by Mu Nujiao using the Bell Demon Seed, under the tutelage of Mu Ningwei. It reacts to high-temperature sources by swaying and chiming, acting as a heat-sensitive alarm.

Thanks to Mu Nujiao tirelessly planting a circle of Bell Demon Grass, the team was able to react in time and engage the Commander-level mages, taking advantage of the camp's defenses.

Mu Ningwei had initially expected them to be quickly routed. After all, the training students numbered only 16, with Mu Ningwei himself sidelined and three students suspended in mid-air, leaving only 12 active combatants. Their opponents, however, numbered a full 60.

To his surprise, Mu Ningxue and the others held their ground, fighting back and forth with their opponents. Mu Ningxue pushed deep into enemy territory, her Ice Domain covering half the battlefield, drastically reducing the magic power of enemies within its bounds. With Zhao Manyan providing defense, she single-handedly held off twenty to thirty opponents. Mu Nujiao constructed a defensive line with her advanced Plant Magic, reaching level three. Coupled with a Pseudo-Terror Demon Servant raised through a special secret method, which possessed the strength of a minor General Level after consuming the corpse of an old Pseudo-Terror Demon, they barely managed to protect the camp.

Mo Fan also displayed incredible power. During this time, he had been slaughtering demon beasts, and through the Little Mud Dragon pendant, he had already strengthened his Primary Magic, Thunder Seal, and Primary Magic, Fire Seed, to level four. Mo Fan transformed into a magic machine gun, bombarding the enemy relentlessly and disrupting their formations.

More importantly, the 60 Commander-level mages were of poor quality. Only 30 were Intermediate Mages, and most were only Intermediate Level One, lacking Spirit Seeds. Mu Ningwei watched the spectacle with his chin propped in his hand, feeling embarrassed for them. Lu Nian, on the other hand, watched with amusement, casually unleashing a few Intermediate Magic spells that shattered Mu Nujiao's defenses, injured several people, and then injured Mu Ningxue, showcasing terrifying strength. The team was forced to retreat and huddle around Mu Ningwei, truly surrounded.

"Not bad, very not bad." Lu Nian applauded. "I admire you all. You truly are top students, the future of society."

Jiang Yi's expression was grim. He let out a sigh of relief when he realized Lu Nian wasn't going to punish them, then said with a dark face, "Hand over Mo Fan!"

"Our target is Mo Fan. It has nothing to do with the rest of you." Lu Nian crossed his arms leisurely, wanting to see how this group of talented students would choose. Though, he thought, they would all die anyway. Lu Nian was brimming with confidence.

"Me?" Mo Fan asked, bewildered as all eyes turned to him. "I don't have any beef with Commander-level mages. Not only do I not have beef with them, I even call one of them 'brother'."

"Alright, there's no need to dwell on the enemy's intentions. Just know that they are enemies." Mu Ningwei clapped his hands. "Now, let's talk about your performance."

Mu Ningxue, whose body was covered in bloody gashes from being hit by rocks and was currently being treated by Bai Tingting, pursed her lips at his words and lowered her head in disappointment. "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

The others also lowered their heads. They had lost, and they would all be judged as "dead," leading to mission failure. Mu Ningxue's dejected look was rare. She clenched the hem of her clothes, appearing like a wronged little sister next door needing comfort, lacking her usual aloofness.

Mu Ningwei chuckled. "Lift your heads. You did nothing wrong."

"Not only that, your performance this time was outstanding. Even though you were caught off guard, you still made calm judgments, left the camp alone to deploy your domain, and bore the brunt of the pressure. The team didn't collapse, and we were able to hold our ground because of your excellent decision-making."

Mu Ningxue looked up in surprise, her eyes widening as she gazed at the gentle praise on Mu Ningwei's clear and handsome face. A hint of a happy smile bloomed, like a proud mountain flower radiating dazzling beauty. Mo Fan was stunned.

Mu Ningwei gently patted Mu Nujiao's head and smiled. "And Nujiao, it's all thanks to the Bell Demon Grass you worked so hard to plant that we could detect the enemy in advance. You deserve the greatest credit this time." Mu Nujiao beamed, her chest puffing out proudly as she glanced sideways at Mu Ningxue. Her charming demeanor made Mu Ningwei find her very cute.

"Next is Mo Fan."

"Me too?" Mo Fan asked in surprise.

"Of course. Your performance was also excellent. You tied down many enemies and were the only one, besides Mu Ningxue, capable of inflicting damage on the enemy. If the enemy's High-level mages hadn't intervened, with Mu Ningxue tied up by twenty to thirty people, the team would have had to rely on you to turn the tide. The key to victory or defeat rested entirely on you."

Mo Fan laughed heartily. "That's the strength of your great Mo Fan! Xuexue, you praise me too!"

Mu Ningxue glanced at Mu Ningwei. "Mo Fan, you are very strong now."

"Hahahaha!" Mo Fan's tail was practically in the sky!

Mu Ningwei then praised several others for their brilliant performances and criticized a few for their mistakes, leaving some happy and others crestfallen.

"What are you guys doing?"

Lu Nian, who had been holding his arms, lowered them at some point, narrowing his eyes, which were filled with a chilling intensity.

Mu Ningxue and the others glanced at him.

Hmph, ignore him.

Who's this old man?

Don't get in the way of us listening to "Teacher Mu Ningwei" speak.

Do you know how hard it is to get a compliment from "Teacher Mu Ningwei" normally?

Go wherever it's cool and stay there.

Lu Nian realized he was being ignored, and even disliked by Bai Tingting and Mu Nujiao, two young girls. Veins bulged on his forehead, and he was utterly enraged.

Ever since reaching the High-level, he had never been subjected to such humiliation!

"Ignorant brats who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Since that's the case, then all of you shall die!"

Earth-brown constellations were constructed, and star charts were formed into three-dimensional constellations, emitting magnificent and colorful light and shadow that illuminated the night sky.

A terrifying aura spread. Lu Nian's pupils turned brown, flashing with a heavy, gray deathly radiance, and he stared fixedly at Mu Ningxue.

This beautiful genius who had given him such a great shock was about to perish at this very moment!

Mu Ningxue felt the threat of death and suddenly turned her head, her pupils widening abruptly.

High-level magic?!

I'm going to die!

Mu Ningxue panicked.

What on earth made her turn her back to a High-level mage without any defense?

"Rock Demon Eye · Petrification! Die!"

Lu Nian roared with a sinister grin.

Mu Ningxue's face was filled with panic. She didn't even have time to draw her ice bow. Was she really going to die here--

A fair, white palm suddenly appeared before her eyes, emitting a pure white, sacred halo.

Mu Ningxue's eyes widened.

The petrification power of the Rock Demon Eye was blocked by the fair, white palm.

The terrifying might of the High-level magic caused a patch of petrification in the center of the palm, but it was quickly dispelled by the holy light, repeating in a cycle.

Lu Nian's eyes widened, bulging, and became bloodshot.

The petrification power could only leave a small stone-like spot on the palm.

Finally, the magic power was exhausted, and Lu Nian's pupils returned to their normal color.

The gray spot on the palm also disappeared, leaving it as fair as before.

Lu Nian found it hard to believe.

What the hell is this!?

The petrification power of a dignified High-level, capable of heavily injuring Commander-level demons and turning them into statues, a terrifying magic.

It was treated by Mu Ningwei's Light Element as a mere negative status effect and easily purified.

The blessing of Athena's Kiss was truly this overbearing!

"Who gave you the guts to try and kill someone I'm protecting?"

Mu Ningwei stood in front of Mu Ningxue, his body radiating pure white, holy radiance.

He turned his head, his face as holy as an angel's, and a confident, spirited smile bloomed:

"With me here, he can't harm you in the slightest."

Mu Ningxue's eyes were dazed for a moment, a strong sense of security enveloping her entire body. It seemed even the chill in her soul had receded somewhat.

That's right, it was this feeling of reassurance that made Mu Ningxue trust Mu Ningwei immensely, causing her to overlook Lu Nian's danger.

The facts proved that Mu Ningxue's trust was well-placed.

"Mu Ningwei..."

Mu Ningxue silently murmured the name.

Just thinking of the person that name represented brought Mu Ningxue an unprecedented sense of ease.

Even the sense of security her father, Mu Zhuoyun, gave her didn't amount to a tenth of what Mu Ningwei provided.

Mu Ningwei felt a surge of strong Faith Power and chuckled as he looked at Mu Ningxue:

"Calling me?"

"..."

Mu Ningxue's gaze drifted, avoiding his eyes.

Tianbing: The results will be out this afternoon, based on the follow-up rankings.

I won't say anything else. Let's see if what I've written is powerful enough, and how much support you brothers give.
