After enduring the trials, the group, led by Mu Ningwei, easily cut through the tunnel occupied by the Cave Demon Slaves and followed their original path back to the nearest city.

The mages guarding the border of the safe zone saw the disheveled young people and initially intended to mock them with their superior experience.

However, when their eyes met those of Mu Ningxue and the others, they inexplicably felt that this group of young people had an extraordinary aura.

They didn't seem like softies who had gone on a picnic after awakening their magic, only to flee back after encountering demons.

"We are students from Pearl Academy and Imperial Capital Academy on a joint training exercise. Please grant us passage."

Mu Ningwei said with a smile.

"Top students from two major academies?"

The guard mages were surprised and quickly opened the checkpoint, curiously observing the four dark cocoons suspended in the sky.

"What are these?"

Mu Ningwei lowered his gaze. "Classmates who died during the training period."

The guard mages quickly apologized. "I shouldn't have asked. Please accept my condolences."

Mo Fan and the others had strange expressions, suppressing their laughter.

The team entered the city, first taking care of their hygiene, and then, at Mu Ningwei's request, contacted their respective backing forces.

"Dad (Mom), our training is over. You have to stand up for me, that damned Song He..."

Mu Ningwei, meanwhile, was calling Leng Qing.

"Hello, what do you need me for?"

"Leng Qing, can you, with the intervention of the Military, judge some people connected to the Military?"

The other end's tone became serious. "What happened? Did you provoke the Military?"

"No, they provoked me. For the specific details, let the prisoner explain it to you."

Mu Ningwei looked at Jiang Yi and handed her the phone.

Jiang Yi's expression stiffened. She glanced at him indifferently, took the phone, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Hello, I am Jiang Yi, deputy officer to Lu Nian, executor of the Demon Plan..."

Leng Qing was silent for several seconds after listening. "I understand. Mu Ningwei, where are you now? I'll immediately notify the Chief Judge and your Mu Family Head, and then fly over to find you."

"No need to come find me, go to the Imperial Capital. I'll bring the person there."

"Okay."

Leng Qing paused for a moment, then sighed, "You've really managed to stir up a major incident without anyone knowing."

Mu Ningwei chuckled lightly. "I just feel that some people don't deserve to be in their positions. Don't you think so, Jiang Yi?"

Jiang Yi's face was stiff, her lips trembled, and she said hoarsely, "Everything you say is right."

Song He sat in the dean's office, drinking tea and reviewing the sponsorship fees from various factions, calculating how to use the money in the next six months.

Bang!

The room door was suddenly kicked open.

Leng Qing retracted her slender, sensual legs and swaggered into the room, her hips swaying.

Mu Ningwei followed behind her.

Then came Mu Qingluan, Zhao Jing, and President Liao, three influential figures representing the Mu Clan, the Zhao Clan, and the Magic Association, respectively.

Song He stared dumbfounded at the intruders. "What are you doing?"

Mu Ningwei said coldly, "Song He, your deeds have been exposed. You'll have to come with us."

Click.

Leng Qing threw out a judgment document.

"This is a judgment issued by the higher-ups of our Judgment Association, based on reports from the Noble Family Alliance, the Magic Association, and the Academy Alliance to our Judgment Association regarding your crimes."

"You'll have to come with us."

Song He's pupils contracted. He looked at the "Participation in Prohibited Human Experiments," "Harm to Innocent Academy Students," and "108 Crimes Unworthy of a Dean" on the judgment document, and cold sweat streamed down his face.

"There must be some misunderstanding!"

Zhao Jing said with some emotion, "Dean Song He, I didn't expect you to reach this day. I advise you not to resist, or President Liao and I won't be so polite."

Mu Qingluan stated, "I represent the Mu Clan. I hope you have some self-awareness. Although your future is ruined, if you cooperate actively and confess, you might be able to keep your life."

Leng Qing took out the Magic-binding Handcuffs and cuffed Song He.

"Let's go, we're heading to the Judgment Association headquarters in the Imperial Capital. Everyone is waiting for you."

The same scene unfolded at the Lu Family in Magic City.

Members related to Lu Nian, as well as the Lu Family Head, were all taken away by the Judgment Association and boarded a special plane to the Imperial Capital.

On the Supreme Court of the Judgment Association, the atmosphere was solemn and respectful.

The Southern Commander Hua Zhanhong, Judgment Association Chief Instructor Feng Li, Magic Association President Liao, representatives from the Mu Family, representatives from the Zhao Family, and other high-ranking officials took their seats one after another.

On the judgment platform, Song He, the Lu Family, and others looked at Jiang Yi, whose face was ashen.

Jiang Yi glanced at Mu Ningwei, who was whispering and laughing with Mu Nujiao in the spectator seats, and then confessed his crimes.

"Song He leaked the whereabouts of students from two academies to Lu Nian..."

Song He's face turned pale, and he understood why he had been brought here.

Lu Nian was truly venomous!

"Lu Zhenghe provided us with a signal..."

The Head of the Lu Family's eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted from anger.

"The above is the entire process of the incident. I plead guilty to all the charges pointed out by the Judgment Association."

Jiang Yi said calmly.

"That scoundrel Lu Nian!"

Hua Zhanhong said angrily, "Jiang Yi, you aided and abetted evil. According to the Military Court, you shall be sentenced to death!"

Feng Li said sternly, "The crimes of the others will be judged later. Song He and the Lu Family must compensate the victims."

Hua Zhanhong's face darkened. "I have no objections."

As for Song He and the Head of the Lu Family, they were eager to offer generous compensation to quell the victims' anger and have their sentences removed.

Mu Zhanxing also arrived in the Imperial Capital and brought Mu Ningwei and Mu Nujiao to meet representatives from various parties.

Mu Ningwei had resolved Lu Nian and the Giant Lizard Pseudo Dragon, protected Mu Ningxue and the others from death, and thwarted Lu Nian's evil plan. The forces behind Mu Ningxue and the others expressed their gratitude.

This social interaction would bring immense benefits to the Mu Family, and Mu Ningwei did not refuse.

Once everything settled down, Mu Ningwei, along with the other two and Leng Qing, boarded a plane back to Magic City.

On the way, Leng Qing explained the outcome:

"Song He committed a major dereliction of duty. Under the impeachment of various parties, he resigned as dean and will need to compensate you."

"The Lu Family decisively cut ties with Lu Nian and Lu Zhenghe, paying a large amount of resources. They are severely wounded, making it difficult to cultivate Super Tier mages for at least ten years. Lu Zhenghe was sentenced to life imprisonment."

"The Military also promised to compensate you."

Except for Mo Fan, who was a commoner and directly received a sum of resources as compensation.

The others had backgrounds, and the compensation fell to their respective forces, naturally resulting in them receiving more.

Mu Ningwei saw Mu Zhanxing smiling like a chrysanthemum and knew that the Mu Family had definitely made a huge profit this time.

Leng Qing smiled gently. "Speaking of which, Mu Ningwei, I have to thank you."

"Participating in such a major trial will add a significant feather to my cap. I estimate I'll be promoted when I return."

Mu Ningwei clasped his fists. "Then congratulations on becoming the Deputy Chief Judge. You'll have to take care of your old friend in the future."

Leng Qing chuckled. "Consider it a favor I owe you. Including the matter of clearing out Black Pepper Court last time, I already owe you two favors. Feel free to ask if you need anything."

"I will."

Back in Magic City.

Mu Ningwei accompanied Mu Nuxin to watch a movie, and then he and Mu Nujiao went to the Mu Family.

Mu Zhanxing was very excited. Especially after learning that Mu Ningwei intended to break through to the Super Tier, he happily grabbed his hand:

"Ningwei, I knew this day would come. The Military's compensation specifically requested a Heart Crystal dropped by a Light Element Monarch, which can increase the probability of breaking through to the Super Tier by 20% and can be used in conjunction with the Star Sea Heavenly Veins."

"I just didn't expect you to be able to break through so soon."

"I'll take you to the family's cultivation grounds immediately!"

Mu Ningwei sat cross-legged in the Mu Family's cultivation grounds, holding the Star Sea Heavenly Veins with the Light Element Monarch Heart Crystal on his lap. He felt the surging, pure energy within and curled his lips.

This was the benefit of choosing Light Element as his primary cultivation.

As one of the most common elemental systems, which force didn't store Light Element resources?

The Mu Family's three high-level, top-tier Light Element resources helped Mu Ningwei complete the accumulation for High-level full cultivation within a month.

With the Light Element Monarch Heart Crystal from the Military's compensation and the Star Sea Heavenly Veins, the bottleneck for breaking through to the Super Tier was almost nonexistent!

Mu Ningwei refined the resources and used his Faith Divine Power. His consciousness flew into the divine plane and he saw the holy and beautiful Heavenly Mother.

"Sister Athena, I'm about to break through to the Super Tier. Help me awaken a powerful transcendent power!"

Sacrifice for Xianyu's book!
