Taking Advantage?

Jiang Mu, who had just left, looked at the revenge list, curiosity appearing on his face.

"The killing intent rose that fast?"

There was something strange about this killing intent.

Huo Yuhao, who had sought revenge in the early days, had indeed been pitiful. But the Huo Yuhao who later chose to forgive his enemies had also proven that he deserved to suffer like that.

Yet normally, he should have been extremely self-abased, with no possibility of having much contact with Jiang Mu.

But now...

Something had definitely changed!

This was even higher than Tang San's killing intent. Tang San only had ninety, yet Huo Yuhao had reached ninety-nine.

Combined with his reaction to Dorm 108 just now—the dorm that belonged to Wang Dong'er—

His reaction had been enormous. It was not hard to guess.

The only Huo Yuhao who could react like that was the one who later awakened the Dong'er Longing Fist!

Had he awakened his memories, or perhaps reincarnated?

As a transmigrator himself, such possibilities instantly surfaced in Jiang Mu's mind.

Still, he could not grasp any concrete clues. At most, he only had an impression and a guess. But no matter what it was, the killing intent on the revenge list was real.

It seemed there was another person who would be offering up their blood essence.

As they walked, Tang Ya secretly glanced sideways at the silent Jiang Mu. A trace of worry appeared on her pretty face, but she still forced herself to comfort him.

"Hehe, Xiao Mu, don't take it to heart. If Bei Bei comes looking for trouble with you, come find me anytime, or use the hidden weapons I taught you to protect yourself."

"Oh, right, he has hidden weapons too. To keep him from playing dirty, I'll teach you a few ways to counter them."

Tang Ya held one hand behind her back, above her hips, while the other held Jiang Mu's hand without any sign of letting go. Her tone was exceptionally gentle.

"Alright."

Jiang Mu came back to his senses and nodded. It was not as though he truly cared about methods for countering hidden weapons; he simply did not want to reject Tang Ya's goodwill.

"Mm, let's look at your dorm first. Classes haven't officially started yet. Come to the inn where I'm staying tonight, and I'll teach you."

After saying that, Tang Ya did not continue the topic. She pulled Jiang Mu toward the freshmen dormitory building.

Outside the freshmen dormitory building,

"This is the freshmen dormitory building!"

Tang Ya also took on the role of a guide, explaining things to Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu looked at the enormous freshmen dormitory building and nodded. It really was a little better than he had expected.

But only a little. He had not come here because he genuinely wanted to attend school.

"Mm~"

As he considered whether to lower his head and see if that fixed NPC was sitting there—

He lowered his head, but did not see an old man. He only saw a young man.

Wang Dong'er?

Wang Dong'er, disguised as Wang Dong, had clearly noticed Jiang Mu as well.

He tossed his short pinkish-blue hair and struck an extremely showy pose. Yet his disguised appearance was undeniably stunning, and the girls around him immediately began screaming.

"Ahhh!!!"

"So handsome!"

Wang Dong quickly approached. Once he was close, he pointed at Jiang Mu and spoke.

"You really came. I knew you were a new student at Shrek Academy. Come to the dueling arena with me. I want to bet on a duel with you. The wager will be that butterfly accessory."

"Who's that? Is he a new student too?"

"Wow, he's not bad-looking either."

"Doesn't he already have a girl beside him? How could it be your turn?"

"It's fine, I don't mind."

"Huh?"

The surrounding voices did not affect Jiang Mu. He looked Wang Dong'er up and down. The moment he arrived, he wanted to gamble on a duel, not giving the other party any chance to explain.

The expression on Jiang Mu's face slowly turned helpless. Did he really need to fuss over such a tiny accessory for so long?

An entire night had already passed.

[Wang Dong'er, Soul Elder, Killing Intent Index: 35%, Current True Index: 5.]

But it seemed that one night had not passed without changes. Wang Dong'er no longer wanted to kill him.

"You were so generous last night. That stall owner will probably set up shop again tonight and make several more butterflies specifically for you. Why obsess over the one in my hand?"

"Besides, I already gave the butterfly accessory I bought to someone else."

Since the other party's genuine killing intent had decreased, Jiang Mu did not make things too difficult for her. He answered calmly instead.

Wang Dong'er had been so generous last night that everyone nearby had heard about it. Someone would definitely make them specifically for him.

"Hmph, I don't care. I want the one in your hand. Even if you gave it away, that won't do!"

Wang Dong indeed retained his personality of targeting others. With his arms folded across his chest, he refused to reason at all.

"Wow, so domineering!"

When the starry-eyed girls around them heard Wang Dong say that, their eyes lit up. He seemed so domineering, so impressive. Their hearts were racing!

But some people would naturally find it annoying. Tang Ya, in particular, rolled her eyes when she saw the scene before her. She felt the other person was an idiot—a willful idiot.

"Forget it, Xiao Mu. Don't talk to this kind of person. I'll take you to your dorm."

Jiang Mu truly did not want to communicate much with the willful Wang Dong either. He prepared to leave, out of sight and out of mind.

But Wang Dong seemed completely unaware of how infuriatingly willful he was being. He directly blocked Jiang Mu and Tang Ya's path.

"What, are you scared?"

Jiang Mu activated the revenge switch exclusive to Wang Dong'er. His hand moved to his own waist and slowly began to feel upward.

At the same time, Wang Dong'er suddenly felt as though someone had grabbed her waist and was slowly stroking upward.

It was exactly the same as what she had encountered last night!

It was like she had run into a ghost. Worse yet, it did not stop—it was still moving upward.

"N... don't."

Wang Dong'er's face instantly turned red. Her lips trembled as she softly replied, trying to stop him.

This strange reaction made the surrounding people curious.

"What's wrong?"

"Heartthrob, you're not sick, are you?"

Only when Jiang Mu saw that she was too flustered to stop them did he slowly stop.

"If you're really sick, go see a doctor early. Don't stand in front of us clutching your stomach and bending over."

With that, he simply left.

Just as he was about to step into the freshmen dormitory, the old man seated in a chair spoke.

"Hehe, after all, her martial soul is that. It's only natural that she would care a little. Be more understanding and tolerant. You'll be roommates in the future, after all."

The old man smiled amiably, but his words sounded entirely like a riddle, leaving people baffled.

Jiang Mu raised an eyebrow. This should be Mu En, the strongest NPC.

Was there some hidden meaning in his words? Could he have seen Jiang Mu's actions?

But even if he had seen them, how could he connect the two? He was probably just trying to persuade him because the other party was a girl.

"I don't strike without reason. But if he provokes me like this, how could I keep enduring it?"

"Hehe, that's good. You'll be roommates, after all. Be more tolerant..."

After speaking, Mu En withdrew his gaze and simply narrowed his eyes as he looked toward Wang Dong'er.

"Strange."

Tang Ya tilted her head. Unable to understand, she said nothing more. She pulled Jiang Mu into the freshmen dormitory building and ran toward Room 108.
