CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 516: THE FIRST LESSON
This session ended with us drinking until nightfall.
Even He Bi got drunk and babbled on to Mu Can, not recalling anything he said later.
Ling Feng was carried back by He Bi.
While Luo Tian was hoisted by Mu Can, who had to harness the power of the Reincarnation Pearl to sober up a bit.
Otherwise, all of them might have ended up sleeping in the Drunken Immortal Tavern. Before going back, Mu Can didn’t forget to bring back some food for Wang Cai.
Though the drinking left him feeling crappy, Mu Can actually kind of enjoyed it, knowing that He Bi truly looked out for him.
"It seems I’ll be staying at Divine Wind Academy for a while longer, but I need to figure out a way to deal with Bai Mo."
Mu Can was resolute in his heart, deciding he’ll need to discuss strategies with Wang Cai when he gets back.
If Bai Mo dares to make a move on Mu Can, Mu Can would certainly retaliate with full force.
In the remaining two and a half years, anyone standing in the way of Mu Can’s improvement is his enemy.
Behind me is the support of an entire interface. If I don’t get stronger, the entire Three Realms are doomed.
"If you know what’s good for you, fine. If you don’t, I don’t mind having some ’fun’ with you."
Mu Can didn’t believe that he and Wang Cai couldn’t deal with a Wuwei Realm.
"Ugh..." Mu Can supported Luo Tian as they walked to the dormitory; He Bi had Luo Tian drinking until he was still throwing up now.
Shaking his head, Mu Can could only sigh helplessly.
This Luo Tian was really straightforward—chugging down every glass He Bi offered.
After settling Luo Tian, Mu Can returned to his own room.
With the Divine Artifact like Reincarnation Pearl, Mu Can’s drunkenness had mostly worn off.
"Meow?" Upon entering and seeing Wang Cai at home, Mu Can felt at peace.
He told Wang Cai about the day’s events and the changes in his own body.
After beating up Bai Mo today, Mu Can realized his cultivation speed had increased significantly.
"It’s just that you were under too much pressure, which affected your cultivation speed. Beating him and letting it all out worked wonders."
Wang Cai thought for a moment before presenting Mu Can with an answer.
"What exactly does this guy do? A member of the Demon Clan?" Wang Cai asked about Bai Mo’s background.
"He’s sixth on the Heavenly List, in the Wuwei Realm. He created an association called ’Demon Clan’ within the academy, but it has a bad reputation. Today I beat him up, and he’ll surely seek revenge."
"Demon Clan, huh? Back then, anyone in the Supreme Interface who dared to call themselves a demon got beaten by the old master until they couldn’t even look after themselves."
Wang Cai spoke with resentment.
Years ago in the Supreme Interface, a bunch of reckless fools proclaimed themselves followers of the Demon Path, only to be killed by someone from the Heavenly Dao.
Since then, no one dared to claim affiliation with the Demon Path.
"I bet he won’t dare to attack me directly but will certainly try to sabotage my missions."
Remember that in Divine Wind Academy, Academic Points are everything. Without them, cultivation pace would surely suffer a huge blow.
"There are such scumbags?" Wang Cai looked puzzled.
According to the rules of Divine Wind Academy, fighting between students was not permitted, and anyone who accidentally killed another would be hunted by Sin City, regardless of the circumstances.
Outside of some special situations, students of Divine Wind Academy hardly dared to engage in combat.
"Mhm," Hu Bing nodded. His biggest concern now was about the White Demon; after all, he couldn’t truly bother He Bi elder brother every time there was a mission.
She also felt that it wouldn’t be too disgraceful for herself.
"Don’t worry, we might not be strong enough to take on someone from the All Things Realm, but it’s not a problem to deal with someone from the Wuwei Realm as long as we plan it properly."
Wang Cai flashed a mysterious smile; no matter how Mu Can asked, he would not reveal what his plan was.
Mu Can knew that if Wang Cai wouldn’t say, there was nothing he could do, so he turned around and went to sleep groggily.
"Heh heh, if someone really dares to make a move on Mu Can, I’ll screw them over big time," Wang Cai hasn’t been idle lately. Most of the treasures he had hidden here had been retrieved by him.
He believed that if they encountered Leng Qingqiu from their past lives, they could definitely kill him within the time to burn a stick of incense, leaving him no chance to hold out for support from the All Things Realm.
...
The next day was the official start of classes for the new students, and Luo Tian also got up early.
"How much did I drink yesterday?" Upon seeing Mu Can, the first question Luo Tian asked was this.
Mu Can gestured a single finger to Luo Tian.
"One cup? Impossible," Luo Tian said, shaking his head.
"One bottle? I remember having more than one bottle," Luo Tian then negated his own guess.
"Just kept drinking," Mu Can said indifferently while looking at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian was the one who held on the longest at the drinking table yesterday apart from He Bi. Until Mu Can carried him away, he was still clutching the table leg, insisting on continuing to drink.
"Let’s go, today is the first day of classes, I have to report to the dean early."
Mu Can and Luo Tian left together. On the first day of class, everyone had to report to their respective teachers.
Following yesterday’s memory, Mu Can arrived at the dean’s private courtyard.
The other elder brothers had already arrived early, waiting for Mu Can.
Today was Mu Can’s first day of entry, and all the elder brothers who could come were gathered here.
They were all looking at Mu Can with great interest; they had heard about Mu Can’s glorious deed of beating up the White Demon yesterday.
The strength of the sixth-ranked on the Heavenly List was not something that ordinary people could defeat.
The dean gave a brief introduction.
The dean had taken on ten disciples, and Mu Can was now the youngest junior brother.
Among these ten disciples, one had already broken through to the All Things Realm and was now exploring the unpopulated areas, unable to return.
Of the nine others, apart from Mu Can, the eight were all in the Wuwei Realm, almost all of them figures on the Heavenly List.
This also proved, in a way, the dean’s level in teaching disciples, as there was a saying circulating in the Divine Wind Academy.
No matter what your talent is, as long as you can become a disciple under the dean, you will definitely leave your name on the Heavenly List.
"Well done, as long as what you do is within the rules, I will be your staunchest backer," the dean said, patting Mu Can gently on the shoulder, obviously very satisfied with Mu Can’s victory over the White Demon yesterday.
"This will be your junior brother from now on. As fellow sect members, you must look out for each other. Ling Feng, you were the previous junior brother; explain some of the rules to Mu Can later."
After the introductions, the dean began Mu Can’s first lesson.
The content of the first lesson was very simple—so simple that Mu Can could understand it directly.
But precisely because it was simple, the thoughts sparked by the lesson brought Mu Can a great deal of benefit.
Seeing that the elder brothers beside him also seemed to have gained something, Mu Can was inwardly surprised. It seemed that the dean’s class did indeed have some kind of magical power.
