Chaotic Sword Emperor

Chapter 50 – Gathering, list

Under the Purple Orchid, the taste was sweeter than imagined, requiring little chewing, like a trace of honey sliding down the throat.

"Not bad."

"Hmph!"

Just as Su Mu was savoring the taste of the Purple Orchid, he suddenly felt a massive force erupt within his body, crashing through his meridians like a wild beast!

In other rooms, all the new students were awake, consuming Purple Orchids to enhance their cultivation. Their faces contorted in pain, some even wailing in agony, unable to endure the suffering.

In contrast, Su Mu's expression remained unchanged. Compared to having his Dantian dug out and opening his Sword Vein, this was child's play.

"Two drops of Primordial Liquid."

After refining one Purple Orchid, Su Mu frowned slightly. One flower only yielded two drops. Three flowers wouldn't be enough to break through a realm; it was truly insufficient.

"I've utilized the Purple Orchid to its fullest, absorbing all its medicinal effects." He shook his head with a bitter smile. Due to his Sword Vein, he wasted none of the Purple Orchid's effects, whereas others would waste at least thirty to forty percent.

Yet, despite such waste, others could still break through a realm, while he could only condense two drops of Primordial Liquid. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Continuing to consume Purple Orchids, he condensed another two drops. By the third flower, the effect started to diminish, yielding only one and a half drops.

"Only sixty-eight and a half drops, still short by one and a half drops to break through to the eighth level of the Fate Palace Realm." Su Mu opened his eyes, shaking his head with a bitter smile. Even after fully refining the Purple Orchids, he only condensed five and a half drops of Primordial Liquid, with three extra drops coming from the new student benefits.

"I'll take a bath first and check out the Chaotic Wind Tunnel tomorrow." Su Mu looked at the grime expelled from his body, feeling the urge to pinch his nose.

This was the second benefit of the Purple Orchid: it could cleanse the meridians and expel impurities, laying a strong foundation for breaking through to the Transcendence Realm!

This was why the mentors of the first four divisions were willing to come and buy Purple Orchids, even at the cost of their pride. Missing out would set them back by a year or two, and if they couldn't find something similar in the future, they'd be behind for life!

The dormitory had a well-equipped bathroom with ample hot water, very convenient.

...

The House Master's study, located in a palace at the core of the Martial House.

The Deputy House Master sat comfortably in the study. After the House Master left, he took over all the House Master's duties, making the study his own, much to his satisfaction.

"This time, we've recruited such a monstrous talent. The fifth division is really lucky." The Deputy House Master muttered, shaking his head. Such a monstrous talent was snatched by the fifth division; the first four divisions were truly disappointing.

"Deputy House Master."

The door was pushed open, and the deans of the first four divisions walked into the study.

The Deputy House Master frowned, looking at the four deans with confusion. What did they want so late at night?

"Deputy House Master, the fifth division is too arrogant this time. You must punish them!"

Seeing the four deans filled with righteous indignation, the Deputy House Master frowned. If they were outmatched, they should admit defeat. What was the point of complaining to him?

"Deputy House Master, you don't know. The fifth division has gone too far this time!"

The four deans poured out their grievances to the Deputy House Master, who frowned deeper and deeper, a crease forming between his brows, and anger rising in his eyes.

"The fifth division has indeed gone too far this time!"

"A trash Fate Palace, making us miss out on a Twin Fate Palace genius!" Especially recalling his previous favor towards Su Mu, the Deputy House Master was even angrier. A trash Fate Palace, how dare it make him take a second look?

"Alright, you may leave." He waved his hand. No matter what, as the Deputy House Master, he had to be fair and couldn't target the fifth division over these matters.

The four deans glared, feeling their words had been wasted.

They exchanged glances, unwilling to let the fifth division continue so arrogantly. They had a premonition that this was just the beginning, and the fifth division would soon overshadow them!

This threat must be nipped in the bud!

"Deputy House Master, that Su Mu seems to be Huang Junrou's fiancé." The dean of the first division said, his eyes flickering.

"What did you say?" The Deputy House Master's expression changed immediately, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

...

The next day.

"Refreshing."

Su Mu opened the door, stretching as the morning sun bathed him. Although he hadn't broken through to the eighth level of the Fate Palace Realm, the cleansing effect made him feel much lighter.

"Brother!"

Huang Yiyun came out from the opposite side, happily greeting Su Mu.

Su Mu smiled and nodded, noticing her aura was stronger than yesterday, indicating she had broken through a realm.

He sighed and shook his head, turning to go downstairs. A Supreme Fate Palace was indeed difficult to break through.

If others heard his thoughts, they would be enraged to the point of spitting blood. Complaining about the difficulty of breaking through a Supreme Fate Palace? And looking down on lower-level Fate Palaces? How were others supposed to live?

"Brother, where are you going? Are you heading to the Chaotic Wind Tunnel?" Huang Yiyun asked, bouncing down the stairs.

Su Mu nodded, seeing other female new students coming downstairs as well. "What about you? Where are you planning to go?"

"We're going to explore the Martial House first. Classes don't start for another three days, so we want to get familiar with the place."

"Eh?" Huang Yiyun suddenly looked at Su Mu in surprise. "Brother, didn't you break through?"

Su Mu nodded helplessly. Huang Yiyun, fearing his morale would drop, quickly said, "Brother, others can break through a realm with three Purple Orchids, but you couldn't. That means your Fate Palace is definitely very strong!"

Su Mu was taken aback. How did she figure that out?

"Ha... Su Mu, it seems I'll surpass you soon." Wei Zhuo came downstairs, seeing Su Mu's aura hadn't strengthened, his arrogance returning.

"Talk to me when you surpass me." Su Mu said calmly. After being defeated so many times, Wei Zhuo still hadn't learned his lesson.

Wei Zhuo snorted coldly, then his expression turned serious. "Su Mu, did you receive an invitation?"

"Invitation?" Su Mu shook his head. "What invitation?"

"Damn those bastards!" Wei Zhuo gritted his teeth in anger upon hearing Su Mu hadn't received an invitation either.

"Before classes start, there's a gathering for new students, inviting only the top talents!"

"The gathering includes both new and old top students, fostering connections and exchanges. Damn it, neither of us got invited!"

Seeing Wei Zhuo so angry, Su Mu just shook his head. The first four divisions always looked down on the fifth division; attending such gatherings was meaningless.

"There's one more thing." Seeing Su Mu unfazed, Wei Zhuo sighed and continued, "After classes start, the Martial House will release the rankings. Both new and old students will be ranked, with credits awarded to the top ten."

"Oh?" Su Mu raised an eyebrow, interested. Credits were always welcome.

"The tenth place on the new student ranking gets one credit per month, the ninth gets two, and so on. The first place gets ten credits per month!"

"So many! My brother will definitely get those ten credits!" Huang Yiyun exclaimed, smiling at Su Mu. The first place among new students was undoubtedly his!

"You're overthinking it." Wei Zhuo said seriously. If it were that simple, it would be great.
