Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1768 1768: Zhao Qi Pays a Visit! The Quota Battle Is About to Begin!

"It's actually quite delicious!"

Mu Jinyu accepted plate after plate of exceptionally cooked dishes, devouring them eagerly and occasionally praising them.

Chu Huannian also ate, but not much.

She basically just took a few bites of each dish and didn't eat much more.

After all, she wasn't hungry.

After Mu Jinyu finished all the dishes on the table, he finally didn't feel hungry, even somewhat full.

"Pack these dishes and take them back for Little Yun and the others to eat."

After finishing the dishes made from two ferocious beasts of the Void Breaking Realm, Mu Jinyu looked at the dishes made from the Blazing Heart Turtle that were mostly untouched.

Then he placed them into the Qiankun Ring.

"Let's go."

Mu Jinyu called out to Chu Huannian.

"Mm." Chu Huannian wiped her mouth and stood up to leave.

As they left the canteen, Mu Jinyu said with a bit of heartache, "Wow, that was really expensive, I spent eleven academic credits on one meal."

"These credits are enough to buy a Divine Weapon!"

Chu Huannian laughed, "But wasn't it worth it? You previously ate a lot of fierce beast materials without feeling satisfied, but eating those two ferocious beasts of the Void Breaking Realm left you nearly full. It was worth it."

"Yes, indeed..."

Mu Jinyu nodded lightly, saying with a hint of helplessness, "If every breakthrough in cultivation costs this much, I'll go broke eating! It's really frustrating."

"Hey, what do you think that dark-skinned youth wanted with you earlier?"

With no necessity to feed Mu Jinyu first, Chu Huannian now thought of the earlier encounter with Li Yi and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No idea, but I've clearly never offended anyone in Dongyue Mansion. He might be a friend of Ji Fei? Or maybe he was warning me about tomorrow's slot competition?"

Now that Mu Jinyu wasn't hungry anymore, he had the mind to think about these matters, and upon hearing Chu Huannian, he pondered briefly and guessed the approximate reason.

"What's that guy's strength? Did you get a good look?" Chu Huannian inquired.

Her cultivation was currently only at the Mid Unity Realm Stage, and although she improved quickly, she couldn't clearly discern the cultivation levels of those stronger than her.

Mu Jinyu, though initially only taking a quick glance at Li Yi, remembered his approximate cultivation level and said, "He should be at the Third Layer of the Void Breaking Realm, I reckon, at the Early Void Breaking Realm Stage, not far from the Middle Stage, but still not enough to worry about."

Though a single layer separates the Third and Fourth Layers of the Void Breaking Realm, the gap is quite significant.

And Mu Jinyu had always had the habit of battling beyond his level, so with only a minor realm difference, he wasn't worried about being overpowered.

To overpower him, one's strength would have to reach the Life and Death Realm at least.

Even ordinary Life and Death Realm experts had a hard time dealing with him.

After all, his Firewood Chopping Saber Technique and Earth Emperor's Tome were no child's play!

The two chatted as they walked, and soon returned to the area where Intermediate Students lived, seeing some people gathered at their Courtyard No. 96 again.

"Mu Jinyu?"

A handsome young man saw Mu Jinyu coming back, raised an eyebrow, and lightly shook his paper fan while asking softly.

"Hmm? Is there something you need?"

Mu Jinyu noticed that his tone wasn't as aggressive as that burly youth from before and didn't directly tell him to scram, so he asked calmly.

"It's nothing. I'm Zhao Qi, also participating in tomorrow's competition for the last slot in the Tiangan Secret Realm, so I came to see the biggest contender of this battle, you!"

The handsome young man explained with a smile.

"Oh? Now that you're done looking, can you leave?"

Mu Jinyu said casually.

He checked Zhao Qi's cultivation, seeing it was at the Fourth Layer of the Void Breaking Realm, the same rank as Ji Fei, but he wasn't worried.

Zhao Qi replied softly, "Mm, I'll leave now. But, I heard people say that when you fought Ji Fei, your cultivation was at the First Layer of the Void Breaking Realm... You've broken through since then? Or were you hiding your strength before?"

Mu Jinyu didn't mind answering the truth and said with a faint smile, "Do you think I could hide my cultivation from the Mansion Master?"

"That's true, since you could transform from the Divinity Transformation Realm to the Void Breaking Realm in a month, breaking from the First Layer to the Second Layer within half a day isn't impossible either..."

Zhao Qi realized, smiled, then bowed to Mu Jinyu and said, "I was too presumptuous, see you tomorrow."

Saying that, he gracefully left.

"He actually left!"

"Didn't even get to fight, what a shame!"

"Are you stupid? What's the point of fighting now? If the teacher punishes us and cancels our qualification, wouldn't we lose out big time? And benefit others for no reason?"

"True, but it wasn't even a shouting match, kind of boring..."

"Do you think Zhao Qi is like that brute Li Yi? How could he just casually start cursing at people?"

After Zhao Qi left, those standing around, the intermediate students, immediately started whispering.

"Li Yi..."

In their dialogue, Mu Jinyu heard the name Li Yi and guessed that the burly youth he drove away was probably Li Yi?

He didn't dwell on it, nor did he bother chatting to gather information, simply returning to the courtyard with Chu Huannian.

"This guy is really arrogant!"

"Indeed, from crawling as a Beginner Student to an Intermediate Student, he's already looking down on others."

"We are his seniors, after all, and he didn't even greet us."

As Mu Jinyu returned to his courtyard and the restrictions closed, some intermediate students started complaining.

But they only dared whisper behind his back, not daring to provoke him directly with their lesser strengths.

After all, Mu Jinyu had just killed Ji Fei on the Life and Death Platform.

This was someone ruthless!

"Brother Jinyu, sister, you're finally back..."

As Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian entered the courtyard, Chu Huaxiu and Ji Xiaoyun appeared, running towards them.

"We went to buy food, look, packed some for you too, eat in the dining hall later."

Mu Jinyu casually explained.

Saying that, he glanced at Ji Xiaoyun's cultivation, seeing she had reached Energy Transformation from Dark Energy.

She was at the later stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Chu Huaxiu wasn't as fast, still at the Dark Energy level but had reached Peak Dark Energy.

"Really? We haven't eaten in so long, over at Grandpa Chen's, we were only eating Fasting Pills, seeing those Spirit Beasts made us so hungry."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Ji Xiaoyun excitedly cheered.

Hearing this made Mu Jinyu feel a bit sorrowful, indeed, sending them elsewhere for care wasn't as good as taking care of them personally.

Fortunately, now that he killed Ji Fei, he's an intermediate student and can have maids, so they won't have to live so pitifully anymore.

"Let's go, go eat, I also want to taste this turtle meat again..."

Mu Jinyu smiled, inviting Chu Huaxiu and Ji Xiaoyun along.

Time passed slowly.

The next day, Mu Jinyu exhaled lightly, refining the last trace of East-coming Purple Qi, then walked out of his room, ready to wait for Teacher Xuu Lin to take him to the slot competition.
