Chapter 139: The Comparison of Fuyuan

The news that Mu Chen was promoted to a fourth-level alchemist caused a sensation in the whole school.

All the Saint Star students who were still weighing who was better between Mu Chen and Lu Yao suddenly sided with Mu Chen.

"Mu Chen's alchemy skills have actually reached the fourth level. It's unbelievable." Lou Ruoyi said in admiration as she walked on the road.

Mi Xue nodded and said in deep agreement, "It's truly terrifying. I originally thought that Mu Chen, despite his extensive knowledge of many arts, wasn't as proficient as Lu Yao in just one. It seems I was overly worried."

"A fourth-level alchemist, Mu Chen can't be poor just based on his alchemy skills." Bai Le said with admiration.

"No wonder he didn't feel bad at all when he threw out more than a dozen level four talismans."

"Isn't it? Ye Shi is now like a mouse in a rice jar. He will never have to worry about not having Yuanshi flowers for the rest of his life." Lou Ruoyi said sourly.

Ye Rong lowered her head and did not join in the conversation.

Her father has completely become a gambler, and Muchen has become a prostitute. Ye Shi ignores her, so Muchen naturally doesn't care about her either.

Ye Rong didn't understand how she ended up in this situation. Although she didn't understand, she could only grit her teeth and move on. Occasionally thinking of the past, Ye Rong couldn't help but regret. If she hadn't targeted Ye Shi in the beginning, but had established a good relationship with Ye Shi, then everything would be different now.

Xie Danyan held her chin and sighed continuously.

Cheng Wanbai looked at Danshu while glancing at Xie Danyan who was sighing, "Danyan, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm just sighing! We're all human beings, so why is there such a huge difference?"

She was only a second-level alchemist, but Muchen was already a fourth-level one. Xie Danyan had originally thought that Muchen was indecisive and his learning was disorganized, and that his alchemy skills might lag behind. In that case, she could still catch up with him. However, she didn't expect that Muchen had quietly become a fourth-level alchemist.

Several of the instructors at the academy were only fourth-level alchemists! Those people had always been her idols! As a result, Muchen's alchemy skills were already on par with those people.

"Don't compare yourself with Muchen. Just look at what happened to Lan Ruofeng." Cheng Wanbai forced a smile. Lan Ruofeng looked more and more decadent. It was such a pity that he was born in the same era as Muchen and Lu Yao.

"That's right, you can't compare with a beast like Muchen. You can't compare." When they first met, he regarded Lan Ruofeng as a peerless genius and Muchen as a villain who only knew how to take advantage of opportunities. In the end... his vision was really not that good!

…………

Danbi ended with Holy Star winning one and losing one, and the two houses were tied again.

Lan Ruofeng finally managed to refine the pill, but the quality of the pill was far inferior to that of the contestant from Mingyue Academy, so he still lost.

As soon as the game was over, Mu Chen asked Xia Qingyan to leave.

The first magic competition between the two academies was the Fu Academy's competition. Song Cheng also wanted to find Muchen to practice his feelings and ask about Muchen's situation. However, Xia Qingyan ruthlessly drove Song Cheng away.

Faced with Xia Qingyan's dominance, Song Cheng could only leave sadly based on the principle that a good man does not fight with a woman.

"Dean, what do you want to talk to me about?" Mu Chen asked Xia Qingyan, who was looking aggressive.

Xia Qingyan put her hands on her hips, looked at Mu Chen coldly, and scolded him, "Don't pretend to be so playful in front of me. Let me ask you, when did you reach the fourth level of alchemy?"

"A few days ago." Mu Chen said lightly.

Xia Qingyan looked at Mu Chen with a cold gaze, "Your alchemy skills have reached level four, what's your inscription skills level?"

"Level three!" Mu Chen said.

Xia Qingyan said unhappily, "Your alchemy skills have reached level four, but your inscription skills are only level three. You are a student of our Inscription Academy!"

Although it was expected, Xia Qingyan was still disappointed when she heard Mu Chen's words.

Mu Chen lowered his head. In fact, he was not only a fourth-level alchemist, but also a fourth-level talisman master and a fourth-level formation master. The talismans that Ye Shi used to hit people in the competition were drawn by him personally. It was just the inscriptions that he could not improve.

"Teacher, this is not my fault. There are too few inscriptions passed down in the academy." Mu Chen sighed.

His comprehension was amazing, but no matter how deep his comprehension was, it would be useless without sufficient knowledge to give him spiritual objects.

The inheritance of alchemy and talismans in the academy is relatively complete, and the inheritance of the Formation Court is actually very poor. However, he accepted the inheritance of the Ye Shi family, which is extraordinary.

When Xia Qingyan heard Mu Chen's words, she was stunned and a look of loneliness appeared on her face.

The academy's precious inscription books are far less than those of the Alchemy Academy and the Talisman Academy. With Mu Chen's talent, if the inheritance of the Inscription Academy was perfected, he should have been a fourth-level inscription master long ago.

"It's the teacher who is sorry for you." Xia Qingyan said sadly. With Mu Chen's talent, if he was in Mingyue Academy, he might have a broader sky.

"Teacher, you are too kind." Mu Chen said sincerely.

…………

The headquarters of Mingyue Academy.

"Yaoyao, don't be too sad. This is not your fault." Liu Xueyan comforted the distraught Tong Yaoyao.

Tong Yaoyao gave a bitter smile. She had thought she had a sure win in the competition, but she had no idea that Muchen would be such a freak. "Sister Xueyan, I'm fine."

Although she lost, no instructor criticized her. In fact, her performance was far beyond her usual level. It was just that the opponent was too powerful. It was not unfair for her to lose this competition!

Before the game, she scolded the opponent for being fickle and grandstanding. As a result, the opponent's strength far exceeded hers. In the eyes of the opponent, she was probably just a joke.

Liu Xueyan looked at Tong Yaoyao and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay."

"Sister Xueyan, will you run into Muchen in the next talisman competition?" Tong Yaoyao asked.

Liu Xueyan shook her head, "No, he is not my opponent."

Although Liu Xueyan didn't think she would lose if she met Mu Chen, she was still relieved when she knew that her opponent was not Mu Chen. Mu Chen was too unfathomable.

Tong Yaoyao narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, smiled faintly, and then shook her head.

Liu Xueyan looked at Tong Yaoyao's expression and asked, "Yaoyao, what are you thinking about?"

Tong Yaoyao smiled brightly at Liu Xueyan and said half-jokingly, "I was thinking, maybe Muchen is a fourth-level talisman master. Who knows!"

"You really know how to tell a joke." Liu Xueyan smiled subconsciously, and then her heart trembled. Before the competition, if someone said that Mu Chen was a fourth-level alchemist, she would also think it was a joke!

"To be honest, Mu Chen's strength seems to be no weaker than Senior Brother Lu Yao." Tong Yaoyao muttered.

"I don't know, Senior Brother Lu Yao, who will win or lose when he meets Mu Chen." Liu Xueyan said with a smile.

Tong Yaoyao and Liu Xueyan's words reached Lu Yao's ears, and Lu Yao's expression suddenly changed.

Tong Yaoyao and Liu Xueyan had always been extremely confident in him, but now they were actually beginning to doubt whether he would lose.

Lan Ruofeng hid in the house, not saying a word.

Mu Chen's brilliance was too bright. All the students of Holy Star were immersed in the joy that Mu Chen was a fourth-level alchemist. Lan Ruofeng, the loser, was selectively forgotten.

Lan Ruofeng originally wanted to win the game and then go to Zhuang Yu to explain what happened before, but in the end, he lost.

Lan Ruofeng gritted his teeth and thought to himself: With Mu Chen and Lu Yao around, I'm afraid he will never be able to turn things around in his lifetime.

…………

After the Dan competition, it was the Fulu competition. In addition to Muchen, there was another young man named Tao Mo from the Fuyuan who participated in the competition. He was a second-level Fulu master. It was obvious that Song Cheng had brought him in to make up the numbers.

The talisman competition is to refine attack talismans. Whoever refines the talisman with stronger attack power will win.

Everyone had three chances to draw a talisman. Mu Chen drew three talismans in total, which took him a long time.

Four targets were erected in the center of the square. They were made of top-grade jade granite, a material that could withstand extremely high attack forces.

The first thing tested was the talisman drawn by Tao Mo. The talisman drawn by Tao Mo was only at level two. After it was activated, nothing was left on the target.

Liu Xueyan's talisman blew a large hole in the target, and unsurprisingly, she won the competition.

The damage caused by the talisman drawn by Muchen's opponent was comparable to that of Liu Xueyan.

"Student Mu, you have drawn three talismans in total. Which one do you plan to use?" asked the person in charge of the test.

Mu Chen crossed his arms and said calmly, "Just pick one at random."

The person in charge looked at Mu Chen strangely and activated a talisman. With a loud "bang", the talisman was activated and directly blew the target in the field away.

"Cheating, there's something wrong with the target, you must have cheated?" A tutor from Mingyue Academy stood up and said angrily.

Mu Chen glanced at the irritable instructor indifferently, and said calmly to the person in charge of the test: "There are two talismans left. Activate another one for everyone to see, and then shoot at that one." Mu Chen raised his hand and pointed at Liu Xueyan's target.

Liu Xueyan frowned and didn't say much.

The inspector looked at Mu Chen with an even more strange look, and thought secretly: Could it be that Mu Chen had already guessed that this situation would happen, so he specially drew two more talismans.

With a loud "bang", Liu Xueyan's target disappeared.

"Fourth-level talisman? You are a fourth-level talisman master." Liu Xueyan looked at Mu Chen in shock. Damn it, Tong Yaoyao's joke actually came true. Mu Chen was really a fourth-level talisman master. This guy was really terrifying.

The viewing platform suddenly became lively, with cheers rising one after another.

A fourth-level talisman master, Muchen is a master of both alchemy and talismans, a double fourth-level talisman master.

A genius, a genius born from heaven!

Xia Qingyan gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot, "This guy is actually a fourth-level talisman master..."

His alchemy and talisman skills have reached level four, but this guy's inscription skills are only level three. This guy who is not doing his job properly, he is from the Inscription Academy!

Xia Qingli sighed softly, "Song Cheng finally took a break, but judging by Mu Chen's behavior, he's probably going to keep trying to pry her away again."

"What's the point of him trying to pry it out? Can he teach this guy Muchen?" Xia Qingyan said indifferently.

"Xingguo, go ask Mu Chen if he can refine weapons!" Lei Cheng said with a red face as he sat on the viewing platform.

Pan Xingguo smiled helplessly and said, "Dean, I asked, and Mu Chen really doesn't know how to refine weapons."

Lei Cheng said with a bitter face: "That doesn't make sense! Why can't he do that? He obviously knows everything."

"Because he has no interest in refining equipment." Pan Xingguo smiled bitterly and repeated the words he had avoided many times.

Lei Cheng looked at Mu Chen sullenly, "How could you not be interested? You shortsighted brat."

Mu Chen participated in four of the five competitions at the Art Academy, but only missed his Weapon Refining Academy. This was really too much.
