"Okay." Xiong Ruoyou controlled her voice, trying her best not to let it tremble.

Mu Ge was setting her bones, and it really hurt terribly. She would have screamed in front of others.

But remembering how she had been in danger just now and how Brother Mu had rushed out to save her, she endured the pain in her bones without making a sound.

In front of Brother Mu, she probably already looks like a useless person. If she shouts and screams during the bone-setting ceremony, she will be more than just a useless person!

After treating Xiong Ruoyou's wounds, Mu Qingyun sat down cross-legged and began cultivating her mental power.

When she encountered virtual creatures again today, she suddenly remembered the hidden difficulty in the second level.

She hadn't encountered any virtual beings before, probably because she was with Su Qiluo.

However, to her surprise, the virtual creature could actually transform into the appearance of someone else.

If one is not careful or acts out of kindness and lets them along, the virtual creatures could easily wipe them all out when daytime arrives and everyone is resting.

"Sizzle sizzle".

One wave subsides, another rises.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away. Mu Qingyun hadn't been in her sea of ​​consciousness for long when she was forcibly pulled out by the sound.

What's wrong now?

Frowning in frustration, she opened her eyes and looked to the side.

It was all gray and gloomy, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. It was like being blind; you couldn't see anything at all. You could only hear a faint sound.

It sounded like something was being dragged along.

Unable to use her fire-based abilities to attack, she could only strain her ears and listen to the sounds around her.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind me.

Fan Xuanye's figure and his voice appeared almost simultaneously; by the time his voice fell, he had already rushed a distance away.

Huh?

Mu Qingyun tried to find the direction where Fan Xuanye was, but she kept hearing faint sounds around her, and she couldn't tell which ones were coming from Fan Xuanye.

“It’s alright, he’s a snake. Hunting in this kind of environment is his forte.” Kazel was also awakened by the commotion around him and heard Fan Xuanye’s words.

Snakes naturally have poor eyesight. When a snake-human like Fan Xuanye transforms into a human, his eyesight becomes excellent, but when he transforms into a snake, his eyesight becomes just as poor as that of an ordinary snake.

After listening to Kazel's words of comfort, Mu Qingyun calmed herself down and continued to listen attentively to the sounds around her.

As Kazel said, this environment was a piece of cake for Fan Xuanye, who had turned into a snake.

The creatures crawling around are virtual constructs, small, round pieces with incredibly hard bodies. Their vital parts are their wriggling legs, which they use to crawl.

Fan Xuanye had seen this kind of creature before and knew where its weakness lay.

His body moved forward rapidly in a curved motion. He opened his mouth, his sharp teeth exuding a chilling aura, and bit down on them one by one. In no time, he had completely cleaned up those little creatures.

Finished and that's it.

Fan Xuanye quickly moved back, and although some of the rubble blocks were sharp and protruding, his scales were very hard and he was not afraid of the pitted ground at all.

If it weren't for meeting Xiong Ruoyou and thinking about her inconvenience, he would have already traveled day and night in his snake form and probably would have been able to get out long ago.

Mu Qingyun heard Fan Xuanye crawling back.

"I'm back."

Fan Xuanye did not revert to human form. He gently touched her leg with his tail in snake form before heading towards Xiong Ruoyou.

A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Qingyun's eyes. She hadn't expected Fan Xuanye to be so capable, resolving the crisis so quickly.

Feeling relieved, she sat back down in her seat.

Just as he was about to dive into his sea of ​​consciousness to cultivate again, his arm was suddenly pressed down by a hand.

"It's me."

Kazel's timely intervention made her retract her hand, which was already halfway through the strike.

"What's up?" She moved her arm, freeing herself from Kazel's hand, and glanced lazily in Kazel's direction.

“Hmm, I have an idea, about Mu Xueyao.” Kazel raised his arm again and put it on her arm once more. “Come this way with me.”

Upon hearing Mu Xueyao's name, Mu Qingyun hesitated for a moment, then got up and moved closer to Kazel.

"Hurry up and tell me, I need to hurry up and cultivate my mental strength." She really didn't want to waste her precious cultivation time like this.

“Once I get into military school, I’m thinking of not doing anything yet,” Kazel said slowly and softly. “The best way to torture someone is to first lift them to the top, and then throw them into the mud.”

"As long as you're not in a hurry, I don't care." Mu Qingyun didn't care at all. In any case, Mu Xueyao would have to pay a price for the original owner's death sooner or later, so it didn't matter whether it was sooner or later.

Kazel got the answer he wanted, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

He originally wanted to implement his plan as soon as he left the second level, but when he returned home last time, he learned that the furnace used to separate supernatural abilities had encountered some problems and needed time to repair.

In fact, the imperfect furnace was more than enough to refine Mu Xueyao, but his initial idea was not to refine Mu Xueyao.

In his entire plan, Mu Xueyao was truly just a pitiful cannon fodder.

He wanted to make Su Qiluo regret it, and he also wanted Su Qiluo to hand over his water-based abilities. That furnace was originally made for Su Qiluo.

He turned his head and glanced at Mu Qingyun sitting next to him, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

His initial attempt to win over Mu Qingyun was solely for the sake of her unique Samadhi Fire.

Does he really like Mu Qingyun?

Although Mu Qingyun is indeed different from others, she possesses a unique beauty and attraction.

However, his initial motives for approaching her were impure. He was meticulously calculating and had little genuine affection for her.

...

As darkness fell, Mu Qingyun snapped out of her reverie.

Su Qiluo still had the spiritual energy she had reserved for herself. Although they couldn't cultivate together now, her progress was still somewhat outrageous.

"Let's go." Watching the fluctuations of the compass in her hand, she took the lead and walked eastward.

She led the way, followed by a line of orcs.

Mu Qingyun turned her head and glanced at the group of beastmen behind her. She suddenly realized that apart from Su Qiluo and Yi Beixuan, all the people she was close to were beastmen.

Why are there so many orcs in the military academy trials?

Along the way, she encountered more orcs than humans.

"Oh dear, you're too slow."

The nimble rabbit hopped and skipped easily over several pieces of rubble, followed by another rabbit, which was clearly exhausted.

This is……

Mu Qingyun looked at the two rabbits, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Good grief, here we go again?

Wen Yue noticed her too, and whether intentionally or not, she silently rushed towards her.
