Chapter 126 Change of Mind
"Hey, have you heard? People from Mingyue Academy are coming. I heard that there is an unparalleled genius among them!" Lou Ruoyi said with her head tilted.
"There are so many geniuses out there, can they be more talented than Muchen? I don't believe it." Mi Xue curled her lips and said with disapproval.
Lou Ruoyi rolled her eyes and glanced at Mi Xue helplessly, "Mi Xue, in your eyes, Mu Chen is the only genius left, right?"
Mi Xue lay on the bed, cracking melon seeds, and said lazily, "So what? Haven't you heard? He drew a third-level formation pattern in the Formation Court. He's already a third-level formation master. Formations, inscriptions, alchemy, talismans, it seems like there's nothing he can't do except give birth."
"He still doesn't know how to refine weapons. The dean of the Weapon Refining Institute is deeply saddened by this." Lou Ruoyi said with a smile.
"He just doesn't want to learn refining. If he is willing to learn, he will definitely be able to do it easily. Learning refining will make you sweat all day long, which is really boring. No wonder Mu Chen doesn't want to learn." Mi Xue said with full understanding.
Bai Le crossed his arms, sighed softly, and glared at Mi Xue coldly, "Mu Chen is indeed a genius among geniuses, but what a pity! He's already taken."
Mi Xue said somewhat dejectedly: "Why isn't Muchen a lustful guy? Isn't it said that all men are lustful?" Except for Ye Shi, Muchen was not polite to anyone.
"What are you going to do if he is lustful?" Bai Le said mischievously.
Michelle shrugged and said, "If he's lustful, maybe I can try to win him over!"
Lou Ruoyi glared at Mi Xue unhappily, "Little girl, you are so shameless."
Mi Xue glared at Lou Ruoyi and said, "There's nothing I can do! He's so outstanding. Ruoyi, dare you say you're not moved?"
Lou Ruoyi gave Mi Xue a fierce look and said nothing.
"Mu Chen is indeed a genius, but I heard that among the people who came from Mingyue Academy, there is an even more talented person named Lu Yao, who is fifteen years old, a two-star martial spirit, and also a fourth-level formation master." Bai Le said with a serious face.
A strange look flashed across Ye Rong's face. A two-star martial spirit, such a young and powerful one, the Holy Star Academy didn't have one!
"Mu Chen has met his match this time!" Ye Rong couldn't help but say.
Mi Xue nodded and said, "Yeah! If this guy meets Lu Yao in the inscription competition, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
"I heard that Muchen won all five competitions by himself." Ye Rong narrowed her eyes. If this guy lost all, he would be so embarrassed. Muchen alone was responsible for fifteen places. If he lost all, she didn't know if he could save face.
At this moment, Ye Rong only had hatred for Mu Chen and hoped that Mu Chen would suffer misfortune.
…………
Mu Chen walked into the villa and saw Ye Shi holding an introductory book on formations and reading it with great interest.
Perhaps it is really the influence of blood, Ye Shi has an extremely high talent in formation.
Ye Shi could draw many first-level formations with just one look. Mu Chen's understanding of formations was not even as good as Ye Shi's.
Seeing Mu Chen come in, Ye Shi's face suddenly showed a sweet smile, "I heard that you decided to compete for the Zhen Court."
Mu Chen nodded lightly and said, "Yes!"
Ye Shi blinked, his eyes darting from side to side. "Didn't you say you didn't want to? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Mu Chen smiled and looked at Ye Shi mischievously. Ye Shi's expression seemed calm, but there was an unconcealable expectation in his eyes, as if he wanted to confirm something.
"I suddenly realized that it's everyone's responsibility to bring honor to the college."
When Ye Shi heard Mu Chen's words, he lowered his head in frustration.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and smiled. He put his arm around Ye Shi's waist and asked on his forehead, "I was just kidding. I'm participating in the competition for you. Your father's formation skills must be quite good. I must surpass him and win glory for you."
Ye Shi's eyes flashed with pride. He clenched his fists and said, "Yes, you must be better than him. You must trample him under your feet and let him know how powerful you are."
Mu Chen: “…” Ye Shi seems to have a big prejudice against that father!
"Where is the book?" Ye Shi took out the book from the space ring and handed it to Mu Chen.
"This book is too bad. I have to suck blood every hour before I can read it." Ye Shi curled his lips.
Mu Chen bit his finger and let the blood drip onto the pages of the book. The blood was absorbed by the book, and the book remained dull and lifeless.
"Hey, that doesn't work! Is the blood you dripped too little?" Ye Shi was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "No, it's more that our bloodline can't open this book?"
Ye Shi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Some large families with special bloodlines have come up with special methods to ensure that their family skills are not stolen by outsiders. Such methods are not available to a small country like the Xuanfeng Empire." Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "So that's how it is!" This broken book used such a weird method, it seems that its value is beyond his imagination!
"Put the book away and don't use this ability in front of others easily." Mu Chen said seriously.
This method of activating inherited skills through blood is not foolproof. After some people accidentally obtain this skill, they capture the descendants of such families with special bloodlines, kill them to take their blood, or even raise them as blood slaves and take their blood when needed.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and asked thoughtfully, "Are you interested in participating in the Formation Court competition?"
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen in surprise and said, "Can I, can I do it?"
Mu Chen said disapprovingly: "Aren't you already able to draw a second-level array pattern?"
"But I can only draw a second-level array pattern! The people who come here are already third-level array masters." Ye Shi frowned.
Mu Chen said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. There aren't any third-level formation masters in the Formation Court anyway. It doesn't matter if you lose. The Formation Court can't win anyway."
"Let me think about this again." Ye Shi shook his head.
Ye Shi could see that Mu Chen didn't really care about the competition. Although Mu Chen didn't care, he had to care. These days, his master had been extremely worried about the competition. If he lost, he would lose three places. He couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility.
He didn't know whether he could win the fight in the martial arts academy. Ye Shi was very confident in his own strength, but the opponent had two martial spirit-level strongmen. This was a difference in realm, which could not be compensated by confidence.
Seeing Ye Shi's refusal, Mu Chen didn't care. "There's still time. You can use these few days to work hard. Maybe you can become a third-level formation master before the people from Mingyue Academy arrive."
Ye Shi widened his eyes and said blankly: "You mistook me for yourself." He did not have Muchen's extraordinary learning ability!
"Didn't you say that you had never seen those formations before, but they felt very familiar and you could master them in one go? That is a talent inheritance. Your ancestors must have been top-notch formation masters. This talent is imprinted in the blood. If your descendants have the opportunity, they can inherit this talent." Mu Chen said lightly.
Ye Shi blinked. According to Muchen's words, his cheap dad shouldn't be an ordinary person! Unfortunately, he's not a good person. I hope that guy has his reasons.
Ye Shi bit his finger, letting blood drip onto the pages of the book, and then pushed the book to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was stunned when he saw this scene. "What are you doing?"
Ye Shi smiled and said, "This book is useful to you, isn't it?"
Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's right."
"Don't you have a photographic memory? Write it down quickly. We only have one hour. Although your formation technique has reached level three, you still need to study more if you want to win." Ye Shi said with a smile.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay." Ye Shi was sincere, how could Mu Chen refuse?
Mu Chen flipped through the golden formation book, and a wave of enlightenment rose from his heart. This formation spell was far superior to those crude and mediocre formation spells in the academy. There was a stacking formation technique in it that could add up the power of many low-level formations and give full play to the power of the formation's multiple strengths.
Muchen discovered that he could only accept the knowledge about fourth-level formation masters in the book. If he was forcibly given the knowledge about fifth-level formations, he would have a headache.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen's ugly face and couldn't help but asked, "Are you okay?"
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "It's okay, I was just a little too hasty." The knowledge of the fifth-level formation is not something he can access now. The fourth-level formation in the book is profound and extensive, and he needs to spend some time to comprehend it.
"Next, I need to go into seclusion for a few days." Mu Chen said seriously.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "As I should."
…………
As soon as Mu Chen went into seclusion, people from the Zhen Court came to find him.
Ye Shi looked at a fat old man walking over with several instructors, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
"Classmate Ye, where is Mu Chen?" Hao Tu looked at Ye Shi and asked anxiously.
Ye Shi shrugged and said calmly, "He's in seclusion."
Hao Tu frowned and asked, "In seclusion?"
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! What can I do for you?"
"It's like this. I heard that Muchen has been promoted to a third-level formation master. I want to find Muchen and exchange some formation techniques with him. I don't know how long Muchen has been in seclusion. Can I ask him to come out and have a chat?" Hao Tu said.
Hao Tu said this modestly. Although Muchen could draw third-level array patterns and was a third-level array master, the people from Mingyue Academy were also third-level array masters. Muchen's chances of winning were not too high. Hao Tu wanted to take advantage of this time to give Muchen some pointers to improve his chances of winning.
Ye Shi held up his chin and said, "He just went into seclusion and will probably be there for several days. Did you ask Muchen for advice on formations? Do you have any questions about formations that you want to ask Muchen? You can also ask me!"
The several instructors who followed Hao Tu immediately looked at Hao Tu with strange expressions.
Hao Tu's face suddenly turned pale and blue, "Do you understand the formation?"
"A little bit." Ye Shi said.
Xia Qingyan walked in and just heard Ye Shi say this, "When did you learn about formations?" Xia Qingyan asked.
"A few days ago, Mu Chen said I was a genius." Ye Shi said with some pride.
Xia Qingyan's expression changed, and she thought to herself: Mu Chen was originally unwilling to participate in the competition, but suddenly agreed. Could it be because of Ye Shi? Yes, Mu Chen would only act incoherently when it came to Ye Shi.
