Chapter 137 Grasp
As soon as the competition was over, Muchen was called away by the dean of the Alchemy Institute. The Alchemy Institute would hold the competition the day after the martial arts competition, and Lu Han was already extremely anxious.
"Mu Chen, you won beautifully today!" Lu Han sat opposite Mu Chen and looked at him seriously.
Mu Chen took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly, "Thank you for the compliment, Dean. Actually, many people say that my win was shameless, and I feel guilty about it!"
"Oh, no, no, no, there's nothing shameless about winning. I think you performed very well, very well, and you brought glory to the reputation of our Holy Star Academy."
Lu Han was very dissatisfied with Shi Ziyu's decision to change Muchen's opponent to Zhu Xu without authorization. After all, after the martial arts competition, it was the alchemy competition. If Muchen was seriously injured in the martial arts competition, he would not be able to participate in the alchemy competition at all. He could not even participate in the competitions in the Talisman Academy, Inscription Academy, and Formation Academy.
If this happens, all their plans will be in vain.
Fortunately, Muchen won easily, really easily! It's so nice to be rich! I'll use my money to crush you to death, how domineering!
"Where did you get so many talismans?"
"I bought it." Mu Chen said lightly.
Lu Han looked at Mu Chen with some disbelief. The fourth-level talisman was not a common commodity and was not easy to buy. Mu Chen suddenly had so many of them in his hands without revealing any information before, and no one knew when he bought them.
"Did classmate Ji Dongcheng buy his talisman from the same store as you?" Lu Han asked with interest.
Many people in Mingyue Academy speculated that Ji Dongcheng's actions made Lu Yao lose face, and it was the dean's work.
Lu Han knew very well that the dean was a stingy person. It was impossible for him to make such a big move for a losing game. Not only the dean, but also the several martial kings in the academy, if you were to ask who else in the academy had the financial resources, it would only be Muchen. But why would Muchen do this?
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. The old foxes in the academy were more cunning than the other. He couldn't hide what he had done from them! However, he didn't care.
"Dean, you called me here just to tell me this? If that's all you want to say to me, then I'll take my leave." Mu Chen said lazily, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Lu Han smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm getting off topic. I wanted to ask you, how confident are you about tomorrow's game?"
"100%." Mu Chen said lightly.
Lu Han looked at Muchen with a strange look. He had always thought Muchen was a very modest boy, but it seemed like he had misjudged Muchen.
"Are you so sure? Mingyue is an extraordinary girl." Lu Han blinked and looked at Mu Chen with some joking.
Mu Chen leaned back in the rocking chair, his fingers crossed, and said calmly, "There's no way I can lose, because I'm a fourth-level alchemist. As far as I know, there are only two third-level alchemists in Mingyue Academy."
Lu Han suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand and stood up suddenly, "What did you say, you are a fourth-level alchemist?"
Mu Chen nodded calmly and said, "Yes!"
"When did that happen?" Lu Han said tremblingly.
"Just these few days." Mu Chen said casually.
Lu Han looked at Mu Chen in disbelief. What a beast! How dare this guy? How dare he advance to become a fourth-level alchemist so quickly?
Mu Chen looked at Lu Han calmly and said, "Dean, is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first."
"No more." Lu Han said dryly.
"Then I'll take my leave." Mu Chen stood up, looked at the door behind Lu Han thoughtfully, and walked out.
Mu Chen left for a while, Lu Han sighed softly and said, "Come out."
Lan Ruofeng clenched his fists and walked out of the room behind Lu Han with a very grim expression.
Lu Han sighed lightly. Lan Ruofeng was also a talented person, but unfortunately, he was not good enough in front of a beast like Muchen.
"In tomorrow's game, just do your best and don't put too much pressure on yourself." Lu Han advised seriously.
Lan Ruofeng clenched his fists and nodded respectfully.
Lu Han looked at Lan Ruofeng's back, and a hint of sigh flashed in his eyes. If Lan Ruofeng could not break through his own heart knot, he would probably only be a third-level alchemist in this life.
Just now, Mu Chen seemed to have discovered that Lan Ruofeng was behind the scenes. Lu Han was very suspicious that Mu Chen's words that he was already a fourth-level alchemist were meant to destroy Lan Ruofeng's beliefs and he deliberately said them to Lan Ruofeng.
This guy Mu Chen looks gentle and generous, but he seems to be very petty!
Zhu Xu was killed by him. Ji Dongcheng treated Lu Yao like that probably because of Mu Chen's instigation, otherwise Ji Dongcheng would not be so bold.

"Mu Chen, you're back." Ye Shi was delighted to see Mu Chen.
"Shi Tou, you prepared a lot of dishes!" Mu Chen smiled.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "I bought it from outside to celebrate. Mu Chen, you are really amazing. You defeated that arrogant fool in just three moves. Everyone says you are very handsome and impressive."
Mu Chen smiled suspiciously and said, "Really."
"Yes!" Although some people say that Mu Chen is shameless and unscrupulous, those are said by people who are jealous of Mu Chen and they don't count.
"Let's not talk about this, let's eat first." Ye Shi suggested.
Mu Chen nodded and sat down at the dining table. "Why does that old man from the Alchemy Institute want to see you?" Ye Shi asked curiously.
"The dean is worried about tomorrow's game and wants to ask me about it."
"The dean is really worrying too much! If you, Muchen, go on stage, how could we possibly lose?" Ye Shi said confidently.
"The Dean of the Alchemy Institute is old and his eyesight is blurry. How can you see things as clearly as a stone?"
The two were eating leisurely when Fu Yuanbao walked in hurriedly.
"Why are you here?" Ye Shi looked at Fu Yuanbao with unfriendly eyes.
"I'm here to give Mu Chen the information for his next game." Fu Yuanbao said with a smile.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said, "Show it to me."
Fu Yuanbao handed the information in his hand to Ye Shi attentively.
"Height, weight, measurements, you investigated it very carefully!" Ye Shi sneered.
Fu Yuanbao smiled awkwardly, then said seriously, "Young Master Ye, I am a businessman with professional ethics. My professional ethics require me to pay attention to every detail and strive for perfection in everything I do."
"This Tong Yaoyao is good-looking and is the goddess of Mingyue Academy. There are many boys in Mingyue Academy who are pursuing her, but this girl has her eyes on Lu Yao." Fu Yuanbao sighed with resentment.
Fu Yuanbao thought secretly: Most of the outstanding girls in Holy Star Academy are staring at Mu Chen, while Mingyue is staring at Lu Yao. Really, how come these girls can't realize that there is such an outstanding young man like him in this world!
Ye Shi held up his chin, curled his lips and said, "This girl has really no taste. She likes a bastard like Lu Yao. She has such no taste. I guess her ability in alchemy is not much better." Ye Shi always felt a little disgusted with Lu Yao and Muchen.
"Tong Yaoyao is only sixteen years old, but she can already refine four types of third-level elixirs. Everyone in Mingyue Academy thinks that she can become a fifth-level alchemy master." Fu Yuanbao said.
"There are only four kinds, no big deal." Ye Shi said indifferently.
Fu Yuanbao glanced at Mu Chen stealthily. Mu Chen's face was very calm, as if he didn't take Tong Yaoyao seriously at all.
"Fatty, you claim to know everything, there is nothing you can't find out. Why don't you go and check if Zhuang Yu knows any witchcraft?" Ye Shi suddenly said solemnly.
Fu Yuanbao looked at Ye Shi and asked in confusion, "Mr. Ye, why do you think so?"
"It's really weird! Zhuang Yu's opponent is obviously stronger than him! But when he was fighting with Zhuang Yu, he seemed to have lost his soul, afraid that he would hurt Zhuang Yu." Ye Shi frowned. He still wanted to find a chance to kill Zhuang Yu. If Zhuang Yu really possessed such a strange magic, his chances of winning would be very low!
Mu Chen drank a sip of wine thoughtfully, thinking to himself: Could it be the protagonist's halo at work?
Fu Yuanbao said thoughtfully, "Actually, I think Zhuang Yu will win, not because of his sorcery skills, but for other reasons."
"What's the reason?" Ye Shi asked impatiently.
"I heard that Lu Yao had met Zhuang Yu's opponent before the match. Isn't Lu Yao very close to Zhuang Yu?"
"The Lu family is a big family in the Fran Empire. There are even elders at the Martial Emperor level in their family. If Lu Yao wants Zhuang Yu to win, Zhuang Yu can win..." A gleam of light flashed in Fu Yuanbao's eyes, and his whole body glowed with a strange look.
Ye Shi blinked, a little confused, "What are you talking about?"
Mu Chen rubbed the ring on his hand and said, "You mean, in order to please Zhuang Yu, Lu Yao deliberately put pressure on Zhuang Yu's opponent to make him lose the competition."
Ye Shi was stunned, "How is that possible?" If Lu Yao did this, wouldn't it be treason? That person wouldn't do such a thing.
Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly. How could it be impossible? Lu Yao had sacrificed two places at Mingyue Academy for Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu must have been deeply moved by this.
It is still very cost-effective to rely on a competition to attract warriors with Tianyin body and eighth-level qualifications.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and gossiped, "Fatty, Lan Ruofeng and Zhuang Yu have had a falling out. Are they just flirting, or are they really having a falling out?"
"They really had a falling out. I heard that Zhuang Yu had a Heavenly Yin body, and Lan Ruofeng had concealed Zhuang Yu's physical condition. When Zhuang Yu found out, he thought Lan Ruofeng had bad intentions, so he and he had a falling out."
"What is the Tianyin Body?" Ye Shi asked curiously.
"The Tianyin body is a special physique. Practicing dual cultivation with someone who also has the Tianyin body can greatly improve the progress of cultivation. It is said that the first person to break the Yuanyang of the Tianyin body will gain the most benefits. I just don't know if Zhuang Yu is still in perfect condition now." Fu Yuanbao touched his chin, a gleam in his eyes.
Ye Shi frowned. A large amount of information flooded into his mind. Ye Shi felt that his brain was not enough.
"This kid has such a special physique! No wonder Lan Ruofeng watches him so closely. I think Lan Ruofeng has probably succeeded." Ye Shi said thoughtfully.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do you know that Zhuang Yu possesses the Heavenly Yin Body?"
"When Zhuang Yu and Lan Ruofeng were arguing, other people heard it." Jin Yuanbao smiled awkwardly.
"These two people are so weird. Can't they find a place where there is no one to quarrel?" Ye Shi rolled his eyes.
Mu Chen sneered and said, "How do you know that Zhuang Yu deliberately let people know?"
"Why did he do this?" Ye Shi asked puzzledly.
Mu Chen shrugged his shoulders. With Zhuang Yu's special physique, the Tianyin body, his value would increase again.
Moreover, if Zhuang Yu dumped Lan Ruofeng without a reason, people who didn't know the truth might think that Zhuang Yu was heartless. However, Zhuang Yu dumped Lan Ruofeng because Lan Ruofeng coveted his physique, then it was all Lan Ruofeng's fault.
It seems that Lan Ruofeng will be cannon fodder soon.
