39: Chapter 39 Senior Sister, You've Been Seen Naked!
Standing under the light, Luo Zhenyue was fingering prayer beads and chanting scriptures.
However, Su Mu, standing over ten meters away, couldn't hear a thing; he only saw a bright, dazzling bald head.
"Eh! Why is he here?"
Su Mu unconsciously voiced the question in his mind.
"Xiao Mu! Do you know that monk?" Leng Jing asked in a low voice, as if afraid of being overheard.
"I wouldn't say I know him, we've just met once. And I even hit him."
Su Mu was actually quite confused; he and this Little Monk shouldn't have any reason to interact.
They had only fought once during the Ability College Entrance Examination, and even then, the Little Monk was the one who sought him out for a fight.
Su Mu didn't even remember what the Little Monk was called.
Nevertheless, he shielded the Leng sisters behind him and walked toward the Little Monk.
He offered a salute with his right hand and said, "I wonder what business your Excellency has with me?"
Hearing Su Mu's voice, the Little Monk raised his head.
"Holy crap!"
Su Mu was startled.
But he couldn't be blamed, because the Little Monk's face was currently black and blue, and his right eye was surrounded by a massive dark bruise.
"What happened to you?"
When the Little Monk saw it was Su Mu, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
"Su Mu! I've come to fight you!"
Su Mu's face darkened.
(￣ー￣)
Standing behind Su Mu, Leng Jing immediately became unsettled upon hearing that this person was here to fight Su Mu.
She was about to rush forward.
But Su Mu held her back.
"Sister Leng! It's okay, he has no ill intent. He's just a martial arts nut."
There were two reasons why Su Mu remembered this Little Monk after only one meeting.
One reason was that among the many students, a monk was simply too conspicuous.
The other reason was that the monk's behavior was too eccentric, as if he had never interacted with people before.
"How about we don't fight today? It's already so late! Besides, the Freshman Competition starts tomorrow."
The Little Monk's expression turned slightly disappointed, but he still bowed, preparing to leave.
Right then.
Ding! Facing the second challenge from Little Monk Luo Zhenyue, the host has the following options:
1. He is merely a defeated opponent, there's no need to fight again; ignore him. Reward: One set of A-grade cultivation resources.
2. He is a respectable opponent; end the challenge and duel Luo Zhenyue in the villa's training room. Reward: One A-grade alloy war spear.
3. A respectable opponent deserves a high-profile battleground; arrange to fight Luo Zhenyue head-on during tomorrow's Freshman Competition. Reward: A-grade combat technique Eye of Prediction.
Su Mu browsed through the options; all three were actually quite good.
However, Su Mu still chose option three. The main reason was that the rewards for options one and two could be bought with money.
But combat techniques were different. After the Chidori incident, Su Mu had roughly guessed that the techniques provided by the system probably didn't exist in reality.
"Luo Zhenyue! It's too late today, and fighting privately isn't appropriate."
"How about this! I challenge you to settle this during tomorrow's Freshman Competition."
Luo Zhenyue, who had already taken two steps away, visibly froze because this was the first time Su Mu had called him by his full name.
It was very formal!
Luo Zhenyue turned back and cupped his fists.
"Accepted! Excellency Su Mu, I will definitely do my utmost to defeat you tomorrow."
Su Mu returned the fist-cupping salute.
This was Luo Zhenyue's edge as a martial artist, and it was the respect of a pugilist.
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the A-grade combat technique Eye of Prediction. It has been placed in the system inventory.
Back inside the villa, Lin Ruoxi looked at Su Mu.
"Brother Mu, that bald brother outside just now was so strange!"
Su Mu looked at Lin Ruoxi with a smile.
"Yeah. I also think that bald brother is very strange. Doesn't he seem particularly mindless?"
"Yeah! Yeah! It just feels like he's a bit silly."
Then Lin Ruoxi tapped her chin with her small hand and finally blurted out a sentence.
"It feels like even if he were cured, he'd still be the type to drool."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Su Mu failed to swallow a mouthful of water and coughed it right out.
"Xiao Xi, who taught you that?"
"No one taught me! I just feel like that bald brother is very dim-witted."
Su Mu was also quite stunned at this moment.
o_o ...
He remembered that the first time he met Luo Zhenyue, his evaluation of him was also that he'd still drool even if cured.
No way!
This is too terrifying.
"Both of you, go to sleep!"
Leng Jing was quite speechless listening to the two of them talk.
As she passed by Su Mu, Leng Jing whispered to him, "Don't lead Xiao Xi astray!"
Su Mu felt rather awkward.
Returning to his room, Su Mu opened the system space to check the A-grade combat technique Eye of Prediction he had just obtained.
Just by the name, it felt very powerful, and it was a skill related to prediction.
As everyone knows, anything associated with prediction is related to time.
Once it involves time, it's bound to be incredibly awesome.
However, after reading the skill description, Su Mu realized he had overthought it.
Eye of Prediction: Converge Source Power into the acupoints around the eyes to stimulate their potential. This allows the user to see through the flow of Source Power within an enemy's body. By observing the enemy's Source Power flow, one can predict their next move.
This was a supportive combat technique. If used well, it could be a trump card for fighting those at a higher stage.
System! Use the universal combat technique learning card.
Ding! universal combat technique learning card used successfully. The A-grade combat technique Eye of Prediction has reached the Entry level.
After successfully learning the technique, Su Mu went to the mirror and activated it.
Nothing happened!
"It seems looking in a mirror won't let me observe the flow of Source Power."
"But I really want to try out the effect of this skill right now. So annoying!"
Su Mu picked up his phone.
At a time like this, he needed a tool person to step up. Was Rapid Lightning Chidori that easy to learn? Of course not!
Su Mu: Senior Sister, do you have time?
Mu Feng: What is it now?
Su Mu: I want to ask for a favor!
At this moment, Mu Feng was lying on her bed, her snowy-white legs swinging up and down, wearing a silk satin camisole nightgown.
But those two thin straps were like disobedient children, constantly sliding down.
"Sure! Junior Brother, seeing as you have the Freshman Competition tomorrow, I didn't seek you out to teach me the technique, yet you've come knocking on my door yourself."
As she spoke, Mu Feng directly replied to Su Mu's message.
Mu Feng: Go to the old man's villa.
After saying that, Mu Feng changed into a tracksuit and headed toward Yang Wendao's villa.
"Junior Brother, let's see if Senior Sister doesn't drain you dry today, not leaving a single drop."
After receiving Mu Feng's message, Su Mu also packed up and headed out.
Inside Yang Wendao's villa training room.
"Speak! What do you want from your Senior Sister in the middle of the night!"
"Um, Senior Sister, how many combat techniques do you know?"
Mu Feng felt Su Mu's question was quite nonsensical.
"Counting the Chidori you taught me, it should be nine in total."
Su Mu sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking that she truly lived up to being the top student of the junior year.
"Senior Sister, could you please demonstrate those techniques? I'd like to observe them."
"Hmm? What's the point? Even if you watch them once, you won't be able to learn them. Besides, none of these techniques were created by me, so I can't teach them to you anyway."
"It doesn't matter, Senior Sister, I just want to take a look; I don't plan on learning them."
Mu Feng was full of confusion, but she still began to perform the combat techniques.
Su Mu immediately activated his skill and then observed the flow of Source Power within Mu Feng's body.
At this moment, Mu Feng didn't realize that she had already been seen through.
