78: Chapter 78 The Rich Second Generation Charters a Plane
Rejuvenation of All Things—this is an extremely special S-Rank Ability.
It could be said that this ability was born solely for healing.
Most crucially, Rejuvenation of All Things possesses a truly Heaven-Defying ability—Life Swap.
Using Source Power as fuel and the Divine Soul as the fuse to activate the ability, one can bring a person on the verge of death back to "spring."
Principal Lin He's gaze froze, and the shock on her face could no longer be hidden.
She knew this was the most suitable person to be her Disciple; no matter how one looked at it, she was perfect.
"Good! From today on, I am your teacher, and you are my only Disciple."
Principal Lin He directly took her on as her final personal Disciple.
After a simple apprenticeship ceremony, the ritual was complete, and the teacher-Disciple relationship between the two was established.
Afterward, Su Mu took Lin Ruoxi back, while Leng Jing stayed behind.
"Starting her studies right after the ceremony, Principal Lin is even stricter than I imagined!"
Su Mu and Lin Ruoxi walked on the way home.
"Brother Mu, will Sister Leng be like you, training every day and often not being at home?"
Lin Ruoxi looked pitiful, as helpless as a child who had just gotten lost.
"No, Brother Mu and Sister Leng will always be with Xiao Xi."
After a slight hesitation, Su Mu continued.
"In a few days, Brother Mu is going to participate in a very big competition. Is Xiao Xi willing to go and cheer for Brother?"
Lin Ruoxi's eyes instantly lit up; a child's mood is like summer weather, sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy.
"I'm willing! I want to go cheer for Brother."
Su Mu rubbed Lin Ruoxi's little head.
"Good! In a few days, you and Sister Leng will go together. Brother Mu will take Xiao Xi for a good day of fun in Jingdu."
The little girl skipped ahead of Su Mu, walking on the landscaped steps, arms outstretched to maintain her balance as much as possible.
Spectator tickets for the University Ability Competition would be available for online sale one month before the competition began.
With over a billion people in all of Huaxia scrambling for fewer than twenty thousand tickets, they would be sold out almost the instant they went on sale.
Although there were scalped tickets online, the prices were extremely high, and some scalpers sold fakes.
Fortunately, participants had family tickets, which also offered the best viewing positions.
"Oh no! I haven't reported to Professor Lu for nine days. He won't kick me out of the Representative Team, will he?"
Su Mu gave a bitter smile; if it weren't for the family tickets, he probably wouldn't have remembered to report in until now.
After sending Lin Ruoxi back to the villa, Su Mu set off for the Bailian Tower.
To ensure that tactics wouldn't be leaked in advance, the special training grounds were specially approved by the school. Students who hadn't registered were not allowed to enter.
As luck would have it, Su Mu had never been here before, so he hadn't registered.
"Hello, Professor Lu!"
Su Mu said with little confidence.
"Who is this?"
"Professor Lu, please stop joking with me. I know I was wrong."
Su Mu softened his tone.
"I've been focused on a Breakthrough in Rank these past few days, so I didn't notice the time."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at the entrance of Bailian Tower."
Su Mu answered dully.
"Beep, beep, beep—"
The call was hung up directly.
Su Mu looked at the disconnected phone and unconsciously began to grumble.
"Why are the old men at Modu Ability University all so flighty?"
"Who are you calling flighty?"
Su Mu was startled, and a curse slipped out.
"Crap!"
Su Mu was in a fluster.
"Professor, listen to my sophistry—no! Listen to my explanation."
Regardless, Professor Lu Ming was famously steady at Modu Ability University.
"Bam!"
Su Mu was hit hard on the head with a fist.
"You just said you were focused on a Breakthrough in Rank these past few days. What Rank are you now?"
"Advanced Second Tier!"
Professor Lu Ming's forehead darkened. Weren't you Advanced Second Tier before? Being Advanced Second Tier now, isn't that just tricking me?
As he spoke, he reached out again to hit Su Mu.
Seeing the fist about to come down, Su Mu immediately raised his hands to protect his head and spoke.
"I'm only one extraordinary meridian away from breaking through to the Third Tier. I can definitely break through to the Third Tier before the competition starts."
Professor Lu Ming's raised hand immediately changed to support Su Mu's arm.
"Good boy, I knew you could do it."
Su Mu cursed inwardly.
"Rest assured, Professor Lu, I definitely won't let you down."
One old, one young, their bond seemed deep.
If Yang Wendao saw this scene, he would probably think Professor Lu Ming was trying to steal his Disciple.
Subsequently, Su Mu was led into the exclusive special training arena.
"Good! Our team is finally complete today!"
As he spoke, he gave Su Mu a sharp glare.
"There are only three days left until the University Ability Competition begins. Today is our last day of special training.
I won't say much more. Everyone sitting here is the most outstanding student I have ever seen. I believe you can achieve glory that will draw the attention of the entire world on the stage of the competition."
Professor Lu Ming began the pre-match mobilization, making everyone's blood boil with his speech.
"Modu Ability University!"
Finally, Professor Lu Ming shouted.
"Will win!!"
...
After successfully obtaining the spectator tickets, Su Mu handed the exquisite tickets with gold-stamped letters to Leng Jing and Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi carefully stroked the ticket, looking just like a child who had received a new toy.
"Does Sister Leng have time to go?"
Having just become a Disciple, Su Mu wasn't sure if Principal Lin He had assigned her any study tasks.
"Of course I'm going, otherwise who would cheer for you?
Besides, I heard from Xiao Xi that you're taking her to play in Jingdu. Are you not taking me?"
Leng Jing's tone was somewhat playful,
And also a bit... relaxed and joyful.
It was a kind of relaxation she hadn't had before, as if she were radiating an unprecedented confidence.
"Good! Then our family of three will all go to Jingdu."
All three of them laughed very happily.
Early the next morning, the three of them packed their things.
It was like traveling from Jianglan City to Modu, but this time they were taking a plane.
This time Su Mu didn't consult with Leng Jing and directly bought first-class tickets.
It wasn't until Su Mu brought the two of them to the first-class cabin that Leng Jing gave Su Mu a resentful look.
But this time, Leng Jing didn't say anything more.
"Xiao Mu, you're wasting money again."
Su Mu was actually a bit of a miser; when he went to the Qingyuan Base, he had always stayed in the free basic suites.
He had also always worn C-Rank combat suits.
"Not at all! Both Xiao Xi and I wanted to fly first class, so the minority must submit to the majority.
Right, Xiao Xi?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded like a woodpecker.
"Yes, yes."
Looking at the two of them acting like children, Leng Jing shook her head with a smile on her lips.
It was actually the first time all three of them had been on a plane, and sitting in their seats, they couldn't help but look out the windows.
Just as the plane was about to take off, a man wearing a neat suit and sunglasses walked in.
He shouted to the entire business cabin,
"Our Young Master Bai has chartered the business cabin of this plane. Everyone must leave here within ten minutes."
As he spoke, two more people wearing the same black suits and sunglasses came in behind him, preparing to drive the people in the cabin out.
Su Mu frowned, feeling that this person was somewhat mentally ill.
It wasn't that he resented people chartering cabins; as long as you're willing to pay, let alone switching cabins, I'd even switch planes.
But to just shout a sentence without offering anything—who would bother with you?
Sure enough, the people in the cabin ignored them entirely, all sitting steadily in their original seats.
At the same time, Su Mu patted the back of Leng Jing's hand, signaling her to sit peacefully.
As for Lin Ruoxi, this little girl's heart was incredibly large; she didn't care at all.
