80: Chapter 80 Mu Luan

Flying from Modu to Kyoto is quite fast, taking about an hour or so to arrive.

The three of them got off the plane and found a hotel right near Kyoto Ability University.

They booked two rooms: Su Mu had one to himself, while Leng Jing and Lin Ruoxi shared the other. Since the little girl was a minor, she couldn't book a room herself.

The representative team from Modu Ability University wouldn't arrive until tomorrow afternoon. The three of them had come to Kyoto early, so they had to pay for their own accommodation and expenses.

As for why they came to Kyoto early? Of course, it wasn't actually to familiarize themselves with the venue for the competition.

Naturally, it was to take the sisters out for a good time around Kyoto.

“Let's go! First, we'll check out the Great Wall. Legend has it that the First Emperor, the strongest Earth-type ability user in Huaxia's history, built it back then to resist the tide of Vicious Beasts.”

After packing his things, Su Mu leaned against the sisters' door and spoke to them.

“Okay! Let's go, let's go.”

They hailed a taxi and went straight to the Great Wall.

However, the July weather was incredibly hot. Before they had even walked a few steps, Lin Ruoxi was already wiping sweat from her forehead.

“Brother Mu, I've decided! In the future, I must have an Awakening for an S-Rank Ice-type Ability!”

“Pfft—”

The water Su Mu had just taken into his mouth immediately sprayed out.

“Sorry, sorry.” The sprayed water accidentally splashed near an old man's feet in front of him, and Su Mu immediately apologized to him.

Then he quickly pulled Lin Ruoxi to the side.

‘My little ancestor, do you think an S-Rank Ability is something you can just awaken whenever you want?’

Looking at Lin Ruoxi's innocent face, Su Mu didn't know what to say.

“Xiao Xi, why do you want to awaken an Ice-type Ability?”

Leng Jing spoke up gently.

“Because if I awaken an Ice-type Ability, I won't have to worry about the heat when climbing the Great Wall in the future.

I could just manifest a giant block of ice. It would definitely be very cool.”

As she spoke, Lin Ruoxi even made a gesture with both hands like a magician performing a trick.

Hearing Lin Ruoxi's explanation, neither of them could help but chuckle.

“Then why does it have to be S-Rank?”

Leng Jing asked, stroking Lin Ruoxi's little head.

Lin Ruoxi's little head looked around, and then she lowered her voice.

“Brother Mu has an S-Rank Ability, and you have an S-Rank Ability too. If my Awakening isn't S-Rank, will you guys not want Xiao Xi anymore?”

Hearing this, Su Mu felt a strange tug at his heart.

A child's heart is both fragile and sensitive, especially for someone like Lin Ruoxi, who had lost her parents and treated Leng Jing and Su Mu as her family.

Su Mu took Lin Ruoxi's hand.

“No! Xiao Xi is our sister. No matter what, we will never abandon Xiao Xi.”

Both of them softly comforted Lin Ruoxi.

“Don't worry, Xiao Xi. Sister Leng didn't have an S-Rank Ability before either. Did Xiao Xi look down on her sister then?”

“No! Xiao Xi likes living with Sister Leng.”

Su Mu also spoke up, “Don't worry, Xiao Xi. I promise you, no matter what Rank of ability you awaken, I will find a way to upgrade your ability to S-Rank.”

He had that confidence now. Moreover, Lin Ruoxi's Awakening was still two years away; by then, he estimated he would be nearly at the seventh Rank.

Suddenly, a wave of cold air drifted over. In this extremely hot weather, the chill instantly caught the attention of the three.

All three looked toward the direction the cold air was coming from.

A square block of ice, more than half a meter on each side, was floating in mid-air.

Fortunately, there weren't many people climbing the Great Wall at this time; otherwise, it would have surely caused a sensation.

Just as Su Mu was wondering why such a large block of ice had appeared, a person stepped out from behind it.

A young man with blue hair tied in a wolf-tail braid, wearing blue shorts and a white ancient-style vest.

He had a smile on his face and was wearing sunglasses.

He looked like a young student on a trip.

However, looking at him, Su Mu felt he seemed somewhat familiar.

“Hello! I just heard what that cute little sister said. It just so happens that I have an Ice-type Ability, so I took the liberty of manifesting a large block of ice.”

The man spoke with a very friendly vibe. Most importantly, his voice was extremely pleasant to hear.

Lin Ruoxi naturally heard what the man said as well. Her grip on Su Mu's hand tightened, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

“Thanks, brother. I was just having a headache trying to figure out how to make my little sister happy.”

He ruffled Lin Ruoxi's hair with doting affection and stepped forward to talk to the man.

“I'm Su Mu. May I ask your name, brother?” Su Mu reached out to shake the man's hand.

“My name is Mu Luan.”

Su Mu finally remembered why this man looked familiar. Wasn't the heroic spirit between his brows just like his loli-voiced Senior Sister?

“Mu Feng, is that you...?”

The sunglasses on Mu Luan's face slid down a bit.

“Mu Feng is my older sister. You know her?”

“Mu Feng is my Senior Sister.”

Su Mu was also very happy and chatted with Mu Luan with a smile.

Mu Luan seemed to remember something, took off his sunglasses, and scrutinized Su Mu's appearance.

“Suddenly!”

He grabbed Su Mu's hand again, very excited.

“So you're the Junior Brother my sister mentioned! My sister often talks about you, even calling you a super Genius.

She also said she'd introduce us during this University Ability Competition.”

Mu Luan's current state could only be described as frantic, a complete contrast to the gentle and refined ancient-style Young Master from just a moment ago.

These two siblings... both have quite the contrast.

Su Mu immediately changed the subject. “By the way, you mentioned the University Ability Competition? Which school's representative team are you on?”

“Oh, right! Forgot to mention. I'm a freshman at Hangcheng University.”

“You're a freshman? Then we might run into each other. But Senior Sister is at Modu Ability University; why did you go to Hangcheng Ability University?”

Normally, Mu Luan would have chosen the same school as his sister, and from his tone, it was clear he had a good relationship with her.

“Sigh—I had no choice. My sister went to Modu Ability University to become the Spear Saint's disciple. Our family is originally from Hangcheng, and since my ability is Ice-type, and there's an Ice Saint at Hangcheng Ability University...

Naturally, I chose Hangcheng Ability University.”

Su Mu was slightly startled. He talked about choosing a university like picking out a cabbage. It seemed the siblings, Mu Luan and Mu Feng, were both absolute Geniuses.

“So Brother Mu Luan is a disciple of the Ice Saint. Your strength must be very great then. If we meet on the field later, I hope you'll go easy on me.”

Afterward, the two began exchanging business-like flattery.

In fact, Mu Luan was indeed quite similar to Mu Feng, both in speech and tone.

It was just that Mu Feng's voice was too loli-like, which made it easy to get distracted.

After chatting for a few minutes, the two exchanged contact information and took their leave.

However, Lin Ruoxi looked at the slowly dissipating ice block with some reluctance.

“Let's go! We're going to try some of Kyoto's specialty food.”

“Okay! I saw someone online say Kyoto has a really delicious drink called Douzhi.

Brother Mu, I want to try it!”

After Mu Luan left, he immediately dialed a number.

The call interface showed two words—Big Sis.

“Hello! Big Sis, guess who I ran into?...”
