94: Chapter 94 Master-Level Gun Skill Overwhelms

Mu Feng nudged Su Mu's shoulder.

"This A-rank Combat Technique, Eye of Prediction, that you created yourself is indeed very useful. If a commentator had this Combat Technique, they would definitely be incredibly professional."

Su Mu shrugged. This Combat Technique wasn't actually created by him, but to be honest, he still felt that its limitations were quite significant.

Mu Feng put her hand on Su Mu's shoulder and said to him with a grin:

"Junior Brother! Let's negotiate."

Su Mu understood this Senior Sister completely; whenever she showed this kind of expression, she was usually asking him for a favor.

Pushing Mu Feng's arm off, he said solemnly:

"Senior Sister, just say what's on your mind. Don't always do this, people might misunderstand."

Shaking her head, Mu Feng finally voiced her request.

Actually, it wasn't much; she just wanted to teach the Eye of Prediction to Mu Luan. But the Combat Technique belonged to Su Mu, and it hadn't been published yet.

"Senior Sister, I can understand you wanting to be good to your brother, but you're making things very difficult for your Junior Brother!"

Su Mu said, bobbing his head in an incredibly punchable manner.

"One hundred credits!"

Su Mu immediately whipped out his phone and said to Mu Feng,

"Transfer the credits first!"

With a dark expression, Mu Feng transferred the 100 credits over.

"Look at how money-grubbing you are! I'd be embarrassed to say I know you in public."

Su Mu put away his phone, feeling extremely happy. He had used up all his credits at the Seven Star Platform, but now he was finally no longer broke.

He would transfer some credits to Sister Leng Jing when he got back. She was now considered a student of Modu Ability University, and she couldn't do without credits.

Thinking of this, Su Mu unconsciously smiled.

"Um! Senior Sister Mu, shouldn't we go down and help Senior Duan Tao?"

Huang Yuanyuan, a first-year healing-type support student, asked the two in a low voice.

Professor Lu had already gone to the rostrum, so Mu Feng was currently the one with the most authority here.

Yet ever since the final explosion on the arena stage, the two had been chatting on the side, seemingly completely ignoring Senior Duan Tao on the stage.

Although Senior Duan Tao had a slight upper hand in his final Move and successfully won the battle to advance to the finals,

the problem was that Senior Duan Tao had also sustained quite severe injuries.

Only after being reminded did the two suddenly realize.

"Quick, go down and get him. Huang Yuanyuan, heal him."

The people from Modu Ability University quickly went into action, rushing onto the arena stage to help Senior Duan Tao down.

Long Kui, who was next to the host, quickly began her commentary. After the previous two 'fake matches', they had finally welcomed a thrilling and splendid showdown. Long Kui was also very excited, as she could finally showcase her commentary skills instead of desperately trying to salvage the situation.

She commented for nearly twenty minutes, covering everything from weapon clashes to ability matchups, and from Combat Technique confrontations to trump card showdowns.

Long Kui described it all with incredible eloquence.

Su Mu secretly sighed. With this kind of eloquence, why even Cultivate? It was a complete waste of talent. She should just switch careers to become a public speaker. If she failed an exam and went on to study art, it would be an absolute killer combo.

"Senior Duan Tao! I really didn't expect you to have such a powerful Combat Technique."

"Holy shit! That Frost Dragon of yours was so cool it had no hair!"

"Well, dragons don't have hair to begin with!"

...

"Alright, let Senior Duan Tao rest well first."

Mu Feng took charge of the situation and quieted everyone down. Her status as the big sister of Modu Ability University was still authoritative.

Long Kui commented with excitement and still wanted to say more, but she finally stopped after the host reminded her multiple times that she had run over time.

Speaking of which, Ban Chao was quite unlucky. If he hadn't met Senior Duan Tao in the semifinals last year, he probably could have taken second place, and this year was the same.

Compared to the ice-and-fire duel between Senior Duan Tao and Ban Chao, the subsequent match was much calmer. Both of them possessed Reinforcement Type abilities, and although their fight was also full of solid, flesh-striking blows,

with such a brilliant performance preceding them, their battle felt a bit lacking in comparison.

In the end, however, the runner-up from the previous year still successfully advanced.

Up to this point, the contestants entering the finals were exactly the same as last year.

This also aligned with what most people thought, because most Geniuses valued both talent and hard work. Relying solely on talent could give one a temporary lead, but it was impossible to stay miles ahead of the pack forever.

Talent grants me the chance to reach the peak, while hard work builds the steps for me to climb.

This was also why Mu Feng asked Su Mu to beat up Mu Luan. Mu Luan's current state was a textbook example of having talent but not working hard.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't work hard at all, but rather like a person who could score 100 on an exam but only answered 80 points' worth of questions.

But when top Geniuses met, if one only put in eighty percent effort, they would inevitably pale in comparison.

"Su Mu of Modu Ability University versus Mu Luan of Hangcheng Ability University.

Will both combatants please enter the stage!"

Hearing the host call his name, Su Mu shouldered his long spear and prepared to go onto the arena stage.

Sorry, Brother Mu Luan, but your own sister put a bounty on you, and she offered way too much.

Standing on the arena stage, Su Mu cupped his fists toward Mu Luan.

"Brother Mu Luan, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"

"I've long heard of your elegant demeanor, Brother Su. I finally get to witness it today."

Su Mu turned his head to look in Mu Feng's direction, recalling her instructions before he went up.

"Junior Brother, don't hold back at all. Fight well. If you go too easy on him, I'll deduct your pay."

When he looked at Mu Luan again, there was a bit more 'sympathy' in his eyes.

His Sister Leng Jing was still the best.

"Brother Mu Luan, you must have watched the battle between Senior Duan Tao and Senior Ban Chao just now, right?"

Mu Luan nodded, but he had no idea what Su Mu was getting at.

"I also deeply yearn for such an evenly matched battle, so I'd like to have a fight like that with you as well, Brother Mu Luan."

This was a lie. Su Mu simply wanted to crush Mu Luan in all aspects to complete Mu Feng's task.

Mu Luan immediately agreed, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.

"Good! That would be wonderful!"

With those words, both of them assumed their stances at the same time.

Both adopted the most aggressive opening stances, with the tip of the spear and the tip of the halberd pointing directly at each other.

The usual laziness and playfulness faded from both of their eyes, replaced by sharpness and a keen edge.

Su Mu started with a spinning spear thrust straight at Mu Luan's center. Mu Luan had completely unexpected Su Mu's attack to be so sharp right off the bat, but he still defended calmly.

But Su Mu immediately followed with a flipping sweep, aiming straight for his head.

Mu Luan bent backward to dodge, simultaneously performing a backflip to prevent Su Mu from continuing his assault.

But Su Mu wasn't about to let him off, immediately launching a series of spear thrusts. However, with the distance gained from the backflip, Mu Luan held his Fangtian Halberd horizontally and managed to trap the tip of Su Mu's spear.

But Su Mu didn't panic at all. Gripping the butt of the spear with his right hand, he took a step forward, bending the silver-white long spear into a crescent shape.

With a kick, he used the spear's elasticity to break the trapped spear tip free. As he kicked, Su Mu also spun and swung his spear, delivering a heavy, powerful sweep toward Mu Luan.

"Bang—"

Mu Luan was sent flying dozens of steps back, only stopping when he propped his Fangtian Halberd against the ground.

Cheers immediately erupted from the arena. Su Mu's smooth sequence of consecutive Moves was indeed highly spectacular to watch.

After being pushed back, Mu Luan quickly adjusted his breathing. He hadn't expected Su Mu's attack speed to be so fast and his Move transitions to be so flexible.

Meanwhile, with his Master-level Spear Technique, fighting Mu Luan was incredibly easy for Su Mu; he could beat him up effortlessly.

After recovering his state, Mu Luan raised his halberd and stepped forward again.

The advantage of the Fangtian Halberd lay in breaking through with sheer force, making it extremely powerful in mid-to-long-range combat.

This time, Mu Luan kept a safe distance while maneuvering against Su Mu.

But he still underestimated Su Mu's Master-level Spear Technique. After dodging the attack of the Fangtian Halberd, Su Mu executed a White Phoenix Nod, the tip of his spear aiming straight for Mu Luan's head.

Mu Luan scrambled to defend. Taking advantage of the momentum of the rebounding spear, Su Mu spun his spear to gather power.

The spear shot out like a dragon, instantly unleashing the Return Horse Spear!

The tip of the spear finally came to a halt just one centimeter in front of Mu Luan's throat!
