31: Chapter 31 The System of the Superpower University in Shanghai

"Senior Sister! No more, there's really not a single drop left."

Su Mu, who hadn't slept at all yesterday, had pulled another all-nighter today.

"Senior Sister, I'm just a small fry at the Advanced Rank-1 level. How could I possibly have this much Source Power?"

Su Mu slumped on the sofa in the training room, his Source Power completely exhausted.

He had been casting Chidori non-stop for the entire night.

Mu Feng finally managed to reach the entry level of Chidori just as dawn was breaking.

Next, Mu Feng would need to practice Chidori until she reached the proficient level.

Only then could she learn Rapid Lightning Chidori.

However, Mu Feng insisted on seeing Rapid Lightning Chidori again.

In the end, after using Rapid Lightning Chidori twice in a row, Su Mu finally drained every last bit of his Source Power.

Staggering back to his villa, he flopped straight onto the bed and fell fast asleep.

Meanwhile, in Yang Wendao's villa, Mu Feng was still practicing Chidori.

Yang Wendao walked in and watched Mu Feng as she continued her practice.

He walked over and sat down. Seeing her teacher enter, Mu Feng also walked over and sat beside Yang Wendao.

"Old man, how do you have the time to come watch me train?"

Usually, Yang Wendao was very at ease with Mu Feng. This girl might be eccentric, but she was extremely hardworking when it came to training.

"I originally came to check on Su Mu, but who knew that kid would look like he'd been sucked dry just now.

Did you do something to him?"

Yang Wendao asked despite already knowing the answer. In truth, he had come to remind Mu Feng to be a bit more mindful; after all, Su Mu was only an Advanced Rank-1 ability user.

If he constantly exhausted his Source Power like this, it could easily leave behind hidden injuries.

Mu Feng felt a bit guilty. "I didn't do anything, we were just practicing combat techniques."

“...”

Su Mu slept for an entire day, only waking up when night fell.

'Whoosh—'

Su Mu soon stepped out of the shower.

Now that he was fully settled in Modu, Su Mu's cultivation path needed to get back on the right track.

Su Mu planned to go into the wild to hunt ferocious beasts and continue harvesting conversion points.

However, he needed to make some preparations before going, starting with equipment.

Although Su Mu had a B-grade alloy combat spear, he lacked armor and a Combat Suit.

When he participated in the Ability College Entrance Examination, Su Mu had used the lowest D-grade Combat Suit, which was left in tatters after the exam.

Secondly, he needed to prepare some medicine. After all, hunting beasts in the wild was different from the Ability College Entrance Examination.

Without some life-saving measures prepared, things could easily go wrong.

There were quite a few things to prepare, so he needed to summon a helper.

Su Mu: Are you there, Senior Sister?

Mu Feng: What's up, Little Junior Brother?

Su Mu: Just asking around, where can I get a Combat Suit and medicine at Modu Ability University?

Mu Feng: They have them in the school's Credit Shop and the black market outside the school. What are you planning to do?

Su Mu: Getting ready to go out and hunt ferocious beasts.

After he sent the last message, Mu Feng didn't reply.

A moment later...

The doorbell rang downstairs. Su Mu appeared downstairs at top speed and opened the door.

"Sister Mu Feng, why did you come over directly?"

"Why? Am I not welcome?"

"No, it's just that Sister Leng Jing and Xiao Xi are both asleep. I'm afraid of waking them up."

"Oh? You're afraid of disturbing them, but you're not afraid of disturbing me?"

Mu Feng crossed her arms and looked at Su Mu.

"Senior Sister, you must have been practicing combat techniques! Besides, I didn't even call you!"

"Fine, I'll take you to the black market outside the school."

Su Mu followed her immediately.

"Why not go to the Credit Shop on campus?"

"The items in the Credit Shop can only be bought with credits. You haven't officially enrolled yet, so you can't buy anything."

Su Mu came to a sudden realization.

"Senior Sister, tell me about the school's credits."

Su Mu didn't understand the school's system yet, and since someone who knew was right in front of him, he might as well ask.

"As a top-tier Ability University, Modu Ability University's management system is quite unique.

Simply put, it's a credit system. There is only one unified currency in the school, and that is credits.

Everything in the school requires credits: eating, clothing, housing, travel, cultivation, equipment, and so on.

You could even say that without credits, you can't move an inch in this school.

Moreover, you can skip classes or play truant; nobody cares what you do."

Su Mu was eager to try.

"Then how do you get credits?"

"There are many ways: challenging the rankings, performing missions, exam ranking rewards, grade competitions, and so on. There are many avenues to earn credits.

However, there's a great opportunity right in front of you to earn a large amount of credits."

Su Mu was very excited; he was extremely interested in anything that could improve his strength.

"The Freshman Competition. First place gets 1,000 credits."

Ding! As a freshman at Modu Ability University, the Freshman Competition is a brand-new start. The host has the following choices.

1. As the person with the highest score in the history of the Ability College Entrance Examination, take first place in the Freshman Competition. Reward: Source Power Cultivation Method proficiency +1.

2. Let nature take its course; it doesn't matter what rank you achieve. Reward: 1% increase in Source Power.

3. As an expert, you should learn to control your score and intentionally rank 250th in the entire grade. Reward: 1% increase in Soul Spirit.

There was nothing to hesitate about; he chose option one immediately.

Su Mu always felt that his cultivation was too slow, but the proficiency of the Source Power Cultivation Method was very hard to increase. It was basically a matter of slow, grinding work, improving bit by bit through the accumulation of time.

But now, he had a chance to directly increase his proficiency.

"Senior Sister, when is the Freshman Competition?"

"The second day after school starts. A few days ago, people started filling out their college entrance preferences. School starts one week after the results of those preferences come out.

Calculating it, it should be a little over a week from now."

"That's great!"

Su Mu's face was full of fighting spirit.

"Looking at you, you must want to take first place in the Freshman Competition, right?

However, I heard that a genius from Guangdong Province has also come to our Modu Ability University this year.

I heard his Ability College Entrance Examination score was also over a thousand points. The pressure is on!"

Mu Feng teased.

Su Mu was noncommittal. Who could possibly be his match?

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Mu Feng spoke again.

"By the way, if you don't take first place in the Freshman Competition, you might be mocked!"

Su Mu tilted his head.

"Huh?"

"Out of your nine senior brothers and sisters, only one of them wasn't the first place in their Freshman Competition.

That would be your Fourth Senior Brother. So, all these years, whenever the Freshman Competition is mentioned, he gets mocked.

If you don't take first place, you might be mocked too."

Mu Feng blinked her eyes, looking slightly playful.

However, her wavy hair and curvaceous figure seemed quite at odds with that playful expression.

"Then Fourth Senior Brother might have to be mocked for a while longer.

But it doesn't matter. After my Freshman Competition is over, no one will care about the old ones anymore."

"I didn't expect you to be quite so mischievous, Little Junior Brother."

Mu Feng laughed happily.

The two of them walked out of the school together. Because they were fellow disciples and Mu Feng had a carefree personality,

they walked somewhat close to each other, though there was always a distance between them.

As luck would have it, someone saw the two of them walking out together as they were leaving the school gate.

It was originally a non-issue, but given the timing and the way Mu Feng was laughing heartily,

that person directly snapped a photo. However, because of the angle, it looked as if the two were walking pressed against each other.
