Dragon King Hall's Legend
Chapter 1824: Taking the Task! Xuu Changqing! Let’s Give It a Try!
"In three to five days, dealing with a master at the early stage of the Life-and-Death Realm and earning three hundred credits, that's pretty good."
Mu Jinyu looked at the task, eyes flickering, deciding to take on this task.
Other tasks either took too much time and offered low credits, or offered high credits but wasted a lot of time.
This one is quite nice; three hundred credits are enough for him to use for now.
Most importantly, it doesn't waste much time and isn't dangerous.
It said to resist the master at the early stage of the Life-and-Death Realm for five minutes; he could even kill this person directly.
Mu Jinyu was not worried that taking this task would result in helping bad people or mistakenly killing good ones.
Dongyue Mansion would not allow random killings, which were strictly prohibited.
And the tasks issued by the students would be analyzed by mentors for specific data and information to ensure that it wouldn't assist evildoers and lose integrity.
Since this task passed the review, it was issued for estimation by others.
Obviously, the master at the early stage of the Life-and-Death Realm targeted by the task is likely not a good person.
It is very likely that this person conspired to seize the throne, killed the family members of the student issuing the task, and seized the position of the Clan Leader of that family, so the student wants to avenge their loved ones without losing righteousness.
So, Mu Jinyu is not worried he would mistakenly kill a good person or assist evildoers.
"Alright, I'll take this task."
Mu Jinyu took out his Identity Plaque and pointed at the task.
Soon, he took on the task.
Not long after.
A senior student with cultivation at the late Broken Void Realm Stage hurriedly arrived at the task hall.
"Beep beep!"
The senior student used his Identity Plaque to confirm the person who took his issued task.
At this time, Mu Jinyu's Identity Plaque on him flashed a few times.
"Hmm?!"
Seeing Mu Jinyu's Identity Plaque light up, the senior student frowned.
Worried that Mu Jinyu may have taken another task, and coincidently someone else was confirming the subject, causing the coincidental flashing, he pressed a few more times.
This time, he pressed three longs and two shorts, discovering the same flashing rhythm on Mu Jinyu's Identity Plaque.
This made him completely sure that Mu Jinyu was the one who accepted his task.
"There's no need to confirm further; I accepted your task."
Mu Jinyu now understood it was this person who issued the task to go to Muyun Province to help him contest for the position of Family Head, and thus spoke telepathically.
Initially, he hadn't taken such a task where the issuer had to come out and accompany, so he wasn't clear on why the Identity Plaque flashed like that.
But after the Identity Plaque flashed twice, seeing the senior student's unbelieving look, how could he not understand? It was the other verifying the task's recipient.
"Why would a mid-level student like you accept this task?"
The senior student saw Mu Jinyu approaching him for a conversation, feeling dissatisfied.
He accused, "I clearly stated that only those with cultivation in the late Broken Void Realm Stage can accept the task, needing to withstand five minutes under the assault from the early-stage cultivator of the Life-and-Death Realm. Do you think someone at the Fourth Layer of the Void Breaking Realm can manage?"
"What nonsense!"
The senior student's tone was extremely dissatisfied.
If he wasn't a senior student and Mu Jinyu merely a mid-level student, he might have taken him to the Life and Death Platform for a proper fight.
After all, with Mu Jinyu accepting the task, canceling it would nullify the task altogether.
And re-issuing the task requires passing reviews, confirmation, and costs several credits to post.
This reckless act by Mu Jinyu costs him dozens of credits; the real issue is wasting his time, which he finds the most frustrating!
He was anxious to rush back, kill the man, avenge his family, and reclaim the position of Family Head.
Seeing this senior student furiously reprimand him, Mu Jinyu was unbothered, understanding that his cultivation seemingly didn't meet the standard, making the other feel like it was a wasted trip, wasting time, which seems reasonable.
With a faint smile, Mu Jinyu said, "I dared to take on this task naturally because I have confidence. Senior, why not spar with me a bit to see if I can match your level? This would prove my capability, wouldn't it?"
"Hmm?!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words and seeing his confident appearance, the senior student frowned before relaxing, taking a deep look at Mu Jinyu and saying earnestly, "Fine, let's go out and try hand-to-hand!"
After speaking, he turned to walk towards the task hall.
Since Mu Jinyu already wasted considerable time, if Mu Jinyu actively wants to try his hand, if he truly has the ability to help, it's better, saving time re-issuing the task.
And if Mu Jinyu can't manage, he can take the chance to properly teach this fool a lesson, letting him understand not to recklessly accept tasks!
He also has the opportunity to vent his frustration.
Mu Jinyu smiled slightly, following the other out.
Once they leave.
The many students pondering over which task to accept in the task hall suddenly began heated discussions.
"Hey, wasn't that senior one of the top fifty ranked in the senior students, Xuu Changqing?"
"Yes, it was indeed him. That means the task seeking students at the late Broken Void Realm Stage was issued by him?"
"Yes, the task was just accepted, and he rushed here; it must be his issued task."
"That guy is only at the Fourth Layer of the Void Breaking Realm, considered weak even among the middle stage; where did he get the courage to accept this task?"
"I guess Xuu Changqing is now extremely angry, and they went out likely for Xuu Changqing to properly reprimand that guy."
"I vaguely heard that there's been some upheaval in the Xuu Family behind Xuu Changqing recently; I didn't expect it to be the Xuu Family of Muyun Province, a family second only to the royal clan, with masters at the Life-and-Death Realm level!"
"..."
Mu Jinyu soon followed Xuu Changqing away from the task hall to a less-populated Martial Arts Arena.
"Come on, let me see where your courage comes from to accept my task with your cultivation at the Fourth Layer of the Void Breaking Realm!"
Xuu Changqing stood firm in the Martial Arts Arena, speaking coldly.
Mu Jinyu maintained a three meters distance from him, replying calmly, "Naturally, it comes from my strength."
"Hey..."
"It's senior student Xuu Changqing!"
"Why is he competing against a mid-level student?"
"Isn't this bullying?"
"That's not necessarily the case; maybe the mid-level student challenged Senior Xuu Changqing, seeking guidance..."
As Mu Jinyu and Xuu Changqing prepared to fight.
A few beginner students in the Martial Arts Arena couldn't help but discuss animatedly.
Their eyes sparkled, eager to see the fight unfold.
After all, witnessing a senior student pummel a mid-level student is rare.
Most mid-level students are self-aware, even if angered by senior students, they don't dare to fight and choose compensation to quell matters.
Seeing someone like Mu Jinyu willing to fight a senior student ranked in the top fifty is indeed rare.
