If they had met at the task hall.

Mu Jinyu would directly say that he could kill a cultivator at the Life and Death Realm and discuss increasing academic credits with him.

Xuu Changqing would definitely think he's a fool, not even bother to pay attention to him, and just walk away.

But now, Mu Jinyu has already proven himself with his strength.

Although Xuu Changqing himself is at the Late Broken Void Realm Stage, after fully activating his Foreign Race bloodline, he can barely contend with a cultivator at the early stage of the Life-and-Death Realm.

And if someone could entangle a Life and Death Realm cultivator for a while, he even has an ace up his sleeve, with a fifty percent chance to kill a cultivator at the early stage of the Life-and-Death Realm.

Although the probability isn't a hundred percent, fifty percent is not low.

That's why Xuu Changqing issued such a task in the task hall.

And now, Mu Jinyu says he can directly kill his Life-and-Death Realm mortal enemy, discussing the increase of academic credits.

Xuu Changqing didn't hesitate much and immediately agreed, "Alright, if you can directly help me kill that Life and Death Realm mortal enemy, I'll give you all my remaining seven hundred credits and owe you a favor? Is that acceptable?"

Although it seems that to offer a thousand credits for killing a great figure at the early stage of the Life-and-Death Realm is a lot, it seems like the person accepting the bounty would earn.

But in fact, very few people would take on such a task.

A thousand credits are far from enough.

Otherwise, why would Xuu Changqing bother to publish this task in the task hall, instead of directly finding fellow Senior Students to ask them for help? Wouldn't that be better?

So, Xuu Changqing spoke to Mu Jinyu in an asking tone, and finally even humbly said, "Is that acceptable?"

It's hardly the demeanor of a Senior Student toward an Intermediate Student.

"Hmm, it's acceptable."

When Mu Jinyu heard Xuu Changqing's words, although he also felt the credits weren't much, seeing that Xuu Changqing seemed to genuinely have no more credits, he finally agreed.

After all, he was originally just assisting Xuu Changqing, helping him to kill a Life and Death Realm mortal enemy, it would have taken just five minutes to earn three hundred credits.

Now it's more than tripled, but he has to take a great risk to kill a Life-and-Death Realm opponent.

He might even have to pay a considerable price and use some trump cards.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this deal isn't quite worthwhile.

However, Mu Jinyu didn't want to spend time looking for suitable tasks again.

So that's that.

After all, killing a cultivator at the early stage of the Life-and-Death Realm for him is almost as difficult as entangling the opponent for five minutes, earning an additional seven hundred credits is fair enough.

"Alright, thank you..."

Xuu Changqing could see that Mu Jinyu wasn't quite satisfied with the increase in academic credits either.

But in the end, he still agreed, perhaps because he didn't want to bother finding other suitable tasks.

But anyway, for whatever reason, it was worth thanking Mu Jinyu for offering his help.

"So, when do we set off? Brother, do you need to make any preparations?"

After expressing his gratitude, Xuu Changqing asked somewhat impatiently.

Obviously, he had long wanted to return to Muyun Province to seek revenge on that Life-and-Death Realm mortal enemy, but due to strength constraints, he stayed within the Dongyue Mansion, looking for a suitable partner to go together.

Now that Mu Jinyu has agreed, he naturally hopes to head to Muyun Province immediately.

To prevent any unexpected changes over time.

So that the mortal enemy wouldn't escape.

"In such a hurry..."

Mu Jinyu commented casually, then nodded, "Alright, since I don't have anything to do now, let's set off immediately, no need to prepare anything."

"Great, let's go then..."

Hearing this, Xuu Changqing was delighted, nodding repeatedly.

Then, the two of them left the Martial Arts Arena together.

Those Beginner Students were left dumbfounded.

"What's going on?"

"Weren't they just fighting like life and death? Why did they suddenly get so enthusiastic?"

"Yeah, like friends who haven't seen each other for years!"

"Hmm, I get it. They didn't have any conflict; that's not why they fought here. It's because Senior Xuu Changqing issued a task with strength requirements, and since Senior Mu Jinyu's cultivation is only around the Middle Stage of the Void Breaking Realm, it didn't satisfy Senior Xuu Changqing, so they came here for an Actual Combat Assessment!"

"Yes, that's definitely it. Now it's proven that although Senior Mu Jinyu's cultivation is slightly low, his combat power is shockingly strong, defeating Senior Xuu Changqing in just two moves, so Senior Xuu Changqing was pleased and sought Senior Mu Jinyu's help immediately..."

"In this light, Senior Mu Jinyu probably has the strength of a Senior Student, right?"

"Yes, definitely. It's likely he will inevitably become a Senior Student in the future promotion assessment!"

"How impressive, I heard he became an Intermediate Student in just a month. Now, within another month, he'll become a Senior Student?"

"This speed is probably the fastest in our Dongyue Mansion, right?"

"Probably, I haven't heard of anyone progressing this fast!"

"Do you think he could become a mentor within half a year, the Institute Head in about a year, and rise to become the Mansion Master of our Dongyue Mansion in a few years?"

"This... might be possible, but the difficulty is incredibly high..."

"..."

Mu Jinyu and Xuu Changqing left the Martial Arts Arena, unaware that those Beginner Students were already talking about him being able to seize Wei Qiankun's position as Mansion Master within a few years.

If he knew, he'd probably just smile wryly.

The two headed straight toward the teleportation platform outside Dongyue Mansion.

Along the way, they naturally introduced themselves.

Mu Jinyu then learned Xuu Changqing's name, and Xuu Changqing learned Mu Jinyu's name.

Mu Jinyu thought to himself, "Xuu Changqing, the name does sound familiar..."

And Xuu Changqing, after a moment of pause, looked complexly at Mu Jinyu, saying, "So you're that Mu Jinyu..."

It was clear that he had heard of Mu Jinyu as well.

He knew some information about him.

Such as his first place in the entrance assessment.

Advancing to an Intermediate Student within a month.

He's also a Pureblooded Human Race individual, possessing the phenomenon "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains"!

And so on...

Mu Jinyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's me. I didn't expect you'd heard of me too."

"Yes, I've heard many things about you, but I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I always thought they were exaggerated. But now I see, they're not exaggerated at all."

Xuu Changqing suddenly sighed.

In the rumors, if Mu Jinyu hadn't been born in the wrong era, he would have had the demeanor of a Human Emperor.

Originally, when he heard this rumor, he secretly sneered, thinking that those who spread such tales clearly had no idea what the demeanor of a Human Emperor meant.

That they would dare to say such things.

But today, after being defeated by Mu Jinyu in just two moves, he now believes that even though this claim is indeed a bit exaggerated, if Mu Jinyu were to go back to the Desolate Ancient Era, becoming a Human King wouldn't be impossible!

In this era, however, Pureblooded Human Race individuals have no prospects, and his "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains" phenomenon is unfortunately quite wasted.

"By the way, senior, I heard that you're ranked within the top fifty among the Senior Students? If so, why didn't you directly ask your classmates for help? Why go and issue a task to find a suitable Intermediate Student?"

Mu Jinyu thought of something at this moment, asking curiously.
