"Whether or not compensation is needed isn't my call either; I have to discuss it with the Mansion Master."

Wang Yeqing said to Mu Jinyu, his face a bit dark.

After speaking, he had someone take Face of Jade away for treatment first.

As for himself, he went to find Mansion Master Wei Qiankun to ask what should be done about this.

After Wang Yeqing left.

The Institute Heads who had been making snide Yin and Yang remarks at Mu Jinyu just now all gave him a strange look, didn't dare say anything more, and hurriedly left with Face of Jade.

Face of Jade counted as the strongest among their little group, yet even she couldn't block a single punch from Mu Jinyu.

If they still dared to keep sniping at him, they really wouldn't have a shred of confidence to back it up.

"Phew..."

Seeing everyone had left, Mu Jinyu let out a light breath, his expression still feeling very helpless.

He'd clearly already fought a full bout with Face of Jade, and in the end it was still uncertain whether he had to compensate.

How was he supposed to feel at ease like that?

"Ai, forget it, whatever. If I have to pay, I don't have any credits anyway, I'll just owe it first."

Mu Jinyu thought for a moment and simply decided not to worry about it.

After all, he didn't have that many credits to pay back with.

Thinking this way, Mu Jinyu started to feel more justified. He looked at the mentor whose expression was a bit odd and asked, "Mentor, is there an even more advanced level combat training room here, like with battle puppets at the Creation Realm level?"

He didn't know why, but he was now able to easily deal with cultivators at the Peak of the Life and Death Realm.

But whatever. Since handling Peak Life and Death Realm was no longer hard for him, if he wanted to try using the Riot-Quelling Sword to execute moves like Sword Dragon Slash, then clearly the Advanced Combat Training Room was no longer sturdy enough to withstand his abuse; he could only see if he could find battle puppets at the Creation Realm level.

"No. Battle puppets at the Life and Death Realm level are already the top-grade ones."

The mentor looked at Mu Jinyu speechlessly in the end and shook his head.

It wasn't that he was afraid Creation Realm battle puppets would also be wrecked and scrapped by Mu Jinyu and that he'd have to shoulder responsibility; it was that they really didn't have puppets of that level here at all.

"None? Then forget it..."

Hearing this, Mu Jinyu let out a light sigh, very depressed.

Ever since purifying his bloodline, he'd wanted to know exactly how much his true combat strength had increased. First he'd gone to Cave Heaven Eleven and destroyed half of someone's bamboo forest, and had no choice but to come here to the combat training rooms to test his strength.

The result? The final outcome seemed to be the same: the battle puppet exploded, and Face of Jade, this Institute Head at the Peak of the Life and Death Realm, ended up heavily injured and face-down as well.

And he still hadn't figured out what level his true combat strength had actually reached.

How could he not feel depressed?

So he'd basically just come here to waste time!

"Sigh..."

Mu Jinyu let out a long sigh, said goodbye to the mentor, and was about to head back to Cave Heaven Eleven first.

"Whoosh!"

Just then.

The void gave a slight tremor.

After that, two figures appeared in this combat training room that now had no battle puppets.

The newcomers were precisely Wang Yeqing and Wei Qiankun.

Wei Qiankun arrived, looked at Mu Jinyu with a trace of surprise in his eyes, and asked softly, "Kid, I heard you blew up the battle puppet? And even beat Institute Head Chi Yanyu into serious injury?"

"Uh, hehe... something like that..."

Seeing the Mansion Master personally arrive and then hearing him recite his own glorious battle results, Mu Jinyu scratched his head somewhat guiltily, speaking a bit embarrassed.

"Not bad!"

Wei Qiankun nodded lightly and said, "I heard you've been worried you'd have to compensate if you broke the battle puppet?"

"Yeah..." When Mu Jinyu heard this, his Spirit immediately lifted. He hurriedly asked, "Do I have to compensate? I don't have many credits right now, I probably can't afford it..."

Wei Qiankun didn't answer that question, and instead asked, "When I was coming over just now, I think I heard you asking if there were Creation Realm battle puppets here?"

"Yeah..." Mu Jinyu nodded and replied, "Because those Life and Death Realm battle puppets and people, it seems... it seems they can't really test out my combat strength, so I wanted to see if there were Creation Realm battle puppets to try against!"

Wei Qiankun chuckled lightly and said, "Then I'll be your sparring partner."

"Huh?!"

Hearing Wei Qiankun's words, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but freeze, staring at him in astonishment, so shocked he couldn't even speak.

He had never thought of having Wei Qiankun be his sparring partner.

Not only did that sound terrifying, it also made him afraid to agree.

Wasn't this Wei Qiankun planning to seize the chance to give him a brutal beating?

Mu Jinyu didn't understand what Wei Qiankun meant. After coming back to his senses, his gaze drifted uncertainly as he looked at him.

Wei Qiankun said with a grin, "Relax, I won't use my peak combat strength to spar with you. Didn't you say you needed someone at the Creation Realm level to test your hand? I'll only fight you with Early Creation Realm level strength. How about it?"

"I..." Listening to him, Mu Jinyu was actually a bit tempted, but still felt it was very weird, and so he hesitated, wanting to say something.

Wei Qiankun laughed and said, "Aren't you worried about the compensation problem? If I spar with you and you can fight me to a standstill, or even if you're at a disadvantage but don't lose too miserably, then I won't hold you accountable for destroying an academy battle puppet!"

"We'll count it as you really did destroy it unintentionally!"

"But if you can't do it, then forget it—you'll have to compensate for the loss!"

Hearing this, Mu Jinyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But Wei Qiankun directly cut him off, still smiling as he said, "Don't say you don't have credits or whatever. I know you spent 100,000 credits to buy that Riot-Quelling Sword!"

"If you don't have credits, then use that Holy Weapon to pay off the debt!"

"I don't mind letting it go back to the Treasure Pavilion to eat dust again!"

Wei Qiankun said indifferently.

"Alright..."

Hearing the slightly threatening tone of the Mansion Master, Mu Jinyu had no choice but to agree.

"Good, then let's head out."

Seeing Mu Jinyu agree, Wei Qiankun suddenly waved his sleeve, and space trembled slightly.

After that, the mentor and Wang Yeqing saw the figures of Mu Jinyu and Wei Qiankun directly vanish from the combat training room, nowhere to be seen.

Clearly, Wei Qiankun had taken Mu Jinyu somewhere else to spar as his training partner, but didn't want others to see it, so he directly took Mu Jinyu away.

Wang Yeqing shook his head slightly. Although he was also quite curious about their upcoming battle,

since Wei Qiankun clearly didn't plan on letting any third party know about it, he wouldn't insist on chasing after them to watch.

"Let's go. Clean up the puppet remnants on the ground. They can still be melted down and reforged."

As he prepared to leave, Wang Yeqing glanced at the Combat Puppet Remnants on the floor and then reminded the mentor before abruptly departing.

The mentor had no choice, gave a bitter smile, and waved a hand to gather up the Combat Puppet Remnants on the ground.

Then he shut down this Advanced Combat Training Room, left this Advanced Combat area, and returned to the outer hall to sit again.
