Chapter 1150 - 381: Senior Sister Mu Cheng’s Role

Su Yue observed Zhou Yuncan and noticed that the other party had already reached the second grade. He was genuinely happy for him.

Compared to those with cheat-like talents like Wang Lu Feng and Du Jing’s Book, Zhou Yuncan was a bona fide second grade who had broken through purely through perseverance. Looking across all of Wuda, that was still an exceptionally rare existence.

"Haha, don’t joke with me. Right now, you could flick a drop of spit and kill me," Zhou Yuncan shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Don’t put me on a pedestal," Su Yue replied. "Martial Arts Cultivation is a marathon. Wang Lu Feng and I just got a slightly faster start. We’re only in the first half of the race, and no one knows who will push harder in the second half."

Noticing a hint of unease in Zhou Yuncan’s eyes, Su Yue was about to say more, but Zhou Yuncan hastily interjected, "With things like martial arts, one slow step means every step is slow. You don’t need to comfort me; I’m not that fragile. Although I’m running slow right now, I’ll do my best to catch up. If the opportunity arises, we’ll fight side by side again.

"By the way, Liao Ji also broke through to the second grade. He’s always treated you as his imaginary enemy, so don’t actually let him ambush you, haha." Zhou Yuncan patted Su Yue’s shoulder.

Recalling those past days truly brought a sense of nostalgia.

"Haha, keep up the good work, both of you. We’ll definitely have the chance to take the battlefield together again," Su Yue said, giving Zhou Yuncan’s shoulder a firm pat in return.

"Su Yue, did you come to Nanwu to watch Senior Sister Mu Cheng kill the Evil Lice? Oh, right, Senior Sister Mu Cheng is your girlfriend, isn’t she? There’s some Prince from Mandie Country who has nothing better to do than harass her all day. Rumor has it he even wants to marry her and take her back to Mandie Country to be his Princess Consort."

Since Zhou Yuncan had been at Nanwu this whole time, he was well aware of the situation with Xueyang.

"Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang are already here to deal with Xueyang. Since my friends want to show off, there’s no need for me to steal their spotlight. I’ll let them handle it," Su Yue smiled. He had a lot of confidence in Bai Xiaolong.

"It won’t be that easy," Zhou Yuncan sighed, his face indescribably solemn. "If Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang team up, they might have a chance to defeat Xueyang. But in a one-on-one fight, there’s probably no hope.

"According to our analysis, Xueyang has cultivated a peerless combat technique, a type of evasive Secret Technique. Xueyang himself claims that beneath the Grandmaster level, no one can even touch the hem of his clothes.

"After so many battles, all the Fifth-Grade Martial Artists who fought him were completely defeated without exception. They genuinely couldn’t even touch his clothes. Some say that his technique grants him the ability to predict his opponent’s moves. Regardless, he’s incredibly powerful and extremely tricky to deal with."

"It’s fine. If Meng Yang and Bai Xiaolong both lose, I’ll step in personally. I refuse to believe his peerless technique can be used indefinitely," Su Yue sneered.

Even if he couldn’t touch the hem of Xueyang’s clothes, he could still exhaust him to death with his massive reserves of Qi Blood. In the Divine Land, such shameless simp behavior was absolutely not allowed!

"By the way, what’s the deal with the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge? Why does it have to be Mu Cheng who handles it?" Su Yue asked. Having finally caught a Local Bully of Nanwu, he figured Zhou Yuncan should know more than Bai Xiaolong.

"It’s a long story," Zhou Yuncan replied. "When Cang Ji’s targeting array initially fell on Nanwu, the Dao Sect utilized that burst of Spiritual Qi to painstakingly teleport the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge here. Relying on that massive amount of Spiritual Qi, the Dao Sect also successfully activated all of the bridge’s capabilities.

"This was supposed to be a good thing. Cultivating on the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge for a few days can solidify a young martial artist’s foundation, providing immense benefits for future cultivation while allowing for rapid leaps in current progress. However, the problem lies within Cang Ji’s Spiritual Qi.

"This Spiritual Qi is impure and exceptionally sinister. According to the experts, it seems to have manifested some Evil Lice. If these Evil Lice aren’t eliminated, martial artists can easily suffer from poisoned meridians during cultivation. One of the Nanwu Students even had his Qi Ring crippled by them; it’s extremely dangerous.

"The Evil Lice are only the size of sesame seeds and move incredibly fast. The Research Institute tried many methods but couldn’t find a way to wipe them out. In the end, West Martial suggested letting Senior Sister Mu Cheng give it a try.

"Her sword strikes are extremely fast and precise. Since Grandmasters cannot step onto the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge, she is the most accurate low-level martial artist with a sword. Her method actually worked, and she has already exterminated quite a few Evil Lice."

"As long as they can be exterminated, that’s good," Su Yue nodded.

He hadn’t expected Mu Cheng to possess such an ability. Come to think of it, if he were facing those bugs himself, he wouldn’t have any other method besides using a vacuum cleaner. Trying to hack at fleas with his Divine Soldiers Battle Axe would be useless even if he tired himself to death.

"Sigh, you’re too optimistic," Zhou Yuncan complained. "Although Senior Sister can kill the Evil Lice, she can’t wipe them all out at once due to weapon limitations. Whenever she stops to rest, the Evil Lice reproduce another batch. They must be cleared out entirely in one go, without leaving a single one behind.

"But none of the swords from the Divine Land can last very long inside the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge; they break far too quickly. Once Senior Sister’s rhythm is disrupted, even if she swaps to a new sword, she can’t easily get back into the zone. It’s highly troublesome. The Research Institute sent over a brand-new longsword today. Hopefully, its durability will be a bit stronger.

"It really has been hard on Senior Sister these past few days. Oh, and then there’s that obnoxious Xueyang, who keeps coming up with new ways to give her gifts every day. Today it’s a gemstone, tomorrow it’s lipstick, the day after it’s a handmade pickled cabbage bento box. He’s completely stuck to her like superglue."

"He won’t be jumping around for much longer," Su Yue cracked his knuckles, his belly full of anger. "Where is the Evil Spirit Bridge? Let’s go take a look."

He slightly regretted letting Bai Xiaolong and the others go first. He should have been the one to send that guy packing back home. Unfortunately, he had already promised Bai Xiaolong and couldn’t go back on his word.

"Follow me. Senior Sister Mu Cheng is just about to kill the Evil Lice again, so you’ve come at the perfect time." Zhou Yuncan nodded, leading Su Yue as they sprinted toward the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge. The two of them moved at a very fast pace.

"As expected of a Wuda legend. Such speed!"

On the way, Zhou Yuncan was already running at full strength, yet Su Yue followed along with effortless ease. His breathing was completely even, showing not the slightest hint of strain. This wasn’t anywhere near Su Yue’s limit. Zhou Yuncan felt quite defeated. After all, Su Yue’s role was supposed to be a support.

They arrived at the location of the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge. Led by the Local Bully Zhou Yuncan, Su Yue found a great vantage point. To his astonishment, he noticed that Mu Jingliang was actually in Nanwu too, likely stopping by to check on his daughter.

Standing beside Mu Jingliang was an unfamiliar Ninth Grade expert. This was most likely Zhao Qian’en’s classmate, the new member of the General Staff Department, Ban Rongchen.

Near the two Ninth Grade experts stood Principal Nanwu and several other members of the Nanwu School’s leadership. Not far from them was that pretty boy, who had to be Xueyang.

"Mu Cheng, I love you like mice love rice! Marry me! Let me show you the sunrises and sunsets of Mandie Country!" Out of nowhere, Xueyang shouted a loud confession.

Su Yue was dumbfounded. What kind of occasion was this? Did this guy have no sense of subtlety at all? He had completely thrown his dignity out the window.

Su Yue glanced back at Mu Cheng. Thankfully, she wasn’t buying any of it. She wore a look of utter disgust, seeming completely disdainful of even casting a glance in Xueyang’s direction. It was far too embarrassing.

"Which one of you is Xueyang? Crawl out here and accept your death."

Right at that moment, the crowd suddenly parted to the sides. Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang made their grand entrance. Even though they had already spotted Xueyang, they still asked the question with cold indifference, acting like peerless masters.

If only a dramatic breeze had blown by, the scene would have been absolutely perfect.
