Mu Xue and Mu Xue

From then on, he resolutely embarked on a path of cultivation full of challenges and unknowns.

It is a journey that is destined to be bumpy, but it is also the only way to realize self-worth and pursue higher realms.

During that month, the middle-aged man who had been rescued by Mu Xue found her again.

After Mu Xue's careful treatment, his body recovered completely. The pain that once troubled him disappeared without a trace, especially his injured waist, which was successfully restored to its original state, as if it had never been injured.

Thanks to Muxue's superb medical skills, the middle-aged man regained his health and vitality and was full of gratitude to Muxue.

After that, Mu Xue also successfully broke through, successfully breaking through the Soul Realm! What's amazing is that she reached such a high level at the age of five.

Reaching the soul realm at the age of five is an incredible achievement in the eyes of everyone. Her talent and potential make people full of expectations for her future.

Time flies, and soon, a year has passed. The day of the college competition is approaching, and the whole college is filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

Every student is making final preparations for this competition, eager to show their strength and win honor.

"Brother Xiaomo, come here. Your master will give you something." Ziyuan's gentle voice sounded.

"Ah? What? It's so mysterious." Lin Mo came to Ziyuan with a puzzled look on his face.

His eyes were full of curiosity, wondering what gift Ziyuan would give him.

"I'll give you a sword, but it hasn't been named yet." As he spoke, a sword appeared in Ziyuan's hand.

As soon as this sword appears, it gives people a strange feeling.

It exudes a very faint smell of death, which is so subtle yet impossible to ignore.

Lin Mo looked at the sword and felt a familiar feeling in his heart, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"How is it? Do you have a familiar feeling? It's okay if you can't remember it. This was the old man who killed Xue'er. But it was retrained by the high temperature generated by the life-level explosive talisman." Ziyuan explained slowly.

Her eyes revealed memories of past events.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised at the time. I didn't expect it didn't turn into ashes. It can be imagined that the casting material is very unusual. So I thought about taking it back and finding someone to help cast it, and then give it to you. After all, it has no use for me to keep it." Ziyuan said with a casual expression.

But her words were full of love and expectations for Lin Mo. This sword was not just a weapon, but also a blessing and encouragement for Lin Mo.

"Uh... okay, then thank you, Master Ziyuan!" Lin Mo solemnly took the sword, his face full of respect, and bowed deeply to Ziyuan to express his gratitude.

"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You can figure out this sword by yourself. It doesn't have any attributes for now. When the elements are awakened, you can give it to them yourself. I won't say more." After Ziyuan finished speaking, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot.

Lin Mo looked at the direction where Ziyuan disappeared, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He deeply remembers Master’s care and expectations for him.

After seeing Ziyuan leave, Lin Mo began to look at the sword carefully.

It was completely white, emitting a pure and mysterious aura. If Ziyuan had not just told him the origin of this sword, he would probably have thought it was an ordinary sword.

There was a bow tied on the hilt of the sword. Lin Mo looked at the bow and his mouth twitched.

"Oh my god, she doesn't really want to turn me into a girl, does she? No, no, I have to find a chance to leave her side in the future, otherwise sooner or later I will offend her and turn me into Xueer's sister and that will be the end of me!" Lin Mo said to himself.

There was a trace of helplessness and worry on his face, as if he had already seen his miserable appearance after becoming a girl.

Although this sword has no attributes and may be a little weak when fighting against others, it has great potential for improvement in the future!

Let's not talk about the future, but right now, its abilities, such as heat resistance and hardness, are top-notch! This sword didn't turn to ash even under the intense heat of a life-level explosion, proving its exceptional heat resistance.

And its hardness is first-class. Lin Mo gently stroked the sword, feeling the hard texture, and his heart was full of confidence.

With these, plus Lin Mo's own fighting skills (taught by Mu Zifeng), he can be said to be invincible among the younger generation! The fighting skills taught to him by Mu Zifeng have become perfect through his hard practice and continuous actual combat.

He can flexibly use these skills, combined with the characteristics of the sword, to unleash powerful combat effectiveness.

Among the younger generation, few can rival him. Lin Mo gripped the sword tightly, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.

He believed that in the days to come, this sword would accompany him through countless challenges and become a powerful weapon for him to realize his dreams.

A few days later, it was finally time for the college competition.

Early in the morning, the college was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

The college held a grand college meeting and began to count the candidates who would go to the college competition.

This is a highly anticipated event, and every student is eager to become a part of it and represent the college to show their strength and style in the competition.

And Muxue was also called to the academy early by Ziyuan.

At this time, she was staying in Ziyuan's house, chatting and playing with Shiyu and Jiangnan.

Their laughter and joy seemed to add a touch of warmth to this tense day.

Mu Xue's face was filled with a bright smile, and she was looking forward to the upcoming college competition.

At the same time, all the students in the academy gathered in an open space.

At this time, a handsome man slowly walked in front of them.

The students were all confused because they had never seen this person before.

The man has a tall figure and handsome face, and his eyes reveal confidence and calmness.

His appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Hello, classmates! I am the elder who presides over the selection of candidates for this competition - Mu Zifeng!" He spoke the last three words word by word, and at the same time, a sly smile appeared on his face, as if a big joke was about to happen.

When he said his name, the students suddenly became excited.

The female students in particular exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my God! Is he really Mu Zifeng? He's so handsome! I've learned something new!!" A female student covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

"Wow! So handsome! I really want to have such a handsome Taoist partner." Another female student looked at Mu Zifeng with a crazy look on her face, her heart full of longing.

"Junior sister, what do you think of me? I'm not bad looking!" A male student tried to attract the attention of the female student next to him, but was only met with a roll of the eyes from the female student.

Exclamations were heard everywhere, and the entire open space was immersed in a lively atmosphere.

Just when Mu Zifeng was feeling proud of himself, he suddenly felt someone hit him on the back of his head.

"It's already this time and you're still so proud. Announce it quickly and don't waste time!" That's right, this person was Ziyuan.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, and her eyes were full of blame as she looked at Mu Zifeng.

Mu Zifeng touched the back of his head where he had been hit, smiled awkwardly, then cleared his throat and prepared to begin announcing the candidates for the college competition.

Mu Zifeng knew that he could not defeat Ziyuan, so he listened to her and started to do his work seriously.

Although he felt a little helpless, he also understood that Ziyuan's request was for the sake of the academy's major affairs.

"Okay, be quiet!" Mu Zifeng's voice seemed to have magical power. Although the volume was not loud, it could be clearly heard by everyone.

The sound was like a gentle breeze, blowing past everyone's ears, making people involuntarily stop talking and making noise.

After hearing this, the students immediately fell silent. Their eyes all turned to Mu Zifeng and they began to listen to his words quietly.

The open space was completely silent at this time, with only Mu Zifeng's steady voice echoing in the air.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. This competition is a competition among the three major colleges, involving the three major colleges' side businesses of formations, alchemy, and talismans. The competition system consists of seven games, one for formations, one for alchemy, and one for talismans." Mu Zifeng's eyes revealed seriousness and earnestness, and he introduced the rules and content of the competition in detail.

"There are four other games, one on one, one on two, and one on seven. So today we have to select seven people to participate in the competition, and the candidates must be representatives of each of the three side professions. Only in this way can we show the strength of our college in different competition events." Mu Zifeng's words were clear and organized, allowing the students to have a deeper understanding of the competition.

"Finally, it's a battle between the three colleges. First, representatives from each college need to draw lots. Colleges with good luck will have byes, and colleges with byes will directly enter the finals!" Mu Zifeng raised his chin slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

This lottery is full of uncertainty, and every college has a chance to be favored by the god of luck.

Entering the finals directly with a bye is undoubtedly a huge advantage, which also makes the students full of expectations for the draw results.
