Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 - The Three Levels of Hell

Obviously, they're coming for himself, what's going on?

Quickly retreating back to the cultivation room, Mu Tianxun replayed the faces of his classmates in his mind, mostly students from the inner courtyard, and didn't find any followers of Su Qingchi.

"They...what do they want?"

"Are they like themselves, they think of him as a goddess, squatting outside the door, trying to get a close bet on the goddess' stunning beauty."

"No, there's some big event where the goddess occasionally appears in the academy, and although the atmosphere is very warm, I haven't seen many students dare to gather around ah."

...

"Ah, yes, that must be it, Su Qingchi was beaten up, this is a big news that is sensationalizing the academy...can't go out, firmly not."

Having found a logical explanation, Mu Tianxun was both happy and sad, walking around the cultivation room, not knowing where to go from here.

Activating the Lucky Magic Eyes to take a look at the house, Qianxue was clinging to the door, her eyes unblinkingly looking out, her face full of anxiety, there was a bowl of roast pork on the table behind her, not as nice as his mother's cooking, a bit dark, but Tianxun still couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"What to do? It's not a good idea to hide like this, I have to go back."

"If only I had a cell phone..."

"What are you thinking about, it's going to be dark soon, so it looks like we'll just have to tough it out."

"Click, click, click!"

Coming to the door to open it, there was the sound of unlocking the door from outside.

"Teacher? Administrators?"

At a loss for words, Tianxun sought to dart behind the door, but it opened and a familiar and wonderful face appeared in front of him.

Before he could exclaim, a small white hand printed on his chest and with a gentle push, he took two steps backwards, the girl flashed in and the door closed.

"I didn't think it was really you, it's so strange."

Shui Rou walked to the center of the cultivation room and spoke, as if talking to herself.

Tianxun looked back at her, clouded with the feeling of being in a dream.

Seeing that Mu Tianxun was silent, Shui Rou turned her head and asked, "Have you really awakened?"

Like all the boys, Mu Tianxun looked at her with fascination, and Shui Rou frowned, raising her volume and saying, "Well then, you can go now, I'm going to practice."

When he woke up from his "dream" and heard Shuirou asking him to leave, he opened the door to find no one there, and ran towards home.

Seeing her brother, Qianxue ran out and grabbed his arm, her eyes wet.

"Mmm, that smells good, I want some meat."

Remembering that his sister had made roast pork, Tianxun leapt into the house in three steps.

Qianxue wiped her eyes and followed in to see him grabbing the roast pork and stuffing it into his mouth, quickly saying, "Brother Tianxun, wash your hands."

"Hehehe, taste it first, taste it and then go wash it, it smells so good."

As soon as he tasted it, he couldn't stop, and only after he had eaten seven or eight pieces in one go, was he a little satisfied, and turned to wash his hands.

Qianxue served the rice and looked at the two dishes on the table with a small smile on her small face.

"Qianxue, you were out on the street today, is everything still normal?"

"The streets are a lot quieter, people are talking about monsters and it feels weird."

"Yeah, I wish the city defense would do something, hey, it's been a few days and mom she..."

Tianxun sought a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously.

Qianxue looked at him, wanted to say something but didn't, and continued eating.

"Qianxue, let's go to the academy after dinner."

Qianxue blinked twice and asked, "Going to register?"

"Registration?" Mu Tianxun was stunned, "What are you signing up for?"

"Brother Tianxun, this year the Academy has a quota for you to go to the Wood Church to practice, and I heard that there are ten of you, but you also have to be selected, it starts next week."

The Wooden Churches was left over from a thousand years ago, the patchwork had never been demolished, legend had it that it was built by foreigners, the speed of cultivation in there was several times faster than outside, especially for wood attributed cultivators, it was said to be as high as ten times higher, before the academy selected every six months, the top ten went in and cultivated for a week, never changing

"Oh, what about you guys?"

"Only the top three of us can go."

"Top three!" Mu Tianxun said after a pause, "I'm not going to sign up and practice."

"Practice?"

"Well, I want to make an effort to awaken."

"Fine, go."

After putting away the dishes, Qianxue was still washing the dishes when someone knocked on the door.

In a shock, Mu Tianxun ran off with a large sword, but Qianxue was always faster than him.

"Who?"

"Qianxue-san, it's me, Lin Chen."

When Qianxue opened the door, Fujiyama, the moustache, entered.

Fujiyama glanced at the great sword in Mu Tianxun's hand and slowly said, "The City Defense Bureau informs that from tomorrow onwards, all citizens who have not awakened are not allowed to go up to the mountain, and the government will not be responsible for anything that happens to those who violate it."

Mu Tianxun chuckled, "Many people have died in the city already, are you guys responsible for that?"

"Mu Tianxun, watch your words, the government compensates 200,000 yuan for the death of one person, who says he is not responsible, from tomorrow onwards, those who go up the mountain privately and have an accident, the government will no longer compensate, do you understand."

"I don't understand. What is the function of the City Defense Bureau? The aftermath? There is a monster in the city and you're not killing it. You don't even find out how they got in, you're always messing around and that's called being responsible."

The two in front of him, the more he looked at them, the more Mu Tianxun was displeased, remembering how he almost died on the mountain during the day made him angry.

Seeing that Fujiyama's face was a bit hanged up, Lin Chen jumped out, "Tianxun student, the government is also thinking of everyone's safety, today it's fortunate that you left early, in the afternoon, a group of demon beasts appeared in the valley, we discovered it and fought to the death to kill them, almost... Fortunately, the city guards arrived in time, so we were able to Stay alive, Tianxun-san, he's worried about your safety, Boss Fujiyama."

After listening to the story of Lin Chen in silence, Mu Tianxun shook his head and turned around to enter the house.

He suddenly realized that talking to a shameless villain was a great irresponsibility.

"Close to a gentleman, far from a villain, but yourself..."

Suddenly, he remembered Mr. Yanwen and came to the kitchen to wash the dishes that Qianxue had not finished washing.

"Brother Tianxun, I'll wash it."

Turning on the water faucet, Qianxue came in, and Tianxun looked back at her sister with a silly grin and asked, "Why?"

Qianxue was stunned, her small lips gradually curled up, looking at her brother with an increasingly gentle gaze.

"Brother Tianxun, I'm going to patrol the mountains tomorrow, so you'll eat the leftovers for lunch and wait for me to come back and make them in the evening."

"Leftovers? No."

"..."

Mu Qianxue's face shattered with tenderness.

"Brother Tianxun, then go eat on the street and be safe."

"Well, let's go, let's go practice."

In fact, Qianxue didn't want to go to the academy to practice, it was rare that her brother wanted to go, so naturally she wanted to accompany him.

When the two siblings arrived at the Academy, Mu Tianxun walked straight towards the Qi Tower, and Qianxue followed with a frown.

Entering the door, the administrator lady saw Mu Tianxun, involuntarily shrank backwards and weakly said, "Student, you, you can just go straight up."

Mu Tianxun slapped three ten thousand yuan notes on the table and said, "One water Qi cultivation room for a week."

"Brother Tianxun, you...money..."

"Shh... Qianxue, come home and I will tell you."

Qianxue covered her small mouth and looked at her brother, her nose sore.

In fact, she didn't care where her brother's money came from, all Qianxue cared about was that he had always cared about her.

Yes, it had been a long time since Qianxue's water attribute had reached its peak, and she hadn't had a chance to break through, but despite the fact that she could go to the cultivation room of the Qi Tower three times a week, half an hour was far from enough time for advancement.

Recently, Qianxue has been dreaming of training at the Qi Tower almost every night, and then breaking through to the Dual Realm, only to wake up happy and realize that it was just a dream.

"Alright Qianxue, room 101, go go go."

Mu Tianxun took Qianxue's hand and placed the key in the palm of her hand, closing it, Qianxue held the key tightly and asked softly, "Brother Tianxun, what about you?"

"Leave me alone and hurry up."

"Well."

Mu Qianxue agreed, her eyes were looking at him but she didn't want to leave. Mu Tianxun turned around and pushed her forward a few steps, saying "cheer up" and turned around to leave.

When he came to the 303 door, he was slow to open it.

"I hope the Goddess is still here, and then we'll practice together..."

"No, it's better not to be there, so you can practice at ease."

"In comparison, you can ask the goddess how metal nature can be cultivated faster."

"Go go go, you haven't awakened yourself, consult the devil."

"By the way, you can ask the Goddess for advice on how to awaken metallic, well, still in good."

Reaching out, the door opened on its own and the goddess was really still there.

"Who? I'm coming. Go for it."

Shui Rou smiled sideways and went out, drifting away with a wave of her small hand.

Looking at the empty corridor, Mu Tianxun felt strange, the goddess came when he wanted to leave, and left when he came.

Stunned, he walked into the cultivation room, a faint fragrance of orchids drifting into his nostrils, he breathed in as much as he could, his face looking so enjoyable.

"Achoo..."

After sneezing a few times, he pinched his nose and began to practice.

After a night of hard work, the morning dawned and he went downstairs to the door of room 101 to wait for Qianxue, who came out shortly after.

"Brother Tianxun, you've been here the whole time?"

"Yeah, Qianxue, let's go eat noodles in sour soup."

"Yeah."

Chiyuki loves noodles in sour soup, so happy to hear those three words.

Returning home after eating noodles, Lin Chen was waiting at the door.

A team of people arrived at the back of the mountain, Lin Chen still divided the eight people into four teams, he and Mu Qianxue, one team at a time, and they swept off towards the valley.

The valley was wide open, so it was not easy for Mu Tianxun to follow. He began to practice his sword, and about an hour later, Mu Qianxue and Lin Chen returned to the dense forest. He flashed up to follow them.

"There really is a problem."

Following for a while, Mu Tianxun spotted Moustache Fujiyama entering the forest, and he sped up to get close to Mu Qianxue and hid behind a tree to keep an eye on Fujiyama.

Fujiyama came in front of the two and stared unblinkingly at Qianxue's leg, his nasty eyes sickening.

Qianxue always dresses conservatively, with a soft yellow long-sleeved lining, a dark blue sleeveless hip-length top, a light blue belt around her waist, a short black skirt, blue stockings, socks with light yellow ribbons around them, and a pair of stubby black leather shoes on her feet, her tall legs appearing particularly long.

Probably sensing that the moustache was staring at her, Qianxue's shadow went up to the giant tree.

"Run, if I don't come, you'll soon be a woman...no, a dead woman, you don't know what's good for you."

Fujiyama gritted his teeth as he watched Qianxue disappear into the dense foliage.

"What's the situation, Boss Fujiyama?"

Lin Chen frowned and looked at Fujiyama with a puzzled face.

"Brother Lin Chen, a bad news, there is an urgent order from that side, your little beauty cannot die yet, and you cannot touch her yet."

"Can't die? It's great!"

Lin Chen almost jumped up, feeling that the news wasn't bad news for him.

"There's nothing wrong with it, is there, Lin Chen?"

It was Fujiyama who looked confused instead, staring at Lin Chen like an idiot.

"No problem, Boss Fujiyama, is there anything else?"

Lin Chen looked up into the sky with joy on his face.

Fujiyama took a look at the top of his head and grunted, "Find someone to beat the shit out of a piece of shit, just don't kill him." With that, he dashed away.

"It's not gonna be easy. It's not going to be easy for anyone."

Mu Tianxun bellied up and flashed to follow.

Out of the dense forest and across the valley to the border of the small town, Fujiyama did not stop, but continued to sweep southwestward.

Mu Tianxun hesitated, there was a chance that he might encounter a demon beast if he left the city, and he would inevitably be discovered by Fujiyama, who was a cultivator of two Qi and had quite a high cultivation, and it would be difficult for him to leave alive if he fell into his hands.

"The truth, the opportunity..."

In a moment of torment, he pulled his legs out and rushed out.

The first half hour was spent plundering round and round, although no beasts were encountered, but the distance between Fujiyama and him grew further and further away, and then there was the Quna Sea, and Fujiyama reached the coastal cliff and jumped down, Mu Tianxun had to activate the Lucky Magic Eyes, his thoughts flickered, his pupils gradually dilated, and then he fell on his buttocks on the ground.

In his line of sight, Fujiyama was sweeping back towards him, but he was on the mountain and Fujiyama was in the mountain.

Whatever it was, Mu Tianxun could never have imagined that there was a dungeon hidden beneath his feet, the dungeon wasn't very big, but it was quite large, with pavilions and buildings, bridges and streams, flowers, birds, insects and fish....

Sweeping around, the sight returned to a large hall in the center of the dungeon with four shining characters hanging from it - the three levels of hell.

Fujiyama entered the great hall and spoke to a maiden, who went out and swept off to the left of the garden, stopping outside a beautiful round wooden house.

Mu Tianxun sought to lightly shift his gaze and let out a sudden scream, his face twisted, his hands and feet gripping.

In the room, the pretty mother stood by the door, her head tilted up a little, her gaze seeming to stare right into his eyes.

Mu Tianxun rubbed his eyes and wiped the cold sweat from his face, and his mind flickered to look at his mother again.

Mother's expression was calm, she couldn't see any happiness or sadness, and there was a man in white behind her, saying something.

Mu Tianxun's face was so hot and cold that he collapsed as soon as his energy was exhausted.

It was already afternoon when he woke up, and Mu Tianxun crawled up to try to gather his Qi, but he hadn't fully recovered yet. Looking at the Quna Sea, he held back from activating his Lucky Magic Eyes, so he stayed for a quarter of an hour and turned away..

It's seven o'clock back in the dense forest, and the Yuan Qi has basically recovered, activating the Magic Eyes to look for Qianxue, he sees a scene he shouldn't have seen.
