Chapter 121 Duel
Department of Space

After leaving the Three-Step Tower, Xu Mu came to the classroom he hadn't been to for a long time.

"You're back from the imperial capital!" Ding Yumian raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the refreshed Xu Mu in front of him, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and asked softly: "Have you made a breakthrough to the high level of your space system?"

"Have you discovered all this?"

Xu Mu's eyes widened. Is Ding Yumian's mental strength so strong that he can even detect the subtle changes in his breakthrough?

"The spatial fluctuations are very obvious. You should have just used instant movement." Ding Yumian nodded and explained slowly.

After hearing this, Xu Mu gave a thumbs up and his admiration for Ding Yumian increased even more.

You know, teleportation is a high-level space magic that can cross the space distance in an instant and reach where you want to go.

The spatial fluctuations caused by this magic are extremely weak, and it is difficult to detect without extraordinary perception and profound spatial attainments.

Of course, part of the reason was that he had just broken through and the spatial fluctuations were not hidden well, but no matter what, Ding Yumian's attainments in the space system were definitely better than those of a half-baked like himself.

"I'm lucky. I went out to gain some experience and some powerful people came to give me money."

As Xu Mu spoke, he sat down in the seat next to Ding Yumian and glanced at the pair of legs under the table inconspicuously. He saw that they were tightly wrapped in a pair of snow-white pantyhose.

He really likes this pair of tights!

Although it has been less than a month since he broke through to the high level of space magic, with his powerful mental strength, the magic weapon he was given by Dean Xiao, and the training enhancement of the Three-Step Tower, he learned high-level space magic in just one week.

Although I'm not particularly proficient yet, at least I can use it in actual combat.

"What day is today? What day is it?" Xu Mu suddenly asked.

He practiced in the Three-Step Pagoda for nearly four months. Although he came out once in the middle, he didn't pay attention to time at all, so much so that he forgot what month, day and week it was.

The water system has also broken through to the intermediate level, so it is time to get a water spirit seed for water magic.

"The twenty-seventh, Friday."

Ding Yumian said softly, and at the same time quietly placed the thick advanced theory textbook of the Space Department on her thighs to block someone's burning gaze.

"The auction house won't be open until tomorrow."

Xu Mu stroked his chin. The Magic City Auction House usually holds an auction once a month, and each auction is held on the last weekend of the month.

We have to wait another day, and we don’t know whether there will be an auction of water elemental spirit seeds.

There was still some time before class started, and Xu Mu couldn't see Bai Si, so he had to take out his mobile phone to check the situation of the school in recent months and the ranking of the Department of Space.

After logging into my school account, I was shocked to see that my emails were full of messages, with more than twenty people wanting to challenge me.

What the hell is this? There are less than 40 people in the Space Department, including the freshmen from the Qing Campus and the students who transferred here.

A challenge from more than 20 people, is this a challenge that all students in the Department of Space want to challenge themselves?
"You haven't shown up at school for a long time. They all think you are a playboy who gave up practicing magic, so they are keeping an eye on your ranking." Ding Yumian saw the content on Xu Mu's phone and explained.

"According to the rules, if you don't show up to accept the challenge, your ranking will be given to someone else. However, Dean Xiao said that you are undergoing training and it is a special case, so your ranking can remain unchanged."

"Is that so? Dean Xiao finally did something decent."

Xu Mu stroked his chin. Fortunately, his ranking did not drop. He had seven days of practice time in a month. If it dropped, he would definitely blow the heads of those who challenged him.

Classes started soon after. The head of the Space Department was an adult woman wearing a cheongsam and gold-rimmed glasses.

Director Lin walked to the podium, raised her glasses, and glanced at the few students who could fill a classroom. With just one glance, she found that the number of students was wrong. There were 35 students in total, 34 should be present, and 35 were present. How come there was one more student?
"Are you Xu Mu?" Director Lin looked in Xu Mu's direction and asked puzzledly.

She was not the original director of the Space Department. The previous director was transferred to another place. She came later, so she had never met Xu Mu.

Although she had never met him, she had an impression of the student Xu Mu. He had not attended classes for nearly half a year and was supposed to be ranked in the top ten by someone else, but Dean Xiao personally came forward to veto it.

"Teacher, it's me." Xu Mu nodded in acknowledgement.

"Well, now that you've returned from your training, let me first tell you about the challenge." Director Lin said with a smile.

"You are ranked seventh in the Space Department. There are a total of thirty-five students in the Space Department. Now twenty-seven students want to challenge you and replace you for the seventh place."

"This week happens to be the challenge week. Today is Friday. Considering that you have just returned from training, I will give you one day to prepare. The challenge will be held tomorrow. Do you have any objection?" Director Lin asked.

"I have no objection." Xu Mu shook his head. He thought to himself that as long as Ding Yumian didn't play, he could crush them with one hand even if all the students in the Space Department played together.

"It's okay if you don't have any objection."

After Director Lin nodded, today's class began and the morning passed quickly.

Xu Mu was just about to shamelessly go have lunch with Ding Yumian, but a man came up to his seat and blocked his way.

"Are you Xu Mu, who has been in seventh place for half a year?"

Lu Beiwang looked at Xu Mu with dissatisfaction. He was ranked eleventh, just short of entering the top ten.

There is a huge gap between the cultivation resources of the top ten and those after the eleventh place.

The eleventh place student only has three days to practice in the Three-Step Tower in a month, while the tenth place student and above have seven days.

In the past six months, he had nearly 20 days less practice time than the top ten.

And all this is because of Xu Mu, the dandy young man who has been quietly occupying the seventh place. If this guy had dared to show up to fight, he would not have ended up in the extremely embarrassing eleventh place.

"Just wait for me tomorrow..." Lu Beiwang shouted viciously. He was determined to teach this guy a severe lesson tomorrow.

"Get out!" Xu Mu's mind moved, and the star tracks connected in an instant like lightning. The invisible giant hand, like an eagle catching a chick, threw the idiot directly into the trash can behind.

"What a rubbish! How dare you act so arrogant in front of me?"

Xu Mu glared at the guy angrily, and then added a level one thunder seal without mercy.

After dealing with this idiot, Xu Mu looked around at everyone with cold eyes, and 343 stars instantly appeared around him.

"343 stars, a high-level magician!" Someone was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"And his space system is a thought star track!"

Although school was over, no student actually left the classroom because they all knew that someone would definitely cause trouble for Xu Mu after school, and everyone wanted to stay and watch this wonderful show.

This scene is indeed wonderful, but the protagonist seems a little unexpected.

The seventh one who had disappeared for more than half a year turned out to be a high-level thunder mage. His attainments in space were also quite high, and he could easily draw star tracks with just a thought.

Who the hell said that this guy was a dissolute and unruly playboy like Zhao Manyan from Guangyuan next door?
"If you don't want to lie in bed for a year or two, or be beaten to death by me tomorrow, go and tell the teacher to cancel the challenge." Xu Mu said in a cold tone.

He had no interest in engaging in a magic duel with these rookies in the academy; it would just be a waste of his time.
