The autumn wind blew up the fallen leaves as if they were chasing after memories that had passed. A white figure was slowly walking on the road to the academy library. He had a thin figure and long silver-white hair that danced in the wind. Under the influence of the fluttering leaves, he looked like he was walking in a fairy tale.
He was Liu Muchen. Ever since the tyrannical battle a few days ago, he had become a celebrity in the academy. When everyone was chanting, he had already started studying in the library again.
Returning to the academy, Liu Muchen walked into the library as usual. The magic array that had not changed before suddenly lit up with a red light and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Because it was early in the morning, no one in the academy saw it. However, Liu Muchen could clearly feel that the Dragon Pearl in his body seemed to be vaguely summoned, causing the fire element in the magic array to be filled with excitement.
What surprised Liu Muchen even more was that when he advanced to the fifth floor and flipped open the peak 5-star magic book, the Dragon Pearl in his body actually started to circulate rapidly on its own. In Liu Muchen's sea of soul, a clear demonstration of magic was displayed.
Liu Muchen was pleasantly surprised. He flipped through every single fire magic book, and all sorts of magic demos appeared in his mind. They were like extremely clear images that were completely integrated into Liu Muchen's memories.
There were five levels. Because of the Fire Dragon Pearl, Liu Muchen had completely comprehended them. The strangest thing was that when Liu Muchen thought of this spell, the Dragon Pearl acted like a memory device, displaying the images of the spell one by one. Then, the surrounding fire magic elements gathered crazily and cast the spell.
In other words, Liu Muchen didn't even need to use any magic spells. He could complete everything with just his thoughts. Wasn't this amazing? It was equivalent to a large number of magic skills stored in Liu Muchen's body. Once he wanted to use them, he could release them at any time. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Just like that, Liu Muchen only needed a short amount of time to memorize all the fire spells on the fifth floor. He also had a clear understanding of the effects of each spell. Therefore, Liu Muchen spent most of his time on learning magic from other Elements.
Of course, because of the Fire Dragon Pearl, the mana stored in his body became more and more abundant. When he learned other spells, his progress was also very fast. Now, Liu Muchen had already started learning the second level. It should be known that this was the study of seven elements. Even the senior students did not dare to say that they could master all the elements of the first level. Everyone often chose to learn their own spells, such as attack, defense, or support. It was even more so for Liu Muchen to master all seven elements. It was simply unimaginable.
At this moment, the library was still very quiet. Liu Muchen was the only one who came to the library so early. As usual, Liu Muchen placed the books he wanted to read in front of him. He then sat down cross-legged and activated the magical elements in his body. As he understood magic, the magical elements in his body were used according to Liu Muchen's wishes.
If an outsider were here, they would definitely be shocked. This was because Liu Muchen's body was surrounded by a faint milky-white light. The entire second layer of the library's magic array was fully activated. It did not stop him, but provided him with an endless supply of mana. At this moment, Liu Muchen's entire body and mind would feel a very strange feeling. This feeling of being able to merge with the world made Liu Muchen's understanding of magic extremely clear. After three hours, this strange feeling would disappear. At this moment, people were already entering the library.
Liu Muchen had left the library so early many times and attracted the attention of busybodies. Some rumors started to spread within the academy: "Can't you see that his hair has turned white? No wonder he has such strength."
Liu Muchen walked out of the library. The sun that rose in the east was shining down its gentle rays, giving off a hint of warmth when it shone on his body. As he walked down the stairs, Liu Muchen noticed Wan Qing who was walking up. It had been a while since he last saw her, and she looked a little haggard. There was a hidden sadness on her peaceful face.
"Wanqing!" Liu Muchen called out softly and walked up to greet him.
When she heard someone calling her name, Wan Qing raised her head slightly and saw Liu Muchen's smiling face.
"Liu Muchen, so early?" Wan Qing asked in surprise when she saw Liu Muchen come out of the library so early.
"Hehe…I like the quiet. There are fewer people in the morning!”Liu Muchen explained with a smile.
"Oh, I didn't see the battle between your dorm and the Storm group. I heard that they all admire you!”
"It's not like what you said. I'm afraid it's terrifying, right? How is Haotian recently? I haven't seen him since I came back.”Seeing Wanqing, Liu Muchen naturally thought of Haotian. Ever since the incident at the restaurant, she knew that Haotian must have his own secrets. It had been a long time since then. She wondered how he was doing, so she asked.
When he heard Liu Muchen ask about Haotian, the smile on his face earlier had turned dark.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Haotian?”Liu Muchen asked with concern when he sensed the sudden change in Wanqing's expression.
"Can you promise me a request?”Wanqing suddenly looked at Liu Muchen with a solemn expression.
"Go ahead." Liu Muchen knew that something bad had happened.
Can you help Haotian?" Wan Qing's face was filled with sorrow. That was the expression that one would show when they were extremely helpless.
"Tell me, I will help!" Feeling the sorrow in Wanqing's eyes, Liu Muchen nodded heavily.
Liu Muchen could feel that she must have suffered a lot because of Haotian. When he first met Haotian, Liu Muchen admired Haotian very much. It could be said that they were already trustworthy partners. Therefore, Liu Muchen agreed to Wanqing's request without any hesitation.
"Thank you!" Wan Qing's eyes were filled with tears of excitement as she continued,"Haotian is not doing well now. He has changed a lot. I'm really worried about him!”The image of Haotian's dispirited appearance appeared in his mind, and his heart was filled with incomparable pain.
"Don't be anxious. What's going on?”Liu Muchen comforted Wanqing.
Wanqing then told Liu Muchen what Haotian told her after the incident at the restaurant. When she talked about the changes after Haotian Sword Mountain returned, Liu Muchen was extremely heartbroken.
"You're the only one in the academy who can help Haotian now.”Wan Qing said with tears in her eyes.
"I see. I'll go see Haotian now. Where is he?”
"He must be at the back of the mountain now. I'll go with you!”
"Good!"
The two of them slowly walked toward the back of the mountain. After about an hour, they came to a place halfway up the mountain. There was a small hut made of straw. From afar, they could smell the pungent smell of alcohol coming from inside. It was the smell of the "mellow fire cloud".
When Liu Muchen walked into the straw shed, he couldn't help but be stunned. There were wine bottles everywhere in the straw shed, and Haotian was sleeping on the straw mat with a bottle of wine in his hand. Liquid was still flowing out of the bottle. His black and gray hair was fluffy and sticky, and there was a moldy smell coming from it. His face was covered with a beard, and he looked so old. The tears flowing from the corners of his mouth were telling the deepest sadness in his heart.
Seeing Haotian like this, Wan Qing covered her mouth and ran out while sobbing.
Liu Muchen stood there for a long time without moving. He felt inexplicably touched. That's right, if it wasn't for his deepest feelings, how could such an outstanding man be in such a situation today?
A drunkard who ruined everything.
Liu Muchen felt depressed. He walked out of the straw shed and stood in front of Wan Qing."How long has he been like this?”
"He has been like this ever since he came back from Sword Mountain. If I didn't see him coming back from buying wine, I wouldn't have noticed him like this. He doesn't accept anyone at all, as if he's sealed himself off. Every time I watch him from afar, he'll practice his sword crazily when he sobers up until he has no strength left. Then, he'll hold his sword and cry loudly. It's been more than a month. I'm really afraid that he'll continue like this.”Wan Qing said with incomparable heartache in her eyes.
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't want to see Haotian like this. Can you think of a way to wake him up?”
"I will wake him up, but this is not the final solution. Is there really no way to enter Sword Mountain and find out the cause of Ziyan's death?”Liu Muchen had a feeling that Wanqing did not just want him to wake up Haotian. However, it seemed like she was forcing him to do so, so he changed his mind.
Now that she could wake Haotian up and stop this, she was satisfied. This Wanqing was also making things difficult for her.
"Maybe?" Wan Qing frowned and lowered her voice.
"Don't worry. Tell me what you can do.”Liu Muchen looked at Wanqing and encouraged her.
"We can only challenge the mountain! However, this was not an option.”Wan Qing gritted her teeth and said with difficulty.
"What do you mean by mountain challenge?" Liu Muchen was puzzled.
"It's actually a challenge to a powerful force. The challenger has to go through all kinds of tests. Once the challenge is successful, then no matter what the challenger asks, he must agree. Similarly, if he failed, he would be dealt with at will. Therefore, this was the only way, but it was also impossible.”
Liu Muchen frowned after hearing Wanqing's words.
As one of the seven great factions in the Soul World, Sword Mountain was definitely a colossal existence to him. However, for some reason, when he imagined that possibility, a trace of heroism rose in Liu Muchen's heart. At the same time, it was as if something was calling out to him. A strong impulse made him make a decision that was close to madness: Mountain challenge!
