Chapter 362
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for leveling up to the grandmaster level."
Walking out of the lecture hall, Zhao Mu's face was filled with joy.
Now, there were three to four hundred disciples who had good impressions of him. Every lesson he attended could provide him with a large amount of rewards. In just a few days, his blacksmithing skill had reached the grandmaster level. His efficiency was really shocking.
Before the end of the year, there might be hope for his alchemy skill and blacksmithing skill to reach the grandmaster level.
Just as he was about to go to the newly built blacksmithing workshop to test out his skills as a grandmaster blacksmith, Zhao Mu suddenly saw Bai Muxue flying into the academy's valley with a dark skinny little girl.
Bai Muxue didn't bother with formalities and directly explained her intentions. She introduced Ning Shuang beside her.
Zhao Mu was very surprised to know that this dark skinny little girl actually broke the entrance examination's martial test limit and surpassed Gu Yunxian to get first place.
Although he knew that one couldn't judge a book by its cover, this little girl looked too ordinary. Her aura didn't seem to be outstanding either. This was a little unbelievable.
"Since she's already here, then let's take her into the academy and let her cultivate under my wing."
Zhao Mu didn't think much about it. He only felt that although this little girl looked ordinary, she was very talented in all aspects. He decided to let her stay in the academy first. It would be great if she could get a good impression of him. If she couldn't, it didn't matter. The Devil's Sect also needed people with great potential like her. If they nurtured her, she might be able to help the Devil's Sect in the future.
They definitely wouldn't lose out.
"Ning Shuang, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and acknowledge me as your master." Bai Muxue saw that Ning Shuang was still indifferent and hurried her.
"Greetings, Master."
Ning Shuang said casually.
What an arrogant little girl.
It was Zhao Mu's first time meeting such an arrogant disciple. He couldn't help but feel a little curious about her.
Hence, Zhao Mu opened the system panel to check Ning Shuang's information. If her impression of him was too low, then she definitely didn't have good intentions.
The Devil's Sect was recruiting disciples without restraint. There must be many spies sent by various factions. Although they wouldn't have any substantial influence, he still had to be careful.
But when Zhao Mu saw it, he was very surprised.
He didn't find Ning Shuang's name.
Obviously, this dark skinny little girl used a fake name.
Interesting.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Mu suddenly saw an unexpected name on the list.
"Luo Ninghua: Human, seventh level of the Heaven Tier, Inverted Hanging Mountain's Sect Master. Favorability: 20."
Zhao Mu was puzzled.
Isn't this Inverted Mountain Fairy Ning Hua?
How did she appear on his binding candidate list?
He had never seen Fairy Ning Hua before. Moreover, he had never seen her before. Apparently, this name had just appeared.
Zhao Mu's gaze fell on the tanned and skinny girl in front of her.
Luo Ninghua.
Ning Shuang …
Was it possible that she was Fairy Ning Hua in disguise?
As for why the number one prodigy of the human race, Fairy Ning Hua, would disguise herself and come to the Devil Sect to become a disciple, it was not hard to guess.
She must have heard about Zhao Mu's victory over Tang Zhi and became curious about Zhao Mu.
After all, she had always been known as the number one genius of the Immortal Martial Continent. Ascending to the Heaven Tier at the age of two hundred was not unprecedented, but it was already considered very impressive.
However, Zhao Mu defeated a Heaven Tier Supreme with his Body Integration Realm cultivation. This was really too ridiculous.
Seeing that her title as the number one prodigy was about to change hands, Luo Ninghua would definitely feel indignant in her heart. It was understandable that she would sneak into the Devil's Sect to do field research.
Zhao Mu's gaze towards Ning Shuang could not help but carry a hint of a subtle smile.
Ning Shuang sensed Zhao Mu's gaze and felt a chill run down her spine. She had a feeling that this guy was up to no good.
She had long heard that Zhao Mu from the Devil Sect was licentious. She had purposely disguised herself like this. Could it be that she could not avoid it?
This guy's appetite … was too good.
As long as it was a woman, it would do!
"Ning Shuang, since you're under my tutelage, what do you want to learn? Whether it's formations, refining pills, refining weapons, or even fighting, I can teach you everything."
Zhao Mu said with a smile. His tone was full of confidence, as if he was an omnipotent being and there was nothing he could not do.
"You can't fake it to death. You're so young and yet you're already so full of big words. Such a prodigy will be a disgrace to the human race if word gets out."
Ning Shuang muttered in her heart, but her expression did not change. She said, "Master, I heard that the Puppet Technique of the Saint Prime Devil Sect is unique. Your disciple would like to learn this Puppet Technique."
"Puppet Technique, huh. It's rare to see a disciple interested in this. Alright, since you want to learn, I'll teach you."
Zhao Mu agreed readily, which made Bai Muxue frown a little.
If one mastered the Puppet Technique, the puppet mechanisms created would indeed be of great use. However, in essence, the Puppet Technique was just an extension of the Tool Refining Technique and the Formation Technique. Instead of wasting time on the Puppet Technique, it would be more effective to directly learn the Formation Technique and the Tool Refining Technique.
It was impossible for Zhao Mu not to know this. However, he still agreed to Ning Shuang's request. He was pampering her too much.
One had to know that the Puppet Technique was not taught in the academy. If Ning Shuang wanted to learn, Zhao Mu would have to personally teach her.
A single man and a single woman. Although it was said to be learning, who knew what would happen in private?
However, Bai Muxue did not understand. If Ning Shuang was as beautiful as a fairy, it would be fine. However, Zhao Mu was just a skinny little girl. Why would he not let her go?
Could it be that he had too many beautiful wives, so he wanted to change his taste and go vegetarian?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
Bai Muxue shook her head helplessly. She could not be bothered to worry about Zhao Mu's matters. Anyway, it was fine as long as she brought him here. She should not stay here and be a hindrance.
She said her goodbyes and left.
Zhao Mu said, "Let's go. I'll bring you around to familiarize you with the Devil Sect. I'll also arrange a place for you to stay."
He casually summoned the Supreme Profound Yang Sword and the Clear Sky Sword and carried the two of them on a tour around the Devil Sect.
However, Ning Shuang's mind was not on the beautiful scenery of the Devil Sect.
She stared at the flying sword under her feet, unable to maintain her calm.
Where did this guy come from?
He could casually summon two Immortal Artifacts?
This is a Celestial Artifact! Do you think it's a cabbage?
Ning Shuang was speechless.
No wonder this guy could defeat Tang Zhi. It turned out that he relied on these worldly possessions.
The so-called geniuses were nothing more than this.
Ning Shuang had already determined that Zhao Mu was a fake prodigy. She did not believe that he had the ability to defeat a Heavenly Being.
This made her feel much more at ease.
I knew it.
In the Immortal Martial Continent, how could there be someone even more powerful than me?
It seemed that he had been too paranoid. He had actually come all the way to the Devil Sect to find out the truth. There was really no need for that.
Just as Ning Shuang was hesitating about whether she should leave early, Zhao Mu had already brought her to the Muye Immortal Ark.
Since she was Goddess Ning Hua, he definitely could not neglect her. Of course, it would be best to arrange for her to stay by his side.
Ning Shuang, who had just wanted to leave, was instantly filled with curiosity when she saw the Muye Immortal Ark.
This gigantic Immortal Ark seemed to be quite extraordinary. It was emitting an aura that did not belong to the Immortal Martial Continent.
'This kid must have a shocking background. However, he doesn't seem to want to reincarnate as a Banished Immortal. Oh well, since I have nothing to do back at Inverted Hanging Mountain, I'll stay here and observe for a while longer. I'll find out more about this kid Zhao Mu.' Ning Shuang thought for a moment and decided not to leave for the time being.
