"Ah!"

With ghastly cries, Wu Tian fell to the ground. Since half of his body was burnt black, he would be handicapped even if he could survive.

Everyone was stunned and they all stared at Murong Xue in amazement while she slowly landed on the ground. The purple-level vibe coming from her did not fade yet.

Then the crowd exploded into an uproar.

"Oh, god."

"She is at purple-level!"

"There's a lot going on in my head right now."

"..."

Murong Xue walked over and she shone like a heavenly goddess. Everyone looked at her with admiration. People at purple-level were at the top tier of the society on this Fengyun Continent.

The man wearing a silver mask appeared before her.

The man said with a hint of a smile, "Good. You are qualified to be my student."

Murong Xue replied coldly, "I didn't say I want to."

The man did not go mad. He simply replied, "I'm afraid that I'm the only one in Longyu College who can teach you. Don't be so arrogant, little fellow. Are you sure you want to refuse me?"

Hearing this, Murong Xue became serious and started to observe him closely. The silver mask covered half of his face, so she could only see his sharp eyes and thin lips. Then she wanted to check his level.

She found that she was unable to see his level, her eyes wide open. He seemed not to be at purple-level.

The man answered with a thin smile, "Don't bother. At such a low level, you can't find out mine." He found her very interesting.

Murong Xue felt a twitch in her face and she did not know what to say. "Me? A low-level rookie?" Murong Xue was stunned that she was not good enough even if she was at purple-level.

"For me, you are a rookie. Don't deny it." The man gave her a soft touch.

Murong Xue goggled at him as she found she was unable to use spiritual power. "What did you do to me?"

The man touched her again and she regained her spiritual power. "Easy. I just want to show you that you are a rookie."

Murong Xue found his words hurtful and she became very alert. Now she knew this man was very powerful.

"What can I get if I become your student?" Murong Xue watched others and saw great reverence in their eyes, which was totally different from the way they looked at her just now. People only admired her when they knew she was at purple-level, but they worshiped this man.

So she guessed that he was a celebrity.

The man did not expect such a response from her. People usually begged to be his students, so Murong Xue was the only one who got invited but seemed reluctant.

The man's thin smile remained unchanged. "No one on this continent dares to pick on you then. Is that good enough?"

This was very tempting to Murong Xue as a shelter was what she needed most before she became stronger.

The man disappeared after leaving the words, "If so, I'll wait for you in Longyu College."

It caused another uproar in the crowd, and people looked at Murong Xue with envy.

Murong Xue cried out suddenly, "D*mn, you didn't tell me your name."

The crowd burst into laughter.

They did not expect that she would talk to him like this.

"Sir!" The Seventh Princess walked over, and the crowd backed off to clear a path for her at once.

Murong Xue's eyes shone cold. She just defeated the knight, so she thought trouble was coming.

"Sir, please don't get me wrong. I'm sorry that my knight isn't disciplined. I want to apologize for him." Said the Seventh Princess with her charming voice like nightingale.

"It's okay. He paid the price. Don't take it personally, Your Highness."

"May I have your name? Can I make friends with you?"

It was not easy to be rude to a polite person, so Murong Xue answered with a thin smile, "Mu Tian."

"I'm Qin Jiqin. Mu Tian. Can I call you Mu Tian? You can call me Qin."

"Qin?" Murong Xue found it too intimate as they just met each other for the first time.

"Hum, Mu Tian, you want to go to the college too?"

Lin Nan and the others walked over. "Mu Tian, you two?"

Murong Xue introduced them to each other, "This is the Seventh Princess, and they are my good friends: Lin Nan, Zhao Qi, Zhu Ming, and Wu Xiaomei."

However, the Seventh Princess only nodded politely, which was different from the gentle way she treated Mu Tian.

Lin Nan and the others did not cater to her. They simply greeted, "Your Highness."

Murong Xue turned to her and said, "Excuse me, maybe we can catch up later?"

The Seventh Princess kept her smile and nodded.

Murong Xue and her friends left. If someone watched the Seventh Princess closely now, he would find that she held her dress so hard that it was twisted. Despite it all, her harmless smile remained unchanged.

The Seventh Princess ordered her knights, "Leave here. Now."

One knight who was close to Wu Tian asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what about Wu Tian?"

The Seventh Princess looked at him coldly. Not far from them, Wu Tian was burnt black, but he kept waving his hand to ask for help.

"Why do I keep a man who is good for nothing?" The Seventh Princess now felt that only a man like Mu Tian could stand by her side. As the Seventh Princess, she had lots of suitors and she had seen all kinds of men who were all fascinated by her appearance and her cultivation, but Mu Tian was different. His eyes showed no desire and that intrigued her.

Other knights didn’t dare to say anything, "Yes, Your Highness."

Although the Seventh Princess was known for her good temper, her knights knew that was not true.

Trained as the royal knight since childhood, they had no choice. No matter who they were assigned to serve, they had to be loyal their whole life. Otherwise, there was no way out but death.

The show ended, so the audience left as well.

Only Wu Tian was left lying there, with his eyes full of resentment. He hated Mu Tian and he hated the Seventh Princess even more. He sacrificed everything for her, but she just abandoned him. He felt that he was no better than a dog.

A man in black appeared before him when everyone else left.

The man in black had a husky, eerie voice. "I can make you stronger if you give me your soul."

"Do it!"

...

Returning to the college gate, Murong Xue walked over to sign up. The students responsible for registration were hurry-scurry.

Mu Tian did not need to take the test now. He even had the greatest privilege of skipping the later examination. In other words, he was accepted to the college.

What Longyu College did for Mu Tian was obviously unfair, but no one made any complaint as Mu Tian was at purple-level. However, Lin Nan and the others would not be so lucky because the college did have students at blue-level. A student at purple-level was unprecedented, and Mu Tian was asked by the legendary man to be his student. Therefore, even those who had a problem with this would not show it.

Thanks to that legendary man, Longyu College ranked first among the four major colleges. No one knew exactly what his level was, but everyone guessed that he was above purple-level.

Some daredevils once challenged him, but he made them disappear from the world with only one move.

This battle made a huge splash on the continent, and men were drawn here in an endless stream. People who wanted to be his students lined up at the college gate. In the end, peace only returned to the college after he said that anyone who came to bother him would die.

In this way, getting into Longyu College was the only way for people to approach him and that was why so many people signed up every year, which led to limited places at last.

This legendary man on the Fengyun Continent was called Lan Zun.

Murong Xue knew nothing about it. Even Lin Nan and the others could not be sure that the man wearing a silver mask was Lan Zun. They just tried to guess. When they waited for signing up, they heard others' discussions and confirmed their guess.

The moment they finished signing up, they grabbed Mu Tian and came back to the inn nonstop.

They all stared at Murong Xue and it chilled him to the bone. "What?"

She crossed her arms and warned, "I tell you I'm not a grownup yet. Don't do anything crazy."

Others felt confused.

They were not in the mood for joking. They asked her seriously, "The man asked you to be his student. Do you know who he is?"

"A mentor from the college?" Murong Xue then thought of something and stood up, "He is a liar? I'll get to him now." She started rushing out.

Lin Nan took her by the back of her collar. "Stop it. You are nothing to him. What can you do?"

Then they explained the situation to her. After a long time, she finally realized that her mentor was such a legendary man.
