"Cheng Qingman."
"Luo Mu."
On the way back, the two introduced themselves.
"If I'm not mistaken, Junior Brother Luo just used the [Absolute Life-Ending Sword Technique], right?"
Cheng Qingman asked.
She had taken a few more detoxifying pills.
As long as she didn't fight or circulate her blood energy, the poison wouldn't spread quickly.
"Mm."
Luo Mu nodded.
"This is the most powerful sword technique among our academy's Human-tier Martial Arts."
"Throughout the years, very few have been able to master it."
"I didn't expect Junior Brother to have actually mastered it."
Cheng Qingman said, somewhat impressed.
The [Absolute Life-Ending Sword Technique]at the perfect realm is no small achievement; it's a major accomplishment.
In martial arts, the gap between each minor realm can be considered a qualitative change.
No wonder it could counter that Demon Path True Aperture.
"Well, someone like Senior Sister, a genius from the Inner Academy, probably looks down on Human-tier Martial Arts, right?"
Luo Mu smiled and said, "Once you reach True Aperture, you can directly learn Mystic-tier Martial Arts, why waste energy on Human-tier?"
This is the privilege of geniuses from the Inner Academy.
Unlike the Outer Academy, even if someone reaches True Aperture, they still have to pass the assessment at the Weapon Vault to study Mystic-tier Martial Arts.
Moreover, geniuses from the Inner Academy often come from noble families with high-ranking martial arts in their lineage.
"That may be true."
Cheng Qingman replied,
"But Junior Brother Luo is still overestimating our Inner Academy."
"Even in the entire Inner Academy, very few can master the [Absolute Life-Ending Sword Technique]to perfection."
"Perhaps."
Luo Mu noncommitGreaty agreed.
As they chatted, they arrived at the academy.
More specifically, the Inner Academy.
Unlike the Outer Academy,
The environment of the Inner Academy was more refined.
There were Gathering Yuan Arrays in many places.
Luo Mu, sitting on a chair with a Demon Path Traitor's head underfoot, observed the passing geniuses of the Inner Academy.
Most were at the True Aperture Realm.
Their temperament and aura were far beyond anything from the Outer Academy.
This was due to the environment and training methods they had been subjected to since childhood.
"Who is that person?"
"He seems to be an Outer Academy disciple."
"Why is that cloth soaked in blood? Is that a human head inside?"
Some sharp-eyed disciples of the Inner Academy noticed the strange sight.
But after a frown, they didn't intervene.
Though Luo Mu's cultivation was only at the Body Refining Realm Ninth Layer, the half-month training on the back mountain, combined with the bloodied human head underfoot, still carried some deterrent power.
Soon, Cheng Qingman came out.
After receiving treatment from the academy elders, most of the poison had been removed.
With proper rest and recuperation, she would return to normal.
"Junior Brother, sorry to keep you waiting, let's go."
Cheng Qingman smiled.
She had changed into a different set of clothes, a stark contrast to her previous outfit.
Her skin was like snow, her waist slender, and especially her long, graceful legs, which were eye-catching.
Even Luo Mu couldn't help but take a second glance.
Noticing Luo Mu's gaze, Cheng Qingman's lips curved up.
"I thought you weren't interested in women,"
she said inwardly.
Her chest puffed out slightly, trying to show off, but soon she realized.
She wasn't particularly remarkable in this aspect.
No capital for that.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Luo Mu nodded.
Not having proof was troublesome.
"Junior Brother is too polite, this is what I should do."
Cheng Qingman shook her head.
"By the way, I've prepared something for you as a token of my appreciation."
With that, Cheng Qingman took a pill bottle from her sleeve.
"This is a Breaking Yuan Pill, a Second-Rank Pill."
"I see you're on the verge of a breakthrough, this should come in handy!"
"Breaking Yuan Pill!"
Luo Mu's breath momentarily stilled.
His hands instinctively clenched beneath his sleeve.
Normally, he used low-grade pills for cultivation, not even finished pills.
He had never seen a Second-Rank pill, let alone a First-Rank.
He never expected Cheng Qingman to give him a Second-Rank pill as a reward.
And it was a Breaking Yuan Pill!
In pill lectures, his academy teachers had mentioned that for a guaranteed breakthrough to True Aperture, the Breaking Yuan Pill was the best choice.
Its medicinal power was immense and fierce.
But the price of a Breaking Yuan Pill was high.
It was something ordinary people couldn't afford.
Even if Luo Mu sold all his materials from monster beasts, he still couldn't buy one.
Of course, if he counted that head...
Maybe he could.
"This is too precious."
Luo Mu reached out and took the pill, slipping it into his sleeve.
The entire action was fluid and graceful.
Cheng Qingman froze for a moment, her empty fingers awkwardly rubbing together.
Who accepts a gift while still being polite?
Of course, she intended to give it to Luo Mu,
But Luo Mu's directness surprised her.
It was different from the long-winded pleasantries and formalities in the Inner Academy.
After a while, it just became boring.
But Luo Mu?
Though he was occasionally modest and polite, he was still very direct, very real.
She liked being around such people.
"Compared to my life, what's the value of this?"
Cheng Qingman smiled gently.
"In the future, if you need any help, Junior Brother Luo can come to me."
——
Soon, under Cheng Qingman's lead, Luo Mu arrived at the Appraisal Pavilion.
With her status as a genius of the Inner Academy, many of the tedious processes were naturally bypassed.
"These Demon Path Traitors are really persistent. We just cleaned up a few last month, but there are still some left."
The Appraisal Pavilion steward said coldly,
At the same time, he put away the human head.
"Luo Mu, right?"
"Yes."
Luo Mu nodded.
"The academy rewards 5,000 contribution points for each Demon Path True Aperture head."
The steward took out five blue tokens.
Each represented 1,000 contribution points.
"Good."
Luo Mu had no objections.
Since he hadn't dealt with this before, he didn't understand much.
But he figured that the steward, being an official, had no reason to deceive him.
"By the way, I also have these, I'd like to exchange them for contribution points."
Luo Mu took out a large bundle of monster materials.
But he only received 600 contribution points.
According to the steward, these were only First-tier materials.
The value wasn't high.
Luo Mu felt fortunate to have encountered that Demon Path Traitor.
After killing monsters for half a month, he only earned 600.
The disparity was staggering.
