Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 98 New Semester

Lin Chen asked: "How is your training going? What's your progress?"

"The Plant Element broke through to the third level of the elementary level half a month ago, but it is still some distance away from the intermediate level perfection. The Wind Element also broke through to the third level of the intermediate level two days ago!"

Mu Nujiao said softly that she was very satisfied with her current cultivation speed. If it weren't for Lin Chen's help, her plant system would probably still be struggling at the second level.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't just focus on practicing, you should go out for a walk occasionally and learn to combine work and rest!"

Mu Nujiao smiled softly and said, "I know, I just want to break through to the advanced level as soon as possible. After breaking through to the advanced level, I will go out and have fun. You have to accompany me then!"

Lin Chen smiled and agreed to Mu Nujiao. Suddenly, Lin Chen seemed to remember something. He asked curiously, "Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Remember, someone accompanied me all the way foolishly, haha!" Mu Nujiao laughed loudly. Obviously, their first meeting was still fresh in her memory.

"Yes, yes, I am stupid and silly. Then tell me, why would someone be hiding in a garden by the roadside crying?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Hearing this, Mu Nujiao clenched her jade fist and gently hit Lin Chen's chest.

"You are laughing at me!" Mu Nujiao snorted coldly.

Lin Chen held Mu Nujiao's hand and said, "No, I'm just curious. You're a pretty girl, why are you hiding in a roadside garden crying so late at night instead of going home? Aren't you afraid of running into bad guys?"

Mu Nujiao laughed and said, "I just met a bad guy like you!"

Lin Chen curled his lips slightly and said, "Okay, okay, I'm the bad guy! Is that okay?"

Mu Nujiao snorted and said, "That's more like it!"

After a pause, Mu Nujiao asked curiously, "Lin Chen, do you know our Mu family?"

Lin Chen said: "You know, the Mu family is quite famous in the Magic City, and it is considered a not small family."

Mu Nujiao said, "I have a cousin who is one year younger than me. Her name is Mu Nuxin, and we have had a very good relationship since we were young. Unfortunately, her talent for magic is not that good. It wasn't long after she awakened her magic, but the family was already planning to arrange a marriage for her. When I heard the news, I couldn't accept it."

Mu Nu's delicate body trembled slightly, and she continued, "Ah... How old was Xinxin at that time? She was only sixteen years old at most. You say that children of noble families like us can't even decide our own marriages. Isn't this very sad?"

Lin Chen did not have a deep impression of supporting characters like Mu Nuxin. He only remembered that although Mu Nuxin's magical talent was average, his business talent was very strong.

Lin Chen echoed softly, and asked in confusion: "What about you? You just followed me without the family's consent?"

Mu Nujiao snorted coldly and said, "I was deceived by you. Anyway, it's like this now, and the family can't do anything to me."

Mu Nujiao still felt a little sorry for Lin Chen because she lied. In fact, the Mu family knew the situation of the two. After learning that Lin Chen had a complicated background, the Mu family also hoped that the two could be together. In Mu Nujiao's view, this was undoubtedly a marriage, but the object of the marriage was the person she liked. Mu Nujiao didn't want Lin Chen to feel that her family was too complicated, so she chose to tell this white lie.

Lin Chen gently stroked Mu Nu's delicate skin and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, the Mu family will definitely not do anything to you!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Mu Nujiao's heart warmed, and a happy smile appeared on her beautiful face.

……

Time flies, a few days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for school to start.

Mu Nujiao has been practicing very hard these days, and her plant system is already heading towards intermediate perfection. Lin Chen had given her his Three-Step Tower opportunity before, and Mu Nujiao is just waiting for school to start to try to break through to the higher levels through the Three-Step Tower. According to her physical fitness and mental strength, it is basically stable for her to step into the fourth level of the Three-Step Tower.

Although Mu Nujiao was busy with cultivation and did not spend much time with Lin Chen every day, Lin Chen's life was more fulfilling. Lin Chen went to Douluo Continent from time to time. Yu Xiaogang trained Shrek's students just like in the original novel, running and medicinal bathing. This kind of training method that stimulated potential made the students dissatisfied.

Take Ning Rongrong for example. Can’t she run while staying in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect short of money to buy medicinal herbs?
But what surprised Lin Chen was that although the students were dissatisfied, no one was willing to be the first to speak out. Flanders also did a lot of ideological work in private, and everyone chose to give Flanders face, so they were polite to Yu Xiaogang on the surface, but complained in private.

This also led to a strange scene in Shrek Academy, as if all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy were acting with Yu Xiaogang.

From beginning to end, only Yu Xiaogang did not notice anything unusual. Instead, he enjoyed it and enjoyed the "respect" of all teachers and students!
Qian Renxue and Hu Liena have been "disguised" in Douluo Continent for a long time, which has resulted in Bibi Dong being the only one left in the spiritual world. Lin Chen has no ambition to make progress, and is idle all day long, never taking the initiative to practice during holidays.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong decisively seized the opportunity, and her cultivation level increased steadily. It didn't feel good to be sneaky, but Bibi Dong was very persistent, and Lin Chen could do nothing about it.

When the new semester started, a piece of news immediately spread throughout Mingzhu Academy: Mo Fan almost killed a senior student from the Wind Department the day before school started.

Due to the previous freshman beast fighting competition, Mo Fan’s reputation in Mingzhu Academy was not good.

This incident spread like wildfire in the school, and Mo Fan became completely infamous.

The day before school started, Ai Tutu also returned to the Magic City. After learning that Lin Chen gave the spot in the Three-Step Tower to Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu scolded Lin Chen for being partial.

Lin Chen was helpless about this, after all, Mu Nujiao was his woman.

Although Ai Tutu has good intentions, neither her appearance nor her personality are Lin Chen's type. As for her favoritism, it is nonsense. Lin Chen has always been nice to only his own people!
However, Lin Chen still revealed some information about the assessment content of the main campus in the future, asking Ai Tutu to actively strive for it, and perhaps he would have the opportunity to obtain the three-step tower.

Mu Nujiao successfully entered the Three-Step Tower. Lin Chen went to Mingzhu Academy to report on time every day. While accompanying the little sheep Ding Yumian, he secretly kept an eye on Xu Zhaoting.

In the original novel, Xu Zhaoting is a complete tragedy. He is not very capable and is a master at cheating on women.

When one's own strength is not strong, normal people will develop in a low-key manner and work hard to improve their cultivation.
