Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 78 First Suppression of Evil Fire

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days have passed.

"We've finally arrived. I'm really not used to riding in a horse-drawn carriage for so long."

Deng Mu stepped down from the carriage and looked at Shrek Academy not far away, talking to himself.

I can't help but feel nostalgic for the cars, airplanes, high-speed trains, and other modes of transportation that existed before I traveled through time.

However, these things don't exist in this world yet; they won't appear for another ten thousand years.

If this were Earth, in ten thousand years, if nothing had happened to humanity, they would have already left the Milky Way and gone to other places.

Later, I can tell Huo Yutong and the others about the train and develop soul tools together to benefit ordinary people and myself.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya got off the carriage and nodded in agreement with Deng Mu's words.

"Let's go eat at the cafeteria."

"Um."

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan agreed to Deng Mu's suggestion without hesitation.

In the past, the two of them definitely wouldn't have agreed, because Shrek Academy's tuition and living expenses were quite high, and it was unlikely that ordinary soul masters like them would go.

Some time ago, they learned that Deng Mu had a lot of money, so they thought it wouldn't be a big deal to visit him a few times occasionally.

Arriving at the restaurant where they had their last gathering, Deng Mu and Tang Ya had a simple meal before returning to Shrek Academy.

"Little Mu, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye, Xiao Mu. Come visit us sometime."

"Okay, I got it. I'll come visit you guys when I have time."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Nannan and the others, Deng Mu headed towards the inner courtyard.

On the way, Deng Mu encountered many former classmates, and one person in particular caught his attention.

That person is Ning Tian, ​​the young master of the Glazed Tile School and a student at Shrek Academy.

She was originally a woman, but later underwent gender reassignment surgery to become a man, and married her childhood best friend, Wu Feng.

The reason he remembers it so clearly is because Ning Tian underwent gender reassignment surgery, which left a deep impression on him.

His talent seems quite good, and his strength seems to have reached the Soul Master level, but I'm not sure exactly how high.

He had met Ning Tian once before, and the two could be considered friends.

He remembered that Wu Feng was a lesbian who liked Ning Tian, ​​but that was all he could remember.

After all, these two were supporting characters; how could he possibly remember them so clearly?

Seeing Ning Tian approaching, Deng Mu greeted him, "Ning Tian, ​​it's been a long time."

Ning Tian, ​​who was deep in thought, was brought back to his senses by Deng Mu's words and then noticed Deng Mu not far away.

She still had a strong impression of Deng Mu; he was handsome, talented, and currently a student in the inner academy, far beyond her reach.

She envied Deng Mu immensely, and sometimes she wished she could be as free as Deng Mu.

Ning Tian greeted Deng Mu with a smile: "Deng Mu, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

Deng Mu replied with a smile, "Not bad. I spent the holidays at home with my family, and now that I'm back at school, I'm hoping to make some new breakthroughs in the new semester. How about Ning Tian?"

Ning Tian nodded slightly, but a hint of melancholy lingered in his expression: "It's just so-so. I always run into bottlenecks in my cultivation, which is quite worrying." After saying that, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "Unlike you, who has had a smooth journey all the way, and you've thrived in the inner courtyard like a fish in water."

Hearing Ning Tian's words, Deng Mu looked at Ning Tian with some surprise.

He didn't understand Ning Tian, ​​and didn't know why Ning Tian was like this. Perhaps it was because of the pressure?

Deng Mu's heart skipped a beat. He put away his smile and said seriously, "Ning Tian, ​​don't say that. Who hasn't stumbled during their cultivation? What others see as smooth sailing is actually the result of a lot of hard work and countless setbacks. You come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with a profound foundation. Your cultivation techniques are excellent in every way. I'm quite envious of you."

Ning Tian smiled wryly and shook his head slightly: "You don't understand. As the young master of the sect, the expectations on my shoulders are too heavy. Everyone is watching me, waiting for me to make a name for myself. But the more anxious I am, the more chaotic things become, and my soul power stagnates."

As she spoke, she clenched her fists, her face full of helplessness.

After venting his feelings, Ning Tian felt much better.

She didn't know why she said these things to Deng Mu, but she felt that Deng Mu was someone who could listen to her innermost thoughts.

"Ning Tian!"

Just then, a girl's voice rang out.

Deng Mu and Ning Tian heard the girl's voice and looked in the direction of the sound.

The newcomer was a girl with short red hair; Deng Mu remembered her name was Wu Feng.

Deng Mu looked at Wu Feng and said to Ning Tian beside him, "Ning Tian, ​​your friend is here to see you. See you next time."

Ning Tian nodded and said softly, "Alright, Deng Mu, thank you for your understanding today. See you next time."

Having said that, he took a few steps toward Wu Feng.

Deng Mu walked towards the inner courtyard; he didn't particularly like interacting with Wu Feng.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Wu Feng strode over, grabbed Ning Tian's arm, and, noticing Ning Tian's bad mood, frowned and asked, "What's wrong? You look so pale."

Ning Tian patted her hand lightly and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, I just chatted with Deng Mu for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng glanced at Ning Tian with some suspicion, then looked at Deng Mu's back.

For some reason, she had a vague feeling that Deng Mu had bullied Ning Tian, ​​but Ning Tian was unwilling to say it.

"Okay, let's go out to eat, I'm starving."

Wu Feng pulled Ning Tian along, walking briskly while muttering to himself.

Ning Tian was dragged along by her and had no choice but to follow. As he left, he glanced in the direction Deng Mu had gone.

……

"I'm back. I wonder if Sister Xiaotao is still at Shrek Academy."

Arriving at his dormitory, Deng Mu looked at Ma Xiaotao's room and muttered to himself.

Considering it was already evening, it wouldn't be appropriate to bother Ma Xiaotao now; I'd send someone to visit her tomorrow.

"boom--"

A loud bang came from Ma Xiaotao's house.

Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao burst out of the house, engulfed in flames, and charged toward Deng Mu.

Seeing this, Deng Mu wasn't too worried. He had the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, and he could use the extreme ice to suppress the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body.

Thinking of this, Deng Mu shot a blue beam of light at Ma Xiaotao's head.

When the blue light struck Ma Xiaotao, she fainted, and the flames on her body disappeared.

Deng Mu quickly stepped forward, steadily caught the unconscious Ma Xiaotao, checked her breathing, and breathed a sigh of relief.

On his first use, Deng Mu was worried that he might accidentally hurt Ma Xiaotao.

Was Ma Xiaotao accidentally killed?

It's unlikely; I didn't use much energy, so it's impossible for me to cause too much damage.

Princess picked up Ma Xiaotao and Deng Mu returned to his room.

Given his relationship with Ma Xiaotao, it was impossible for him to leave her alone outside, so he let her sleep at his house for one night.

After placing Ma Xiaotao on the bed, Deng Mu took off her coat, covered her with a blanket, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He would never take advantage of Ma Xiaotao in her vulnerable state, especially since he and Ma Xiaotao are good friends. How could good friends do something like that?
