Chapter 506 - 520: The Furious White Demon
CHAPTER 506: CHAPTER 520: THE FURIOUS WHITE DEMON
Mu Can’s famed victory directly provoked Bai Mo.
Ever since Bai Mo was beaten by Mu Can, he rarely appeared at Divine Wind Academy.
But this did not mean Bai Mo was indifferent to Mu Can, on the contrary, he regarded Mu Can as a thorn in his side.
The image stone that captured Mu Can stepping on his face with a foot ended up being circulated after all.
He is now the butt of the jokes across the entire Heavenly List.
Even those with lesser Cultivation than him would show a strange smile when they see him again.
Unfortunately, Bai Mo watched Mu Can for an entire month without finding any opportunity.
The guy’s Academic Points were just too abundant; following a fixed schedule every day, he didn’t even partake in any entertainment activities.
Bai Mo thought his own cultivation efforts were already arduous enough, but then he encountered someone like Mu Can, who cultivated as if he didn’t care for his own life.
"Damn it, check for me, I refuse to believe he doesn’t go anywhere else except for cultivation."
Bai Mo had a fit of rage at the headquarters of the Demon Clan, feeling like he would go insane if he couldn’t teach Mu Can a lesson soon.
The Demon Clan members could certainly understand Bai Mo’s feelings at the moment; as the president of the Demon Clan Association, his personal embarrassment meant the entire Demon Clan’s reputation was at stake.
"This Mu Can is quite close with the person at the bottom of the Yellow List; they are often seen having meals together."
A member of the Demon Clan gave Bai Mo some slightly useful intelligence.
"Target that little guy, sabotage all his recent missions," Bai Mo couldn’t help but seethe with anger when he thought of Mu Can.
How dare he pin him to the ground and beat him up; it was infuriating.
Lately, spurred by Mu Can, Luo Tian surged with diligence, not only finding a new Summoning Beast but also, with the teacher’s guidance, his Cultivation soared, and he even climbed onto the Yellow List.
You must know, out of the students at Divine Wind Academy, there are several thousand in the Spirit Transformation Realm, but the Yellow List has only thirty spots; one can imagine the difficulty of getting on the list.
However, Luo Tian recently discovered something was amiss; he hadn’t completed his Academic Points missions for nearly three days, each time ending in inexplicable failure.
It wasn’t until one day he noticed someone sneaking around after him that he realized he had been targeted by the Demon Clan.
Since he had been discovered, the Demon Clan stopped hiding their identity and blatantly sabotaged Luo Tian’s tasks.
Luo Tian was so frustrated that he was itching with anger and yet was powerless; the Demon Clan’s actions were all within the rules of Divine Wind Academy.
If Luo Tian struck first against someone from the Demon Clan, then the fault would certainly lie with him.
This was precisely why the Demon Clan was so troublesome; they always operated within the rules, even using the Academy’s rules to target others.
Fuming, Luo Tian stopped doing missions altogether and returned to Divine Wind Academy.
That night during dinner, he mentioned the matter to Mu Can.
Since Mu Can’s enrollment, he had never gone on missions; the Academic Points from being number one on the Yellow List and his super talent were already sufficient for his use.
After hearing this from Luo Tian, Mu Can understood what was going on.
It must be Bai Mo wanting to keep an eye on him but finding that he never took up missions, so Bai Mo targeted Luo Tian instead.
Ultimately, it was Mu Can’s own involvement that brought trouble to Luo Tian.
He told Luo Tian not to worry, as Mu Can already had a decision in mind.
The next day, Mu Can didn’t attend any classes and instead erected a huge sign right in front of the combat room’s entrance.
"Challenging the Demon Clan Association, thirty Academic Points per match at the same level."
This was nothing short of a slap in the face, and the news quickly spread throughout the Divine Wind Academy.
Upon hearing the news, Ling Feng burst into laughter instantly, his little junior brother Mu Can was just too talented.
A large group from the Demon Clan came imposingly to the door of the combat room, with Bai Mo leading at the front.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Bai Mo was aware of Mu Can’s combat abilities, and within the same level, no one from the Demon Clan Union could defeat Mu Can.
"I’m not up to anything. Weren’t you bullying my friend? Fine, today I’ll set up a challenge here. If you dare to take it, come on; if not, save your breath."
Mu Can brought his own chair and sat beside the placard with a contented look.
You were bullying Luo Tian, so I will slap your faces hard right here.
"Let me go, boss." Seeing Mu Can’s demeanor, a hot-headed youngster instantly got fired up and was ready to go on stage to have a big fight with Mu Can.
"Don’t go, you’re no match for him." Bai Mo directly stopped a member of his association; these people simply couldn’t beat Mu Can in a one-on-one fight at the same level.
Mu Can’s move was nothing short of brilliant, blatantly slapping the faces of the Demon Clan right here.
Bai Mo knew that if he couldn’t handle Mu Can’s issue properly, the Demon Clan’s face would be completely lost.
Now, many people had come to watch, and several of the older students recognized Bai Mo and also Mu Can, who was seen in a previously circulated video pinning Bai Mo under his foot.
They all looked at Bai Mo with a playful expression. They didn’t dare speak out against their strength, fearing that if they offended the Demon Clan, they would have to be extra cautious when undertaking missions.
"What do you want?" Bai Mo was so angry he was grinding his teeth. Under the rules of Divine Wind Academy, he really couldn’t do a thing to Mu Can.
A fair fight could only be with opponents at the same level, and even he himself was no match, let alone other members of the Demon Clan Union.
But if he didn’t let Mu Can earn Academic Points, Mu Can would certainly not let it go.
Bai Mo suddenly felt that he had been backed into a no-win situation.
"You want to resolve this issue?" Mu Can felt it was about time and looked at Bai Mo.
"How do you want to solve it?" Bai Mo perked up upon hearing there was still a chance. The longer the placard was out there, the more onlookers it drew.
"Compensate my brother with double Academic Points for five missions, and I’ll charge you a hundred points. Let that person who followed my brother apologize."
Mu Can’s demands were not excessive; he just wanted to let Bai Mo know that although he might not be as strong as Bai Mo, he was not someone the Demon Clan could bully at will.
Even bullying the people around him was unacceptable.
Others might not have the confidence to say this, but Mu Can, having already beaten up Bai Mo once, certainly had it.
If necessary, he would just hang up the placard here every day and slap your face.
Let’s see who suffers more.
After some consideration, Bai Mo immediately agreed and handed over more than a hundred points. He ordered the person who had been shadowing Luo Tian to apologize to him.
"If something like this happens again, it won’t be so simple."
Watching Bai Mo leave in disgrace, Mu Can shouted after him.
Bai Mo paused in his steps but said nothing more.
Some hatreds have sunk into the marrow of the bones; more words are futile, only blood can wash it away.
Back at the Demon Clan Association, Bai Mo, infuriated, smashed the entire hall to pieces.
