Soon, everyone lay sprawled on the ground. But Xiao Mu had taken several solid hits. Though he possessed the skills Shadowless Trace and Basic Sanda, his physical fitness hadn’t improved much. He gasped heavily, staggering toward Xu Judong.

Xu Judong stepped back fearfully, his voice weak. “Y-you stay back. We can… we can still make peace.”

“Make peace?” Xiao Mu sneered coldly. “That’s fucking hilarious!”

He threw a full-force punch into Xu Judong’s face. Xu Judong crashed down, his face swollen and red.

Pain ripped a scream from him. Meeting Xiao Mu’s icy eyes, panic flooded his heart.

Xiao Mu gave him no chance to speak. He kicked Xu Judong relentlessly, his brutal aura silencing every onlooker.

Only when exhausted did he stop. He glared down coldly. “Dare mess with me again, and I’ll make you suffer a hundred times worse.”

Xu Judong lay battered, unable to utter a word.

After today, Xiao Mu would surely rise to fame in Huazhong. He’d stand shoulder to shoulder with the Four Young Masters!

Xiao Mu left only a dashing silhouette for the crowd. He walked off with Li Yan.

“Boss, you were insane! Dozens couldn’t touch you!” Li Yan gaped at Xiao Mu, pure admiration blazing in his eyes.

“Cough…” Xiao Mu leaned weakly on him. The intense fight had drained him completely. He’d held back earlier for the crowd’s sake. Now, far away, he couldn’t hide it.

“Boss, you okay?” Li Yan asked, worried.

“I’m fine,” Xiao Mu shook his head. “Just overexerted.”

His weak physique was a real problem. Could the system fix it?

As he pondered this, someone blocked their path.

Xiao Mu looked up. It was Night Glass—one of the school’s top beauties.

She had an edgy style: wine-red hair, clothes showing her midriff and thighs. Yet, her stunning beauty radiated a unique charm.

*Ding! Congratulations, host! Third goddess Night Glass discovered. Conquest difficulty: four stars. Initial affection: 55.*

An unexpected delight.

“What do you want?” Xiao Mu asked Night Glass.

Her gorgeous eyes scanned him, intrigued. “You’re not handsome… but your eyes are nice.”

*Ding! Night Glass’s affection for host +2. Keep it up!*

Xiao Mu stayed silent.

Night Glass pressed on. “I saw your fight with Xu Judong. Your skills are the best I’ve ever seen. I want to be your disciple.”

*Ding! New quest: Accept Night Glass as disciple. Train her to gain combat ability. Reward: 100 points.*

A quest. No choice now.

Xiao Mu didn’t agree right away. “Why take you? What’s in it for me?”

“Taking someone as gorgeous as me?” Night Glass winked. “Shouldn’t you be thrilled?”

Well, it was undeniably pleasing, even if absurd.

“Enough jokes,” Night Glass turned serious. “I have influence on and off campus. If Xu Judong troubles you again, I’ll handle it.”

A solid offer. Xiao Mu didn’t hesitate. “Deal.”

“Deal.”
