Path of Alchemy Mastery Chapter 498

Bai Mo was momentarily stunned by Mu Can’s curse. In his many years at Divine Wind Academy, the number of people who dared to curse at him could be counted on one hand. He enrolled with first-class talent, and his Cultivation soared rapidly ever since. In less than a decade, he made it onto the Heavenly List. His speed to reach the Heavenly List ranked at least in the top ten in the entire Divine Wind Academy. This was a terrifying achievement, not just because of Bai Mo’s fearsome talent, but also because of his equally fearsome pace in cultivation. What made him notorious were his actions, which were utterly uninhibited. "Hehehe, interesting, it’s been many years since someone dared to curse at me." It took Bai Mo a moment to realize what had happened—he had been cursed at. This feeling was indeed too unfamiliar. He couldn’t remember how many years it had been since someone cursed him to his face. If there was any cursing, it would only be done stealthily behind his back. "So what if I curse you? You furry mess, want to try it out on the stage?" Mu Can was going all out—after all, there was no way he’d join your damned Demon Clan. Having offended him already, if it comes down to it, he might as well go all the way to the end. So what? Even if Mu Can groveled, Bai Mo would likely still treat him like trash. "You want to challenge me? Do you know who you’re talking to?" Bai Mo looked utterly astonished, his gaze at Mu Can was as if he were looking at a fool. "Mu Can, don’t fight him," Ling Feng had a look at Mu Can, seeing that his junior brother was being impulsive. Ling Feng made up his mind that he needed to report this to the Dean. Otherwise, if Bai Mo really targeted Mu Can, his days ahead would be tough. Even if his life weren’t at risk, lacking progress in strength could sometimes be even more excruciating. Especially when watching others turn Academic Points into power while being unable to complete even a single mission himself. "If you dare lay a hand on him, just wait for my senior brother to come back," Ling Feng, seeing that Mu Can was completely ignoring his own gaze. Could only turn his head to look at Bai Mo; he now only hoped that Bai Mo would take into account Long Yi’s reputation and not strike Mu Can. "Hehe, Ling Feng, I’ve told you, you’re not qualified to say that to me," Bai Mo looked at Ling Feng with a mocking face. They had fought several times, and Ling Feng never won once. "If you dare to hurt my junior brother, my senior brother will not let you off," Ling Feng stared firmly at Bai Mo. If Long Yi found out that he didn’t protect his junior brother well, he would probably give Ling Feng a severe thrashing. All the students from the Dean’s lineage feared this senior brother greatly. "Ling Feng, senior brother, it’s fine. It’s just a dead freak, right?" Mu Can waved his hand casually, fearless of anyone if it came to a fight of equals. This time, Bai Mo was truly enraged. Targeted by a little guy time and again— even mortals would lose their temper, let alone someone from the Demon Path like Bai Mo. "Kid, don’t regret it," Bai Mo’s gaze towards Mu Can was full of undisguised killing intent. "What are you looking at? Dare to make a move on me? Dare to kill me? If you don’t dare, then shut up and squint," Mu Can raised an eyebrow, speaking disdainfully. Some folks in the surrounding crowd suppressed their laughter fiercely, scared that they would burst out laughing. Whether it’s inside or outside of Divine Wind Academy, Bai Mo wouldn’t dare to make a move against Mu Can—that was certain. But he wasn’t afraid of Mu Can; what he feared was the person behind Sin City. "Enough talk, freak. Let’s have a fair duel, the stake is a hundred Academic Points. As someone from the Heavenly List, you won’t tell me you don’t even have a hundred points, will you? Speak up—do you dare?" Mu Can stared into Bai Mo’s eyes and said indifferently, speaking to him as though he was addressing a little brother. He didn’t regard Bai Mo as a true master of the Heavenly List at all. Rather, he saw him as a stray cat or dog that could be easily defeated. "As you wish." Anger surged in Bai Mo’s heart, but as it blazed, he gradually calmed down. Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses all its effort—this was something Bai Mo had understood since the first day of his cultivation. Seeing Bai Mo calm down, Mu Can gave him a surprised glance. He hadn’t expected Bai Mo’s mental cultivation to be quite decent. "Ready to fight?" Mu Can looked towards a teacher nearby, sensing that the teacher seemed somewhat fearful of Bai Mo. Ever since Bai Mo arrived, the teacher had remained silent, and Bai Mo’s behavior did seem to disregard him entirely. Divine Wind Academy truly was a magical place. "Yes." The teacher looked at Mu Can and nodded. "What about it, freak? Feel like playing on the platform?" Mu Can looked at Bai Mo provocatively and took the lead in jumping onto the stage. Bai Mo sneered and followed onto the stage. The teacher standing aside formed a Hand Formation, activating the Big Formation enveloping the entire stage in an instant. Feeling the atmosphere around Bai Mo slowly descend to the same level as his own, Mu Can was finally able to relax. If not for the platform’s ability to restrict both parties’ strength, he would never dare to challenge someone from the Wuwei Realm. An expert from the Wuwei Realm, when placed within the Three Realms, could probably destroy them all alone. Not even the ruler of the Three Realms was more than at the Primordial Realm level of Cultivation, and after sustaining injuries, now he was only about the Spirit Transformation Realm. A Bai Mo had enough power to crush the entire Three Realms, and facing him, Mu Can felt immense pressure. However, Mu Can had one great reliance, and that was his experience in an equal-ranked duel with the principal. Once the Cultivation was suppressed to the same level, the only thing left to compare was combat awareness. Whoever had the stronger sense of combat would emerge victorious, and this was where Mu Can was confident. "I admire your courage. If you would join the Demon Clan Association, I would offer you the position of an Elder." Once on the platform, Bai Mo was in no hurry to make a move against Mu Can. "Don’t you know that when a villain dilly-dallies without attacking, they often end up getting countered?" Mu Can looked at Bai Mo; Bai Mo gave him much more pressure than Sun Yao had before. This had a lot to do with Bai Mo’s strength. "Haha, since that’s the case, I guarantee you’ll never be able to complete any Academic Points tasks in the future." Bai Mo laughed out loud looking at Mu Can; this was also one of the most terrifying aspects of the Demon Clan Association. If they set their sights on someone and their invitation was declined, they would relentlessly target that person. Even if someone were to protect the targeted person, they might do so for a moment, but they could never guard them for a lifetime. "Don’t you feel that your behavior is quite childish?" Mu Can asked. The more he listened to Bai Mo speak, the more it appeared that this wasn’t any wicked Demon Clan Association at all. Instead, it seemed more like child’s play, juvenile as a kids’ squabble.
