In Hanshan Academy.
"Arrogant. You killed my instructor and still made such arrogant remarks … You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. "
In the Dean's office, an old man with a powerful figure slammed his palm into the table, turning it into dust.
"Our Hanshan Academy has been established for 200 years and has students all over the world. How can we be afraid of a little abandoned son? Even if he is a Great Master, so what? Send me the Hanshan Alumni Invitation. I want to summon the academy elites back to school and wait for this young Great Master. "
The old man was like an angry lion.
"Dean, why don't you decide whether to send the Hanshan Alumni Invitation after tomorrow's battle?" A tutor suggested, implying that if Li Mu was killed by the sword of Heaven-Sword Celestial Being tomorrow, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"No, send it now." The old dean sneered and said, "Tomorrow, as many as can come. Come with me to watch the battle. Our Hanshan Academy has been too low-key these years, so that any Tom, Dick, or Harry dared to be transferred to us. This time, the alumni meeting must be held in a big way to let the outside world know the power of our Hanshan Academy."
He was going to establish his prestige.
…
…
"Jia Zuoren, the old dog, not only did he court death, but he even implicated our Fengming Academy. He deserves to die."
In the dean's office of Fengming Academy, more than a dozen high-level officials of the academy gathered together.
A young tutor gnashed his teeth and scolded.
He was an academy elite emerging in recent years. He was entrusted with important tasks and could enter the 12-member decision-making circle of Fengming Academy. Because he was young, he was arrogant and spoke without scruples.
"He is just a dead man. Don't worry about him." An old man with yellow teeth and sparse hair chuckled wretchedly and said, "I heard that the old guy, Tie Zhan, actually sent out an alumni invitation to Mount Hanshan. Hehe, this old thing can't wait to jump. He really can't stand the loneliness."
This old man was the dean of Fengming Academy.
"Teacher, should we also send out the Phoenix Cry Alumni Invitation?" the young instructor asked.
The wretched old man waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. It's meaningless to gather so many people. Tomorrow, follow me to the Heaven Sword Martial Club to watch the battle. If Li Mu can survive, I will open the door of my Phoenix Cry Scripture Library to let him read. Haha, he can read as long as he wants. I'm not that stubborn old man Tie Zhan. Books and classics are for people to read. Hiding them won't give birth."
Black lines appeared on the young instructor's forehead.
The other higher-ups of the academy were also helpless.
His Principal's style of speech and actions was really too … unique. He didn't seem like a scholar at all.
…
…
In the courtyard of the Shack in Pig-Herding Alley.
Li Mu woke up from a night of cultivation and walked out of the practice room.
Grassy and Xia Ju had already prepared breakfast. Together with Li Mu's mother, they were waiting for Li Mu.
Dong Xue and her husband had returned to the Ning Mansion the day before yesterday. Yesterday, they came again and brought a lot of gifts.
"Meow …" The chrysanthemum leopard was lying in the yard, meowing like a big cat. It was hard to connect its meowing with its size and appearance.
Under Li Mu's treatment, its injury had basically recovered.
Only that eye, because its eyeball had been pierced, could no longer see anything. It could only be a one-eyed person in the future.
Li Mu threw a large piece of fresh pork hind leg meat as the chrysanthemum leopard's breakfast. Then, he smiled and sat at the table with Li Mu's mother and others to eat.
After Li Mu set up the tactical deployment, the small courtyard was full of vitality. The air was extremely fresh, and there was a kind of refreshing atmosphere. The abundant Spiritual Qi was very nourishing. Li Mu's mother and the other two had rested for a few days and recovered very well. Their mental state was also very good.
Even the entire Pig-Herding Alley benefited from it.
Many of the residents in the alley felt that they had slept especially well in the past few days. They were especially energetic. Some people's illnesses had inexplicably recovered. Some people's internal injuries had also inexplicably healed and disappeared. Even the hens at home could lay two eggs a day …
"Mu 'er, are you sure about tomorrow's battle?" Li Mu's mother asked casually.
What she was most worried about was this matter.
Although Li Mu had tried his best to downplay the seriousness of this battle in the past two days, in a battle of martial arts, weapons have no eyes.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. It's easy for me to win this battle."
Hearing her son's reassurance, Li Mu's mother was relieved.
The breakfast was soon finished, and Li Mu chatted with Li Mu's mother for a while.
"By the way, Mu 'er, there's something I've forgotten to tell you these days. Before you were born, there was an arranged marriage. The other party was a close friend of mine. Although we haven't been in contact for many years, I've heard that my best friend gave birth to a beautiful daughter. She's a genius …" Li Mu's mother abruptly blurted out this sentence.
"Ah?"
"Arranged marriage?"
"What's going on?"
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Six years ago, that woman came to the Chang 'an Mansion and met me. I've seen her for you. She is indeed a fairy. Unfortunately, you were not there at that time. So, there is no more news about this matter." Li Mu's mother said again, "Now that my son has come back and achieved some achievements, you can consider this matter."
Li Mu's mother was considerate.
Her best friend was the daughter of a noble family. At that time, the two were of equal status and had a good friendship. Li Mu's mother and Li Gang had not split up yet, and their lives were smooth. Therefore, they arranged the arranged marriage, which was a kind of political marriage in advance. But later, that best friend followed her husband to another place, and they were far away from each other, so they wrote less and less.
Now that Li Mu finally returned, Li Mu's mother began to plan for her son's future. If he could marry that best friend's daughter, he would have a foundation in the empire.
"Poor parents."
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Mom, it was so long ago. Now that you and I are in such a situation, maybe she doesn't want to keep the old agreement. Besides, a man doesn't need to worry about not having a wife. I can take my time to find one."
"Arranged marriage? There is no emotional foundation at all."
"Don't talk nonsense. Your Aunt He used to be a woman of her word in the capital city. She would never favor the rich and despise the poor. Six years ago, I met her daughter, Nalan Buhui. She is a reasonable and good child …" Mother Li scolded her son with a smile.
Li Mu felt a headache.
"Okay, okay, I got it. Mom, tomorrow's battle is coming. I'm going to practice hard."
Li Mu fled in panic.
Grassy and Xia Ju both giggled.
"How could the awe-inspiring Young Master be so embarrassed?"
"Meow …" The chrysanthemum leopard let out a silly cry and gnawed on a pig's leg.
…
Li Mu returned to the training room and began to meditate.
Last night, he practiced the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing for a whole night to consolidate his realm and nourish his essence, qi, and spirit.
After opening his eyes, Li Mu did not rush to continue practicing.
He opened some books in front of him.
Those were the books about the evolution of the martial arts system in this world and the grading system that he asked Zheng Cunjian to collect in the past few days. They were not secret martial arts books, but mostly about some martial arts theories and common sense.
That was what Li Mu lacked the most.
When he was in Taibai County, a remote county, he lacked martial arts knowledge. Although Li Mu had tried his best to collect some relevant books, he still did not figure out how the martial arts system in this world was divided. For example, what were the levels above the Joint-force Realm, Joint-qi Realm, Joint-thoughts Realm, and the Master Realm?
Li Mu did not have the nerve to ask about such common sense when he was communicating with his eldest brother, Guo Yuqing.
Time flew.
The sunlight coming in through the window was getting stronger.
After reading for a while, Li Mu finally finished reading all the files.
For the first time, he had such a clear understanding of the martial arts system in this world.
The level of martial arts in this world was roughly divided into the Joint-force Realm, Joint-qi Realm, Joint-thoughts Realm, Master Realm, Great Master Realm … and so on. Li Mu's current combat strength was at the level of Great Master Realm.
The next level of Great Master Realm was to break through the acquired shackles and break the predestined shackles of being born as a human being. Then, the physical body and soul would undergo qualitative changes. That was to say, one had broken through the acquired realm and entered the Natural Realm.
It was called the Natural Realm.
Experts in the Natural Realm were also called invincible experts.
As long as a wisp of Natural qi was produced in one's body, one could be considered to have entered the Natural Realm.
The whole Natural Realm was a process of completely refining and transforming the acquired qi into Natural qi. It was like sharpening a knife on a whetstone. Once the blade was completely sharpened, it could be considered to have completed the most thorough qualitative change.
In this realm, the quantity and density of Natural qi determined the level of strength.
After transforming all the internal qi in one's body into Natural qi, one would reach a higher realm —
The Celestial Being Realm.
The Celestial Being Realm was quite terrifying and was called a peerless expert.
On the entire Divine Land, the peerless experts in the Celestial Being Realm could be counted. There were peerless experts in this realm in many first-grade and second-grade sects, as well as in the royal families of the three empires. They roared and roared in one place. They could be said to be the figures at the top of the pyramid. With a single thought, they could control the life and death of thousands of creatures.
There were also some thousand-year-old demons hidden in the holy mountains and lakes. They were also in this realm.
However, demons rarely got involved in the human world. On the one hand, it was because the Human Tribe and the Demon Tribe did not get along well. On the other hand, it was because the cities where the Human Tribe lived were mostly turbid and vulgar. The Spiritual Qi was thinner than that in the primitive deep mountains. Those great demons who really devoted themselves to cultivation preferred to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and lakes and natural forbidden lands.
Only a few demons were born evil and cultivated evil arts. They needed to devour human blood, essence, and so on. Only then would they be able to take human form and blend into human society. They would engage in some shady business in the dark. However, once they were exposed, they would be hunted down by human experts. Most of them would die, so their actions were extremely secretive.

Dao Sao had to go out for a haircut, so Dao Zi updated this chapter in advance. Then, he worked hard to take care of the baby, so he wrote more slowly. Originally, he planned to save every punctuation mark and word for word, but he used up the 2,000 words he had saved … Hopefully, he could think more smoothly in the afternoon.
