"Master, what happened to Zhu Sha? Why did she turn back into a dragon egg? Do you have to hatch her again, Master?" Xu Yourong reached out and curiously poked the light cocoon that Zhu Sha had turned into. She found that the light cocoon was hard, and there were some mysterious patterns with very light colors flowing on it.
Hearing Xu Yourong's words, Mo Mo was speechless. What did she mean by "I re-hatched"? It was as if she had hatched this little black dragon herself.
Mo Mo reached out and tapped Xu Yourong's pretty nose, saying with a helpless expression, "First of all, I am a human. I neither lay eggs nor incubate them. Secondly, the little black dragon did not turn back into a dragon egg. This is just a protective layer, a hard shell formed to protect her from being disturbed."
"So that's how it is. I was even thinking that Master would let you hatch the little black dragon again." A hint of disappointment flashed in Xu Yourong's eyes. She was clearly disappointed that she couldn't watch Mo Mo hatch the egg.
Seeing the fleeting disappointment in Xu Yourong's eyes, Mo Mo's lips twitched involuntarily. What a disaster! What kind of disciples have I taken on!
The others who entered Zhou Garden were devastated, because Zhou Garden was not the treasure trove and medicinal herbs they had imagined. On the contrary, it was extremely barren and did not even have anything of any quality.
If they could see Mo Mo's storage space, they would know why Zhou Garden was completely different from what was rumored.

Chapter 231 Change of Fortune
Logically, Mo Mo should have entered after Xu Yourong and the others, so he should have been able to reunite with them soon. However, so much time has passed, and Xu Yourong, Xiao Heilong, and the other two have already found this mountain range called Muyu before he finally appeared.
If anyone could see what was in Mo Mo's storage space, they would know why. After Mo Mo came in, he did not meet up with them directly. Instead, he used his powerful divine sense and speed to quickly search the entire Zhou Garden, taking away all the slightly better items and leaving only some relatively conspicuous and not very valuable things. After all, he had eaten the meat, so he couldn't let others not even have soup to drink, right?
However, he didn't touch many things in Zhou Dufu's tomb, only taking some precious books and such. But he took all the famous swords from the Sword Pool. Although he didn't like these swords, it didn't mean others didn't. Mo Mo believed that this batch of famous swords was enough for him to exchange for a lot of good things, especially some books and cultivation techniques.
With a wave of his hand, Mo Mo put away the large cocoon that the little black dragon had transformed into, and then led Xu Yourong and the others to wander around. Since they had already achieved their purpose of entering Zhou Garden, he had never paid attention to the star map that the others were so eager for. Moreover, Chen Changsheng would retrieve the star map himself. Furthermore, Zhou Garden had been consolidated by Mo Mo, and there was still some distance before it collapsed. Besides, Chen Changsheng and the others had gone to the mausoleum with Zhou Yuren this time, so obtaining the star map would be no problem at all.
Zhou Dufu's small world is not small, covering an area of no less than a thousand miles. Although there are few or no living beings inside, the scenery is indeed beautiful, but it is far inferior to Mo Mo's Qiankun Small World. However, it is still a rare and beautiful sight at present.
This trip to Zhou Garden was less disruptive to the demons compared to the original story. Although Mo Mo had looted most of the good stuff, the harvest was still considerable. In particular, Qi Jian from the Li Shan Sword Sect was incredibly lucky to find a Thousand Star Grass that was already three hundred years old. Outside, it's rare to find even a ten-year-old one, let alone a three-hundred-year-old one. This is because Thousand Star Grass can slightly increase cultivation speed when taken directly, and the older the grass, the better the effect. Qi Jian's grass could increase her cultivation speed by at least 20%. Moreover, this Thousand Star Grass is also the main ingredient for refining Thousand Star Pills.
One Thousand Star Pill can double a person's cultivation speed within a year, and this plant is enough to refine seventeen or eighteen Thousand Star Pills. Although the effect of the pill will become weaker over time, it will still be very easy for her to cultivate to the point of drawing stars into her body.
Of course, there were also some other lucky ones. For example, a pretty woman from the Thirteen Divisions of Qingyao also obtained a Silver Fruit. Although the name Silver Fruit is not unusual, its efficacy and popularity are even greater than those of Thousand Star Grass.
Silver Fruits only grow in places rich in stellar energy. They bloom once every ten years, bear fruit once every ten years, and mature after another ten years. Mature silver fruits are light white with a hint of green. Although they can be harvested at this stage, their effects are at their weakest, though they can improve one's cultivation to a certain extent.
What's most amazing is that the Silver Fruit doesn't wither after it matures, but continues to absorb the power of the stars. It also undergoes a transformation every ten years, and with each transformation, its color becomes closer and closer to silver-white. With each transformation, the power of the stars on its body becomes more and more concentrated, and it increases one's cultivation level by more and more. Finally, it turns completely silver-white, which is the origin of the name Silver Fruit.
When the fruit turns completely silvery-white, consuming the Silver Fruit can even turn an ordinary person with no cultivation into a master of Star-Attracting Fate directly. Of course, if this happens, his path to the Great Dao will also be cut off, since the foundation of cultivation obtained out of thin air is unstable. The reason why it is more famous than the Thousand Star Grass is because legend has it that if a master at the peak of the Star-Attracting Realm consumes it, he will have the opportunity to directly ascend to sainthood.
These things were actually left behind by Mo Mo on purpose. After all, it wouldn't make sense for such a large Zhou Garden to not have a few things that could keep things in check. Moreover, these things that increase hope are of no use to Mo Mo, and he already has all of these things.
When Mo Mo and his group strolled over to Zhou Dufu's tomb, Chen Changsheng and the others had already come out. From their expressions and the faint smiles on their faces, Mo Mo knew that they must have gained a lot from this trip. After casually scanning the tomb with his divine sense, Mo Mo discovered that apart from some things that could not be taken away or were useless, everything else, including Zhou Dufu's coffin, had disappeared.
Mo Mo glanced at the ring in Zhou Yuren's hand and knew that if he was not mistaken, Zhou Dufu's coffin should be lying quietly in the storage ring in Zhou Yuren's hand, and the daily necessities that Zhou Dufu had used and which had disappeared from the tomb should also be in the ring.
"Alright, we've got everything, shouldn't we be going?" Seeing everyone's satisfied expressions, Mo Mo suggested.
Everyone had a good haul and had taken everything they could, so they readily agreed. Only Zhou Yuren's eyes showed a hint of struggle, clearly indicating that she wanted to stay a little longer.
Mo Mo naturally noticed the hesitation in Zhou Yuren's eyes. He knew that Zhou Yuren wanted to stay a little longer in this place where her brother had once lived, even though the traces he had left behind had long been worn away by the river of time.
After estimating how much time was left before Zhou Garden collapsed, Mo Mo suddenly spoke up: "I just remembered something very important. We should stay here and let the Empress send the others out, because a great opportunity awaits you soon."
Just as Chen Changsheng and the others who were about to signal for the people behind them to return, they were visibly stunned when they heard Mo Mo's words. After understanding what Mo Mo said, their eyes lit up. They were quite certain that if Mo Mo said it was a great opportunity, then it really would be a great opportunity. So, without thinking, they left to signal the people outside.
A minute or two later, a series of spatial fluctuations emanated from the void, indicating that the outside world had received their message, and Zhou Garden was indeed becoming increasingly unstable.
A few minutes later, Mo Mo told them that there was no one else in Zhou Garden except them. At this moment, the spatial fluctuations in the void not only did not decrease, but became stronger and stronger. The pebbles on the ground also began to jump, and then gradually even the ground began to shake.
Fortunately, none of the people here were mediocre. Although it was a bit strenuous, they were all able to stand safely on the ground. However, this was only temporary, because the stone pillars in front of the tomb had begun to collapse, the ground had begun to crack, and even the mountain peaks had begun to tremble and collapse.
Just as Chen Changsheng and the others turned pale and were about to give up, a circular, transparent protective shield completely enveloped them and then lifted them into the air.
As they took off, the ground trembled more and more violently, and it seemed that not only the ground but also the sky was shaking.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 232 An Ambiguous Deal
Soon, Chen Changsheng and the others realized that it was not an illusion, but that the sky was really shaking. To their astonishment, the void cracked open with dark fissures, crisscrossing like a spider web, and the area around the small world began to collapse.
The collapse of the small world was different from what they had imagined. They had thought that the small world would be torn into pieces and then shatter, but now they found that this was not the case. Although the middle part of the small world was indeed full of void rifts, it did not actually collapse. Even though the largest rift ran through the entire small world and divided it into two halves, the small world was still firm. What really frightened Chen Changsheng and the others was the area around the small world.
At this moment, the entire small world was collapsing and cracking, with crisscrossing void fissures. However, the outermost edge of the small world was unusually calm. This was what shocked Chen Changsheng and the others the most, because the outermost edge of the small world was silently melting away, just like the thin snow under the rifting sun. But unlike the thin snow under the rifting sun, which leaves a puddle of water when it melts, the melting of the small world left nothing but endless darkness.
As time went by, the Zhou Garden Small World shrank smaller and smaller. When the entire Zhou Garden was still nearly a hundred miles in size, it shattered into pieces of space and then quickly dissolved. Finally, everything went black, and Chen Changsheng and the others knew nothing more.
When Chen Changsheng and the others woke up, they found themselves already in their own beds. Even now, recalling everything they had seen in Zhou Garden, they were still filled with awe. This had become one of the most precious memories of their lives, and whenever they looked back on their past, they would inevitably think of everything they had seen in Zhou Garden.
After Zhou Garden was completely destroyed, Mo Mo led Chen Changsheng and the others back to the National Academy by following the spatial coordinates of the National Academy through the spatial turbulence after the small world was destroyed. What was deadly to others was no problem for Mo Mo. However, although Chen Changsheng and the others had Mo Mo's protection, they were unable to use the spatial turbulence to disturb them and all fainted. However, they were not seriously injured and just needed to rest.
Upon returning to the National Academy, Mo Mo discovered that his academy had been sealed off, and the order came from the Tianhai family. After questioning Mo Yu and Tianhai Youxue, who were hiding in the academy, Mo Mo learned that the Tianhai family had conspired with the Pope to rebel and had now seized control of the entire court. However, because Mo Mo had set up a sword formation, no one else could get in, which allowed Mo Yu and Tianhai Youxue to escape unscathed.
While Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were still unconscious, Mo Mo finally learned the whole story through a conversation with them in the garden.
It turned out that after killing Tianhai Ya'er that day, Tianhai Youxue also fell into a coma. After Tianhai Youxue fell into a coma, she was discovered by the palace maids, who then quickly informed Mo Yu, who was in charge of Zhou Garden affairs. Mo Yu handed the key to Zhou Garden to one of the generals and rushed back to Tianhai Youxue's palace. Just as she was dispelling the sleeping incense from Tianhai Youxue, the Pope suddenly arrived and fought with Mo Yu.
Over the years, Mo Yu has frequently gone to Mo Mo to beg for favors. Although he has not yet reached the Saint Realm, he has already gathered stars and possesses incredibly strong true essence. In addition, he obtained some strange and unusual items from Mo Mo, which allowed him to fight the Pope to a standstill. However, as the items are consumed one by one, defeat is only a matter of time.
Just as Mo Yu had only a few Chaos Poison Pills left, the Holy Empress suddenly woke up. Upon discovering that Tianhai Youxue had awakened, Mo Yu was overjoyed and immediately threw a Chaos Poison Pill at the Pope. The Pope, having already experienced the power of these little things, immediately retreated.
Although these things on Mo Yu's body weren't particularly lethal, they were extremely disgusting. Like the nail at the beginning, it looked like an ordinary nail, but it could ignore his defenses and drive directly into his body. However, once he was targeted, he didn't need to suffer any damage, but he was fixed in place. Although his true energy and techniques could still be used, they would dissipate silently as soon as he moved a foot away from his feet, leaving him only able to defend passively.
After throwing out the Chaos Pill, Mo Yu quickly retreated to Tianhai Youxue's bedside. On the way, he saw the Pope retreating and a cunning look flashed in his eyes. The Pope saw the fleeting cunning in Mo Yu's eyes and knew something was wrong. He hurriedly put on his defense and retreated rapidly, but it was too late. When the pill was more than a meter away from him, it suddenly increased its speed and caught up with him in an instant. It then exploded into a cloud of smoke, quickly enveloping him.
After being enveloped in smoke, the Pope immediately realized something was wrong. He found that he wanted to back away but suddenly turned and ran to the left, and when he wanted to walk to the left, he backed away. His whole body seemed to be out of control and in a state of chaos.
Seeing this, Mo Yu hurriedly helped up the Holy Empress Tianhai Youxue, who was still weak and powerless even though she had woken up. Then, under the Pope's furious gaze, Mo Yu quickly left the palace. Moreover, Mo Yu gave her a Chaos Pill as she left.
After leaving the palace, Mo Yu found that the area outside was indeed deserted. Presumably, most of the palace had been taken over by the Pope. So she did not shout for help, but instead quickly led Tian Hai You Xue out of the palace.
Finally, they were intercepted at the palace gate. Fortunately, not everyone had betrayed them, so Mo Yu protected Tian Hai You Xue and escaped in the chaos. On the way, they were caught up by the Pope again. With this precaution, Mo Yu was quickly suppressed by the Pope, and the Chaos Pill failed to work again. In the end, in a critical moment, Tian Hai You Xue used the little true energy she had managed to recover to fight the Pope head-on. Mo Yu also took the opportunity to hit the Pope with the Chaos Pill again. In addition, to prevent any accidents, she gave the Pope the remaining three Chaos Pills. Then she helped up Tian Hai You Xue, who was seriously injured and about to fall into a coma after fighting the Pope. Finally, she managed to hide in the National Academy without any danger and temporarily stabilized Tian Hai You Xue's injuries.
After the failure, the Pope quickly ordered the Tianhai family to mobilize troops and seal off the National Academy on charges of treason. Mo Mo and the others then returned.
"In other words, the Pope and the Tianhai family have now formed an alliance and openly rebelled, and they've even succeeded." Mo Mo was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that Tianhai Youxue hadn't been seriously injured because of Chen Changsheng, nor had she handed over the Star Array to the Pope, yet the Pope still succeeded. She truly lived up to her reputation as an old fox who had endured for many years; her methods were endless. She even managed to use a sleeping potion that could knock out people from the Saint Realm. However, it was a pity that Mo Yu had completely ruined this good plan. Otherwise, he could have truly succeeded in mastering the Star Array and ascending to the throne.
As Chen Changsheng woke up and walked to the garden gate in a daze, he suddenly heard a voice from the garden: "As long as you can defeat Yin Xingdao and help the Crown Prince ascend the throne, I can agree to any condition you set." Tianhai Youxue bit her red lips and looked at Mo Mo with a seductive expression, emphasizing the word "any" in particular.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 233 An Unexpected Trial
"As long as you can defeat Yin Xingdao and help the Crown Prince ascend the throne, I can agree to any of your conditions." Tianhai Youxue lightly bit her red lips, instantly transforming her originally dignified and noble demeanor into an exceptionally charming one. Coupled with the previous sentence, her allure increased dramatically, almost making Mo Mo's heart flutter.
"I like this, but I hope you won't regret it later." Mo Mo smiled slightly, thinking about the various treasures in the Great Zhou Treasury, and turned to walk towards the garden gate, while Chen Changsheng, who was coming towards him, had a complicated expression.
Upon seeing Chen Changsheng, Tianhai Youxue waved to Mo Yu, who immediately understood and quickly left, leaving only Chen Changsheng and his mother, Tianhai Youxue.
“Mother, you really don’t need to do this. The Master is actually a very good person. Even if you don’t say anything, he will help you get rid of the rebels and restore the throne.” Chen Changsheng said anxiously after the two sat down in the small pavilion in the garden.
“I know he’s very good to you, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and favors can run out. Although he’s very good to you now, if you take his kindness for granted and don’t reciprocate, only letting him give, you will inevitably become strangers in the end, or even enemies.” Tianhai Youxue naturally knew that Mo Mo was indeed very good, and that he was truly good to Chen Changsheng and the others, but having experienced the trials of time and seen the world’s splendor, she knew the saying that long-standing kindness can turn into enmity.
When someone receives kindness from others for a long time, they gradually become accustomed to it and eventually take it for granted. But when that person suddenly stops being so kind to them, even if they are treated as an equal to others, that person will feel that others have wronged them, putting themselves in the victim's shoes, and thus resent the person who was once kind to them. On the other hand, when someone has been doing good deeds for others for a long time, although they may have become accustomed to it, the lack of reciprocation over a long period of time will inevitably lead to some dissatisfaction deep in their heart, which can easily lead to conflict and eventually turn them into strangers or even enemies.
Of course, there are other possibilities and ways of doing things, but in the end, things cannot escape this outcome, because that is human nature. No one is perfect. Once you or he forms a habit, one of you will eventually get hurt. That is why Tianhai Youxue made a deal with Mo Mo to get him to help her and to enlighten Chen Changsheng and the others.
Of course, Tianhai Youxue knew that they were still far from turning their long-standing enmity into enmity, but she didn't want any accidents to happen that would cause her son to lose such a powerful ally as Mo Mo. Because she was already on her last legs, she had been severely injured when she forcibly clashed with Yin Xingdao that day. Although Mo Yu had helped stabilize her injuries on the surface, only she knew that it was just a facade. In fact, the meridians in her body were already a mess, with most of them broken, and the remaining half was also in complete disarray. The fact that she was still alive at this moment was thanks to her cultivation at the Saint Realm and the healing pills that Mo Yu had obtained from Mo Mo, which protected her heart meridian and allowed her to live for a little longer.
In Tianhai Youxue's mind, while she was still alive, using her still somewhat attractive body to exchange for a beautiful and prosperous country for her son was a sure-fire and profitable deal.
"But you don't have to do this! You can exchange other things!" Chen Changsheng really couldn't understand. The Great Zhou's treasure trove was so rich, why would they be afraid of not having enough treasures to exchange?
Tianhai Youxue stared at Chen Changsheng for a long time before letting out a soft sigh and saying, "Changsheng, haven't you noticed yet that he's been by his side all this time? When has he ever been interested in those so-called treasures? When has he ever lacked treasures? How could anything beyond the mundane world catch his eye?"
Upon careful consideration, Chen Changsheng suddenly realized that, just as Tianhai Youxue had said, Mo Mo had indeed never taken those so-called treasures to heart, and everything he had taken out was of the highest quality, leaving Chen Changsheng speechless for the time being.
Seeing Chen Changsheng clearly deep in thought, Tianhai Youxue continued, "Child, to tell you the truth, my body can't hold on much longer. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be returning to Xinghai soon. If I still had time, I might have other options, but I'm powerless now. And all I have left is this still-good body."
"How could this be? Mother, how could you die? I'll beg the master to save you. The master will definitely have a way." Chen Changsheng turned pale upon hearing this news. He had just successfully changed his fate and reunited with his mother. He thought he could live happily with the person he loved in the future, but the bad news came suddenly, making even the usually calm man panic.
“Come back. Have you forgotten what I just told you? I am a saint. Saving me will inevitably come at a great price. And what are you going to do to beg your master? Don’t forget that he only recently changed your fate, and you have never given him anything in return.”
Upon hearing Tianhai Youxue's words, Chen Changsheng's steps faltered as he walked out. "That's right, my master and I are not related. He has already changed my fate. Although he doesn't say it, are the difficulties involved really as simple as they seem on the surface? Now, what can I offer him to make him pay such a huge price again to save my mother?"
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng returned to the pavilion in a daze, his face full of resentment, and said, "But I don't want to lose my mother. I only found her not long ago, and I have already lost you once. I don't want to lose you again."
Seeing this, Tianhai Youxue smiled slightly, took Chen Changsheng's hand and patted it gently, saying, "That's why I did this. Rather than letting this body decay for the sake of a little bit of innocence, it's better to exchange it for something better before it decays. Take it easy. Besides, I really do like him. I've been lonely for too long. Do you know how lonely it is to stand at the peak? I often dream of Emperor Taizong at midnight, but I always wake up in the middle of the night, only to find myself alone in the empty palace. Do you know how lonely that is?"
Seeing the hesitation in Chen Changsheng's eyes, Tianhai Youxue knew he was wavering, so she continued, "And don't forget, after the deal, I'll be his woman too. Do you think he'll just stand by and watch me die? Isn't it a man's duty to protect his woman from harm?"
In the end, Chen Changsheng was completely persuaded by Tianhai Youxue, and he did not reject Mo Mo. Compared to his biological father whom he had never met, Chen Changsheng was more willing to accept Mo Mo. His previous opposition was just an instinctive resistance to the rules of etiquette. Now that he had been persuaded by Tianhai Youxue, he was the one who most hoped that Mo Mo would accept Tianhai Youxue. Of course, there was another person whose expectations were no less than his.
Behind a row of lush saplings in the garden, Zhou Yuren smiled sweetly, “I will definitely make you happy. Emperor Taizong, I never thought you would have this day. Don’t worry, I will put this green hat on your head myself. Although I can’t kill you to avenge my brother, being able to put this green hat on your head will be enough to vent my anger.”
The three people in the garden had no idea that their thoughts were completely different from Mo Mo's, and they were still trying to figure out how to carry out their plan.
Meanwhile, Mo Mo, the other protagonist of the story, was unaware of what had happened in the back garden. At that moment, he was happily cracking open a bag of melon seeds while watching Xuan Yuanpo and Tang Thirty-Six chase after the soldiers who were besieging the National Academy.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 234 The Demon Clan's Imminent Misfortune
Outside the National Academy, there was a cacophony of wailing and shouts of killing. Chen Changsheng and his companions could faintly hear these sounds from the garden. Upon closer listening, they realized that the voices were those of Xuan Yuanpo and Tang Thirty-Six, mixed with the shouts of others and the clash of swords. For a moment, they thought something had gone wrong and quickly left the garden to follow the sound. When they left the garden and entered the hall, they heard two sources of sound. When they followed the larger source to the hall, they discovered that the sound was coming from a large light screen inside the hall.
Bai Luoheng, who was enjoying eating melon seeds and watching Xuan Yuanpo and Tang Thirty-Six's great escape trial, spotted Chen Changsheng who came in with Tianhai Youxue. He quickly put down his melon seeds and ran to Chen Changsheng's side, excitedly explaining the current situation to the two of them.
It turned out that when Mo Mo returned, he happened to run into Xuan Yuanpo and Tang Thirty-Six, who had already woken up. The two wanted to go for a stroll after waking up, but they didn't expect to see the imposing private army of the Tianhai family outside the door. Sensing something was wrong, the two immediately turned around to find Mo Mo and the others. They happened to meet Mo Mo, who had just come out of the garden. The two said that the Tianhai family was too arrogant and they had to teach them a lesson. Mo Mo agreed to their request without hesitation, kicking the two of them out of the National Academy and keeping a close eye on them. Xu Yourong, Bai Luoheng, and the others also woke up and, finding such a good show, naturally couldn't miss it. So, a group of people took out melon seeds and sat in the auditorium to watch. Half a minute later, Tianhai Youxue and Chen Changsheng also joined the group.
At this moment, Xuan Yuanpo and Tang Thirty-Six, who were outside the National Academy, were in a sorry state. Although they had made rapid progress and were quite strong during their time at the National Academy, the pursuers behind them were not to be underestimated. These people were all elites of the Tianhai family, with two or three of them at the Guangtong You Realm. Not far away, there was also a master at the Yinxing Realm locking onto them. If the two of them had not been able to activate the National Academy's sword formation defense in a moment of crisis, they would probably have fallen long ago.
Although the two were in a sorry state, the effect was obvious. At this moment, they were no longer being chased and fleeing helplessly as before. Instead, they could occasionally fight back, and even suddenly turn around and kill one or two people. The long, still bleeding scar on the body of the middle-aged general of the Tianhai family who had reached the Tongyou Realm was Tang Thirty-Six's handiwork.
Just as everyone was watching with great interest, Mo Mo suddenly spoke up, asking Chen Changsheng and the others with a calm expression, "Did you figure anything out?"
When Mo Mo asked this question, Chen Changsheng, Bai Luoheng, and Xu Yourong fell into deep thought. Xu Yourong also thought for a moment and then showed a hint of understanding. The others understood what Mo Mo meant after a little thought. As for the little black dragon, she was only interested in the delicious food on the table.
Chen Changsheng stared at the light screen in the void for a long time. When he saw Xuan Yuanpo suddenly turn around and cleave a Tongyou Realm expert from the Tianhai family in two with a single halberd strike, and then use an array to block the full-force attack of another Tongyou Realm expert before leaving, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Changsheng. He suddenly understood the meaning of Mo Mo's words.
"Sir, are you referring to the strength of Thirty-Six and the others? Although their cultivation level hasn't improved, their combat power is at least 20% higher than before. Are you suggesting that they be trained by the Tianhai family's private army outside? That's indeed a good idea. They have the cultivation level but lack combat experience, so they can't unleash their full potential. Right now, they're constantly on the brink of life and death, and their combat power is indeed rapidly increasing. I'm afraid even I can't easily defeat them now."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but sigh softly. He probably hadn't expected that the people the Tianhai family had sent to blockade the National Academy would now become Mo Mo's tools for honing their skills. He wondered what the Pope and Tianhai Chengwu would think when they found out.
