Chapter 160 - 13: Curious About Shen Fei, Desert Abyss

Upon hearing the Plague Doctor’s words, Su Muyu’s eyes lit up.

The words she was about to say were left unsaid; these losers were not as important as her husband.

That guy wasn’t worthy of hearing them anyway.

Su Muyu quickened her pace and saw the figure entering through the door.

Just moments ago, Su Muyu, who resembled an ice-cold goddess, broke into a smile and hurried toward the door.

Some who immersed themselves in Su Muyu’s icy demeanor witnessed her smile as if a spring breeze had passed, causing the ice to melt and revealing spring’s warmth.

The hint of springtime in that fleeting moment struck directly at the hearts of those present.

"The ice melts, but it has nothing to do with me!"

The thought flashed through everyone’s minds, followed by an intense surge of envy and jealousy.

Even though they hadn’t eaten anything, they felt as if they’d been fed a mouthful of lemon.

Su Muyu’s arms wrapped around the newcomer’s arm, pulling him into her embrace.

"Is it resolved?"

Shen Fei, feeling the softness against his arm, smiled.

He naturally knew Su Muyu had taken care of Tron.

He pretended not to know, as it was a playful way for the couple to have something to chat about.

"It’s resolved, but he’s not dead.

However, I didn’t let the Plague Doctor heal him. His mouth is too foul."

Though the Plague Doctor had advanced to Medicine Ancestor, both still preferred calling him the Plague Doctor.

"As long as he isn’t dead."

Shen Fei had no intention of healing Tron.

He brought the Plague Doctor along just to prevent Su Muyu from accidentally killing someone and causing complications or wasting time.

If he isn’t dead, let America treat him.

"Let’s go back and eat."

Shen Fei and Su Muyu, as if nothing had happened, headed toward the door.

Bodun, seeing Shen Fei appear and then walk away without saying a word, quickly stood up and shouted, "Su..."

"Speak another word, and don’t blame me if a sword falls upon your neck!" Suddenly, a chilling voice sounded in the air.

Bodun felt a cold presence looming around his neck, making his face stiffen.

But he couldn’t pinpoint where it came from.

Even though he was Tier Five, he couldn’t detect the hidden presence.

But he could ascertain that the speaker was serious. He opened his mouth slightly but said nothing.

Meanwhile, Shen Fei and Su Muyu had already walked out of the Martial Arts Arena under everyone’s gaze.

Shen Fei’s swift arrival and departure naturally caught the attention of many spectators present.

"Is that Shen Fei? He’s indeed handsome!"

"Hehe, is that what you call handsome? If he were a girl and that strong, I’d directly pursue him.

Strong in ability, high in talent, and decent in character; didn’t you hear about the college entrance exams...?"

"I just don’t get who gave Tron the courage to flirt with Brother Shen’s wife."

"Probably Queen Liang."

"Nonetheless, the fact that Goddess Su is so strong but only ranked second in the exams indicates Shen Fei is truly a monster!"

Some sophomores and juniors who had gone to train elsewhere weren’t quite aware of the entrance exam performances.

They saw Su Muyu’s fighting prowess, and some sophomores felt they would lose against her.

And she was only ranked second.

What about her husband?

Soon, the footage of Shen Fei’s entrance exam performance and the South China Area recognition ceremony were broadcasted on many people’s phones.

In a short time.

Videos of Shen Fei’s Summoned Beasts, led by Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable, treating the Fourth-tier Abyss King like a pig were shared.

That Black Beetle King tried to escape but was forcefully dragged back by Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable.

And the scene where Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable extravagantly showed his might by grabbing the mountainous Flame Demon Earth Dragon’s tail and viciously swinging it side to side was brutal.

These videos started circulating on Imperial University’s internal forums, and people began understanding Shen Fei’s formidable power.

"That fool should be grateful Brother Shen didn’t step in; otherwise, he’d worry that Brother Shen’s Summoned Beast might crush him casually."

"Luckily, Sister-in-law is kind-hearted. At least with her, he can remain alive."

"Even among unique professions, there’s such a vast difference!"

...

Once everyone learned from the videos about Shen Fei’s strength, discussions stirred.

The title of strongest freshman was instantly bestowed upon Shen Fei.

Because the displayed power truly was outrageous.

Completely beyond the norm.

Of course, some didn’t believe Shen Fei, supposedly a Summoner who’d just awakened, could accomplish such feats.

But no matter what, Shen Fei and Su Muyu, the newly enrolled divine couple, had already risen to fame.

Especially Su Muyu’s assertive husband-protecting words.

Led many to wonder, if Shen Fei fully unlocked his potential, to what extent would it reach.

...

Just having returned from shopping outside, Zhang Yuanqiu came back to the faculty quarters, received this news, and felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Huh? Both sides got into a fight, and Tron was beaten to within an inch of his life?"

Especially upon knowing the contestants.

One was the second place in the college entrance exams; the other was an exchange student. There was already a certain tension between the original Imperial University students and exchange students.

Now Su Muyu even beat up Tron.

Yet, when she understood the reason behind it, she furrowed her brows, "What’s the public opinion like now?"

Zhang Qiuying glanced at her roommate, Lin Ruyan.

"What public opinion? It’s completely one-sided. But you might face some trouble due to those persistent nuisances."

"I should have been like you and just gotten a reception teacher role. Now stuck as a class teacher, the room is full of troublemakers."

"That just shows off your excellence. Don’t worry; the school treasures Shen Fei greatly. Even if Su Muyu killed Tron on the spot,

there wouldn’t be any major issues."

Lin Ruyan laid on the bed, speaking leisurely.

Only then did Zhang Qiuying recall Lin Ruyan’s words, "Oh right!"

"You should make the most of your connection with Shen Fei; worried about your job title over the next four years?"

"Are you asking me to wreck someone else’s relationship? But won’t someone’s wife..."

"What are you thinking, you tease? I’m telling you to build a good relationship with Shen Fei and Su Muyu." Lin Ruyan glared at her busty but brainless friend.

"Build a good relationship? You said ’make the most of it,’ and I can only think of the wrong things."

Zhang Qiuying blushed, "Let me handle this matter first. These stupid golden retrievers are just causing me trouble.

This morning in class, they even asked if I had a boyfriend or a husband..."

"No choice, as recently with the Abyss turmoil, the international talks about forming a federation have been growing; everyone wants to be the boss to chase influence."

"Especially the Ice Abyss; I’ll even have to go soon."

"Times of turmoil." Zhang Qiuying sighed, "I’ll have to go too; that’s the policy."

...

Meanwhile, Shen Fei and Su Muyu didn’t roam the school but headed straight to the library at Imperial University.

Though the primary focus for Professionals is leveling up, knowledge and combat techniques are critical as well.

Learning some knowledge is still important, not to mention Shen Fei’s ’War School’ path requires a deep understanding of the Abyss.

Moreover, he needs to know about various past victories, counterattacks, and failed campaigns targeting the Abyss.

While Su Muyu was reading detailed descriptions about Warlock battles.

Professional battles aren’t just a matter of skill exchanges; even skills aren’t necessarily fixed, as there’s room for manipulation and change between skills.

Such as today’s Fire of Evil Power.

Hence, to make skills change more diversely, one must learn more about how to alter their state.

The library was filled with the sound of pages turning.

Neither Shen Fei nor Su Muyu paid attention to the discussions stirring outside.

They kept their ears clear of outside affairs, until near dusk when they closed their books and returned to their dorm.
