Chapter 828: Chapter 601: Look, What’s That! (Third Update)
“The fixed slots are you, the two of you, and Nuonuo.”
“Hmm, and who are the other two?” White Hair and the chubby guy exchanged a glance, calculating who would get those slots,
“William, Xiaoxi.”
They weren’t surprised by these names and were about to make the call.
However, Mu Fan didn’t stop and continued, “Ling Chuchu.”
What?
That’s already seven people.
“Are you going to ask for Gu Yunyou’s opinion?”
White Hair paused while taking out his Sky Communication, wondering what’s going on.
Eight people!
But Mu Fan thought for a moment and continued, “Inform them first, then I’ll ask two others if they’re interested.”
White Hair was left dumbfounded.
This was a configuration for ten people, kidding him!
“Who’s extra?” Finally, the chubby guy seemed to remember something and quickly asked.
“They’re all official.”
Someone nearby couldn’t help but laugh; isn’t this too presumptuous?
Young Master Zhang watching nearby felt his intelligence was being insulted. Was this kid treating everyone like fools?
This requires a whole 10 credits to form an intermediate team. Even sophomores rarely have that many surplus credits, let alone freshmen.
But the chubby guy and White Hair indeed made the calls as Mu Fan instructed.
“Where are you? Mu Fan is back, come to register the team.”
“It’s Harry, Mu Fan is back…”
“Chuchu, it’s Yin Shuai…”
The three on the Sky Communication didn’t hesitate and immediately gave a unanimous answer.
Except Chuchu asked another question about Nuonuo.
Finally, White Hair personally called the mysterious Young Master Gu, Gu Yunyou. Surprisingly, the call connected unusually smoothly.
Upon hearing White Hair’s announcement, on a floating ship over the Land of Bright Star on Blue Capital Star, a glimmer of interest flashed in Gu Yunyou’s eyes, who was wearing a Gafan 30th anniversary handmade suit.
Then he smiled slightly, “Alright, but I can’t go back now. Register me instead.”
After hanging up the call, he pensively observed the immense battlefield remains below.
Four people settled!
Who are the remaining two?
White Hair and the chubby guy looked at Mu Fan, who had already taken out his Sky Communication and dialed a number.
A girl conducting pharmacological experiments in an ancient-style plant garden felt her waist vibrate, quickly pulled out her Sky Communication, glanced at it, and murmured, “Mu Fan?”
“What are you doing? Experiments require full concentration.”
An energetic elderly man sat quietly in the deepest part of the courtyard, his stern voice frightening the girl to stick out her tongue and raise her face gloomily.
“Grandpa, it’s Mu Fan.”
“Oh, that boy isn’t hurt again, is he? I’ll give you five minutes.” Master Bai continued focusing on the two rolling clouds in his hands.
The girl with beautifully attached vines in her hair happily connected the call. Within a minute, she hung up the Sky Communication after an affirmative response.
“What is it?”
“Inviting me to join his team, a formal one,” the girl nervously conveyed Mu Fan’s tone, then looked expectantly at her grandfather.
With a loving yet stern glance at his granddaughter, Bai Yiduo, knowing full well what she had just said, chuckled.
Clearly, she had agreed outright yet pretended to seek his permission.
“Hmph.”
A snort made Bai Guyue lower her head quickly, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Since you’ve agreed, how can I stop you? But before following that brat out, practice Bai’s Extraction Skill well for self-defense; the world is a perilous place.”
Seeing his granddaughter’s demeanor, Bai Yiduo sighed.
Then, possibly recalling some bad memory, a very deep and fierce look flashed in his lowered eyes.
Clasping his hands, the two clouds condensed into a solid white cube, resembling a grayish-white stone, which he casually tossed behind him.
With a clattering sound, the special “stone” stopped, and within a meter around it, all plants turned pitch black, withering and decaying in under a second.
The stone’s color then solidified further, transforming into a pure white crystal, glistening in the sunlight.
Seeing this from the corner of her eye, Bai Guyue quickly lowered her head, whispering, “Yes.”
She knew Bai’s Extraction Skill was just her grandfather’s public reference.
This was her grandfather’s secret technique.
…
Ninth person, settled.
Watching Mu Fan’s calm demeanor, people felt uncertain.
This boy seemed serious in his contacts, as if it were real!
The growing crowd showed no sign of dispersing, awaiting the final outcome.
Only the mysterious tenth person remained…
The chubby guy and White Hair simultaneously looked at Mu Fan.
In that moment, Mu Fan showed a rare hint of hesitation.
Would Senior Sister come?
“Still one more,” Young Master Harry, unable to withstand the suspense, finally reminded.
“Hmm.”
Mu Fan responded, finally pressing the button.
The name on the Sky Communication entered call mode.
Buzz, buzz, only two rings, and the Sky Communication connected.
“Hello?” This is Mu Fan.
“Hmm.” A soft voice on the other side, as gentle as a whisper in the ear.
“I…” Mu Fan just uttered a word when a clear, cold voice like pearls falling on jade interrupted.
“Alright.”
Mu Fan lifted his head in surprise.
On the other side of the crowd, ten meters away, stood a woman with features like a painting, icy and aloof.
She seemed as if she had walked out from a portrait, her sword uniform as snowy, long hair draping down her back.
Seeing Mu Fan’s stunned gaze, the woman smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
Then she moved her long legs, stepping directly into the crowd.
The astonished crowd parted arduously, creating a path.
This, this is…
Ding Chuan, Valkyrie, the number one cold beauty…
Lu Qingxue!
Some of the girls who were previously smitten with Mu Fan were only filled with amazement and admiration upon seeing the peerless Lu Qingxue, without any envy.
In comparison to Lu Qingxue, who was unrivaled yet had created many legends, their hearts were filled only with reverence.
A month apart, Lu Qingxue’s aura of unapproachability seemed to have intensified, yet she appeared more transcendental and detached.
This rare natural beauty, in a world filled with machinery and technology, shone like starlight in darkness wherever she went.
Standing by, Teaching Assistant Jiang’s eyes also showed a hint of distraction.
In his impression, it seemed like Lu Qingxue had never joined any team since her enrollment.
This cold-blooded woman was the object of admiration for many outstanding young people in the academy.
And today, this record on the icy peak seemed to have been voluntarily broken.
Mu Fan’s bright gaze met those cold, snowy eyes, nodding slightly.
Everything was communicated without words.
Then he turned to look at his nearly petrified companions.
“Complete team, a group of ten.”
Looking at the crowd in front of the team registration hall, Mu Fan smiled.
With a light flick of the wrist, a golden Eagle Wing Badge appeared in his palm.
Raising his hand, he clenched his fingers into a fist.
Then taking a step forward, followed by three shadows behind him.
The cold and proud Lu Qingxue quietly watched the young man’s proud back with appreciation, calmly stepping forward.
The crowd instinctively parted, for at this moment Mu Fan exuded a knowing aura.
The decisive courage and calm composure he had since appeared made his peers not only marvel but also reflect.
No matter the outcome, this level of composure was worthy of the name tyrant.
Under the crowd’s gaze, these four walked into the depths of the hall.
Until Mu Fan and his group disappeared for more than ten seconds, the crowd suddenly snapped out of it.
They only then realized they should hurry inside to see the situation.
How would this impossible 10-person team be formed?
Would the fantasy of having 10 credits truly exist?
But just as they were about to act, a keen-eyed student pointed overhead.
“Look, what is that!”
