Chapter 75: Distributing the Celestial Herbs

After Dai Mubai left the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes lingered for a while, devoid of any emotion. Eventually, she snapped back to her senses, gently wiping her lips as she murmured to herself:

"So over the line…"

Though she said that, the anticipation in her gaze grew even stronger. First, a kiss on the cheek. Second… what's next?

Just imagining it made Qian Renxue feel even more excited than her recent soul power breakthrough.

After leaving the Spirit Hall, Dai Mubai made his way toward Blue Tyrant Academy. On the way, he changed his appearance a few times before arriving at the academy's entrance.

"Huh? The dean has already taken over the nest in just a few days?"

Indeed, Blue Tyrant Academy was no longer Blue Tyrant Academy—it was now Shrek Academy.

Since Dai Mubai hadn't been here when Flender and the others arrived, he didn't know what exactly had transpired. Besides a minor situation with Yu Xiaogang, nothing else had really happened.

Without going to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, there had been no conflict with Xue Beng, and as for Dugu Bo, he was currently bringing Dugu Yan back to the academy.

"Who goes there!"

A guard clad in iron armor and holding a long spear shouted at Dai Mubai. Though his face was obscured by the armor, his sharp gaze was evident.

"I'm Dai Mubai, a student of the original Shrek Academy. If you don't believe me, you can call for a teacher to confirm."

Before the guard could say anything, a short but burly figure emerged from the academy.

It was none other than Zhao Wuji, who instantly recognized Dai Mubai.

"Xiao Bai, you're back already!"

Beaming, Zhao Wuji approached Dai Mubai and gave him a hearty pat on the shoulder.

The guard, now understanding the situation, backed off. The new dean had informed them that a student named Dai Mubai would return soon, and they were to let him in without issue.

"Apologies for the misunderstanding."

Dai Mubai waved it off indifferently, signaling that he didn't mind. He then turned to Zhao Wuji.

"Now that I've finished what I set out to do, I naturally returned. Old Zhao, where were you headed?"

Zhao Wuji, who had been about to go out for a drink, scratched his head sheepishly. "Haha, nowhere important… nowhere important…"

"Well then, let's head inside. I have something to discuss with you and Dean Flender."

Zhao Wuji was a little surprised—what could Dai Mubai need to discuss that involved both him and Flender? Though puzzled, he didn't ask further.

He led Dai Mubai to a vacant conference room before heading off to fetch Flender, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu.

Before long, Flender and the three girls arrived in the conference room.

"Dai Mubai, you…"

Flender looked at Dai Mubai with a hint of confusion, as if unable to gauge his current spirit power.

"Uh…"

Scratching his head awkwardly, Dai Mubai adjusted his displayed spirit power to appear at level 44—around a typical Spirit Ancestor level.

Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged glances before rolling their eyes. "Do you take us for fools?"

Clearly, Dai Mubai's trip had yielded extraordinary results. As for how he managed to hide his spirit power, neither Flender nor Zhao Wuji pressed for details.

The three girls, on the other hand, were visibly happy to see him. Yet, with "outsiders" present, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu refrained from expressing their excitement too openly.

"Long story short, during this trip, I obtained several celestial herbs that can greatly enhance spirit power and martial spirits. However, this is a serious matter. Once you receive the herbs, you must keep this to yourselves—don't ask, don't talk, and pretend you know nothing.

"If even a hint of this leaks, I may end up being hunted by Titled Douluo…"

As Dai Mubai spoke, his gaze briefly lingered on Ning Rongrong, the only one he felt might "sell him out."

However, he quickly looked away. If Ning Rongrong truly betrayed him, so be it—at that point, their fate would simply be severed.

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked, looking at Dai Mubai with disbelief. In just a few words, he had revealed the enormous risk he had taken. To be hunted by a Titled Douluo—such a scenario was utterly terrifying!

"Xiao Bai, maybe Flender and I should leave first?"

Zhao Wuji suggested thoughtfully. Some things were better left unheard for Dai Mubai's sake. The less they knew, the lower the risk of exposure.

"Yes, Mubai, we're already old. Using such celestial herbs on us would be a waste."

Flender nodded in agreement with Zhao Wuji's suggestion.

"Dean, Old Zhao, do you think you would betray me?"

"Brat, what kind of nonsense is that! How could Old Zhao ever betray you?!"

Flender didn't speak, but his expression was resolute. He owed Dai Mubai a massive favor, and to repay that debt, he would willingly risk his life. There was no way he'd betray him.

"Well then, that's settled. These items are meant to improve strength—it's as simple as that. Besides, after using them, you might both break through to the Spirit Douluo level, and wouldn't that help protect us better?"

Dai Mubai's sincere words left Flender and Zhao Wuji with no room to refuse.

Spirit Douluo…

Such an achievement would be an enormous favor to both of them.

"Alright! Then we won't stand on ceremony. As for where you got these herbs—don't tell us. We know nothing."

Flender adjusted his glasses and spoke softly, while Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement.

As for the three girls, they were still a little stunned. The danger Dai Mubai had faced—risking being hunted by Titled Douluo—left them speechless.

Dai Mubai nodded and got straight to work, starting with Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhuqing, this is the Water Immortal Jade Bone…"

Originally, Dai Mubai had intended to give Zhu Zhuqing the Yearning Heartbroken Red, but that herb had another crucial purpose. Without it, Xiao Wu's life would remain at constant risk.

For now, he gave Zhu Zhuqing the Water Immortal Jade Bone, planning to supplement it later with a suitable spirit bone.

"Alright."

Zhu Zhuqing quietly accepted the herb and walked to the adjacent conference room to absorb it.

"Ning Rongrong, this is the Strange Velvet Tulip. Not only will it significantly boost your spirit power, but it will also address the shortcomings of your martial spirit, allowing your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda…"

"What?!!"

Ning Rongrong was utterly dumbfounded.
