Ch 106
Chapter 106: Level 8 Qualification
When Mu Chen entered through the gate of Duobao Pavilion, the eyes of many people in the pavilion fell on Mu Chen.
As the fire talisman continued to sell well, Mu Chen's reputation also grew increasingly popular. With so many jealous, admiring, and envious people, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Yan Wu happened to be in the Duobao Pavilion. When he saw Mu Chen enter through the door, he couldn't help but look Mu Chen up and down. With just one glance, Yan Wu's eyes twitched slightly:
"You... you… have advanced to a nine-star martial artist."
Mu Chen nodded and said with a smile,
"It was just a coincidence."
Yan Wu said disapprovingly,
"If you were promoted, then you were promoted. There's no such thing as coincidence."
Mu Chen lowered his head, smiled, and didn't respond.
Yan Wu looked at Mu Chen, and there was a strange gleam in his eyes. Mu Chen had learned alchemy, talisman crafting, and inscription making. Many people thought this guy was too greedy and wouldn't achieve anything in the future…
However, the fact was: although Mu Chen had studied so many skills, his cultivation was extremely strong—so strong that even those geniuses with eighth-level aptitudes were left behind after just a few short quarters.
Nine-star martial artists—Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi were only five-star martial artists. How did this freak train? Even after studying so many complicated things, his cultivation speed hadn't slowed down at all.
Yan Wu looked at Mu Chen and suddenly said:
"Mu Chen, are you sure your aptitude is level six?"
"This is the result of the test," Mu Chen said with a slight smile.
Yan Wu shook his head and said:
"No, no, there must be something wrong with your aptitude test. Let's take it again."
Mu Chen frowned and said:
"Sir, isn't that inappropriate?"
"If it's wrong, then it's wrong with your aptitude," Yan Wu said as he grabbed Mu Chen's arm and dragged him away.
Song Xinyue watched Mu Chen being dragged by Yan Wu, rolled her eyes helplessly, and said angrily:
"Master Yan is too impulsive. The academy's aptitude test has never made a mistake. No matter how good Mu Chen is, he only has level six aptitude. That's something Ye Shi can't change."
Xin Ruge said disapprovingly,
"That's not necessarily true. Based on Mu Chen's current performance, he doesn't seem like someone with just a sixth-level aptitude."
Song Xinyue curled her lips and said:
"No matter how different it looks, he's still someone with a sixth-level aptitude."
"Even though there haven't been mistakes in the academy's test, that doesn't mean there never will be. I think Mu Chen's aptitude test must've been wrong," Xin Ruge said jokingly.
Song Xinyue rolled her eyes and said:
"You really know how to think wildly."
"I'm not the only one who thinks that way," Yan Wu said disapprovingly.
"But..." Mu Chen frowned, looking hesitant.
Yan Wu rolled his eyes and said angrily,
"Fine, I brought everything out, I'll let you test, and now you don't want to test? What nonsense."
Mu Chen smiled helplessly, took a step forward, and pressed his hand on the tester. In an instant, halos of light shot up into the sky, and the eight-colored lights dazzled everyone's eyes.
"Impossible," Song Xinyue said in disbelief.
Xin Ruge's eyes widened, filled with disbelief:
"How can this be? Mu Chen really has level eight aptitude. Someone with level eight aptitude doing so many things at once…"
Yan Wu looked at Mu Chen and murmured,
"I knew it, I knew it."
Mu Chen looked at Yan Wu's expression and slowly withdrew his hand.
"You tested level six aptitude that day?" Yan Wu looked at Mu Chen and asked suspiciously.
"I had just completed a promotion that day, but there was a mistake during the promotion. Maybe my physical condition was unstable," Mu Chen said with a soft smile.
Yan Wu nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Is that so? That explains why your aptitude test result was wrong."
The news that Mu Chen had level eight aptitude spread quickly throughout Sacred Star Academy.

Uncle Ming had a bitter look on his face and couldn't stop sighing.
Lu Han looked at the name of the uncle and said angrily:
"Alright, stop sighing! You've been sighing for two hours."
Hearing his sighs one after another, it made others want to sigh too… He wanted to sigh!
Uncle Ming lifted his head, looked at Lu Han in shock, and said,
"Dean, Mu Chen has level eight aptitude!"
"Okay, okay, I know Mu Chen has level eight aptitude, you've said it so many times already. Enough!" Lu Han said angrily.
Uncle Ming still had a bitter face and said:
"Such an apprentice with level eight aptitude and such outstanding talent in alchemy—I lost him."
"In the academy's cafeteria."
"It turns out Mu Chen has level eight aptitude. No wonder his cultivation speed is so fast."
"Yes! I said it couldn't be possible that someone with level six aptitude could progress so well."
"He's a nine-star martial artist. Only Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi are left behind now. They are five-star martial artists."
"He subdued the strange fire, so of course his cultivation will grow even faster."
"The academy's aptitude test definitely made a mistake. I don't know if I also had a mistake in mine." A girl murmured.
"Yes, there must've been an error. How could you be level five? You probably don't even have level three aptitude," another girl laughed and said.
"Senior Sister, you're bullying me!"
Hearing the people around discussing, Lan Ruofeng felt his heart sink. Ever since Mu Chen revealed his talents in alchemy, talismans, and inscriptions, the only thing Lan Ruofeng thought he could beat Mu Chen in—aptitude—was now surpassed too.
Mu Chen said he had made a mistake in the aptitude test due to physical instability, which clearly showed something had gone wrong during the test.
Lan Ruofeng sneered. In his view, Mu Chen's words could only deceive those naive students who were not experienced in the world. He believed Mu Chen must have obtained something from Ye Shi to improve his aptitude, which allowed him to raise it to level eight.
