Chapter 62

"From now on, I'll leave things to you, Li Cheng."

"Anything but that, don't call me Li Cheng."

"Alright, Candidate Li Cheng Big Brother." Xiu Si smiled with curved eyes: "During the trial, I'll definitely stick close to you."

Xiu Si is very happy right now.

Getting Li Cheng is only a small step, but it's a huge step for the Dal Family taking down Full Moon Academy.

He will definitely use this dormitory as his starting point, turn clouds over rain, and plant the Dal Family's flags across the entire Tianming Continent.

He was born for this very thing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been bestowed the Divine Favor Fate 【Morning Sun of Dark Night】 by the Goddess of Order the moment he was born.

Lilith floated nearby, looking at the two heavyweights Li Chenghe and Xiu Si Da Er, unable to resist smacking her lips twice.

In a sense, this dormitory's initial-rising content is quite high.

"Hahaha, Xiu Si, don't worry about the exam, leave it to me."

Just then, a rough voice resounded, the dormitory door opened again, and a golden-haired youth walked in.

Li Cheng looked toward the sound and was amused again.

The newcomer was none other than the character known alongside Xiu Si Da Er as the Born Twins in the PC Game — War God Bade's son, Mu.

His appearance is simply the most standard Paladin: a square, proper guozi face, a pair of incomparably determined large eyes, a suit of Knight Heavy Armor that looks like it needs three or four people to lift, and a broad-bladed Greatsword a full size larger than his body.

This is truly an outstanding Knight seedling — everyone who sees Mu says this.

Of course, that's before they get to know him as a person.

【Rebellious Glory】 — this is Mu's Divine Favor Fate.

As War God Bade's son, Mu inherited his father's strong physique, but completely failed to inherit his father's outstanding combat instincts and excellent body coordination.

On the contrary, this guy turns the wrong way when running.

Even when walking, he might trip on flat ground.

Don't look at him wearing that heavy Battle Armor and carrying a broad-bladed Greatsword and think he's the kind of fierce man who can charge into a crowd and rampage unmatched.

Actually, that armor was specially forged by his father War God Bade so his child wouldn't get beaten to death.

As for why he wears a Greatsword instead of a Shield, that can only be blamed on Mr. War God never having used a Shield in his life...

He regards the Shield as the War God Family's shame! Also, about Mu getting beaten to death...

"Cough cough." Mu Qian dry-coughed twice, dragging his heavy armor forward two steps: "Li Cheng, and Xiu Si Da Er, right?"

"Mm." Xiu Si Da Er nodded in confusion.

Although he knew long ago that War God's Son would be in the same dormitory, he never planned to make a move on him from the start.

No way, War God Bade's reputation is too loud, Xiu Si is also afraid of death.

Li Cheng also silently nodded.

Immediately after, Mu coldly laughed, stiffly lifted his hand, and pointed at his own chest:

"From today on, I'm your Big Brother!"

"You should feel honored to become my little brothers!"

"In the future, all first-year students of Full Moon Academy will become my little brothers."

"And you two are my trusted confidants!"

Xiu Si Da Er: "..."

Li Cheng: "..."

Lilith: "..."

Lilith's mouth corner twitched; she finally understood why Mu wears such thick Battle Armor.

With this chuuni appearance, it'd be a ghost if he didn't get beaten.

"Uh." Xiu Si Da Er came back to his senses, looking at Mu with slight doubt: "That, may I ask, does being your little brother require doing anything?"

Mu coldly laughed: "Hmph, need to ask? Being my little brother naturally means hiding behind me when danger comes."

Xiu Si: "Ah?"

Mu coldly laughed again: "Being my little brother naturally means gratefully using my armor, weapons, money, magic Scrolls, and everything usable."

Xiu Si: "Ah?"

Mu coldly laughed yet again: "Being my little brother naturally means leaving the hardest tasks to me, the toughest enemies for me to deal with!"

Xiu Si: "Ah?" Wait, are you sure you're the boss? Why does it sound more and more wrong? And Mu was already standing with hands behind back, forcefully raising his head that the heavy armor pressed down until he couldn't lift it: "No way, ability greater responsibility greater, a genius born carrying glory like me, from the start, bears everyone's hopes."

"It's not that becoming boss gets everyone's recognition, but those who get everyone's recognition can become boss!"

As his words fell, Xiu Si Da Er froze for a second, then eagerly seized Mu's hand and shook it wildly with joy.

Isn't this exactly the kind of sucker he's longed for all his life?

He was so moved tears were about to fall.

On the other side, Mu was also overjoyed.

He's loved showing off before people all his life, but never found an audience.

Meeting now, truly worthy of old Xiu meeting old Mu, both eyes tearing up.

"Mu Ge, I've drifted half my life, to meet a wise lord; if you don't abandon me, I'm willing to acknowledge you as boss!"

"Xiu Si!"

"Boss!"

"Xiu Si!"

"Boss!"

"Xiu Si!"

"Boss!"

"..."

As they spoke, the two of them gripped each other's hands and began shouting in mutual appreciation.

The louder the two shouted, the more "thump thump thump" banging sounds came from the dormitory's load-bearing wall.

A soft, childish female voice rang out: "What's all the noise, it's late at night, you're not letting people sleep!"

"Cough cough, Mu Da Ren, I feel we should maintain noble elegance, don't you think?" Xiu Si Da Er laughed somewhat embarrassedly.

"Mhm, Xiu Si, you're right, we should maintain noble dignity." Mu nodded, then looked at Li Cheng: "What about you? Telske's last descendant, ah, you're not willing to let me be your boss?"

"I can sponsor you, help you restore your family!"

Li Cheng didn't respond to him, merely raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiu Si: "Just now he acknowledged me as big brother."

"Oh? There's such a thing?" Mu turned his head.

"I never said such a thing." Xiu Si Da Er chose to cut ties at light speed.

Compared to Li Cheng, someone like Mu whose head isn't too sharp is more suitable to be his boss.

"Heh, no matter, all thousand-li horses have fierce tempers." Mu sneered yet again: "I never force anyone to acknowledge me as boss, I'll use my strength to prove that besides me, no one is qualified to be your boss."

"Tomorrow at the qualification test, wait and see."

Having spoken, he strode off with heavy steps toward his bedroom.

Full Moon Academy's entrance exam is divided into three parts: the first round is the qualification test, the second round is the actual combat duel, the third round is the Abyss Secret Realm strategy.

Each round eliminates a portion of examinees until only the elites remain in the end.

And these elites will also be divided into four different academies based on their performance in the exam.

Tomorrow's first round qualification test: one, verify the examinee's Divine Favor Fate and title; two, verify the examinee's own talent and strength; three, verify whether the examinee has established merit in battle against the Abyss.

As the War God's Son, Mu maxes out the first two items.

As for the third item...

Just two months ago, he deliberately followed his father to participate in an Abyss Secret Realm strategy battle, in which he killed 21 First Stage Abyss Cultists.

With such glorious Zhan Fu, it's simply impossible for any examinee to compare with him! Steady?

Steady!

That's right, tomorrow's qualification test is the beginning of Mu displaying his prowess before the world! The beginning of his conquest of Full Moon Academy! And Li Cheng will be the next person to bow beneath his glory!

He will become his second confidant!

War God's confidant!

"Hahaha! Just watch, foolish old dad, I'll prove to you that without your help, I can also become Full Moon Academy's glory! Hahahaha!!"

With a "Bang", his left foot tangled with his right foot, and he tumbled into his own room.

Leaving only Li Cheng and Xiu Si Da Er staring at each other in blank dismay.
