Mu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Feng announced the remedy, that this assessment would not count towards the five failures that would result in expulsion from the sect.
If he had ruined so many "Wen Rous" due to his lack of attention to detail, he really would have felt extremely guilty and uneasy.
"Ah!! Why is this happening? I'm so angry! Who's going to compensate for my teeth?!"
"You, what did you just recklessly throw? You got me beaten up like this, I would have been better off not fighting for it!"
Seeing the Outer Sect Disciples who had been beaten half to death but had successfully snatched a token, now trembling all over, gnashing their teeth in fury as they glared at him as if they wanted to devour him, Mu Jinyu couldn't help feeling even more remorseful.
The injuries of these people were undeniably related to him; he really wanted to go over and use Life Source Energy to treat their wounds.
However, considering the risks such an action would bring, he eventually managed to restrain himself.
He did not go over to help them.
'At most, they'll lie in bed for a few months to half a year, and the injuries will heal. Better leave it at that.'
'No, I can't just ignore them like this; it would weigh on my conscience!'
Mu Jinyu was incredibly conflicted, but finally, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
At the same time, he shouted, "You macaque!"
As he spoke, he unleashed the "Great Freedom Sky Eye Sword Qi" and conjured up wooden rulers, delivering three fierce strikes to the buttocks of each severely injured Outer Sect Disciple on the scene!
"Smack! Smack! Smack!"
The sound was extremely crisp and pleasant, causing everyone's cheeks to twitch along with the noise.
Those few whose buttocks had just been attacked and were already not lightly injured, now with Mu Jinyu's three strikes from the wooden ruler, immediately became even more miserable.
Literally blossoming buttocks!
"Damn it, what are you going crazy for now?!"
"Wow, it's killing me, my butt hurts so much!"
"..."
The Outer Sect Disciples, who were being smacked by Mu Jinyu's wooden rulers, were crying out loud, tears and snot running down their faces.
After they regained their senses, they no longer dared to shout anything at Mu Jinyu.
They all remembered that Mu Jinyu's strength was not inferior to the three great Outer Gate experts like Wu Lei, and he was a talented individual valued by the Sect Leader. How could they belittle him at will?
Thus, they all shut their mouths and gave Mu Jinyu several resentful glances, then dared not even look at him anymore!
They were terrified of having their buttocks "blossom" again!
Seeing Mu Jinyu's actions, Lin Feng's face darkened, and he helplessly said, "Come here, stop bullying people over there!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu walked towards Lin Feng while recalling the reactions of the Outer Sect Disciples, thinking to himself, 'Sigh, their reactions are a bit off, I wonder if they have seen "Journey to the West".'
'If they haven't seen it, then there's nothing to be done. It only means they don't have that fortune. They'll just have to lie in bed for a few months to half a year, and they can't blame me for that, can they?'
Soon, Mu Jinyu arrived by Lin Feng's side.
Lin Feng looked at Mu Jinyu with a mix of irritation and amusement, saying, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting them again?"
Mu Jinyu shook his head and replied, "I was helping them, but it seems they don't understand and are ungrateful, so let it be."
Lin Feng sighed, "For now, just stay by my side and stop causing trouble over there."
Mu Jinyu nodded indifferently, "Alright then."
Elder Cheng looked at Mu Jinyu with a strange expression and after he settled down, he looked up at Lin Feng and said, "Elder Lin, I guess I've won, haven't I? Hand over the bet."
He thought, since Mu Jinyu was right there, giving him the bet on the spot should gain him some favor.
When Lin Feng heard Elder Cheng's words, he glanced at Mu Jinyu, shook his head in refusal, and said, "No, although you did win, I can't give it to you now. After all, there's still the Outer Gate competition coming up, and it wouldn't be fair to the others if he took the Sacred Wood Branch now."
"Alright then," Elder Cheng said upon hearing this. He found the reason to be sound, so he nodded and said, "Then give me the Sacred Wood Branch after it's over."
Mu Jinyu listened to their conversation without any expression on his face.
But in his heart, he was muttering, 'Listening to their conversation, why does it feel like they're using me for a bet?'
'And, what did Elder Lin mean by that statement? Is he planning to give me something nice, which would make the upcoming Outer Gate competition even more unfair?'
'Sacred Wood Branch, what is that?'
Mu Jinyu was somewhat puzzled, but he also knew his place, so he chose not to ask them about it.
Time slowly passed.
Because Mu Jinyu had taken thirty-six Pass Tokens in the selection channel, only fourteen were left inside. Thus, more and more people were unable to find any tokens, and after hearing from others that a Madman had already taken all the tokens earlier and had run off after being chased by a group, they could only helplessly exit the selection channel.
These disciples came out of the selection channel one after another and after confirming again from their seniors that Mu Jinyu indeed had taken thirty-six tokens and even randomly distributed them to incite infighting among them, and after the infighting, Mu Jinyu had even beaten them up and other such news, they looked at Mu Jinyu with eyes full of wariness and oddness.
This new talent with a Spirit Root from the Heavenly Sword Faction seemed to have a peculiar nature, playing such tricks on them. It would be wise to avoid contact with him in the future.
Seeing their strange looks, Mu Jinyu felt helpless. He wanted to explain but was afraid he might make things worse and inadvertently reveal his Life Source Energy, so he opted to stay silent.
At that moment, a graceful figure of Jian Ruyan emerged from the entrance of the selection channel, drawing the attention of everyone.
Then, another scene that shocked the crowd occurred.
A group of people came running out after Jian Ruyan, shouting with cries of attack!
"Leave the Pass Tokens behind!"
"Despicable woman, you actually took so many all for yourself, how shameless!"
"..."
The many Outer Sect Disciples on the Outer Gate Plaza, including Lin Feng and Elder Cheng, looked at Mu Jinyu with strange expressions again after hearing these shouts pursuing Jian Ruyan.
Goodness, she truly is his sister; the siblings actually did the same thing in the selection channel.
One took thirty-six Pass Tokens and the other more than ten, hardly leaving any chance for others!
No wonder the hundreds of them couldn't find a single token in there!
It turns out they nearly monopolized all the tokens!
Lin Feng shook his head speechlessly, then calmed down the disciples chasing Jian Ruyan and informed them of the decision he had made with Elder Cheng just a moment ago.
Jian Ruyan came over to Mu Jinyu and after listening to Lin Feng's words, she complained faintly, "So it was you causing mischief. I heard in there that someone had taken several Pass Tokens, and I thought getting more would earn extra points, so I also took some extra tokens. It turns out to have been a waste of effort!"
