"So what?"

Chapter 75

Shi An, sitting in the passenger seat, was deep in thought.

He couldn't make sense of what had just happened.

It always feels like every step seems to be right, but the ending is not at all what one would expect.

What the hell is going on here?

Shi An waits until the car stops, then pulls herself out of her thoughts.

He realized that he didn't seem to know where they were going or what they were going to do.

"...... Where is this place?" Shi An asked, blinking in confusion.

"Followed right along without knowing where to go?"

Mu Hang swept a downward glance at him, a rare hint of flirtation in his voice: "You're too easily abducted."

Shi An: "......"

Actually, I just got sidetracked for a bit too long!

Shi An raised an eyebrow, arguing, "But isn't that because you're leading the way?"

What bad intentions could a shiny collectible have?

At those words, Mu Hang was stunned, his eyes slightly deepened.

The teenager in front of him was completely unconscious of what he had unintentionally said, completely unaware of how ...... dangerous such an attitude of pure trust and reliance on his part would be.

Mu Hang withdrew his eyes, his voice slightly hoarse, and changed the subject without moving:

"...... Get out of the car."

In front of her was a huge round building, looking somewhat similar to the Wang Clan's training ground Shi An had visited earlier, but much larger and very grand looking.

Zhuo Fu stood in front of the building and waved at them.

"This is the Mu family's private training ground." Zhuo Fu introduced Shi An as he entered, "Don't look at it as high-tech now, but it's actually been around for hundreds of years, and it's just been updated from generation to generation."

"Anyway, I'd like to thank Chief Mu for lending me the grounds, and agreeing to work on my experimental machine here."

Shi An: "Testing machine?"

Zhuo Fu nodded his head and said enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, yes, according to the individual's unique level of magic and magic level can intelligently customize the most suitable training method for the subject, to ensure twice the result with half the effort!"

Shi An turned his head towards Mu Hang.

Mu Hang said, "Wen Yao informed me of what happened last time outside the Abyssal Rift."

He lowered his eyes to Shi An with an inscrutable look, "She said you were strong."

It can be stronger with the right training.

"Fire?"

Shi An didn't know what the other side was trying to do, but just nodded cautiously.

"Good."

Mu Hang faded, as he turned and walked outside the grounds.

Shi An: "?"

A glass wall rises to keep Mu Hang and Zhuo Fu out.

Immediately afterward, not far away, the ground slowly opened up and raised a faceless figure made of machines.

Mu Hang's voice came from overhead, "Try it."

Shi An: "????"

Blah blah blah?

I haven't indicated anything yet, how come I have to start training somehow?

When he realized that Shi An hadn't moved for a long time, Zhuo Fu's voice came:

"It's easy, in short, just attack the dolls with fire spells ......"

Shi An: "......"

It's not like I can't read the flow!

But as it was, Shi An summoned a cluster of flames and threw it at the doll's head.

He didn't use the Dragon Flame.

The strength of the Dragon Flame was too great, it wouldn't be a power that any human could possess, if it was only used externally in battle it would be fine, others would just be able to tell it was strong, but they wouldn't know how strong it was.

But there's no way to muddle through once you're faced with a test instrument.

However, even though he wasn't going to use the Dragon Flame, Shi An, as a giant dragon, was able to explode with more power even if he simply used the fire system.

That's why Shi An has been very careful this time around.

Zhuo Fu : "Well, not bad."

Mu Hang's voice was cold and low, easily overpowering Zhuo Fu's, "That's it?"

Shi An: "......"

...... What kind of tone is this?

Shi An narrowed her eyes slowly.

Someone actually questioned his strength above fire?

Although he still wasn't going to use the Dragon Flame, as a proud dragon, Shi An definitely couldn't hold back his anger!

--seems to be finally getting serious.

Mu Hang withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhuo Fu, "You may continue."

Zhuo Fu froze, "Oh ...... oh!"

He lowered his head and tapped several times on the operating panel.

The floor was open in several corners of the field, and a full eight figures rose from below to surround the teenager.

Shi An raised her hand, and red-gold flames leapt up in her slender palm.

Not Dragon Flame, just a simple fire spell.

In the next second, the meteor-like falling fire exploded in the air with a loud boom, then fell with swift precision, the flames roaring and exploding in the enclosed field, roaring into the sky.

Zhuo Fu's pupils shrunk.

The teenager stood in the center of the flames, his slender figure seemed to be able to be engulfed by the monstrous flames around him, as if he were a dark and stark shadow, wedged hard into the gaudy and flamboyant colors, his white side face was dyed with a layer of golden-red light, and his pitch-black eyes under the long eyelashes were reflecting the leaps of firelight, and he looked to have a dangerous and contradictory temperament.

Mu Hang took a slow step forward.

His eyes fell on the teenager not far away, the color of his eyes illuminated by the firelight into a brilliant blue, the bottom of his eyes flickering with undisguised aggression and violence.

The predatory instincts stirred, tumbled, and screamed.

Subconsciously, he raised his hand and pressed it against the glass.

Desire has never been so clear and strong.

--wanted to yank him down, break his wings, lock him away, become owned by him alone.

Zhuo Fu only then reacted, hastily looking down toward the panel.

Whether it was the strength of the magic or the killing power, the values were all so high that he was stunned, almost unable to believe that this was actually a flame released by a freshly-adulted Ability Academy student.

Shi An looked over in that direction and raised a good-natured, innocent smile:

"Is that enough now?"

Zhuo Fu leaned over to the microphone and stammered a bit:

"Uh ...... very, very good, enough is enough ...... Anyway now you try the training program that the instrument has generated since."

He turned off the speakers and turned his head to look aside at Mu Hang, lamenting with some disorientation:

"What a great talent, absolutely great."

Zhuo Fu recalled the scene just now and couldn't help but smack his lips, "Even becoming a full member of the Administration is more than enough!"

At this moment, Mu Hang had already collected all the emotions that he had just revealed for a moment, he withdrew the palm of his hand that was pressed on the glass, and calmly raised his eyes towards Zhuo Fu, "I want your prototype."

Zhuo Fu : "...... eh?"

Mu Hang: "You name the price."

Zhuo Fu: "......"

It's not a matter of opening or not opening, it's that I don't want to sell!!!!

Mu Hang glanced down at the clock:

"We should go."

"Huh? That's it?"

Zhuo Fu froze, "Do you have anywhere else to go next?"

Mu Hang slung his jacket over the crook of his arm and said coldly, "Ability Academy."

Zhuo Fu tasted it and asked tentatively, "...... Give it away?"

Mu Hang gave a "hmm" and said, "I have a class."

Now Zhuo Fu really surprised.

He knew about Mu Hang becoming an honorary tutor of the Ability Master Academy, but what he didn't expect was that Mu Hang would actually go to class.

Although all the instructors of the Ability Master Academy had course assignments, but with Mu Hang's status, as long as he didn't want to, no one would be able to force him to go, and it was too late for the Ability Master Academy to pull him in, much less trouble him over this matter.

I'm afraid the only thing that could get Mu Hang to volunteer for a class is ......

Zhuo Fu slowly turned his head and looked out the glass.

Zhuo Fu slowly frowned and looked to the side at Mu Hang.

Though he'd poked fun at Mu Hang about it more than once, this time, there was a rare hint of solemnity in his voice:

"It does seem like he's out of the ordinary in your mind."

It ...... might even be more unusual than he thought.

But it was precisely because of this that Zhuo Fu finally abandoned his previous usual flippant attitude, and he hesitated for a moment, saying, "Sir, do you remember what I said to you last time?"

Mu Hang stopped and didn't look back.

The dark and upright back looked extraordinarily calm and cold.

Zhuo Fu took a deep breath, weighed his words, and spoke slowly:

"Although I'm no expert in this area, even so, I can still tell ...... Shi An that his feelings for you, I'm afraid, are not yet ......"

Mu Hang measured his face, his steel-blue, icy eyes hidden under silver-white lashes, as if they were blades of hardened snow.

His voice was indifferent:

"I know."

He seemed to laugh silently, "So what?"

Zhuo Fu: "......"

His mouth was open and he actually didn't know what to say for a moment.

The man in front of him withdrew his gaze and walked out the door at a steady pace.

Zhuo Fu was left standing in the same place.

It was a long time before Zhuo Fu came back to his senses, and he slowly turned his head and looked out the glass.

Only the tall, silver-haired man was seen walking towards the teenager in the middle of the field.

He lowered his head and said something to Shi An with downcast eyes, then lifted his hand and leaned down to gently brush a smudge of dust and smoke from the other man's cheek with his fingertips, withdrawing his hand without a trace before the other man felt uneasy.

The teenager seemed to have long been accustomed to such intimate behavior from the other.

He tilted his face up and smiled ignorantly at the man in front of him, completely unaware of how intimate it was.

Zhuo Fu: "......"

He and Mu Hang have known each other for a long time, not only in Administration, but also privately between their families.

It can be said that he and Mu Hang are not just co-workers, but can even be called friends.

In the eyes of outsiders, Mu Hang pays little attention to the outside world and does not have excessive material desires, is rigorous and focused, extremely efficient in battle, has no eyes to see, is cold and self-possessed, and is almost a perfect idol with no flaws, the flawless facade of the Administration, and the No. 1 strongest man that everyone respects and fears.

But no one knows the nature of this man better than Zhuo Fu.

Underneath that aloof, almost divine exterior is paranoia, danger, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get what you want.

Zhuo Fu looked at the backs of the two and could not help but smack his lips.

Due to his superb research talent and his family, he has always been fearless, and the only person he is afraid of offending is Mu Hang.

But actually actually ......

What's worse than offending Mu Hang is being thought of by Mu Hang.

Though it is said that the one who moves first is the loser.

But that doesn't apply to Mu Hang.

He was a calm madman, a perfect hunter.

From the moment he identifies his target, all the rules that were once in place no longer apply in his presence, and all the moral standards that should be observed give way to the prey itself.

Once, Mu Hang's only prey was dragons.

But not anymore.

And now there's an extra Shi An.

He will never stop until he gets his prey, he will plan calmly and thoughtfully, and step by step he will close in on his prey, even if he has to use all his means to make the other person his own.

The word lose doesn't exist for him.
