Mu Nujiao turned around, blushing, and glared at Ai Tutu who had given him the rotten idea . She snapped furiously, “Stop talking rubbish, who would want someone like him who only know how to stir up troubles? It would be a relief if he didn’t ruin our clan’s reputation . ”

Ai Tutu quickly leaned closer to Mo Fan when she saw Mu Nujiao trying to justify herself . She whispered with an evil grin, “Demon king, did you notice? Since you’ve come back alive, Sister Mu has been deriding and giving you lots of caustic remarks . I’ve never seen her treat any man like this . If she didn’t actually hate you, she must have fallen in love with you . I did mention the Mu Clan’s son-in-law, but I never said she would be marrying you . The Mu Clan has many daughters . ”

Mo Fan quickly nodded after hearing Ai Tutu’s explanation .

Mu Nujiao blushed even more . She never thought the two would collude to set her up . She turned around, not willing to speak to them, while trying to escape from the awkward situation .

“Well, I guess your sacrifice to save her life is working pretty well,” said Ai Tutu .

Mo Fan nodded heavily, before asking with a stern look, “If I’m going to marry her to become their son-in-law, I’ll go even if they aren’t offering me any equipment . ”

Ai Tutu rolled her eyes at him and rebuked, “In your dreams! . With Sister Mu’s value, their clan would surely want a young Advanced Magician, who also needs to have a high chance of achieving the Super Level . An Intermediate Magician like you, who doesn’t even have a formidable background, could only marry with an uglier, and less important daughter from one of their side families . Besides, to marry the daughter of a renowned clan, you probably need to fill this room up with high-quality equipment . There’s no way they would give you equipment!”

“So what you’re implying is that even if I were to join a renowned clan, I will most likely end up as a butler, who has to obey the commands of their pampered sons and daughters . Sigh, such an evil class society . Why don’t they look at our wholehearted love toward one another? Why can’t they let go of their feudalism for once?” exclaimed Mo Fan as he raised his head .

Ai Tutu burst out laughing while hugging her stomach when she heard this .

Mu Nujiao, who was on the balcony, could not stay any longer . She initially thought Mo Fan would reflect upon himself when discussing such a serious topic, as it would serve as a great blow to his dignity, yet he was as shameless as usual .

Who the hell loved him wholeheartedly?

Mu Nujiao quickly went back to her room, to avoid falling into their hands again .

That Ai Tutu deserved a beating . When they agreed to rent the place together, she had promised that they would stand against the smug demon king together, yet she had been colluding with him . Lately, her eyes would glisten whenever she heard news related to the demon king .

At this rate, maybe her Ai Clan would take the initiative to recruit him as their son-in-law!

As the date of the challenges approached, Mo Fan had spent most of his time cultivating to prepare for the battles . He did not even have extra time to get his armor sorted out . Whenever he went for a meal, he would see people taking pictures of him with their phones, before muttering something like “We shall catch the Fire School’s Zhao Ritian alive!” under their breaths .

{TL Note: Zhao Ritian is a meme figure from a parody song, “My name is Zhao Ritian” . It’s quite complicated to explain the origin, but basically, just think of someone who has done lots of evil deeds . }

Mo Fan was now referred to as the Fire School’s Zhao Ritian . The whole school was well aware of his arrogance and scornful attitude .

His rate of becoming famous totally outmatched the attention seekers who desired their names to be listed on the school’s leaderboard .

However, Mo Fan was the first to disagree!

Which idiot gave him such a weak nickname!

Wait and see, in less than a month, the students of Pearl Institute would know that the infamous demon king had returned!

——

Afternoon, Mo Fan had just come back from the training ground .

The training ground was fairly helpful . Not only did it provide targets that moved on their own for the students to train their accuracy, it also had a small magic platform in the corner, where the students could replenish their energy quickly .

The replenishment of energy required a significant amount of time, yet it would deplete fairly quickly when the students were practicing their Spells . Therefore, the magic platform provided at the training ground greatly boosted the students’ efficiency .

That being said, the training ground was only open to the top three hundred students . The others were only permitted to use the ordinary training grounds . Those who were ranked even lower could not use the training grounds with moving targets .

The special facilities were only available to those ranked highly on the leaderboard . Those ranked lower had no choice but to keep on challenging the students that were stronger if they were eager to have more resources and access to facilities .

After training at the school for the past few days, Mo Fan finally understood why those with low ranks were so keen to challenge him . Leaving the resources aside, even the access to the different facilities was tied to the students’ ranking, too .

Mo Fan began to feel a headache again as soon as he left the training ground . He had learned how useful the hundredth rank was to him, thus he was reluctant to give it up . However, too many people were trying to challenge him . His energy alone was nowhere sufficient to last until he finished all the challenges . How could he possibly keep his ranking?

While walking on the street, a fairly weak-looking male student bumped into his chest around a corner .

“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to,” said the weak-looking student .

Mo Fan was confused . He was actually at fault since he was too immersed in his thoughts, but the person kept on apologizing . Mo Fan subconsciously assumed the student to be timid .

“Aren’t you Zheng Jiahui?” Mo Fan recognized the student with the lowest rank .

Zheng Jiahui raised his head and saw the infamous Mo Fan . His face immediately turned pale, who responded with a stammering voice, “Why… why is it… you . . . I… I should stay away from you . ”

Mo Fan’s eyes glistened when he saw Zheng Jiahui . He quickly grabbed his hand and smilingly said, “What are you afraid of? They are already looking down on you . You’re no different than me, the public enemy of the whole element . ”

“I know that the trash you were describing was me . I…I admit that I’m the weakest, but…but I don’t dare to offend the teacher or challenge the students,” said Zheng Jiahui in a soft tone .

Mo Fan patted heavily on the kid’s back and said, “So do you want to stop yourselves from ranking last? I do agree that it’s quite humiliating . ”

“Forget it, I’ve been the last for half a year . Once I finish this year, I’ll leave Pearl Institute,” said Zheng Jiahui .

“Don’t give up on yourself, help me with a favor, and not only I will guarantee you resources that you could ever dream of, I’ll also help you to get out of the last rank . As a reward, I’ll also lend you the Nebula Tool that is given to the hundredth rank, how’s that?” said Mo Fan with gleaming eyes .

When he saw the last ranked of the Fire School, Zheng Jiahui, he immediately came up with an idea .
