Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Little Junior Sister, Triple Commendation!
"Teacher Su, is this your sister? Hello, I’m Zhao Meng, a freshman at Shenjiang Martial Arts University!" Zhao Meng released her hand and smiled at Little One.
Seeing such a pure smile, Little One was momentarily taken aback before speaking.
"Hello, my name is Shen Xiaoxiao. Uncle Wolf and I met on the battlefield, we are... comrades!" Little One wanted to emphasize their relationship but finally realized that they could only be considered comrades.
Shen Xiaoxiao?
It was the first time Su Mu learned Little One’s name. He couldn’t help but think that Miaomiao would surely like this name because they are similar.
If Zhao Meng was like a little sister to Su Mu, then Little One was more like a child like his daughter Xiaoyue.
Every time Su Mu saw Little One, he couldn’t help but think of his daughter Xiaoyue, and nothing else.
"Uncle Wolf?" Zhao Meng tilted her head.
Little One felt a bit delighted and couldn’t help feeling a bit proud. She thought she had gained some ground, thinking that Zhao Meng called him Teacher Su, while she called him Uncle Wolf.
It was obvious that her relationship with Uncle Wolf was closer.
At this moment, Little One selectively forgot the real reason she gave Su Mu the nickname Uncle Wolf.
Cough, cough, cough.
At this time, Elder Wang gave Su Mu a look. Before Su Mu could speak, Little One withdrew from the ward by herself, "Uncle Wolf, I’ll wait for you outside."
Su Mu was puzzled; the way Uncle Wolf was called felt somewhat different, making him a bit uneasy.
He closed the door.
Silver radiance flickered in Elder Wang’s eyes, and a faint silver light shield rose, centered on himself. Su Mu guessed this was to isolate sound.
"Su Mu, how’s your comprehension of the breathing technique I taught you?" Elder Wang’s expression turned serious.
"Professor Wang, Su Mu is fortunate not to let down your expectations."
"Hmm, it’s okay if you haven’t started yet; I actually anticipated it. As long as you... What?! Su Mu, what did you say? You’ve started the breathing technique?" Elder Wang had planned to show his grace in front of Zhao Meng but suddenly realized something was amiss.
His expression changed as if he had choked on water. He was about to give Su Mu a year to practice.
"Su Mu, have you really started?"
Listening to the change in Elder Wang’s shocked tone, Su Mu suddenly realized something and decided not to mention that he had already achieved minor success with the breathing technique.
"Yes, I owe it to Zhao Meng’s meditation method. With its help, I was lucky enough to start."
After speaking, Su Mu demonstrated three movements, with long and deep breaths. Elder Wang, who practiced the same breathing technique, could see at a glance that Su Mu had indeed started.
This time Elder Wang was truly shocked, his eyes flickering with disbelief.
No, it was just a casual remark about three months.
This kid Su Mu actually took it seriously?
Wang Shuheng prided himself on his martial arts talent. If he hadn’t devoted all his time to inscriptions in his youth, he might have already entered the Seventh Level Grandmaster realm, perhaps even a slight chance to aspire to the Eighth Level Grandmaster.
However, it took him almost a year before he barely started, and this kid managed it in less than three months?
Could it be that this kid suddenly had an epiphany?
Unless Zhao Meng was present, he would’ve wanted to grab Su Mu by the collar and ask him. But for now, he could only feign calmness and not lose face.
Elder Wang glanced secretly and was relieved to see Zhao Meng’s attention focused on Su Mu.
As for the meditation method, he didn’t mind it; he didn’t think any meditation method could have such extraordinary effects.
"Hmm, Su Mu, you’ve done well. You managed to start the breathing technique within three months, passing my Wang Shuheng’s assessment. Are you willing to become my disciple?"
"If you are willing, just bow and call me teacher; there’s no need for any other formalities, I don’t care for such trappings."
"Su Mu is willing, Teacher!" Su Mu bowed, speaking from the heart with respect.
"Great, from today on, Su Mu, you are my first disciple, Wang Shuheng said and impatiently opened his mouth again, "And you, Zhao Meng?"
Hmm?!
At this moment, Su Mu understood, realizing that the teacher’s real intent was Zhao Meng.
"Teacher!"
"Ah, good, good, good, Zhao Meng, from now on you are my second disciple," Wang Shuheng said with a smile, repeating "good" three times happily.
"From now on, you are senior and junior siblings. Su Mu, you are the senior brother, and Zhao Meng is the little junior sister."
Su Mu understood. No wonder the teacher directly asked about his progress with the breathing technique. If he hadn’t started, Zhao Meng probably wouldn’t be his little junior sister but the senior sister instead.
"Come, both of you, here is a little gift I’ve prepared for you. Elder Wang took out two silver rings from under the pillow.
One ring was shaped like a small hammer, the other like a brush.
The hammer was for Su Mu, and the brush was for Zhao Meng. Su Mu immediately guessed something.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Zhao Meng found the ring exquisite and put it on directly, but when Su Mu held it, he knew the gift’s value; it was a space ring!
"These two are space rings. Su Mu, yours is inscribed with special inscriptions and can be activated with Qi and blood. There’s some little extra inside, but you can check it later."
Hearing that it was a space ring, Zhao Meng was initially startled, then her expression changed, "Teacher, this is too valuable, I can’t accept it."
"Something I, Wang Shuheng, give out never gets returned."
After chatting with the three disciples for a while, they learned that Zhao Meng fainted out of concern for herself and later accidentally awakened her spiritual power talent, Su Mu was touched again.
At the same time, he suddenly understood why Zhao Meng was the only one who could initially perceive his breathing technique; it turned out Zhao Meng had spiritual talents.
Judging by the teacher’s fondness for Zhao Meng, he guessed that Zhao Meng’s spiritual power talent was quite high. This was a win-win situation, and the teacher had found a true successor.
At this moment, Elder Wang mentioned, "Su Mu, after you entered the battlefield, your family called several times, you should your safety to them."
"Alright, thank you, Teacher, for informing me."
After sending Su Mu away, Elder Wang continued chatting with Zhao Meng cheerfully.
As Su Mu stepped out of the ward, Little One, who was sitting on the chair, immediately stood up. Su Mu thought he’d better settle Little One first.
"Little One, I’ll book you a hotel now; Zhou Yuan needs a few more days to handle things."
But Su Mu soon found out that all the hotels near the university were closed, mostly due to the Alien Race Battlefield.
"Let’s do this, I’ll go find Zhao Meng later, you girls living together will be more convenient, and she can also help you get familiar with the campus."
After quickly making arrangements for Little One, when Su Mu returned to his dormitory, it was already late at night. Miaomiao and Xiaoyue must be asleep, he’ll call them tomorrow.
"Or maybe I should make a call now?"
Su Mu tried dialing the phone, thinking if no one answered within five seconds, he would hang up.
The phone barely rang before it was answered.
"Su Mu, is that you? The school director said you were busy forging weapons in the Forging Room, but I didn’t know you knew how to forge weapons... Also, I heard there seems to be some change at the Alien Race Battlefield... Are you really okay now? Don’t lie to me!"
Su Mu quietly listened to the voice on the other end, finally feeling relieved and at peace.
"Miaomiao, don’t worry, I’m fine. Everything’s over now; once the martial exam is over, it’ll be a few days until summer break, and I can go home soon."
"Alright, Little Moon and I will be waiting for you at home."
After the call ended, Su Mu felt his tension release entirely. Exhaustion hit him like a wave, and he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the sound of knocking woke Su Mu up.
He opened the door to find people from the school, Martial Arts Association, and Corps, along with a group of students from Martial University, creating quite a lively scene.
"Su Mu, in recognition of your courageous acts of facing death fearlessly and counterattacking in the Alien Race Battlefield, Shenjiang Martial Arts University, Shenjiang City Martial Artists Association, and the 1955 Corps have jointly decided to bestow the following honors on you."
"Teacher Su, on behalf of Shenjiang Martial Arts University, I bestow upon you the title of Advanced Lecturer in the Forging Academy, along with the privilege of choosing any Martial Arts Classic from the Musashi Hall, including the fifth floor, wishing you continued diligence and progress."
"Comrade Su, on behalf of the 1955 Corps, I award you fifty thousand battlefield points and the Sergeant rank in the 1955 Corps, granting you all the privileges of a sergeant from this moment."
"Teacher Su, on behalf of the Shenjiang City Martial Artists Association, I grant you honorary membership, allowing you to enjoy the next ">
"You are welcome to visit the association anytime for level certification, wishing you prosperity in martial arts."
With the joint recognition from the school, the Martial Arts Association, and the Corps,
the atmosphere outside the dormitory was filled with excitement, with students amazed and envious!
