Chapter 65 Wu Ku is going to Helan Mountain
Wu Ku, that's his name. Su Ming had never met him, but he had seen him on many online platforms.
It is said that Wu Ku was a reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Many famous monks were saved by Wu Ku. In the ancient capital, Wu Ku was very famous and was sung about as a myth.
The arrival of such a person at the ancient capital's academy naturally caused a stir.
Su Ming looked over and saw a bald monk with a constant smile on his face. As he walked towards them, the air around them felt noticeably more humid.
Is this Wu Ku?
Wu Ku walked up to Su Ming and said with a smile, "Hello."
"Hello." Out of politeness, Su Ming replied, unsure of what Wu Ku intended to do by approaching him, and waited for what he would say next.
"Su Ming... is that his name?"
Su Ming's expression was strange. He nodded. How could he be so famous? Su Ming was certain that he had never met Wu Ku, but the man had come directly to him. It was strange.
Moreover, Wu Ku's aura was unpleasant to be around, but the others seemed to be the same.
I guess it was just my imagination.
"Su Ming, would you like to come with me for a walk?"
For some reason, Su Ming did not refuse Wu Ku's request and followed behind him.
As Wu Ku led Su Ming along the road of the Ancient Capital Academy, he quickly left the onlookers behind, making it seem as if he were the one who belonged to the Ancient Capital Academy, while Su Ming was more like an outsider.
When only the two of them remained, Wu Ku spoke up: "Su Ming, I have a request. If you're going to Helan Mountain, could you take me with you?"
"You're asking for Helan Mountain?" Su Ming's expression turned strange.
Why did Wu Ku go to Helan Mountain? He and Brother Lü had just decided to go to Helan Mountain not long ago in order to find the legendary totem and obtain the power of the totem to improve their cultivation. How did Wu Ku know this?
This made me feel like I was being spied on. I had just made a decision when someone came knocking on my door. The worst part was that this person was none other than the famous Wu Ku, or Wu Pusa.
Wu Ku continued, "I know you're going to Helan Mountain. I met Brother Lü by chance once, and he invited me, but I didn't have time then. Now that I do, I'm planning to go and take a look. Is that alright?"
Green Bro? Everything seems to make sense, yet it also seems not to.
"You're also trying to improve your cultivation with the power of totems? Totem beasts, is that thing called totem power real?" Su Ming asked.
He was never sure if it was true, so he went to Helan Mountain to gamble more, betting that the totem beast really existed.
Wu Kusa smiled and said, "Of course, totem beasts used to rule the land in ancient times. They were our guardians before humans had magic. Humans worshipped totem beasts, and totem beasts protected humans. After humans rose to power, totem beasts gradually disappeared from public view."
"Most human magic is derived from totem beasts. Totem power is the best for improving cultivation, and any normal person would be tempted by it."
"What level of magic are you at now?" Su Ming did not refuse.
There was already a shortage of people, and the fact that Wu Ku was praised showed that he was quite capable and had such a good reputation. If he really wanted to go, Su Ming would be quite welcoming. It didn't matter who he asked, there was no reason not to let Wu Ku pass.
"I specialize in water element, and I'm at the second level of the intermediate stage. I haven't awakened a second element yet."
There's no second system? Wu Ku shouldn't be short of money. Even with all the good deeds he's done, the authorities haven't given him a free awakening.
However, it's only Wu Ku's secret; it's very bad to pry into other people's secrets.
"I have no objection. If you want to go, contact Brother Green and set off in the next few days," Su Ming replied.
"Okay." Wu Ku nodded, then started to leave.
Looking at his back, Su Ming felt that he was well-behaved, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
Is this the mystery and unpredictability of a master?
Su Ming shook his head and headed to the boys' dormitory in the new campus. Wu Ku joining the team was an accident, and he still needed to find someone.
Mu Bai was the first choice. Su Ming couldn't be sure if the totem beast really existed, nor could he be sure if Mu Bai would go.
But we still have to ask. Mu Bai is very strong, and having him join us provides an extra layer of security.
After asking the dormitory supervisor, I found out which dormitory room Mu Bai was in, and went over to knock on the door.
"Enter,"
Mu Bai's voice came from inside.
Su Ming pushed open the door and went in. Mu Bai was sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemingly meditating. This was a four-person dormitory, but Mu Bai was the only one there; the others had all gone out to play.
Mu Bai was somewhat surprised to see that the person who came was Su Ming. He hadn't seen him for a while since receiving the reward from the opening ceremony.
Mu Bai wasn't the type to actively seek out people. After the disaster in Bo City, he preferred quiet and spent the last few months meditating in his dormitory, and occasionally going to the outer city wall to kill some undead for training.
When Su Ming came over, Mu Bai knew he had something to ask of him, and he figured he could help him out if necessary.
"What do you need me to do?" Mu Bai asked directly and without even bothering with greetings.
"There's a job I'd like you to take."
Su Ming briefly told Mu Bai about the totem Bifang and their upcoming trip to Helan Mountain.
Mu Bai's expression was somewhat strange after hearing this. He didn't believe in totem beasts, and the idea of totem power seemed even more absurd, but...
Mu Bai had been meditating for quite a while. When he went to kill undead on the outer city wall, he would just stand on the wall and cast a few spells. He rarely went down the wall to fight to the death, so he couldn't improve his actual combat ability much.
Mu Bai wasn't afraid to go down, but he had no one behind him, no one he could trust to back him up. If he fell, he would be finished, and there would be no way he could get back up.
Mu Bai didn't believe Su Ming's claim about the power of totems, but going to Helan Mountain for training might be a good option.
Mu Bai knew Su Ming's strength and trusted him. He wasn't alone; going on training with the team was really a good option.
Mu Bai thought about it for a while and finally agreed: "Okay, I'll make some preparations. Let me know when you're going to come."
"It'll be in the next couple of days. I'll send you a message then." It was good news that Mu Bai had chosen to go. Su Ming didn't stay there for long. After chatting briefly, he left Mu Bai's dormitory.
He also planned to find a few more members, but unfortunately, Su Ming hadn't been at the Ancient Capital Academy for long and didn't know many people.
Su Ming strolled along the road, opened his phone to search for students with good reputations and high abilities on the campus network forum, and prepared to contact them to see if anyone was willing to go.
However, Su Ming didn't have much hope for these people.
"What do you think these people are up to?" someone asked, and Su Ming casually replied:
"Oh, I'm planning to go to Helan Mountain soon, see if anyone wants to team up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming realized, "Who asked this question?"
Looking up, he saw Mu Qianjin standing prettily beside him, so engrossed in her phone that she didn't even notice the person next to her.
The question just now was clearly asked by Mu Qianjin. Mu Qianjin's strength goes without saying, and she also possesses the heaven-defying magic weapon, the Ice Crystal Bow, but we can't drag her into this mess.
Mu Qiannian will kill Su Ming.
Before Mu Qianjin could speak, Su Ming interrupted, "I won't take you out. I'll go to Helan Mountain by myself. You stay here at the Ancient Capital Academy. I don't want to be ripped off by you."
