Chapter 55: Mind Element Sufferer

……

"Stop, stop, stop!"

After Lv Cheng's all-out, frantic bombardment had continued for half an hour, Dean Xiao couldn't help but interrupt.

"What is going on with your Magic Energy?" Dean Xiao's eye twitched wildly.

No, seriously, you kept your Domain open and spammed ultimate moves for half an hour straight?

Are you even human?

Just now, he felt like he wasn't facing a single Fire Element Mage who had just entered the High-level, but was being relentlessly ganged up on by an entire squad of High-level Fire Mages!

And there was a Mind Element sneak-attacker on the side, constantly provoking his emotions!

"What's wrong?" Lv Cheng asked, puzzled.

"Don't you think your Magic Energy is a bit too much?" Dean Xiao said.

A normal High-level Mage, if they went all-out spamming ultimate moves like Lv Cheng just did, would exhaust their Magic Energy in less than ten minutes, but this kid had been at it for half an hour, and his Magic Energy was still abundant!

"Is it a lot?" Lv Cheng looked confused.

"Of course!" Dean Xiao was speechless.

"Your Magic Energy is at least five times that of a Mage at the same level."

The energy contained within this kid's Fire Element Star River was as ridiculous as a joke!

And the most bizarre part was that it recovered too quickly!

In the short time they had been talking, the Magic Energy Lv Cheng had just consumed was already almost fully recovered!

Could this kid have a recovery-type Magic Tool?

But it shouldn't recover this fast, right?

"Five times?" Lv Cheng nodded.

"It's alright, I've always been this enduring."

"……"

Dean Xiao's eye twitched; he almost lost his composure.

The few male teachers on the sidelines had unnatural expressions, and Leng Qing's expression was even stranger.

Enduring?

Tang Yue is in luck...

……

Dean's office.

"You have passed the assessment for the Special Teacher position, but I must remind you: you are now half a teacher to them, so you must have a sense of proportion during training and cannot act like you did today," Dean Xiao said.

If Lv Cheng were to open his Domain and use ultimate moves like he did today, any Mage below the High-level would instantly turn to ash the moment they stepped into the Domain!

Although Lv Cheng's Fire Element Talent isn't that of a Sufferer, it isn't far off, and this kid's Fire Element Talent is controllable!

"I know," Lv Cheng nodded.

"That's good." Dean Xiao handed the relevant information for the Special Teacher position to Lv Cheng.

"The main job of a Special Teacher is actually to welcome challenges from the academy's students. Additionally, you will take turns providing practical guidance to students of one department each week. If a department has fewer students, you can combine the teaching."

"That's fine..."

"You cannot lump them all together!" Dean Xiao interrupted.

"I know what you want to do. Indeed, with your Fifth Realm Spiritual Power, plus that special Mind Element of yours, even if everyone in the entire academy added together, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from you."

"But your job is practical guidance, not just beating them up and calling it a day."

Lv Cheng's Mind Element is also very strange. Even though their Spiritual Power is far below his, theoretically, this kid's Mind Element Magic shouldn't be able to affect him at all. However, in the test just now, he was almost broken through by this kid!

His mind felt as if it had been forcibly invaded; he couldn't defend against it at all and could only rely on his powerful Spiritual Power to forcibly suppress the sense of Restlessness caused by having his seven emotions and six desires toyed with back and forth.

Even he, a Forbidden Curse Mage at the Ninth Realm, couldn't fully defend against it. This kid's Mind Element Talent is even more special than a Sufferer's.

"Alright," Lv Cheng shrugged.

"Is there anything else?"

Dean Xiao nodded, "There is indeed something I would like to trouble you with."

"Yumian, come in."

The side door of the office opened, and a young girl wearing a Mingzhu Academy uniform walked in.

"Grandpa Xiao." Ding Yumian walked up to greet him, then nodded politely at Lv Cheng.

"You should have already sensed it," Dean Xiao said.

"Yeah," Lv Cheng nodded.

Ding Yumian's Mind Element Magic is extremely unstable; anyone whose Spiritual Power has reached the middle realm can sense the abnormality at close range.

"Actually, even if your practical combat ability weren't enough, I still intended to recruit you into Mingzhu," Dean Xiao said.

"Because of her?" Lv Cheng asked.

Dean Xiao nodded, then shook his head, "Before, when Pang Lai came to the Magic City, he also came to see me, saying he had met a young man who would likely come to Mingzhu Academy. He said he originally intended to take you as his disciple, but you seemed to think his cultivation wasn't high enough, so you refused."

"Uh..." Lv Cheng felt a bit awkward.

"He understands," Dean Xiao said.

"He sensed that your Fire Element and Mind Element were somewhat special and roughly guessed your concerns, so he was certain you would come to Mingzhu Academy."

Although Lv Cheng is not a Sufferer, his talent is nearly identical to one. Once this situation is discovered by the Holy City, it will be very troublesome.

"Are you one too?" Ding Yumian looked at Lv Cheng, puzzled.

Isn't there only one Sufferer per element at any given time?

Dean Xiao shook his head, "He is not a Sufferer, but his Mind Element is even more troublesome than yours."

Being able to manipulate the seven emotions and six desires of others at will—even he felt a bit flustered by this ability.

If a full-cultivation Intermediate Mage with Fifth Realm Spiritual Power could shake him, a Forbidden Curse Mage at the Ninth Realm, what about in the future?

Once this kid reaches the Super Level, or even the Forbidden Curse, and his Spiritual Power reaches the Ninth Realm, what will happen?

Forbidden Curse Mages would likely be nothing but toys in front of him.

"You refused Pang Lai and insisted on coming to Mingzhu; to be honest, I am somewhat moved by this trust you have in me," Dean Xiao said with a smile.

Pang Lai is the Chief of the Imperial Magic Association, and in terms of social influence, even he cannot compare; if Lv Cheng were to follow Pang Lai, he would only need to hide his Mind Element talent and focus on his Summoning Element to avoid any problems.

However, Lv Cheng refused Pang Lai, ran to the Magic City, first established a connection with the Qingtian Hunting Office, and then came running to Mingzhu Academy.

What he is planning is all too obvious.

"I thought you would find me troublesome and kick me out," Lv Cheng said.

Dean Xiao smiled, "I wouldn't dare kick you out."

"If you held a grudge because of that and came back to take revenge on me in the future, that would be troublesome."

"You could also choose to deal with me right now," Lv Cheng said.

Dean Xiao shook his head, "You don't need to test me; as long as you don't do anything heinous, I will not take action against you."

Lv Cheng shrugged, not refuting him.

This was a fact.

If Dean Xiao were like those people in the Holy City, he would not have chosen to hide a Sufferer of the Mind Element like Ding Yumian, who is at risk of losing control at any time, within Mingzhu Academy.

Although with Dean Xiao's Forbidden Curse-level strength, he can steadily control Ding Yumian and prevent any danger even if she loses control, it is still very troublesome.

They are neither related nor friends, yet he is willing to go this far; that is already quite decent of him.

"So, you want me to help her control her Mind Magic?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Yes," Dean Xiao nodded.

"Your Mind Element talent is extremely close to Yumian's Sufferer talent, and yours is controllable, so I hope you can help her in this regard."

Teaching a Sufferer is extremely dangerous and requires a massive investment of time and energy, and he cannot go around telling people that Ding Yumian is a Sufferer; if it were accidentally leaked, the Heretic Judgment Mage Corps of the Holy City would likely arrive the very next day.

Although he has some influence, he can protect her for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Those Heterodox Mages are truly brutal.
