Chapter 56: The Beast-Fighting Competition

……

"Grandpa Xiao, wouldn't this be adding too much trouble for him?"

After Dean Xiao clarified the situation, Lv Cheng very readily agreed to take on the task of looking after Ding Yumian.

Regarding this matter, although Ding Yumian was happy—after all, she also wanted to control her own power well to avoid accidents—she was also clear about how troublesome her Mind Element Magic was. Even Dean Xiao had no way to handle it, and even though Lv Cheng was also a Mind Element Mage, but...

"Rest assured, since he has agreed, he certainly has confidence," Dean Xiao said.

"As for adding trouble... that is not necessarily the case."

Ding Yumian was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"That kid is not some pushover who helps everyone," Dean Xiao laughed.

"If he were unwilling, he would not have agreed."

Ding Yumian's face flushed, "He..."

"Yumian, that kid has a very heavy mind; you must be careful in the future," Dean Xiao's expression turned serious.

A Mind Element Sufferer, once developed, will be a very terrifying power!

Lv Cheng's Mind Element talent, once it grows, will also be extremely difficult to deal with, and he was even a bit unable to grasp the temperament of this kid.

Entrusting Ding Yumian to Lv Cheng was also a huge gamble he was taking.

……

A few more months passed, and the season for new students to start school arrived.

Perhaps because Lv Cheng was serving as a teacher at Mingzhu Academy, or perhaps because of Mu Nujiao, Ye Xinxia also chose to apply to Mingzhu Academy, and did not choose to run off to Hangzhou alone to attend school.

Mo Fan, on the other hand, was the same as originally, choosing to hide his talent and successfully tested into Mingzhu Academy with his newly awakened Summoning Element.

Qing Xiaoqu, orientation day, Doushou Guan.

"If you only want to be a person respected in society... then I can tell you very responsibly, you have come to the wrong place."

On the high platform, Dean Xiao was delivering a speech.

Lv Cheng was standing beside Dean Xiao, serving as a special guest for this opening ceremony.

The work scope of a Special Teacher was the main campus; after all, Qing Xiaoqu mostly consisted of Initial Stage Mages, along with a small number of Intermediate Mages—a group of rookies who couldn't even stably connect a Star Map yet didn't need a High-level Mage as a sparring partner.

"Sister Mu, is that your Brother A-Cheng? So handsome~"

In the audience, sitting beside Mu Nujiao was a cute, busty girl, looking with curiosity at Lv Cheng, who was beside Dean Xiao on the high platform.

"Is he really already High-level? He's even more amazing than my brother," Ai Tutu said.

"He is currently a Special Teacher at Mingzhu Academy," Mu Nujiao shrugged.

"Do you think his High-level cultivation could be fake?"

"Teacher?" Ai Tutu was stunned.

"Hiss! A teacher-student romance? Sister Mu, you play so excitingly!"

Thump!

Mu Nujiao's earlobes turned red, "I'll romance your head!"

Ai Tutu covered her head, looking subtle, "Oh~ a secret underground romance, right? I understand~"

"Understand your head," Mu Nujiao hurriedly covered Ai Tutu's mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense, it will cause him trouble."

"Cause trouble?" Ai Tutu was stunned.

"Why?"

"He..." Mu Nujiao's expression was complex, not knowing how to say it.

Her initial acquaintance with Lv Cheng could be considered an accident, and the subsequent further contact was actually carried out with a task given by her family; she had approached Lv Cheng with a purpose to win over this Summoning Element genius, yet Lv Cheng had truly treated her as a friend, even telling her many secrets.

Therefore, she sometimes really felt a bit guilty...

"……"

Watching Mu Nujiao's struggling appearance, Ai Tutu's super brain quickly imagined a bunch of unrequited love plots.

"Sister Mu, don't worry!" Ai Tutu grabbed Mu Nujiao's hands.

"I will help you!"

"Ah?" Mu Nujiao looked blank.

Help with what?

……

Soon, Dean Xiao's speech concluded successfully, and the Doushou Guan competition officially began.

"Let me say first, for this Doushou Guan competition, friendship first, competition second. Pull your punches, don't kill anyone; I don't have defensive magic."

Lv Cheng, who had been arranged by Dean Xiao to serve as the referee for the Doushou Guan competition, said these two sentences in an extremely perfunctory manner.

He majored in Mind Element, minored in Summoning Element and Fire Element, and now also had a sub-major in Space Element; he didn't have a single defensive magic.

After all, he didn't need any defense.

If these people hit too hard, he would only be able to let Xiaotian come out to act as a meat shield to save people.

"Who are you?" Hai Dafu of the Summoning Element asked suspiciously.

Lv Cheng shook the work badge on his chest, "The referee."

"Referee?" Hai Dafu was stunned, and the students who had just come on stage to challenge also revealed looks of doubt.

A referee? Isn't that a teacher from Mingzhu Academy?

A teacher about the same age as them?

Are you kidding?

"Alright, the competition begins!" Lv Cheng shouted, leaped, and jumped to the edge of the arena.

The corners of the eyes of the students on the field twitched wildly.

No, is the referee really this perfunctory?

But the match had already begun, and Hai Dafu did not hesitate, directly summoning his Summoned Beast to engage in a chaotic battle with the challenging students.

The development of the plot was much the same as the original; Initial Stage Mages find it quite strenuous to face Servant-class demons, and if it were actual combat, few would dare to step onto the stage.

After all, it was a competition, and with teachers standing by ready to intervene and rescue at any time, everyone felt secure; at most, they would only suffer some injuries, but if it were actual combat, if just two people died, few of the rest would dare to step onto the stage.

Finally, after Luo Song finished off the Bone-Eating Demon, Mo Fan took the stage and laid down a harsh ultimatum, declaring he would take away all the resources for this year.

Unsurprisingly, this incited angry curses from the students present.

However, upon seeing Mo Fan's Dark Wolf, few dared to step up.

"Dean Xiao, this is already one hundred and fifty people; are we really going to give him the resources of the entire department?" the Earth Element department head asked with some concern.

"Of course, rules are rules. When the Summoning Element's resources were divided among other departments in the past, I didn't see any of you come out to say anything," Dean Xiao said.

"What, now that it harms your own interests, you can't sit still?"

"Uh..."

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the other department heads, aside from the Summoning Element, became somewhat awkward.

Who could have imagined that someone would actually use the second rule?

"Mo Fan, is it?"

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached a climax, Bai Cangfeng could not help but take the stage.

Resources were a small matter, and he didn't care for such meager resources; the main thing was that here in the Magic City, if a bumpkin slapped the faces of the four great families, how would they be able to show their faces in the future?

"Perhaps offending those students without any background won't do anything to you, but don't forget, this is the Magic City, and there is a large proportion of students from noble families among the freshmen... What the hell?!"

Bai Cangfeng, who hadn't finished acting arrogant, saw his expression change drastically, because after he took the stage, Mo Fan had already hidden behind the Dark Wolf and was secretly drawing a Lightning Element Star Map; by the time he noticed, the Star Map had already been completed.

"You talk too much."

Without any bells and whistles, as Mo Fan pointed his finger at the blue sky, a thundercloud instantly appeared above Bai Cangfeng's head; the terrifying thunder energy did not brew for long before a cracking purple bolt of lightning descended rapidly.

Boom!!!

"..."

"I said friendship first, competition second; why is everyone going for the kill?"

Lv Cheng's speechless voice rang out, but everyone's attention was drawn to another gargantuan creature.

"A dr... dragon?!"

A massive sub-dragon appeared out of nowhere in the Beast Taming Cage, spreading its dragon wings and easily blocking the Thunderbolt strike Mo Fan had launched at Bai Cangfeng.

"Uh... I just saw that Brother Lv Cheng was here," Mo Fan said with a stiff smile.

Damn! How did this sub-dragon become so terrifying?!

"This is... Commander-level, right?"

The department heads present were full of shock.

"The effect seems to be a bit too much..." Dean Xiao felt a little awkward.

He had originally intended to have Lv Cheng release his Commander-level sub-dragon after the Beast Taming Competition ended to motivate these newly enrolled young people, which was why he had arranged for Lv Cheng to serve as the referee for the Beast Taming Competition.

However...

The audience stands were in complete chaos, and some had even fainted directly from the aura of the Commander-level sub-dragon.

The motivation had turned into intimidation...
