When Mu Tingying and Nanrong Ni erged from the water, drenched like soaked chickens, all the male students were "boiling with excitent," whistling and teasing them.
At that mont, their soaked clothes outlined their graceful figures, accentuating their curves. The wet fabric clung tightly, making their bodies appear even more alluring. This bunch of beasts finally got a taste of their own dicine.
Sizzle!
Mu Tingying's face turned pale as an icy white fla erupted around her, instantly evaporating the water from their clothes. Nanrong Ni, with her pure and innocent face, blushed deeply, adding an extra layer of charm. Many students from Pearl Academy began to wonder had Lu Butcher gone too far this ti?
"What are you all standing around for? Start jeering!"
But soon, under the lead of the female students, the entire arena erupted in boos
"Is this all the so-called Imperial Capital Academy has to offer? Arrogant weaklings pretending to be kings! Pathetic scum with no integrity!"
"Almost forgot these dogs have a record of disgraceful deeds. They deserved the beating!"
Seeing this, Mu Tingying looked at Zu Jiming with disgust. If not for his inaction, they wouldn't have been suppressed so thoroughly.
She possessed dual-elent spirits Seed, Coldfla and Glacial Ice two elents that were highly compatible. The flas didn't lt the ice, and the icy environnt actually strengthened her Coldfla, making her a pure destruction-type mage.
Yet, she couldn't unleash her full potential.
In essence, Mu Tingying was on the sa path as Mo Fan a year later dual destructive elents.
The downside? Low mobility, weak defense, and a need for teammates to cover her.
As for Zu Jiming, he felt fortunate he hadn't stepped onto the battlefield. If he had, he probably would've been brutally tornted physically as well. He made up his mind to steer clear of Lu Jun and his people in the future
After Imperial Capital Academy's defeat, the news spread like wildfire across school forums nationwide. Everyone was shocked. The nation's leading academy had suffered a crushing defeat at Pearl Academy!
Looking at Imperial Capital Academy's team roster, people saw elite students with mid-tier level 2 mastery, fully equipped with magical artifacts and spirit seeds. Their strength was terrifying. This led to widespread curiosity who was the warrior that crushed these prodigies?
The answer quickly surfaced Lu Jun.
"It's Lu The Butcher Lu Jun! No wonder... Looks like Imperial Capital's luck ran out this year!"
"A natural-born talent with magic amplification. While it doesn't significantly enhance cultivation speed or spell potency, he's ranked 10th on this year's innate talent list. But when it cos to actual combat, he's the undisputed number one powerhouse!"
"I watched the footage hilarious! Imperial Capital's team got wiped out in a few moves. Lu The Butcher barely used any mana. They couldn't even force him to reveal his natural-born ability!"
At the Coliseum, Mu Tingying and the others had no face left to stay. Their next match was a friendly exchange against Southern Academy. Fueled by anger, they completely annihilated their opponents, swiftly securing victory before retreating to their dormitories.
Li Kaifeng and Zhou Xu remained silent, deeply feeling the gap in strength yet unwilling to accept it. Among their team, only the strongest like Jiang Yu and Nanrong Ni could compare to Pearl's elite.
The others weren't even in the sa league.
In the final match, Lu Jun led his team and effortlessly defeated Southern Academy.
Seeing Zhou Xu and Li Kaifeng looking
dejected, Lu Jun shook his head. Although these two had been chosen for the National Academy Team, over ti, they fell behind in the brutal selection process. By the ti of the Venice Magic Tournant (held every four years), they had been reduced to re substitutes.
Regardless, the exchange matches concluded with Pearl Academy securing first place. Even then, Lu Jun had concealed two of his elental powers.
After the battle, Ding Yumian stretched lazily. Her white dress accentuated her slender waist and full chest, giving her the graceful allure of a delicate branch bearing heavy fruit.
Throughout the matches, she had barely exerted herself only focusing on neutralizing a single opponent. No one suspected anything unusual, assuming she was just a regular Mind Elent mage.
Lu Jun had single-handedly defeated two top academies without breaking a sweat. His hands remained in his pockets, his face exuding an aura of absolute dominance.
The National Academy Team's seven mbers had all been beaten by him before. When they t again, who among them would dare challenge him? They'd have no choice but to acknowledge him as their leader!
He turned to his teammates and said, "That's a wrap. Let's go to Dean Xiao's office and claim our rewards."
Dongfang Ming and Bai Zhengfeng exchanged relieved smiles.
anwhile, Dean Xiao was on a phone call, listening to the envious voice of Imperial Capital Academy's Headmaster:
"You've got a real prodigy this year! I assu you're preparing for the National Battle three years from now?"
Dean Xiao chuckled, playing along:
"Oh, it's nothing. Your academy also has so promising talents. So of them will probably make it to the National Team as well."
"Sigh." Imperial Capital's Headmaster sounded frustrated. "Don't even ntion it. Not a single student from a humble background made the cut only nobles and heirs of powerful families. And you saw their character firsthand. If this continues, our academy will beco a playground for the elite."
Dean Xiao fell silent. Pearl Academy wasn't much better.
Magic cultivation required talent, but resources played an equally critical role. These resources were monopolized by noble families, creating an ever-widening gap between them and ordinary students. One day, this imbalance would inevitably erupt into conflict.
After wrapping up the conversation, he heard a knock at the door Lu Jun and his teammates had arrived to claim their rewards.
Seeing them, Dean Xiao smiled kindly and said, "You did well, securing first place for Pearl Academy. Tell what reward do you want?"
Dongfang Ming and Bai Zhengfeng opted for large amounts of spirit seed fragnts. Combined with their family rewards, they'd soon be able to synthesize a complete spirit seed. Others chose practical mid-tier magical artifacts.
When it was Lu Jun's turn, he imdiately requested a rare tal to forge a high-damage Demon-Slaying Weapon.
After careful consideration, he aid to enhance his tal Elent. His Zhenjin already provided imnse durability, constantly improving with his cultivation. Now, he sought a second tal to maximize tal Elent's offensive potential perhaps one that dealt true damage, penetrated defenses, or pushed sharpness to the extre.
Dean Xiao, surprised by the unusual request, asked, "Are you sure? Rare tals are mostly useless to ordinary people. If you want a custom-made magical weapon, I can connect you with so skilled craftsn."
"That's exactly why I need the raw material. I'd rather get sothing precious within the academy's budget than waste it on an average artifact."
Seeing his determination, Dean Xiao agreed.
Coincidentally, due to Zu Jiming's disgraceful incident, the Zu family had provided compensation to Pearl Academy, including a rare tal used for forging cursed weapons perfectly aligning with Lu Jun's needs.
A few days later, exchange students from Imperial Capital Academy and Southern Academy officially settled at Pearl Academy for a three-month training program.
The Southern Academy students blended in quickly, but Imperial Capital's students faced constant hostility. Whenever Zu Jiming, Guan Yu, or Jiang Yu appeared, students would mockingly clutch their chests, repeatedly implying they were perverts.
This was their version of the "finger universe" gesture at first a joke, but when everyone did it, it beca a deeply humiliating insult.
Zu Jiming and Guan Yu couldn't stand it, desperately wanting to leave.
Jiang Yu, on the other hand, looked like he was about to cry. "I didn't even do anything! Why am I getting treated the sa?!"
anwhile, Imperial Capital's visiting professor Professor Yuan was widely welcod, especially among Water Elent students.
