89: Chapter 23: Divine Artifact, Eternal Substitute Puppet (Part 1) -1 89: Chapter 23: Divine Artifact, Eternal Substitute Puppet (Part 1) -1 The Central Trial Field was boiling over.
It was one of the most important places in the Milan Magic Martial Academy, and it was boiling with excitement for the first time in centuries.
The sturdy ground, backed by magic protection, was now pletely shattered.
Countless pieces of rock and debris rose into the sky, centered on the spot where Ye Yinzhu previously stood.
The ground subsequently caved in.
Fortunately, Fergerson and the other teachers had anticipated this and infused their magic power into the overall defense cover early on, ensuring that the Central Trial Field’s protection did not collapse.
Even so, the violent tremors from the earth left large cracks appearing around the edges of the Central Trial Field.
Like a broken sack, Ma Liang’s body was thrown into the air and hit the defense cover heavily, fainting instantly without uttering a sound.
As he fainted, five silver lights floated out from the explosion’s epicenter and merged with the ancient ring on his hand.
Luckily, he was relatively far from the epicenter of the explosion, and moreover, the Silver Dragon had been his summon, and thus, the blast at his position was less intense.
Had it not been for these factors, he would surely have been killed by the powerful blast.
Teachers and students alike stared at the flying sand and rocks in the field, listened to the dense sound of falling debris.
Who would have ever imagined anything like this happening during the newbie petition?
This level of destructive power was something not even a fifth-year graduating student could achieve, and yet it had happened in the final battle of the newbie petition!
“Hurry, save him.” As the dean, Fergerson was the first to react, and his concern for Ma Liang was more significant than the others’.
He had just taken on an extraordinarily talented disciple, was he gone just like that?
As the defense cover was opened, a wave of dust rushed towards everyone, prompting the student body to break into fits of coughing.
The teachers swiftly departed from the grandstand, rushing to assist those in the field.
At that exact moment, a slender figure bolted into the field with unbridled speed towards the spot where Ma Liang had fallen.
“I’ll kill you.” A shrill scream of rage echoed as the figure rushed towards the unconscious Ma Liang.
A flash of black lightning shimmered in his hand, moving so fast that even the teachers could do nothing but look on helplessly as it neared Ma Liang’s heart, akin to the Grim Reaper’s scythe.
“Sura, stop.” Just as everyone was too late to stop the ominous black lightning, a purple light suddenly shot out from the not yet dissipated dust.
Ding–, the black blade halted, creating a sudden standstill for Sura’s slender figure.
His black blade was unexpectedly pierced by a purple long needle, which remained fixed on the blade, creating an odd sight.
Sura didn’t continue to attack Ma Liang.
Instead, he turned around and stared at the slowly disappearing smoke, mumbling, “Yin Zhu, Yin Zhu, did you survive?”
A tall figure slowly emerged from the dust, his black hair now gray from the dust.
His face was so dirty that his original handsome features were barely visible, only the white robe on his body remained clean.
“Yin Zhu—” In this moment, Sura forgot everything, everything, he even failed to realize that his voice had bee shrill, unlike a man’s.
He utilized his assassin speed and threw himself into Ye Yin Zhu’s arms like a swallow, his slender arms tightly gripping Ye Yin Zhu’s body, fearful that he might disappear.
Tears welled up in his eyes, his body trembling violently, his breath along with it, reflecting his tumultuous feelings of deep sorrow quickly changing to extreme joy.
“Easy, easy, do you want to strangle me?
I’m dirty.” Ye Yin Zhu smilingly said.
“I don’t care, I don’t care.
You scared me to death.” Authentic feelings poured forth, causing Sura to cry out loud, pletely disregarding the surroundings.
“Alright, don’t cry now.” Ye Yin Zhu was a bit at a loss as he tried to fort Sura.
“You ruined my dagger.
It’s expensive, you have to pay.”
“Alright, alright, I will pay.” While promising, Ye Yin Zhu realized that all their money seemed to be with Sura.
Fergerson and the teachers had finally arrived at the center of the ground.
The location where Ye Yin Zhu previously stood had now bee a crater with a diameter exceeding twenty meters.
The Central Trial Field was done for, it would take at least a month of repair to be usable again.
However, Fergerson was in high spirits, Ye Yin Zhu was safe, what more could make him happier?
Vielli, with close to a bewildered expression, cradled the unconscious Ma Liang.
He could not fathom any of what had happened.
The Silver Dragon, that was a summoned Silver Dragon!
“Hem, hem.” Nina’s coughing noise resounded next to Vielli.
“Director Vielli, don’t forget about our bet.” Nina’s icy facade had disappeared, replaced by a victorious smile.
Vielli seemed to suddenly remember something and stood up sharply from the ground, “Life Guardian, it was the Life Guardian, wasn’t it.
You deliberately set me up.”
Nina looked surprised, “Set you up?
Did I?
You agreed to the bet on your own, I did not force you.
The dean and teachers can all vouch for me.
Are you saying that your student can use the Six Silver Dragon Weapons, which are parable to divine artifacts, but our Divine Music Department’s student is not allowed to use the Life Guardian?
Doesn’t seem fair, does it?”
“You…” Vielli was dumbfounded as he stared at Nina, unable to speak.
Fergerson from the side coughed, trying hard not to laugh, “Alright, Director Vielli, a debt of honor must be paid.”
“But, but dean, my Eternal Substitute Puppet…”
In the Divine Music Department stands, all the female students heaved a sigh of relief as they watched Ye Yinzhu walk out from the dust.
“Haiyang, you pinched me hard just now.” Xiang Luan said softly near Haiyang’s ear with a laugh.
Haiyang’s chest noticeably quickened its pace, he glanced at her and said, “But you ended up ripping the hem of my clothes.
Are you afraid that if Ye Yinzhu died, you wouldn’t be able to fulfill your promise?”
Xiang Luan’s face turned red, “Haiyang, since when did you bee such a smooth talker?”
Haiyang smiled slightly, “And you?
I remember never seeing you worry over a boy before.”
Xiang Luan huffed, “However, it seems like Ye Yinzhu doesn’t like women.
Otherwise, why would he not choose any of the beauties from our Divine Music Department.
Look, he is hugging with another man.”
“That’s brotherly affection, a true display of their feelings.” After saying this, Haiyang subconsciously blushed a bit.
On the Dark Department stand.
Yue Ming was patting his own chest, “Thank goodness he’s alright.
Otherwise, who would acpany me to send back Ming Xue?
He’s really strong!”
In the Wind Department stand.
Roland, looking at Ye Yinzhu in the center of the field, got excited inexplicably, “That damn fellow, he just won’t die.
His vitality is even tougher than those stupid dragons.”
In the Heavy Cavalry Department stand.
Nesta laughed heartily, “It looks like I’ve got another opponent.”
Standing in the middle of the field, Fergerson, with a smile that reached every corner, didn’t need to use sound amplifying equipment as his voice already reached all the stands, “Now, I have a few announcements.
First, the Newer Tournament has ended.
The champion is the Divine Music Department, the runner-up is the Summoning Department, and the third-place winner is the Heavy Cavalry Department.
The participating students from these three departments will receive special focus from the academy for further cultivation.
Additionally, the tuition and lodging fees for the next five years of these fifteen students will be fully exempted.
The team leaders of the three departments will each receive weapons or magic items: one item for the Heavy Cavalry Department, two items for the Summoning Department and three items for the Divine Music Department.
They can choose them from the academy’s treasure house.” This was the standard reward for the Newer Tournament, so no one had any doubts about it.
