Chapter 54 Su Ming vs. Mu Jin
Chapter 54 Su Ming vs. Mu Jin
Naturally, some people in the crowd were not convinced, such as the group that Mu Bai had beaten down, and the student that Qin Lan had confronted.
Even if they disagree, there's nothing they can do; can they argue with the teacher?
Some teachers with good tempers might do this, but Qin Lan clearly has a short temper. Arguing with her would probably result in spending some time in the infirmary.
Although they were dissatisfied, they did not show it.
There were many students from the Ice element, and they sat in the same spot where Mu Bai and Su Ming had sat before. One of the girls excitedly said, "Girl, look! Isn't Mu Bai handsome? He's from our Ice element too. Even a mid-level Fire element mage lost to him. I wonder if he has a girlfriend now."
This girl is clearly a hopeless romantic; Mu Bai has encountered people like her since high school, or even earlier.
"Yes, he is very impressive," Mu Qianjin replied, but she didn't pay attention to Mu Bai. Instead, she looked at Su Ming in the middle of the stage, her gaze thoughtful, as if she was thinking about something.
"Hey, should we give Mu Bai a piece of our mind? If he wins, we might not have any resources left this semester," someone suggested, only to be immediately shut down.
"Come on, Mu Bai is clearly at his limit. Even if we don't go, someone else will. Do you really think three hundred is so easy to deal with?"
"Qianjin, what are you thinking about?" Mu Qianjin's female classmate asked, shaking her as she looked into a daze.
"Ah, oh, I'll give it a try," Mu Qianjin suddenly said, catching everyone around her off guard.
"what?"
"My dear, why don't you try? Can you do it?"
"Miss, you'd better not go. Even though Mu Bai is so weak, he's still a mid-level mage. We're just beginner mages, and we're ice-type, so we definitely won't get any benefits if we go."
Some people comforted her, saying that they would be very sad if such a beautiful girl like Mu Qianjin got injured in the competition.
Mu Qianjin really wanted to say that she was also a mid-level mage, but then she thought better of it. She would definitely show it when she went on stage later. Words alone were not enough, and they might not believe her.
"Holy crap, who's that?! She's so beautiful!"
"Wow, how come I didn't know there was such a person at the Ancient Capital Academy? That shouldn't be the case."
"Holy crap, with that face, that aura, that figure, she must be the most beautiful girl at the ancient capital's university."
Mu Qianjin's appearance drew cheers. After enrolling in the ancient capital, she did not stay at the school, but went out to deal with the dead. She also went out for a stroll with her older brother. Although some people had seen Mu Qianjin, the news did not spread far, so not many people knew about her.
Mu Bai's gaze flickered. Why did this person seem stronger than him?
"I want to compete with Su Ming," Mu Qianjin said crisply.
Mu Bai: "?"
"You look down on me," Mu Bai was about to speak when a hand landed on his shoulder. He didn't need to look to know it was Su Ming. Su Ming's expression was a little strange, like he was constipated: "I...I'll do it."
Mu Bai nodded, not refusing: "Then I'll recover my magic power first, and then switch back later."
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a mid-level mage to deal with 150 mages with their magic power. However, since there are two of them, they can take turns attacking and recover their magic power in between. In this way, the two of them working together may be able to take down 300 mages.
Mu Bai made no unnecessary movements, immediately stepped down from the stage and began meditating, trying to quickly restore his magical energy.
Su Ming's expression was unpleasant. Mu Qianjin was wearing a white t-shirt, which, although loose, still couldn't cover her ample breasts. She wore light blue denim shorts that showed off her perfect leg shape. Unfortunately, she was wearing white sneakers, so her jade feet couldn't be seen.
Her hair was down, smooth black hair that seemed easy to comb through, and it was hard to tell if it would hit her face when she cast spells.
"Big sister, you're coming?"
"Is that not allowed?" Mu Qianjin asked doubtfully. "If you win, I won't get any resources for this semester. My brother works hard every day to find resources. I can't let him work too hard. I have to get the resources the school provides."
Su Ming suggested, "How about this, I'll beat those three hundred people down and then give you double the amount of your original resources. How about that?"
Su Ming thought he had it in the bag, but Mu Qianjin shook her head: "No, besides resources, I also want to compete with you."
Well, they've got their eyes on me after all. Why did they have to pick this time to have a competition? It's all over now, and since Miss Mu has come up here, she probably won't back down.
Su Ming wasn't worried about how strong Mu Qianjin was; he was confident he could defeat her. But... she had a terrifying ice bow! Facing the ice bow, Su Ming had absolutely no confidence; it was a powerful weapon capable of freezing even a corpse minister!
"I won't use the Ice Crystal Bow. That thing can cause me a lot of harm, and my brother won't allow me to use it recklessly."
Su Ming, who was originally holding the Ice Bow, calmed down after hearing Mu Qianjin's words and regained his composure as a master.
"In that case, let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, several ice locks instantly shot up from the ground and rushed towards Su Ming at the speed of rockets.
"Quite fast," Su Ming thought to himself.
The two ice locks were blocked in mid-air and could not move. That was Su Ming's space magic, Mind Control Barrier. But Su Ming's limit was only to control two ice locks. How many ice locks were there?
Thirteen, that's more than the number of ice locks Mu Bai released.
Ring ring ring...
Just as the ice locks were about to strike Su Ming, a dimensional gate opened, and several ice locks disappeared into it without causing the slightest ripple. Xiao Qing walked out from inside, wearing a light feather robe, her little face full of seriousness.
A gust of wind lifted Su Ming from the ground, allowing him to evade the control of the ice lock. With Su Ming out of the way, Xiao Qing waved her hands, and a wind barrier instantly formed, condensing wind blades. Several wind blades could shatter an ice lock, but their effect was minimal.
Although the dozen or so ice chains did not affect her movement trajectory, they were still under Mu Qianjin's control. She manipulated the ice chains to move around in the gale, like a dozen snakes and pythons.
But Xiaoqing was no pushover. She wasn't an unclaimed creature. When she realized she couldn't stop it, she stopped being stubborn and began absorbing the summoning magic energy from Su Ming's body. With the support of the magic energy, Xiaoqing was able to barely stop the ice lock.
At this moment, Su Ming also landed from the air. He wanted to see Xiao Qing and Mu Qianjin duel to provoke Xiao Qing and help her get out of infancy and grow into childhood as soon as possible, but he didn't have time now and had to finish the fight quickly.
The combat of elemental mages is related to the elemental particles in the air; the power of magic depends on the amount of the corresponding elemental particles in the air.
Just now, Mu Qianjin released Ice Vine - Freeze. It won't be long before this area is frozen. He doesn't have fire element, so it will be very troublesome.
"Wait...wait!! What's going on? Can someone explain this situation?!"
"Wow, this girl is amazing. Even Mu Bai couldn't match her number of ice locks."
Everyone was shocked by Mu Qianjin's strength. They originally thought she was just a pretty face who wanted to gain some fame by taking advantage of her, but they didn't expect her to be so strong.
The most embarrassed were undoubtedly the ice-elemental students who had just tried to persuade Mu Qianjin. They thought Mu Qianjin was a beginner-level ice mage like them, but they didn't expect her to make such a big move right away.
This is an ice mage even more powerful than Mu Bai, probably ranking first in the entire ice academy. They were so ashamed they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
A large number of students were focused on Mu Qianjin in the official group, while only a small number of students and teachers were paying attention to Su Ming.
"That move just now was a spatial technique, right? To be able to cut through the ice lock, one must be a spatial cultivator with summoning as a secondary skill. But this summoned beast is quite powerful; anyone who can't cast mid-level magic would probably be defeated by it."
"The Ancient Capital Academy has also sent a formidable individual in both the spatial and summoning systems; we probably can't compete with them. Are we just going to give up our resources like this?"
"I don't care. Anyway, the university's resources are pretty useless. If you want them, go for them yourselves."
"I'd like to, but I'm not sure I can beat this person. Letting others wear them down before taking advantage of them would be a bit underhanded. It's a bit of a hassle..."
Most students are seated according to their element, but there are always exceptions. The group sitting here is a self-organized group, including fire, water, and lightning elements, and all kinds of elements. They all have one thing in common: they are all intermediate-level mages.
This place gathers the most talented group of freshmen from the ancient capital's academy. Some may not be able to cast intermediate-level spells, but few can become intermediate-level mages during their freshman year.
