Shen Mingxiao lost all desire to stay after Mo Fan's jab. How was he supposed to compete? Mo Fan had directly used a summoned beast, and its build was far sturdier than that of a Servant-level creature.
No comparison, no comparison. Shen Mingxiao hurriedly said goodbye and slunk away dejectedly.
Only Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu remained, staring at Mo Fan with their large, curious eyes. "When did you awaken the Summoning Element? I remember you originally had the Lightning Element and Shadow Element."
"Could it be that you're already a High-level Mage?"
Mu Nujiao had considered that possibility, but it was simply too shocking—terrifying, even.
People could still understand if you became an Intermediate Mage at eighteen. They would call you a genius, a prodigy, even a monster.
But if you became a High-level Mage at eighteen, then sorry, you would be deemed a heretic!
The famous all-element Calamity victim, Qin Yuer, was one such example. She became a High-level Mage at eighteen, and when she participated in the World Academy Competition, her Power of Calamity already rivaled that of an ordinary Super Level Mage.
It was precisely such peerless talent that drew the attention of the Holy Judgment Court, resulting in a tragedy back then comparable to that of Xu Xian and the White Lady!
Mu Nujiao was only guessing. Of course, she leaned more toward something like an innate talent. Mo Fan neither confirmed nor denied it!
After driving Old Wolf to the girls' dormitory building, Mo Fan suddenly smiled. "You two both live in this building? Then we really are fated. I live right across from you!"
"Really? That's wonderful! From now on, all errands are yours!" Ai Tutu said with a giggle.
"You little brat, you're pretty ordinary-looking, so why do you keep dreaming such sweet dreams?" Mo Fan nearly reached over to check whether Ai Tutu had a fever.
"Ahhh—damn you, Mo Fan! You're the ordinary-looking one! I'm naturally beautiful, as lovely as Xi Shi!" Ai Tutu clenched her little fists, compared her height to Mo Fan's, then angrily got even angrier.
After reaching their destination, Mo Fan called Old Wolf back. He had put on quite a show today, so he could keep a lower profile for the next few days.
After exchanging some information with the two girls, Mo Fan left. He first got a meal from the cafeteria and brought it back to eat in the dorm.
When he returned, Mo Fan saw his two roommates again. He had long forgotten their names, because in his previous life, after the freshman tournament, he had been isolated by the entire academy for challenging everyone. Afraid of being associated with Mo Fan, the two had moved out.
It was the same now. When Mo Fan returned, neither of them even looked up. They were both lying on their beds, playing on their phones.
Mo Fan was not the sort to force himself on others. He sat at the table between his bed and Zhao Manyan's, eating while admiring the long pale legs constantly coming and going in the girls' dormitory across the way.
Zhao Manyan did not return that afternoon either. He had probably gone to discuss the declining birth rate with some senior girls after lunch.
As usual, Mo Fan meditated. After all, he was a man with four Elements, and he even had two summoned beasts. Other people would go bankrupt raising just one, yet he still had plenty left over after raising two!
Once his Summoning Element broke through to the intermediate level, he could replace Old Wolf's bloodline and strengthen its soul. Then he would see what Old Wolf could evolve into. Hopefully, it would not be the Swift Star Wolf from his previous life.
In his previous life, that old bastard Professor Qiu Yuhua had tricked him. The Swift Star Wolf was indeed incredibly fast and had excellent value among common summoned beasts, but its only use to Mo Fan was carrying him while he ran away.
This time, it would be best if it evolved into a Wolf Clan Demonic Beast that could work with Mo Fan.
There were countless Wolf Clan Demonic Beasts, and both their upper and lower limits were high. At the upper end, some could even contend with true beast emperors like true dragons and giant gods. The Sun-Devouring Heavenly Dog Emperor and the Heavenly Demon Wolf Emperor were examples.
Around three or four o'clock, a tall, thin man with dyed red hair appeared. He made no effort to hide that he was a Fire Element student. The moment he entered the dorm, he swept his gaze around like a leader inspecting his territory.
"What Element are you?" The red-haired man walked between the two beds by the window and asked Mo Fan.
"Summoning Element!"
"Oh, oh." The red-haired student had not expected to kick an iron plate with his very first step.
"What about this bed? What Element is its owner?" The red-haired man pointed at Zhao Manyan's bed.
"Don't know."
Mo Fan could not be bothered to say more. Zhao Manyan would handle it himself.
He climbed back onto his bed and continued meditating.
After being ignored by Mo Fan, the red-haired student did not immediately put his bag on Zhao Manyan's bed. He was quite good at picking on the weak while fearing the strong, so he decided to wait until Zhao Manyan returned.
It was not until evening, after Mo Fan received a text from Jiang Yunming telling freshmen to report to their respective classrooms, that he stopped meditating.
Mo Fan had already experienced academy life once, so he no longer felt that nervous anticipation. There was still some time before the assembly, so he planned to browse the Celestial Spirit Codex and calculate Old Wolf's future evolution path.
Just then, Zhao Manyan returned. Seeing his smug, pleased expression, Mo Fan silently cursed him as a stallion.
He was still pretending to be some innocent young gentleman at this point. Later on, he would not be able to shake off his stallion persona even if he wanted to. If Mo Fan remembered correctly, Zhao Manyan had not even spared his own sister-in-law.
Though his elder brother had been cruel first, and Zhao Manyan unrighteous afterward!
As soon as Zhao Manyan returned, he sat on his bed and said, "Brother Mo Fan, did you meditate in the dorm all day? You should have gone out for a walk. Sure, you're not as handsome as me, but plenty of girls would probably have asked for your Little Green Book."
"Sorry, the nation has not yet grown strong. How can I speak of romance? What can test me is not women, but magic and the people!!" Mo Fan answered with a solemn expression.
Zhao Manyan's face stiffened. Brother, you're making me look really shallow!
"Hey, you're the owner of this bed, right?" The red-haired man jumped down from an empty bed and spoke to Zhao Manyan.
"Yeah, I am. And who are you?" Zhao Manyan was confused.
"My name is Lu Yunzheng. Fire Element. What Element are you?" the red-haired man asked in a very unfriendly tone.
Zhao Manyan had already picked up on something strange from Lu Yunzheng's tone!
"I'm from the Light Element."
Even so, Old Zhao stated his Element.
"Very good. This bed is mine now." The instant Lu Yunzheng heard that Zhao Manyan was from the Light Element, he relaxed and sat on Zhao Manyan's bed.
Hmm?!
Zhao Manyan's brow furrowed slightly. I wanted to get along with you all as an ordinary person, but are you forcing me to reveal my identity as a billionaire?
"You're Lu... from the Lu Family? Which branch are you from?" Zhao Manyan asked in a restrained tone, a dangerous smile on his face.
Lu Yunzheng was stunned, his mouth opening involuntarily.
"Looking at you, though, you're probably just a collateral branch disciple." Zhao Manyan's gaze now carried the bearing of a great family, looking down from above with a trace of disdain.
"Call the highest-ranking member of the Lu Family you know right now. Ask around about who I, Zhao Manyan, am. I'll make sure you die convinced!!"
After saying that, Zhao Manyan plopped down beside Mo Fan, who was holding his phone and chatting with Tang Yue.
