Pearl Institute Opens

Songcheng Institute.

Li Xingze had originally wanted Xin Xia to apply to Pearl Institute so that he could take care of her more easily, but Xin Xia still chose Songcheng Institute.

Songcheng Institute's Healing Element was indeed stronger than Pearl Institute's, so Li Xingze did not press the matter too much.

The main reason Li Xingze did not want Xin Xia to apply to Songcheng Institute was that he feared the Parthenon Temple would find her.

Once she joined the Parthenon Temple, Xin Xia would be plunged into countless dangers. After all, she possessed the Parthenon Soul and would inevitably be dragged into the turmoil surrounding the selection of the Goddess.

The Parthenon Temple's Saints were not much to worry about. What truly concerned him was Izisha, who would be resurrected later.

The one pulling the strings behind her was the Dark King's avatar—Wen Tai. He was no ordinary Emperor-level being; he had most likely reached the level of a High Emperor!

After settling Xin Xia in, Li Xingze also gave her the defensive magic artifact he had gotten from Zhao Manyan earlier. With it, even High-level Magisters would find it difficult to hurt her.

It was such a pity. Xin Xia had only just come of age, yet she had gone off to Hangzhou.

He had been only one final step away!

Pearl Institute, dormitory.

Since both Li Xingze and Mo Fan had been specially admitted without taking the Magic College Entrance Exam, they had been assigned directly to a mixed dorm.

Li Xingze did not complain about it. He had gotten used to sharing a bed with Xin Xia in the past, so a six-person dorm was not particularly crowded.

He had already made his plans. First, he would secure all the school's available resources, then enter the Three Step Tower to cultivate. Ideally, he would break his Summoning Element through to the third level of the Intermediate Level in one go.

As long as his Summoning Element reached the third level of the Intermediate Level, the Goldflame Dragon Lion would not take long to reach the Great General rank.

With two Great Generals, Li Xingze could easily take first place on the Thunder Ranking and enjoy more cultivation time in the Three Step Tower.

Once the semester ended, he would rent an apartment near Pearl Institute. Then he could cultivate in peace.

It would be even better if he could find two beautiful female roommates.

Since Li Xingze and Mo Fan had moved into the dorm the day before school started, the room currently contained only the two of them.

The next day.

Li Xingze got up early as usual and noticed a somewhat familiar figure standing outside the door.

Looking closer, he saw that it was Zhao Manyan, whom he had met once a year ago.

As a pure-hearted young man, Zhao Manyan had probably already hooked up with some pretty senior student by now.

However, the senior students this guy hooked up with were basically old students from the Green Campus, with rather mediocre talent.

Zhao Manyan, who preferred quick flings, did not care whether their talent was good or not. If their talent was too good, he would instead worry about getting stabbed.

"Li Xingze, I didn't expect us to be roommates. What a coincidence."

The moment Zhao Manyan saw Li Xingze, his face first filled with astonishment before he broke into an easygoing smile.

A year ago, he had failed to obtain that top-grade Light Element Spirit Seed, but the Ice Mage Hai Bo Dong had saved his life several times. So, he had still willingly given Li Xingze a defensive magic artifact.

The main issue was that the information had been too unreliable. The location recorded had been completely wrong, and it had even led them into the path of that tyrannical giant Feathered Demon.

That Feathered Demon had already reached the Sub-Monarch Level. A casual attack from it could kill a High-level Magister at full cultivation, and the two High-level Magisters he had brought along had both died.

If Hai Bo Dong had not refused to abandon him, he would most likely have become a pile of dung before eventually vanishing into nothingness.

Thinking of this, Zhao Manyan could not help feeling fortunate. Compared to his life, what was one defensive magic artifact worth?

At that moment, Mo Fan, who was brushing his teeth outside, walked out and said unclearly, "I'm Mo Fan. Who're you guys?"

"You should finish brushing your teeth first," Li Xingze said.

"By the way, Li Xingze, I still don't know what Element you have."

Zhao Manyan asked with a smile. Although he knew Li Xingze was definitely an Intermediate-Level Mage, he had no idea what Element he cultivated.

"Summoning Element."

"Summoning Element?!" Zhao Manyan was startled, then suddenly said, "You know about the freshman competition, right?"

"What freshman competition?" Mo Fan asked, his face full of confusion.

"Isn't it just the Beast Arena Competition? I happen to be short on resources," Li Xingze said calmly.

"Awesome!"

Zhao Manyan gave Li Xingze a thumbs-up. He did not think Li Xingze was boasting, since Li Xingze had already been an Intermediate-Level Mage a year ago.

Then Zhao Manyan shifted his gaze to Mo Fan, who seemed fairly familiar with Li Xingze, and said politely:

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhao Manyan, Light Element."

"Mo Fan, Undead Element," Mo Fan said.

"Undead Element?"

Zhao Manyan's mind failed to process it for a moment. He stared blankly at Mo Fan before suddenly saying:

"So you're the Undead Mage everyone outside has been talking about. This is my first time meeting an Undead Mage."

"Just lucky."

Mo Fan rubbed his nose and smiled with a hint of pride.

"Undead Element, Summoning Element."

He had run into two roommates with rare Elements in a row, making him, a Light Element student, feel a little awkward.

However, Zhao Manyan quickly tossed that matter to the back of his mind. He had come to school to enjoy himself!!

"Brother Li Xingze, Brother Mo Fan, I have lunch arranged with that senior student, so I'll be leaving first."

Zhao Manyan flicked his flowing hair and strolled away in a carefree manner.

"Who was that? He already hooked up with a senior student on the first day of school?"

Mo Fan stared blankly out the door and curiously asked Li Xingze.

Could being handsome really let someone do whatever they wanted?

"The second young master of the Zhao Trading Company, one of Magic City's Four Great Families. The girls he dates are practically different every day."

"That awesome?!"

Mo Fan's face was filled with shock. This guy was truly a role model for their generation—though he wondered whether his little tool could take it.

Not long after Zhao Manyan left, two more people entered.

Whether they were shy around strangers or simply aloof by nature, neither of them greeted Mo Fan, who had been in the dorm first. They simply began tidying up their own beds.

That afternoon, a tall, skinny man with dyed red hair appeared.

The man made no effort to hide that he was a Fire Element student. The moment he entered the dorm, he swept his gaze over the room like a leader inspecting his territory.

"Whose bed is this?" the red-haired man asked, pointing at one.

"Mine." Mo Fan walked in from the balcony.

"What Element are you?" the red-haired student asked.

"Undead Element."

"Huh? Huh?!"

The red-haired student's eyes went blank. He had actually run into such a rare Undead Mage just like that?

Even the two aloof roommates who had been quietly unpacking could not help lifting their heads to glance at Mo Fan. The Undead Element was far too rare!

"What about this bed? What Element is its owner?" The red-haired student pointed at Li Xingze's bed again.

At that moment, Li Xingze had already gone to the Azure Sky Hunter Agency and was not in the dorm.

"Summoning Element," Mo Fan answered honestly.

The red-haired student was completely dumbfounded. Why did this feel like winning the lottery? Every single one of them was so badass—he couldn't afford to mess with them, absolutely couldn't.

In the end, after all that, the red-haired student still took over Zhao Manyan's bed.
