Freshman Goddess Mu Nujiao

"How did Li Xingze do that? Was that a Demon Slayer Tool?"

"No idea how he did it, but damn, that was cool. Cool as hell."

"I heard most of a Summoning Element mage's combat strength comes from their Summoned Beast. Summoners themselves are usually weaklings, but Li Xingze's strength is seriously ridiculous."

Some admired Li Xingze's strength, while others were displeased that he had stolen the spotlight and began badmouthing him.

"What's so impressive about that? He's just relying on his Summoned Beast and that special Demon Slayer Tool."

"You're just jealous."

"."

"Dean Xiao, this student's Demon Slayer Tool seems rather strange," Professor Zheng said as he looked at Dean Xiao.

Dean Xiao merely shook his head. "The key isn't the Demon Slayer Tool, but Li Xingze himself."

That only made the professors even more confused.

"If even the slightest deviation had appeared in Li Xingze's slash, that fireball could have exploded immediately. He has absolute confidence in his swordsmanship," Dean Xiao said.

Swordsmanship existed in this world as well, but it was not particularly powerful. To most mages, it was practically useless.

Of course, some mages combined magic with swordsmanship, greatly increasing their combat power, such as Asha Ruiya.

After hearing Dean Xiao's explanation, the professors became even more interested in Li Xingze.

While training both the Lightning Element and Summoning Element to the Intermediate Level, he had also studied swordsmanship. His talent was truly terrifying!

Li Xingze had no idea that, in the eyes of these professors and teachers, he had already been assumed to be an intermediate-level dual-element mage.

As the first wave of challengers was defeated, the freshmen across the school fell into a tacit silence.

Li Xingze was not as simple as they had imagined. The plan of subduing the summoner alone was still extremely difficult.

"The resources aren't even that much anyway. I don't want to spend a week lying in bed," one Light Element student said.

"That little bit of resources can't make up for my wounded heart," the Water Element student said as well.

"Don't you have any ambition? He's taking all the school's resources for himself, and you're just willing to accept that?" a Fire Element student said angrily.

"I don't care," the Light Element student said with a shrug, looking like an unambitious couch potato.

"."

In truth, those Fire Element and Lightning Element students were simply unwilling to let one person monopolize all the school's resources.

Another twenty students stepped forward one after another. This time, there were no Water Element mages, but there was an additional team of Earth Element mages.

It seemed they intended to give up on defense and instead use Wind Element and Earth Element magic to restrain the Summoned Beast.

Even if Li Xingze could handle five Fire Element mages, they refused to believe he could handle ten Lightning and Fire Element mages as well.

"Now Li Xingze is in trouble," an elderly professor said.

Even though Li Xingze possessed intermediate-level Lightning Element magic, dealing with ten students at once was clearly extremely difficult.

But in the next moment, his eyes widened.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xingze had teleported behind a Lightning Element student and placed his blade against the student's neck.

"You lost."

Feeling the icy, bone-chilling blade against his skin, the Lightning Element student trembled all over. He had not seen Li Xingze's movement at all.

It was as though Li Xingze had vanished in an instant. Could that have been Space Element magic?

The other nine were equally startled. That ghostlike disappearance and reappearance was simply too terrifying!

"Could Li Xingze have a Space Element magic artifact?" a teacher said.

Space teleportation was Advanced Magic of the Space Element. A magic artifact of that level would be priceless, yet it had somehow appeared in the hands of an intermediate-level mage.

Dean Xiao also watched Li Xingze curiously. He had not sensed the slightest spatial fluctuation.

That meant Li Xingze had not used the Space Element, but could a human truly possess such terrifying speed?

While everyone was stunned, the Goldflame Dragon Lion had already eliminated those ten Wind Element and Earth Element mages.

Competing in speed with a General-Level Summoned Beast was practically a joke.

"We surrender."

Looking up at the enormous demon beast towering over them, the remaining nine surrendered without hesitation.

As the second wave of challengers was defeated, the entire venue fell into prolonged silence.

Li Xingze was completely unbeatable!

Dean Xiao frowned as well. "Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge him?"

Just as everyone remained silent, a challenger quietly walked down from the stands.

"It's Goddess Mu!"

"We're done for! Goddess Mu is about to suffer at the hands of the Great Demon Head!"

"Goddess Mu has already stepped up, yet none of you so-called 'flower protectors' dare to take the field?"

Li Xingze slightly raised his head at the sound, only to see a breathtakingly beautiful woman before him.

Her exquisite face was so beautiful it took one's breath away, and her tall, graceful figure stirred a wave of heat. While the entire school had been cowed by the Great Demon King's tyranny, she alone, a Valkyrie, stepped forward.

Her peerless beauty and courage to refuse submission to the Great Demon Head invigorated all the freshmen. More than a dozen freshmen stepped onto the field one after another, including three Intermediate-Level Mages.

However, of those three Intermediate-Level Mages, perhaps only one could cast Intermediate Magic.

"Looks like this is the final battle."

Li Xingze grew considerably more serious. Although the Goldflame Dragon Lion could easily handle four Intermediate-Level Mages, it would take some time.

"I'll handle him. You guys deal with that Summoned Beast." Mu Nujiao was not foolish enough to think she could solo a General-Level Summoned Beast.

Li Xingze was simply terrifyingly strong. Facing him, it did not feel unreasonable at all for Intermediate-Level Mages to join forces.

Most of the freshmen who had taken the field had done so because of the goddess's influence, so no one objected to Mu Nujiao's proposal.

Before long, under the command of the three Intermediate-Level Mages, the dozen or so people surrounded the Goldflame Dragon Lion.

"You want to duel me?"

Li Xingze's gaze fell on Mu Nujiao. Worthy of being the Freshman Goddess, her beauty was in no way inferior to Mu Ningxue's or Xin Xia's.

He remembered that Mu Nujiao seemed to be battle-crazed. Defeating a goddess like this sounded rather interesting.

"Mhm~" Mu Nujiao said nothing more, merely watching Li Xingze warily.

Li Xingze's earlier method of ambushing Bai Zangfeng had left a deep impression on her.

This guy did not seem like the sort to go easy on women.

But that suited her perfectly!

Seeing this, Li Xingze smiled faintly and ordered the Goldflame Dragon Lion, "Xiao Jin, once you've dealt with them, don't come help me."

The Goldflame Dragon Lion was more than happy with that arrangement. It could not wait to rest sooner.

Fighting this bunch of trash was not challenging at all, and it could not even hit too hard. It made the fight terribly uncomfortable.

"You!" Mu Nujiao was somewhat annoyed. This guy was clearly looking down on her!

But she would not waste words. She would prove herself through action!

"Kun Forest - Prison!!"

Green star trails appeared, twisting like vines. They intertwined beneath Mu Nujiao's delicate feet, swiftly forming a picture of nature that symbolized the flourishing of all living things!!

With a light flick of her jade-like finger, energy containing immense natural life force transformed into an utterly inconspicuous seed. The seed quickly drifted onto the soil beneath Li Xingze's feet.

Then, countless strange-looking branches and vines rapidly grew around Li Xingze, winding around one another as they grew.

In just a few breaths, a Plant Prison two people tall appeared in the arena, and Li Xingze vanished from everyone's sight.

Clearly, Li Xingze had already been trapped inside Mu Nujiao's Plant Prison.
