Li Xingze: Who Else!

"Long live Goddess Mu!"

"Goddess, you're freaking awesome!"

Seeing Mu Nujiao subdue Li Xingze, the previously desolate stands erupted with astonishing cheers, as if they had already defeated the Great Demon Head.

"Li Xingze was still too careless," a female teacher remarked.

"The outcome is still uncertain. Breaking out of that cage won't be difficult for a General-Level Summoned Beast," said a more levelheaded male teacher.

Before victory or defeat, so-called verbal promises were nothing more than a joke.

On the Beast Arena, Mu Nujiao showed no joy whatsoever, because that Summoned Beast had already eliminated more than a dozen other students.

In other words, she was the only one left in the arena. Yet the Summoned Beast showed no intention of attacking her at all. It simply lay down where it was and took a nap, with no intention of breaking out of the Plant Prison.

Inside the cage.

Li Xingze swung Jealousy, slashing again and again at the vines. Nearly every strike tore open a massive gap.

But in the next instant, those huge openings were immediately packed shut by newly grown vines.

Instant Shift was not true teleportation. Inside this completely sealed cage, it was utterly useless.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have tried to act cool."

Before the vines had grown into a cage, Li Xingze had had more than enough time to leave. But in a moment of stupidity, he had actually chosen to stay where he was.

Thus, Li Xingze could only place his hopes on Xiao Hei.

Summoning the Abyssal Dragon, Li Xingze said, "Xiao Hei, burn a hole through these vines for me."

Xiao Hei tilted his head, his dragon eyes like black-gold gemstones looking at Li Xingze in confusion, as though asking: Master, how did you even get trapped by this thing?

Though puzzled, Xiao Hei still did not disobey his master's command. He exhaled a small mouthful of Dragonflame, instantly burning a huge opening into the cage.

Using that opening, Li Xingze teleported out of the prison.

Seeing Li Xingze appear, Mu Nujiao's face was filled with astonishment. "How did you do that?"

The burning cage instantly drew the attention of every teacher and freshman. How could there be flames?

Li Xingze was a High-level Magister?

Impossible. How could there possibly be such a young High-level Magister in the world?! (P.S. Most people did not know about the Calamity Bearer Qin Yuer.)

Dual Element Talent?

Just as everyone was utterly bewildered, Dean Xiao spoke up to explain, "It was a Contract Beast!"

Upon hearing Dean Xiao's explanation, the teachers all revealed looks of realization.

It seemed that the Summoning Element was Li Xingze's primary element. Looking at it that way, having a Contract Beast was not strange at all.

"If it was a Contract Beast, then why didn't Li Xingze show it?" one teacher asked in confusion.

"There was simply no need to reveal that trump card. Watch for yourself."

Li Xingze lightly pressed the sheath of his blade against Mu Nujiao's fair, delicate collarbone, then gradually lowered his head. Less than half a foot from her jade-like face, he softly said:

"You lost."

Feeling his warm breath against her skin, a flush rose uncontrollably onto Mu Nujiao's exquisite cheeks, adding a touch of alluring charm to her already captivating beauty.

"Oh no, oh no, is Goddess Mu about to fall for him?"

"No! Losing the resources is one thing, but we can't let the Great Demon Head walk away with the beauty too!"

Hearing their wails, Mu Nujiao regained her usual cold and aloof expression, silently leaving the arena.

Yet on her way back to her seat, she could not help turning around for another look at Li Xingze.

Although Li Xingze had only defeated sixty people, no one else dared to enter the arena.

Some still refused to give up and wanted to wear him down through repeated challenges, but after seeing the Goldflame Dragon Lion's domineering aura as it looked down upon everything, they obediently gave up the idea.

They did not want to end up like those people. Aside from Goddess Mu, who was completely unharmed, everyone else had suffered badly. At the very least, they would be bedridden for two days.

The strength of Li Xingze and the Goldflame Dragon Lion was deeply imprinted in the minds of every freshman.

They absolutely could not be provoked!

Even Aristocratic Family Disciples received no mercy. He truly was a Great Demon Head.

"Challenging the whole school alone and beating them until no one dared to step up—over all these years at Pearl Institute, I'm afraid he's the only one who has managed it," Zhao Manyan said with a hint of emotion.

Mo Fan, beside him, nodded. Old Li's Summoned Beast was not the only terrifying thing about him—his own strength was equally frightening.

And that Golden Thunder was simply absurd. It even felt comparable to Mo Fan's Intermediate Magic.

Dean Xiao was not particularly surprised by Li Xingze's victory. He had seen many outstanding prodigies, and quite a few had cultivated even faster than Li Xingze, but most of them had ultimately become mediocre.

However, this was indeed the first time he had seen someone as exceptional as Li Xingze.

Possessing such formidable magical talent while still remembering to improve his own physical strength—such dedication was truly rare and precious.

"Today's Beast Arena Competition ends here. The public resources for all elements this semester will belong to the Summoning Element," Dean Xiao announced to all the freshmen.

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Summoning Element immediately became excited.

"Don't celebrate too soon. How could Li Xingze possibly be willing to share the resources with us?"

Hai Dafu looked at Li Xingze with eyes full of jealousy. That spotlight should have belonged to him, yet this guy had stolen it all for himself.

Zheng Bingxiao frowned. "Li Xingze won those resources back, so they should have belonged to him alone. It's already pretty good that we got to keep our own share."

Yang Yi and the other Summoning Element students all nodded. There had been several Intermediate-Level Mages on the other side. The students they had left probably could not even handle a single Intermediate-Level Mage.

It was already fortunate enough that they could keep part of their own resources. Wanting more would have been downright shameless.

"Hmph!" Hai Dafu snorted coldly. Those bootlickers were just afraid of offending Li Xingze.

Compared to the excited Summoning Element students, the new students from the rest of the school felt utterly miserable.

Not only had they failed to keep their resources, but they had also been challenged by a single person on behalf of the entire school. It was humiliating beyond words.

Yet there was nothing they could do. Li Xingze had genuinely taken on the whole school alone and beaten them so thoroughly that they had no room to fight back.

Some were furious that Li Xingze had taken the school's resources, and some even began slandering him in all sorts of ways. Others admired his overwhelming strength. Opinions were all over the place.

Li Xingze did not care in the slightest. His goal had already been achieved.

No one could be liked by everyone. Demanding too much would only bring unnecessary trouble.

After students from each element left one after another, Zhao Manyan grinned and slung an arm around Li Xingze's shoulder.

"Ze Ge, you're awesome. You earned so many resources this time—shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"

"You, the rich guy, need me to treat you?" Li Xingze slapped Zhao Manyan's hand away, then said, "Forget it. Let's call it a celebration for the start of school."

"Then we've got to slaughter you properly." Mo Fan flashed a wicked grin.

"Mo Fan, you pick the place."

Li Xingze did not dare let Zhao Manyan choose. What if those two ate him into bankruptcy?
