Zhao Qing's arrangement directly left Liao Mingxuan somewhat dumbfounded.

Shouldn't he have been the one to go first?

Zhao Qing had no intention of explaining himself to him, merely signaling for Chen Lang to enter the battle now.

The reason for this arrangement was actually that he wanted to see whether this fellow truly was a spoiled second-generation rich kid.

If he really was a useless good-for-nothing, he might still have had an opportunity later to use this to lodge a complaint of dissatisfaction with the school administration.

If not... well, Zhao Qing hadn't thought about that at all. This was because, on Chen Lang, the cultivation fluctuations were very weak.

After all, with his own strength at the Intermediate Level full completion, he wouldn't think that a student like Chen Lang could have any talk of concealment in front of him.

Although Chen Lang looked very calm on the surface at this moment, inside, he was actually blooming with joy.

This opportunity to act cool, didn't it just arrive right here!

"Do you have a problem?" Seeing Chen Lang standing motionless right there, Zhao Qing's tone carried a hint of sternness.

It seemed as though he felt Chen Lang had stage fright?

"None."

"Then why aren't you going up?"

"Coming."

After acknowledging, Chen Lang walked straight toward the arena stage.

Having arrived on the stage, Chen Lang looked at the straight-faced Zhao Qing over there, suddenly feeling that this teacher was a really great person!

This was forcefully shoving an opportunity into his hands so he could go up and act cool.

"Quick look, the opposing side is sending someone up..."

"It's Ming Cong from Class 3!!"

"The opposing side arranged a seeded competitor right off the bat!"

When Liao Mingxuan saw it was Ming Cong, he was also slightly surprised.

He thought the other side would first arrange some small fries, not expecting it to actually be Ming Cong. As far as he knew, Ming Cong should have already reached the Intermediate Level...

Even though he might not have mastered a Star Map yet, he truly and certainly was an Intermediate Mage.

Someone suddenly said, "I wonder what kind of strength this new Young Master Chen of ours has. I'm afraid he's going to be one-shotted in a second later, right?"

"Coming from the Bashu Chen Clan, he shouldn't be that frail... I reckon he can last two or three moves."

"..."

"Silence!"

When everyone started discussing animatedly, Zhao Qing spoke coldly.

Even though he disliked this kind of spoiled second-generation rich kid, no matter what, he was still a student in his own class, and he didn't like this kind of scene.

Following Teacher Zhao speaking, the others also very sensibly shut their mouths.

On the other side, on the stage.

After Ming Cong from Class 3 stepped onto the stage, he was also somewhat surprised, because from his perspective, the one stepping up first would definitely be that show-off Liao Mingxuan.

Yet he never expected it to be a newly enrolled freshman?

At this instant, Ming Cong felt very bored.

As both of them stepped onto the stage, the Green Campus Director acting as the referee spoke, "Both sides prepare!"

Ming Cong didn't seem to have any intention of making preparations, instead adopting the posture of a victor, "Classmate, before you get injured, get down. When I generally strike, I won't hold back."

Chen Lang was full of smiles, just like looking at an idiot.

Ming Cong naturally also noticed the mockery in his smile, but in his view, a competitor who could be taken out in a second with a casual wave was nothing more than throwing a tantrum out of helplessness.

"Begin!"

The Green Campus Director spoke, but Chen Lang still remained unmoved.

On the contrary, Ming Cong was rapidly connecting Star Trails at this moment. While portraying the Star Trails, a ruthless glint even surfaced on his face.

"I gave you a chance, but you're useless. Go lie down on a bed!"

"Thunder Seal - Rage Strike!"

The purple lightning mark twisted its body, transmitting randomly across the arena. For a moment, right under Chen Lang's feet were entirely long strings of electric arcs, emitting a crackling sound!

"Zizizi..."

The moment those lightning strikes hit Chen Lang's body, the imagined roaring sound did not ring out.

Even Ming Cong's Thunder Power seemed to have vanished into thin air.

This scene left everyone present stunned, and even that Green Campus Director felt somewhat incredible!

Clearly, Chen Lang hadn't done anything, but why hadn't Ming Cong's attack played any role at all?

Although Chen Lang hadn't suffered any attacks, there was still a slight trace of rising mist lingering on his body after being washed over by lightning.

With Black Annihilation on him, and having Intermediate-level cultivation, this mere Beginner-level lightning magic simply couldn't harm him in the slightest.

"Playing with thunder in front of me, are you even worthy?"

While Chen Lang spoke, a Star Trail flashed and vanished. Following his extending a hand to point toward the sky, denser lightning marks appeared overhead.

"Zizizi..."

"Ronglonglong~~!!!"

Following the slight rumbling noise, the surrounding lightning frantically converged toward Ming Cong.

Ming Cong was utterly dumbfounded; he never imagined that this freshman not only unflinchingly took a wave of his 'ultimate move' but could also immediately launch a counterattack?

Almost instantly, he put on a piece of armor magic tool.

"Boom!!!"

Yet the moment that lightning crashed against his body, he discovered that Chen Lang's lightning was black!

Moreover, the power of this Thunder Seal was twice his own!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

"Ah ah ah!!!"

The Thunder Seal burst open, muffled thunderclaps and screams ringing out at practically the exact same time.

Although he had magical armor on his body, obviously, defending against the Thunder Power was not its strong suit. Being a lightning-element mage, because he knew Class 1 didn't have any strong lightning mages, he hadn't prepared that kind of heavy defensive armor magic tool.

"Plop!"

When the explosive power of the Thunder Seal completely concluded, Ming Cong was already aching all over and passed out on the spot.

The scene fell incomparably silent for a moment, especially those people who had previously been talking about whether Chen Lang would be taken out in two or three seconds. At this time, they didn't even dare to draw a loud breath.

This was no spoiled second-generation rich kid at all; this was clearly a powerful dragon crossing the river.

Chen Lang casually finished off his opponent, yet discovering that the director acting as the referee still hadn't spoken, asked, "Director, you haven't announced the result yet. Are you planning on making me keep striking?"

"Ah... Oh, this match, Chen Lang of Class 1 wins!" The director also snapped back to his senses, immediately having the Healing System teacher step forward to heal while hurriedly announcing it at the same time.

This Green Campus Director was also a High-level Mage. Even though he wasn't particularly worldly, he still possessed several decades of life experience.

Yet today's absurd matter was definitely the first time he had ever encountered it!

Finding it somewhat incomprehensible, the director inquired, "Student Chen Lang, just now..."

Chen Lang frowned. This New Student Director's brain must have been fried, wanting to know about every single thing?

Although displeased, he still casually brushed him off with a perfunctory remark, "Oh, his lightning element is too weak, I can withstand it."

Director Zhou Peng also reacted. How could someone else's secrets be something he could casually pry into?

However, at this moment, he finally believed the rumors: the Chen Clan really had produced an incredible monster!

Chen Lang was not very surprised by the reactions of these people, as this was a result he had anticipated long ago.

Down below.

At this moment, Zhao Qing was also completely dumbfounded. He truly hadn't expected that this Chen family kid who looked like a spoiled second-generation rich kid actually possessed such strength?

Had his own judgment been off?

Just now, at the moment Chen Lang made his move, that aura was by no means that of any Beginner Mage. He had originally thought a hot potato had been dumped into his hands, but never expected it to actually be a treasure!
