Mu Ningxue: I Don't Believe It

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The surging thunder even left crack after crack across the light barrier.

However, the power of that lightning strike was clearly still insufficient to break through the defense.

After the lightning faded, the light barrier dissipated. Lu Zhenghe, who had still been wearing an arrogant expression moments ago, was already sitting on the ground, while his Ghost Wolf Beast had been so frightened that it had curled into a ball.

Chen Lang turned to look at the New Student Director.

Fortunately, if he had not intervened just now, the Ghost Wolf Beast would already have been a charred corpse.

"Student Chen, this was only a friendly spar. Was there any need to go that far?"

The New Student Director was still shaken. He had not expected Chen Lang to act so decisively. If he had not intervened in time, Lu Zhenghe would probably have been crippled...

"I only saw that this student had great confidence in his Summoned Beast, so I used Intermediate Magic," Chen Lang said casually.

Hearing this, the New Student Director could not say anything more. He turned and said, "All right, Student Lu Zhenghe, come down."

Lu Zhenghe was already somewhat dazed.

He was still muttering, "Impossible."

Intermediate Magic!

How could this person have mastered Intermediate Magic at such a young age?

He had not even seen the other party draw a Star Map!

This point had not only shocked Lu Zhenghe. Everyone present was deeply moved by it.

At the same age, it was already an impressive achievement for them to reach the Intermediate Level. Yet this person had already mastered such powerful Intermediate Magic...

With Chen Lang's strength and speed at drawing a Star Map, even some teachers might not necessarily be his match, right?

"We concede." Teacher Li of Class Three had completely lost all hope by this point and immediately spoke up.

A competition concerning the classes had ended just like that. Chen Lang had already become famous throughout the Green Campus on his very first day of enrollment.

When Chen Lang came down from the arena, Teacher Zhao, who had kept a cold expression before, was now beaming as he said, "Student Chen Lang, thanks for the effort..."

He had never imagined that they would win so easily.

Without Chen Lang, there was probably no one in their class who could stand against Lu Zhenghe's Ghost Wolf Beast.

"Teacher Zhao, I actually preferred the way you treated me before."

Zhao Qing looked slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.

Compared with Zhao Qing, the other students' eyes were filled with nothing but admiration.

"Student Chen Lang, you... how did you cultivate? You released Intermediate Magic even faster than I release Primary Magic!!"

Someone quickly voiced their question as well.

Chen Lang casually replied, "Oh, my innate talent is One Thought Star Chart."

Some things could not be hidden, so there was no point in being coy about them.

Moreover, as long as one worked hard, even some ordinary mages could eventually achieve this kind of talent.

So it was nothing extraordinary. At most, Chen Lang had simply enjoyed this process earlier than others.

Of course, judging from the current situation, Chen Lang might even have One Thought Constellation at the High-level!

Because of Black Annihilation, the Star Seeds were like servants to him. With nothing more than a thought, he could complete the assembly of the Star Map.

One Thought Star Track and One Thought Star Chart were not particularly remarkable talents. If things continued like this, however, this talent would be absolutely monstrous!

"Gasp... One Thought Star Chart!!!"

After the New Student Director came down, he was also astonished when he heard what Chen Lang had said.

With such a talent, Chen Lang would probably have few opponents among his peers!

"..."

As everyone gathered around Chen Lang, Mu Ningxue's icy eyes were also filled with shock.

She had been recruited from the small city of Bocheng into the Imperial Capital Academy in the great imperial capital.

She had discovered that geniuses truly seemed to be everywhere here. Yet even though these people's cultivation was not weak, after sparring and growing through one contest after another, she had already reached the top of the Green Campus.

She had caught up from behind, and she believed that she had no equal among her peers.

Her current cultivation was actually driven by the Cold Demon inside her body, which constantly pushed her onward.

If she did not work hard to improve, the Cold Demon would torment her without restraint.

For a long time, Mu Ningxue had felt that perhaps she cultivated merely to resist the backlash within her.

But unexpectedly... today, this man who had clearly harbored impure intentions toward her from the moment they first met had displayed strength that even she found astonishing.

They were clearly the same age, yet judging from Chen Lang's performance today, the gap between them was worlds apart...

At this moment, she suddenly felt that cultivation had become meaningful.

She could chase after him and surpass him, rather than cultivate because of the Cold Demon that drove her onward.

Of course, even though she had gained a new understanding of Chen Lang, it was limited solely to his strength. Other than that, there was nothing else.

On the way back, Chen Lang walked beside Mu Ningxue and said with a grin, "How was it? Were you dazzled by my strength? Did you feel like worshipping me?"

"Cringe."

Mu Ningxue glanced at the incessantly chattering Chen Lang and replied coldly.

The corner of Chen Lang's mouth twitched.

"I don't want to be this cringe either. I just want to be friends with you."

"Just friends?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Out of your league."

Mu Ningxue was not foolish. Especially after coming to the Imperial Capital Academy, she had gained an even clearer understanding of her own family.

In Bocheng, she had been a little princess.

In the imperial capital, she was actually nothing more than an ordinary commoner.

Someone like Chen Lang could never have any result with her.

Chen Lang had naturally expected that he might be rejected, but he had not expected to be rejected like this...

Chen Lang stopped and asked directly, "Is it only because of that?"

Mu Ningxue stopped as well. She looked at him seriously and said, "My other half only needs to satisfy my family. My family certainly wouldn't object to you. On the contrary, what about yours?"

Everything she had now had been provided by her family, given to her by her father, Mu Zhuoyun.

Mu Zhuoyun had only one daughter, so she naturally needed to repay him. After all, besides being her father, he was also the head of the clan.

(Note: The original work made it very clear that Mu Ningxue had never considered being with Mo Fan. Mo Fan simply fawned over her all the way to the end.

At this point in time, Mu Ningxue perhaps only felt a certain guilt toward Mo Fan from their childhood, and nothing more.)

"I have no problem with it either," Chen Lang said immediately.

Upon hearing Chen Lang's answer, Mu Ningxue's expression changed slightly for once.

Her brows furrowed faintly, and her face was filled with disbelief at Chen Lang's words.

Even someone from her small family had to abide by all kinds of rules and restrictions. How could the great clan behind Chen Lang possibly allow him to decide his own marriage?

"I don't believe it," Mu Ningxue said calmly.

She was not talking about romance with Chen Lang. At this point, she truly had no such intention.

But sooner or later, everyone would have to go through something like this. If possible, Chen Lang was undoubtedly suitable.

He had extraordinary talent and an excellent family background. Although she was not especially obsessed with looks, Chen Lang undoubtedly matched her aesthetic preferences.

Unfortunately, she did not believe what Chen Lang had said. In her view, he was merely coveting her appearance...
