Having No Money Really Cuts Deep!

Spirit Seeds were elemental essences nurtured by heaven and earth, capable of amplifying the power of magic.

At the same time, they were generally divided into Spirit Seeds, Soul Seeds, and Heavenly Seeds!

For instance, a Lightning Element Spirit Seed could be absorbed and refined by a Lightning Element mage, ultimately increasing the power of their Lightning Element magic!

However, even the lowest-grade Spirit Seed cost around twenty million on the market!

That was why ordinary people simply could not afford them. To them, twenty million was no small sum.

But Song Jie's outrageous demand made Zhan Kong's heart bleed!!

This guy really did not hold back with him at all!

"You think I'm some rich idiot's son? Do you know how much a Spirit Seed costs?" Zhan Kong could not help but growl.

"No way, the mighty Head Instructor can't even produce a single Spirit Seed?" Song Jie looked at Zhan Kong with undisguised contempt.

Zhan Kong clenched his fists, wanting nothing more than to punch Song Jie!

He said, "You want a Spirit Seed, right? It's not impossible. But if you guess wrong, after graduation, you'll join the military under me!"

At that, Tang Yue was immediately displeased. Looking at Song Jie, she said, "Don't listen to him. Even if you win, he can't give you a Spirit Seed."

"Hey, Tang Yue, I don't like you saying that!" Zhan Kong said.

"True, the Head Instructor needs to save face too. So, can we take a look at your savings?" Song Jie asked.

Zhan Kong looked at Song Jie. This kid sounded like he was speaking up for him, but he was actually setting him up, wasn't he?

And honestly, he really could not come up with twenty million.

After all, he was only the commander of a little Bo City. How could he possibly earn twenty million?

Maybe in the past he could have managed it, but not now...

"Song Jie, Zhan Kong can't do it, but I can. Who are you betting will win?" Tang Yue asked.

At that moment, Zhan Kong became unhappy again. Who was she saying couldn't do it? Who was she saying couldn't do it?

Yet neither Song Jie nor Tang Yue paid any attention to his protesting expression.

"I think Mu Yuang has better odds. After all, he's a genius the Mu Clan has poured resources into cultivating. He definitely won't be weak," Song Jie said.

Seeing this, Tang Yue looked at him and asked, "So you're betting that Mu Yuang will win?"

None of them found Song Jie's conclusion surprising. After all, how could a student possibly compete against an entire clan?

"But! Mo Fan is my classmate, and we're even in the same dormitory. No matter what, I have to support him!" Song Jie declared with righteous conviction.

Zhan Kong and Tang Yue exchanged glances, both feeling that Song Jie was actually quite a decent person!

"They're about to begin." Zhan Kong looked toward the small plaza ahead, the battlefield for Mo Fan and Mu Yuang.

Song Jie knew who would win, so he had no intention of missing this chance to fleece someone.

"Teacher Tang Yue, do you want to bet with me?" Song Jie pressed.

After a brief pause, Tang Yue said, "We can bet, but I won't bet on who wins. If you guess right, I'll give you a Spirit Seed. If you lose, how about joining the Judgment Society after you graduate from university?"

Tang Yue naturally knew that a student could not possibly defeat an entire clan!

Even if Mo Fan had cultivated to the third level, she felt his odds were still only fifty-fifty.

After all, would Mu Zhuoyun allow himself to lose the duel? Obviously not!

The other side would definitely stop at nothing to take him down in this duel.

Although she also wanted Mo Fan to win, the current situation was still very difficult.

"Deal!" Seeing that Tang Yue had fallen into the trap, Song Jie could only tearfully accept the Spirit Seed.

The reason he had chosen to bet with Tang Yue was because Zhan Kong would most likely be unable to afford a Spirit Seed!

When the time came, he would definitely drag things out, and who knew when he would finally pay up.

"Hey, I was the one who suggested it first. Shouldn't you be betting with me?" Zhan Kong was immediately unhappy.

"And how do you know she can afford a Spirit Seed too?!"

Tang Yue turned around, looked at Zhan Kong, then took out her phone and opened an app.

"I can't see it, I can't see it." Zhan Kong hurriedly turned away, unwilling to look at all.

"Teacher Tang Yue, give me the phone. The Head Instructor must be too far away. I'll bring it right up in front of him," Song Jie said.

Zhan Kong reached out and hooked an arm around Song Jie's neck. "You little brat, are you asking for a beating?!"

"Stop fooling around. It looks like Mo Fan is about to lose."

Tang Yue's voice suddenly rang out. Zhan Kong released Song Jie and looked toward the plaza.

"Damn it, the Mu Clan is too shameless! They're actually using a Defensive Magic Tool!" Zhan Kong cursed without holding back.

If Mo Fan lost, Song Jie would be a bargain for the Judgment Society. He really could not bear that!

"Song Jie, when you join the Judgment Society, I definitely won't treat you badly," Tang Yue said with a smile.

"Looks like Teacher Tang Yue and I can become colleagues in the future," Song Jie said with a grin.

Who wouldn't want to become colleagues with a beauty who wore black stockings to work every day?

Of course, he was only being polite. After all, he knew the plot.

Meanwhile, Zhan Kong stood nearby, consumed by regret. Why was he so damn poor?!

At the same time, someone in the crowd suddenly cried out, "Isn't he a Fire Element mage? How did he cast Lightning Element magic?!"

In an instant, the crowd erupted, because Mo Fan had actually cast Lightning Element magic!

"He actually has two Elements? Could he be an Intermediate Mage?"

"The cultivation he's displayed isn't that of an Intermediate Mage!" Principal Zhu of Tian Lan Magic High School said excitedly.

"Not an Intermediate Mage?"

Principal Zhu said, "That's right. He isn't an Intermediate Mage—he has an Innate Dual Element!"

Innate Dual Element!?

As the name implied, it meant being born with two magical Elements!

Everyone who heard this revealed astonishment.

An Innate Dual Element was, without a doubt, an extraordinary talent!!

At that moment, Tang Yue and Zhan Kong's eyes were filled with shock. Mo Fan's Innate Dual Element was simply too rare!

First Song Jie, then Mo Fan—Tian Lan Magic High School was about to defy the heavens!!

And at this point, Tang Yue seemed to have forgotten the bet she had just made with Song Jie.

Zhan Kong sucked in a cold breath. He felt that Song Jie must have known something, or he would never have made that bet with them.

After all, the other party had never wanted to enlist in the military or join the Judgment Society from the very beginning!

"Tang Yue, looks like you got played," Zhan Kong said gleefully.

But Tang Yue did not care in the slightest. Looking at Song Jie, she said, "Consider this Spirit Seed a graduation gift from your teacher."

The moment she said that, Zhan Kong's smile vanished, and his heart hurt even more.

That cut deep!

"Thank you, Teacher Tang Yue!" Song Jie wore a grateful expression. Having a rich older woman to rely on really was great!

The duel between the two below the stage had already ended, with Mo Fan emerging as the final winner.

"Old dog Mu, shouldn't you fulfill your promise now?" Mo Fan shouted at Mu Zhuoyun on the stage.

Mu Zhuoyun's face turned livid. Back when they had made the bet, if Mo Fan won, he would kneel and apologize to Mo Fan's father.

Song Jie did not continue watching the grudge between Mo Fan and Mu Zhuoyun. Instead, he began discussing the Spirit Seed with Tang Yue.

This time, he had gotten a Spirit Seed for free. No matter what, he had to secure it first.
