Beast Fighting Competition To Be Canceled? (4th update)

After getting familiar with the skill, Song Jie did not dwell on it too much and began his next round of cultivation.

However, he was rather looking forward to what the Outrageous Metamorphosis of the Light Element's Intermediate Level Magic would be like.

After all, the Basic Level had already given him such a huge surprise. The Intermediate Level should not be bad either.

With that thought in mind, Song Jie soon closed his eyes and cultivated.

Once he settled his mind, time passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the dark night outside had quietly turned into daylight.

After Song Jie woke up, he walked to the window and glanced at the slowly rising sun outside.

"I should go report in."

Today was Pearl Academy's registration day, so after washing up and eating outside, he headed toward Pearl Academy.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw students coming and going.

"There are quite a lot of people," Song Jie murmured, then turned and entered Pearl Academy.

Because he was the only seedling in the Summoning Element, he went straight to the head of the Summoning Element to report in.

He found his way to the office area with ease, then located Jiang Yunming's office.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The door was knocked on. Jiang Yunming said, "Come in," and Song Jie walked in from outside.

"Student, you are...?" Jiang Yunming asked as he looked at Song Jie.

Song Jie said, "Hello, Director. I'm Song Jie, here to report in for the Summoning Element."

"So you're Song Jie!" A smile appeared on Jiang Yunming's face as he stood up and walked toward him.

"Come, sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water." Jiang Yunming walked toward the water dispenser and took out a cup.

Seeing Jiang Yunming being so polite, Song Jie felt that Dean Xiao must have already given him a heads-up.

Although they had spoken on the phone before, they were not familiar to this extent.

Song Jie smiled and said, "Director, there's no need to be so polite."

"Right, how is your Summoned Beast?" Jiang Yunming asked.

Song Jie replied, "With your help that time, Director, I already have my own Summoned Beast."

"What type of Summoned Beast is it?" Jiang Yunming asked curiously.

"Plant Element."

"Plant Element?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yunming could not help nodding. "A Plant Element Summoned Beast isn't bad either. If you nurture it well, it can also become a great help to you."

Song Jie nodded lightly.

Jiang Yunming looked at Song Jie, hesitating at this moment, as if wanting to speak but stopping himself.

Song Jie noticed as well and asked, "What is it, Director?"

"The academy has always had a special Freshman Welcoming Program set up for our Summoning Element."

At this point, Jiang Yunming could not help sighing. "But now the Summoning Element only has you, a single seedling. I'm afraid it can't be carried out."

Hearing this, Song Jie already knew what Jiang Yunming was talking about. It was precisely that Beast Fighting Competition!

He thought back carefully and soon remembered the reward for the Beast Fighting Competition.

If he performed outstandingly, it seemed he could obtain Beast Refining Blood.

This Beast Refining Blood could greatly increase a Summoned Beast's strength, and even allow it to advance from the peak of the Servant level to General-level!

How could Song Jie possibly miss out on something so good?

But before that, he had to ask clearly about the reward first. Otherwise, all his effort would be wasted.

Song Jie pretended not to know and asked, "Director, what is this Freshman Welcoming Program?"

After that, Jiang Yunming explained the Beast Fighting Competition to him.

"No way. If I don't defeat at least one hundred people, they'll take away the Summoning Element's resources?" Song Jie said with an indignant expression.

Jiang Yunming also sighed. This was exactly what he was worried about.

How could Song Jie defeat one hundred people by himself?

Wasn't that absurd?

So he planned to go speak with Dean Xiao and ask whether this program could be canceled.

"Song Jie, don't worry. I won't let them bully our Summoning Element," Jiang Yunming said.

Song Jie looked at Jiang Yunming and guessed that he might go to Dean Xiao to ask him to cancel the program.

Jiang Yunming said, "Since you're here, come with me to the dean's office."

"Okay."

Song Jie nodded and followed Jiang Yunming out of the office.

A short while later, the two of them arrived at the dean's office.

Song Jie could vaguely hear people talking inside.

After Jiang Yunming knocked and waited for Dean Xiao's response, he opened the door and walked in.

"Ah, all the department deans are here too?" Jiang Yunming put on a professional smile and nodded to the department deans.

Song Jie looked up and saw several familiar old faces—especially the dean of the Light Element, who was glaring at him with undisguised irritation.

It was obvious!

The old man was still angry over why he had chosen the Summoning Element instead of the Light Element!

"Director Jiang, is something the matter?" Dean Xiao asked, looking at Jiang Yunming.

"Dean Xiao, here's the situation. Our Summoning Element only has Song Jie as its sole seedling. I came here to ask whether this Freshman Welcoming Program can be canceled," Jiang Yunming said.

When everyone present heard that, they could not help looking at one another.

Old Deng, the dean of the Light Element, said, "Director Jiang, I'm afraid that won't do, will it? After all, this is a tradition Pearl Academy has upheld for generations, and it's not as if your Summoning Element has no one. I think it should continue."

When the others saw Old Deng suddenly speak up, smiles appeared on all their faces.

They all knew Old Deng was an extremely petty man, and most people generally did not dare provoke him.

Besides, if the Summoning Element continued with this Freshman Welcoming Program, it would benefit them too, and they would not even have to play the villain.

"Dean Deng, our Summoning Element only has one person, and Song Jie only obtained his Summoned Beast not long ago. How could he possibly defeat a hundred students?" Jiang Yunming said with a bitter smile.

Song Jie said nothing and merely watched from the side. This old man was clearly targeting him.

"Student Song Jie isn't only from the Summoning Element. He also has a mutated Light Element. His strength is hardly weak," Old Deng continued.

Jiang Yunming still wore a bitter smile. Even an Intermediate Mage could not possibly defeat a hundred students in a row.

If one used too many magic skills, their Magic Energy would also run dry.

And Pearl Academy was a top-ten academy. Everyone who came here to study was an outstanding student from somewhere.

Therefore, Jiang Yunming believed Song Jie could not possibly defeat a hundred people!

Jiang Yunming no longer wanted to argue with Old Deng. Instead, he looked at Dean Xiao and said, "Dean Xiao, the Summoning Element is already short on resources. If we lose these resources too, Song Jie's Summoning Element will..."

Old Deng spoke as if earnestly giving advice. "Director Jiang, you can't make a student back down just for the sake of resources. If he runs into difficulties in the future, will he back down then too?"

Jiang Yunming said nothing and looked pleadingly at Dean Xiao.

"Enough."

Dean Xiao stood up, looked at Song Jie, and said, "As for whether the Summoning Element participates in the Freshman Welcoming Program, let Song Jie decide for himself."

As soon as those words came out, everyone present looked at Song Jie, all of them feeling somewhat expectant.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunming could not help letting out a breath of relief. He felt Song Jie would probably choose not to participate.

"Dean, I think this rule isn't very fair," Song Jie said, raising the issue directly.

"Not fair?" Dean Xiao was slightly startled and said, "What are your thoughts?"

"Why is it that if the Summoning Element fails to defeat a hundred people, it gets no resources, and those resources are then shared among the other elements?"

Song Jie went on, "But if the Summoning Element does defeat a hundred people, what does the Summoning Element get? It gets nothing. That isn't fair!"
