Everyone heard the anger in Song Jie's tone, but none of them took it seriously.
Because all of them thought it was impossible for Song Jie to defeat a hundred students.
Old Deng smiled and looked at Song Jie. "Oh? Then what do you suggest?"
"If I defeat a hundred students, all the resources for every Element in your year go to me," Song Jie said, glancing back at Old Deng.
Seeing Song Jie make such an outrageous demand, Old Deng and the others dismissed it.
"I remember the Beast Fighting Competition has a rule. If you beat two hundred people, you can take all the resources for every Element among the freshmen," an old man said.
Jiang Yunming froze when he heard Song Jie say this.
He had not expected Song Jie to turn around and demand the resources of every Element. The boy really had nerve.
However, since this was Song Jie's own choice, he could not very well say anything.
"Dean Xiao, there's only one person in our Summoning Element. Winning against a hundred people is already excessive. If Song Jie has to beat two hundred, that's a bit too much," Jiang Yunming pleaded on Song Jie's behalf.
No one spoke. They all looked toward Dean Xiao.
"What does everyone think?" Dean Xiao looked at Old Deng and the others as he asked.
Old Deng said magnanimously, "Since the Summoning Element only has one person, let's set his target at a hundred."
The others smiled faintly and remained silent.
Seeing that they had taken the bait, Song Jie went on, "Then what if I win against two hundred people?"
As soon as these words came out, Old Deng Tou nearly burst out laughing, but he held it in.
"Song Jie, do you know what two hundred people means?" an old man asked, looking at him.
However, Old Deng Tou hurriedly interrupted the old man and looked at Song Jie with a beaming smile. "Then what do you propose?"
Song Jie said directly, "Give me the resources for the older students too."
Since he had already offended the freshmen, he might as well give the older students some special attention too.
At Pearl Academy, there was one opportunity each year to enter the Main Campus.
But to enter the Main Campus, the requirement was that the student had to reach Intermediate Mage level.
Students who failed to meet that requirement would continue staying in the Green Campus, and the school would give them three more years to cultivate.
If they reached Intermediate level, they could enter the Main Campus. If they did not, they could only leave.
Therefore, there were well over ten thousand older students in the Green Campus.
And when Old Deng Tou heard this demand from Song Jie, he finally could not help but laugh.
"Song Jie, I'm not trying to undermine your confidence, but do you really think you can do it?"
Old Deng Tou said earnestly, "People need to keep their feet on the ground and take things one step at a time. Not everyone can reach the heavens in a single bound."
"Dean Deng is right, but as for me, I just like having something to look forward to," Song Jie said with a smile.
Old Deng Tou shook his head and sneered. "Your proposal isn't bad. I agree!"
Song Jie said, "It won't do if you're the only one who agrees. The deans of the other Elements haven't agreed yet."
Old Deng Tou looked at them. "What do you say?"
"Then we'll agree to it."
"I'm quite looking forward to seeing how Song Jie can beat two hundred people too."
"I agree as well."
The Element deans present all gave their replies.
Seeing this, Song Jie smiled faintly and looked at Dean Xiao. "Dean Xiao, you saw it too. They all agreed to this themselves."
Dean Xiao studied Song Jie. He did not know what the other party was scheming.
Could Song Jie really have the ability to defeat two hundred people?
In the end, Dean Xiao still nodded and gave his acknowledgment.
Song Jie looked at Old Deng Tou and smiled. "Dean Deng, I feel like something's still missing. Why don't we make a bet?"
Old Deng Tou said indifferently, "Young people should still keep to reality, but letting you take a fall will help you too. Go on, what kind of bet do you want to make?"
"If I defeat two hundred and fifty people, Dean Deng will give me a spirit-type magic tool," Song Jie said.
"Fine!" Old Deng Tou agreed without the slightest concern.
However, the others noticed something strange. They looked at Song Jie and felt as though he was unbelievably confident.
But they had already made their promises, and it would be unreasonable to take them back.
Song Jie was laughing inside. He would definitely make a killing in this Beast Fighting Competition!!
He looked at Jiang Yunming and put on a troubled expression. "Director Jiang, I'll definitely give it my all in this welcoming event and won't embarrass the Summoning Element!"
Jiang Yunming smiled bitterly, but this was already irreversible. He could only nod and accept it.
Dean Xiao said, "All right, you may leave. Song Jie, you still have time to prepare. Cultivate properly during this period."
Song Jie and Jiang Yunming walked out of the dean's office, the latter looking deeply troubled.
"Song Jie, why did you just..." Jiang Yunming started, then stopped, and finally sighed.
"Director, don't worry. I'm confident I can raise my Summoned Beast to the Advanced Stage before the Freshman Welcome Assembly," Song Jie said.
When Jiang Yunming heard that, the worry on his face faded, as if he had seen hope.
"Really?" Jiang Yunming asked excitedly, grabbing Song Jie by the shoulders.
"Otherwise, how would I dare make a bet with those old guys?" Song Jie said with a smile.
Suddenly, Jiang Yunming clenched his fists in excitement, already looking forward to the upcoming welcome program.
If Song Jie's Summoned Beast reached the Advanced Stage, maybe it really could defeat a hundred people!
Song Jie had already completed his enrollment registration, and Jiang Yunming arranged accommodation for him.
Pearl Academy did not allow students to live off campus during the first semester, so students could only stay at the school for one semester.
Since the Summoning Element had only this one lone seedling, Song Jie was therefore assigned to a mixed dorm.
With those dorm room keys in hand, he soon arrived at the floor his dorm room was on.
317.
Room 17 on the third floor.
Song Jie had just arrived at the dorm room door and swept his gaze across the room when he saw a familiar face.
"Mu Lei?"
"You finally showed up!" Mu Lei said with a grin.
Song Jie asked, "Why are you in the same dorm room as me?"
"Special means. You're the only lone seedling in your Summoning Element, so it was very easy for me to manipulate," Mu Lei said, giving Song Jie a look.
"Must be nice to have money," Song Jie sighed, then started sorting out his luggage.
There were only the two of them in the dorm room, but after a while, the other two arrived one after another as well.
After Song Jie got a simple understanding of things, they each went about their own business.
Seeing Song Jie stop, Mu Lei walked over, slung an arm around his shoulders, and said, "How's it going with Jiaojiao?"
"Not bad, I guess."
Mu Lei did not believe him at all. That night, he had watched Mu Nu Jiao come back with a balloon, her face full of smiles.
Not bad, I guess?
Not even a dog would believe that.
He went on, "Song Jie, Jiaojiao still isn't an adult yet. Take it easy."
"Mu Lei, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Song Jie said righteously.
Mu Lei quickly explained, "I just think Jiaojiao is too pretty, and I'm afraid you won't be able to hold back."
But the next second, he continued, "However, I believe you're definitely not that kind of person!"
"That's more like it."
Seeing that Song Jie's anger had faded, Mu Lei then asked, "Song Jie, how are you going to handle that matter with your Summoning Element?"
"Just fight and be done with it!" Song Jie said frankly.
