The elasticity is still pretty good! (2nd update)

Just get it done?

Hearing that, Mu Lei hurriedly asked, "You mean your Summoning Element will continue with the Freshman Welcoming Program?"

Song Jie nodded.

Mu Lei reminded him, "Song Jie, this isn't a joke. If you can't defeat a hundred people, your Summoning Element's resources will be gone!"

Song Jie smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a meaningful look.

Mu Lei looked at that smile, narrowed his eyes, and frowned slightly. "Your Summoned Beast hasn't broken through to the Advanced Stage, has it?"

If that was the case, Song Jie really might be able to take on a hundred by himself!

Song Jie replied, "It should be able to break through to the Advanced Stage before the Freshman Welcoming Program starts."

"I'm treating you as a good brother. Don't tell anyone else and stab me in the back."

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." As soon as Mu Lei said that, the worry in his heart vanished completely.

The two chatted for a while, then went out to eat together.

As long as Song Jie won the Beast Fighting Competition this time, his cultivation resources would be extremely substantial.

Needless to say, there would be Beast Refining Blood. When the time came, both Little Green and the Wind Riding Sky Eagle would get some.

More importantly, he could enter the Three-step Tower to cultivate!

This Three-step Tower was similar to entering the Sacred Spring to cultivate, allowing one's strength to increase rapidly!

So if he could enter the Three-step Tower to cultivate, his cultivation should improve greatly in no time!

His Light Element was already very close to the second level. With the boost from the Three-step Tower, he should be able to enter the second level very soon!

Song Jie had also come to terms with it. He had once wondered whether he should suppress his cultivation and let the system keep metamorphosing.

But he realized that increasing his strength was the foundation. As for the system's metamorphosis boosts, he had plenty of time anyway. Sooner or later, all his skills would be boosted once!

When that happened, he would be the Magic God of this world!!

However, he was still far too distant from that position right now. He would take things one step at a time first.

Time flew by, and the years slipped past.

Two months later, Green Campus finally welcomed the Freshman Welcoming Program.

Song Jie was cultivating, but the students had already erupted into an uproar.

They all knew there was only one person in the Summoning Element, so they had thought the Freshman Welcoming Program there would be canceled!

But to their surprise, not only was this Freshman Welcoming Program not canceled, that Summoning Element student was also going to accept challenges from the freshmen of Green Campus!

What shocked them even more was that if he could take on a hundred by himself, he would receive all the resources for every freshman element!

If he could take on two hundred by himself, the older students' resources would also belong to him!

If he could take on two hundred and fifty by himself, Professor Deng would even give him a spiritual magic tool!

Once this bombshell dropped, both the freshmen and the older students of Green Campus were amused by the news.

Taking on a hundred alone was one thing!

But there was actually taking on two hundred? Taking on two hundred and fifty?!

"That lone seedling of the Summoning Element really dares to ask for it!" someone sneered disdainfully.

Someone else said unhappily, "Does he really think all our elements are useless? This is Pearl Academy!!"

"Damn it, I have to get onstage when the time comes and show him the price of running his mouth!" someone said angrily.

The freshmen were all brimming with fighting spirit, while the older students did not take it seriously.

Forget taking on two hundred by himself—they had never even seen one person take on a hundred alone.

While everyone was discussing Song Jie, he was currently cultivating in the dormitory.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host. "Light Blessing Sacred Shield" has undergone an Outrageous Metamorphosis into the higher-level "Light Blessing Double Sacred Shield"!]

Hearing this, Song Jie could tell what the Double Sacred Shield was about. It was simply double the defense!

After familiarizing himself with the skill, he knew this Double Sacred Shield could block second-level Intermediate attack magic!

"Not bad!" Song Jie nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, he had also obtained one chance at an Outrageous Metamorphosis the previous month.

This chance had been used on the Summoning Element, so he had gained another Summoning Element skill.

Skill Stealing!

He already knew how to use this skill. It was to steal one skill from a Summoned Beast!

This skill could only steal one skill. He had been using the Wind Riding Sky Eagle for experiments all this time!

In the end, he had actually managed to steal the skill of flight from it!

Stolen skills could be saved for a period of time. Only after the stealing mark dispersed would he need to steal them again.

However, stolen skills had limits on time and uses. The duration increased according to the strength of the Summoned Beast, while the usage limit was only once per day.

Song Jie had tested it in the Dormitory. He could use Flight for thirty seconds.

It was a little short, but sometimes it could be quite useful. It counted as a trump card.

Just then, Mu Lei came back from outside and looked up at Song Jie on the upper bunk.

He asked with a smile, "Jiao Jiao came to see me. Want to come out for dinner with us?"

Mu Nu Jiao was here?

Song Jie's stomach chose that exact moment to growl shamelessly.

His stomach really had no self-control!

The two set off together and soon arrived downstairs.

At the Dormitory entrance, they saw Mu Nu Jiao not far away. She wore a pleated short skirt on her lower half, while her upper half was still dressed in a white shirt, looking delicate and charming.

However, Song Jie could tell that it seemed to be a high school uniform. It really had a distinctive charm to it.

When the boys coming and going saw her, they nearly couldn't keep walking.

"Long time no see." Song Jie walked up to Mu Nu Jiao and greeted her first.

"Long time no see."

Mu Nu Jiao kept her composure, but for some reason, whenever she saw Song Jie, her heart always thumped wildly.

Mu Lei didn't want to watch the two of them silently stare at each other, so he interrupted, "I'm starving already. Let's hurry up and eat!"

A while later, they arrived at a decent restaurant and ordered quite a lot of food.

After Mu Lei finished eating, he pretended to take a call, then left in a hurry.

Song Jie and Mu Nu Jiao came out of the restaurant, and the two of them strolled along the roadside.

"I heard from Brother Lei that you're going to deal with the students of the entire department by yourself?" Mu Nu Jiao turned her head and asked.

Song Jie nodded. "Yes. The Beast Fighting Competition is tomorrow. Will you come watch?"

"I will. Brother Lei said he'd bring me in then." Mu Nu Jiao nodded.

"Everyone else thinks I'll lose. Do you think I'll win?" Song Jie asked with a smile.

"I believe you can do it!" Mu Nu Jiao answered without the slightest hesitation.

"You believe in me that much?"

Mu Nu Jiao explained, "You managed to turn danger into safety in such a dangerous situation before. Could this Beast Fighting Competition be even more dangerous than that?"

"That makes sense."

Song Jie smiled gently, then immediately pretended to be somewhat downcast and said, "It's just that I still don't have much confidence."

Hearing this, Mu Nu Jiao had already sensed Song Jie's dejection. She comforted him, "Just do your best."

Song Jie nodded, sighed, and said, "When I think about having to take on a hundred people by myself tomorrow, I get a little nervous. If only someone could hug me."

He was teasing Mu Nu Jiao.

Hearing this, Mu Nu Jiao lowered her head, thinking about something.

Song Jie had said this only to her. She wasn't stupid; she could hear some of the meaning beneath his words.

The car Mu Nu Jiao had taken here was parked at the school gate, so they returned here again.

"I'll see you off here," Song Jie said, turning around and smiling at Mu Nu Jiao.

"Okay." Mu Nu Jiao felt a little nervous. She herself didn't know what was going on. Every time she was with Song Jie, it was as if she lost the ability to think.

Seeing that Song Jie was about to leave, Mu Nu Jiao called out to stop him.

Song Jie turned around and said, "What is it?"

Just then, Mu Nu Jiao quickly stepped forward and suddenly reached out her arms to hug him.

The next second, she let go, turned around, and ran toward the car. She opened the door and quickly slipped inside.

Mu Nu Jiao's pretty face was slightly hot at this moment, two blushes dyeing her cheeks red.

She tried her best to calm herself down and thought inwardly, He saved me twice. I only hugged him once. It's nothing.

Song Jie looked at the car driving away. That hug just now had truly been beyond his expectations.

"Nice bounce," Song Jie said, then turned and entered the gates of Pearl Academy.
