Are You All Cowards? Ding Yumian Loses Control!

"Is he the one who said he wanted to challenge all of us freshmen?"

"Hmph, he's unbelievably arrogant!"

"Too conceited! Even if he's ranked first among the freshmen, he can't be this arrogant!"

The moment Dongfang Chen appeared, a huge uproar erupted throughout the fighting hall.

The next second, Dongfang Chen raised his hand.

Just as everyone thought he was about to make some sort of speech—

"Who's up first? Hurry up, I'm in a rush."

Ever since deciding to attend Mingzhu Academy, Dongfang Chen had bought a detached villa with a small courtyard near the school.

Today happened to be the day he had arranged to inspect the house. He still had to take Xin Xia over to look at the little home where they would spend their university years together.

"Arrogant!!! He's way too arrogant!"

"I'll go first! I'm going up there to beat him to a pulp!"

A hot-tempered freshman was the first to leap onto the Fighting Stage in the center.

"Dongfang Chen, don't think that just because you're ranked first among the freshmen, you can—"

The furious student had not even finished speaking.

Suddenly, magical light flickered around Dongfang Chen. A Star Track swept through his hand, and an invisible, transparent claw immediately slammed toward the student through the air.

Mind Control · Phantom Claw!

Bang!

A dull impact rang out. The Space Element Beginner Level's Mind Control was not only transparent and invisible, but also impossible to guard against.

In the blink of an eye, the hot-tempered student was thrown off the Fighting Stage. His face was utterly blank, clearly still unaware of what had happened to him.

"Next."

Dongfang Chen's indifferent voice rang out.

For a moment, no one stepped onto the stage again.

That opening scene had truly shocked quite a few people.

Those with little experience did not even know what had happened onstage.

Those with some knowledge had already turned serious.

They had never expected the freshman ranked first to be a Space Element mage—and one capable of forming a Star Track with One Thought!

After everyone fell silent for a while, another freshman jumped onto the Fighting Stage.

"I'll test you myself."

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked refined and scholarly.

"My name is Mai Xingwen. I'm ranked tenth among this year's freshmen—"

Like the last person, he only got halfway through his introduction before quickly raising his arms and revealing a Shield Magic Tool in front of himself.

Thud!

The Mind Claw collided with the Shield Magic Tool, producing a heavy sound.

"I was still talking! You actually launched a sneak attack?!"

Dongfang Chen's face was filled with disdain. "In a real battle, your enemies won't indulge you."

Seeing that his Mind Claw had been blocked, Dongfang Chen raised his hand again.

In the blink of an eye, a Giant Shadow Spike shot out.

Seeing this, the other student instinctively assumed Dongfang Chen had launched another attack and raised his Shield Magic Tool before him once more.

But the next second, his expression changed drastically.

"Giant Shadow Spike!!! Your second element has reached the Intermediate Level too?!"

Very few students could become Intermediate Level Mages before the college entrance exams. Even a top domestic magic academy like Mingzhu Academy found it difficult to recruit Intermediate Level Mages among its incoming freshmen.

It was not that the school lacked fame or that Intermediate Level Mages were unwilling to attend. They were simply too rare to recruit.

Setting aside specially recruited students, among this year's freshmen at Mingzhu Academy, there were only six or seven who had already become Intermediate Level Mages before taking the entrance examination.

All the freshmen understood clearly.

Since Dongfang Chen was ranked first among the freshmen, he had definitely cultivated his primary Space Element to the Intermediate Level.

But they had never imagined that not only had his Space Element reached the Intermediate Level, but his second element, the Shadow Element, had as well!

After using the Giant Shadow Spike to restrain his opponent, Dongfang Chen casually used a Mind Claw to toss him off the Fighting Stage like a chick.

"Alright, next."

Once Dongfang Chen revealed his cultivation of two Intermediate Level elements, there were not many people who truly dared to step onto the Fighting Stage and challenge him.

After all, most of them were not idiots. They knew exactly what they were capable of.

Those without any real skill would only embarrass themselves if they went up.

"Hm? No one else dared to come up?"

Dongfang Chen frowned slightly.

The school had promised him one day off for every person he defeated.

But he had only beaten two people, and no one else dared to step up. That was not good.

"What? Could it be that every freshman in this year's intake, aside from me, is a coward? Is no one coming up?"

Dongfang Chen wore a mocking expression.

"If you're really that scared, then come at me together. It'll save me the trouble of knocking you all down one by one."

Dongfang Chen's words instantly stirred up a storm.

"How dare he look down on us like this!"

"I can't stand it anymore. Are there any hidden masters among us freshmen? Go up there and teach him a lesson!"

"He really is arrogant. Even I, a senior, can't stand watching this anymore. How about we pretend to be freshmen and go up there to teach him a lesson?"

When Dongfang Chen saw that the crowd kept cursing but still did not have a single person daring to take the stage, he directly pointed at the three people closest to him.

"You, you, and you! You three are freshmen too, right? Come up together. Don't make me look down on you, cowards!"

The three people who had been pointed at and cursed by Dongfang Chen could no longer endure it.

They were all hot-blooded young men. Anyone who had gotten into Mingzhu Academy had been a top talent in their own school. Who could tolerate such humiliation?

"I can't take it anymore. Let's go! Even if we lose, we can't let him have it easy!"

"That's right! There are so many freshmen here. He might not be able to defeat all of us before his magic energy runs out!"

"Even if we have to wear him down, we'll drain all his magic energy!"

The three of them leaped onto the Fighting Stage at the same time.

This time, they had learned their lesson. Without wasting a single word, they began drawing their Star Tracks the instant they landed on the Fighting Stage.

"Too slow!"

Dongfang Chen said.

The three on the other side were not drawing slowly, but before his One Thought Star Track, they were still nothing worth mentioning.

Bang! Bang!

With another three consecutive dull thuds, two of the three were blasted off the stage without the slightest ability to resist.

The remaining one did manage to activate a magic tool, but for Dongfang Chen, that merely meant using Mind Control one more time.

It had to be said that One Thought Star Track combined with Space Element Magic was truly excellent for crushing weak opponents.

"Who's next?!"

Dongfang Chen's voice continued to echo through the arena.

On the arena's main viewing platform, Dean Xiao, the principal, and the deans of several other institutes were all present.

"I'm taking this student for the Shadow Institute. At such a young age, he has already raised his Shadow Element to the Intermediate Level, and he can even wield Giant Shadow Spike so skillfully. His future potential is immeasurable!"

"Hmph, Dongfang Chen is Innate All Element. The Dongfang Family has always been a family of Fire Element mages. Clearly, he is better suited for our Fire Institute. I will strive to have him become an Archmage Fire Mage before he graduates!"

"Bah! Shameless Fire Institute! Your Fire Institute already has the most students in Mingzhu Academy, and you still want to steal people from us?"

"Since Dongfang Chen is Innate All Element, there's no reason he can't join my Lightning Institute as well..."

Seeing several deans who were usually so composed arguing like they were at a marketplace, Dean Xiao suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Then again, Dongfang Chen was almost one of the most monstrous students he had ever seen...

After thinking of a certain Little Girl who had been brought back to the school not long ago, Dean Xiao silently added the condition "one of."

Dongfang Chen's Magic Talent was very strong, but it was still within a reasonable range.

As for that Little Girl whom his Old Friend Dean Fu had brought to the school not long ago... rather than being exceptionally talented, she was more like the embodiment of a natural disaster.

"Dean Xiao, something's wrong."

Suddenly, a teacher hurried over.

"That female student Dean Fu brought to the school not long ago... she seems to have lost control. Dean Fu rushed over immediately, but this is a serious matter, so he sent me to inform you."

"What!"

Dean Xiao immediately rose from his seat, his expression turning exceptionally grave.

She was a Mind Element Calamity-Afflicted. If she lost control... the entire school would suffer!
