If Not Speaking, Then It's Done

With Qian Kun's announcement, the Lightning Element students in the audience finally snapped back to reality.

The curses, the mockery... all of it—at this moment, everyone was simply dumbfounded.

Thought Star Track...

Against someone like this, unless you put on a high-level Magic Tool from the start, there was almost no chance of victory.

Go up and you'd get struck down... if you couldn't take it, you'd kneel.

Even if the opponent's strength was only Intermediate, so what? The power his Beginner Magic unleashed completely surpassed Intermediate!

Sun Yuan had been thinking earlier about letting Tang Miao know there were always stronger people out there, and had even planned how to comfort him after his failure. But... the result... this was just not human!

Likewise, it wasn't just those ranked after a hundred who were shocked; even some among the top hundred were secretly astonished.

After all, Tang Miao's age hadn't even reached the college entrance exam period yet. Normally, he should still be a high school senior!

And some of them had already been at this academy for a year or two.

It could be said that except for the three younger guys in Tang Miao's dorm, everyone else was stunned. Of course, even his three dormmates never expected things to turn out like this.

Tang Miao had truly reached the point of "not making a sound, but shocking everyone with one cry"!

After the battle ended, Tang Miao left the place. After all, he now had four elements to cultivate... what time did he have to waste here?

By the time everyone recovered from their shock, Tang Miao had already left.

Qian Kun announced the next challenge match, but clearly no one had the mind to pay attention. Because today, they had all been thoroughly thunderstruck!

At the same time, on Pearl Academy's free campus network platform, news of today's events spread instantly.

In no time, many people on the network were digging up information on Tang Miao. Some were even from noble families—no other reason, but with such a strong person, if no major force had trained him, who wouldn't want to recruit him?

Of course, there were plenty of bystanders too, and no shortage of comments...

"Damn, what's the deal with this Lightning Element newbie, is he that strong!?"

"Is the Lightning Element going to rise in this year's end-of-year academy competition?"

"This little bro is so handsome!"

"..."

All kinds of weird comments kept popping up, but the person in question was currently training his Star Seeds. He had no time to bother with anything else.

The main thing was, he was short on money! He urgently needed to improve himself, and only then would he have a chance to complete the Bounty!

Because he needed to break through, Tang Miao chose to rent a house outside to stay in. After all, seclusion required quiet—how could he get any peace living with a few idiots?

Even though he was very poor now, he still had enough money to rent a place. The previous rental hadn't expired yet, but he had forcefully terminated it.

Although that was a bit of a dick move, he wasn't completely unreasonable. He paid an extra month's rent.

The landlord knew Tang Miao was a mage and didn't want to offend him, so in the end, he refunded the money.

Controlling forty-nine Star Seeds properly was obviously not an easy task. His mental strength was good, plus with Star Trace and his strong patience in various aspects, it wasn't too troublesome.

Of course, saying it wasn't troublesome was one thing—actually doing it was really not easy...

By the third day, the eighth Star Seed was successfully in place; by the eighth day, the ninth Star Seed was in place...

And because Tang Miao had shown absolute strength domination, no one bothered him during the new challenge week.

After all, although Wang Yan was discharged from the hospital the next day, it took him a full three days to fully recover.

And because of Tang Miao's stunt, those ranked outside the top hundred launched all kinds of challenges, refreshing the rankings. In the end, Wang Yan just got the 101st spot.

Though he was very unwilling to lose to a junior who couldn't even use Intermediate Magic, so what? If he challenged again, it would only be asking for humiliation.

After all, the power of that Lightning Magic was right there!

Couldn't afford to mess with it...

Since no one bothered him, Tang Miao was naturally happy to be left alone. He didn't continue challenging either—the resources from the top hundred were enough for his use. The main thing was, even if he went higher, he might not gain much. To get a chance to train at the Three-Step Tower, he'd need to reach the top twenty.

The seniors in the top twenty were probably all at Level Three Lightning Magic, right? And they all came from various noble families, so they definitely wouldn't be lacking Magic Tools.

So Tang Miao naturally couldn't be bothered to challenge... He enjoyed the resources, and besides improving his other elements, he just focused on controlling his Star Seeds.

Hard work paid off—on the sixtieth day, the forty-ninth Star Seed was successfully in place!

From the initial breakdown to the gradual ease, everything became natural.

Of course, over these two months, he hadn't only cultivated Lightning. The Space Element had also reached Level Three. The reason it was so fast was because his mental strength was extraordinary. As for what level his mental strength was, he wasn't sure, but it should be pretty impressive!

The Summoning Element was also ready to summon a Contract Pet, but he hadn't had time to do it yet.

As for the Ice Element, it had only reached over thirty Star Seeds... After all, even a genius couldn't break through all four elements at once.

But since he could now release Intermediate Lightning Magic, he naturally wouldn't miss the new challenge week!

Although he had only learned the Level One Intermediate Lightning Magic, with bonuses from his domain and such, it was already not weaker than the power of some ordinary Spirit Seed Level Three Intermediate Magic!

When he returned to the academy again, it was already the blazing heat of summer. But summer naturally had its advantages.

Watching the girl's fair, jade-like long legs appear before him, pale and dazzling—though she wore a school uniform, as a mage, her looks were far from lacking. Such a beautiful sight truly stirred a ripple of emotion in his heart~

While enjoying the view, he kept his expression unchanged as he headed toward the Thunder Academy.

In truth, Tang Miao was also a bit puzzled, because although the Thunder Academy had female students, there was absolutely no goddess-level presence...

However, his own presence seemed rather insignificant as well. Over the course of two months, he had come a few times to collect resources. But no matter the occasion, he never earned the adoration of the Thunder Academy girls...

It must be said, good looks alone weren't enough! Though his strength wasn't lacking, in the eyes of those girls from noble families, he still failed to attract attention. Of course, two months ago, he had received some invitations from certain factions, but it was clear that none of them were particularly enthusiastic.

All factions: You don't even show up at the academy—what's the point of enthusiasm!
