With Qian Kun's announcement, the Lightning Element students in the audience finally came back to their senses.
Just moments ago, they had been cursing and mocking him... but now, every one of them was dumbfounded!
Thought Star Track...
Against someone like that, unless one put on a high-level Magic Tool from the very beginning, there was practically no chance of victory.
Going up there meant getting struck by lightning... and if you couldn't withstand it, you could only kneel.
Even if his opponent had only just reached the Intermediate Level, so what? The power of his Beginner Magic had completely surpassed that of Intermediate Magic!
Sun Yuan had been thinking about letting Tang Miao learn that there was always someone better and something greater, and had even planned how to comfort him after his defeat. But... the result... this was simply not a human being!
Likewise, it wasn't only those ranked below one hundred who were shocked. Quite a few people ranked in the Top One Hundred were secretly astonished as well.
After all, Tang Miao wasn't even old enough to take the college entrance examination. Normally, he should only have been in his third year of high school!
Some of them had already been at this academy for one or even two years.
It could be said that, apart from the three younger brothers in Tang Miao's dormitory, everyone else had been thrown into shock. Of course, even the three people in his dormitory had never imagined that things would turn out this way.
Tang Miao had truly reached the point where he had remained silent until it mattered, then stunned everyone with a single move!
After the battle ended, Tang Miao left. After all, he now had four Elements to cultivate... how could he have time to waste here?
By the time everyone recovered from their shock, Tang Miao had already left.
Qian Kun announced the next Challenge Tournament, but clearly, no one had the mind to pay attention anymore. After all, they had been thoroughly struck by lightning today!
At the same time, today's events instantly spread across Pearl Academy's campus network.
For a while, many people on the network began investigating Tang Miao's background. Some of them were even from prominent clans. Why else would they be doing it? With a powerhouse like this, who wouldn't want to recruit him if he wasn't being cultivated by some major force?
Of course, there were plenty of spectators, and naturally, plenty of comments as well...
"What the hell, where did this new Lightning Element student come from? Is he really that powerful?!"
"Is the Lightning Element finally going to rise in this year's year-end academy competition?"
"This little brother is so handsome!"
"..."
All kinds of strange comments kept appearing, but the person involved was currently training his Star Seeds. He simply had no time to bother with anything else.
Most importantly, he was short of money! He desperately needed to improve himself. Only then would he have a chance to complete the bounty!
Because he was about to break through, Tang Miao chose to rent a room outside. After all, seclusion required peace and quiet. How could it be quiet living with several morons?
Although he was poor at the moment, he could still afford the rent. After all, his previous lease had not yet expired, but he had forcibly terminated it.
Although that was somewhat shameless, he wasn't truly unreasonable. He had paid an extra month's rent.
The landlord knew Tang Miao was a mage and did not want to offend him, so he eventually returned the money.
Controlling forty-nine Star Seeds properly was clearly no easy task. His mental strength was good, however, and with Star Trace and his considerable patience in every aspect, it was not too troublesome.
Of course, saying it wasn't troublesome was one thing, but doing it was genuinely difficult...
After three days had passed, the eighth Star Seed successfully returned to its place. By the eighth day, the ninth Star Seed had returned to its place...
Because Tang Miao had displayed absolute overwhelming strength, no one sought trouble during the new Challenge Tournament week.
After all, although Wang Yan had been discharged from the hospital on the second day, it had taken him a full three days to completely recover.
With Tang Miao stirring things up, those ranked outside the Top One Hundred began challenging one another, refreshing the rankings all over again. In the end, Wang Yan merely secured the one-hundred-and-first rank.
Although he was extremely unwilling to lose to a junior student, especially a junior who couldn't even use Intermediate Magic, so what? If he challenged Tang Miao again, he would only be humiliating himself.
After all, the power of that man's Lightning Magic was right there for everyone to see!
He couldn't afford to provoke him...
Since no one paid him any attention, Tang Miao was naturally happy to enjoy the peace. He did not continue challenging others either. The resources awarded for the Top One Hundred were enough. More importantly, he might not benefit from going any higher. To obtain the chance to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower, he had to reach the Top Twenty.
The seniors in the Top Twenty had probably all reached Level Three in Lightning Magic, right? Moreover, they all came from prominent clans, so they naturally wouldn't lack Magic Tools.
Thus, Tang Miao was naturally too lazy to challenge them... Besides using the resources to improve the strength of his other Elements, he spent his time controlling his Star Seeds.
Hard work had finally paid off. When the sixtieth day arrived, the forty-ninth Star Seed successfully returned to its place!
After the initial collapse, things gradually became natural.
Of course, during those two months, he had not cultivated only the Lightning Element. His Space Element had also successfully reached Level Three. The reason he had advanced so quickly was that his mental strength was extraordinary. As for exactly what level his mental strength had reached, he had no idea, but it was probably ridiculously formidable!
His Summoning Element could also summon his Contract Pet now, but he had not yet found the time to do so.
As for his Ice Element, it had only reached a little over thirty Star Seeds... After all, even a genius could not break through four Elements at the same time, right?
However, now that he could cast Intermediate Lightning Magic, he naturally would not miss the new Challenge Tournament week!
Although he had only learned Intermediate Level One Lightning Magic, with the bonuses from his domain and the rest, its power was already completely on par with the Intermediate Magic of some ordinary Level Three Spirit Seeds!
By the time he returned to the academy, summer was already blazing. But summer naturally had its advantages.
Looking at the girls' fair, jade-like long legs, exposed white and gleaming before his eyes, he found that although they wore school uniforms, their status as mages meant that none of them looked bad. Such a beautiful sight truly made his heart ripple~
While admiring the scenery, he headed toward the Lightning Element Academy with a perfectly composed expression.
Actually, Tang Miao found it rather puzzling. Although there were girls in the Lightning Element Academy, there was not a single goddess-level beauty...
However, his presence seemed rather low. Over the past two months, he had come several times to collect his resources. Yet each time, he had failed to win the admiration of the Lightning Element girls...
It had to be said that good looks alone were not enough! Although his strength was not bad either, he still failed to attract attention in the eyes of those clan girls. Of course, two months ago, he had received invitations from several forces, but it was clear that none of them had been particularly enthusiastic.
Various forces: You don't even show up at the academy, so what's the use of being enthusiastic?
