"I'll team up with you."
A clear, bright voice rang out all of a sudden, and in an instant, everyone's gazes snapped toward her.
"It's Mu Nujiao!" someone in the crowd shouted excitedly, calling out her name.
In this academy, Mu Nujiao had countless admirers, and her every move had always been the focus of everyone's attention.
The goddess was here!
In front of the goddess, Zhuang Lifeng had no self-control left. Without even thinking, he immediately agreed.
"All right, then. In a bit, the rest of us will be responsible for holding those undead back, and we'll have to trouble the goddess to take care of that Undead Mage."
Zhuang Lifeng reacted extremely quickly and swiftly finished arranging the tactics.
Just as everyone was about to step onto the stage, two more people abruptly appeared.
One of them was none other than the Bai Family's eldest young master, Bai Cangfeng, while the other was also a disciple from an aristocratic family.
Bai Cangfeng wore an arrogant, overbearing expression and swaggered forward, directly blocking the very front.
He said loudly, "You don't need to go up. I'll go first. I'd like to see just how impressive this new Undead element student who's left all of you helpless really is!"
"Does he really think that just because he has one Warrior-level undead, he can act lawless here?!"
As he spoke, his eyes stayed fixed tightly on Mu Nujiao. Clearly, he was deliberately trying to show off in front of her.
He looked exactly like a peacock desperately eager to spread its tail.
Only this "peacock" seemed rather stupid.
Bai Cangfeng gave Zhuang Lifeng no chance to respond at all. He picked three teammates on his own and then strutted onto the stage.
The people chosen had no choice either. After all, Bai Cangfeng came from one of Modu's four great families, and they truly could not afford to offend him.
"Your name is Jiang Yuan, right? I heard you're from Bocheng. A commoner mage from some remote little place dares to run wild here? You really have no upbringing at all!" The moment he got onto the stage, Bai Cangfeng began mocking him without the slightest courtesy.
"Fuck, he's asking to die!" Mo Fan, who was watching from below the stage, heard this and instantly flew into a rage, completely set off.
In front of him, no one had ever dared mock Jiang Yuan like that!
This piece of trash who had popped out of nowhere was simply courting death!
I, Mo Fan, have to beat him up today!
Seeing that Mo Fan was about to charge onto the arena, Jiang Yuan timely sent him a look.
Mo Fan instantly understood. With a cold laugh, he returned to his seat.
Jiang Yuan slowly turned his head, his gaze like an eagle's as he stared straight at Bai Cangfeng.
This man was stupid to the extreme, a typical aristocratic-family disciple, and the kind of fool who did not know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth, thinking himself invincible among his peers.
He simply did not understand how terrifying a Great Warrior-level undead truly was.
Relying only on his background and a little bit of strength, he looked down on everyone.
Although Jiang Yuan had activated Overclock mode, his thoughts in a state of absolute rationality and calm, he still decided to properly teach this Bai Cangfeng a lesson.
Rationality did not allow him to be angry, but it told him one thing.
When facing this kind of arrogant aristocratic-family disciple, you had to beat him until he was afraid, beat him until he trembled in terror whenever he thought of what happened today.
He had to become a nightmare that would never leave him for the rest of his life, one that would make him wake in fright even from his sleep!
"Then let's begin. Let's see if you have the ability to win this match."
Jiang Yuan slowly rose to his feet, his tone as calm as an undisturbed lake, yet within it, there was a faintly chilling pressure!
"Heh." Bai Cangfeng let out a disdainful cold laugh. "Playing tricks. You lot, come with me!"
The instant he finished speaking, dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from Bai Cangfeng's body.
"Light Blessing—Sacred Shield!"
In an instant, countless rays of light scattered and bloomed, swiftly condensing around him into a golden shield that radiated a sacred aura.
He was an Intermediate Light-element mage!
It was precisely because of this that he believed he had a natural suppressive advantage against the undead, and felt that he was much stronger than those useless Light-element mages from before.
At the same time, brilliant, multicolored magical radiance also burst from his teammates as they each cast their own magic.
Jiang Yuan simply stood there quietly, watching coldly as they released their spells, without the slightest intention of interrupting.
When all the magical energy had been nurtured to its peak, a fierce battle was on the verge of erupting!
A Star Track suddenly lit up in Bai Cangfeng's hand, and he chanted under his breath, "Light Radiance—Brilliant Glow!!"
In an instant, a Level Four Beginner Light-element spell shot into the sky like a small sun, bursting with dazzling light overhead.
Under the shroud of this light, the Three-eyed Underworld General's strength finally suffered a certain degree of restriction.
Its body of ghastly white bones was actually burned by the light until it hissed, wisps of green smoke continuously rising from it.
Immediately afterward, magical elements such as flame, lightning, and ice came sweeping in like a violent storm.
Ice and fire intertwined, lightning roared, and the entire Green Fighting Pavilion descended into chaos.
The Three-eyed Underworld General stayed calm. It drew the machete that had always accompanied it from its back and forcefully blocked the magical attacks.
Boom~~!!
An earth-shaking explosion rang out inside the Green Fighting Pavilion, making everyone's eardrums ache.
And yet, it was far from over.
Seizing the moment when the Three-eyed Underworld General's movement was restricted by the light, Bai Cangfeng moved.
Cyan wind radiance suddenly rose beneath his feet. With the speed of Wind element magic, he shot to Jiang Yuan's side like an afterimage.
At such close range, Bai Cangfeng thought victory was already in his grasp.
"Don't move," Bai Cangfeng said smugly, a mocking smile on his face. "The ones who came up before were all trash. They couldn't even deal with a measly civilian mage. I had to do it myself."
"Still, compared to them, your strength is indeed decent. But in my eyes, it's nothing special."
Jiang Yuan still wore that expressionless look and said nothing.
Bai Cangfeng no longer planned to eliminate Jiang Yuan right away.
"Still hoping to turn things around with that undead of yours? In that case, I'll completely destroy your hope and make you understand exactly how great the gap is between civilians and noble families!"
As soon as he finished speaking, light bloomed once more.
Bai Cangfeng released a Light Blessing, and a shield of light firmly trapped Jiang Yuan inside.
This move was rather unexpected. He had used defensive magic as control magic.
Bai Cangfeng quickly returned to the main battlefield.
He placed a layer of Light Blessing over each of his teammates.
To undead, Light element magic was their natural nemesis.
Light Radiance magic, which originally could only be used for illumination, produced an intense burning effect when it landed on an undead.
And Light Blessing, originally only defensive magic, could actually become gauntlets capable of attacking undead when gathered around both hands.
At that moment, the level-four Light Radiance magic in the sky was still continuously emitting light, affecting the Three-eyed Underworld General at every instant and forcing it to instinctively move away from the light source.
And that instinctive action exposed many openings.
Even so, against the encirclement of two Intermediate level mages and three Beginner level mages who had fully cultivated their spells, the Three-eyed Underworld General still displayed a powerful sense of pressure.
The machete in its hand swung with fierce momentum. Every time it cut through the air and landed on the ground, it left a deep mark.
Time passed second by second.
Jiang Yuan stood there quietly the entire time, unmoving as he watched the Three-eyed Underworld General be surrounded and attacked by the others.
The biggest difference between undead and monsters was that undead felt no pain, nor did they grow tired.
Unless it could be made to completely lose the ability to move, it would keep attacking its target.
Just like that, amid the continuous fierce battle, the three Beginner level mages were the first to be eliminated. Immediately afterward, another noble-family child was defeated as well.
Bai Cangfeng gritted his teeth and exhausted the last of his strength to throw one final punch.
At last, under the heavy blow of that punch, the battered Three-eyed Underworld General scattered into a pile of white bones.
The instant those white bones had just fallen apart, they began to gather together again.
It was just that their speed of reassembly seemed somewhat slow under the light.
Seeing this, Bai Cangfeng hurriedly burst out with the last bit of magical energy in his Light element nebula. At the same time, he cast Wind element magic and blew the white bones apart.
After all that effort, the Three-eyed Underworld General finally stopped moving.
At least, it looked like it had stopped moving.
"Hah~ hss, hah~ hss, hah~~~"
Bai Cangfeng gasped heavily for breath, his body swaying. Only after great difficulty did he shakily straighten up.
This Warrior level undead was far too difficult to deal with.
If they had not relied on the speed of Wind element magic and the suppression of Light element magic, their group would have been beaten to pieces long ago.
So this was the strength of Warrior level?
Still, in the end, hadn't he been the one to deal with it?
A wave of pride rose in Bai Cangfeng's heart. He looked toward Jiang Yuan and was just about to speak.
Just then, however, Jiang Yuan spoke first.
"You think this is over?"
