The Laws of Victory Are Already Determined! (Seeking Follow-ups, Seeking Collections)

"Rest assured, Dean. I'll make sure to beat those arrogant snobs until they're begging for mercy!"

Having secured a promise of support, Lan Yu was naturally brimming with motivation.

Dean Xiao glared at Lan Yu and said, "Don't go looking for trouble."

He immediately shifted his tone, adding, "But don't be too timid either. As long as you're in the right, we'll handle the fallout."

"Then I can rest easy."

And so, Lan Yu, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and the others set off on their journey to the Imperial Capital as exchange students.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Capital, the group followed protocol by first visiting the local historical sites of magical civilization before heading to the Imperial Capital Academy.

In this magical world, the Imperial Capital Academy was undoubtedly the number one institution.

After all, the children of noble families were as numerous as the hairs on an ox here; you could throw a brick and hit a dozen of them.

The exchange students heading to the Imperial Capital Academy this time were Lan Yu, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Mu Nujiao, Bai Tingting, Song Xia, Zheng Bingxiao, Shen Mingxiao, Luo Song, and Peng Liang.

These ten were the elites selected from the Green Campus. Dean Xiao had originally intended to send Xu Zhaoting as well, but the poor kid had stepped into a trap the Black Vatican had originally set for Mo Fan, leaving him severely injured and currently bedridden in the hospital.

Still, it was better than him dying as he did in the original story.

Under the guidance of Lu Yiming, the group arrived at the student apartments to rest for the night before the magical sparring matches the following day.

For the first match, Gu Han sent out Lan Yu, Peng Liang, Luo Song, and Shen Mingxiao—a team consisting of one carry and three dead weights.

On the other side, Lu Yiming pointed out their four ace students from the Imperial Capital Academy: Xu Dalong, Liao Mingxuan, Jingjing, and Zhao Mingyue.

"Old Lan, carrying three people? That sounds a bit shaky," Zhao Manyan muttered.

Lan Yu didn't seem to mind. "Do our best and leave the rest to fate."

"I'll bet a pack of spicy strips that you guys lose," Mo Fan said to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu remained silent. It seemed not many people knew that his summoned beast was already at the Great Warrior-level, right?

Furthermore, with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eerie abilities, if he didn't scare those four Imperial Capital Academy students into wetting themselves, he'd consider it a failure.

"To ensure fairness, the use of magic gear and magic artifacts is prohibited in this team match. Competition is secondary; friendship comes first!"

After both sides took the stage, the referee announced the rules.

This rule was a blessing for everyone, as the noble scions in the Imperial Capital were everywhere, and if they didn't have a decent piece of magic gear on them, they'd be too embarrassed to call themselves nobles.

Banning magic gear and artifacts meant everyone had to rely on their own true strength.

Both sides signaled their readiness, the referee gave the order, and the battle began!

With Peng Liang blocking in front, Lan Yu didn't hesitate to control the Summoning Element stars, linking them into an entry-level star track.

The star track formed, and the magic manifested!

Dimension Summoning!

This time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not appear in the small form of Momo, but manifested on the arena stage in its massive, nearly six-meter-long true form.

It was a fierce, terrifying jet-black tiger, its blood-red eyes sweeping across the four from the Imperial Capital, chilling them to the bone.

The imposing "King" character formed by black mist on its forehead highlighted its extraordinary nature.

When the aura of a Warrior-level creature pressed down on the four Imperial Capital students like a tidal wave, everyone present was stunned by the sheer pressure.

If it weren't for Lan Yu's current Summoning Element holding the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger back, it would have been suppressing the entire field with the presence of a Commander-level beast.

ROAR—

A deafening tiger roar made one's scalp tingle, caused every hair on their body to stand on end, and sent their heart rates skyrocketing.

"Holy crap, Warrior-level!" Mo Fan exclaimed.

"More than that, it's definitely stronger than an ordinary Warrior-level. Look, that tiger even has a pair of wings; it can definitely fly!" Zhao Manyan was dumbfounded.

"No kidding, you idiot?"

Mu Nujiao was also deeply shocked. She clearly remembered Lan Yu's summoned beast being a "black cat." How did it turn into this pitch-black ferocious tiger?

Was there some connection between the two? Or had Lan Yu swapped his summoned beast?

Of course, Mu Nujiao was more inclined to believe her former hypothesis.

"Great Warrior!" Lu Yiming's expression shifted.

He never expected the Pearl Academy to possess such a lethal weapon.

"Are... are you kidding me?!!"

"We're going to die, we're definitely going to die!!"

"..."

The four on the field, led by Zhao Mingyue, were already panicking, especially after that tiger roar, which had completely shattered their psychological defenses.

The penetrating power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's roar was worlds apart from that of an ordinary tiger.

Lan Yu didn't waste any more breath and immediately ordered the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to attack.

Looking at these four tiny human mages, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's blood-red eyes revealed a look of human-like mockery.

It seemed to be sneering at them, as if to say that daring to challenge it while being so weak took quite a lot of guts.

Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song exchanged a glance, both reading the word "terror" in the other's eyes.

With the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger out, the scales of victory tilted toward Pearl Academy.

Even though Jingjing and the other three wanted to maneuver around the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the latter was not just a stat monster, but a mechanics monster as well.

Its wind and lightning attributes alone were enough to give them a hard time, not to mention its evil, time, space, and strength attributes.

"It seems there is no need for this battle to continue; the outcome has long been decided. Even if all the students from the Imperial Capital Academy team were added together, they might not be able to defeat a summoned beast of this level," Gu Han said.

Facing a Great General-level creature, even a High-level mage would have to treat it with caution; how could a mere four Intermediate mages be a match for a Great General?

The law of victory had already been set!

Lu Yiming had no choice but to accept the result and hurriedly asked the referee to announce Pearl Academy's victory in the first match.

However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was feeling playful; as soon as the referee opened his mouth, it used its tail to sweep the four of them off the competition field like autumn leaves blowing in the wind.

It didn't leave them a shred of dignity.

First match, Imperial Capital Academy vs. Pearl Academy, Pearl Academy wins!

After the halftime break, both academies sent out four more students.

Seeing that Lan Yu did not take the field, Lu Yiming and the Imperial Capital Academy contestants breathed a huge sigh of relief.

As long as that guy didn't play, then we at Imperial Capital Academy have a chance of winning the second match!

The team sent by Imperial Capital Academy consisted of Mu Ningxue, Lu Zhenghe, Ming Cong, and Xiao Feng.

The moment Mu Ningxue appeared, almost everyone was stunned by her beauty.

Among the Pearl Academy team, several people turned into fanboys on the spot; some claimed they would give up their family fortune for her, while others said they would cripple their own cultivation, which was utterly ridiculous.

Mu Nujiao subconsciously glanced at Lan Yu, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you've seen enough, now think carefully about how to deal with her!" Song Xia said with a grave expression. "This woman is not simple!"

Mu Nujiao's delicate brows furrowed; she could tell from the aura alone that this woman was strong, even without her casting any magic.

"She should be an Ice-type mage. I will try my best to restrain her during the fight; you all strive to take out the others, and then we will join forces to deal with her!"
