The Shock of the Level Five Fire Seed! Astonished Freshmen!

"Holy crap, holy crap!"

"Am I seeing this right?! A Bone Gnawing Demon got one-shot by a Fire Seed!"

"You're not seeing things—it's real!"

"That's a Level Five Fire Seed!"

"Where the hell did this rich bastard come from?!"

In an instant, every freshman present erupted into chaos.

They stared fixedly at Lin Yu standing in the Arena.

Their eyes were filled with sheer disbelief, as if they couldn't accept what they'd just witnessed.

"Idiot, I told you to watch out!"

Mo Fan looked at Wang Liting, who was completely stunned on the Arena floor, a sneer curling on his face.

This was his Brother Yu—the strongest at everything since they were kids.

Your Bone Gnawing Demon? Not even worthy. Probably less dangerous than the Demons Lin Yu had killed back in Bo City.

"Dean!"

"That... a Level Five Fire Seed!"

"Seven General-level Spirit Essences! What kind of student is this?!"

Behind Dean Xiao, several Department Heads stared at Lin Yu on the stage with expressions like he was wasting priceless treasures.

They wanted to grab Lin Yu by the ear and shout at him.

Do you even understand what Spirit Essences are?!

"Ahem, regardless..."

"This is the student's own choice!"

Dean Xiao cleared his throat a couple of times, suppressing his own shock.

Because even he had never been extravagant enough to do something like that.

Strengthening a Primary Magic was utterly useless for a mage of his caliber.

"Dean Xiao!"

Just as Dean Xiao was thinking about whether to have a private chat with Lin Yu after the Orientation Event ended—

Lin Yu's voice rang out directly from the Arena.

"Go ahead, speak."

Dean Xiao looked at Lin Yu, sensing that the kid was about to stir up trouble.

"I heard that the Summoning Element held off two hundred top students' relentless bombardment."

"And in return, they get access to all the departments' public resources."

"I think that's unfair."

Lin Yu stared straight at Dean Xiao and said bluntly.

"What are you getting at?"

Dean Xiao smiled as he looked at him.

"The Summoning Element has a shot at taking all the resources."

"But if I beat everyone in the Summoning Element, all I'd get is their public resources handed over to the Fire Department."

"So here's my idea—if I defeat every single freshman, then all the other departments' resources should go to the Fire Department!"

Lin Yu locked eyes with Dean Xiao above, excitement gleaming in his gaze.

"Well..."

Dean Xiao hesitated as he looked at Lin Yu. The reason the Summoning Element had always been the star of the show in previous years was simple.

Summoned Beasts were just like Demons—a Demon of the same level required a whole squad of human mages to handle.

But the physiques of freshmen from other magic departments couldn't compare to Demons; they couldn't withstand magical bombardment at all.

That's why the Summoning Element was always chosen.

Now a Fire Department freshman was butting in.

Then Dean Xiao noticed the fierce determination on Lin Yu's face and suddenly remembered that this guy had come from Bo City.

He really did need more resources.

"I agree!"

Dean Xiao nodded directly at Lin Yu, approving his proposal.

"Great, Dean Xiao!"

"Sorry to everyone here—you've all seen what I can do just now."

"No way around it—I'm taking all your resources!"

"Anyone who's not convinced, step right up!"

Lin Yu stood at the center of the Arena, sweeping his gaze left and right before bellowing.

His attitude of looking down on everyone was beyond what they could imagine.

"I can't take it anymore!"

"Too arrogant, just one guy!"

"Right, right, right—so what if he's got a Level Five Fire Seed?"

"Don't we have Advanced Mages among the new students?!"

"Brothers, let's go. Take down this blowhard!"

"Just a Fire Element—think you're a General-level Demon or something?"

In an instant, everyone's gaze toward Lin Yu shifted, sparks practically flying from their eyes.

"When did Brother Yu get this fired up?"

Mo Fan watched the scene and just shook his head.

"Brother Lin Yu, be careful!"

Xin Xia knew Lin Yu was strong, but she couldn't help worrying for him.

"This new student really can't stay out of trouble."

Gu Han, the teacher in charge of student safety, watched as over a dozen new students charged down from the Audience Stand and shook his head helplessly.

Lin Yu's expression was utterly calm. A dozen students, all Intermediate Mages—what difference did numbers make?

"Fire Seed: Meteor Flame Blast!"

The Fire Element Star Orbit formed again, and over a dozen fierce Flame Balls appeared in the sky, hurtling straight toward those students.

"Dammit!"

"Water Shield—"

"Earth—"

Before these challengers could even react, they were blasted away by the Flame Balls.

And this was without Lin Yu applying his Spirit Seed.

If he had added the Spirit Seed's boost, these guys would probably be crippled by now.

"Dammit, we can't rush in!"

"His Primary Level 5 Magic is on par with an Advanced Mage's spell, and his casting speed is too fast!"

"Besides, one Fire Seed is nothing to him!"

At this point, the sharper new students noticed something off.

One Fire Seed had taken out over a dozen of them—that was way too insane!

"Sister Mu, isn't that the guy who bought your Spirit Essence back then?"

"A Level Five Fire Seed!"

Ai Tu Tu's eyes went wide as she stared at Lin Yu on the stage.

She remembered—Lin Yu had sold two General-level Spirit Essences to the Mu family before.

"That's him."

Mu Nu Jiao nodded directly as she watched Lin Yu on the stage. She knew he must have gotten even stronger in this time.

Back in Hongze, even her cousin was no match for Lin Yu.

Now, Lin Yu was probably even stronger!

"Sister Mu, where do you think he gets his Spirit Essences from?"

"Could it be his Innate Talent?"

Ai Tu Tu asked directly, watching Lin Yu on the Arena stage. A Level Five Primary Magic—even her brother, from the Ai Family, wouldn't have his Primary Magic boosted to Level Five.

"I don't know."

"Keep watching."

Mu Nu Jiao said simply, equally curious as she looked at Lin Yu on the stage.

"No one else?"

"Keep them coming."

Lin Yu swept his gaze flatly over the guys in the stands, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Dammit, he's way too cocky!"

"Where are the Advanced Mages? Go!"

"Time to get even!"

"Yeah, that's right—we can't let this guy lord it over us!"

Everyone was stunned that those dozen or so students had been knocked off the stage by Lin Yu without even casting a single spell.

But Lin Yu's arrogant expression still stoked their fury.

"I told you so," Mo Fan said, shaking his head helplessly as he watched.

"Still, I wonder if I've got what it takes to go toe-to-toe with Brother Yu now?"

Mo Fan clenched his fists, a fiery glint in his eyes, and prepared to step onto the stage to test Lin Yu's skills.

But just then, two people beat him to it, striding up ahead of him.

"I don't know which family spawned an idiot like you, boosting your Primary Magic to the fifth level."

"But I do know that Pearl Institute isn't a place for a punk like you to dominate."

Zhuang Li Feng walked up slowly, and behind him was someone Lin Yu found vaguely familiar.

"Dean Xiao protected you back then, but let's see what you do today!"

Bai Cang Feng glared at Lin Yu across the stage. He'd been thoroughly humiliated by Lin Yu before, and today he was going to get even.

"Heh, so the mid-tier finally shows up."

Lin Yu just smiled faintly in response.
