Chapter 52: This Scene Was Too Sudden!

Song Jie didn't act immediately, hiding behind Little Green to control the entire situation.

The other three had already acted, leaving only Dongfang Ming watching from the side.

This wasn't normal!

So, Song Jie kept his eyes on Dongfang Ming, and this vigilance paid off!

Although Little Green was at the advanced level of a servant class, it struggled against mid-level fire magic!

Thus, magic had to counter magic!

«Light Blessing!»

«Holy Shield!!»

Song Jie completed the star map, casting a golden shield around Little Green.

The flames rushed forward but didn't harm Little Green at all.

Seeing his attack fail, Dongfang Ming frowned.

He had launched a sneak attack, utilizing his rapid casting talent!

Yet he still missed, which was unacceptable to him!

The surrounding students were ready to cheer and celebrate!

But their excitement was abruptly cut short!

Actually, when Dongfang Ming moved, Song Jie had already started drawing the light star map!

Just now, it was a close call, and he was sweating inside, thankful he didn't relax for even a second; otherwise, he would have been tricked by this guy!

Dongfang Ming was now closer to Little Green, so Song Jie shouted, «Little Green, take him down first!»

The others were not a threat, but this fire mage in front of him had to be dealt with!

Little Green was also furious, puffing up her cheeks as she controlled the vines to charge at Dongfang Ming!

However, Dongfang Ming wasn't afraid; this summoned beast was already in a weakened state!

How long could it last?

Facing the incoming vines, Dongfang Ming quickly completed the fire star path!

«Fire Spark!»

«Explosion!!»

He punched the ground, and flames burst out, swallowing the surrounding vines.

But, Little Green's control was stronger than Dongfang Ming expected!

After he cast his spell, another wave of vines followed, seemingly forming a cage to trap him inside.

Seeing this, Dongfang Ming suddenly laughed.

Using plants to control him?

What a joke!

He was a mid-level fire mage; was he afraid of plants?

So, Dongfang Ming wasn't worried at all; instead, he smiled.

However, just then, he saw Song Jie casting a radiant light toward him!

Seeing this, Dongfang Ming almost laughed out loud.

Was Song Jie afraid it would be too dark inside the vine prison and wanted to provide him light?

As the vine prison closed and the radiant light entered, Dongfang Ming prepared to use fire magic to break through the cage!

But in the next moment, with a muffled «bang,» the golden light suddenly exploded!

Dongfang Ming was thrown back, crashing into the vines, feeling pain all over.

«How could this be…»

Dongfang Ming didn't understand what happened and fainted.

The surrounding crowd, seeing Dongfang Ming trapped, was stunned, unable to react.

The other two didn't dare to move rashly, waiting for Dongfang Ming to break the cage before attacking together!

«Dongfang Ming lost,» Bai Liang suddenly said.

When he saw Song Jie cast the radiant light, he already foresaw Dongfang Ming's fate.

«So sure?» The others couldn't believe it; Dongfang Ming was a mid-level fire mage, could he be defeated by vines?

But when they expected Dongfang Ming to break free, there was no movement.

Song Jie wasn't in a hurry either; he had expended energy earlier, and dragging out the time would allow him to recover.

The surrounding students looked at each other, confused why Dongfang Ming hadn't emerged.

Especially the two on the stage; they knew they weren't a match for Song Jie, so moving or not was a dilemma.

Very conflicted!

Song Jie glanced at Little Green and had her retract the vines.

Soon, the vine prison fell apart, and Dongfang Ming lay on the ground in a sorry state.

«What the hell!?»

«What happened? How did he fall!?»

«What's going on? He was fine just now!»

…

The crowd was in an uproar, clueless about what happened.

The teacher who had been watching hurriedly went on stage to check Dongfang Ming's condition.

Seeing he was only unconscious, the teacher sighed in relief and had him carried off.

Song Jie knew; he didn't detonate the explosion right next to Dongfang Ming but controlled it to a certain distance.

Otherwise, Dongfang Ming's injuries would be more than just burns.

This scene was too sudden, hard for everyone to accept.

«You two, come at me together,» Song Jie said to the two nearby.

One was a water mage, the other an ice mage, no match for Song Jie's summoned beast.

In less than ten seconds, the two were knocked away by Little Green.

Song Jie secured another four victories, bringing his total to eighty-four!

«Eighty-four! Sixteen more to complete the one against a hundred!»

The students panicked.

If Song Jie completed the challenge, the resources would be his!

What about them?

What to do!!

Little Green pretended to be exhausted, resting on Song Jie's shoulder.

Seeing this, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A student at the passage excitedly said, «His summoned beast can't hold on anymore; it's finally my turn!»

The other three were equally excited; besides the summoning system, Song Jie only had the light system left!

But how lethal was the light system?

In the audience, the professors shook their heads at the excited students.

The professors who had attended the special recruitment test knew Song Jie's light system wasn't ordinary.

When dealing with Dongfang Ming, they had already guessed Dongfang Ming's fate.

When Song Jie decided to continue the freshman program, Dean Xiao told them not to expose Song Jie's light system mutation.

That's why the students were kept in the dark.

«Old Deng, it seems this kid plans to trick us!» A professor chuckled.

If Song Jie didn't even use his light system, a one-against-a-hundred was very likely!

If he succeeded, all their resources would go to him!

«Sigh, we underestimated the younger generation,» another professor sighed.

Old Deng didn't speak but felt a hidden pain, regretting his past decisions.

Fortunately, Song Jie probably couldn't manage a one-against-two-hundred-and-fifty, or he would be utterly humiliated!

He looked down at the competition area.

In less than a minute, another four were dealt with by Song Jie.

The surroundings were silent, tense; could Song Jie really win?

With thousands of freshmen, could none stop Song Jie?

In the audience, a girl remembered Song Jie's arrogance and turned to her friend, «Yumian, aren't you a mid-level fire mage too? You can restrain plant-based systems; why not give it a try?»

Beside her, a girl with silky long hair watched Song Jie in the competition area and said, «If it's just me, I can't beat him.»
