Chapter 54: His Light Element is Like This?

When the golden light faded, Song Jie was no longer in his original position!

At that moment, Bai Liang realized that Song Jie had changed positions; otherwise, his Thunder Seal would have definitely hit him.

With a «bang,» Bai Liang crashed into the wall and fainted, unwilling to accept his defeat.

Seeing this, the teacher hurriedly called for someone to carry him away.

The onlookers were astonished by what they saw.

What just happened? They had no idea! However, they all guessed that Song Jie was responsible for everything.

In the audience, some professors were in despair after witnessing the scene.

Obviously! Bai Liang had been defeated again! And just like before, he met a miserable end!!

Old Deng's face turned ashen. He feared that no one could stop Song Jie now.

Although there were still a mid-tier fire mage and a mid-tier light mage in the arena, he had no hope. Simultaneously, he regretted his previous actions, wondering why he had held such a grudge!!

Jiang Yunming looked at the silent professors, feeling a sense of satisfaction!! Serves you right for coveting the Summoning Department's cultivation resources! Now you've shot yourselves in the foot, haven't you?

In the arena, Lu You and another student were stunned to see Bai Liang eliminated! The scene happened so quickly that they found it hard to accept.

Although Bai Liang was out, the two of them were not, so they immediately focused on Song Jie.

«His summoned beast can't hold out for long. You protect me, and I'll wear it down!» said the fire mage.

Lu You nodded.

This person was a fire mage, capable of countering plant-based summoned beasts, so they still had a chance to win!

The fire mage was ready, connecting the star tracks in his spiritual world and drawing the star map!

Song Jie smiled slightly, raised his arm, and aimed his spell at them!

Seeing this, Lu You guessed that Song Jie was about to attack them and quickly started drawing his star map! He drew the star map faster than the fire mage!

A golden ball of light flew out from Song Jie's palm, transforming into a beam of golden light mid-flight! Seeing this, the fire mage turned to Lu You! Song Jie only took a second to cast a basic spell, but they needed several seconds to complete a mid-tier spell! Therefore, Song Jie seized the initiative!!

Lu You reacted quickly. He was the first to complete the star map, and a golden hexagram appeared beneath his feet! «Light Blessing!»

«Holy Shield!!»

Standing behind the fire mage, Lu You's golden light enveloped him, instantly forming a golden protective layer around the fire mage.

With a «whoosh,» the golden laser collided with the golden protective layer!!

The two neutralized each other! Seeing this, the fire mage breathed a sigh of relief, and his spell was complete!

However!

Just as he was about to cast it, another laser beam approached quietly!

«Two beams!!»

The fire mage's face was filled with horror. He didn't expect Song Jie to release two beams of light!!

But it made sense. While he was casting a mid-tier spell, Song Jie could easily cast two basic spells! At this moment, he knew he was doomed!

The laser hit him head-on, and even Lu You behind him couldn't react in time.

With another «whoosh,» the fire mage was struck by the laser and sent flying out of the arena.

The entire place fell silent!

Everyone now understood how Bai Liang had lost! The fire mage's situation was identical to Bai Liang's! Now, only the light mage remained, and he was no match…

«How is his light element different from ours?» a light mage exclaimed.

Others quickly realized that they had initially focused on winning or losing. Now that they thought about it, it really was different.

Someone was puzzled: «How can his light element be offensive? What's going on?»

Someone understood: «No wonder he was so boastful. This must be his trump card!»

«Our cultivation resources…!»

Everyone looked regretful. With Song Jie's one-against-a-hundred victory, their cultivation resources were as good as gone.

Huang Xingli stared blankly at Song Jie in the arena and said, «Three mid-tier mages couldn't do anything to him.»

Ding Yumian didn't say anything. She looked at Song Jie, thinking he was even more powerful than she had imagined.

«Yumian, what's up with this guy's light element? Isn't it supposed to be defensive in the early stages?» Huang Xingli asked.

«I don't know.» Ding Yumian shook her head. She had no idea what was going on with Song Jie's light element.

Before, they thought Song Jie was just a mid-tier light mage, so they only needed to defeat his summoned beast.

But now! Who would have thought a light element could be offensive!

And its attack power was astonishing!

At this moment, they also recalled previous events!

That wasn't just light radiance; it might have been a time bomb!!

In the end, the light mage was no match for Song Jie and was quickly dealt with.

Song Jie successfully completed his one-against-a-hundred feat!! The entire place fell silent!

Some were happy, while others were worried!

At this moment, Dean Xiao walked up to the podium, took the microphone, and said, «Student Song Jie has completed the one-against-a-hundred challenge. As previously agreed, we will allocate all cultivation resources to the Summoning Department!»

Upon hearing this, the students erupted into chaos.

«All the resources are going to him? What about us!»

«Dean, we students from ordinary families can't compete with those from prestigious families!»

«Yes, if you give him all the resources, what will happen to us students from ordinary families??»

The students voiced their concerns, shouting toward the podium.

The professors behind Dean Xiao exchanged bewildered looks, unsure of what to do with the students' outcry.

«Quiet!»

As soon as Dean Xiao spoke, the entire place fell silent.

He looked around, his tone severe: «Who told you that Student Song Jie is from a prestigious family?»

Hearing this, the students looked at each other, faces showing disbelief—he's not from a prestigious family? How is that possible!!

Dean Xiao explained: «Student Song Jie comes from Bo City. Do you think he's from a prestigious family?»

Upon hearing this, the students seemed to remember something.

«Bo City? The one that was invaded by demons not long ago?»

«It seems so. I saw it on the news!»

«How did this guy train!»

Dean Xiao looked at them and continued: «The school is a competitive place. This beast battle was meant to show you one thing: if you lack competitiveness, how will you gain resources in society?»

«If it were you, could you complete a one-against-a-hundred challenge?»

Silence fell over the area, and many lowered their heads.

Knowing that Song Jie wasn't from a prestigious family, they no longer thought he was only stronger because he had more resources. «And the resources are rightfully earned by Song Jie through his own efforts,» Dean Xiao warned. «You should reflect on why a hundred of you couldn't defeat him!»

The students lowered their heads even more, feeling the shame of it all.
