Chapter 32: Finally, I’ve Been Waiting for This! (Part 1)

Liu Xiaotian's face turned pale. Redeem the magic tool with money? Impossible!

This magic tool costs at least several million. His monthly allowance was just a small fraction of that amount. How could he redeem it? Ask his family for money?

If his family found out he used the magic tool for gambling, they would break his legs.

«A bet is a bet, I'll find a way to handle the magic tool situation,» said Bai Liang with a cold expression.

«Thank you, Brother Liang!» Liu Xiaotian's face lightened a bit with Bai Liang's assurance.

Bai Liang's cold face turned towards Liu Xiaotian, who had some familial connection with him.

Moreover, this matter involved him as well, and he didn't want to get dragged down.

Soon, Dean Xiao and the others had come to a decision.

They approached Song Jie and the others to announce the assessment results.

Everyone was nervous but also full of anticipation.

Dean Xiao stood out, scanning them as he spoke, «The special recruitment requirements are high, but we saw many outstanding students.»

«This time, we decided to add two more spots. We hope you cherish this opportunity and don't disappoint our expectations.»

As Dean Xiao finished speaking, an old professor stepped forward to announce the list: «The following four people will be admitted to Mingzhu Academy: Song Jie, Bai Liang, Liu Xiaotian, and Mu Lei.»

Upon hearing this, those who were not selected showed disappointment.

Although they were here to try their luck, they still had some expectations.

However, reality struck, and they had to look for other academies.

«You four can report directly when the school starts…» The assessment teacher led them to a place and explained some points to note.

«Song Jie, you are a light element mage, so report to the Light Element Academy when school starts,» the assessment teacher began arranging them.

The dean of the Light Element Academy was already eyeing Song Jie, eager to have him report immediately.

Someone mocked, «Old Deng, weren't you always skeptical? Why are you grinning ear to ear now?»

However, Old Deng didn't mind the teasing. After all, Song Jie would still be a student of the Light Element Academy!

At this moment, Song Jie spoke up, «Teacher, can I switch academies?»

In Mingzhu Academy, different academies are divided for convenient teaching.

For instance, there's the Thunder Element Academy, and similarly, the Light Element Academy.

«Switch academies?» The assessment teacher was slightly stunned; she hadn't expected Song Jie to say that.

However, she didn't have the authority to decide, only the dean could approve such a request.

«You can talk to the dean about it; I don't have the authority to switch your academy,» the assessment teacher replied.

Upon hearing this, Old Deng's face fell. Song Jie wanted to switch academies?!

The other old professors couldn't help but laugh quietly on the side. If Song Jie switched, Old Deng wouldn't be so smug anymore.

«Song Jie, why do you want to switch academies? If you join our academy, I will ensure you get the best cultivation resources,» Old Deng promised.

Song Jie not only possessed a mutated light element talent but also had top-tier cultivation.

He could be given special treatment in resource allocation.

«Thank you, but I still want to switch academies,» Song Jie said firmly.

The Light Element Academy didn't appeal to him anymore as he had also awakened the Summoning Element. Therefore, he chose to transfer to the Summoning Element Academy.

The Summoning Element was still very unfamiliar to him and nurturing summoning beasts required a lot of resources.

Compared to the Light Element, the Summoning Element was more expensive.

Dean Xiao walked in and asked kindly, «Song Jie, which academy do you want to transfer to?»

«The Summoning Element Academy.»

As soon as Song Jie finished speaking, the professors looked at each other in astonishment.

«You awakened the Summoning Element as your second element?» Dean Xiao asked.

Song Jie nodded.

Upon hearing this, the professors were visibly unsettled.

Song Jie not only had a mutated light element but his second element was also the Summoning Element!!

«It must be a recent awakening, otherwise, it would have been noted in your file,» Dean Xiao continued.

«Yes.»

Dean Xiao said, «Our Mingzhu Academy respects every student's choice. I will ensure your transfer.»

«Dean…!» Old Deng was immediately unhappy. This was an excellent student, and he didn't want to let go!

«Old Deng, it's Song Jie's choice. As teachers, we shouldn't hinder their decisions, right?» Dean Xiao said.

Old Deng hesitated, sighed, and didn't say anything more to Song Jie.

«Hahaha, look at you now. He's leaving, isn't he?» The professors laughed.

One professor said, «I thought the Summoning Element Academy wouldn't open this year, but Song Jie saved the entire Summoning Element.»

«Indeed, it seems we have no other students in the Summoning Element this year.»

Listening to their conversation, Song Jie was taken aback. Does this mean he's the only student in the Summoning Element? «This…»

Song Jie didn't know what to say. He turned and became the sole student of the Summoning Element!

«Song Jie, come with me,» Dean Xiao called him away.

In the office, Dean Xiao asked about his mutated light element.

Song Jie only mentioned the skill changes and how his basic magic had the power of intermediate magic.

As for whether his magic would continue to mutate at the intermediate level, he told Dean Xiao that he didn't know.

Dean Xiao encouraged him, «Keep cultivating. The heavens never let down those who work hard.»

«I will,» Song Jie nodded and asked some questions about the Summoning Element.

Finally, Dean Xiao gave him the contact information of the head of the Summoning Element Academy.

Song Jie was flattered but thought about his future interactions with this head, so he calmed down.

After saying goodbye to Dean Xiao, he left the office and returned home.

Song Jie didn't immediately contact the head but planned to master the seven stars of the Summoning Element first!

The summer vacation followed, and while many who finished the college entrance exam went out to play, Song Jie focused entirely on his cultivation.

Perhaps due to the Earth Holy Spring, the bronze bracelet he wore extended his cultivation time significantly.

Clearly! The bracelet had upgraded after absorbing the Earth Holy Spring! Because of this, his cultivation time increased, speeding up his progress.

In the following time, Song Jie cultivated both the Summoning and Light Elements, spending more time on the Summoning Element.

At the same time, he controlled the forty-nine stars of the intermediate Light Element.

As long as he could connect the forty-nine stars into a star map, he could cast intermediate Light Element magic!

At the end of July, Song Jie opened his eyes from cultivation, showing a delighted expression! «Finally!!» After a month of tedious cultivation, he almost couldn't take it anymore.

Song Jie could now control the seven stars of the Summoning Element, connecting them into a star path!

This way, he could cast the basic Summoning Element magic skill—Dimensional Summoning! He had been waiting for this day for so long, and it finally arrived.
