Chapter 4: Who Will Be Number One?

On the assessment platform, Mu Bai stood next to Mu Zhuoyun, with Mu Ningxue in front of him.

He looked at Mu Ningxue longingly, but his status was clear—he couldn't overstep it!

He was merely a relative of the Mu family, and he could only demonstrate his value through this magic assessment! Only then could he secure more resources from the Mu family! And perhaps even catch Mu Ningxue's eye…

As long as he took first place in this magic assessment, the Mu family would definitely invest resources to cultivate him!

By then, he would leave his peers far behind!

Mo Fan watched the people ahead of him in the magic assessment, a wide grin spreading across his face.

«When it's my turn, I'll surely blind them with my brilliance! Especially that Mu Bai!»

Thinking of this, he felt full of confidence, eager to see the faces of those who mocked him! Mo Fan was born with dual elements and had a jade pendant that accelerated his cultivation speed. Now, he could release magic from both elements! Among his peers at Tianlan Magic High School, probably no one could match him!

…

The magic assessment proceeded, class by class.

After a long while, it was finally Class Eight's turn!

Next to Mu Bai stood a middle-aged man in a suit.

«Mu Bai, perform well in this magic assessment.»

«I will.» Mu Bai nodded heavily. This man was his uncle, Mu He.

With that, he walked towards the star sensing stone; the first assessment was the stardust test!

At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Mu Bai, as he was the top student of Class Eight!

They all wanted to know what score Mu Bai would achieve! Mu Bai met everyone's gaze, walked to the platform with the star sensing stone, and placed his hand on it! Soon!

The star sensing stone reacted! White icy light immediately spread from within the stone, extremely intense! «Wow!»

«Wow, his icy light is much stronger than mine!»

«Is this the power of someone from the Mu family? So strong!»

…

The crowd was amazed and envious of Mu Bai's performance! At the same time, the three teachers in charge of the first assessment began to grade Mu Bai!

In no time, three S grades appeared in front of everyone! «Three S's!!»

«All this time, there hasn't been a single triple S in the first round of assessments, right?»

«This Mu Bai has broken the record for the first round!»

…

Instantly, the crowd erupted in chatter, not expecting such a result! Mu Bai was very satisfied, glancing at Mu Ningxue, but her face remained expressionless, still cold.

He looked away and turned to Mo Fan, a slight smirk on his lips.

«Fan, did you see Mu Bai's look just now? It seemed like he was provoking you!» Zhang Xiaohou said.

«Mu Bai is Mu Bai. He got three S's. I wonder if certain people can match that,» Zhao Kun San also glanced at Mo Fan.

Zhang Xiaohou was about to say something when Mo Fan pulled him back and shook his head.

«Teacher, I'm ready for the magic release assessment!» Mu Bai said.

The crowd looked again. This time, Mu Bai's magic release assessment was not as outstanding as his stardust test; he only got a B grade! «Mu Bai's final score: stardust assessment S, magic release assessment B!» the teacher announced.

Nevertheless, Mu Bai's current score was the best so far.

«Next, Mo Fan!»

Mo Fan walked towards the star sensing stone, meeting everyone's gaze.

Song Jie, knowing the upcoming events, just watched with interest.

Someone placed a dark stone under the star sensing stone, trying to sabotage Mo Fan! Fortunately, it was discovered in time, allowing Mo Fan to avoid a disaster and get a retest! Soon!

Mo Fan completed the first stardust assessment, scoring three S's just like Mu Bai, with a final score of S!

«Mo Fan also got three S's!!»

«Oh my god, wasn't he admitted through the back door? How did he get three S's too?»

«Zhao Kun San, Fan also got three S's, why aren't you barking now?»

…

The crowd buzzed with discussion. Mo Fan turned his head and gave Mu Bai a look.

Mu Bai saw this and gritted his teeth in frustration!! Next, Mo Fan proceeded with the magic release assessment, ending with an S grade as well!! «Damn, Fan's release also got an S!!» Zhang Xiaohou was so excited he nearly jumped up! Mu Bai saw this and nearly ground his teeth to pieces; he didn't expect this outcome! At this moment, everyone believed Mo Fan was the top candidate in this assessment!

After all, he got S grades in both assessments—who could surpass that?

At this moment, Mu Zhuoyun suddenly extended an olive branch to Mo Fan.

«Mu Zhuoyun, have you lost your mind?» Mo Fan looked at Mu Zhuoyun, the director of Tianlan Magic High School.

…

The scene became chaotic. No one expected Mo Fan to speak to the director like this.

However, Song Jie understood Mo Fan's feelings.

Three years ago, the Mu family had been suppressing Mo Fan's family, saying many humiliating things! Because of this! Mo Fan's attitude towards Mu Zhuoyun could never be good! …

The argument on stage grew increasingly intense, almost turning into a physical fight!

The audience felt a mix of tension and excitement, but in the end, it didn't escalate.

«Alright, alright, Master Mu, calm down. Since it's settled, we'll wait until graduation day,» the principal of Tianlan Magic High School said with a smile.

Mo Fan was an outstanding student at Tianlan Magic High School, and the principal didn't want anything to happen to him.

Meanwhile, they had already agreed that Mo Fan would duel after graduation! «Alright, alright, everyone calm down. There are still other students who haven't taken the assessment,» the principal said.

The crowd was reluctant but continued with the next magic assessments.

«Next, Song Jie!»

Hearing his name, Song Jie walked onto the stage.

After the previous scene, Mo Fan's performance was so outstanding that everyone thought he was already number one.

«Let's begin,» the bald assessment teacher said to Song Jie.

Song Jie nodded and placed his hand on the star sensing stone.

In the next moment! A dazzling golden light suddenly reflected from the star sensing stone!! At this moment, all eyes were immediately drawn to the golden light from the star sensing stone!

«Is this golden light trying to blind me!!»

«Who is this person, emitting such golden light!»

«Is this the golden light of the light element? Is my light element fake?»

…

Not only were the students below surprised, but even the observing teachers were stunned.

«This…»

The three grading teachers were momentarily dumbfounded, frozen in place.

They didn't know how to grade this.

Song Jie's golden light had surpassed the S grade scale; how should they grade it?
