Chapter 51

Everyone saw an opportunity and scrambled to challenge Song Jie to a duel.

«Form a line! No noise!» the teacher in charge of maintaining order shouted sternly.

However, the students paid no attention to him and continued to push and shove, eager to be at the front.

The teacher, suppressing his anger, looked at the crowd and said, «Anyone who makes noise or moves out of place will lose their qualification to challenge!»

At that moment, the crowd finally quieted down.

«Don't move! If anyone changes places again, you won't get to challenge Song Jie!»

Seeing that the students had calmed down, the teacher allowed four students to proceed to the competition area.

«Hurry up and get over here!» Song Jie urged them impatiently.

The four, seeing Song Jie's anxiety, were inwardly delighted and walked slowly, unhurriedly.

What they didn't know was that everything Song Jie did was deliberate.

He had already won against so many people, causing some to reconsider their approach.

What he needed to do next was to lull his opponents into a false sense of security, creating the illusion that they could win.

«Hurry up and get in here so my summoned beast can finish you off quickly,» Song Jie taunted.

«How arrogant!» The four were infuriated upon hearing this.

This guy, at the end of his rope, was still so cocky!

Without another word, they entered the competition area.

But within thirty seconds, all four were eliminated.

«That was thirty seconds!»

«And two of them even cast spells!»

«Did you notice? His summoned beast seems to have slowed down a lot!»

The crowd thought that Song Jie's summoned beast was about to give out, and they eagerly awaited seeing him embarrassed.

The students in line were even more excited, hoping Song Jie would hold out long enough for them to defeat him in front of everyone.

Soon, another wave of students challenged Song Jie, bringing his headcount to sixty!

In the audience, a few male students were watching Song Jie.

«Bai Liang, it looks like we won't need to step in to deal with this guy,» said a long-haired boy with a middle part, smiling.

They had planned to team up against Song Jie, but it seemed unnecessary now.

«By the way, Bai Liang, why are you targeting him?» another asked.

They didn't think Bai Liang was after resources; they all came from influential families with ample resources.

The fact that Bai Liang had been defeated by Song Jie hadn't spread, and he certainly wouldn't tell anyone as it was embarrassing.

«I just don't like him,» Bai Liang said.

The others said nothing and continued watching the match.

In no time, Song Jie won a few more matches, bringing his headcount to eighty!

Despite his summoned beast looking exhausted, it still held on.

The crowd in line started to stir, believing Song Jie's beast couldn't last much longer.

Someone excitedly said, «It's exhausted from the last few rounds; it can't hold on any longer!»

The students about to go on smiled, while those behind them were envious.

The chance to defeat Song Jie had nothing to do with them now!

Four students entered the competition area, locking eyes with Song Jie.

«Shit, Dongfang Ming is stepping in!» a noble student next to Bai Liang cursed.

Bai Liang glanced at Dongfang Ming, a genius from the Dongfang family in the Magic Capital!

A formidable opponent!

«That sneaky guy didn't step in earlier; he must be planning to steal the win!»

«Without his summoned beast, Dongfang Ming can easily handle Song Jie!»

Bai Liang looked at the competition area and said, «Don't underestimate him; he still has a trump card.»

«What?» The two turned to Bai Liang, confused.

«Just wait, Dongfang Ming won't defeat Song Jie,» Bai Liang said, still wary of Song Jie's light magic.

He had teamed up with two mid-level mages to strike Song Jie when he was close to completing a hundred consecutive wins, wanting to deliver a crushing blow!

Only then would he feel avenged!

The two boys beside Bai Liang were puzzled but continued watching the competition area.

Since Bai Liang said so, they wanted to see what tricks Song Jie had up his sleeve.

«Brothers, defeating Song Jie depends on this; let's go!» Dongfang Ming rallied his team.

The other three were excited, knowing Song Jie's summoned beast was on its last legs, making this the best chance to defeat him!

«Watch this!»

One of them charged forward, leaping into the air and completing his star path in the next moment.

«Earth Wave!»

«Collapse!»

The earth mage targeted Song Jie, knowing Earth Wave was useless against the flying Little Green.

Suddenly, the ground under Song Jie cracked and sank.

However, Song Jie wasn't trapped; Little Green's vines wrapped around his waist, lifting him away.

«Damn it!» the earth mage cursed, almost succeeding.

But the next moment, vines lashed out at him.

«Watch out!» A water mage quickly completed his star path, casting a water shield on the earth mage.

But this basic defense spell couldn't withstand Little Green's attack.

With a «bang,» the water shield shattered, and the earth mage was sent flying out of the competition area.

«Let me freeze it!» The ice mage in their team completed his star path and cast his spell.

«Ice Vines!»

«Freeze!»

In an instant, the vines in the competition area were frozen, covered in frost.

«Good chance!»

Dongfang Ming, waiting for this moment, immediately acted!

In his spiritual world, forty-nine stars connected, forming a star map!

In moments, a red hexagram appeared under Dongfang Ming's feet!

This was the star map of mid-level magic!

Seeing this, the crowd was stunned but quickly became excited!

One of these four was a mid-level mage!

Song Jie would finally lose, right?

They couldn't wait to see it!

Dongfang Ming already imagined the crowd cheering for him. He shouted:

«Flame Fist!»

«Sky Boom!»

Flames wrapped around his arm, and the next moment, he punched towards Little Green.

Blazing fire surged from his fist, a heatwave rushing towards Little Green.

Once Song Jie's summoned beast was dealt with, he would lose his biggest advantage, becoming easy prey!

Song Jie was surprised to see a mid-level mage among the four.

«This sly guy!!»

Unlike the aloof mid-level mages, this guy hid his identity and acted like an underdog!!
