Chapter 14 The Agreed Battle (Part 1)_1

Nina sighed softly, "Starting from the Yellow rank, the improvement of a Divine Music Master's strength can only rely on talent. Without talent, no amount of effort will make a difference. Otherwise, it wouldn't be known as the most thankless profession. But I have always believed that Divine Music Masters can become the most powerful mages on the continent. One day, beyond Faran's Seventh Tower, there will be another Tower of Divine Music Masters."

Fergerson was startled and shot Nina a look, "Praise Falan, Director Nina, don't say such things again."

Nina realized her slip of the tongue, her heart tightened, and she fell silent.

Fergerson's gaze shifted to the Divine Music Department cheerleading team below the stage, and those bare, white thighs made him involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva. Actually, despite his age, looking at the pleasing beauties of the Divine Music Department, even he couldn't help but feel envious of the younger generation.

"Ye Yinzhu, you must put forth your effort! Our Divine Music Department is the most powerful." A voice as smooth as pearls and jade rang out from the front of the Divine Music Department cheerleading team. A young girl, waving a specially made bouquet in her hands, cheered excitedly. If there were over five thousand men in the audience, then at least ninety-five percent of them had their eyes on this very girl. And more than seventy percent of those were swallowing hard and their eyes gleamed with desire.

As the captain of the Divine Music Department cheerleading team and the number one beauty of Milan Magic Martial Academy, Xiang Luan definitely had the capital to attract such attention.

Xiang Luan was not her actual name but a title. No one knew her real name; even within the records of the academy's students, her name was substituted with Xiang Luan. Xiang Luan is the name of a flower, the symbol of happiness, representing serenity, harmony, and generosity, embodying the free-spirited, optimistic, and open-minded spirit of the Milan Empire; it is the national flower of the Milan Empire. The Milanese loved it greatly, also calling it the Gold Lily.

Hearing that voice again, Ye Yinzhu, who was already standing on the stage, involuntarily turned his eyes in the direction of the sound. Although this wasn't his first time seeing Xiang Luan, upon seeing her, Ye Yinzhu felt his heartbeat quickening once again.

The same white dress and blue gown worn by Xiang Luan exuded an ethereal beauty. Standing around 1.7 meters tall with perfect golden ratio proportions, her long, rounded thighs were partly exposed. Her golden brown hair flowed in large waves down her back. Clear, light violet eyes sparkled, and as she moved lightly, she was as graceful as a startled swan and as gentle as a dragon in flight, as glorious as autumn chrysanthemums and as lush as spring pines. As if she were a light cloud veiling the moon or a gentle breeze returning the snow. From afar, she glowed like the sun rising through morning clouds. Upon closer inspection, she blazed like a lotus emerging from clear waves. Her stunning beauty made it impossible for anyone who saw her for the first time to look away. The other beauties of the Divine Music Department, standing behind her, even when their radiance was combined, could not compare to her alone.

When Ye Yinzhu first saw Xiang Luan, his mind went blank. He had seen quite a few beauties from the Divine Music Department, but the one who made his heart race and his cheeks flush with heat was only Xiang Luan. Xiang Luan gave him a completely different feeling, as her visage seemed imprinted deep in his heart.

At that moment, their eyes met, and Ye Yinzhu saw Xiang Luan's encouraging glance once again. Unconsciously, his entire body seemed to be filled with inexhaustible strength and surging confidence. Is she looking at me, is she encouraging me? Win, I must win together with the Divine Music Department.

"Hey, stop staring already, haven't you had enough?" Xueling's reproachful voice startled Ye Yinzhu out of his daze. "Ah! I..." The simplicity of his demeanor caused his cheeks to heat up a bit.

Xueling snorted and leaned in close to Ye Yinzhu, whispering, "Stop looking, it's no use. Do you know how many people in our academy are chasing after Elder Sister Xiang Luan? Not to mention, even if she did take a fancy to you, you wouldn't be able to handle it."

"Why?" Ye Yinzhu asked instinctively.

Xueling said, "Do you want to become the target of the entire academy? The competition is about to start, focus your mind."

Ye Yinzhu took a deep breath, no longer looked at Xiang Luan, and turned his attention to the opponents on the other side. It was the second time he had seen Roland; today, she was wearing the Milan Magic Martial Academy uniform. Although she was also beautiful, after seeing the breathtaking Xiang Luan and many other beauties from the Divine Music Department, Ye Yinzhu was almost immune to her. His initial intention in joining the freshman competition was to prove himself, and Roland could be said to be the instigator.

As the main fighter of the Wind Attribute team, Roland's expression seemed somewhat gloomy. She had indeed not expected that Ye Yinzhu could actually lead the Divine Music Department to compete and even achieve a series of victories.

"Roland, we meet again," said Ye Yinzhu, the main fighter of the Divine Music Department, as he approached her.

Roland snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you, poor boy, to have some ability, but your winning streak ends here. I will personally show you what real magic is, what real strength is."

These days in the academy, Ye Yinzhu had learned a lot. Coupled with his naturally calm nature and his upbringing surrounded by music, his mindset and temperament were one in a million. He was no longer so easily provoked. With a slight smile, he said, "Let's start then. We choose the group battle." He wouldn't argue; proving everything with facts was the best choice.

The five Wind Attribute competitors, aside from Roland, were all male. The instant the referee declared the start of the match, five yellow glows lit up at the same time. Following the Dark Demon Sect and the Brightness attribute, the Divine Music Department once again faced five competitors, all of Yellow rank.

Roland and three other students were Yellow-rank Beginners, while the sophomore student had reached High Rank Wind Attribute status. Wind Attribute magic might not be the strongest in attack, but it was definitely the fastest in speed. At the first opportunity, a piercing screech tore through the air, and dozens of reddish Wind Blades were released from the magic staffs of the five mages, covering the sky and flying towards Ye Yinzhu and his team.

A creamy white light shone, the ever-consistent Moon God's Protection quietly appeared, shielding the bodies of Ye Yinzhu and his team. The piece they chose to perform today was "White Snow." It was still a piece filled with sorrow. For Divine Music Masters, a sorrowful piece was the easiest to generate empathy, and thus the easiest to control the emotions of the opponents with their spiritual power. Given that their magic levels were generally lower than other departments, Nina arranged for all their pieces in the competition to be mainly sorrowful.

In preparation to fend off the opponents' attacks, Ye Yinzhu remained on guard. "White Snow" began with Haiyang's zither, and just as the clear zither music started, all of a sudden, the Wind Blades flying towards them changed. About several meters away from them, the Wind Blades unexpectedly altered direction; they rapidly collided with each other, and the ear-piercing screeches immediately disrupted the rhythm of the music, causing Haiyang's playing to hesitate slightly, and "White Snow" was abruptly interrupted.

The faces of Xueling, Lanxi, and Peacock all changed simultaneously; music was the only weapon for victory in the Divine Music Department, and being interrupted by the roaring of the wind was clearly not a good sign.

The collisions of the Wind Blades in the air didn't cease at all, the piercing sound of wind howls followed one after another. Aside from Roland and the high-ranked Wind Attribute student, the remaining three kept rapidly casting Wind Blades. They didn't attack the Moon God's Protection directly, but instead continued to collide with each other around it, blocking the music played by the four girls in the Divine Music Department with the violent friction noise generated by the colliding Wind Blades.
