EFB Chapter 56 We Won
Chapter 56 We Won
Su Ming looked flustered and was about to step down from the stage to check when Mu Qianjin suddenly walked over and pointed in that direction, saying, "He seems to be alright."
Upon hearing Mu Qianjin's words, Su Ming saw a figure emerge from the thick smoke.
"Cough cough, what's going on with you guys!" Mu Bai coughed twice, his face looking rather unwell. He had been suddenly sent flying while meditating. Fortunately, it was just a small shockwave that woke him up. If his position had shifted even a little bit, Mu Bai's head would have been smashed open.
"It's better to meditate at a distance from now on," Mu Bai grumbled, then, as if nothing had happened, he sat down outside the barrier and continued his meditation.
The teachers in the Healing Department breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Mu Bai was alright. If there had been any accidental injury or death, they would have been severely punished.
"This guy has a big heart; he almost died and didn't even realize it."
"What can we do? We can only blame himself. Why did he sit so close to the meditation area?"
"What I mean is that this is Su Ming and Mu Qianjin's fault, and he should demand an explanation."
"I'm telling you, what right do you have to go to the rich man for an explanation when it's his own problem? Why don't you go and give him an explanation yourself?"
"Hey, can't you understand human language? You're such a simp, aren't you? You're defending someone you don't even know."
"I'll lick your mother's ass, think before you speak, or you might trip and fall on the street."
"I have such a bad temper."
……
Two people in the audience suddenly started arguing, their tone tense and they looked like they were about to come to blows.
On the stage, Mu Qianjin was already standing with Su Ming. Su Ming still couldn't control the compression range of the spatial rhythm. If he tried to suppress Mu Qianjin at this distance, he would be suppressed along with her. The compression would disappear. Indeed, even if Su Ming didn't release the compression effect, it wouldn't last long. It was just a mid-level spell. The compression itself would stop after the magic energy it brought was exhausted, unless the mage kept using magic energy to enhance the effect.
Xiao Qing hadn't left Su Ming's body yet; he felt as if he could fly away with a single leap, his clothes fluttering wildly in the wind.
Su Ming looked at Mu Qianjin and asked, "Aren't you going to fight anymore?"
"What's the point of fighting if we can't win? Let's not fight anymore." Mu Qianjin shook her head. It was just a friendly spar, not a life-or-death duel.
Su Ming didn't say anything. Mu Qianjin's meddling had almost exhausted him. Xiao Qing had also been almost completely drained by the summoning and magic systems. Fortunately, she escaped using her own energy.
It doesn't matter if the summoning magic power is depleted.
Before leaving, Mu Qianjin suddenly leaned close to Su Ming's ear and whispered, "I know you haven't undergone intermediate-level awakening yet."
After saying that, Mu Qianjin blinked and skipped off the stage.
Can you even tell if someone has awakened or not?
Su Ming was a little puzzled as to how Mu Qianjin knew, but he didn't want to ask, since it involved her privacy.
Mu Qianjin herself realized that he hadn't awakened, but he couldn't figure out how she had figured it out.
Su Ming shook his head, trying not to think about these things. He still had to continue. Only a little over one-tenth of the three hundred people had made it. Today was going to be tiring.
"Is anyone else here?" Su Ming shouted as he floated in the air, looking like he could take on ten people.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Ming is currently equivalent to a mid-level wind mage, and more importantly, he is also a space mage.
A mid-level dual-elemental mage—that's a very prestigious title.
The people on the stage looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.
However, there are many new students at the ancient capital's academy, and there are always some who cannot stand it. They feel that Su Ming's question is a sign of contempt for them, and they angrily walk off the stage.
They wanted to make Su Ming understand that even a beginner mage could defeat a mid-level mage.
Then those who came down were defeated.
People kept coming down after that. They no longer hoped to kill Su Ming; they only wanted to deplete some of his magical energy.
Having dealt with nearly two hundred in total, including the previous ones, Su Ming felt like he was about to collapse. His body felt like his bones had been loosened, his head was throbbing, and he didn't have enough magic energy.
"Change of personnel." Su Ming did not try to be brave and immediately switched places with Mu Bai, then ran down to meditate and recover his magical energy.
After meditating, Mu Bai recovered a lot of his demonic energy. Since he hadn't consumed much energy when he went down, he can now be considered to be in his complete form.
After taking down 79 people, Mu Bai was carried away by a burst of water energy cast by a mid-level water mage.
According to the previous version of the story, only twenty-seven people needed to be dealt with.
The students knew they couldn't delay any longer, so they rushed up while the mid-level water mage was still there.
All twenty-seven spots were filled immediately, and some people couldn't even get a turn because they were too slow.
Seeing that he was surrounded by people but couldn't see his old friend Xu Ze, he felt something was wrong.
Looking back, his old friend, who was about to step down as the finale, was now frozen in place because there were no more spots available and he couldn't get in.
The plan to ambush Su Ming thus failed.
This group of people are all beginner-level mages, and he's the only intermediate-level one. How to put it... Xu Ze felt a bit uncertain.
As expected, Su Ming unleashed his full power upon entering the arena, using a spatial compression technique to knock down a large number of people, preventing them from even casting spells. After Xiao Qing possessed him, she blew away another group.
His intermediate-level spell, Wave Surge, was also dodged by Su Ming jumping into the air.
With all three hundred people defeated, all the resources for this semester will now fall on Mu Bai and Su Ming.
The entire arena was silent. No one had expected this result. Although the teachers had commented on how good Su Ming and Mu Bai were in this and that, they never thought that the two could win this lopsided match. So much so that they forgot to announce the result.
"This...this can't be right." Some people couldn't believe it.
"Ah!! My resources!! My resources!!!" someone wailed.
The majority of the new students on stage were wailing and incredulous; only a small number remained calm. It wasn't that they had no thoughts, but they had already accepted their fate and didn't want to make a pointless protest.
"Did those two little ones win?" At that moment, the principal, who had been out for a trip, returned and asked with a smile.
"Principal, you guessed right, they really did win."
"Yes, Principal, how did you know they would win?"
"Principal, do you know these two people? Are you sure they can win because you know their abilities?"
"In terms of discernment, the old principal is still far superior; I am truly ashamed of my inferiority!"
When the old principal arrived, the teachers took turns praising him in various ways.
Now it was the old principal's turn to be dumbfounded. What?
They won?! How is that possible? There were three hundred people! How could they possibly win?
The old principal didn't believe it. He had long been convinced that Su Ming and Mu Bai would lose, and that he had only said it on purpose. Who knew that these two would actually win?
If they win, all the resources in the system will be theirs. What kind of punishment is this? I want punishment, forcing them to come and apologize, not giving them a reward!
The old principal cursed that old man from a certain university in Shanghai a hundred times in his heart. What kind of nonsense was this competition he organized to encourage students? He'd tricked him again.
The old principal was reluctant to speak, but now that the teachers were waiting for him, he couldn't throw a tantrum; he still needed to maintain his authority as principal.
