Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 118: Yu Feng's Angryness and Dean Xiao's Confusion

The main campus of Pearl Academy, Fengyuan.

Yu Feng, who ranked eighth on the Wind Ranking, had just walked into the Wind Department's university when he saw everyone in the class looking at him strangely.

Yu Feng:?
Confused, he sat down next to a student with whom he had a good relationship, frowned and asked:
"What happened? Why are all of them looking at me? And their eyes are so strange?"

"How about you see for yourself?"

The other party's expression was hard to describe. A letter of challenge that had been passed through countless hands was handed to Yu Feng.

"That's it?"

"It's just a letter of challenge. What's so special about it?"

Yu Feng raised his eyebrows. It was just a letter of challenge. He spoke as if he had seen it before. Ever since he entered the main campus and gradually fought his way up to eighth place on the Wind Ranking, the letters of challenge he had received during this period could have been piled up two meters high. Was it really that exaggerated?

"Take a closer look at the contents."

content?

Yu Feng opened the challenge letter and read it word by word from beginning to end, but still found no problems.
"It's a normal letter of challenge. Any questions?"

"Look at the signature."

The friend seemed to be reluctant to let Yu Feng be kept in the dark, so he gave a reminder.

It was not until then that Yu Feng discovered something suspicious.
"Is there a person named Li Yu in our Fengyuan? Why don't I have any impression of him?"

Yu Feng frowned and thought, recalling carefully. As a magician, having a photographic memory is just a basic operation. Yu Feng is familiar with all the more than a thousand students in the Feng Academy, but he has no impression of this classmate Li Yu at all.

"Have."

The friend observed Yu Feng's expression and said cautiously:
"He is a freshman who just entered the main campus this year."

Yu Feng was silent for a while.
"Don't be ridiculous. I remember that the main campus assessment this year just ended two days ago. Those rookies have only just completed the admission procedures. How could they initiate a challenge so soon? It's okay to initiate a challenge, but no matter what, they can't challenge me. I'm in the top ten of the Wind Ranking after all. Who is the one who took the wrong medicine to challenge me?"

After saying this, Yu Feng saw that his friend was still serious, and his heart sank.
"Really? The person challenging me is really a freshman who just arrived at the main campus?"

My friend’s head nodded up and down.

In an instant, Yu Feng's expression changed and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

What was going on? When did a freshman dare to challenge a person who was in the top ten of the Wind Ranking? Was he unable to lift the knife, or were the freshmen too bold?

The most important thing is that Yu Feng is ranked 8th on the Wind Ranking. The resource rewards for the 8th and 10th place are exactly the same. This freshman did not challenge the 10th and 9th place, but chose to challenge him who is ranked 8th...

What does this mean? Does he think that he is unworthy of being ranked eighth?
No wonder the whole class looked at him with such strange eyes early in the morning, especially the guys who didn't get along with him. They must have been laughing in their hearts.

"Okay, okay, very good."

Yu Feng held this unique letter of challenge in his hand and said in a low voice,

"Since my junior has the interest and courage to do this, then as a senior, I have to give him some guidance."

One week from now will be Fengyuan's biweekly challenge week. Yu Feng has made up his mind that when the time comes, he will let that ignorant freshman know why he got the eighth place!

Li Yu didn't know that he had been hated by the seniors in the main campus. Of course, Li Yu had already anticipated that the other party would not be in a good mood when he sent out the challenge letter.

As one of the top ten students in Fengyuan, he was challenged by a freshman. No one could treat it with a normal attitude.

In particular, the very topical news that the freshman who had just entered the main campus challenged the top ten on the list must have spread throughout the main campus. Regardless of whether he managed to keep his position in the top ten in the end, his reputation was bound to decline.

As for Li Yu, the instigator, he was currently following Dean Xiao to the Three-Step Pagoda.

"Li Yu, I think I've seen you before you entered school." As they walked, Dean Xiao began to chat with Li Yu, who could only answer honestly.

"Yes, I visited the main campus of the university before the college entrance examination, and I accidentally bumped into you, the dean."

Dean Xiao's memory seemed to go back to the day when he ran into Li Yu.
"At the time, I thought that you, a little fellow, had extraordinary strength, but I never thought that you actually had the power to overthrow an advanced demon."

"Can you tell me what your powers are?"

"This was trained by a friend of mine, and it cost a lot of money at the time." Li Yu answered very naturally.

"Oh? Your friend is very capable of improving your physical fitness to the level of an advanced demon!"

As Li Yu expected, Dean Xiao showed obvious interest after hearing this answer.

"Indeed, my friend is a research genius who graduated from the Chinese National University and is a student of a professor named Mu Qiushan."

"Mu Qiushan's student!"

Dean Xiao cried out in surprise. Judging from the other party's reaction, Shi Liang's mentor should be a very famous scholar. Even a strong man of Dean Xiao's level lost his composure because of him.

But what puzzled Li Yu was that he could not find any information about Professor Mu Qiushan through the channels of Mingzhu Academy. It was as if this person did not exist, and he did not know which confidential department he had been recruited to work in.

The name Mu Qiushan seemed to have had a significant impact on Dean Xiao. After that, Dean Xiao did not speak again. Instead, he lowered his head in thought and led the way for Li Yu, leaving the latter a little confused.

It was Li Yu's intention to overturn the Phantom Wolf Beast in public, because his special physical fitness would eventually be displayed in public one day. In that case, he might as well expose it openly.

According to the last contact with Shi Liang, Li Yu's specialized version of the magic energy enhancement theory has been basically completed, and he is just waiting for him to find time to go back and turn the theory into practice.

As for the strengthening method of ordinary mages, Shi Liang said that it is only necessary to timely delete some steps according to the specialized version of Li Yu's theoretical plan and significantly reduce the indicators before it can be officially activated.

It was a brand new theory that would soon be made public to the theoretical magic world, so there was no need to be too defensive. Moreover, Shi Liang was in great need of ready-made experimenters, covering all kinds of magic. Only with a large number of successful examples could he attract the attention of the theoretical magic world, reduce the difficulty of applying the new theory, and gain recognition from those stubborn and conservative magic scholars.

Originally according to the plan of Li Yu and Shi Liang, Li Yu was to help poach people from Mingzhu Academy. This was a long-term task, and Li Yu and Shi Liang were not in a hurry.

But for some reason, Shi Liang's research progressed by leaps and bounds, directly solving most of the dangerous nodes in the theory of magic energy enhancement, greatly reducing the risk of turning theory into practice, and successfully tested it on Yan Mu and Li Wenyou.

At this moment, the urgency of recruiting on a large scale immediately became apparent.

Since the experimenter's control over magical power is required to be high, magicians who meet the requirements are extremely rare. It was at this time that Shi Liang thought of the students of Mingzhu Academy, a group of gifted students across the country. If he could reach a cooperation with Mingzhu Academy, everything would not be a problem.

But Mingzhu Academy is such a powerful institution that it is obviously impossible for them to cooperate with Shi Liang easily. Therefore, Shi Liang simply went all out and released Li Yu to lure the old masters of Mingzhu and strengthen the magician's body. What a tempting prospect! As long as he started this, there is no doubt that Mingzhu Academy will be tempted.

Moreover, Shi Liang had thought it through very clearly. Even if Li Yu had entrusted his trust to the wrong person, the higher-ups at Mingzhu Academy were a bunch of greedy bastards. Their first reaction after getting the news would be to look for Shi Liang, the creator of the theory, rather than Li Yu, an experimental subject. The risk was not high for Li Yu.

As for Li Yu's dissuasion out of concern that something might happen to Shi Liang, it was obvious that Li Yu could not persuade Shi Liang, the researcher at the top.

Dean Xiao brought Li Yu to the front of the Three-Step Pagoda, explained the precautions for cultivation, and then turned and left. When he was far away, he muttered in a low voice:

"Mu Qiushan's student? Could it be that he has inherited the old lunatic's theory? But that shouldn't be the case. I have examined Li Yu and he is absolutely normal."

"Could that old madman's theory really work?"

Immediately, Dean Xiao shook his head violently.
"Impossible. If it really worked, there wouldn't have been so many deaths over such a long period of time without any progress."

Then there was another wave of doubt.
"But how did his student succeed?"

"..."

Dean Xiao was puzzled.
