Versatile Mage: The Crimson Flame Lion, the Strongest Spirit!

Chapter 22 Pearl Academy, tutors exchange ideas

"President Xiao, you're too kind." Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Haha, you're already a high-level mage at such a young age. This isn't something you can just boast about."

Dean Xiao smiled heartily, his eyes full of admiration and praise for Li Xuan.

According to Pang Lai, his disciple is already a high-level multi-system mage, and such talent is truly rare in the world.

"It's just some coincidences. I hope we can make progress together with you at Mingzhu Academy this time." Li Xuan responded modestly.

"Of course, of course." The department heads of the Qing campus also nodded with a smile.

A genius like Li Xuan, who is both extremely gifted and humble, is extremely rare. This is the first time they have seen one in all these years!
Seeing this, Dean Xiao nodded with satisfaction, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation, "The younger generation needs people like you to take the lead."

He paused, then continued, "There's something else I want to discuss with you."

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, "President Xiao, please feel free to speak."

"Pang Lai told me that the reason you came to Mingzhu Academy was that although you were a teacher, you also wanted to demonstrate your strength." Dean Xiao said with a smile.

He naturally knew what that old fellow Pang Lai meant by sending his favorite disciple to Mingzhu Academy.

After all, China's ranking in the World Government Competition has not been high for a long time.

It's a rare opportunity for such a talent to appear this time around. Wouldn't it be a shame not to let him win a championship?!
"Okay." Li Xuan didn't refuse.

Just showing strength, simple.

When Dean Xiao saw Li Xuan agreed so readily, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"That's good. I'm thinking of arranging a sparring match with the instructors, so that the students can see your style and put some pressure on them."

"No problem. What are the specific arrangements?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.

"You can select a few department instructors from the main campus or Qing campus. You can choose to fight one against many, or compete with them one by one." Dean Xiao introduced enthusiastically.

Li Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said confidently, "Let's fight one against many. This will save time and allow everyone to see the combined responses of different magic systems more comprehensively."

When the department heads heard this, they couldn't help but be secretly astonished, and they had even more expectations for Li Xuan's ability.

Fighting against multiple high-level instructors alone is not something that most people would dare to do lightly.

"Good boy, you have guts!" Dean Xiao patted Li Xuan's shoulder with satisfaction, and then instructed the instructor, "Go and arrange publicity. Let the entire school know about this competition."

Afterwards, Dean Xiao personally took Li Xuan to the residence prepared for him by the school.

…………

Soon, the day of the competition arrived.

The large martial arts arena was surrounded by students early on, and everyone was looking forward to the competition between Li Xuan and the senior instructors.

This venue is no smaller than the magic duel arena in the imperial capital, and may even be larger.

"Sister Mu, is that Li Xuan who is rumored to have beaten the graduates of the Imperial Capital Academy? He looks so handsome!" A girl with an unusually big chest in the crowd said in a crazy way.

"Tutu, he is very strong!" Mu Nujiao said seriously.

As the eldest daughter of a noble family, she has some understanding of people from various forces.

Among them, Li Xuan is the most surprising in recent times.

"Of course he is strong. As far as I know, Li Xuan joined Mingzhu Academy as a teacher." Ai Jiangtu's eyes sparkled.

"Teacher?" Mu Nujiao was a little surprised.

She didn't quite understand the term "teacher", but she knew that her instructor's cultivation was at a high level.

"That's right, he is going to challenge a high-level mentor, he must be terribly strong!" Ai Tutu became infatuated again.

……

At noon, Dean Xiao and the department heads ascended the viewing platform. Li Xuan, dressed in a black suit, walked into the arena with an upright posture.

"Which ones do you want to challenge?" Dean Xiao asked from the podium, and then began to introduce the instructors below one by one:
"There are ten instructors here, namely Fire, Thunder, Wind, Earth, Psychic, Water, Plant, Shadow, Light, and Ice. Of course, you don't need to choose all of them. You can just pick three."

"Yeah," Li Xuan nodded.

"My three magics are Fire, Summoning, and Psychic. In that case, let's use these three."

Dean Xiao nodded slightly when he heard Li Xuan's choice.

He gestured towards the three selected mentors in the audience.

The three instructors immediately walked onto the arena with serious expressions.

The fire mentor Wang Meng is a tall and strong man.

Lin Yue, the instructor of the Summoning Department, is a beautiful woman.

Su Ran, the spiritual mentor, has an elegant temperament and wears a pair of black-framed glasses, giving people the demeanor of a gentle scholar.

But those who know him well know that beneath his seemingly gentle appearance lies a powerful spiritual strength.

The three mentors stood still and looked at Li Xuan.

At this time, the students around the training ground all quieted down.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for this exciting competition to begin.

Dean Xiao stood up and announced loudly: "The game begins!"

As Dean Xiao finished speaking, Instructor Wang Meng took the lead in launching the attack.

"Fierce Fist·Nine Palaces!"

Suddenly, several huge pillars of fire shot out from the ground of the martial arts field, like roaring fire pythons, rushing towards Li Xuan.

"Wow, it's hot!"

The scorching heat distorted the surrounding air, and the audience could feel the rolling heat waves coming towards them.

At the same time, a moon-white light flashed under Instructor Lin Yue's feet.

"Iron-armored Rhinoceros!"

A huge armored rhinoceros stepped out from the light. It was covered with hard armor. It dug the ground with its four hooves, let out bursts of dull roars, and rushed towards Li Xuan.

Teacher Su Ran stood in place, closed his eyes, and an invisible mental wave spread towards Li Xuan, trying to interfere with his magic.

Facing the joint attack from the three mentors, Li Xuan remained calm.

"Be careful, everyone." Li Xuan pushed with both hands, and flames spread out from his body.

A fiery red flame with an incomparable dignity spread throughout the entire venue.

The mere spread of it scared away the flames and armored rhinos.

"It's actually a fire domain, and it looks like there are soul seeds!" Dean Xiao's eyes lit up again, and his smile became more intense.

Good boy, you are worthy of being Pang Lai’s favorite disciple.

"It depends on you. His is the soul seed flame." Wang Meng said with a wry smile.

"I'm afraid I can't do it either. The news that came out from the imperial capital before was that Teacher Li Xuan's contracted beast is a dragon." Lin Yue also had a bitter look on his face.

Her sixth sense told her that once Li Xuan summoned his contracted beast, she would lose.

Su Ran didn't say anything. He was trying to arouse Li Xuan's spirit from beginning to end.

But cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, obviously he was under a lot of pressure!
