Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 318 Let's call him brother-in-law.

"Hey, when did two people sit next to the dean?"

"Aren't those Senior Jiang Yuan and Senior Mu Nujiao?"

"Holy crap! Senior Jiang Yuan is back!!"

Finally, a student spotted Jiang Yuan and Mu Nujiao.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

Almost everyone in the arena turned their attention to the teachers' viewing area, their eyes filled with excitement, curiosity, and admiration.

“Jiang Yuan? Is that Jiang Yuan?” Xu Tianlei also looked over.

“Yes, it’s him.” Lu Yiming nodded. “Since the last World University Competition ended, he has basically disappeared from the public eye. It wasn’t until the promotion of the Fusion Method and the Illusion and Soul systems that we learned he had gone off to study magic. With such high talent, he went off to study magic and wasted so much time.”

"However, the fusion method and the two new systems are indeed very strong, no doubt about it. Jiang Yuan's talent is not only strong in magic, but also in the research of magic, which is among the world's best!"

"Ah."

Xu Tianlei chuckled: "He looks about the same as an ordinary mage. For a mage, one's own strength is the most important thing. Jiang Yuan went off to study magic, so the title of the world's number one genius will only fall on my head in the future."

"That's not how it works. Every magic researcher deserves the respect of all magicians. After all, so many magical tools, artifacts, and techniques were developed by them. It is they who have continuously improved the overall strength of humanity, giving us more and more confidence to face the threat posed by demons," Lu Yiming instructed.

However, Xu Tianlei disagreed.

He believed that strength was enough. Once he advanced to the level of a forbidden spell mage, he would definitely go to the land of demons, kill those emperor demons, and become the savior of mankind!
The team competition was delayed by more than ten minutes due to Jiang Yuan's arrival.

By this time, the trainees from both teams had finished resting.

The team competition is a 5v5 match.

Besides Ping Qiuqiu, Ji Ming, and Zhang Fu, there are two other students at Mingzhu Academy: Mu Xian from the Department of Botany and Tang Xiaoshi from the Department of Light.

Tang Xiaoshi's secondary cultivation is earth-type. Earth-type has an innate effect that doubles the power of released earth-type magic, equivalent to twice the base value.

This was already very powerful, but after learning the Fusion Technique, Tang Xiaoshi discovered that the power of the Earth-Light Fusion Magic she released could be doubled, which greatly increased the upper limit of Earth-type effects.

With both sides ready, the referee gave the order, and the team competition officially began!
Mingzhu Academy immediately created a spellcasting space for Tang Xiaoshi, and earth magic quickly took over the area.

In this environment, Xu Tianlei's spirit was greatly weakened. He didn't have the endless death aura that Jiang Yuan could squander. Every injury suffered by his spirit was a great loss.

Unlike individual light magic, earth-light fusion magic does not provide the same illumination to everyone; it allows for selective application of light.

For example, both Xu Tianlei and Ji Ming have shadow magic. Xu Tianlei will find it difficult to cast shadow magic when illuminated by light, while Ji Ming will not be affected.

With the team competition halfway through, the situation had become quite clear.

Xu Tianlei struggled to move under the Earth Light Magic, unable to fully utilize his strength. His teamwork with his teammates was also clumsy, and it was clear that he rarely communicated with them.

Finally, amidst cheers and shouts.

Mingzhu Academy won the team competition.

They lost the individual match but won the team match.

It's a barely acceptable, albeit positive, ending.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan, led by Qin Yun, met with his little fans and gave them some encouragement, thus concluding his trip to Mingzhu Academy.

Although Qin Yun tried his best to persuade him to stay, when he heard that Jiang Yuan was going to the Mu family with Mu Nujiao, he gave an ambiguous smile and said no more.

…………

......... Mujia.

"Nu Xin, you've reached the age for marriage now. It's time to find a suitable young man," the head of the Mu family said earnestly to Mu Nu Xin beside him.

"I know."

Mu Nuxin lowered her eyes.

Unlike her older sister Mu Nujiao, she was not a genius in magic.

She was just an ordinary person without any magical talent, but fortunately she was quite intelligent and could help manage the family business.

The head of the family is right; it's time to find a suitable person.

If only I had magical talent, I could have the life I wanted.

Mu Nuxin sighed inwardly.

At this moment, Mu Nujiao and Jiang Yuan arrived at the Mu family. The family members quickly informed the family head and Mu Nuxin of their return.

The head of the shepherd family immediately came out to greet them.

Although Jiang Yuan has not yet fully revealed his identity as the King of the Underworld, the strength and talent he has demonstrated are already beyond what ordinary mages can match.

Even though the Mu family is one of the four major families in Shanghai, the head of the Mu family did not dare to neglect Jiang Yuan.

"My dear son-in-law, my dear son-in-law Jiang! Why didn't you tell me you were coming here? If the Mu family fails to entertain you properly, where will I, as the head of the family, put my face?" The head of the Mu family greeted him warmly with a smile.

"The whole family knows about us," Mu Nujiao whispered from the side.

Jiang Yuan nodded, then smiled and said to the head of the Mu family, "There's no need for much hospitality. I just came to see Nu Jiao. It's been so long, I've missed her terribly."

The head of the Mu family laughed and said, "Then this old fellow won't bother you any longer. You two can catch up and get to know each other. I'll go tell the cook to prepare today's meal."

After saying that, the head of the Mu family disappeared from their sight with lightning speed.

However, he forgot one thing.

Mu Nuxin, who came with him, was left here, staring at Jiang Yuan.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"Should I call you brother-in-law?" Mu Nuxin broke the silence and asked.

Before Mu Nujiao could speak, Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Although we're not married yet, it's almost the same. Just call me brother-in-law."

“Then I won’t disturb you and my brother-in-law. Oh, by the way,” Mu Nujiao was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and said, “You and my brother-in-law graduated from Mingzhu Academy. This year, the exchange students from Mingzhu Academy are training near a resource point in our Mu family. A high-level mage died there today. The news has only been sent back to the Mu family and hasn’t spread out yet. It would be best to tell them before the training begins.”

After she said that, Jiang Yuan instantly located the area and understood what had happened by looking at the plants.

It's nothing more than a commander-level demon digging a hole from somewhere else, and somehow it ended up near that resource point.

High-level mages are naturally no match for commander-level demons.

"I understand. I'll call the dean in a bit," Jiang Yuan said after understanding the situation.

"Then I'll be going now, so as not to disturb my sister and brother-in-law's time alone." Mu Nuxin waved her hand and left as quickly as the head of the Mu family.

Mu Nujiao was both amused and exasperated.
