Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 87 The Number One Genius Mage in the Country! (Please read on!!!)
"How come Mingzhu Academy suddenly has such a strong student? I'm so unwilling!" Liao Mingxuan said dejectedly.

If the skill levels are similar, they are confident they can get their revenge next time.

But the source of the river is like an insurmountable peak, inspiring no thought of surpassing it.

"It's alright, this is just a friendly spar. The real challenge is the training ahead. Go back and prepare well, and let's try to outshine Pearl Academy in the training!" Lu Yiming comforted him, even though he knew very well that with Jiang Yuan's demonstrated strength, the training wouldn't be difficult for him.

However, he couldn't bring himself to diminish his own morale while boosting the ego of others.

"Maybe."

Xu Dalong and the others sighed, their previous arrogance completely gone, their pride shattered.

Lu Yiming didn't know how to comfort them, so he could only tell them to go back and get some rest.

.....................

The results of the competition spread very quickly. In just one night, the entire capital city circle and almost all universities knew about the competition.

They never expected that Mingzhu Academy would be able to overpower the Imperial Capital Academy and win this competition.

It's important to know that in these kinds of exchanges, both sides send out the most outstanding students from their respective academies.

This proves that Jiang Yuan, a student from Mingzhu Academy who had never made a name for himself before, has already reached the top of the academy's students in terms of strength!

Therefore, many people began to inquire about the source of the river.

What they found out shocked everyone once again.

Jiang Yuan was actually a high-level necromancer who had awakened spatial magic and possessed the innate talent of the One Thought Star Chart.

Upon further investigation, they learned about Jiang Yuan's deeds in Bocheng.

I only found out then that Jiang Yuan's first awakening wasn't the necromancy type, but the water type!

And even water-based abilities are innate!
It is not unheard of for a person to possess multiple innate talents, but it is extremely rare.

For a time, the claim that Jiang Yuan was the number one genius mage in the country became rampant and gained a large following.

The majority of supporters are from Shanghai.

The Mingzhu Academy even has a ranking list, placing Jiang Yuan at the top of all the past genius students.

In addition, all universities in China selected a list of innate talents during this period.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan's natural talent only barely places him in the top 100.

However, this can also be considered a good thing, as his other talents are simply too extraordinary.

...............

...............

The experience of attending university is completely different from the experience of high school.

Everyone will leave the security zone and the protection of their mentors, relying entirely on themselves to undergo the training.

In such intense training, encountering danger is commonplace, and death is frequent; these are all unavoidable.
But it is precisely in this way that the academy can cultivate elite mages and confront the invasion of demons into the human world.

This time, the training locations for Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Academy are in the same place, so they will participate in the training together.

The training location is Qingrong City, which was occupied by demons fifteen years ago.

The task involved collecting various data from Qingrong City to assess the possibility of rebuilding this abandoned city.

On the surface, it doesn't seem that difficult. ...

After the groups from Mingzhu and the capital arrived at Nanshang City, the closest city to Qingrong City, Jiang Yuan and his group would have to walk to their training location on their own.

Along the way, Jingjing from the capital city kept explaining the knowledge about the demons of Qingrong City, and the one asking the questions was Mo Fan, who knew nothing about it.

At this moment, they were moving along the railway tracks leading to Qingrong City.

"Our mentor said that the training needs someone to be in charge, so who will be in charge of this training?" As soon as Lu Zhenghe said this, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yuan, who was the strongest.

"What, you want me to be the training commander?" Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.

“If you feel you don’t have the ability to command, I can be the commander. But let me make this clear beforehand: if I’m the commander, your Pearl Academy needs to cooperate actively. After all, this training is very dangerous, and we’re not exactly competitors,” Lu Zhenghe said.

“Of course, who says otherwise? Jiang Yuan’s command talent is amazing. Back in high school, he led everyone to achieve very high scores,” Mo Fan chimed in.

Jiang Yuan wanted to say something, but Mo Fan stopped him with a look.

Since that's been said, the Imperial Academy has no choice but to let Jiang Yuan, their strongest commander, take charge. If the command is unreasonable, they can choose not to cooperate.

The problem is not big.

"Why are you so eager to make me the commander?" Jiang Yuan asked Mo Fan in a low voice after making the decision.

"Of course! Our Pearl Academy cannot be commanded by the Capital Academy!" Mo Fan said righteously.

Jiang Yuan remained silent, feigning disbelief, which made Mo Fan feel somewhat guilty.

He hesitated for a moment, then said with a grin, "Look, you're in charge now. When we're in action later, can I go with my first wife? We're such good buddies, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

"Let's play while we're at it."

Jiang Yuan left those words behind and walked to the front of the line without looking back.

Seeing that Mo Fan was shamelessly following, Jiang Yuan directly threw out a necromancer tentacle, blocking Mo Fan ten meters away and not giving him a chance to get close.

Jiang Yuan then sent a message to Jiu Youhou through Sha Yuan, instructing her to find a military mage near Qingrong City.

After doing all that, Jiang Yuan and his group arrived at a dark tunnel.

“There are likely many demons living inside. Why don’t we skip this route and go further, over the mountain?” suggested one of the students from Mingzhu’s side.

"No need, there won't be any powerful demons here. Let's just go in," Jiang Yuan said calmly, and took the lead to walk in.

Indeed, this place is not too far from the safe zone, so powerful demons are unlikely to appear here, and even warrior-level monsters are extremely rare.

The others exchanged glances and immediately followed.

Inside the cave, black vines grew in abundance, and many thorns also grew on them.

With undead tentacles clearing the way, the black vines and thorns were quickly crushed and scattered on the ground.

The enormous opening quickly attracted the demons inside the tunnel. Pairs of eerie blue eyes lit up, as if embedded in the wall, their gazes seeming to want to devour everyone alive!

"Jiang Yuan, be careful! There are demons all ahead!" Mu Nujiao couldn't help but warn him.

The others quickly assumed defensive stances, and star charts immediately appeared, ready to take action at any moment.

Zhao Manyan cast a beam of light forward, and the golden radiance instantly illuminated the tunnel, allowing them to see for themselves what kind of demon lay ahead.
