Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 9 Lu Ran, why is your water so black?
"I declare that the annual assessment test begins now! All classes proceed in an orderly manner!"

Following Principal Zhu's order, each class began testing and assessment at the same time.

Tianlan Magic High School is very large, with nearly 1,500 students in the freshman class alone.

The 'leadership team' headed by Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue were constantly moving around and inspecting each class.

Mu Zhuoyun would extend an olive branch to those with excellent or outstanding performance.

"The first one is He Yu!"

A pretty girl came on stage, and the light of the star-sensing stone was as bright as a light bulb.

Soon, the examiner gave the score:
"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

A triple-A level expert!
Lu Ran subconsciously glanced at He Yu, and it was indeed a smooth road!
"Do we need to conduct a magic release test?" Xue Musheng asked.

He Yu shook his head.

With this grade, she is already able to enter the seed class of the second year of high school.

Lu Ran was lucky and was the fifth to take the test.

Among the first four, except He Yu, the test scores of the others were average, with many getting B or C.

"Lu Ran, it's your turn!" Xue Musheng looked at Lu Ran with a smile.

Xue Musheng originally thought that Lu Ran would be depressed for a while after awakening his water magic.

But unexpectedly, Lu Ran’s legend continued until high school!
Since awakening magic, Lu Ran's control of the stars has always been superior to Mu Bai and Xu Zhaoting, the thunder student from the next class.

This really made him, the class teacher, very proud!
Seeing Lu Ran walk to the Star Sense Stone, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou shouted in unison:

"Brother Ran, come on!"

Mu Bai also looked over nervously.

On weekdays, Lu Ran has always been low-key in his practice and often takes leave.

But even so, Lu Ran's grades are still the best in the grade!

In front of the three examiners, Lu Ran placed one hand on the black star-sensing stone.

In an instant, the black star-sensing stone shone with dazzling light!
Like a ray of dawn, it instantly filled the dark star-sensing stone!
The three examiners looked at each other and spoke in unison:
"S!"

"S!"

"S!"

The queue of Class 8, Grade 1, instantly fell into chaos.

"Holy crap! It's an S? I thought A was the highest score!"

"As expected of Lu Ran! He always comes in first in all kinds of exams, and this time is no exception!"

"Brilliant!"

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the star-sensing stone in front of him with some confusion. The stone was emitting a dazzling light.

My cultivation level is only at the second level of the beginner realm, and this is the only reaction from the Star Sense Stone? It's just this little bit of light?

Mo Fan's initial level cultivation is also S
Others think he is awesome, but Lu Ran himself feels that he is not good enough.

The truth is out!
Three S's is just the upper limit of Star Sense Stones and ratings, not Lu Ran's upper limit!
Next, the magic release test!

This was the first time Lu Ran cast magic in front of his classmates!
Unlike the fire and ice students, they release magic to attack the straw man in the distance.

For students in other departments, the test is more about the students' control of the stars, the speed of connecting the star tracks, and their mentality.
Soon, a star track quickly connected in Lu Ran's palm.

"Waterbending!"

Four black streams of silk appeared and swirled around Lu Ran.

The first-level water magic, Water Guardian - Protection!
It was a hot summer day, but the appearance of these streams of water and silk made the surroundings much cooler.

The three examiners were obviously stunned, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

They were surprised, puzzled, and shocked! Lu Ran's magic was unleashed with extraordinary skill!
Shouldn't this be the level of proficiency a freshman in high school should have?
Also, why is your water magic black?

In the team of Class 8, Grade 1, Zhang Xiaohou called out, "Brother Ran, why is your water so black?"

Lu Ran: “.”

When these words were spoken, many people laughed like crazy.

Lu Ran's smooth magic release was subconsciously ignored by people.

An examiner immediately echoed and asked: "Student Lu Ran, your water magic..."

Lu Ran raised his lips and smiled: "Examiners, have you never seen natural talent?"

The three examiners looked at each other, bewildered.

They have lived for most of their lives and have heard of it, but have never seen it!

"Haha. It's us who are short-sighted." An examiner said with a smile.

"Well, you see it now."

The three examiners' lips twitched, but their scoring was not affected.

Still S!

Three S!

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Ran returned to the team.

Xue Musheng felt that today was so great!
Lu Ran actually has natural talent?

He, the class teacher, was totally unaware of this!
But that's not important.
Lu Ran is his student, Xue Musheng can also benefit from it, and the year-end bonus is settled.
Innate talent! The probability is even smaller than that of the lightning element!
Among a thousand lightning students, not even one can awaken their innate talent! !
Lu Ran returned to the team, and was immediately greeted by Mo Fan's admiration, Zhang Xiaohou's flattery, Zhou Min's chatter, and Mu Bai's envy.
Mo Fan put his arm around his shoulder and whispered, "Brother Ran, you've been hiding this from me for so long! Turns out you have a natural talent too!"

Mo Fan now understood that Lu Ran, like him, also had natural talent.

But this person is never mentioned on a daily basis. He is so unkind!

Lu Ran rolled his eyes at Mo Fan.

If I hadn't discovered the process of Mo Fan awakening his magic, given Mo Fan's personality and the fact that he was born with dual magic powers, he would definitely not have told me.

Open your heart? That's impossible.

Even with friends, you should keep some cards in reserve.

The fact that Lu Ran possessed natural talent soon attracted the attention of Principal Zhu, Mu Zhuoyun and others.

Principal Zhu asked, "Lu Ran? That name sounds familiar."

Although Xue Musheng didn't know about it before, it doesn't stop him from jumping out to ask for work now!
"Principal, Lu Ran is the student who got into Tianlan Magic High School with the highest score in the city!"

There was a hint of realization in Principal Zhu's eyes. It turned out to be him!

Mu Zhuoyun had obviously heard of this young genius before, and he stood up with a smile:

"Student Lu Ran, my Mu family recently has a batch of idle water resources. If you join the Mu family, these resources will be yours!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

Mu Zhuoyun’s personal recruitment!

But Principal Zhu's face was not very good. Are you trying to poach my students in front of me?
But Mu Zhuoyun was a school director after all, so he couldn't interrupt him on the spot.

Lu Ran raised his eyes and met Mu Zhuoyun's gaze, and caught a glimpse of Mu Ningxue behind him.

At this moment, Mu Ningxue was looking at him eagerly, with a hint of resentment in her eyes!
It's as if he's saying, "You never mentioned in your letters to me that you have a natural talent!"

Yes, Mu Ningxue only knew that Lu Ran had awakened the water element, and that he usually performed well and could control the stars smoothly.

But...that's all!

Even Ye Xinxia knew more than her. Xinxia knew that Lu Ran had joined the City Monster Hunting Team.
Lu Ran calmly withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
"No, I'm used to being free and unrestrained. I've never thought about joining a family."

Lu Ran paused and added, "Even if it was the Mu family, I never thought about it."
