Full-Time Magister: The Path to Invincibility

Chapter 97 Opening

"Ding Yumin, are you planning to play?" Ling Tianyu asked in a message.

"Hmm, I'll think about it some more. What about you?"

"Me? I'm planning to go up and have some fun. You'll see what happens in a bit!"

"Oh? I'll be waiting to see! Also, when are you going to have some free time? I still owe you that meal!"

"I've been a bit busy lately, how about tomorrow afternoon?"

…………

Ding Yumin covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She was an absolute beauty, and for a moment, many boys who were secretly watching her were stunned.

"Yu Mian, why are you laughing so happily? Are you chatting with your boyfriend?" Huang Xingli, Ding Yu Mian's roommate and best friend, teased.

"Xingli!" Ding Yumin said reproachfully, her cheeks flushed.

…………

"Today is the day to show your abilities. Let's welcome the following eight new summoning students!" Dean Xiao said, getting straight to the point.

Perhaps some people are still thinking that it's best to keep a low profile since they've just entered university. But after hearing Dean Xiao's words, quite a few people are probably unable to hold back anymore.

This isn't kindergarten, where the well-behaved ones get more candy.

University is a battlefield, and the rare resources it provides will not fall into the hands of students like you who do not compete or fight for anything!

Competition, fierce competition, life-or-death competition... well, not quite, that's the main theme of university!

Humility and subservience? To put it bluntly, you'll get nothing!

"Perhaps you're all a bit unhappy. Why are summoning students the center of attention from the moment they enroll?" Dean Xiao, always eager to add fuel to the fire, seemed to be stirring things up as the situation didn't quite live up to his expectations. "No problem, defeat them, and you'll be the real protagonists today!"

…………

Several floors below Ling Tianyu, a slightly timid-looking man with glasses asked his companion, "What does Dean Xiao mean? What practical benefits will we get from defeating the summoning students?"

"My God, bro, are you an alien? You don't know this? The teacher specifically emphasized this yesterday, and you didn't come?" The boy next to him with a buzz cut was a little surprised. "The Summoning Department has a quota every year. On average, each person has to take down at least a dozen of us. If some of these people don't have a summoned beast yet, the standard has to be raised even higher."

"If they don't meet the standards... their resources will belong to us!"

"One against a dozen? Haha, these summoned beasts are in for a rough time!" the bespectacled man said with a laugh.

"It's hard to say. I've heard that this year's summoners are quite formidable. According to my inside information, all eight students have summoned beasts, some of which are extremely fierce."

The man with the buzz cut, who has access to a wide range of information, is not optimistic about the situation.

…………

"Interesting, let me see what you're capable of!" Ling Tianyu crossed his arms and looked casually at the dueling platform.

It's not his turn to take the stage yet; let's watch the excitement first.

…………

The eight summoners below, led by the man and woman in the middle, discussed countermeasures, and there was no situation like the isolation of a person that occurred in Mo Fan's year.

"Who wants to go first?" a boy with short, center-parted hair asked.

"Du Xiaocheng, you go first! If the captain or vice-captain goes first, the Beast Fighting Tournament might as well be over! Their summoned beasts... might not even be mid-level mages..." the weasel-faced boy said gloatingly. "Let these frogs in a well who look down on our summoning system open their eyes!"

"Alright!" Du Xiaocheng, with his short brown hair, didn't object, clearly agreeing with the monkey-faced boy's opinion. "This time the reward includes two jars of bone powder, which is beneficial for demons' advancement. We have to fight for it, no matter what. The condition is... class monitor, we agreed before that you wouldn't participate in the competition for the bone powder, right?"

The man in the middle, who had his eyes closed in repose, nodded and said, "I never break my word. If you have the ability, you can take it."

"However, I've reserved one of the jars of bone meal!" the woman in the middle said casually. Her tone wasn't harsh, but the others present didn't dare to underestimate her.

As the vice class monitor of the summoning system, her strength is undeniable.

…………

The Beast Fighting Tournament is a rare magical event open to the general public, and the entire event is broadcast live by special magical cameras. If one can display great power here, one will truly become known throughout the country.

Du Xiaocheng stepped into the fighting cage and, taking advantage of the absence of challengers, activated [Dimensional Summoning] ahead of time.

The moonlight shone brightly, cutting through a mysterious rift that connected to the summoned beast plane. A powerful sandstorm swept through, and the wolf-like beast appeared before everyone.

"The Ghost Wolf Beast? The first one is such a powerful demon?" Some of the freshmen in the audience were timid, and none of them dared to go on stage first.

The pictures in the book and the real creatures are completely different concepts, okay? This imposing aura makes it seem like a single demon could easily take down dozens of people!

"The Ghost Wolf Beast is even stronger than a typical adult demon!"

…………

"Oh? Weren't you all shouting loudly just now? Why are you all acting like cowards now?" Du Xiaocheng made no attempt to hide his arrogance. In his view, as long as the mid-level cultivators didn't make a move, his Dark Wolf Beast was invincible!

"Awooo~~~"

"Haha, even my Shadow Wolf looks down on you! A bunch of cowards, trash! Is this all the students selected from among thousands are?" Du Xiaocheng continued to mock.

"Damn it! I can't take it anymore! Let me go up and beat him up!" A lightning-type man a few dozen meters to Ling Tianyu's right got up and walked towards the dueling platform to prepare to enter the arena.

"Hey bro, take me with you!"

Once a student took the lead, other freshmen followed suit and teamed up with the purple-haired lightning-elemental man.

The challenge rules are that five people go up to challenge together in a round. If there are too many people, the experienced ones will be overwhelmed and the summoned beasts will probably not be able to withstand it. If there are too few people, the summoned beasts will rampage and kill everyone. This is not fair to the new students. This is the most reasonable way to challenge.

A moment later, led by the lightning-elemental man, the group of five stood in a row several dozen meters away from the ghost wolf beast, leaving enough space to release their magic.

"Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!"

The lightning-type man is quite something. A beginner mage's casting speed of less than 3 seconds is considered an expert, but his casting time is even better than that, around 2.5 seconds. As expected, those who can reach the Pearl Realm are all skilled.

Purple light flickered, and lightning bolts struck the Dark Wolf Beast in arcs like arrows, transmitting through each other and seeping into its bones, causing continuous and significant injuries while also having a paralyzing effect.

The lightning was too fast; the Dark Wolf Beast seemed to have been momentarily distracted, thus allowing the sneak attack to succeed.

"You're lucky you only managed to injure my little wolf. But my Shadow Wolf isn't some ordinary servant!" Du Xiaocheng said calmly, then commanded, "Shadow Wolf, use Sandstorm!"
