Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 132 Attending the Welcome Party

Everyone fell silent after Wei Ming's tirade. Those scions of powerful families probably knew the inside story, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

The Star River Vein required to break through to a higher level is worth 100 million. Where would a mid-level mage in school find the time to earn that kind of money?

Not only does cultivation take time, but one also needs to study magic courses, and the money can only be provided by the family or power behind them.

As a result, the National Government Team was entirely occupied by students from various powerful families or influential backgrounds.

Their talent may be ordinary, but with resources, they can break through to higher levels and widen the gap with the middle level.

Those talented students, without resources or money, even with great talent, face a huge hurdle to reach the advanced level.

The National Tournament is a competition between high-level mages; mid-level mages are not qualified to participate.

Not only that, but the internal competition among them is also like this; if you are not a direct descendant of the main family, the allocation of resources is very limited.

Unless the parents are wealthy enough to buy resources, that's a different story.

But having money is fine, but lacking connections is also a problem; otherwise, you'll easily be squeezed out.

"Alright, I won't say anything more. Think it over carefully. You can choose to attend the welcome party tonight or not."

"Go back and rest."

Wei Ming waved for them to leave. This time, his hopes were pinned on Wang Teng; it would be good if the others could even make it into the national team.

Everyone left the room.

Wang Teng didn't go back; it would be a shame not to take a good look around the Imperial Capital Academy now that he's here.

Not knowing if he would have another chance to come back, he went downstairs.

Sensing the direction where spiritual energy was most concentrated, he walked in that direction and saw elites from various universities strolling around.

Clearly, they shared the same idea, and the students from the Imperial Capital Academy could easily discern it; the arrogance on their faces was undisguised.

They looked at people from other universities with a strong sense of superiority.

"Holy crap~ How did I run into her?"

Wang Teng's face darkened. They hadn't gone far when they saw a woman surrounded by a crowd, Mu Ningxue.

This guy... Doesn't what happened in Bocheng affect her at all?

Perhaps we'll have to wait until the events in the ancient capital come to a head before life becomes truly difficult.

He watched the group leave, then turned and went back to his dormitory, too lazy to wander around anymore after seeing their behavior.

Night falls.

"Director Wei? What brings you here?"

Wang Teng opened the door and saw Wei Ming, puzzled as to why he was knocking on his door so late at night.

"You're coming with me to the welcome party tonight. They can skip it, but you have to come."

"Wouldn't it be incredibly pathetic if my Pearl Academy didn't have a single student?"

Wei Ming had his own agenda. He didn't care whether others went or not; dragging Wang Teng along was the right thing to do, and it would make him look good too.

This isn't the first or second time that the Imperial Academy has stirred up trouble; who knows if they'll come up with something new? He'd better be on guard.

With Wang Teng on his side, he fears no one.

"Oh, okay then, I'll change my clothes."

Wang Teng turned back, stood there for a moment and thought about it, then changed into a school uniform and put away his casual clothes, as this was more appropriate for a welcome party.

After tidying up, he left the room.

"Okay, come with me."

When Wei Ming saw his attire, he was immediately overjoyed, and his face broke into a smile.

Soon, the two walked and stopped at a cafeteria building. A huge banner at the bottom read, "Welcome elites from all universities to the Imperial Capital's universities," and so on.

There were quite a few people here, mostly teachers leading the group and one or two students.

Clearly, they all seemed to be thinking the same thing.

"Director Wei, please go first. Please go first."

……

"Haha, you're too kind. Let's go together!"

Wei Ming laughed loudly, called out to several familiar people, and together they walked into the venue.

Wang Teng followed behind the crowd, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Lao Wei to be so popular and well-liked at another university.

Could it be because it releases water?

The group arrived at the top floor, which had already been decorated like a conference venue, with seats below and a huge stage in front.

There were quite a few people there, and the scene was very lively. However, there weren't many students. Obviously, everyone knew they needed to rest, since the selection competition was tomorrow.

Those with higher status were generally seated at the front few tables, followed by the teachers from various universities, and then the students.

Next come various forces and the media; this group is quite large.

There are quite a few ordinary people among them, but mages, as a noble profession, naturally have a much higher status.

Wang Teng even saw many people taking pictures with their cameras, sometimes filming the stage, sometimes the mentors, and sometimes the students.

Wang Teng sat at the same table with students from other universities. He didn't recognize almost anyone, but he could barely tell which university they were from by their school uniforms.

Bored, he picked up some sunflower seeds from the table and started cracking them open.

The others at the table looked at him with strange eyes, and then when they saw that it was the uniform of Mingzhu Academy, they immediately fell silent.

"Are the sunflower seeds tasty?"

Across from him stood a woman who looked exceptionally arrogant, her eyes filled with disdain, seemingly utterly contemptuous of Wang Teng's actions.

It's like watching country folk.

Wang Teng paused in his sunflower seed-eating spree, glanced at the woman, noticed her icy aura and the uniform of the Imperial Capital Academy, and immediately understood.

Then continue...

People with an excessive and pointless sense of self are just bored and have nothing better to do.

Wang Teng's dismissive attitude after glancing at her immediately angered her, and her face flushed red.

"What? Are you mute? Can't you speak?"

The atmosphere immediately became tense after these words were spoken, and everyone else remained silent, sitting in their seats with their eyes downcast.

"Are all the sons of the Mu clan like you? Or are all the students at the capital's universities like you?"

Wang Teng gave a disdainful smile, his vulgar words hitting the nail on the head.

When Wang Teng launched his attack, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and they instinctively leaned back to avoid getting splattered with blood.

This head-to-head exchange is practically a magical duel.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

"Based on that statement alone, no one can protect you!"

"You think you can treat the scions of the Mu clan with such disdain? Today, I, Mu Tingying, will make you pay the price!"

Mu Tingying's chest heaved with anger. She pointed at him, her tone extremely fierce, and her face suddenly filled with rage.

"Pay the price? How much are you worth? Probably not even a hundred million. You're a penniless wretch, yet you dare to spout nonsense. Tch~"

Wang Teng spat out the sunflower seed shells in his mouth, his words revealing contempt and even more disdain.

When Mu Tingying saw the other person's actions, she was furious. She felt a sharp pain in her chest and her breathing became as loud as a bellows.
