Chapter 57 Marrying a Rich Woman

……

"Quiet."

With a thought, Lü Cheng sent a gentle spiritual wave that instantly filled the entire area, calming the thousands of panicked students.

"Xiaotian." Lü Cheng waved his hand.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiaotian's figure quickly shrank, turning into the size of an ordinary parrot, and landed on Lü Cheng's shoulder.

"this……"

Upon seeing such a demon that could change size for the first time, the students and teachers present were all shocked.

What breed of dragonfish is this?

"Stop spacing out, you're out." Lü Cheng glanced at Bai Zangfeng, who was stunned.

It's quite a feat for this kid not to faint from being so close to the aura of a commander-level sub-dragon.

Bai Zangfeng suddenly snapped back to reality, "Why? I'm not out!"

"I have magical armor; even if you hadn't attacked, I could have blocked it!"

Lu Cheng glanced at him slightly. "Are you doubting my judgment?"

"I..." Bai Zangfeng felt a chill in his heart.

That terrifying aura, and the defensive power that easily blocked mid-level lightning magic, this strange sub-dragon is definitely not a warrior-level, but a commander-level!

And that powerful mental magic fluctuation just now... this guy is a high-level mage!

At this age, a high-level mage is most likely from a powerful clan that possesses forbidden spellcasting abilities...

Can't afford it!

"Hmph!" Bai Zangfeng snorted coldly, glared at Mo Fan, and got up to leave the fighting cage.

Wrong!

They were killed before they even made a move!

How is he supposed to face the world after this?!

……

"So handsome!"

"Is that a dragon? A dragon that can change size?"

"This is the first time I've ever heard of this..."

"That was something like a mind-based spell, wasn't it? A mind spell that instantly covered tens of thousands of people... This teacher is... a high-level mage?!"

"Which clan are you from? I've never heard of them..."

The stands became noisy again.

A high-ranking mage who looks about the same age as them?!

"High-level... That's going too far..."

In the audience seats of the Lei family, Xu Zhaoting looked dazed.

"What's wrong?" the girl next to him asked.

"You...you don't know this person either, do you?"

"Uh... um." Xu Zhaoting nodded with a bitter expression.

"He and Mo Fan both came from Bocheng; we were classmates before."

Is this what a true genius is like? No wonder Teacher Tang Yue used to say, "Don't underestimate Lü Cheng, they're not even from the same world." He used to be a little unconvinced...

"Bo Cheng, classmate?" Zhang Lulu looked confused.

"He... Zhaoting, you haven't mistaken him for someone else, have you?"

How could a high-ranking mage of the same age as them be?

Even if so, they must be geniuses that only the imperial clans could cultivate, right?

How could they possibly come from a small place like Bocheng?

"Everyone in Bo City knows about his dragon summon that can change size; once you've seen it, you can't forget it," Xu Zhaoting said with a wry smile.

He had been saved twice by that dragon, and he could never forget that man who liked to tease humans and had such a human-like look in his eyes.

……

"Those who can't cast intermediate-level spells shouldn't go up. Having backbone and being stupid are two different things." Dean Xiao couldn't stand it anymore.

In fact, if all the geniuses from prestigious families among this group of students were willing to participate, Mo Fan wouldn't have been able to hold on. However, those young people are all concerned about their reputation and would never join forces to fight.

After all, it's not very prestigious to win when a group of people gang up on one person, and it would be even more embarrassing if they were to lose unexpectedly.

Just like Bai Zangfeng just now.

If we're not confident, we might as well not do anything; after all, it won't cause them any loss.

"Is no one here?" Lu Cheng asked.

"If no one's left, the game is over. The winner of this match is..."

"Wait a moment!"

"It's our classmate Mo Fan!"

"The Beast Fighting Tournament has now concluded! All departmental resources for this semester belong to the Summoning Department!"

As if he hadn't heard anything, Lü Cheng grabbed Mo Fan's right hand and announced the result of the match.

"Wait! I want to challenge!" Mu Nujiao jumped down from the audience.

"The competition is over, what are you challenging now?" Lü Cheng asked.

"I..." Mu Nujiao was stunned.

"Dean, he..."

Several department heads turned to Dean Xiao for help.

They dared not go against Lü Cheng; that commander-level dragon could have wiped them out!

"Ahem, he's the referee." Dean Xiao coughed twice, clearly not intending to get involved.

"Brother Cheng, how about I fight her?" Mo Fan whispered.

Anyone with eyes could see that Lü Cheng was helping him, probably worried that he didn't have enough magic power. But how could he back down at such a moment to flirt with a girl?

Lu Cheng glanced sideways slightly. "Hmm?"

Damn it, don't you know I'm working overtime right now?

Every second you delay is forcing me to work overtime!

Mo Fan felt a chill run down his spine. "You're right! The race was over before you ran down. You're disrespecting my brother Cheng!"

"Want to fight? Fine! Go ahead and try it with me, Cheng-ge!"

Now that we have the resources, we'll stop stirring up trouble.

"Damn! This guy is shameless!"

"Exactly! How could a mid-level mage possibly fight a high-level mage?"

"Dean Xiao! I'm reporting this! These two must have conspired beforehand!"

"Yes! They're in cahoots!"

"Yes! We disagree!"

"..."

Upon seeing Mo Fan's shameless behavior, the audience erupted in a chorus of curses.

Mo Fan was about to lose, but the match was forcibly ended. What kind of logic is this?

"Not convinced?" With a wave of his hand, Lü Cheng instantly restored Xiaotian to its massive body, which was over a hundred meters tall, and hovered above the arena. A suffocating feeling that blotted out the sky suddenly descended!

"Anyone who disagrees, step forward."

"..."

The scene fell silent.

"I'll say it again, if you disagree, step forward." Lu Cheng surveyed the audience, and the thousands of students in the audience all avoided his gaze.

"It seems everyone agrees, so..."

"I refuse to accept this!" Mu Nujiao took a step forward.

"I haven't played it yet."

Although she didn't know why Lü Cheng was helping this guy, she couldn't just stand by and watch her resources be taken away by someone else.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Do you really want to fight that much?" Lu Cheng slowly approached Mu Nujiao, lowered his head, and their eyes met.

"Mm." Mu Nujiao nodded.

"If you want to fight, I'll fight with you tonight. Now, give me some face and don't fight, okay?" Lu Cheng patted Mu Nujiao's head.

"I..." Mu Nujiao's ears turned red.

Why does she always feel like Lü Cheng is treating her like a child?

"Sweetie, go back and sit down."

"Oh……"

Mu Nujiao nodded, her face flushed, and jogged back to her seat.

"..."

Mo Fan was completely bewildered.

Holy crap? So you two know each other?

Damn! Thank goodness I didn't flirt!

"Sister Mu, what's wrong?" Ai Tutu asked, looking puzzled.

Mu Nujiao is unlikely to be so obedient when it comes to fighting.

"I..." Mu Nujiao suddenly came to her senses.

"How did I get back?"

"..."

"I refuse to accept this!"

In the audience, a boy stood up again.

"Dean Xiao, we are indeed no match for him. However, for students like us who come from impoverished backgrounds and have always relied on the public resources provided by the school to sustain our cultivation, we are competing with those who have abundant resources and only need to put in less than a third of our effort to get into Pearl Academy. Even a little bit of resources is very important to us!"

"So?" Dean Xiao took off his glasses.

"You think he's better than you because he has more superior resources? Is his strength a given?"

"Isn't that right?" the stubborn boy retorted.

"What if I told you that Mo Fan and this teacher Lü Cheng are both from Bocheng?" Dean Xiao said in a deep voice.

"..."

The air fell silent.

Bocheng?

A year ago, news reports described Bozhou, the city where the whole country observed a moment of silence.

"I believe you all know what Bocheng means," Dean Xiao said.

"Mo Fan's family background is actually worse than most of yours, as for Teacher Lü Cheng..."

"Could he be the legendary genius from Bo City who summoned a dragon at the initial stage back then?" Bai Zangfeng wondered.

Although the incident was quickly suppressed back then, Bo City is not far from Shanghai, and the powerful families in Shanghai also received the news, even sending many people to try to win over this young genius.

However, without exception, they were all rejected by the court.

However, this is only the surface result. In reality, he heard from his elders that the news had been released in the capital that this person had already been taken, and that he should not have any improper thoughts!

The capital city—that's where clans are entrenched!

"Dean Xiao, are you sure?" The boy who stood up to refute him looked completely disbelieving.

"I can barely accept the idea of ​​Mo Fan, but a high-level mage who's about our age—you're saying he doesn't have a background?"

"Dean Xiao, I'm just vulnerable, not mentally challenged!"

Even if this person only looks young, he is still a high-level mage!

He knew perfectly well that the number of Star River Veins needed to break through to the advanced level was astronomical!

And that terrifying sub-dragon from earlier—the resources required to raise such a creature are countless!

How can you say someone like this has no connections?

Are they treating them like idiots?

"You really are no different from someone with a mental disability." Lu Cheng said speechlessly.

"How old are you? What do you mean by 'background'?"

"Why don't you go find it yourself?"

"Want to know where I got my resources?

"I'm telling you this today, my resources came from nowhere—they were all obtained by marrying rich women!"

"..."

"You don't like it? Go find someone else yourself!"

"..."

The air fell silent.

The atmosphere at the scene quickly shifted from serious to strange.

Marrying a rich woman?

"Cough cough!" Dean Xiao coughed heavily twice.

Don't corrupt the atmosphere of my college!

"Don't worry, Dean, you won't go astray." Lu Cheng shrugged.

"I'll admit that my resources came from marrying rich women, so what can they do about it?"

"Like me, dating a rich woman?"

"Look at them, they're neither good-looking nor talented. Marrying a rich woman? Do you think they can even do that?"

Everyone's expression froze.

Damn! That's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!
