Full-Time Magister: Crimson Lion, the Strongest Divine Soul!

Chapter 18 I will not offend others unless they offend me.

"Challenge me?" Li Xuan pointed to himself with some surprise.

Jiang Yu quickly nodded, "Yes, senior brother, I heard that the leader is Zhou Youhong from the Zhou family, and he has also joined forces with several other scions of prominent families."

They think you don't have any real skills, that you just rely on luck and your teacher's favor, so they want to challenge you and humiliate you.

Li Xuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

He was so focused on cultivation that he unknowingly made so many enemies.

However, I will not offend others unless they offend me. Since they brought it up, don't blame them for bullying the weak when the time comes.

"When do they plan to launch the challenge?"

"Just three days later, at the Imperial Capital Academy's large magic arena."

Furthermore, they declared that if you, senior brother, dare not accept the challenge, it would be an admission that you are merely a figurehead.

Jiang Yu gave Li Xuan a vivid demonstration.

He had witnessed Li Xuan's strength firsthand.

Absolutely invincible!

It is estimated that among the younger generation in China, especially among his peers, no one is a match for Li Xuan, not even the second generation of the military.

Someone from a prestigious university in the capital dares to challenge Li Xuan? Isn't that like lighting a lamp in a toilet—courting death?!

And do those fools think he has a better eye for talent than their teacher?

What a joke!

"Interesting. It's rare to find someone to add some fun to my tedious ascetic practice. I hope they can pique my interest."

"Junior brother, go and tell them I'll arrive on time."

Li Xuan smiled slightly, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes.

To be honest, he didn't even know the true level of these academy magicians.

"Okay, I'll go right now." Jiang Yu nodded, and then hurriedly ran out again.

At this moment, Mu Ningxue also came out from the inner room, her face flushed.

It was clear that the cold air had been suppressed.

Mu Ningxue walked to Li Xuan's side, her eyes filled with guilt. "Li Xuan, this whole thing seems to have started because of me. Maybe I should..."

"No need, it's only a matter of time."

Before Mu Ningxue could finish speaking, Li Xuan reached out and stopped her from saying anything more.

"..." Mu Ningxue's cheeks flushed slightly.

She knew that she and Li Xuan were inseparable, but hearing these words still made her heart race.

"I want to take this opportunity to let everyone in the capital know that I, Li Xuan, did not get to where I am today by luck."

Li Xuan gently embraced Mu Ningxue.

After spending this time together, their relationship is getting closer at a clearly visible pace.

…………

Three days later, at the Imperial Capital Academy.

At this moment, the largest magic dueling arena in the Imperial Capital Academy was already packed to capacity.

The arena is laid out in the shape of a star, and its vast area is astonishing.

It can accommodate a full 50,000 people at the same time!

Normally, this luxurious dueling arena is kept closed and rarely open to the public.

Only those magical duels of a high enough level and of a high enough status are qualified to be held here.

However, today, this usually deserted dueling arena is unusually quiet.

The audience was packed, and people couldn't help but start talking loudly:

"Have you heard? Zhou Youhong, along with several students from prestigious universities in the capital, has challenged Pang Lai's disciples from the Forbidden City!"

"A challenge? To fight Jiang Yu? How come I haven't heard a thing about it?"

When it comes to Pang Lai's disciples, the locals in the capital are more familiar with Jiang Yu, while they subconsciously ignore Li Xuan.

"No, it's that Li Xuan!"

Li Xuan?!

"Isn't he a high-ranking official?"

"Who knows if it's true or not? Anyway, it's not like we're the ones doing the challenge."

"That's true. The rumors circulating are a mix of truth and falsehood; who can tell the difference?"

Just as everyone was discussing, a long-haired figure calmly walked into the dueling arena.

The newcomer was Li Xuan. He stood tall and straight, his expression calm, showing no sign of taking the challenge to heart.

"Look, that's Li Xuan!" someone shouted from the crowd.

"Him? He doesn't look like anything special," a man who looked like a scion of a wealthy family said with a sneer.

"Hmph, he'll get what's coming to him soon enough. Zhou Youhong and his gang aren't pushovers," another person chimed in.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Youhong and several of his companions also entered the dueling arena.

"Tsk, you guys who have commendable courage are really this weak?" Li Xuan stood in the center of the dueling arena, looking down on the people in front of him.

"You guys are too weak. Don't even think about fighting me. You can't even withstand the aura I release."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at Li Xuan.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Those below the higher ranks are not worthy to come up here. I don't bully children."

After saying that, Li Xuan unleashed a terrifying magical aura, which directly suppressed Zhou Youhong and the others, preventing them from standing up and forcing them to prostrate themselves on the ground.

Jiang Yu sat in the audience, his eyes sparkling.

Holy crap, that's so cool!

One person challenges the high-ranking students of the Imperial Capital Academy!

"..."

For a moment, the dueling arena was completely silent.

That's really high-level!

Is a high-level mage this young even human?!

"Nobody's coming?"

"Are the so-called top universities in the capital just empty names? They're nothing but ivory tower babies!"

Li Xuan glanced disdainfully at everyone present, his tone very soft.

What a disappointment! What a huge disappointment!

He came all this way just to find some grasshoppers looking for trouble.

"Arrogant!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the audience, followed by a figure landing on the ground. He made a provocative gesture towards Li Xuan: "Zhou Clan, Zhou Tian!"

Zhou Tian's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention; no one expected him to be here.

"Senior Zhou Tian is a strong student who is about to graduate from the academy, and I heard not long ago that he has already reached the advanced level of dual-elemental cultivation."

"This time, Li Xuan is probably finished."

……

"Li Xuan, I'll make you pay for your words and actions later." Zhou Tian's eyes were icy cold, as if he wanted to devour Li Xuan alive.

Zhou Tian exuded a powerful magical energy, which was clearly a level higher than that of Zhou Youhong and the others.

Li Xuan remained calm, a disdainful smile still playing on his lips. "Is that so? I'd like to see what price you can make me pay."

Stop talking and start doing!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Tian launched his attack.

In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and thick bolts of lightning cleaved down from the clouds like dragons emerging from the sea, swiftly attacking Li Xuan.

"Wings of Night, swat him away!" Li Xuan raised his hand and waved, and a small mechanical dragon appeared on his shoulder without anyone noticing.

The mechanical dragon instantly grew larger, transforming into a giant dragon tens of meters in size, simply by flapping its wings.

Rumble!!!

The raging storm in the dark night blew Zhou Tian away, giving him no chance to fight back.

He slammed heavily onto the dueling arena barrier like a cannonball!
