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

Chapter 21 Pang Lai's Request, Dean Xiao

"At the current pace, it will only take a little longer before we can surpass the previous level."

Li Xuan stretched his body, feeling the surging power within him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Li Xuan looked up and saw Mu Ningxue push the door open and come in.

"What's wrong, Ning Xue?"

Li Xuan stepped forward and pressed his face against Mu Ningxue's beautiful cheek, asking her a question.

Mu Ningxue looked somewhat helpless, her face flushing slightly: "Senior Pang Lai wants to see you. It seems he has something to discuss with you."

"Oh." Li Xuan nodded, then gently kissed Mu Ningxue's cheek.

"Then I'll go see my teacher first. You can sit here for a while, or practice your cultivation."

"Um."

Mu Ningxue nodded slightly upon hearing this, but her cheeks were still very red.

Although she had been in close contact with Li Xuan frequently during this period, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Li Xuan straightened his clothes and walked briskly toward the courtyard where Pang Lai was.

Along the way, he kept guessing why his teacher had called him. Was it about new resources for cultivation, or was there some kind of task assigned to him?

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Arriving at the courtyard gate, Li Xuan gently knocked on the door knocker.

"Come in."

Pang Lai's calm and familiar voice came from inside the room.

Li Xuan pushed open the door and entered, only to see Pang Lai sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, holding an ancient book in his hands, with several scrolls of bamboo slips placed on the stone bench beside him.

"Teacher, you wanted to see me?" Li Xuan looked at Pang Lai with some confusion.

Pang Lai raised her head, looked sharply at Li Xuan, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Not bad, your cultivation has improved even more."

"Teacher, you flatter me. I've only reached the advanced level three," Li Xuan said with a modest smile.

Although the third level of the high-level cultivation sounds impressive, in reality, one is still just a nobody in the world. Without the cultivation of the super-level or even the forbidden spell level, one cannot be considered a true powerhouse.

Li Xuan's goal is to become a strong person, so it's not time for him to be arrogant yet.

Pang Lai's lips twitched, then he pointed to the stone bench opposite him.

"Come and sit down."

Li Xuan sat down as instructed, his gaze falling on the books and scrolls, a sense of curiosity rising within him.

"Teacher, these are..."

Pang Lai gently picked up a scroll and slowly unfurled it. It was covered with dense writing about international resource allocation.

"These are the resource allocation records for the World Championship, and China is always at the bottom."

At this point, Pang Lai's tone was somewhat disappointed.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan immediately lost interest.

The World University Games is a competition that brings together top universities from all over the world.

Winning first place brings immense prestige and abundant resources, while also securing international benefits for the nation.

However, this competition is really not very prestigious.

Most of the contestants were scions of prominent families who came to gain prestige, which is why China did not achieve high rankings in previous editions.

Of course, there's also the reason that the person in charge of leading the flight wasn't strong enough.

"Originally, I planned to have Jiang Yu participate in the next competition to strive for a higher ranking and a better share of resources. However, as you know, Jiang Yu's abilities are limited. He's fine as a regular player, but it's almost impossible for him to lead a team to victory," Pang Lai sighed slightly.

"Teacher, do you mean I should suppress my cultivation level for the competition?" Li Xuan asked.

That's right, he's confident he can reach the Transcendent level before participating in the competition, that's for sure!

Pang Lai put down the scroll and stared intently at Li Xuan. "In my opinion, with your current strength, leading the team to victory will be a breeze. How about it, are you interested in helping China?"

"Of course, that's perfectly fine." Li Xuan nodded with a smile.

Although it went against his original intention of reaching the peak before indulging in extravagance, he was too embarrassed to refuse his teacher's first request.

"Good lad, I was right about you." Pang Lai nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"However, there's no need to suppress your cultivation level. I've already prepared some items for you to conceal it."

As he spoke, Pang Lai took a wooden box from the table beside him and handed it to Li Xuan.

"This is a magical artifact that can suppress one's own magical aura, suppressing one's cultivation aura by an entire major realm."

Hearing this, Li Xuan accepted the box with both hands and said solemnly, "Thank you, teacher. I will definitely not let you down."

With this thing, you can really pretend to be weak to take advantage of others.

He was ordered to play dumb to take advantage of the enemy.

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

As for the Crimson Lion and the Wings of Night, there's no need to worry about them; they can freely change their aura.

Pang Lai patted Li Xuan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "There's still a long time before the competition starts. My original idea was to send you to the capital to become an instructor and gain some prestige."

"But you refused before, and given that universities in the capital are a mixed bag, I had no choice but to give up."

"I'm thinking of sending you to Pearl Academy. What do you think?"

Pang Lai looked at Li Xuan, her eyes filled with a questioning gaze.

Although he is a teacher, he does not domineeringly make choices for his students.

"Mingzhu Academy is fine too." Li Xuan nodded.

Currently, there's not much difference between staying in Beijing and going to Shanghai; both involve absorbing resources to become stronger.

After saying goodbye to Pang Lai, Li Xuan returned to his residence.

Mu Ningxue was sitting by the window, quietly cultivating.

Hearing the door open, she turned around and saw Li Xuan return, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Brother Xuan, what does Senior Pang Lai want with you?"

Li Xuan walked up to Mu Ningxue and told her everything about going to Mingzhu Academy.

After hearing this, Mu Ningxue's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, and she then asked, "Brother Xuan, can I come along too?"

"What? You can't bear to part with me?" Li Xuan said flirtatiously, pinching her pretty face.

"Mmm," Mu Ningxue said softly, her face flushed.

Looking at Mu Ningxue's shy appearance, Li Xuan felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.

He then gently pulled her into his arms. "Of course you can, but everyone has to go through some things. It's not good for you to be too comfortable by my side."

He couldn't be so selfish as to let Mu Ningxue always revolve around him; her brilliance should also shine.

Mu Ningxue leaned against Li Xuan's chest, feeling his warm embrace, and said, "Okay, I'll come see you when I have time."

"Um."

…………

The following day, Li Xuan began preparations for his trip to Mingzhu Academy.

After packing his belongings and saying goodbye to Mu Ningxue, Li Xuan embarked on his journey to Mingzhu Academy.

The scenery along the way was picturesque.

Upon arriving at Mingzhu Academy, Li Xuan went to the academy's reception area.

The people in charge of receiving them were Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy and a group of department heads.

That's right, it's Dean Xiao Bingsen, the forbidden spell master who was hidden very deep in the original timeline!

"Young friend Li Xuan, your name has become renowned throughout various academies! I never expected that old fellow Pang Lai would send you here."

A ruthless individual who brutally beat up graduates from prestigious universities in the capital and even threatened to have his professors intervene.

You can't help but know them!
