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

Chapter 22 Pearl Academy, Mentors' Exchange

"Dean Xiao, you flatter me." Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Hehe, to be a high-level mage at such a young age, that's not something you can achieve just by praising someone."

Dean Xiao laughed heartily, his eyes full of appreciation and admiration for Li Xuan.

According to Pang Lai, his disciple is already a high-level mage in multiple disciplines, a talent that is truly rare in the world.

"It's just a series of coincidences. I hope that I can make progress together with everyone at Mingzhu Academy this time," Li Xuan replied humbly.

"Definitely, definitely." The heads of the various departments at the Qing Campus nodded with smiles.

Li Xuan, a genius with unparalleled talent and no arrogance, is extremely rare. This is the first time they have seen such a talent in all these years!

Seeing this, Dean Xiao nodded with satisfaction, a hint of expectation in his eyes, "The younger generation needs people like you to take on important responsibilities."

He paused, then continued, "There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you."

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. "Dean Xiao, please speak freely."

"Pang Lai told me that the reason you came to Pearl Academy is that, although you are a teacher, you also need to demonstrate your abilities," Dean Xiao said with a smile.

Pang Lai, that old codger, sent his prized disciple to Mingzhu Academy; he naturally understood what that meant.

After all, their Chinese national team's ranking in the World Championships hasn't been high for a long time.

This is a rare opportunity to see such a genius; wouldn't it be a shame not to let him bring home a championship?!

"Sure," Li Xuan replied without refusing.

It's just about demonstrating strength, nothing more.

Seeing Li Xuan agree so readily, Dean Xiao's smile grew even brighter.

"That's good. I'm thinking of arranging a friendly match between you and your mentor so that the students can see your talent and put some pressure on them."

"No problem, how exactly should we arrange it?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.

"You can choose a few faculty advisors from the main campus or the Qing campus. You can choose to challenge them one by one or spar with them one by one," Dean Xiao introduced enthusiastically.

Li Xuan's lips curled up slightly as he confidently said, "Let's fight one against many. This will save time and allow everyone to see a more comprehensive combination of different magic types."

Upon hearing this, the department heads couldn't help but marvel, and their expectations for Li Xuan's abilities grew even higher.

Taking on multiple high-level mentors alone is not something an ordinary person would dare to easily accept.

"Good lad, you've got guts!" Dean Xiao patted Li Xuan on the shoulder with satisfaction, then instructed the instructor, "Go and arrange the publicity so that the entire academy knows about this competition."

Dean Xiao then personally led Li Xuan to the accommodations prepared for him at the academy.

…………

Soon, the day of the competition arrived.

The training ground was packed with students early on, all eagerly anticipating the sparring match between Li Xuan and the high-level instructors.

This venue is no smaller than, and may even be larger than, the magic dueling arena in the capital.

"Sister Mu, that's Li Xuanyao, the one who supposedly beat up all the graduates from the Imperial Capital University! He looks so handsome!" A girl with an unusually large chest exclaimed in the crowd.

"TuTu, he's very strong!" Mu Nujiao said earnestly.

As the eldest daughter of a prominent family, she has some understanding of people from various factions.

Among them, Li Xuan is the most surprising one recently.

"Of course he's strong. As far as I know, Li Xuan joined Mingzhu Academy as a teacher." Ai Jiangtu's eyes sparkled.

"Instructor?" Mu Nujiao asked, slightly surprised.

She wasn't very familiar with the term "teacher," but she knew that a mentor's cultivation level was high.

"That's right, he's going to challenge a high-level mentor, he must be incredibly strong!" Ai Tutu gushed again.

……

At noon, Dean Xiao and the heads of each department went up to the viewing platform.

Li Xuan, dressed in a black outfit, walked confidently into the martial arts arena.

"Which ones would you like to challenge?" Dean Xiao asked from the platform, then began to introduce the instructors below one by one:

"There are ten instructors here, representing the fire, lightning, wind, earth, mind, water, plant, shadow, light, and ice elements. You don't need to choose all of them; just pick three."

"Mm," Li Xuan nodded.

"My three magic types are fire, summoning, and mind magic, so let's use these three."

Dean Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing Li Xuan's choice.

He gestured towards the three selected mentors below the stage.

The three instructors immediately walked into the training ground with serious expressions.

Wang Meng, the fire-elemental instructor, is a burly and robust man.

Lin Yue, the summoning instructor, is a beautiful woman.

Su Ran, the spiritual mentor, has a refined and scholarly demeanor, wearing black-rimmed glasses.

But those who know him well know that beneath that seemingly gentle exterior lies a powerful spiritual strength.

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

After the three mentors stood in place, they faced Li Xuan.

At this moment, the students around the training ground all quieted down.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for this spectacular competition to begin.

Dean Xiao stood up and announced loudly, "The competition begins!"

As Dean Xiao finished speaking, Instructor Wang Meng launched the first attack.

"Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!"

Suddenly, several huge pillars of fire shot up from the ground of the training ground, like roaring fire pythons, surging towards Li Xuan.

"Wow, it's so hot!"

The intense heat distorted the surrounding air, and the audience could feel the scorching heat waves hitting them.

At the same time, a moon-white light flashed beneath Instructor Lin Yue's feet.

"Armored Rhinoceros!"

A gigantic armored rhinoceros emerged from the light, its body covered in hard armor. It pawed the ground with its four hooves, emitting deep roars, and charged towards Li Xuan.

Meanwhile, Instructor Su Ran stood still, closed her eyes, and an invisible mental wave spread towards Li Xuan, attempting to interfere with his magic.

Faced with the combined attack from the three mentors, Li Xuan remained calm and composed.

"Be careful, you three." Li Xuan pushed with both hands, and flames spread out from his body.

A fiery red flame, exuding unparalleled nobility, spread throughout the entire area.

Its mere spread was enough to deter both the flames and the armored rhinoceros.

"A fire-type domain, and it looks like it even has a soul seed!" Dean Xiao's eyes lit up again, and his smile grew even wider.

Good lad, no wonder you are Pang Lai's prized disciple.

"It depends on you guys. His is a Soul Seed Flame," Wang Meng said with a wry smile.

"I'm afraid I can't either. The news that came from the capital earlier is that Instructor Li Xuan's contracted beast is a dragon." Lin Yue also had a bitter look on her face.

Her sixth sense told her that once Li Xuan summoned his contracted beast, she would surely lose.

Su Ran remained silent, trying to rouse Li Xuan's spirit from beginning to end.

But cold sweat was streaming down his forehead, clearly indicating that he was under immense pressure!

Thank you everyone for reading!
