Full-Time Magister: Starting from Obtaining the Azure and White Serpents

Chapter 20 Lu Yiming: I desperately want to improve, but I just can't grasp it.

imperial capital.

After handing over the captain position to Mo Fan, Jiang Haoxuan rushed to the imperial capital in advance.

He had come to pay his respects to his nominal master, the chief court mage, Pang Lai.

Following the clues left by Pang Lai, Jiang Haoxuan went to her door.

He was received by Jiang Yu, another disciple of Pang Lai.

Upon seeing Jiang Haoxuan, Jiang Yu was somewhat surprised, "You're the disciple our teacher took on in Shanghai a while ago?!"

"If there are no people with the same name, then it must be me," Jiang Haoxuan nodded.

Jiang Yu is the kind of person who wears glasses and looks very knowledgeable.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two became acquainted.

Afterwards, Jiang Yu led Jiang Haoxuan to Pang Lai's residence.

It is a traditional courtyard house with four courtyards. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a sense of antiquity.

An ancient tree of unknown name grows in the courtyard, its branches and leaves lush and swaying in the wind, rustling softly.

As the two stepped into the courtyard, they saw Pang Lai sitting in a rattan chair under an ancient tree.

He was brewing tea with three cups in front of him, clearly waiting for Jiang Haoxuan.

"You little rascal, you finally made it."

Pang Lai said with a smile.

Although he had taken in this disciple somewhat hastily and was essentially left to his own devices, he had been keeping a close eye on Jiang Haoxuan's whereabouts.

"I heard you almost toppled the Three-Step Tower? Old Xiao must be furious with you."

"Hahaha!"

Pang Lai burst into laughter.

He could already picture his old friend jumping up and down in anger.

"Hehe, I've caused Dean Xiao quite a bit of trouble."

Jiang Haoxuan scratched his head.

"You don't need to overthink it. The Three-Step Tower is meant to improve strength, so what difference does it make who improves their strength?"

Pang Lai changed the subject, saying, "Your strength must have improved quite a bit, right?"

"It's barely passable."

Jiang Haoxuan didn't elaborate.

"Humility is a good thing, but excessive humility is not good."

Pang Lai shook his head. "Three advanced-level elements, and mental strength has reached the fifth realm. Even I have never heard of such speed!"

"High-level three-elemental system?"

"Teacher, are you sure you're not mistaken? Shouldn't it be 'intermediate level three of the two systems'?"

Jiang Yu, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment and then suddenly interjected.

"Go away, you're the one who's wrong."

"Do you think everyone is like you? Haoxuan has already reached the advanced level in three elements."

Pang Lai said with a proud expression.

"hiss!"

Jiang Yu stared wide-eyed at the young man beside him as if he were a monster.

At this age, high-level in all three systems?

Are you kidding me?!

He was at the mid-level in both departments, making him a genius student in the capital's academies.

Good heavens, a high-level being from three different systems has suddenly appeared?

Are you trying to kill us?!

"Haoxuan, how's your contracted beast's improvement?"

When mentioning this, Pang Lai also showed anticipation.

Swish!

Jiang Haoxuan didn't waste any words and summoned Xiaoqing and Xiaobai directly. They had been bored all the way here.

"hiss!"

As soon as Pu appeared, the two snakes couldn't control their aura for a moment. The aura of a Grand Commander caused Pang Lai and Jiang Yu's expressions to change drastically.

Pang Lai was overjoyed.

Jiang Yu, however, was horrified.

"Okay, okay!"

"They're already at the Grand Commander level! Moreover, the white snake's aura is sometimes stable and sometimes chaotic; it's on the verge of a breakthrough!"

Pang Lai became more and more satisfied, yet also more and more alarmed.

"This...this..."

Jiang Yu, who was standing to the side, was so scared that he peed his pants.

"You little brat, now you know there are always people better than you, right?" Pang Lai glanced at him and said irritably.

Jiang Haoxuan is a rare talent, and Jiang Yu's talent is also quite good. With steady progress, he will at least reach the super-level in the future.

That's right, people from Beijing have a lot of problems; they're self-righteous and arrogant.

With Jiang Haoxuan, this prodigy, around, it's a good thing to keep these people in check!

"Master... Junior Brother Haoxuan is like a mountain! How can I compare to him!"

Jiang Yu gave a wry smile.

"What a load of rubbish, junior brother!"

"You are the junior brother. From now on, Jiang Haoxuan will be your senior brother. You can ask him for advice."

Pang Lai said irritably.

Jiang Yu: "..."

Jiang Haoxuan's extraordinary talent left him speechless.

"By the way, Haoxuan, have you used up the resources I gave you?"

"Take this."

Without waiting for Jiang Haoxuan to speak, Pang Lai tossed out a spatial ring.

"Thank you, teacher."

Jiang Haoxuan expressed his gratitude.

High-level cultivation requires enormous resources, and since Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai are both at the Grand Commander level, the resources they consume are astronomical.

With his current financial resources, he simply cannot afford to support them.

"Don't worry, I'll help you collect the materials for your two contracted beasts to break through."

Pang Lai saw his predicament and comforted him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."

Jiang Haoxuan expressed his gratitude.

Sure enough, it's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.

Pang Lai was truly good to him, and Jiang Haoxuan remembered this kindness. How could he bear to let such a master die?

……

at the same time.

The capital's academic institutions.

Dean Songhe looked distressed. "This exchange competition is doomed."

Lu Yiming, who was standing to the side, was a little confused.

The latest novel is first published here!

How did such a perfectly good exchange match end up being ruined?

"Dean, are you worried that this year's freshmen at Pearl Academy are too strong?"

Lu Yiming asked tentatively.

Songhe nodded with a wry smile.

powerful!

He's more than just strong! He's practically a monster!

They're already at a high level, and they even have commander-level contracted beasts! What's the point of comparing?

"Dean, don't worry too much. The foundation of Mingzhu Academy has always been overshadowed by our Imperial Capital Academy..." Lu Yiming said, not knowing about Jiang Haoxuan's situation.

"well……"

Songhe smiled wryly again, offering no further explanation.

"In short, you tell the students that participation is the most important thing, and they shouldn't take winning or losing too seriously."

"Go."

Songhe waved his hand.

"oh!"

Lu Yiming left looking completely bewildered.

What does the dean mean by that?

eccentric!

……

Our lodging at Mingzhu Academy.

"Brother Jiang, I didn't know you had relatives in the capital."

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan found Jiang Haoxuan, with the former complaining.

"They're not really relatives, they're my teacher."

Jiang Haoxuan smiled.

"Jiang Haoxuan, according to my information, your teacher is no ordinary person. He's the chief court mage; that title alone is enough to terrify anyone!"

Zhao Manyan said with an envious look.

"That amazing?"

Mo Fan looked completely bewildered.

After all, he came from an ordinary family, so naturally he didn't know these things.

"More than impressive!"

"In short, it's not a level we can access."

Zhao Manyan shook his head and sighed.

Jiang Haoxuan waved his hand and changed the subject, saying, "I came to the capital early this time and also found out some information about the list of students for the Capital University Exchange Competition."

At this point, Jiang Haoxuan glanced at Mo Fan and said, "The captain is your first wife."

"What? The first wife?"

The voice belonged to Zhao Manyan. He grabbed Mo Fan by the neck and shook him violently: "When did you get a first wife? You beast!"

"Cough cough..." Mo Fan's face flushed red as he shook off Zhao Manyan. "Let go! You still want to meet girls from the Imperial Capital's universities? I have connections!"

"Brother, you're my brother! Whether I can get out of being single depends on you."

Zhao Manyan looked on with anticipation.

"..."

Jiang Haoxuan looked at these two clowns and was speechless.

……

The next day.

Gu Han led the students of Mingzhu Academy into the venue.

"These are the students from Pearl Academy? They're not that great, are they?"

Lu Yiming carefully examined Jiang Haoxuan and Mo Fan's group, but didn't find anything special.

He wondered to himself, what exactly did the dean mean by those words?

I desperately want to improve, but I just can't seem to grasp it!

"Hahaha, these mediocre students from Mingzhu University are always arguing with our Imperial Capital University. We finally got picked this time. We'll definitely give them a good beating and see if they dare to question us again!" A muscular boy patted his chest and laughed heartily.

"Mingzhu Academy has always been all bark and no bite. They're all talk and no action, always unwilling to be overshadowed by our Imperial Capital Academy, but unfortunately, they've never been able to cause any real trouble," said a seemingly elegant student in white.

"Hey, I can't wait to beat these country bumpkins up!!"

Seeing how motivated the trainees were, Lu Yiming smiled.

Look how confident he is! This is what a genius from a prestigious university in the capital should be like!

"Professor Gu Han, how should we communicate?"

Lu Yiming put his thoughts behind him and said.

"Same rules as always, best two out of three!"

Gu Han laughed heartily; he couldn't wait to see the Imperial Academy make a fool of itself!

In previous years, their Mingzhu Academy was always suppressed, but this time, they can finally hold their heads high!

Lu Yiming nodded and turned to choose people.

Mingzhu Academy also selected three people.

Luo Song, Mo Fan, Jiang Haoxuan.
