Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

"I heard..." Lu Jun said, "The team with the best performance in the entrance examination can enter the Three-Step Pagoda to practice for a day."

After hearing this, Dean Xiao burst out laughing. It turned out that this guy was planning to do this. He was really taking advantage of others.

He waved his hand and said, "It's just one day. You already have seven days. What if you extend it to eight days?"

Lu Jun was so excited that he quickly thanked her, "Hehehe, Dean, you are so generous. Thank you very much."

Dean Xiao stopped. He was very optimistic about Lu Jun, not to mention that the other party bravely resisted the monsters during the flood season two months ago, which brought honor to Mingzhu Academy and increased its reputation. He still had to express his gratitude.

If Lu Jun had not refused, the commendation meeting would have been held long ago.

Seeing Lu Jun and the other man leaving, he stroked his chin, smiled, picked up the communicator on the table, and sent a group message to a few old friends: "This year's school [Exchange Student] will be hosted by Mingzhu."

Not long after, the principals of the Imperial Capital Academy and the Southern Academy responded one after another, quite surprised: "Old Xiao, you are very brave. You are so confident this year."

"Okay, wait for me to ask the administration to come up with a set of rules, and then the exchange competition will be held at your place."

After finishing the work, Dean Xiao put down his phone with satisfaction. As the saying goes, if someone doesn't use it, the graduation will be invalid.

Lu Jun is one of the most talented and capable freshmen at Mingzhu Academy in recent decades. He has to show off his talent to increase the reputation of Mingzhu Academy. Otherwise, when Lu Jun graduates, he will be ranked second again.

When you go to the central government to ask for funding, it will be very embarrassing if someone asks you "What is your first place?"

On the other side, Lu Jun didn't know what Dean Xiao was planning. He and Ding Yumian were walking on the way to the main campus. Holding the Dean's recommendation letter, he turned around and asked, "Are you... going to the Fire College?"

Ding Yumian nodded, lifted her hair and said with a smile: "It's very close to your Water Academy. We can get together when we have time. But I heard that there seem to be more girls in the Water Academy, and they are all very pretty. You are lucky."

Hearing this, Lu Jun hurriedly shook his head and said seriously: "I will only work hard to practice, only hit the list, not the stakes!"

"What are you talking about?" Ding Yumian turned away, put his hands behind his back and walked away: "Who cares what you do."

Seeing the back of the cool and elegant lady in white, Lu Jun scratched his head. The two of them went their separate ways and reported to their respective departments.

Afterwards, he went to the Three-Step Pagoda, ready to break through.

At the same time, news came that Lu Jun was admitted to the main campus without taking an entrance exam. The freshmen not only had no objection, but also breathed a sigh of relief, while the old students shouted that the wolf was coming!

Chapter 101 All-round Intermediate Level

Lu Jun was too lazy to pay attention to the public opinion on the campus forum, and soon arrived at the place where the Three-Step Pagoda was located.

The three-step tower presents a completely symmetrical three-dimensional triangle. Its exterior looks like it is made of silver metal. It stands straight up and is particularly conspicuous in the main campus.

The senior at the door recognized him and exclaimed when they first met: "Lu Rentu, are you at the main campus?"

The senior student was very enthusiastic, and even nodded and bowed, constantly introducing the Three-Step Pagoda to him: "This Three-Step Pagoda was built by a great sage who mainly cultivated the earth system and secondarily cultivated the space system. It gathers a huge amount of earth vein energy from a radius of thousands of miles."

"It looks small on the outside, but the space inside is infinite. An intermediate magician can usually practice on the first or second floor. The pressure brought by the high-density energy on each level will cause the nebula magic energy in the spiritual world to be consumed drastically. It depends on your ability to bear it."

"Now, just go in on your own."

Hearing this, Lu Jun smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much."

The senior student was flattered and said, "No need, no need. Lu Rentu is very powerful. He killed the Black Church and resisted the Huangpu River demons, allowing us to practice in peace."

Seeing this, Lu Jun was deeply moved. Compared to when Mo Fan came here a year later, the treatment was completely different. Anyway, the other party did not tell Mo Fan about the spatial pressure, and wanted to trick Mo Fan.

If Mo Fan hadn't been born with four talents and the nebula hadn't had a large capacity, he would have been doomed. If he had passed out, seven days would have been wasted. It can only be said that he attracted too much hatred. It's unlike him to be kind and friendly.

When Lu Jun stepped inside, the stairs in front of him looked extremely shocking. There were only steps suspended in the darkness, leading up step by step to a higher triangular suspended platform with a very geometric feel.

When Lu Jun walked up the stairs, he walked smoothly at first without any obstacles. Later on, he felt dizzy and uncomfortable. As he continued to walk up, his breathing became heavy and his magic energy continued to be consumed.

However, his cultivation was higher than when Mo Fan came a year later, so it was not a big deal. He easily reached the first floor in one breath.

Wow!

Suddenly, tremendous energy surged in from all directions. The four systems of nebulae had corresponding elements respectively: the soft and refreshing water element, the sharp and fierce gold element, the cool and focused mind element, and the ominous and strange curse element. The moisturized body was very comfortable.

As for the first level, the speed of cultivation is more than twenty times that of the outside world. One day of cultivation is equivalent to half a month in the outside world.

Lu Jun was so happy that he didn't stop on the first floor and continued to move up.

In the process, the pressure on his spiritual world became greater and greater, and his spiritual thoughts were baptized and tempered.

That's right! This time, Lu Jun plans to take advantage of this pressure and the feedback from the nebula breakthrough to break through the third level of the spiritual realm in one fell swoop!

He had been in the second realm for five months and had been tempered by Ding Yumian seven or eight times. He had already stepped half a foot into the third realm. All he needed was some help.

After a while, Lu Jun reached the second level. The energy concentration was forty times, and the pressure was also doubled. His breathing became much faster, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Go up one more level."

Boom!

When he struggled to withstand the pressure and reached the top floor, the heavy pressure almost drained the magic energy of the four nebulae, and he had to use his still strong mental strength to hold on.

The energy concentration here is 80 times, and don’t forget, Lu Jun has the White Tiger Pendant, a nebula magic weapon, which increases it by 2.5 times on this basis, nearly two hundred times the speed.

One day is equivalent to half a year, and the Three-Step Pagoda is worthy of the title of a holy place for cultivation.

Only in this way, Mo Fan's speed of reaching the ceiling in the intermediate stage was faster than that in the initial stage. Even though the former was forcibly weakened twice, it took him two years to reach the ceiling in all systems, while the latter took three years to cultivate two systems in the initial stage.

It should be noted that intermediate-level cultivation is a long process. For example, five months have passed since the start of school for Lu Jun, and his four departments are only on the verge of breakthroughs.

"I'm going to take off now!"

Lu Jun sat down cross-legged with great effort, immersed in cultivation. He relaxed his spiritual world a little, and suddenly countless elements poured in like a tide, and the nebula expanded steadily.

On the first day, the water nebula broke through to level 2... On the second day, the mind nebula broke through to level 2... On the third day, the curse nebula broke through to level 2...

In the dark universe, three nebulae of azure blue, dark green and transparent color expanded by two times, reaching the same height as the gold system. They refused to give in to each other and occupied the center.

The difference in magical power between level two and level one is enough to illustrate the realm span of the intermediate level.

This is just the middle level. When it comes to the higher levels, the span is even bigger. The supreme super level is even more one level at a time, one system at a time.

Buzz!

At this moment, Lu Jun was sitting cross-legged on the platform, bathing in the colorful rays of light. His aura was rising steadily, abundant magic power was surging in his body, and his strength was greatly increased.

At the same time, he made a concerted effort, with the help of the second-level intermediate level of the three departments, concentrated his mind, and continued to attack that barrier.

About two days later, Lu Jun's brows bulged, a strong mental force took over, and a small silver pool vaguely formed in his mind. He was promoted to the [Third Realm]!

Bring 2.5 times the blessing to the Psychic and Curse systems.

The former is fine, but the latter itself has a [Curse Seal] cursed material bonus. If the curse is applied, it may be able to corrode the commander-level defensive shell, which is very effective in restraining this type of monster.

Eight days, now there are only three days left, the elemental energy concentration around Lu Jun has dropped to about fifty times.

This is normal, similar to the [siphon principle]. If there is less water in one bottle, the other bottle with more water will continue to be poured over until the two are equal.

As Lu Jun's cultivation level increased, the more water he had, the less the increase he brought. The pressure on his spirit was also caused by this principle. (The above is the original text)

"All systems are mid-level, and the mental power is at the third level. Next, I will focus on the gold system and see if I can break through to the third level."

He thought to himself that he should seize this opportunity and practice hard, and the platinum-gold light continued to spread in his spiritual world.

Three days later, Lu Jun walked out of the Three-Step Tower, feeling refreshed. The senior student guarding the door said enviously, "Congratulations, it looks like you have made great progress in eight days."

Lu Jun said modestly: "Senior, when you succeed in the ranking, you will be the same as me."

After bidding farewell to Senior Wuming, he headed home and secluded himself for eight days. The entrance examination of the Pearl Academy also came to an end, and one after another, mid-level mages successfully entered the main campus.

People like Bai Zhengfeng, Huang Lixing and Dongfang Ming went on to higher education one after another.

But Lu Jun didn't pay attention to them. He went straight home to sort out his gains. The changes in skill effects required careful practice.

At present, all the departments are at the intermediate level 2, but the gold department is a bit of a pity. At the end of the third day, it has only reached the peak of level 2. After all, the foundation is not solid. Since entering the Pearl Academy, I have focused more on the other three departments.

In Jinyuan Apartment, Lu Mei was immersed in controlling Xingzi. Seeing her brother coming back, she opened her beautiful eyes, held her face with her hands and teased, "Oh, you finally came home. What's wrong?"

Lu Jun was full of energy and said, "Not bad, I'm almost catching up with you."

Chapter 102 Exchange Student?!

Lu Jun didn't talk much with his sister. They both had things to do and were working hard to climb to the highest level of magic.

But before he could consolidate and rest for long, Dean Xiao called him and asked him to come over.

Lu Jun was confused about this early in the morning. He practiced two or three times and quickly rushed to Mingzhu Academy. When he arrived at Dean Xiao's office, he found that there were other people there.

There were six or seven people in total, including Ding Yumian, Dongfang Ming, Bai Zhengfeng, etc.

"What's going on?" Lu Jun asked Ding Yumian telepathically, "So many people gathered here, they seem to be the outstanding representatives among the freshmen."

Hearing this, Ding Yumian glanced over with a pair of autumn water-like crystal eyes: "Don't you know that in a few days, a group of exchange students from the Imperial Capital Academy and the Southern Academy will come here, and they want us to keep the place in order."

He responded with a look: "Oh? Then wouldn't it be a waste of work?"

"No..." Ding Yumian's gentle voice echoed in her heart: "If you win, the academy will have rewards. The one with the best performance can be rewarded within a certain amount."

"Then I want to participate!"

Lu Jun agreed immediately, and then said with a little concern: "What about you? Your situation is not good enough to help."

"Yeah." Ding Yumian snorted lightly: "I am here to hold the fort. I took the initiative to invite the top three schools this time. We have to win at home. If you can't do it, I will take action."

"Yes! We must win." Lu Jun said solemnly: "Make sure to complete the task, you just need to be careful to hide."

He figured it out and decided to sweep the top freshmen in the country before hitting the charts, just to warm himself up.

Regarding the reward from the school, Lu Jun has an idea. He wants the school to use their connections to find special magic metals from the gold series.

He had inquired about it five months ago, but unfortunately Mingzhu Academy did not specialize in this field and the results were scarce.

Dean Xiao sat in front of his desk, watching a man and a woman exchanging glances right under his nose, turning the office of several people into a stage for two people, and they were like light bulbs.

Bai Zhengfeng, Dongfang Ming and others all looked uncomfortable. Huang Lixing, who had been standing close to her best friend, looked incredulous, as if questioning why Ding Yumian had abandoned the single camp.

Of course, the two were so caught up in their heart-to-heart conversation that they completely ignored everyone else.

“Ahem.” Dean Xiao had to cough a few times to get everyone’s attention. He said seriously, “You should all know that we are going to hold an exchange competition for the three-month exchange students.”

"I can only say that I will try my best to take it seriously. Friendship comes first, and competition comes second."

Lu Jun smiled and said "I understand". He had to give the two universities a good beating to make them feel the enthusiasm and warmth. This was friendship first. Letting them come and compete for the runner-up was competition second.

After Dean Xiao explained some things, he let everyone go.

After leaving, Lu Jun was looking forward to who the exchange students would be this year. You know, he was one year older than Mo Fan, so it was estimated that there would be no such guys as Lu Zhenghe, Xu Dalong, and Liao Mingxuan.

But according to the members of the National Government War, people like Nan Jue are generally one year older than Mo Fan. It is possible that the exchange students who came this time may know someone familiar, and their value is much higher than that of Lu Zhenghe and his ilk.

……

A few days passed in a flash, and the teams from the imperial capital and the south arrived in the magic city one after another.

Two buses were parked at the main campus of Mingzhu Academy. Two groups of people got off the buses, separated from each other by a street, glared at each other, and confronted each other with hostility.

There are several outstanding people in the Imperial Capital Academy team, both handsome men and beautiful women.

A beastly man who is two meters tall, with strong bones and thick hair; a handsome man with elegant manners like a nobleman; and a small, cute and thin boy holding a black cat.

There are also two delicate and charming women with different temperaments. One has a plump figure and a flawless and pure face, like a white lotus; the other is sexy, flamboyant, and full of pride.

The beast man Zu Jiming sneered and said with dissatisfaction: "These ugly people actually want us to go to Mingzhu in person to be exchange students. They should come instead."

"That's right." The elegant Guan Yu smiled and said, "Small places are ignorant and need to broaden their horizons."

Mu Tingying said with interest to the arrogant and sexy woman: "Modu, I wonder what the children of the four major families are like. They dare to touch porcelain with my Mu family."

The innocent Nan Rong Ni at the side tried to smooth things over by saying, "We are all classmates. Competition comes second, and friendship comes first."

Only then did they stop making sarcastic remarks.

The teacher leading the team was a tall man with a very young, fair and clean face, and a scholarly temperament. He didn't care about the few people at all.

If I hadn't heard that there were some interesting topics in Shanghai, I wouldn't have been too lazy to bring a team here, and I would have been extremely indifferent to the open and secret struggles among the schools.

The thin boy Jiang Yu also did not participate in these disputes. He held a cute black cat with dark white gloves and looked around curiously.

The Southern Academy team on the other side was more low-key. Although nominally the Didu Academy was first, the Mingzhu Academy was second, and the Southern Academy was third, the team members knew their own business well, and the top two were actually in a class of their own.

The third place has always been controversial, with nine top universities tied for third place.

The teacher in charge knew that there was little hope of rising, so he lay down, turned to the two children of the aristocratic families, Zhou Xu and Li Kaifeng, and said gently: "Just play with style."

The two young men smiled and nodded on the surface, but they were actually dissatisfied and ready to make a move.

Soon, Director Jiang from the Magic City came to greet them personally. He smiled at the teacher from the Imperial City from a distance, took a few quick steps, shook hands tightly and said, "Professor Yuan, welcome. I've been waiting for you to come."
