The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the row of students blocking the door across from him noticed him. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly, "I am Pu Lingshidun, the head student of Blovadu Academy. I am leading a team to visit Russell Academy. Are you Master Russell?"

【I understand, it’s directed at me! 】

Pulingshidun's performance was too obvious, allowing Wanxing to immediately confirm the opponent's target.

However, Wanxing is not at all inferior. He has defeated more than 49 super-class monsters in these days, including some at LV.

According to the results of the analysis and identification just now, the opponent is just a LV41 lightning magician, who is simply here to give away experience points!

"That's right. Are all of you students in Blois so free? What are you doing blocking the gate of our academy so early in the morning?" Wan Xing asked back with a stern gaze, staring directly at Pulingshidun, his momentum not inferior at all.

"Oh, it's just a visit, just a simple exchange of ideas."

Pulingshidun tilted his head with a bright smile on his face, but the arrogance hidden behind the lazy smile made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Exchange and communicate? I remember that the annual Six University Campus Exchange Competition will be held in a few months. There will be no time to exchange and communicate then. Why rush?" Wan Xing remembered that there was such an exchange competition in the game, and the reward for the first place was very precious.

"Master Russell is right, but I'm about to graduate and start working, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the exchange competition among the six major campuses. So I can only take the initiative to challenge and compete with the five major campuses one by one. Russell Academy is my first stop..."

Pulingshidun paused, his tone already filled with a hint of sarcasm. "On the way to Russell City, I heard about Master Russell's [great deeds] in the Adventurer's Guild—his ability to continuously complete missions to subjugate super-class monsters. I'm sure your combat power has reached the pinnacle of the super-class. Don't you dare to have a fair fight with me, an early-stage super-class magician? Are you afraid?"

Little Brother A, standing to Pulingshidun's left, hypocritically advised, "Chief, please don't make things difficult for them. A super-class monster usually requires an entire team of super-class adventurers to safely defeat. Master Russell just wants to show off. If he were to argue with you now, wouldn't everything be exposed?"

Little Brother B, standing to Pulingshidun's right, jumped in and sneered, "No way, no way, no way anyone really believes this guy can defeat a super-class monster? Look at him trying to evade everything and acting like a coward, don't make me sick!"

"Very good, you have successfully angered a dragon. I will show you what sparring is all about!"

Wan Xing pretended to fall for their provocation and angrily agreed to the challenge that both sides had been looking forward to.

Chapter 48: Strong Identifier

Upon hearing Wan Xing's agreement to compete, Pu Lingshidun's face showed a hint of pride - it seemed that his tactics of provoking the opponent were very successful, especially when used against someone as concerned about face as the Duke's son.

In fact, Pulingshidun had prepared several backup plans, but he didn't expect that Wanxing would take the bait after just one move!

It seems that the Duke's son is just as the rumors say, a playboy who is uneducated but also ambitious.

Pulingshidun chuckled with disdain, saying, "Since Master Russell is so eager to spar, I am more than happy to accept the challenge. However, swords are blind and magic is merciless. We will follow the rules of a normal duel. Master Russell, do you dare?"

In his remarks, he first reversed cause and effect, saying that Wanxing was the initiator of the competition, and then pretended to casually propose the rules of the duel in an attempt to clear himself of the charge of murder, and finally added another provocation.

Apparently, he found that this method worked well for Wanxing, so he tried to use the same trick again.

The younger brother standing beside him understood instantly and joined in the sarcasm, saying, "Chief, you're making things difficult for me again. Young Master Russell worked so hard to accept the super-level subjugation mission just to show off his prowess. If he doesn't dare to accept the challenge now, he'll probably become a laughing stock in the entire aristocratic circle in the future..."

Just when Brother B wanted to join in the ridicule,

Wan Xing interrupted the other party and said, "Why not? All three of you come together!"

"Is this true?"

Pu Lingshidun was overjoyed when he heard this. The Duke's son actually took the initiative to ask for an increase in difficulty. Is there such a good thing?

When we spar later, maybe I can just do some homework and let the Duke's son die at my hands, and then let me take most of the responsibility, so that my own risk can be greatly reduced!

"Of course, this young master always keeps his word. I will beat three of them!"

The main concern was that if Wanxing killed one of them in a duel, the other two would be afraid to fight. Pulingshidun and his younger brothers Jia and Yi were both at the early stages of the Transcendent Realm. The experience points they contributed were probably higher than the other one hundred or so students at Bulovadu Academy combined.

After a pause, Wan Xing smiled kindly and said, "Besides, you just said that my fighting power has reached the peak of the super class. If I fight you one-on-one, wouldn't I be bullying an honest person?"

"Master Russell is a true hero! I admire you!" Pu Lingshidun said this, but secretly added another label to Wanxing after "unlearned" and "ambitious" - "arrogant and proud".

It turns out that weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is!

"That's called fairness! This young master is worthy of being the son of Duke Russell. How could he possibly bully an honest person?"

This time, Little Brother B seized the opportunity and spoke before Little Brother A, using the method of flattery to block all of Wanxing's escape routes and continuously forcing him to death.

Since both sides of the duel were eager to kill each other,

So the competition started directly in the square outside the gate of Russell Academy.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of students and guards,

Pulingshidun and his younger brothers A and B disappeared in a flash!

The specific process was that Xingyi used space movement to take Wanxing away from the spot, avoiding a series of attacks such as [Thunder Spear], [Earth Stab], [Fighting Skills·Sweeping the Troops]...

I have to admit that Pulingshidun and his younger brothers Jia and Yi are quite capable and have a good understanding of each other.

Especially the lightning magic [Thunder Spear], which moves at a speed close to the speed of light. It is extremely difficult for ordinary super-level masters to dodge it, and they can only cast magic shields or fight spirit to protect their bodies.

Once you choose to resist, you will be controlled in place and then die from the subsequent magic and fighting attacks.

But the speed of light also has its limits. The space movement brought Wanxing and Xingyi to appear behind the other three in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a blue light flashed, and Xing Yi swallowed the three opponents into the stomach space in one gulp. The reason why he did not use [Multiple Dragon Breaths] was because there were too many people present, and with the wide coverage of the dragon breath, it was very easy to cause accidental injuries.

However, Xingyi's devouring talent is sufficient and can be regarded as a strong identifier.

Once ordinary fish are swallowed into the stomach space, they will soon be reduced to ashes.

Unless one is much stronger than Xingyi, or possesses special spatial abilities, or has precious life-saving magic items, he can escape from her stomach space.

Unfortunately, Pulingshidun and his younger brothers Jia and Yi are all poor students sponsored by the royal family. Apart from their own super-class qualifications, they cannot even afford to buy a super-class weapon or equipment, so how can they have magic props to save their lives?

Perhaps after serving the royal family for more than a decade in the future, they can earn enough money to buy a full set of super-class equipment and props.

But now, they could only panic and attack all around in the stomach space, but they hit nothing and eventually died powerlessly from the corrosive effect of the stomach space.

The above process may seem cumbersome, but it actually happens in a flash.

To the hundreds of students and guards around them, they saw only a flash of blue light, and then Pulingshidun and his subordinates A and B disappeared. Then they saw them unleash attacks like [Thunder Spear], [Earth Thrust], and [Fighting Skill: Sweeping the Enemy].

When the aftermath of the attack and the smoke and dust dissipated, only Wanxing and Xingyi, who was lying on his shoulder, were left there.

This outcome was completely beyond everyone's expectations:

The guards and Russell Academy students who believed in Wanxing had originally envisioned a magnificent and evenly matched battle.

After all, the opponent is the chief of Blovadu Academy, the super-class lightning magician Pulingshidun, and his two super-class teammates.

Even if Young Master Wanxing wins in the end, he will definitely have to go through a tough battle.

And those who suspected Wanxing of cheating in the Adventurer's Guild,

Those who don't believe that he can defeat the super-class monsters,

The originally expected scene was also an instant kill.

But that was the scene where Pulingshidun killed Wanxing in seconds, not the current scene where Tiangang was defeated.

Even the captain of the Royal Secret Guard, Ci Yi'a, who was observing secretly from a distance, was stunned by this outcome.

"Wrong, the intelligence we collected before was all wrong. Could it be that all the secret guards who sneaked into the Duke's Mansion were instigated by Duke Russell?"

Thinking of this, Ci Yi'a muttered to himself with a tingling scalp, "Judging from the target's combat prowess, it's very possible that he resolved the assassination attempt by the secret guards himself, or perhaps he defeated the super-class monster himself... I have to report this news to His Highness immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Ci Yi'a came to Russell City just to confirm Wanxing's death.

Although he verbally promised Pulingshidun that after completing the task of killing Wanxing, he would save his life in the name of the Grand Prince - but this was just a lie!

Now that Pulingshidun has failed and died, Ciyi'a will definitely not show up.

Chapter 49: Universal Change

After the duel, Wan Xing happily received a system prompt. The experience points gained from killing Pulingshidun and his younger brothers Jia and Yi were equivalent to three super-level subjugation missions!

Thanks to the Big Prince for the 3 experience packs! I hope to get more next time!

The guards and students of Russell Academy all cheered with joy.

Some passersby who didn't know Wanxing were asking people around to find out about Wanxing's origins.

After hearing that he was the rumored Duke's son, the Ten Thousand Star Russell who had solved dozens of super-level subjugation missions in the Adventurer's Guild and created a safe environment around Russell City, everyone praised him.

"It seems that our choice to come to Russell Academy was the right one. Young Master Russell is also a freshman this year, but he was able to defeat the top-ranked leader of Blovadu Academy. This proves that the teaching level of Russell Academy is far superior to that of Blovadu Academy!"

"That's right. We have to follow the right people as guards. If we follow a cowardly master, we will suffer in the future. We are lucky to have a master as decisive and ruthless as Master Russell."

……

Although it is not known how much sincerity there is in these words, at least on the surface, they all support Wanxing's victory.

This is the advantage of being a villain - you need power and background to get involved. If it was Pulingshidun who killed Wanxing, he would definitely beat the younger one to lure out the older one. Without the royal family's help, Pulingshidun would have no way out.

But now if Wanxing kills Pulingshidun, the big thing will be turned into a small thing.

The guards and students of Russell Academy all expressed their support, while the students of Blois Academy could only leave in disgrace.

At most, it would only cause dissatisfaction and resentment from the eldest prince.

But more debts are better than nothing. The eldest prince wanted to kill Wanxing in the first place, and his hatred level was already full, so there was nothing more he could do about it - now both sides were in a situation where neither could do anything to the other.

The eldest prince can only send super-class assassins, who come to give experience points.

If Wanxing wants to kill the prince, he needs to level up first. For example, if he waits until Xingyi reaches LV70, and then goes to the Dragon's Nest to get equipment and props, it will be enough to flatten the Magic Empire.

Therefore, Wan Xing did not indulge in the cheers and praises from the people around him.

He took the little maid Loelle and the familiar Xingyi directly to the Adventurer's Guild to continue completing today's super-level subjugation mission.

……

Wanxing, who was obsessed with defeating super-class monsters, naturally had no idea how much shock his duel had brought to the six major campuses of the Magic Empire.

Detailed information about the duel spread across the country like snowflakes.

From the cause of the duel, when Pulingshidun wanted to challenge the strongest in the five major campuses, to the subsequent result, when Wanxing defeated Pulingshidun and his teammates in seconds, the teacher wrote down detailed teaching materials and showed them to the students.

The textbook lists Wan Xing's detailed personal information:

For example, his height, weight, age, as well as the cultivation level of high-level magicians and high-level warriors, etc. His previous deeds of conquering many super-level monsters were also revealed one by one.

The textbooks even included duel footage recorded using light and shadow magic. No one knew who filmed it and spread it, exposing Wan Xing's handsome appearance.

Wanxing hasn't been paid any copyright or portrait fees. That's really unethical!

The key point is that Xingyi, who was lying on his shoulder, was also recorded. Fortunately, she had always maintained the image of a slime, so she was treated as a mutated slime and marked as having special devouring abilities.

As for the ability to teleport, the textbook speculates that it is the effect of a magic item on Wanxing's body.

However, he gained something in return because of Wanxing's powerful strength and handsome appearance in the duel video, and he inexplicably had a group of fans in the Magic Empire.

Even as the duel video spread abroad, Wanxing gradually developed fan girls in other countries.

Of course, he will only realize the benefits of this when he opens his eyes to the world in the future.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another seven days have passed.

During these seven days, Wanxing completed 14 more missions to subjugate super-class monsters, and finally received a system prompt:

【Experience value is full, level up! 】

[Magician Level: LV39-LV40] (Current Experience Value 0.05%)

[Warrior Level: LV39-LV40] (0.05% of current experience value)

[Level of your familiar Xingyi: LV39-LV40] (0.05% of current experience value)

The tremendous magic power and fighting spirit that increased during the upgrade made Wanxing feel comfortable all over.

But compared to the physical comfort, Wan Xing was more excited mentally - because he could finally go and conquer the BOSS on the 40th floor of the Russell Maze!

The days he spent doing quests in the Adventurer's Guild added up to almost half a month... a full half a month. Do you know how he got through this half month?

I'm on the road and casting explosive magic every day!

It was quite interesting to have my little maid Loelle to hold and chat with while I was on the road.

But casting explosive magic requires replenishing mana. He almost vomited after drinking the magic potion, and now he feels a little nauseous when he smells the potion.
