Chapter 90 A foul mouth will be punished by heaven.
In the viewing area for school leaders, those who could sit there were no ordinary people. They could naturally see that Xue Ling was hiding some of her strength. Therefore, a professor quickly praised her, saying, "A warrior-level summoned beast with the strength of a mid-level second-tier lightning-type beast. As expected of a freshman specially recruited by the dean to the main campus, her strength is indeed extraordinary."
"No wonder the principal increased the reward for beating him so much. Beating him is practically hellish for the students of the Qing Campus. Maybe the senior students from the main campus could beat him," a professor murmured.
Dean Xiao said meaningfully, "It's probably going to be tough for us to beat him, but don't underestimate this kid."
The only people who knew Jiang Han's true strength were those who were in the training hall that day. Therefore, apart from Dean Xiao, the other professors were unaware of Jiang Han's strength, which is why some people thought that the senior students from the main campus might be able to defeat Jiang Han.
Below, more students stepped into the arena. This time, the students from the Qing Campus were leading the way. They were Zhuang Lifeng from the Zhuang family, Bai Zangfeng from the Bai family, and Shen Shanhe from the Shen family. All three of them were mid-level mages. Behind them were seven novice mages who ranked high in their respective colleges.
After Zhuang Lifeng stepped onto the stage, he smiled and introduced himself. In his opinion, if he recruited such a talented young man as Jiang Han into their Zhuang family, his chances of competing for the family heir would be greatly increased. Bai Zangfeng and Shen Shanhe went on stage purely for the reward of the Three-Step Tower.
"My name is Zhuang Lifeng, a disciple of the Zhuang family. Would you be interested in joining our family after graduation?" Zhuang Lifeng said with a smile, his polite demeanor befitting a member of a prominent family.
Bai Zangfeng glanced at Zhuang Lifeng and said disdainfully, "Zhuang Lifeng, I think you're getting more and more useless. You're trying to recruit just anyone into your Zhuang family. So what if he's a mid-level lightning mage who has awakened the summoning ability? What's so great about him? Today I'll show him the difference between him and the scions of our aristocratic families."
"Haha, Bai Zangfeng, your star chart control is excellent, but mine is no less so. I'm determined not to let you steal the limelight today," Shen Shanhe said with a chuckle.
"Is that so? Just don't embarrass our four great families," Bai Zangfeng said sarcastically.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so Jiang Han smiled at Zhuang Lifeng and politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to join any faction for the time being."
"Alright, feel free to contact me anytime if you change your mind," Zhuang Lifeng said helplessly.
"See? They're not even planning to join your company, and you still have the nerve to ask?" Bai Zangfeng mocked.
"Are you close to him?" Jiang Han looked at Zhuang Lifeng. Zhuang Lifeng guessed what Jiang Han meant, so he shook his head and said, "If you want to take action, please do so. I don't know him."
As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, purple lightning arcs surged around his body, and a purple star map was rapidly being constructed beneath his feet. The star trails intersected and connected, transmitting lightning elements. The sky was once again shrouded in dark clouds, and the lightning within the clouds did not take long to gather before it descended from the sky with a swing of Jiang Han's right hand, its target being the foul-mouthed Bai Zangfeng.
"Boom!!!" This time Jiang Han didn't hold back, mainly because Bai Zangfeng's mouth was too annoying.
You challenged me for the qualification to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower, and I have nothing to say, but you seem to feel uncomfortable if you don't belittle others a couple of times. You really have a sharp tongue and an itchy skin.
A raging bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking Bai Zangfeng directly. As the lightning struck, the ground began to crack. Although Bai Zangfeng reacted quickly and drew his defensive magical artifact, it was as if made of paper and shattered before the violent lightning. The lightning blasted Bai Zangfeng away, leaving him charred black—almost cooked. If it were heated any further, it would probably make the demons next door drool.
"Quick, quick, quick! Medical team, come up and carry him away!" Gu Han shouted at the top of her lungs after realizing what was happening.
Two medical teams quickly went up to the stage and carried the unconscious Bai Zangfeng away. Jiang Han said calmly, "Alright, now it's much quieter. Let's continue our match. Don't take that guy to heart."
"Uh..." Zhuang Lifeng and Shen Shanhe were both speechless. So you were holding back when you were competing with the others.
Bai Zangfeng was still injured even after using defensive magic items, which made Zhuang Lifeng and Shen Shanhe cautious. Zhuang Lifeng led two wind mages to harass Xue Ling, preventing her from rescuing Jiang Han, while Shen Shanhe led three fire mages and two lightning mages to besiege Jiang Han.
"Thunder Seal!!"
"Sizzle and explode!!"
"Fire scorches and burns bones!!"
"·····"
The lightning seal enveloped Jiang Han, attempting to prevent him from unleashing magic. Just as several scorching flames were about to strike, Jiang Han dodged in time. The blazing flames exploded on the ground, and the fierce heatwave slammed into him, dissipating much of the chill around him. If this weren't a competition, Jiang Han could have easily blocked these attacks with his Thunder Dragon Armguard. He might have been a bit embarrassed, but at least his trump card wouldn't have been exposed.
"Ice Lock, Bone Crusher!!"
An ice-themed star map was instantly constructed beneath Jiang Han's feet. After the star map was successfully constructed, the temperature in the arena dropped several degrees. The students sitting near the arena tightened their clothes, and snowflakes could be vaguely seen falling from the sky.
Perhaps to cooperate with Jiang Han, Xue Ling’s two huge tails shook violently, causing the temperature in the arena to drop again. Before long, the entire arena was covered in ice and snow, and Zhuang Lifeng, Shen Shanhe and others standing in the arena felt as if they were in an ice cave.
After the arena was covered in ice and snow, Xue Ling's speed increased significantly. Zhuang Lifeng and the two wind mages lost their advantage. Soon, one wind mage was caught up by Xue Ling and swatted away with a claw, while the other was whipped away by Xue Ling's fluffy tail. The one who was swatted away by Xue Ling's claw had a rather resentful look in his eyes, as if to say that Xue Ling was treating him differently.
"Vines, entwine!!"
Several green vines sprouted from the frozen ground and enveloped Xue Ling. Each vine was as thick as an arm and covered with dense barbs. Just as Xue Ling was about to pounce on Zhuang Lifeng, its hind legs were firmly bound by the green vines.
Boom! Caught off guard, Xue Ling was suddenly bound by vines, preventing its massive body from crashing onto the ice and scattering countless tiny ice shards. Zhuang Lifeng looked at Xue Ling, whose hind legs were bound, and said apologetically, "Sorry, brother, I've already captured your summoned beast. Also, let me tell you something: I'm not just a wind mage; I also minor in plant magic."
Plant magic belongs to white magic, and its control effect on servant-level summoned beasts is quite strong, but Xue Ling is not a servant-level summoned beast. Jiang Han, while controlling the ice chains to attack Shen Shanhe and the others, replied to Zhuang Lifeng, "Your apology seems a bit premature. Take another look, is my summoned beast really trapped by you?"
Zhuang Lifeng turned to look at Xue Ling, who had fallen onto the ice. At some point, Xue Ling had broken free from the vines' restraints. Several pieces of green vines lay on the ground, and her deep blue eyes stared straight at Zhuang Lifeng. He raised his paw and slapped her hard.
That wretched fellow actually tripped it up; the grass on the grave of the last person who bullied it is already two feet tall.
"Wind Track, Phantom!!" Xue Ling's claws descended, but instead of striking Zhuang Lifeng himself, they struck an illusion.
