"It's over, it's over."
Mo Fan immediately ran towards Mingzhu Academy upon hearing that.
As soon as Jiang Yuan came down, Mo Fan pulled him aside and earnestly pleaded, "My main wife is about to go on stage later; you must remember to go easy on her!"
"Main wife?" Jiang Yuan feigned ignorance and said, "I don't even know who your main wife is. Besides, Dean Xiao specifically instructed me for this sparring match to showcase the spirit of our Mingzhu Academy, so I can't go easy!"
"You're full of it!"
Mo Fan indignantly retorted, "I told you who my main wife was ages ago, and you even saw her back at Tianlan High School. Now you're telling me you don't know. Stop playing dumb!"
Jiang Yuan, exposed, remained completely unfazed. He smiled and said, "Just watch from the audience, and don't worry about anything else. Don't you trust me?"
"Fine, I trust you to handle things." Mo Fan uttered this with great difficulty, then walked towards the audience, looking back every few steps.
"If you keep being so wishy-washy, do you want me to make you spar with a Three-Eyed Underworld General after my match?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but say.
"If that means you'll go easy on Mu Ningxue, then I guess I can. But you have to be gentle then; my delicate body can't withstand your rough handling," Mo Fan said.
...
Jiang Yuan's eye twitched, and he selectively ignored Mo Fan's words.
Mo Fan always managed to say something shocking.
...
After a brief rest, the next sparring match was about to begin.
This time, Mingzhu Academy still had the same four people.
On the other side were Mu Ningxue, Lu Zhenghe, Ming Cong, and Xiao Feng.
"Imperial Academy versus Mingzhu Academy, second match begins!"
The referee gave the command.
Snowflakes suddenly swirled around Mu Ningxue's hands. Everyone else had already shed their initial disdain and stood ready for battle.
Jiang Yuan waited for their Star Maps to be drawn before he moved.
He walked step by step towards the Imperial Academy's side.
"Thunderbolt—Yaksha!"
"Wind Disc—Heavenly Net!"
One purple and one green Star Map lit up.
Purple lightning tore through the air, emitting a roaring sound, and instantly arrived before Jiang Yuan. Following closely behind was a massive spiral tornado, approaching with an unstoppable momentum!
"Why isn't he using magic yet?" Everyone looked at Jiang Yuan strangely. There were no terrifying tentacles around him like in the previous match, and they couldn't help but feel a chill.
If he were to take these two Intermediate-level spells head-on with his physical body, it would likely be more than just a serious injury.
Just as the spells were about to land on Jiang Yuan, a massive burst of death energy erupted, and a deep, abyssal roar slid up to the sky with the wind.
Countless tentacles surrounded Jiang Yuan, and the purple lightning and green tornado storm couldn't even break through a single layer of defense.
"Don't hold back any magic energy, go all out!" Mu Ningxue immediately commanded upon seeing this.
At the same time, ice and wind appeared around her, making her look like a snow-wind spirit floating in mid-air.
A chilling aura permeated, wantonly invading every corner of the dueling arena.
And Jiang Yuan on that side moved again. A single Undead Tentacle blocked Mu Ningxue's Ice Lock.
Then, two tentacles drilled into the Wind Disc she was using, and with a forceful tear, the tornado storm formed by the Wind Disc split in two and quickly dissipated into the air!
"Go, Phantom Wolf!"
Lu Zhenghe had already summoned his Phantom Wolf and immediately ordered it to attack directly.
In his opinion, the Phantom Wolf was a Warrior-level demon, and Jiang Yuan would absolutely not be able to handle it so easily!
However, he was dumbfounded the next second.
Jiang Yuan, while dealing with Mu Ningxue, didn't even glance at the Phantom Wolf. An Undead Tentacle seemed to casually swipe at the Phantom Wolf's body.
With just one strike, the Phantom Wolf was sent flying out of the arena, its fate unknown.
"So strong!" Mu Nujiao murmured from behind.
Although she had witnessed Jiang Yuan's strength several times, each time she saw him, Jiang Yuan seemed to grow stronger.
At first, during the welcoming ceremony, he battled Warrior-level undead, overpowering all students in Qing Campus, becoming the Pearl Newcomer King.
The second time she saw him on the Main Campus, his Undead System had advanced to High-level, and even his undead had advanced to Commander-level. He had also awakened the extremely difficult Space, crushing the Main Campus and becoming the number one in Mingzhu.
And in the Imperial Capital, it was the third time. Jiang Yuan used a new power she had never seen before.
This power gave her an even greater sense of oppression than the Commander-level Three-Eyed Underworld General!
Most importantly, Jiang Yuan had almost never used his third System.
How strong would his third magic System be?
As Mu Nujiao thought, her beautiful eyes were filled with the image of Jiang Yuan single-handedly crushing the Imperial Academy.
The result of the second sparring match was still without suspense.
Even Mu Ningxue, the Imperial Academy's top genius, still couldn't pose any threat to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan walked step by step, as if strolling on the dueling arena. The Undead Tentacles under his feet easily fended off incoming magic, and sometimes the tentacles would directly tear apart spells, causing a series of explosions.
"Is this really a student?"
Outside the arena, Lu Yiming's expression was grim.
This was completely different from what he had initially imagined.
Shouldn't the Imperial Academy be crushing Mingzhu Academy?
Why was it the other way around now?
Moreover, only one person from Mingzhu Academy took action, yet it forced the Imperial Academy to go all out, still unable to cause him any harm.
"It seems we underestimated Mingzhu Academy." Lu Yiming sighed, his gaze fixed deeply on Jiang Yuan.
The audience in the stands was even more astonished.
Especially the exchange students from various academies who had come to spar, they were utterly shocked, completely unable to believe their eyes.
Soon, Jiang Yuan felt it was time to end it. The Undead Tentacles under his feet suddenly accelerated, clearing everyone from the Imperial Academy out of the arena in just one breath!
Silence, a deathly silence.
Only the exchange students from various academies erupted in cheers after a brief silence.
"Is this real? Mingzhu Academy crushed the Imperial Academy..."
"This person is too monstrous. Which major power cultivated him?"
"The Judgment Association, perhaps. Only the Judgment Association would produce such a prodigy. It must be the Judgment Association!!"
...
Jiang Yuan had already walked down from the stage at this point.
Coming to Qin Yun's side, Jiang Yuan smiled, "Mission accomplished!"
"Not bad, not bad. When we go back, I'll definitely help you get some benefits from the Dean." Qin Yun patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder, his expression jubilant.
On the other side, everyone from the Imperial Academy looked disheartened.
Such a result was too difficult to accept.
No one would have expected such an outcome, yet it happened.
"Mentor, what kind of magic are those grayish-black tentacles?" Mu Ningxue asked Lu Yiming.
"There's a vast amount of death energy on them; it should be Undead magic," Lu Yiming said with some hesitation.
He couldn't be sure either, because he had never seen such powerful Undead magic.
In his impression, Undead magic was always about contracting undead, summoning undead, and mages who played with swarm tactics.
