The next morning.
A new challenge week had arrived.
Tang Miao, who had been there for a year, rarely applied to participate in a challenge!
This made Sun Yuan and Qian Kun overjoyed. After all, apart from the two of them, only Dean Xiao knew that the Lightning Element Academy had a genius student. They really wanted to show him off but never had the chance. However, as soon as Tang Miao started participating in challenges, they could promote this student. This way, when Tang Miao rose to prominence in the future, people would know that they were once Tang Miao's teachers!
As for whether Tang Miao could become a prominent figure? Did it even need to be said? With his powerful Lightning Domain and instant star-track magic, he was more than enough to be on the talent list…
"Old Sun… this kid is a bit too arrogant, isn't he? He actually wants to directly challenge Zhen Yan, who is ranked one hundred!" Qian Kun couldn't help but say in surprise after seeing who Tang Miao wanted to challenge.
Those ranked in the top one hundred, if nothing unexpected happened, should have all reached the second level of intermediate magic!
"What?"
Sun Yuan was also surprised. He immediately took the list and twitched the corner of his mouth: "I originally thought this kid was a low-key person, but now it seems that's not the case."
A mage who had just reached the intermediate level, challenging someone in the top one hundred right away. Such people were truly rare.
Watching the students arrive one after another, Sun Yuan sighed again: "Alas, this is good too. Arrogant people always need to suffer some setbacks; otherwise, how would they understand that there are always people better than you and a higher sky above?"
Qian Kun shrugged. The academy's rule was that students could challenge freely. As long as the opponent was ranked below them, they could challenge. So even he couldn't stop it…
After the personnel gradually arrived, the venue gradually became lively.
Looking at the noisy scene, Sun Yuan shouted loudly: "Everyone, quiet down!"
With his loud shout, no one spoke instantly. It could be said that at that moment, apart from the occasional sound of a gentle breeze, there was almost no other sound in the venue.
"I already have a list of challenges here. The subsequent challenges will be considered valid as long as they are held in our regular competition grounds. I believe everyone is already clear about the rules. Next, Teacher Qian will announce today's challenge list."
Teacher Qian Kun stepped out, then took out the challenge list, his gaze sweeping over the dense names of challengers and challenged. He then announced:
"Wang Le, ranked two hundred eighty, challenges Yang Mo, ranked two hundred sixty."
"Lei Qun, ranked two hundred thirty, challenges Chen Yue, ranked one hundred ninety."
"…"
"Duanmu Bo, ranked eighty-four, challenges Gongsun Mo, ranked eighty."
"…"
"Tang Miao, ranked three hundred sixty-one! Challenges Zhen Yan, ranked one hundred!"
As Qian Kun finished reading the last name, the entire Lightning Element Academy was shocked!
The last challenger directly picked the hundredth rank? Was this a joke?
"Damn, our Lightning Element's last place is actually challenging now?"
"Is this Tang Miao so arrogant that he wants to challenge Wang Yan!? Doesn't he know that the opponent is already a dual intermediate mage!?"
"…"
"Is this Tang Miao here to make a spectacle of himself?"
As Qian Kun's words fell, instantly, the students started clamoring. All kinds of sarcasm and foul language emerged endlessly.
Tang Miao, however, completely ignored these loudmouths. Although he hadn't yet mastered intermediate magic, with his instant star-track magic and Lightning Domain, it wouldn't be difficult to instantly kill opponents.
But Yang Yue and Li Ning, who shared a dorm with him, didn't think that way. They knew Tang Miao's true strength; what if the opponent was an intermediate mage? They wouldn't even have a chance to make a move! Of course, some who possessed intermediate magic tools might be better off,
but not many people in the Lightning Element Academy possessed magic tools.
Wang Yan, ranked one hundred, had no faction support. So, he certainly wouldn't have any. Moreover, being able to cultivate to this realm was already quite good!
Wang Yan, who was challenged, also had a furious expression at this moment.
Because it was as if someone was deliberately humiliating him! The last-ranked person challenging him? How could he not be angry…
"Quiet!"
As everyone started clamoring, Sun Yuan roared in anger.
After his angry roar ended, silence instantly fell. At this moment, Qian Kun was also ready to announce the first group of challenges.
But just then, Wang Yan stood up, looked at Qian Kun, and said: "Teacher, I would like to request to be the first to enter the arena, if possible?"
He was full of anger at this moment and wanted to give this guy who humiliated him a good beating!
Qian Kun paused and looked at Sun Yuan. Sun Yuan hesitated for a moment, and at this time, after the two people in the first group expressed that they didn't mind if they went first, Sun Yuan and Qian Kun discussed it and then agreed.
Qian Kun announced: "Alright, after discussing with Teacher Sun, we agree to let you go first. But remember, this is a sparring match; stop when appropriate!"
Wang Yan got up and walked towards the center of the arena, and Tang Miao also got up and went towards the center of the arena. He could understand Wang Yan's anger. If the opponent failed the challenge, they would directly drop to the last place, losing a large amount of resources at once. How could they not be angry?
And if he won, he would also be somewhat displeased. It was like being provoked by a fish on a cutting board.
However, understanding is one thing, but people still need to be realistic.
He wouldn't trouble himself for the benefit of others. Challenging one by one was too slow.
After Tang Miao arrived in the arena, many students were dismissive. In their opinion, such a weakling was simply a clown!
Of course, some people were also very unhappy. They hadn't even challenged someone in the top one hundred; why did Tang Miao, who was last, dare to?
"Wang Yan, beat him up! Let him understand what it means to know his place!"
A close friend of Wang Yan shouted loudly after Tang Miao entered the arena.
"Quiet!"
Although Sun Yuan also found it absurd, he still roared angrily, telling everyone to maintain order!
Qian Kun looked at the two and then said: "The challenge begins!"
Wang Yan looked at Tang Miao, drawing his magic while coldly saying: "Junior, you shouldn't be too…"
"Purple Heaven! Lightning Seal! Furious Strike!"
"Boom~!"
However, Wang Yan hadn't even finished speaking when Tang Miao's third-level lightning directly struck.
"Purple Heaven Lightning!"
As the lightning struck, lightning bolts descended from the sky over almost half the arena!
"Boom~!"
After the thunder ended, Wang Yan, who was struck by the two lightning bolts, was directly knocked unconscious…
More than ten seconds later, Tang Miao stood in the center of the arena and looked at Qian Kun, saying: "Teacher Qian, aren't you going to announce the challenge result?"
"Ah?"
Qian Kun was stunned, then came back to his senses and hurriedly went to Wang Yan to check on him. That strike just now was too fast… And the power was also too great. Although he knew Tang Miao could use instant star-track magic and had a domain, he never would have thought that Tang Miao's elementary magic, combined with his domain, would be even more powerful than intermediate magic?
After checking Wang Yan and finding that he was only knocked unconscious and had no fatal injuries, Qian Kun announced: "I announce that the challenger… Tang Miao wins!"
