Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Early the next morning, Qiu Yuhua and Gu Han led the group from Mingzhu Academy to the dueling arena of the Imperial Capital Academy ahead of schedule.

The Imperial Capital University is very large, and it is significantly different from the Pearl University in that it has ancient trees reaching the sky, tree-lined paths everywhere, and buildings in an old-fashioned style, which is in stark contrast to the modern Shanghai.

The arena is also very large and impressive, with huge white pillars outside the gate, reminiscent of the grandeur of the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

The arena has a unique style and is modeled after the Roman Colosseum. It is a circular ring shape with specially designed honeycomb-like openings that make it stand tall and more visually appealing.

It was still early before the duel, and only half of the audience in the arena was seated, but many students gradually entered the audience seats.

Currently, exchange student teams from six universities have all arrived, representing the South, North, West, and East. These are all renowned universities in China, awaiting the start of the competition.

The schedule is slightly different from before. Originally, the other six universities and the Imperial University were scheduled to compete in the morning, and the competition with Mingzhu University would be in the afternoon.

It seems that because there was a lack of exciting matches, the school decided to hold a draw in the morning for the eight universities to compete against each other. The main event, the match between the Imperial Capital University and the Pearl University, will take place in the afternoon!

The next day, the other six universities will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from the universities in the capital.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that almost everyone came for the two universities in China.

The students of the Imperial Capital Academy were even more so; they didn't take other academies seriously at all and were only focused on defeating the Pearl Academy.

Sure enough, early in the morning, the tension was already palpable in their insincere small talk.

Xu Dalong and Luo Song, both known for their straightforward personalities, even started arguing.

"Luo Song, you're a smart man too. You'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix... Sigh, thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone like you would only be mediocre in the Imperial Academy. You wouldn't even be the one to fight."

Xu Dalong crossed his arms and spoke without any regard for decorum, saying whatever came to mind.

Teacher Gu Han was standing right next to him, feeling extremely uncomfortable and slightly angry.

"Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix..." So you mean you're the phoenixes and we're the chickens?

"Xu Dalong, don't be rude!"

Teacher Lu Yiming glared at Xu Dalong, scolded him, and hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

Normally, he would pretend not to hear it, but there was a "connected" person at Mingzhu Academy, so he dared not neglect him.

"Gentlemen, I apologize, Xu Dalong is a very straightforward person, please bear with him."

"Straight to the point?"

Gu Han snorted coldly, staring intently at Lu Yiming, and said in an unfriendly tone.

"So, Professor Lu Yiming actually thinks so too?"

Teacher Gu Han is aloof and has a fiery temper. As a fellow graduate of Mingzhu Academy and now a teacher at Mingzhu Academy, there is absolutely no reason for him to lower himself or be inferior just because the other party is from a prestigious academy in the capital!
"This one……"

Lu Yiming immediately realized that there was a problem with his words, gave an awkward smile, and didn't know how to explain.

Luo Song was about to say something when a hand suddenly patted his shoulder with great force.

Turning his head, he saw a handsome face; the person was none other than Mo Xie.

He stared at Xu Dalong without saying a word, and an inexplicable pressure came over him, like a lion ready to hunt.

Xu Dalong froze. For some reason, he felt a sense of fear upon seeing that look, and he even forgot to speak.

After a long while, Mo Xie patted Luo Song on the shoulder and slowly said.

"There's no need to bother with this kind of person. What's the point of arguing? We'll see who has the stronger strength in the end."

After saying that, he glanced at the students of the Imperial Capital Academy one last time, then turned and left.

As if intimidated by Mo Xie's calm tone, the people from Mingzhu Academy calmed down and, without saying anything more, turned and returned to the rest area. Everyone from the Imperial Capital Academy seemed stunned, and the scene froze for a moment. It was Lu Zhenghe who spoke first, his voice filled with anger.

"No, what does this person mean? How can they be so good at pretending!"

The only two women in the group were different; their beautiful eyes shone as they gazed longingly at Mo Xie's departing figure, murmuring something.

"so hot……"

A serious look flashed in Lu Yiming's eyes as he looked at everyone solemnly and spoke earnestly.

"Alright, the students from Pearl Academy are quite strong. Let's prepare well and defeat them this afternoon."

"understand!"

……

Before long, the arena was packed with spectators, and the academy's exchange and sparring officially began.

The captains of each academy went on stage to draw lots, and as Mo Xie appeared, screams erupted in the dueling arena like a tsunami, echoing throughout.

The girls, in particular, were screaming with even greater intensity. They were even holding light sticks and waving glow sticks, creating the impression that they were turning a friendly exchange into a concert.

After Mo Xie smiled and waved, the female students' enthusiasm immediately doubled.

"what!!!"

"Did you see that evil god smiled at me? He's so handsome!"

"Don't talk nonsense. How could my idol smile at you when you look like that? He's clearly smiling at me, okay!"

"I am so grateful to the school for allowing me to see my idol up close."

"Yeah, especially seeing the Evil Emperor's magical duel, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Do you think Mingzhu Academy, where Mo Xie is from, can win?

"I feel that the Imperial Capital University is stronger. After all, it's our school, and we can't be traitors."

"Uh... so, which side do you support?"

"I'll definitely support whichever side Mo Xie is on."

In the audience, Shao Hongying and the woman in purple sat in an inconspicuous corner of the last row, listening to the shouts around them rising higher and higher, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

"Mengyan, does Xiaoxie have that many fans?"

Zhou Mengyan rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Don't you even know your own half-apprentice? He's a big star, after all. He must have a lot of young girls who like him, okay?"

"Oh, I see. I haven't experienced it yet..."

Looking at Mo Xie, who stood confidently in the center of the dueling arena as if surrounded by a halo, Shao Hongying was momentarily dazed and remained silent.

Zhou Mengyan nudged Shao Hongying's soft waist with her elbow, pouted, and said with a smile.

"Look how crazy these young girls are, as their teacher's wife, shouldn't you do something about it?"

"Well... I'll cheer for Xiao Xie when he comes on stage."

Shao Hongying smiled, her delicate hands clenching into fists, silently cheering for Mo Xie. (End of Chapter)
