Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 198 School Recommendation
Ding Yumian raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said with deep emotion: "I don't know how many people have racked their brains to figure out what kind of extraordinary ability you have at your age, not only to reach the level of a master hunter, but also to successfully hunt down a leader-level demon. I can really feel that there is surging elemental energy surging around you, and your calm and composed state of mind when encountering things is even more admirable..."

The strength and style of doing things demonstrated by Lin Lan are truly difficult to comprehend.

His outstanding strength alone is already astonishing enough, but his state of mind that far exceeds that of ordinary people is even more beyond the reach of others.

If other magicians in the Pearl Academy had hunted down a leader, they would probably want to announce the fact to the world, and would even walk with drums and gongs to publicize it; if other students defeated all the masters in the academy in one fell swoop, they would definitely become arrogant and insolent.

However, Lin Lan is completely different from them. Whenever he talks about these heroic deeds in the eyes of others, he always looks nonchalant, as if those things are just daily trivialities.

Take the fact that he defeated all the masters of Leiyuan for example. He simply treated his friends to a meal under the pretext of a dinner party and then downplayed the matter as if it was really just an ordinary and trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.

"It's just good luck, and I was able to accomplish all these things thanks to everyone's help. It's really nothing." Lin Lan responded modestly, his words showing his low profile.

Lin Lan would occasionally feel the urge to show off a little, but he knew very well that if he didn't grasp the right balance, trouble would probably ensue.

Apart from anything else, Black Ting would definitely not let him go easily, and the Court of Dissenters might even come to impose sanctions on him. Just like Qin Yuer, who encountered an unexpected incident at the World Academy Competition just because her performance was too dazzling.

Thinking of this, Lin Lan pondered to himself that whether or not to participate in the World University Competition did not seem to be a set decision.

Although the resources provided by the competition are extremely attractive and are of great help in improving strength, there are also many valuable opportunities to improve strength in other places.

Take Mu Bai for example. He practiced alone and was the first one to successfully enter the super-level ranks in the original novel.

It seems that we really need to carefully weigh whether it is necessary to participate in the World University Competition.

"You are more humble than I thought." Ding Yumian couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's not that I'm being modest, it's really just luck." Lin Lan responded with a gentle smile on his face.

"You are collecting information about monsters in the Liubo Mountain area of the East China Sea. Are you planning to go there to hunt monsters? The monsters there are much stronger than those on land." Ding Yumian frowned slightly and continued.

Ding Yumian knew very well how powerful the monsters in the East China Sea were. She was really worried that Lin Lan would be in danger because of the information she provided, so she couldn't help but ask with concern.

If Lin Lan really intends to go there, he must think carefully and act with caution. After all, an ordinary sea monster is difficult enough to deal with, not to mention that there are many powerful and terrifying monsters living in that area.

"I'm going there to look for something, and we have a super-class wizard in our team, so the monsters in the East China Sea are no problem." Lin Lan saw through Ding Yumian's worries at a glance and said frankly with a calm expression.

Hearing this, Ding Yumian's worries immediately dissipated like smoke.

With the strong strength of Lei Hanhai and Lei Hao, they can indeed add a lot of powerful guarantees to this operation.

Lin Lan went to the East China Sea to look for Kuiniu. He probably had to wait until his ice element broke through to a high level.

By then, Lin Lan, who possesses the ability to demonize, will surely be able to fight against a terrifying demon at the supreme monarch level.

Ding Yumian said no more, but looked at Lin Lan with a more complicated look. After all, for other family members, if they could have a high-level magician to help them when they went out to hunt monsters, it would be a blessing they could never ask for...

"It's so boring staying here. Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner." Lin Lan suggested enthusiastically with a sincere smile on her face.

"No, I'll be back soon." Ding Yumian declined politely.

"You have to eat when you go back, so it makes no difference if I treat you. Besides, I have to thank you very much for helping me organize and compile these data." Lin Lan insisted, with sincerity in his eyes.

……

After dinner, Lin Lan returned to school again, not for anything else, but because Dean Xiao summoned him again.

It just so happened that the topic of discussion this time was about the World University Competition. When Lin Lan heard it, he instantly became interested. He completely ignored the little fans who surrounded him like a tide, and he started running and accelerated, rushing towards the dean's office like an arrow from a bow.

When he came here again, he pushed the door open as usual. However, this time, there was no one else in the office. I guess Dean Xiao had reserved enough time for this conversation. Dean Xiao stood facing the library with his hands behind his back, looking mysterious.

"President Xiao, I'm here." Lin Lan said respectfully.

To be honest, every time Lin Lan saw Dean Xiao, she would involuntarily feel a little nervous.

This sense of tension is also quietly changing with the passage of time and the gradual increase of one's own strength.

You know, Dean Xiao is a terrifying forbidden spell mage. His casual attack is as powerful as a nuclear bomb. If he attacks with all his strength, he can raze a big city like Tokyo to the ground in a few minutes...

Lin Lan clearly remembered that when he was just a fledgling mid-level wizard, he was shocked and moved when he first met a forbidden spell master like Dean Xiao.

Now that time has passed and I have gone through many hardships, I feel a deeper gratitude towards President Xiao, and this gratitude is filled with endless respect for him, like a surging river.

"Lin Lan is here, please sit down." Dean Xiao had a kind smile on his face and his eyes were full of relief.

Dean Xiao couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he thought about the fact that a mage with outstanding strength and unlimited potential like Lin Lan would participate in the World Academy Competition.

With Lin Lan's current strength, if he were to participate in the competition, he might be able to defeat the mages from other countries and make them lose confidence and doubt their lives...

After Lin Lan sat down, Dean Xiao continued, "I've heard about your life in Leiyuan. I didn't expect that once you arrived at Leiyuan, you would cause a complete overhaul of the Lei Ranking and the Test Ranking. Fortunately, nothing happened to you, that's good."

"I don't want this to happen either, Dean Xiao. I'll be targeted as soon as I get there. No one can tolerate this." Lin Lan said helplessly.

In fact, Lin Lan didn't intend to teach all those people a lesson. He thought he had been low-key enough. It didn't mean that all the people in Lei Academy were useless.

But he had no choice since he was being targeted. As for taking their resources, Lin Lan felt that this was also out of a special "humanitarian" consideration.

Well, it is indeed very "humane"...

"In today's environment, competition is indeed extremely cruel, and it is normal for these things to happen. However, what you did this time broke the norm and has produced some impact. But don't worry, the school has stepped forward to settle the matter for you." Dean Xiao said slowly.

In fact, the impact this time was not particularly great. Lin Lan's actions were reasonable, so the school successfully resolved the disturbances caused by jealousy of Lin Lan monopolizing the richest resources in Leiyuan...

"Thank you so much, President Xiao." Lin Lan said gratefully.

"In the next period of time, you should stop showing off your talents. Calm down and concentrate on your training in the academy. When the time is right, the school will directly nominate you to the national team. I hope you can have an outstanding performance in this World Academy Competition. The main reason I called you here this time is for this matter." Dean Xiao said earnestly.

To put it simply, the World Academy Competition is a peak showdown that brings together the world's top universities and a fierce competition between the best young mages from various countries.

The resources provided by the competition are extremely rich, and the rewards are generous and attractive. Moreover, once you achieve excellent results in the competition, the reputation you gain will have a decisive influence!

"I don't think I've done anything particularly outstanding. I really can't bear the responsibility of being directly recommended by the school, Dean Xiao. And according to convention, don't I have to participate in the nomination competition first?" Lin Lan said humbly.

"With your strength, there is no need for you to participate in those so-called nomination competitions. If you participate, you can easily win by just going through the motions. Here, this is for you." Dean Xiao said, and took out a transparent stone the size of a glass bead from his arms.

"This is a small piece of mind stone. Although it is small, it can give you great help in cultivating your mental power."

Seeing this, Lin Lan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Wow!"

At this moment, he felt that the World University Competition seemed to be something he had to attend.

Dean Xiao is indeed wealthy and powerful, he can even get extremely scarce and precious resources like Nian Shi.

Although this stone is a bit small in size, its value is really outrageous!
