Random Treasure Chests in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 36 Main Campus Assessment

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Bai Feng still has four random treasure chests that he hasn't opened yet. Today is the day of the main campus assessment. Today, everyone from the Qing campus entered the Qing Dou Hall. Dean Xiao and some mentors are already on the stage waiting for the assessment time to arrive.

"I am very pleased because I have witnessed the growth of many people since the freshman orientation."

"I remember not long ago someone compared the main campus's assessment to a demon looming over our entire Qing Campus. It looked down on you, spurred you on, and made you constantly strive to improve for it..."

"This analogy is very apt. The Youth Campus is the final stop on your journey of youthful cultivation, and the next stop after this greenhouse is the real magical journey. No matter how much injustice or hardship you suffer, you'll have to swallow it all yourself. No one will sympathize with the weak!"

At the school-wide assembly, Dean Xiao, who had always been kind and benevolent to all students, suddenly changed his demeanor drastically.

These remarks and attitudes ultimately made many people uncomfortable, and their beloved Dean Xiao seemed to have become a devil who was indifferent to everything.

Dean Xiao then briefly explained the rules for this year's assessment at the main campus.

"All students who have not yet advanced to the intermediate-level mage are now free to leave. There is no need to participate in the main campus assessment without reaching the intermediate-level mage stage. You can only remain at the Qing Campus for three years. During these three years, you will still enjoy the resources and preferential treatment provided by the school. However, if you still cannot break through to the intermediate-level mage stage within these three years, then after leaving Mingzhu Academy, please do not consider yourselves students of Mingzhu Academy anymore!"

When Dean Xiao said this, his tone was filled with disappointment and anger, anger at those students who indulged in pleasure all day long and did not strive for improvement.

Upon hearing this, many senior students who had been at the Qing campus for a year or two began to walk away from the Qing Dou Hall, their faces filled with resentment and shame.

As the crowd gradually left, nearly 50,000 students had attended the school-wide assembly, while only a little over a thousand remained at the Qingdou Hall.

This shows just how difficult the path of a magician's cultivation is.

Those who are able to successfully enter Mingzhu Academy are all the best in their respective regions.

The scions of aristocratic families can easily cross this threshold with the resources provided by their families, while for commoners, without substantial resources, crossing this threshold is no less difficult than a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Of the more than 1000 intermediate-level mage trainees present, those from aristocratic families accounted for over 70%.

"Congratulations to those who stayed on and entered the main campus of Pearl Academy." Dean Xiao's tone changed, becoming as kind and approachable as the old professor who gave the freshman orientation.

Upon hearing these words, many mid-level mages present showed a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.

Entering the main campus without any assessment means they will miss out on the rewards for being among the top ten in the assessment.

It's important to know that the first place winner receives seven days of training in the Three-Step Tower, the second and third place winners receive a magic weapon of their choice, and the fourth to tenth place winners receive some resources.

For students from commoner backgrounds, every bit of resource reward is crucial, while the top three rewards are highly coveted even by scions of aristocratic families.

Immediately, the crowd of over a thousand students began to murmur.

"A few days ago, there were some problems with the management of Wei Fang's Beast Taming Department, which led to a Shadow Beast escaping. This Shadow Beast has been partially tamed, so there's no need to worry about it suddenly attacking people."

"Our academy was originally meant to assist Wei Fang by immediately notifying them of any trace of the Shadow Beast. But now I need you to capture this Shadow Beast alive and return it to Wei Fang. The individual or five-person team that captures it alive and delivers it to the Summoning Beast Cage will receive the Three-Step Tower reward."

After Dean Xiao finished speaking, a huge uproar ensued in the audience. Among the freshmen, no one could remain calm upon learning the bombshell news that the Three-Step Tower was the top reward, except for Bai Feng, who had already benefited from its cultivation boost.

"My idol, why don't you and Yun'er join our beautiful girl group? You and Sister Mu are incredibly talented, and with me as your strategist, you'll definitely be the best!"

Back at Jinyuan Apartment, Ai Tutu walked in and excitedly leaned close to Bai Feng, her pair of large, white breasts dazzlingly bright.

"Okay, let's add Mo Fan in too," Bai Feng said after thinking for a moment. He wanted Lingling to give them some advice. He was going to hunt down members of the Black Vatican. He remembered that Xu Zhaoting and his girlfriend had died at the hands of the Black Vatican.

"Yay! I knew you were the best, my idol!" Ai Tutu cheered happily.

"Bai Feng, do you know the habits of the Shadow Beast? Where should we look for it?" Mu Nujiao asked.

"I'll call Mo Fan. You guys go to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds. I have other things to do." Bai Feng told the three women to go to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds to ask Xiao Lingling for help.

"Ah! Brother Bai Feng, aren't you going?" Ai Tutu said dejectedly.

"Go to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds and have Yun'er ask Lingling. Lingling can locate the Shadow Beast for you. Just capture it and secretly send it to the Summoning Beast Cage. I need to help you distract them," Bai Feng lied.

"Really? Okay, let's go to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds right now!" Ai Tutu skipped and hopped, pulling Yun'er and Mu Nujiao out the door.

Seeing the three women leave, Bai Feng said to Lin Yuxin, "I'm going to hunt down the beasts of the Black Vatican. Don't go out today."

"What! Do I need to come along?" Lin Yuxin said with a hint of disgust and murderous intent.

"No need. This time it has to be done in secret. I have many abilities and can deal with those beasts without leaving a trace." After Bai Feng finished speaking, he walked out the door.

Bai Feng used the Shadow element to follow Xu Zhaoting this time. Bai Feng's Shadow element has now reached the intermediate level, so when he uses the Concealing Breath Technique and hides in the shadows, he is not detected at all.

In the evening, Bai Feng followed Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu to the outside of an abandoned factory. Xu Zhaoting told Zhang Lulu that he was going in and asked her to wait outside while he went in to investigate.

"Alright, stop arguing. You haven't been here today. Go on, I've already notified the court." Bai Feng appeared in front of Xu Zhaoting and said.

"Bai, Bai Feng, it's me. Inside are people from the Black Vatican. I'll never forget the smell they had," Xu Zhaoting said, his eyes red.

"Alright, I understand. You stay here and watch. Going in is suicide. Remember, you're not alone anymore. It's not too late to seek revenge when you're stronger, understand?" Bai Feng said seriously, looking into Xu Zhaoting's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaoting looked at his girlfriend, Zhang Lulu, and was stunned by her concerned expression and anxious demeanor.

"Thank you, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future," Xu Zhaoting said, bowing his head.

"Alright, I still need to lure out the mastermind behind this. You can watch from here, but don't cause any trouble," Bai Feng said, looking at Xu Zhaoting's tightly clenched hand.

"Okay, I understand. I won't interfere with your plans."
