Random Treasure Chests in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 54 Pearl Academy Challenge

While everyone was still in shock, their bodies suddenly sank, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads. It turned out that a sub-monarch level fire person had appeared, but this fire person looked like a woman.

"Warning!" Zhao Manyan's uncle's eyes narrowed when he saw the Flame Witch, and his heart pounded wildly. Damn it, this is a monarch-level demon.

Bai Feng noticed that the Shadow Demon within his shadow was acting violently, but he managed to calm it down. Before the Fire Calamity Fruit was stolen, this Flame Witch was quite friendly to outsiders.

"Yu Mian, use your mind-based abilities to build a mental bridge with this Flame Witch and communicate with her first," Bai Feng whispered to Ding Yu Mian.

Ding Yumin initially felt something was strange, but she listened to Bai Feng's advice and established a telepathic connection with the Flame Witch without anyone noticing.

The Flame Witch was initially surprised, looking at the people in front of her with a strange expression, before finally fixing her gaze on Ding Yumin.

Ding Yumin's eyes widened more and more as she communicated with the Flame Witch. Bai Feng raised an eyebrow at Ding Yumin's astonishment. What was this girl communicating with the Flame Witch about? Look at those big, watery eyes, they're almost bulging out of their sockets.

After Ding Yumin finished speaking with the Flame Witch, she looked at Bai Feng, opened her mouth as if to say something but couldn't. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "She said her name is Jiang Feng. She was swallowed up by the Heavenly Tribulation Flame here before, but she didn't die. Instead, she was fed a fruit by the deceased Old Flame Princess and became like this. Afterwards, to repay the Old Flame Princess's life-saving grace, she has been guarding this place ever since the Old Flame Princess died."

Bai Feng was about to say something after hearing this when he saw Chen Ying walk towards the Flame Witch, who was holding a cold iron spike in her hand behind her back.

Bai Feng wondered if it was just his imagination, but he saw a kind and doting expression on the face of the Flame Witch. The flames on the path Chen Ying walked by dissipated, and the flames on the Flame Witch's body also subsided.

Bai Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully as the two drew closer. Then, another shadow separated from Bai Feng's shadow and darted directly into Chen Ying's shadow.

Bai Feng planned to snatch the iron spike when Chen Ying backstabbed him later, and then things would get interesting.

As Bai Feng had predicted, Chen Ying suddenly took the "weapon" and stabbed it into the Flame Witch's abdomen.

Just as everyone was filled with fear, and just as the joy and greed in the white-clothed man's eyes were about to overflow, an octopus leg suddenly emerged from the shadow beneath Chen Ying's feet, grabbed the cold iron spike, and pulled it back into the shadow.

The crowd froze in fear, while the man in white broke down completely.

"Chen Ying! What are you doing? How come you didn't hurt it?!" The white-clothed man's voice was sharp and hoarse as he roared out.

Everyone looked angrily at the white-clothed man's words. "You fucking sent Chen Ying to attack a sub-monarch level demon, you fucking idiot!"

The Flame Witch is a human in disguise, so can she understand the words shouted by the White Cloth Man? It was because the White Cloth Man actually instigated his daughter to harm him that she suddenly erupted.

"Ring!!! Ring!!!"

The Flame Witch pushed Chen Ying behind her, and then her crimson flames surged. Combined with her monarch-level aura, she who had just looked like a gentle older sister was now an enraged flame general.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Bai Feng immediately pulled everyone back.

The Flame Witch floated in the air, gathering the free-floating flame energy in her hands and directly converging it into a giant fireball. She pushed the fireball towards the Zhao family's team, and it fell rapidly from the sky, looking like a meteorite crashing down.

The mages from the Zhao family were nearly scared out of their wits, wishing they had more legs to run away as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Uncle Zhao Manyan pulled out his shield magic item and armor magic item, and used all his earth magic. Even a casual attack from the sub-monarch demon was not so easy to withstand.

Bai Feng quickly retreated back into the passage, and then Zhang Xiaohou blocked it with earth magic. Everyone was nervously sensing the movement above them when suddenly they heard a loud shout: "Who are you? Why are you blocking the exit!"

Bai Feng had already noticed the people coming from the mountain path, while the others shuddered and turned around to see the leader, who was exceptionally tall with a cold and handsome face. She had a rare, delicate aquiline nose, paired with bright, narrow single-eyelid eyes. Her high breasts were not much less impressive than Tang Yue's. Her calves were slender and long, while her thighs were very full. Those long legs were enough to keep one entertained for years.

Dressed in a proper military mage outfit, she possessed a unique androgynous beauty, and the female military mage, who appeared to be around twenty years old, was the leader of this military mage squad.

"Damn! You scared me to death! You walk so quietly, what are you doing blocking the way? Didn't you hear anything coming from up there? There's a sub-monarch level fire witch up there, you try going up there yourself." Zhao Manyan didn't see the female officer's face, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken like that, and might have just gone up to her.

Just as the military mages were about to unleash their attacks, they saw the female leader's outstretched hand. After hearing what Zhao Manyan said, the female leader understood why everyone was still there. She didn't say anything more; she wouldn't trust these mages of unknown origin. She would go up and check it out herself later.

After a short while, everyone heard that there was no more movement on the mountaintop. Then, they asked Zhang Xiaohou to remove the earth magic and slowly walked up. Mo Fan first stuck his head out and saw that the Zhao family members were already lying down. Chen Ying, who was behind the Flame Witch, was stunned and then climbed up.

Because Mo Fan saw that none of the Zhao family's team members had died, only suffered serious injuries, while Chen Ying was unharmed, Mo Fan concluded that the Flame Witch did not harbor any ill intentions towards humans.

Bai Feng walked over and looked at the current situation. Then he gave Ding Yumin a wink. Ding Yumin nodded, and then she used the power of the Mind-Mind Fruit to connect the minds of everyone present.

Everyone felt their hearts connect with others, and they hurriedly looked around, realizing that something was wrong with their own hearts and could not be careless.

Bai Feng felt his heart had connected with the other person, and nodded to Ding Yumin to indicate that her performance could begin.

Seeing Bai Feng's gesture, Ding Yumin slowly spoke, "Flame Witch, were you human before? Or rather, were you human before you died?"

It's not that you shouldn't tell these people everything directly, but you need to convince them of the evidence you're giving. If you come up and say that the person you've lived with for over ten years isn't your mother, who would believe you?

"I, I, you're right," the Flame Witch replied.

Everyone looked at the Flame Witch with shock and astonishment. No wonder this ruler of the North Corner of the Scorching Plains was so close to humans and often healed them.

The Flame Witch also realized that others seemed to be able to understand the words she spoke.

"You must be Jiang Feng, Chen Ying's mother." Ding Yumin's words shocked everyone even more.

"I, I am Jiang Feng, and Chen Ying is indeed my daughter." The Flame Witch landed in front of Chen Ying, her face covered in flames, and she seemed to be smiling kindly.

Even Zhao Manyan's uncle was now deeply suspicious. "Is this for real? Letting someone with no background live in my house for over ten years? What a load of crap!"

"No! It's a demon! You actually colluded with a demon to frame me! They're trying to frame me!" The white-clothed man roared, unleashing a mental attack on Ding Yumin.

"You're courting death!" Bai Feng's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he hurled a lightning seal at her. The mental impact didn't even cause a ripple in Ding Yumin's mind. Laughable, you're just an ordinary mental mage, yet you dare to attack a mental victim.

"Ah!!" The white-clothed man screamed in agony as he was struck by Bai Feng's lightning magic, and he collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

"Oh, Chenying, your mother has a mind-based magic? And it's a high-level mind-based magic!" Bai Feng looked at Chenying, who was standing there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the mind-based magic her "mother" had just used.

"Um, I, I heard from people in the family that Auntie's magic types seem to be fire, wind, and space." Zhao Manyan stepped forward at this moment to provide the final evidence.

"It's you, you ghost woman! You're a ghost woman!" the female officer suddenly stepped forward and pointed at her.

"What?! It's that ghost woman who's been wanted in Dunhuang for over a decade?!" A commotion broke out among the military mages behind them. This ghost woman had been wanted in Dunhuang for over a decade; she was, in a sense, the greatest disgrace in the history of the Western Military Region.

The female officer, accompanied by two military mages, immediately stepped forward, sealed the ghost woman with magic, and imprisoned her. The female officer then approached Ding Yumin, saluted, and solemnly said:

"Thank you for revealing the identity of this wanted criminal. He can come with us to collect the reward money once we return to the city."

Ding Yumin smiled gently, then turned her head to Bai Feng, who gave her a reassuring look.

The female officer rested for a short while before approaching Ding Yumin and saying, "My name is Nan Jue, from the Western Military Region Academy. Thank you for providing evidence of the ghost woman. We are about to return."

The others couldn't just stand by and do nothing about the people Zhao Manyan's family was raising, so they had no choice but to go forward, feed them healing potions, and bandage their wounds.

Just as everyone was about to leave, the Flame Witch Jiang Feng called Mo Fan aside, picked up the Heavenly Tribulation Fruit, and condensed pure life force into the fruit. Soon the fruit began to shake, as if something inside was about to break out of its shell.

Not long after, cracks began to appear on the surface of the fruit. Just then, a fragment of the fruit bounced up and a tiny arm emerged, only the length of a finger. The little hand then began to tap the fruit's outer shell. After the shell shattered completely, a small and exquisite doll appeared, looking just like a little elf.

After her petite figure appeared before everyone, she flew around the Flame Witch and soon landed on the fruit fragments, picking them up and crunching them up.

After Little Flame Princess finished eating, she fell asleep in the hands of the Flame Witch. The Flame Witch looked at Little Flame Princess with reluctance and affection, and then handed her to Mo Fan.

"I hope you can take good care of it. It's the last Flame Princess here." The Flame Witch watched as Mo Fan placed the intermediate-level contract on the Flame Princess's little head. The Flame Princess didn't resist; she just turned over and continued sleeping.

When everyone finally saw that Mo Fan had successfully formed a contract with Yan Ji, their eyes were filled with envy as they looked at him.

Jinyuan Apartment, Shanghai.

Bai Feng returned to Shanghai yesterday and slept all day in his room. After waking up, he immediately ate the dinner that Lin Yuxin had prepared.

That night, all the girlfriends returned to the apartment. Bai Feng slept all day and couldn't sleep at night, so he had to go to each room one by one.

The sun rose in the evening amidst cheerful sounds.

Bai Feng arrived at Mingzhu Academy because the National Server Challenge was coming up. Mingzhu Academy had a total of ten votes for the National Server Challenge, and only the top ten from the main campus could each get one vote.

Bai Feng came to the dueling arena in the morning to draw lots, and then participated in the magic duel in the afternoon. In the afternoon, Bai Feng came to the arena to watch the magic duel of other teams. The magic duel was four against four, and the lots were drawn randomly. No one knew who their teammates were. Only after the arena was drawn could they find out who their teammates were. This also prevented the scions of noble families from crowding together.

In the afternoon, Bai Feng went to the viewing area inside the arena, where Ding Yumin was. Bai Feng sat down next to Ding Yumin and watched the duel inside.

Before long, it was Bai Feng's turn to face off. Bai Feng's three teammates were already waiting for the last person offstage. Seeing their tense and anxious expressions, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief when Bai Feng came to their side. How could they fight if one of them was missing?

After the four entered the arena, they bowed to each other. When the referee shouted for the duel to begin, Bai Feng immediately summoned Bing'er. Bing'er was now at the advanced stage of the Battle General level, but she was more than capable of dealing with these mid-level Perfection level opponents.

As expected, the ice-type spirit easily sent the four people opposite off the stage, reminding them of the ruthless person deep in everyone's memories.

"Holy crap! I remember this contracted beast belongs to Bai Feng, the one who defeated the Imperial Capital Academy. Does that mean this one is him?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember now. He's a real stunner!"

"Yes, maybe this person will get a vote."

"What do you know? He already has two national team votes."

"What? Where did he get those two national team votes? Wasn't he supposed to have no connections?"

"Who knows? But it'll be interesting when those last few get together."

Next, Bai Feng summoned the Cloud Dream Beast to fight, so no one dared to go on stage to fight Bai Feng. This way, he could safely enter the top ten. In addition, he could also get a vote in the upcoming disaster in the ancient capital, which would directly determine his fate.

Just as Bai Feng had expected, when the commander-level summoned beast stood on the stage, not only did the legs of the person opposite him go weak, but the legs of the three people on his side also went weak.

During the duel, Ai Tutu, just like in the original story, took Mo Fan's place. However, Ai Tutu once again let her teammates down. Coincidentally, there was a young man from a powerful family in the team, who happened to be Ai Tutu's blind date. This young man, named Gu Jian, verbally abused Ai Tutu, making her cry. Mo Fan and Bai Feng happened to be watching Ai Tutu's duel together. When they saw Ai Tutu crying, the two went up to the stage together. Gu Jian didn't recognize Mo Fan, but he recognized Bai Feng. This guy was a high-level mage, definitely a top-ranked player in the national server, someone not to be trifled with.

Bai Feng hid on the ground comforting Ai Tutu, while Mo Fan and Gu Jian started arguing.

Just then, a tall, strong young man with a dark face and a buzz cut walked onto the stage. This young man possessed a resolute and tough temperament.

Gu Jian became somewhat intimidated upon seeing the young man, who then said, "I apologize for what my sister did. As for the ballot you lost, my father has another one; consider that as compensation."

Gu Jian was overjoyed to hear that the dark-faced young man had come to apologize for his sister and had even received a vote.

"However, however, you shouldn't have cursed my sister so rudely!" With that, the dark-faced youth used his spatial power to grab Gu Jian and slam him to the ground.

Rumble!!!

Gu Jian was already seriously injured when he was pinned to the ground, covered in blood, and looked extremely pitiful.

"All the men of my Ai family are in Anjie, the city of the Great Wall Guardians. Only my sister is the apple of our eye. We always dote on her. What right do you have to insult the Ai family!" The dark-faced youth could no longer hide his anger.
