I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 88, Twin Blossoms

After the Dimensional Academy Conference ended, Jiang Shang hurriedly left the venue.

After his arrogant speech, the classroom was filled with tension.

Fortunately, Jiang Shang is still ranked last, so he can challenge others, but no one can challenge him.

Otherwise, he would definitely be stuck at the entrance of the Great Hall of the People and unable to move.

After Jiang Shang and the three directors left, the remaining students erupted in chaos.

The students with lower rankings were all furious, wishing they could tear Jiang Shang apart with their bare hands.

"This guy is so condescending! I'll make sure he can't even get past me, who's second to last!" a man said angrily.

"Why don't you just give up?" a boy next to him said.

"Why did you let it go!"

"You don't even have a contracted beast, how are you going to fight him?"

Upon hearing this stark truth, the second-to-last person seemed struck by lightning and slumped down in despair. Coming from a commoner background, he had no money to buy a contracted beast. Now, he was just hoping that his newly awakened fire element would reach the mid-level and turn his life around.

However, after Jiang Shang left, those scions of noble families began to reflect on why they hadn't done the same thing as him. All their previous showmanship paled in comparison to this domineering declaration!

This is far superior to the battles for supremacy and the ultimate showdown.

Everyone knows the terrifying prestige of the top ten in the Dimensional Academy; facing them is like facing a single general-level demon.

A student who had just arrived at the main campus shamelessly claimed that he would be in the top ten within a month.

This incident caused a huge uproar on the school forum.

Even students from major colleges like the Fire Academy and Thunder Academy have started to pay attention to this matter.

In their view, Jiang Shang was a player who was very good at showing off, and he made a big splash as soon as he entered the main campus.

His statement that if he didn't make it into the top ten, he would be sent back to the Qingdao campus, added even more weight to the bet.

Soon, Jiang Shang's schedule at the Qing campus was pieced together by mischievous students.

Everyone saw that Jiang Shang had only been enrolled for half a year before entering the main campus.

Everyone is speculating whether he is the illegitimate son of a school leader.

After all, everyone at Mingzhu Academy behaves very well, and any occasional showmanship is something we all do willingly.

Moreover, the main campus is not like the Green Campus. The Green Campus is full of recent graduates who have just come up from magic high school. Their strength is generally around the middle level, and even those with family backgrounds will not easily reveal it.

Upon arriving at the main campus, everyone is a mid-level mage, holding a certain status in society and representing different factions and forces to some extent. There are many with outstanding talent, powerful backgrounds, and astonishing strength.

The rules at the main campus are also very simple: as long as you haven't broken through to the level of a high-level mage, you can continue your studies at the school.

This means that the main campus below the higher levels has all sorts of weirdos!

While the online forum was still buzzing with discussion, Jiang Shang was diligently cultivating in his own little corner of the internet.

He had anticipated things would develop this way, so he wasn't flustered.

But just as he was preparing to continue his cultivation, Dean Xiao called and asked him to come to the dean's office today.

"This matter has alarmed this person? Oh well, I'll have to go sooner or later anyway, so going now is no different," Jiang Shang muttered.

………………

Pushing open the door to the dean's office, I found only Dean Xiao sitting there. Even the student council member I usually saw was nowhere to be seen today.

Only the dean sat in his office with a furrowed brow.

Seeing Jiang Shang try to find a place to sit as soon as he entered the office, Dean Xiao said in an annoyed tone:

"You can just stand there, kid. Don't sit down. My little office can't hold a genius like you."

Upon hearing Dean Xiao's words, Jiang Shang thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

He could only stand obediently in front of the table and say, "Dean Xiao, don't you know my capabilities? Since I dared to make such a bold claim, I'm definitely confident I can accomplish this. Otherwise, wouldn't that be a slap in your face?"

"Really?" Dean Xiao asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course it's true. I never do anything I'm not sure I can do," Jiang Shang said.

Upon hearing this, Dean Xiao's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Just as Jiang Shang said, if the people Dean Xiao sent to the main campus returned to the Qing campus in disgrace after the first month because of their arrogance and conceit.

While this incident will not shake his position, it will inevitably erode his authority.

People gossip behind Dean Xiao's back about him abusing his power, and so on.

This led to Dean Xiao speaking with Jiang Shang.

"You're ranked last this month. Even if you're really strong enough to beat Yang Ju, who's ranked tenth, how are you going to deal with the people ahead of him? They could easily deplete all the magic energy in both of your systems if they attacked one by one," Dean Xiao reminded the composed Jiang Shang.

After hearing Dean Xiao's words, Jiang Shang fell silent.

It wasn't that he wasn't confident he could win, but rather that he didn't know how to explain his physical condition.

Once a mage reaches the Super Rank in the game, they have many ways to fight demons in close combat like a warrior.

Examples include curse possession techniques and black dragon artifacts.

However, these are all either the true secrets of large families or extremely expensive to produce, so they will not be widely disseminated.

Now I need to demonstrate a physique comparable to that of demons, and it would be best to have a reason, a reason that everyone can accept.

The first thing to do is to use this argument to persuade Dean Xiao.

If my memory serves me correctly, Dean Xiao's character is trustworthy among the characters who have appeared.

Moreover, his identity as a forbidden spellcaster served as a perfect backer for him.

Having figured this out, Jiang Shang looked up at Dean Xiao and said softly, "Dean, are you aware of my talent?"

Dean Xiao was somewhat surprised. Why did you suddenly bring this up?

"Isn't your talent similar to a space radar ability?"

"That description isn't just apt; to be precise, I have a twin talent!"

"Twin talents?"

"Yes, I have two talents: one is a natural lightning-type soul seed, and the other is twin flowers blooming together," Jiang Shang said.

Upon hearing this, Dean Xiao couldn't sit still any longer. One being born with a soul seed was already terrifying enough, but the other being twins was something he had never even heard of.

He quickly stood up and asked Jiang Shang to explain in detail.

"As you know, the twin blossoms have caused a slight mutation in my spatial magic, which has revealed traces of sound-based magic."

"I imagine you'll be curious about what strange abilities my other magic branch might possess after hearing that?"

"I can tell you very clearly, there's nothing there!"

"There's nothing there?" Dean Xiao asked, puzzled.

"Yes, that relates to my other innate talent—my innate soul seed. You know, this talent means that the mage will be a favorite of the corresponding elemental magic system. They can easily gain the favor of the elements that others have to cultivate for a long time to obtain." Jiang Shang nodded and continued, "Lightning magic has always been known for its domineering nature, and my soul seed is no exception. It directly and domineeringly dissolved my twin lightning abilities, which led me to believe at first that I only had one talent. It wasn't until recently that I understood the problem."

"If it's a Soul Seed, then that makes sense. Historically, people with this kind of talent have always been extremely powerful, and it can even affect the awakening of their own magic system, causing them to only have one magic system in their entire lives," Dean Xiao said gently.

Seeing that Dean Xiao had begun to agree with his earlier statement, Jiang Shang pressed his advantage and dropped another bombshell!

"That's right, and my confidence in challenging the scions of summoning families also comes from this soul seed."

"Oh," Dean Xiao raised an eyebrow, signaling Jiang Shang to continue.

"My soul seed has an ability called 'Thunder Tempering Body'! As the name suggests, this ability allows my body to approach the body of a demon under the tempering of thunder."

"I tested it when I was on a mission with Captain Lang last time. My physical strength is comparable to that of a warrior-level demon. I beat the Dust Storm Giant Lizard to death with my bare hands without using any magic!"

"What!" Dean Xiao exclaimed in surprise as he stood up.

He didn't even notice the chair that had collapsed due to the excessive movement; he went straight around the table, came to Jiang Shang's side, and picked up a hand to examine it carefully.

Sometimes you pinch it, sometimes you bend it.

Like a doctor with many years of experience, he carefully examined Jiang Shang's physical strength.

Even the pupils beneath his thick eye sockets began to gleam with a silvery light.

Jiang Shang didn't say anything more, but patiently cooperated with Dean Xiao's examination.

For him, this was not just an inspection between teachers and students, but also a quarantine certificate.

With Dean Xiao's approval, I can now openly use my physical strength to fight demons!

After examining him for a full ten minutes, Dean Xiao stood up in surprise.

"Just as you said, his physical strength is very high."
