Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 49 The main players are tired, I'm the substitute.

Dean's Office.

"You've broken through?" Dean Xiao looked at Li Xingze opposite him and asked softly.

If he wanted to probe Li Xingze's cultivation level, it would only take a moment, but such behavior would be intolerable to many people.

Therefore, Dean Xiao did not do that.

"Just lucky."

Li Xingze nodded. If it weren't for the Three-Step Tower's blessing, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Summoning system to a high level within two years.

The Three-Step Tower is also part of the resources, and resources are extremely important to mages!

"Your cultivation talent ranks among the top ten of all previous students at Mingzhu Academy, and there is no student stronger than you in the main campus now," Dean Xiao said with great admiration.

"I dare not accept such praise. Without the Star River Vein, I would still be unable to break through."

There must be many students in the main campus who are close to the threshold of the advanced level, but they are unable to break through because they do not have the Star River Vein.

Some students may have even tried to break through, but failed.

Li Xingze was able to break through to the advanced level so smoothly because he had the support of the fourth level of the Three-Step Tower and his mental power of the third realm or above.

"Ahem, let's get back to the main topic." Although Dean Xiao was quite old, he didn't want to see Li Xingze showing off like this.

"I've already read Mu Nujiao's text message and know about the exchange student program," Li Xingze said.

"Since you already know, I don't need to explain further. Judging by the time, there should still be enough time. Do you want to go or not?" Dean Xiao handed the choice to Li Xingze.

"Of course I'll go. This is a great opportunity to humiliate the Imperial Capital Academy." Li Xingze didn't hesitate at all.

In fact, the boast of destroying the Imperial Capital Academy was just for Dean Xiao's benefit; he simply didn't want Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao to be seen naked.

As expected, Dean Xiao smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"If you manage to humiliate the Imperial Academy, you'll be rewarded when you return," Dean Xiao said.

"It's a deal!"

Li Xingze desperately wanted one magical artifact from the vast treasure trove of Mingzhu Academy.

Mo Ting's Hand!

It can convert damage from other elemental attributes into lightning damage. Since Li Xingze has lightning attribute, his lightning magic resistance is naturally higher.

With this magical artifact and the Silver Scale Armor, magic below the high level is basically useless against him.

The capital's academic institutions.

"Damn it, without Li Xingze, what's the point of us fighting?"

Zhao Manyan was full of resentment; he felt like he was cannon fodder brought in by the teacher to fill the book.

"Old Zhao, can't you have a little more faith in me?" Mo Fan said irritably, hooking his arm around Zhao Manyan's shoulder.

"Sorry, you won't get a chance to play in the first match." Zhao Manyan rolled his eyes.

"Huh?" Mo Fan was stunned.

"Who told you to oversleep again?"

"I am cultivating."

"Whether you're sleeping or cultivating, stay put in the back." Teacher Gu Han, one of the team leaders, walked over and gave Mo Fan a rather unfriendly look.

Everyone else gathered early in the morning, but Mo Fan was the only one who was late, which made Gu Han, who was usually strict, feel uncomfortable with him.

After saying something to Mo Fan, Teacher Gu Han became troubled again, "Dean Xiao said that Li Xingze is on his way, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Teacher Gu Han, "Teacher Gu, is Li Xingze coming?"

"Hmm." Teacher Gu Han glanced at Zhao Manyan, then shook his head helplessly. "Who knows if it's too late now."

Upon hearing that Li Xingze was on his way, the other students exchanged glances. Regardless of whether they had any grudges against Li Xingze, his strength was undeniable.

He might be able to handle everyone at the Imperial Capital Academy all by himself.

The battle format has been determined: each side will field four players in a team battle.

The students from the Imperial Capital Academy seemed to have victory in their grasp, with several of them acting nonchalantly and even having time to tease Luo Song from the Pearl Academy.

On the other hand, Mingzhu Academy seemed a bit restless and tense. Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao, two noobs, actually had the nerve to make a fuss.

Teacher Gu Han seemed to greatly admire Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao's "showing their sword" spirit, so he arranged for them to be in the first round.

"The first team to compete is Shen Mingxiao, Luo Song, Xu Zhaoting, and Zhao Manyan."

This year's exchange students include Peng Liang from the Shadow element and Xu Zhaoting from the Lightning element.

"Damn it, teaming up with these two, we're doomed to lose," Zhao Manyan complained.

Although he didn't expect to win big, he at least didn't want to lose too badly.

"Good luck to you."

Mo Fan patted Xu Zhaoting and Zhao Manyan on the shoulders, revealing a slightly gloating expression.

Compared to Zhao Manyan's heavy thoughts, Xu Zhaoting didn't think that much; he only needed to demonstrate his strength.

"Excuse me, senior, how do I get to this fighting arena?"

"If you walk this way, then turn right and go straight for two kilometers at the intersection, you will see an ancient Roman-style building, that is the Colosseum."

"Thank you, senior."

"Junior, you must be an exchange student at another university, right? Do you need me to take you there?"

"No need to trouble you, senior."

Li Xingze decisively chose to run away; indeed, men need to protect themselves when they're out and about.

Following the direction pointed out, Li Xingze quickly arrived at the fighting arena. The arena was already closed at this time, but upon hearing that he was an exchange student from Mingzhu Academy, the guards had no choice but to open the door and lead him in.

As soon as he entered, Li Xingze saw the disappointed faces of everyone from Mingzhu Academy.

"Looks like we've lost."

Li Xingze murmured, wondering if he had lost the first match or both.

"Hey, what are you up to, sneaking around like that?"

At this moment, Lu Zhenghe from the Imperial Capital Academy saw Li Xingze enter and immediately began to threaten him.

Li Xingze glanced at this arrogant guy and said calmly, "I'm an exchange student from Pearl Academy, kind of a substitute."

"A substitute?"

Lu Zhenghe, who had initially had some reservations, immediately made no attempt to hide the sarcasm on his face after hearing these words.

"So you were just a substitute? You've come at the perfect time. We just defeated your Pearl Academy, so you can go and comfort them." Lu Zhenghe said arrogantly.

Li Xingze raised an eyebrow slightly. Having reached a high level of cultivation, he naturally wouldn't be so easily provoked by a mere mid-level mage.

Teacher Gu Han, who was worrying about the next spot, also noticed the situation. After seeing Li Xingze's appearance, he exclaimed:

"Li Xingze! You've finally arrived."

Seeing the performance of the teacher from Mingzhu Academy, Lu Zhenghe frowned. Was it really necessary to be so surprised by a substitute?

Li Xingze simply smiled and nodded.

Seeing Li Xingze come out, Gu Han was immediately filled with confidence. At least this would turn the tide!
