Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 71 I Didn't Work for Nothing

"This is definitely beneficial for you; the rewards for exchange student activities are very generous..."

Russell quickly chimed in, but seeing the cultivation artifact hanging around Wang Teng's neck, he lost confidence.

How long will this exchange student program last?

"If it takes too long, it will affect my dominance on the leaderboard. I desperately need the chance to reach the Three-Step Tower..."

Wang Teng bluntly stated that he didn't care about the reward; there was no benefit in winning it for him, so why bother with a little empty fame?

"What kind of attitude is that? We selected you after careful consideration. As a student of Pearl Academy, don't you feel honored to bring glory to the school?"

"Why do you keep talking about resources and opportunities..."

Wei Ming was immediately dissatisfied. This student had absolutely no sense of dedication and did not put the honor of the academy first.

selfishness!

Wang Teng smiled but didn't say anything. It was obvious that the two of them had completely different ideas. He was sitting there talking about dedication after he had eaten his fill, while I hadn't even started eating yet.

After I've eaten my fill, I'll try to learn his talk about selfless dedication.

"Alright, Lao Wei."

"What Wang Teng said makes sense. After all, he has the ability. The philosophy of Pearl Academy is competition, and that will never change!"

"The exchange program will last for more than three months. It starts with a competition between several universities, followed by training sessions."

"I'm giving you a chance to participate in the Three-Step Tower competition as a reward for this event. Of course, there are requirements: you must ensure that your team wins first place."

"If you fail, the reward will be cancelled. After all, you can't dominate the leaderboard without the strength."

"How is it?"

Dean Xiao remained calm and composed, and the reasons he gave were well-founded.

"Of course, it is my honor to bring glory to the university as a student of Mingzhu Academy."

Wang Teng was already quite satisfied. Although he earned slightly less than if he had topped the rankings, Dean Xiao had given him a way out, so he naturally couldn't hold back any longer.

However, that doesn't stop him from getting annoyed by Wei Ming.

Wei Ming's eyes widened instantly, and anger seemed to be rising on his face, but the matter had already been decided, and it wouldn't be good for him to jump out now.

"Alright, alright... that's settled then. Director Wei and Teacher Luo will lead the team this time. Thank you for your hard work and for making this exchange meeting a success."

Dean Xiao gave Wang Teng a look that told him to stop, and quickly assigned him a task.

Wang Teng then followed the two to the training hall on the main campus, where a team was already waiting.

He recognized three of them: Qian Fu and Li Xiaowei, both from the summoning system; he didn't know the other five.

"Wang Teng, come back to the team."

Wei Ming stood in front of the group, and his energy began to surge again.

Russell followed silently behind Wei Ming, his face stern as he scanned the group of people in front of him.

Wang Teng stood at the side of the line, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

"I believe you are all outstanding freshmen, and you know what you will face next. This exchange program is being held at our university."

"I don't want any accidents to happen!"

After Wei Ming finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Wang Teng, and everyone's eyes followed. Their eyes were full of doubt, but they saw that Wang Teng was looking straight ahead and completely ignoring them.

"Wang Teng is the captain of this exchange meeting. If any of you disagree, you are welcome to challenge him. If you win, you will be the captain."

"You can challenge me anytime, and Mr. Luo and I will be the referees!"

Wei Ming's words had a rather encouraging tone.

"Director, I want to take on the challenge!"

A young man dressed in fine clothes in the group raised his hand.

"Bai Hao, right~"

"Very good, Wang Teng and Bai Hao, you two step forward!"

"Teacher Luo, you are the referee on the field."

Wei Ming glanced at the information and immediately arranged the competition with great joy.

A group of people gathered around the arena.

"This guy's got something wrong with his head. Doesn't he know Wang Teng is a psychic?"

Qian Fu asked doubtfully, "It's common knowledge that Wang Teng possesses mind magic. Who can fight a mind magic user in a one-on-one fight?"

"We should be prepared."

Li Xiaowei's uncertain response was understandable, given that he was from a prominent family in Shanghai, and it was normal for them to have some good stuff.

"Psychic-type abilities are indeed rare and powerful, but they are not invincible."

"You've been hyped up like a god just because of a freshman competition. Today, I'll tear off your facade!"

Bai Hao was excited, never expecting such a challenge opportunity, especially since he happened to be carrying a magical artifact that could resist mind-based attacks.

This is like a windfall. Once he defeats Wang Teng, the other party's myth will be shattered, and he will be able to become a god by stepping on the other party.

"Both sides are ready, the match begins!" Russell, acting as the referee, announced the start of the match.

"Thunderbolt! Crash!"

Bai Hao immediately connected to the star map. He knew that if he attacked with a mind-based attack, he couldn't let the opponent react in time. He wanted to shatter the opponent's self-esteem in one blow.

"That's so slow~"

Wang Teng had already activated his mind-based magic, but it was done casually. Then he saw Bai Hao's earrings shining brightly, clearly a magical artifact used to resist mind-based magic.

If he used more force, he could probably overload and destroy that thing immediately.

However, he decided to try a different approach. Since the other party was so confident, he would have some fun with him.

He needs to let others know that he has other magic types besides mental magic, so that they can't always focus their attention on his mental abilities.

Boom! Boom!

Wang Teng's gaze was calm, his left hand in his pocket, his right hand raised, as if he didn't care at all about the thunderbolts overhead.

"barrier!"

An invisible, transparent barrier instantly appeared, steadily catching the descending mid-level lightning magic.

"Your lightning element hasn't even been imbued with a spirit seed yet? Is this all the power you've got? You think you can even show it off?"

Wang Teng was bathed in lightning, the barrier above his head seemed to isolate him from the world. After the thunderbolt crashed and shattered, arcs of electricity, like rain, cascaded down.

Russell's body trembled slightly as he looked at Wang Teng with shining eyes. Only those who were also space-types could understand what profound meaning was hidden in that simple barrier.

"How is that possible?"

"How could you possibly block it with a basic-level spell?"

"There aren't even star trails!"

Bai Hao shouted loudly, pointed at Wang Teng, and showed an incredulous expression, looking like he was questioning the meaning of life.

But when his gaze turned to referee Russell and director Wei Ming on the field, all he received in response was silence.

"Monster..." Qian Fu opened his mouth and kept muttering to himself. Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, he knew that using a low-level magic to directly withstand a mid-level lightning magic known for its attack power was quite magical.

The other onlookers had the same expression. Wang Teng's only move was in the freshman competition, and that time he became a legend.

This time, the opponent didn't use mind magic, but it was even more shocking than before, allowing them to directly experience Wang Teng's casual use of magic.

"How boring~ I thought you'd have something special to offer, but all you did was watch me catch a headbutt and start yelling about it~"

"What a waste of my time..."

Wang Teng showed no mercy in his contempt, putting his right hand back into his pocket. He was already being very kind to the other party by offering even one hand.

"You~you~you~"

Upon hearing this, Bai Hao's face turned bright red with anger, he was panting heavily, and his chest heaved uncontrollably.

These words struck him right to the heart, and at that moment, he felt like a clown.

"Alright, do you want to continue the challenge? If not, then go down and give the opportunity to others."

Seeing the situation, Wei Ming knew he needed to speak up. It was just a competition; he couldn't let it escalate out of control.
