Mu Nujiao pursed her lips, her pretty face flushed crimson as she caught sight of the gazes from those around her.
She truly wished she could leave this place immediately!
Song Jie chuckled to himself, completely ignoring the murderous stares directed his way.
"I was wrong just now. How about you kiss me back?" Song Jie said seriously.
Seeing this, Mu Nujiao reached out and pinched Song Jie again.
"Hiss…" Song Jie gasped, then quickly changed the subject. "Didn't you want to know how you lost?"
Mu Nujiao pursed her lips and turned to look at him.
Song Jie whispered, "Actually, Mo Fan is like me—he possesses a unique talent."
"What talent?"
"Innate Dual Element. Have you heard of it?"
"Innate Dual Element!" Mu Nujiao shook her head. She had indeed never heard of such a thing.
Song Jie explained, "Let me put it this way—he awakened two magic elements at the Elementary level. That should make it clear, right?"
"Awakened two elements at the Elementary level!?" Mu Nujiao now understood.
"So he doesn't just have Lightning and Summoning, but also the Shadow Element!"
"No, he has four elements," Song Jie said, shaking his head.
"Four!?"
Mu Nujiao frowned. "Then he must have awakened two elements at the Intermediate level as well!"
Song Jie nodded.
Although Mo Fan's Innate Dual Element would eventually be revealed publicly, Song Jie still warned, "Don't tell anyone about this. It's enough that you know."
Mu Nujiao nodded, then asked curiously, "What's his other element?"
Song Jie chuckled. "Want to know? Kiss me again, and I'll tell you."
Mu Nujiao ignored him this time, choosing to remain silent. Since she already knew why she lost, the rest didn't matter anymore.
The Beast Fighting Competition ended with the Summoning Element as the victor.
Song Jie and Mu Nujiao walked out of the Qing Dou Arena, strolling along the campus path.
It was now autumn, and green leaves drifted down from the tall trees, painting the walkway in golden hues.
They walked side by side, the scene like a beautiful autumn painting.
Song Jie chuckled, "The bet we made earlier—who's going to fulfill it?"
Hearing this, Mu Nujiao immediately knew what he meant. She deliberately teased, "Go find whoever you made that bet with."
"What? Are you still mad at me?"
"No!"
"Really?" As soon as Song Jie finished speaking, he suddenly hoisted Mu Nujiao onto his shoulder and began tickling her.
"Ahaha—!! Stop! Song Jie—!!"
"Are you still angry?"
"Not anymore…" she said between laughs.
Song Jie smiled, then set Mu Nujiao down. Her hair was slightly disheveled, giving her an unintentional charm.
After tidying herself up, Mu Nujiao changed the subject. "What level have you reached in the Three Step Tower?"
"Both elements have reached the third level," Song Jie replied.
Mu Nujiao was startled. Among all the people she had met, Song Jie's cultivation speed was truly abnormal.
Song Jie smirked. "Isn't your man amazing?"
Hearing this, Mu Nujiao's face turned scarlet again.
"Am… amazing…" she mumbled shyly.
"Then how should you reward your man?" Song Jie teased, flashing a mischievous smile.
"No reward!" Mu Nujiao quickly said.
"That won't do."
Before she could react, Song Jie wrapped an arm around her slender waist and, with lightning speed, kissed her soft red lips.
Since Mu Nujiao had to remain at school, Song Jie could only return home alone afterward.
As soon as he sat down, his phone began to ring.
He checked the number—it was unfamiliar but showed the caller was from the Imperial Capital.
"Hello?"
"Is that Song Jie?"
A deep male voice came through.
The tone was familiar, as if he'd heard it somewhere before.
"Ling Tiancheng."
"Oh…! General Ling!" Song Jie immediately recognized the voice.
He asked knowingly, "Is there something you need from me?"
Song Jie recalled that Ling Tiancheng had mentioned preparing a reward for him—it was likely about that.
Ling Tiancheng said, "I haven't properly thanked you for the You City incident. You did well."
"As a mage, that's what I should do," Song Jie replied calmly.
"Cultivate well. I have high hopes for you." Ling Tiancheng paused before adding, "Didn't I say I'd prepare a reward for you? It's ready now. You can come over when you have time."
"What kind of reward?"
"Don't you have a Plant Element Summoned Beast?" Ling Tiancheng asked.
"Is there a connection?"
"You brought back quite a few silver white flowers before," Ling Tiancheng explained. "We analyzed them and extracted a very special substance."
"A special substance?" Song Jie asked, intrigued.
"I can't explain it clearly in a short time—you'll understand once you come."
"Alright!" Song Jie nodded. They set a time before hanging up.
He was curious about the mysterious substance, but there was still one thing to handle first—the Light Element Academy's Challenge Month, which started tomorrow.
He needed to win first place before heading to the Imperial Capital.
Meanwhile, there was still no news from Mu Tingying—she still owed him two Star River Veins, and he planned to collect them soon!
…
The next morning, Song Jie bought breakfast at the school gate and walked toward campus.
At that moment, he ran into an old acquaintance—Lu You.
"Song Jie!"
"Lu You."
Song Jie had already asked Ding Yumian about the others' situations. Bai Liang, Dongfang Ming, and Lu You had survived, though many others hadn't been as lucky in Jinshan.
Bai Liang's group had encountered silver white flowers on the way, and by sheer luck, managed to survive.
Song Jie asked, "Do you know where the Light Element Academy's Challenge Month is being held?"
"Challenge Month?" Lu You looked at him in surprise. "Aren't you from the Summoning Element Academy? Why are you asking about our Light Element Academy's event?"
"I cultivate both Light and Summoning Elements. The Dean and your Academy Head have approved it," Song Jie replied casually.
"What!?" Lu You exclaimed in disbelief.
Song Jie ignored his reaction and said, "You're a Light Element mage too, right? You're participating as well?"
Lu You nodded.
"Perfect then. Our goals happen to align." Song Jie put an arm around his shoulder as they walked toward the arena.
Soon, the two arrived at the competition area, where many Light Element Academy students had gathered.
Song Jie's appearance drew considerable attention.
Someone muttered, "Isn't that Song Jie? Why is he here in our Light Element Academy?"
