Teacher Rong Min realized that Ren Tao wanted her to use spirit-type magic, so she reluctantly agreed.
"Sound Chord!"
"Disturb!"
Teacher Rong Min completed the Sound Element Star Chart. She raised her delicate hand and, as if plucking invisible strings in the air, sent waves of sound toward Song Jie.
Although it was only Basic Level magic, with her current level of spiritual power, it should have been impossible for Song Jie to block it!
Song Jie instantly recognized the opponent's Sound Element magic, but he wasn't afraid at all.
He was already casting "Spiritual Holy Shield." With it, her attack would be completely ineffective against him.
Ren Tao watched the sound waves close in, yet the scene he wanted didn't appear. His brows furrowed.
Rong Min, too, was surprised — her Sound Element magic had no effect at all?
Song Jie smiled and said casually, "Who played that song just now? It was really good. I want to hear it again."
Ren Tao's jaw tightened; his molars almost ground to dust. "Teacher Rong Min, try using Intermediate Level magic."
"Director Ren, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? What if there's an accident..." Rong Min hesitated.
"Just control the power a little," Ren Tao said.
Hearing this, Rong Min nodded helplessly.
A Star Chart formed in her mind, and a hexagram appeared beneath her feet!
"Killing Melody!"
"Bow!"
Teacher Rong Min assumed the posture of drawing a bow and, as she released, a wave-like surge of sound burst forth!
"This should definitely end it now!" someone whispered.
"Light Element magic can't block spirit-type attacks. Song Jie is sure to lose this time!"
"Wait—he looks so calm. Could it be he can actually block it?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Song Jie.
Soon!
The Intermediate Level Sound Element magic struck — and failed to pierce Song Jie's Holy Shield!
The arena fell silent. Then—
An uproar erupted!
"He blocked it!"
"He actually blocked it!"
"Light Element can block spirit-type attacks? That's impossible!" someone shouted in disbelief.
Even the Light Element mages among them were baffled.
If Song Jie could do it, why couldn't they?
Ren Tao and the other teachers exchanged confused glances. None of them had ever heard of such a thing.
"Is this a Mutated Talent ability? That's way too abnormal," a mentor muttered.
Teacher Rong Min sighed. "Magic below the Advanced Level probably won't affect him anymore."
Ren Tao's face stiffened. "Do I really have to use Advanced Level magic against a student? That would be humiliating."
The teachers fell silent. Indeed, if they had to use Advanced Level magic to break through a student's defense, they'd lose all dignity.
Although Ren Tao felt deeply frustrated, he couldn't do anything about it.
"Teachers, why don't you continue?" Song Jie asked with a playful smile.
He had already figured them out. There was no way they'd risk using Advanced Level magic. Its destructive power could easily level the entire venue.
Teacher Rong Min smiled lightly. "Song Jie, your assessment is over."
"Already? I didn't feel anything at all." Song Jie said deliberately, glancing at Ren Tao.
Clearly, the remark was meant for him.
Ren Tao clenched his fists in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
"Student Song Jie, please wait a moment. We will now evaluate your performance," Rong Min said kindly.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to the teachers." Song Jie replied politely.
Soon, Ren Tao and the others gathered to discuss Song Jie's score.
"Director Ren, please start," Rong Min said.
Ren Tao nodded and gave Song Jie a 98.
Everyone was shocked.
They all knew Ren Tao was an extremely strict evaluator — even the top-ranked student in the Light Element Academy had only received 88 from him.
For him to give 98 was unheard of! But it was also fitting — Song Jie's performance spoke for itself.
Rong Min looked around at the others, then smiled. "Student Song Jie, congratulations on achieving a high score of 98, and at the same time, winning first place in the Light Element Academy!"
Gasps erupted throughout the hall.
They had thought Song Jie would fail, but reality proved otherwise.
Even the teachers were powerless against his defense — how could anyone deny his strength?
This first place was well-deserved!
Ninety-eight points — the highest score in the Light Element Academy's history!
Song Jie had set an unprecedented record.
"Thank you, Teacher," Song Jie said with a nod.
"Student Song Jie, may I ask — is your Light Element really capable of blocking spirit-type magic attacks?" Rong Min asked.
Everyone turned to listen — they were all curious about this.
"Oh, no, it's not that," Song Jie replied smoothly. "Earlier, I made a bet with Professor Deng, and he lost. He gave me a spirit-type magic tool."
The answer satisfied Rong Min. She nodded with a smile. "Ah, I see. I thought your Light Element was capable of blocking spirit-type magic."
Song Jie nodded and left the assessment area.
"Song Jie, congratulations!" Lu You said sincerely. He had known Song Jie's Light Element attack was strong, but hadn't expected his defense to be this overwhelming.
"Thanks," Song Jie said lightly. "There's nothing else, right?"
"No. With your score, I doubt anyone will surpass it even when you graduate," Lu You replied with a wry smile.
The previous record high was 92 points. Song Jie's 98 was in a league of its own.
"That's good," Song Jie said with satisfaction. In the Light Element Academy, as long as no one surpassed his score, all the top resources would remain his.
Meanwhile, news of Song Jie's dual cultivation — mastering both the Summoning and Light Elements — had already spread throughout the Main Campus!
And with it came the shocking report — he had won first place in both elements!
A newcomer had taken two first-place titles at once!
It was simply unprecedented!
Song Jie, however, paid no attention to the growing rumors. That evening, since he was leaving for the Imperial Capital the next day, he invited Mu Nujiao for a walk.
Under the moonlight, the two strolled along the quiet campus path, their shadows stretching together.
"Song Jie... someone's walking by. Can you please not..."
"Ah? Where? I don't see anyone."
"Song Jie... someone just passed by."
"I didn't see them, so it doesn't count."
"Song Jie... can we find somewhere to sit down?"
"We can."
...
At noon the next day, Song Jie departed for the Imperial Capital and arrived by afternoon.
Beforehand, he had already contacted Ling Tiancheng, who asked him to take a taxi to the Magic Association.
Song Jie hailed a cab, gave the driver the address, and soon arrived at the largest Magic Association in the country.
