"Good!" Mu Nujiao said with a smile, Mu Ningxue's teasing words also made Mu Nujiao relax a lot.
The two walked off the stage with smiles, leaving only Lin Chen, who was stunned.
Mo Fan, who was in the distance, patted Zhao Manyan's shoulder and said, "See, I told you!"
"Damn it, that works too!" Zhao Manyan said, looking defeated.
Seeing Lin Chen come down from the stage, Zhao Manyan immediately went forward and pulled Lin Chen to ask for experience.
Lin Chen had no experience to teach, so he could only pretend to be mysterious and tell him: "Don't envy your brother, your brother is just a legend!"
...
With the end of this competition between Imperial Capital Academy and Mingzhu Academy, it also meant that the outdoor training would begin in a few days.
Since students usually cultivate in places like academies and cities, even if they have practical combat experience, it's only against Mages. There are still many shortcomings, so direct training against demon is essential.
A powerful Mage does not necessarily need powerful strength; what is more important is how to survive well in the wild where demon run rampant.
The academy's training is not the small-scale skirmishes from the advanced preparatory department era, but directly dispatches students outside the An Boundary, without mentors accompanying them, and without hunter protection. They must rely on themselves to overcome numerous difficulties and face demon on their own.
Outside the An Boundary, dangers lurk everywhere. In the Full Magic World where demon are everywhere, life can be endangered at any time.
Of course, death is inevitable in this kind of training, but as a Mage, one should be prepared for this kind of realization on the day they awaken their own magic element.
The final result of this competition spread at an extremely fast speed, and Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy naturally received the news very quickly.
Lin Chen's strength was beyond doubt. The moment Lin Chen agreed to go, Dean Xiao had already guessed the final outcome.
What he didn't expect was that another Mu Nujiao had emerged. Dean Xiao also had some understanding of Mu Ningxue's strength; she was a unique existence in Imperial Capital Academy. Being able to draw with Mu Ningxue greatly boosted the morale of Mingzhu Academy.
The academy also announced the good news at Mingzhu Academy. For a time, Lin Chen and Mu Nujiao became the male and female gods of Mingzhu Academy, deeply sought after by the students.
As the situation escalated, the video of this competition between the two academies also circulated. Imperial Capital Academy became a stepping stone for Mingzhu Academy. Some people even made a combat power assessment report and a talent ranking.
Mu Nujiao's strength alone could suppress Imperial Capital Academy, and with a formidable weapon like Lin Chen, it was clear that Mingzhu Academy came to challenge.
Such a conclusion spread quickly. Imperial Capital Academy could do nothing but silently endure it, after all, the strength of Mingzhu Academy's students was evident, and Lin Chen was an insurmountable mountain.
Imperial Capital Academy had known this for a long time. Since losing the competition, they had hoped to quickly restore Imperial Capital Academy's reputation.
Originally, they wanted to control the development of the situation, but they didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Now it was too late to control it, and the leadership of Imperial Capital Academy hated Mingzhu Academy for this.
According to the talent ranking, Lin Chen's talent ranking was not high, not even in the top ten.
Whether in this competition or the previous Fire Courtyard challenge, Lin Chen did not reveal too much, and all of Lin Chen's combat power came from his extremely high magic control.
However, Lin Chen's Advanced-Tier strength could no longer be hidden. In the previous Fire Courtyard challenge, Lin Chen had used Summoning and Fire. During this competition, Lin Chen also displayed Ice.
After learning of Lin Chen's Advanced-Tier strength, Imperial Capital Academy resented Mingzhu Academy even more for being dishonorable. An Advanced-Tier Mage could already graduate, yet they sent an Advanced-Tier Mage to participate in the competition. Wasn't this slapping Imperial Capital Academy in the face?
Fortunately, after Lin Chen's age was announced, the situation completely subsided. Breaking through to Advanced-Tier before the age of twenty, continuing to argue about it would only make Imperial Capital Academy lose face.
The facts were there, who else could be blamed? One could only blame themselves for not cultivating well. Why could Lin Chen break through to Advanced-Tier before the age of twenty?
Although Lin Chen exposed his Advanced-Tier strength, he was not worried. Even if Lin Chen cultivated faster, certain organizations would not bother him. Even if Lin Chen had super high control, these could be concealed through Soul Seed.
After returning to the apartment, Lin Chen saw that Mu Nujiao had also returned. Mu Nujiao looked at Lin Chen mysteriously, but didn't say much.
Teacher Gu Han saw that everyone had returned and said to the crowd: "Next, you will go out to train beyond the An Boundary. This training has no protective measures whatsoever, so if you encounter danger, no one will save you!"
"Ah? No protection at all?" As soon as Teacher Gu Han finished speaking, it caused an uproar.
Those who could be sent as exchange students by the academy must have a certain level of strength. Students with strong abilities during college, their respective families have basically invested a lot of resources, so these students' identities are obviously not low. Most of them are scions of influential families, or second-generation rich.
People with a certain background naturally cherish their lives. Students like Zhao Manyan and Shen Mingxiao were stunned when they heard Teacher Gu Han's words.
Teacher Gu Han explained: "We will give you a light magic signal pen. If you are trapped somewhere, we will send rescue to save you, provided you are still alive."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions stiffened.
"In previous years' training, there have always been deaths and injuries. In short, I hope that when you embark on the training, you must not relax even a little bit, and do not do anything risky. Perhaps you might think that even if you encounter a few demon, you can easily deal with them, but I want to tell you, don't think things are that simple!" Teacher Gu Han said very seriously at this moment.
"You usually have demon classes, and mentors will explain some information about outside the An Boundary. The truth is, most of the teachers who teach you these things have never left the An Boundary themselves. Do you think what they tell you can save your lives when you encounter danger... That's not very realistic. In short, be careful in everything. However many people go out, that many people must come back!" Teacher Qiuyuhua, who was beside him, also couldn't help but speak.
Looking at the few unpromising students, these teachers were truly worried sick.
He also gave everyone sound advice, which was to bring a good set of armored magic equipment. Even if they encountered danger, it could save their lives.
The students who could appear here basically had good family backgrounds, and they generally wouldn't lack ordinary magic equipment. There were still five days until the training.
