Tang Miao just said it casually, but the three of them believed him instantly!
Moreover, they all looked at Tang Miao with envy… Tang Miao shrugged and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You're all Lightning mages, after all. With ordinary girls, you can casually flirt and hit a home run, right?"
Li Ning lay on the bed, somewhat helplessly, and sighed, "When I broke through to the Intermediate level, you, boss, were still a Novice mage. But now you're already Intermediate, and I still haven't been able to cast my first-tier spell. In this situation, where would I have time to pick up girls? Besides, who doesn't have some aspirations? Isn't it great to find a beautiful mage lady?"
As Li Ning finished speaking, Yang Yue and Wang Tian both nodded.
Given their authority as Lightning mages, they naturally prioritized mage girls as partners! Especially those girls from the Fire Institute, they were the most premium choice.
"Good idea, then you guys can keep playing with yourselves," Tang Miao said mischievously.
However, he forgot that there were times when he, too, couldn't resist and had a rendezvous with his five-fingered maiden… In fact, with his talent and strength, once word got out, not to mention ordinary girls, even the daughters of the world's most prominent families would be willing to be offered to him.
But, aside from Tang Yue, he himself wasn't willing to be dependent on anyone. If he didn't have this talent, so be it, but with such extraordinary talent, how could he be content to be a bootlicker?
His formidable talent and strength also raised his standards considerably. If he couldn't hook up, then just look at them more, right? And if he was going to look, he'd naturally choose the most beautiful!
If there was a chance encounter to alleviate his longing, or for a 'seed donation,' he certainly wouldn't refuse. After all, he loved such acts of helping others… The three of them were mocked, and although they were helpless, what could they do?
At this moment, Yang Yue asked curiously, "Boss, you came back today, it's not for tomorrow's challenge match, is it!?"
Tang Miao responded, "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have time to come back."
Upon hearing this, the three instantly became interested. After all, last time, Tang Miao had shown off his skills!
His opponent for this challenge would definitely not be simple!
Li Ning asked, "Boss, boss, who are you challenging this time?"
"I think this time, boss's opponent should at least be in the top fifty."
Yang Yue felt that since Tang Miao's first challenge was directly from the bottom to challenge the hundredth-ranked, then this challenge would definitely not be as simple as just jumping a few ranks. Otherwise, why would Tang Miao have been so quiet for so long?
The other two agreed with what Yang Yue said.
However, they still looked at Tang Miao at the same time.
"I haven't participated in a challenge match for two months, so an opponent who's too weak would be too boring. You'll know tomorrow, so get some rest!"
Tang Miao didn't say that he was challenging the first place, otherwise, these three weaklings would be shocked for half the night!
Seeing that Tang Miao wasn't interested in saying more, the three only thought that Tang Miao might be even more audacious than they had guessed!
However, what good was guessing about such a thing? Everything would be known when it started tomorrow. But this feeling of partial knowledge was truly uncomfortable!
...The next day, the scorching sun rose in the east, and as soon as they stepped out, they felt the unpleasant weather. It was early in the morning, but people already felt like they were sweating profusely… However, despite this, the number of people in the Lightning Institute was still considerable, and there were even some students from other departments who came here. Nothing else, but early in the morning, on the Mingzhu Academy's internal online platform, someone was challenging the top spot in today's challenge match!
If it were a normal day, students and teachers from other departments would naturally not be interested in attending. But in a situation like this, challenging the top spot, it was different.
The person who holds the first place in the challenge match must be extraordinary. Especially since the top spot in the Lightning Department has been held for two years. This challenge would certainly attract attention!
Looking at the usually not-so-crowded stands, which were now packed with people, Tang Miao's mouth twitched slightly, saying, "What's going on?"
Tang Miao's question didn't receive a reply. Instead, Yang Yue, looking at the news announced on his phone, said in shock, "Boss… you're actually challenging Ouyang Yuan!?"
"Holy crap!"
Following Yang Yue's exclamation, the other two also opened their phones. What they saw truly startled them… Although they knew Tang Miao's opponent would definitely be in the top fifty… Well, first place was also in the top fifty, but based on their estimates, Tang Miao would at most challenge someone around twentieth place, right?
But who would have thought that he was challenging the first place!?
The top spot on the Lightning Department's ranking list!?
And he was also a disciple of the famous Ouyang family, known for their Lightning mages!
They truly dared not imagine such a thing… Even some noble family disciples who wanted to show off were shocked at this moment. And because of this, so many people came to witness the event.
Tang Miao shrugged, and after understanding the situation, he didn't find it surprising anymore. He then walked to a spectator seat and quietly sat down.
After them, many other students from different departments of Mingzhu Academy continued to arrive. Even quite a few teachers came.
Qian Kun looked at the grand scene and said to Sun Yuan beside him, "Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"
"I didn't expect so many people to come!" Sun Yuan also said with some embarrassment.
Too many spectators wasn't necessarily a good thing, after all, whoever lost would cause a huge stir. Of course, Sun Yuan and Qian Kun actually just thought Tang Miao would lose… Losing in front of so many people would be an immense blow, and they were really afraid that Tang Miao wouldn't be able to accept this reality… As for winning? How could a first-tier Intermediate mage win against a third-tier Intermediate dual-element mage!? Both of them knew that Ouyang Yuan also possessed a Lightning Spirit Seed. And it was the famous "Scorching Thunder" Spirit Seed! This was considered a top-tier existence among Spirit Seeds.
Moreover, in addition to his Lightning element, his defensive Earth element was also third-tier Intermediate. As long as Ouyang Yuan wasn't overconfident and immediately put on his Intermediate Magic Armor to withstand Tang Miao's first attack, then the outcome was almost unimaginable!
After a moment of silence, Qian Kun sighed, "Ah, well, so be it. After this competition, you and I should comfort him a lot. As long as he can accept this failure, I believe he will go further in the future."
"That's all we can do," Sun Yuan, though seemingly simple-minded and brawny, was also exceptionally clear-headed.
In short, both of them were not optimistic about Tang Miao; they didn't think he would win at all. And he would definitely be defeated.
