Chapter 28. Luo Song: I haven't even started pretending yet!
"Dean Xiao, our Summoning Department wants this student." Inside the examination hall, upon seeing Mo Fan summon the Ghost Wolf Beast, Department Head Jiang Yunming immediately said.
When Fatty Luo arrived and saw this scene, he was somewhat displeased.
"Xiao Song, it seems that Jiang Yunming, the head of the Summoning Department, has decided to take him," Butler Li said awkwardly.
"Want him?? Why should I?!" Luo Song immediately became unhappy.
Meanwhile, the five examiners were already discussing the matter.
As the head of the Summoning Department, Jiang Yunming was determined to admit Mo Fan; otherwise, the Summoning Department would be extinct.
Dean Xiao, the bespectacled old professor, seemed to be quite satisfied with Mo Fan from the beginning, and he also agreed with his opinion.
Fatty Luo was immediately displeased. He was here, yet he was going to take in another student?
Before the examiners could make a decision, Luo Song jumped off the stands.
This guy has mastered the use of ground wave skills. With a light step, he quickly moved in front of Mo Fan.
Facing a ferocious ghost wolf beast, Luo Song seemed utterly unafraid. Instead, he looked at Mo Fan with disdain and said, "Let your ghost wolf beast play with me and see if it's just a pretty face."
"What kind of beast are you to be played with by my Ghost Wolf Beast?" Mo Fan looked at Fatty Luo and said with disdain.
"What, your wolf cub is all show and no substance?" Luo Song immediately provoked.
"Awoo~~~" the Ghost Wolf Beast growled.
It's clear that it wants to fight!
It's not a coward; since it's being provoked, it certainly can't back down.
"Since you want to, then go ahead," Mo Fan replied.
The Dark Wolf Beast stared coldly at the swollen Rosson, its eyes gradually revealing fighting spirit and hostility!
Clearly, it seemed to have noticed Luo Song's provocation.
"A pathetic wolf like you is no different from a watchdog in our house," Luo Song mocked.
"Ughhhhh!!!"
With its gaping maw full of fangs open, a murky energy could be seen surging from deep within the Dark Wolf Beast's throat.
With a fierce exhale, the Ghost Wolf Beast transformed its powerful breath into a raging sandstorm, whipping up sand and gravel from the ground!
Sand and stones flew everywhere!
Luo Song remained calm and took a step to the side.
He moved his body quickly to the side, and the swirling sand and stones grazed past him without injuring him.
Immediately afterward, the Dark Wolf Beast pounced forward.
The Shadow Wolf Beast's burst of power is terrifying; its speed can instantly increase to be faster than that of the Giant-Eyed Ape-Rat. Combined with this impact, it can swing its claws and instantly tear any creature in front of it in half.
"Ground wave - collapse!"
Luo Song quickly completed the Saturnian star trail and slammed his hands heavily onto the ground.
Instantly, the ground of the entire trial ground began to undulate noticeably. What was originally hard gravel turned into a soft layer of mud and sand under the control of Rosson's ground waves.
These layers of silt are rapidly shifting in the opposite direction, just like water flowing backwards.
As the wolf beast ran, its limbs sank noticeably into the soft sand, which significantly reduced its running speed.
With a roar, the Ghost Wolf Beast leaped off the ground, using its powerful explosive force to escape the quicksand trap. Its robust body shot towards Russia like an arrow!
"Damn it... I didn't want to reveal too much, but since this beast and this kid are so ungrateful, then let them see my intermediate-level magic!" Luo Song realized that his small earth magic was no longer enough to subdue this ferocious ghost wolf beast, so he quickly moved to another location in the training ground.
Perhaps due to some panic, Luo Song was quite disheveled during this move, losing his balance and falling face-first into the mud.
As Luo Song rose again, his face showed pride and anger, and he began to arrange the stars in the nebula.
The star map slowly appeared beneath his feet, and Luo Song's eyes were filled with contempt and mockery for the servant-level creatures like the Shadow Wolf Beast.
If you dare to compete with me, then I'll teach you a lesson.
It will turn the first thing you summon into a corpse!
"Zzzzz!!!"
Just as the stars suddenly aligned, dark clouds gathered overhead.
The instant the ice lock subdued the Dark Wolf Beast, before Luo Song could even put on an act, Mo Fan's voice rang out: "If you keep showing off, I'll strike you dead with lightning."
Upon hearing the sound, Luo Song saw the purple star map flashing near Mo Fan's location. Looking up, he suddenly saw a thundercloud that had appeared in the sky at some point, with lightning bolts about to strike swirling around it, ready to crash down at any moment.
Luo Song felt as if he were immersed in cold water, with cold sweat seeping from every inch of his skin.
My God, that's a mid-level lightning magic—Thunderbolt!
Luo Song was completely unprepared; this thunderbolt could blast him into mincemeat!
The scene suddenly became incredibly tense...
The examiners must have been so shocked they practically slammed their jaws on the table.
One second they were sparring as beginners, the next they were locked in a tense standoff as intermediate-level magicians.
Butler Li almost fainted. He knew his young master's strength and hoped he could keep a low profile. Who knew he would kick a hornet's nest? That seemingly ordinary summoning student was actually a freak with hidden mid-level strength!
That really bruised my face!
Luo Song no longer dared to hold onto that mid-level magic, and with his legs feeling weak, he withdrew the icy chains.
Seeing that he had dispelled the ice lock, Mo Fan then cooperated by gathering the lightning.
The lightning power was quickly withdrawn, and the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated, instantly restoring its harmless appearance.
"Come back." Mo Fan beckoned to his own ghost wolf beast.
The Ghost Wolf obediently ran back, its previously indifferent eyes now showing a hint of respect.
For a summoned beast, having a powerful master is naturally the greatest honor.
"Alright, it's just an assessment, there's no need to get so worked up. Mo Fan, although we don't know why a mid-level lightning mage like you would choose to study summoning, we respect your choice. Starting today, you are a freshman in the summoning department of our Pearl Academy." Dean Xiao still had that calm smile on his face.
Luo Song walked out of the training ground with a dark face, his previous arrogance of "I am the best in the world" gone.
"Little Fatty, you should also join the Ice-related Academy. You've already had an important lesson at the beginning of the semester, which is a good thing for you," Dean Xiao said.
"I..." Luo Song was furious.
I just randomly got into Mingzhu Academy, but it seems I was reluctantly accepted!
But he couldn't just slink away like that; otherwise, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
However, precisely because of this, Luo Song's gaze towards Mo Fan became extremely unfriendly.
Mo Fan didn't care about this.
Although Luo Song was left behind, he did not stay any longer. He then turned and left.
"Are you from Bocheng?" At this moment, Dean Xiao slowly took off his glasses and looked at Mo Fan.
When it was time to accept the student, Dean Xiao noticed that the student's file was registered in Bocheng.
Bocheng suffered a devastating disaster, a fact known throughout the country. The nation has also shown preferential treatment to students from Bocheng, and this time, Mingzhu Academy admitted a student from Bocheng, although this student from Bocheng was not particularly outstanding compared to students nationwide.
But what can you do when someone comes from a city that has been devastated?
They should be given some consideration.
Those who survive a life-or-death ordeal may undergo a different transformation in the future; who knows?
"Mm." Mo Fan nodded.
"Very good. I don't see any trace of cowardice or gloom in you after the disaster." Dean Xiao smiled slightly and said nothing more.
"People can't live in the past forever."
