Chapter 57. Seeing Mu Ningxue again, she immediately started causing trouble.
"Lu Zhenghe, Mingcong, Xiao Jinhe, Xiaofeng, the four of you go. If Mingzhu Academy only has so little ability, the four of you are enough to deal with them." Lu Yiming said very casually after seeing the result of the first match.
After all, their lineup for the first game wasn't very strong.
As a result, Mingzhu Academy lost, so wouldn't the second match be a foregone conclusion?
"Teacher, let me go on stage." Just then, a melodious voice, as clear as a silver bell, came from under the parasol.
All eyes immediately turned to the girl under the parasol.
The parasol was large, and because it was in the shade of the steps, many people didn't notice the girl quietly blooming like a cluster of ice lotuses under the blazing afternoon sun. It wasn't until she stood up, and until a strange, icy aura swirled around her and slowly spread outwards, that people were surprised to find such a stunningly beautiful and independent woman in the Imperial Academy's group!
She stepped into the sunlight, the faint mist highlighting her graceful figure. Her high boots, covered in snow-white goose feathers, encased her delicate and alluring calves. Her round, straight legs were partially concealed by a long leather trench coat, which, though seemingly tailor-made, still accentuated her stunning curves.
Her figure was already quite perfect, but what was even more captivating was her exquisite face. Her features were so perfect that it was as if she had stepped out of a painting, without a single flaw. If one had to point out something about her face that might be unpleasant, it would be the aloofness and icy pride in her expression. But this also perfectly matched the phrase "skin as white as ice and bones as jade," a description of her unparalleled beauty.
The person who arrived was none other than Mu Ningxue.
She didn't care much about the first match.
On the contrary, she wanted to have a match with Mo Fan in this second match!
Having not seen him for a long time, Mu Ningxue also wanted to see how much Mo Fan had grown.
After all, back in Bo City, he had easily defeated Yu Ang. Yu Ang's strength was indeed not that great, but Mu Ningxue couldn't understand how Mo Fan, a nobody, had managed it.
"Mu Ningxue, are you sure you want to go on stage?" Teacher Lu Yiming asked seriously.
"Hmm." Mu Ningxue didn't explain further, but simply walked straight into the arena.
Upon seeing this, one of the trainees in their team immediately chose to quit.
Students from other academies around them were also stunned. Judging from the behavior of the students from the Imperial Capital Academy, the beautiful woman with long silver hair was the captain.
Are you kidding me? They fought for half the morning and couldn't even force the other team captain to come out. This exchange student is such a failure!
However, for students from other universities, this is also a good opportunity. They can see just how capable the top students from the capital's universities really are.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this exchange student trip wasn't a waste. If I could win this woman over, I'd give up my entire fortune. I've made up my mind, she's the woman I, Zhao Manyan, will conquer," Zhao Manyan declared confidently.
"Me too… I can abandon my cultivation," Zheng Bingxiao hurriedly said.
Peng Liang nodded in agreement.
"Don't even think about it," Mo Fan said.
"What, is she already taken?" Peng Liang asked.
"Yes, we made a lifelong vow together when we were kids," Mo Fan replied.
When Mo Fan said this, everyone present thought he was daydreaming!
Although it was the first time I'd met Mu Ningxue, I could tell at a glance she came from an extraordinary background. How could you, Mo Fan, a nobody, possibly be engaged to someone else?
"Alright, alright, we're here to fight for the school's honor, not to bicker over girls and lose before the competition even starts!" Teacher Gu Han said.
Immediately, everyone walked onto the field.
"Keep an eye on her. She should be an ice mage. I'll try my best to keep her occupied during the battle. You guys try to take care of the others quickly so we can team up to deal with her." Song Xia gave the instructions as she walked onto the field.
"What kind of status do you have that you dare to order around the Great Demon King Mingzhu?" Mo Fan said.
"Then you take command." Song Xia didn't argue; after all, she had heard of the notorious Mingzhu Demon Lord. She simply stepped down and gave way to a more capable person.
Mo Fan's lips twitched. Goodness, he really is easygoing.
Isn't Song Xia supposed to be a fiery and temperamental girl?
"What do you think we should do?" Song Xia then asked.
"Just show her what you're capable of. I can completely control her," Mo Fan said.
Seeing Mo Fan's confidence, Song Xia felt it was somewhat unreliable. However, seeing how relaxed Shen Mingxiao and Mu Nujiao looked, she felt the outcome would be worrying, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Inside the venue.
"My dear wife, have you missed me?" Mo Fan deliberately pouted as he greeted her.
Back when he was at Tianlan Magic High School, Mo Fan was still in his developmental stage, so he kept a low profile at that time.
But now that he has achieved some success, there is naturally no need for him to be subservient.
Seeing Mo Fan pout, Mu Ningxue remained calm and responded directly with 'Ice Vine'!
Frost danced in the air, and crystalline powder filled the entire battlefield, the cold air instantly dispelling all traces of the surrounding atmosphere.
The ground was originally covered with a thin layer of frost, appearing like a veil of ice. However, after Mu Ningxue unleashed her Ice Vine skill, the frost transformed into living plants, densely covering and spreading like ivy!
The mentors leading the teams from various universities were dumbfounded when they saw this!
Because this is a domain!
"Damn it, her domain will completely restrain me."
Song Xia's expression completely changed. Her flames were merely ordinary fire, and they would definitely be restrained when facing higher-level spiritual ice!
Looking at Mu Ningxue, who immediately suppressed him with her domain, Mo Fan felt a little emotional. She really wasn't holding back at all.
To be honest, with Mu Ningxue like this, Mo Fan really can't be sure if he can suppress her without using fire magic.
Although his lightning element was already at the mid-level third stage, her domain did indeed exert a suppressive effect. Even though this domain was not yet fully mature, the lightning element still found it difficult to gain an advantage.
However, using fire magic would undoubtedly create unnecessary trouble for oneself.
But he had promised Dean Xiao that he would participate in this competition.
"Damn it. This stupid woman really knows how to make things difficult for herself!" Mo Fan cursed inwardly.
"Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!"
While everyone was still trapped in the ice domain, the people from the Imperial Academy had already launched an attack.
A beginner-level lightning spell—the purple lightning marks twisted and turned, yet they were able to travel freely across the ice. In an instant, long arcs of electricity crackled and popped beneath everyone's feet.
The ice vines themselves come with a powerful freezing and slowing effect. If the muscle paralysis from the lightning seal also occurs, it will be even more difficult for the four students from Pearl Academy to move.
"I'll do it!"
At that moment, Mo Fan stepped in front of him.
At this moment, Song Xia, Mu Nujiao, and Shen Mingxiao remembered that Mo Fan was also a lightning magician, and the lightning seal might not be able to act recklessly in front of him.
After all, Mo Fan was also a lightning mage, and his lightning cultivation was certainly no weaker than his opponent's.
