Chapter 5
"The first one, Li Xingze!"
"???"
Li Xingze looked confused; shouldn't the first one be "Magic Bitch" He Yu?
How did it become him?
"Old Li, I'm watching your performance," Mo Fan said with a smile.
Now that he has reached the first level of both departments, he just wants to stand on the high platform, puff out his chest, and shout at the classmates below:
"Who else!"
"Go, Brother Li!" Zhang Xiaohou encouraged.
In the distance, Mu Zhuoyun's attention was suddenly drawn to the commotion, and when he saw the figure about to take the test, his eyes widened.
It's that brat!!
Seeing Mu Zhuoyun's fierce gaze, Principal Zhu felt a bit strange. Did Li Xingze offend this old man Mu?
"What department did this kid awaken?"
Mu Zhuoyun looked at Principal Zhu and asked, feeling that this kid had actually seduced his daughter!
But that's fine; Ning Xue is a top student from the Imperial Capital Academy. Let's see how this kid performs.
If he is of the Light or Water department, let's see what face he has to continue pursuing Ning Xue!!
"It's the Summoning department," Principal Zhu said truthfully.
"Summoning department?" Mu Zhuoyun was taken aback and then questioned, "How is that possible? The awakening stone distributed to the school can awaken a Summoning department?"
"Perhaps Li Xingze is exceptionally gifted; after all, the awakening stone is just a tool. Ultimately, it depends on the mage's innate talent," Principal Zhu explained.
Mu Zhuoyun understood this reasoning, but he was just unhappy that this kid had such good luck.
This is the Summoning department! If he contracts a high-bloodline summoning beast, his strength would be comparable to a mid-level mage.
"Hmph, without sufficient resources, this kid awakening the Summoning department is simply a waste."
Mu Zhuoyun looked at Li Xingze on the stage with a displeased expression.
Li Xingze was unaware that Mu Zhuoyun had set his sights on him. He placed his hand on the stone and quickly entered a focused state.
The next moment, a moon-white light rapidly spread from the Star Perception Stone, filling the entire stone and even bursting forth!
"S+"
"S+"
"S+"
"Final score: S+"
"What the hell, Li Xingze is going against the heavens! The Summoning department is already invincible, and he's leveling up so quickly; what do we have to compare with?!"
"How did this guy train? Didn't they say the Dimensional department is harder to cultivate?!"
"I heard the principal gave him special treatment. Tsk tsk, it's simply too enviable."
Mu Bai gritted his teeth as he looked at the dazzling Li Xingze above. He hadn't even had his turn yet, and all the glory had already been stolen!
"Brother Li is amazing; this score should be first, right?" Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed in shock.
The examiner looked at Li Xingze in astonishment and asked, "Do you want to test your magic release?"
"Of course."
At this moment, Li Xingze had already seen Mu Zhuoyun below, along with Mu Ningxue beside him.
This was not just for show; this annual assessment was also related to the allocation of Stardust Magic Tools.
"I want to see what this kid can summon."
Seeing his daughter looking bewitched, Mu Zhuoyun was furious and gritted his teeth.
If it weren't for his status, he would have loved to tear this kid apart right now.
"Then get ready and start."
Li Xingze's results were outstanding, and the examiner felt that there shouldn't be much problem with the magic release.
Hearing that this student was from the Summoning department, it was his first time encountering a student from this department, and he was very much looking forward to Li Xingze's summoned beast.
One star, two stars.
"So fast!"
The examiner looked horrified; this speed was completely abnormal. How could it resemble a novice mage who had just started learning magic for less than a year?
Even some third-year students couldn't achieve what Li Xingze had done!
"Dimensional Summoning!!"
Those seven stars connected sequentially to form a moon-white star track, and then a light circle with a diameter of over five meters appeared in everyone's sight.
"Roar~~~!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a golden dragon lion walked out from the light circle.
Extremely domineering!!
Ordinary lions are covered in dense fur, but this dragon lion's body was mostly covered in golden scales, with flames burning on its head and tail.
"This is a progression stage!" Principal Zhu, as a high-level mage, had an extraordinary vision. "With Li Xingze's cultivation level, how could he possibly contract a progression stage summoning beast?"
"And it seems this summoning beast has a high bloodline; it might even be cultivated to the leader level."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Zhuoyun, who originally looked down on Li Xingze, was stunned.
With this summoned beast, whether it was the Imperial Capital Academy or the Mingzhu Academy, he could choose freely!
A summoned beast in the advancement stage, with a high bloodline level, and seemingly possessing dragon lineage, ordinary intermediate mages would likely not be a match!
Even Mu Zhuoyun himself did not have complete confidence in capturing this massive monster.
How terrifying!!
At this moment, Li Xingze was looking at the examiner, pointing at the seemingly small puppet and asking, "Is it attacking this thing?"
The puppet was crafted to the size of an average person, about 1.75 meters tall.
In the eyes of these first-year students, this puppet was considered quite tall, but in front of this gigantic beast, it was merely a small toy.
"Mm-hmm~"
The examiner was less than a meter away from the Golden Flame Dragon Lion, and the overwhelming pressure made him tremble all over, even his breathing became rapid.
After seeing the examiner's dazed nod, Li Xingze immediately gave an order to the Golden Flame Dragon Lion.
With a wave of his hand, the Golden Flame Dragon Lion raised its powerful giant paw and struck down at the puppet.
With a "bang," the incredibly hard puppet was crushed into a pile of fragments.
"Damn, Brother Fan," Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed with shining eyes, continuing, "Brother Li's summoned beast is too awesome. If it hit a person, they'd probably just pass out."
Mo Fan rolled his eyes, pass out? They'd probably be smashed into mush.
This guy is too abnormal; where did he get such a summoned beast? Not only is it immensely powerful, but its appearance is also incredibly cool and domineering!
With such a mighty mount, riding it down the street would surely attract the attention of countless girls!
Just thinking about it made Mo Fan swallow hard.
Looking at Li Xingze on the stage, who seemed almost godlike, Mu Zhuoyun for the first time regarded him differently; this kid actually seemed quite impressive.
If he were to apply to the Imperial Capital Academy...
Thinking of this, Mu Zhuoyun couldn't help but glance at his daughter.
If Li Xingze could break through to the intermediate level within three years, he might actually be able to accept the two being together.
At this moment, the examiner, coming back to his senses, began giving scores:
"S!" "S!" "S!"
"Release Result: S!"
With this result, the top position in the annual assessment was already unshakeable.
