After leaving the office, Fang Yu pondered to himself.
From Tang Yue's words, he had already drawn the attention of some unknown figure!
Who could it be…
Since arriving in this world, the only matter he had been entangled in that involved a mysterious person was that enigmatic woman.
Was it her?
Was she also a member of the Judgment Council?
Fang Yu let out a light sigh.
Setting aside these useless guesses whether it was or not, once his strength improved, he would naturally verify it. For now, his primary goal was cultivation.
Half a year passed. With a clear objective, time seemed to fly.
Aside from occasionally encountering demon beasts wreaking havoc within the bounds of Bo City and killing them, Fang Yu had remained at home cultivating diligently.
Fortunately, hard work paid off. Both his Ice and Space Elements had reached the Basic-Tier Level 2.
Ice Spread· Solidify!
Telekinesis · Qi Shield/ Repel!
The former spread vast layers of frost across a wide area; the latter used mental force to push back all things. Combined together, his combat power increased exponentially.
Even after breaking through, Fang Yu did not slack off, continuing to consolidate his magical cultivation.
Life was tasteless and monotonous cultivate, cultivate, cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, another week passed.
Hot air rolled over the mountain ranges, sweeping away the lingering spring in this southern region and replacing it with the cool clouds and rising humidity of summer.
Soon after, without any warning, a torrential downpour crashed down, leaving withered leaves and fallen petals scattered across the ground!
Bo City was a place that still experienced distinct seasons, though at times it could be extremely temperamental.
That very morning, the blazing sun had hung high in a cloudless sky. After just a short afternoon nap, it felt as if the world had changed, howling winds and dark clouds filled the heavens.
"Whoooo~~~~~~"
"Splashhh~~~~~~"
On the way to Tianlan Magic High School, Fang Yu strolled through the curtain of rain, frost swirling around his body and weaving into a layer of ice.
The raging wind eroded, the heavy rain poured down, but both were blocked by the icy barrier, unable to touch him.
When Fang Yu walked into Tianlan Magic High School.
Mo Fan witnessed the scene and suddenly felt that Lightning and Fire Elements weren't so impressive anymore.
Passing through countless waters, not a single drop touched him.
He couldn't help but feel envious.
Beside Mo Fan, Mu Bai stood frozen in shock.
They were both Ice Mages, why was the gap between them so vast?
As an Basic Tier Ice Mage, he simply couldn't achieve something like that.
At the same time.
Tang Yue held up an umbrella, crimson energy swirling around her body as intense heat evaporated the rainwater into steam.
Her graceful figure moved elegantly through the rain as she entered the school.
Seeing Fang Yu ahead, untouched by a single drop, Tang Yue's brows knit slightly.
Such strong control over the Ice Element?
He truly wasn't simple. No wonder Leng Qing had asked her to pay attention to him.
After a short while, Fang Yu met up with Mo Fan and said calmly, "So, how's this technique?"
"Get lost. Don't show off in front of me!" Mo Fan snapped.
He would never admit he was jealous.
"The Annual Assessment is coming soon. When the time comes, if you reveal what you've been hiding, you'll shock everyone too."
Mo Fan had no intention of responding to this show-off, but upon hearing that, his expression shifted slightly.
True!
His Fire Element magic could already be cast proficiently. When the time came, one impressive display and wouldn't the fangirls be lining up?
Moments later.
All the students of Class 8, Grade 1 gathered, and the class meeting began.
Tang Yue spoke about the year-end assessment scheduled for three days later.
Based on performance, outstanding students would be promoted to the Seed Class. At the same time, the school would lend them a Stardust Magic Tool for cultivation.
A Stardust Magic Tool was the nurturing vessel most desired by all mages for cultivation.
It increased meditation efficiency!
Upon hearing this, the students grew excited, eager to compete for that resource.
Three days passed.
The typhoon weather had cleared. That morning was bright and sunny, the summer air crisp and refreshing.
The Annual Assessment had finally arrived. Today would test the students' magical cultivation over the past year.
The examiners took their positions. Thirty freshman classes, fifteen hundred students dressed in the Tianlan Magic High School uniform stood magnificently on the training grounds, arranged into neat square formations.
Before the assessment, the principal naturally gave a speech. It was the same every year.
Afterward came the address from the school board.
When Mu He stepped onto the stage and passionately painted a bright future for mages before the students, Fang Yu couldn't help but find it amusing.
Expectations for the younger generation?
Ridiculous!
In two years, the Bo City Disaster he would orchestrate would fill that very generation with despair.
"Today is also a very special day."
"Because we have invited Bo City's most outstanding female mage. At fifteen, she was exceptionally admitted into the Imperial Magic University. I believe many of you have already heard her legend… That's right she is Mu Ningxue! Let us welcome this magical genius with applause. Though she should have been in your cohort, she has already advanced to the university level!" Mu He announced loudly.
The moment he said this, the entire training field of over a thousand people erupted into commotion.
"Oh my god, it's Mu Ningxue!"
"I heard she only used eight months to learn the Basic Tier Ice spell—Ice Spread."
"E-eight months? My heavens! I've been in school for a whole year and I've only managed to control five stars! How can the gap between people be so huge?!"
"That's not even the point… The point is, she's also a stunning beauty. Truly gifted and gorgeous the pride of Bo City!"
In an instant, the entire school began buzzing with discussion. From their reactions, it was clear none of them were unfamiliar with Mu Ningxue.
They had never expected to see this legendary magical genius during their Annual Assessment!
Fang Yu sighed inwardly. Not only that, Mu Ningxue also possessed the innate talent of a natural Ice Spirit Seed.
A future seed of a Forbidden Curse Mage!
On the rostrum a beautiful figure stood there, proud as a snow lotus. Her snow-white high-waisted dress accentuated her stunning figure to perfection.
What drew the most attention was not merely the alluring charm radiating from her youthful body, but her breathtaking silver-white long hair parted down the middle.
Despite the sweltering weather, the woman standing proudly on the stage seemed like a snow fairy who had descended from the icy peaks of the Tianshan Mountains into the mortal world—ethereal, beautiful, and untouchable.
Her cool, aloof demeanor resembled a snow lotus blooming atop the Tianshan.
This was Mu Ningxue.
An innate nobility and arrogance emanated from her very bones.
Unsurprisingly, Mo Fan was staring in a daze. This was likely his first time seeing Mu Ningxue since the "elopement" incident.
Back then, the "elopement incident" had caused a massive uproar, implicating many people. The truth was simply that Mu Ningxue had grown tired of her family. In a fit of her little princess temper, she had invited Mo Fan to run away from the Mu family.
The root cause lay with Mu Ningxue. Yet masters are never at fault. Her father, Mu Zhuoyun, made a mountain out of a molehill. In his rage, he implicated numerous servant families, causing childhood playmates to be torn apart. As a result, many people began harboring hostility toward Mo Fan. Mo Fan's father even lost his job and had once been humiliated by the Mu family.
Before long the Annual Assessment officially began!
The assessment was simple. Just like during the Awakening Ceremony, students only needed to place their hands on the Star Sensing Stone. Their results would be determined by the brightness emitted from it.
