"To think he could react to [Lightblade Slash]." The principal watched the battle between Dan Feng and Heki with a hunched posture, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Merely reacting to [Lightblade Slash] was enough to confirm that Dan Feng had passed the test—after all, this was not something an ordinary person could block.
Seeing this scene, Roxy felt a surge of excitement well up in her heart.
The resolute expression on Dan Feng's face when he blocked that strike made her heartbeat quicken involuntarily.
"Dan Feng is really amazing!" Roxy secretly praised in her heart.
The instant Heki was knocked back, Dan Feng did not hesitate. He swiftly advanced, pressing his advantage.
He gripped the tail of the spear tightly with his right hand, then suddenly exerted force, channeling all his body's strength into this one strike.
Cloud-Piercer shot forward like lightning, thrusting toward Heki's abdomen at a speed too fast to follow.
Seeing this, Heki hurriedly assumed a defensive stance.
However, his reaction was already a beat too slow—because the essence of the Sword God Style was that "the best defense is offense."
"Cloud Chant: Control Water." Dan Feng coldly uttered these four words, his voice carrying a chill.
In an instant, water surged like a raging torrent, rapidly converging onto Cloud-Piercer.
The water flowed along the spear tip and struck Heki like a violent storm.
A thunderous "boom" rang out as the powerful stream of water slammed directly into Heki's body.
Heki was launched backward like a cannonball, crashing hard into the extremely tough anti-magic bricks behind him.
The impact was like a magic cannon hitting a spirit pearl—the anti-magic brick was forcibly smashed into a human-shaped crater by Heki's battle-aura-covered body.
Immediately after, Heki's body fell straight down from the wall.
With a heavy thud, he landed solidly on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Fortunately, Dan Feng had not used lethal mana, and Heki had managed to concentrate all his battle aura over his body at the critical moment, barely withstanding this astonishingly powerful strike from Dan Feng.
Even so, Heki had suffered serious injuries.
The sword in his hand now had a massive hole pierced through it, as if it could snap at any moment.
Moreover, his stamina had been completely depleted by that earlier [Lightblade Slash].
At this moment, he lay limply on the ground, drained of all strength, barely able to move a single finger.
So he simply lay there and rested for a while.
At that moment, crisp applause suddenly rang out.
It was the principal. Smiling, he clapped enthusiastically for Dan Feng without holding back.
Immediately after, Roxy also joined in the applause.
"Wonderful!" The principal could hardly contain his excitement and praised loudly, "Combining chantless water magic with a long spear—it's truly ingenious! You are simply a genius!"
The principal was so thrilled because this kind of miraculous effect from fusing water magic with another weapon had never been attempted by anyone in history.
After all, to use such a technique required mastery of chantless magic skills, which no one from previous generations seemed to possess.
Yet today, he had personally witnessed it—how could he not feel shocked and overjoyed?
"Principal, you flatter me." Though Dan Feng's face showed little expression, his tone was extremely humble.
Before his words even finished, Cloud-Piercer in his hand instantly dissolved into countless azure particles, drifting away like smoke and vanishing completely without a trace.
Seeing this, the principal showed no great surprise on his face.
After all, as the principal of Ranoa Magic University, he was quite familiar with various magic tools—especially since the Ranoa Kingdom bordered an allied nation specializing in researching and manufacturing magic tools. Magic tools capable of storing items were nothing new to him.
At that moment, Heki, who had been lying quietly on the ground, slowly stirred. He gradually pushed himself up and stood.
In truth, he had been conscious the whole time. But because of the injury to his abdomen, any slight movement caused excruciating pain, so he had stayed down, waiting for the Saint-rank healing magic circle to heal his wounds.
"Dan Feng, you're very strong!" Heki stood up, his gaze fixed on Dan Feng as he praised without reservation, "With your current strength, you're already comparable to a Sword King."
Faced with Heki's praise, Dan Feng showed no trace of pride. He replied calmly, "You're strong too. It was only by luck that I managed to counter your [Lightblade Slash]."
"Haha, is that so?" Heki burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this. "Then how about we arrange another match someday?" His laughter echoed in the air, revealing his straightforward and easygoing personality.
"No problem."
Afterward, Heki took his leave, saying he had a date with someone he liked for a meal. Since the test was over, the principal naturally didn't keep him.
"Now that both of you have completed your special student enrollment tests, you are officially members of Ranoa Magic University." The principal said with a smile, his eyes radiating kindness.
Looking at Roxy and Dan Feng before him, the principal secretly marveled in his heart: These two children's aptitudes are truly extraordinary! With their talent and potential, they are bound to become remarkable figures in the future.
Thinking of this, the principal's smile grew even brighter. He could already envision Ranoa Magic University gaining fame once again because of certain students.
Ranoa Magic University's reputation stemmed from its outstanding teaching quality and living conditions, which drew many noble children from great distances to study here.
"The new semester will begin soon. At that time, you can enroll and attend classes as first-year special students." The principal continued, "For now, you may move into the student dormitories. I'll arrange someone to show you the way."
With that, the principal stood up and gestured for Dan Feng and Roxy to follow him out of the magic training field.
The three walked along the campus paths and arrived in front of a spacious, brightly lit classroom.
The principal pushed open the door, entered, and spoke briefly with the person inside.
The person in the classroom seemed to take the principal's words very seriously. She nodded solemnly, then walked over to Dan Feng and Roxy and said, "Follow me."
Dan Feng and Roxy exchanged a glance, then followed her out of the classroom.
Along the way, this teacher introduced them to the school layout, including the locations of various teaching buildings, the library's opening hours, and so on.
Finally, they arrived at the base of the girls' dormitory.
As always, it was built with anti-magic bricks and featured a similar architectural style.
Ranoa Magic University had several dormitory buildings, but the boys' and girls' dormitories were quite a considerable distance apart.
So the teacher first took Roxy to choose her room.
Because each special student was assigned a single-person dormitory, this made Dan Feng quite satisfied—he disliked disturbances. The thought of ending up with an idiotic noble roommate made him shudder.
