With Su Lan's private tutoring, Mu Ningxue completely dominated the competition.
If they hadn't been stretched thin and their teammates in other matches hadn't underperformed, Imperial University might have been the ones to win in the end.
In this exchange competition, it can be said that the Imperial Academy lost, but Mu Ningxue did not.
However, even though Mu Ningxue shone brightly in this exchange competition, the Mu clan still had a lukewarm response.
Even the rewards given out by the Imperial Capital Academy are quite ordinary.
Su Lan shook her head upon learning the result.
The Mu family is one thing, but this is the first time the Imperial Academy has ever been so foolish.
Considering what was about to happen, he felt no qualms about retaliating.
They are currently in a hotel suite.
Mu Ningxue clung to Su Lan like a kitten, greedily inhaling Su Lan's scent.
"Su Lan, I recently discovered that using the Ice Crystal Bow no longer drains my soul power, and even the amount of ice magic energy it draws has decreased."
She whispered about the strange things that had been happening to her body lately.
Mu Ningxue had told Su Lan about the Ice Crystal Bow within her body before she even arrived in the capital.
Even though this matter concerned the secrets of the Mu clan, Mu Ningxue still did not hide it from Su Lan.
Based on the information Su Lan subsequently obtained, Mu Ningxue gained a clear understanding of the Ice Crystal Bow.
"Did you really get that connection loop working?"
Mu Ningxue looked at Su Lan with her icy blue eyes. Her rosy face showed a hint of fragility, which was how she looked when she had completely let down her guard and defenses.
"That's right. I will directly distribute the soul power that you need to use the Ice Crystal Bow to the higher-ups of the Mu clan."
"It wasn't stable enough before, but now it can be used freely."
In his words, he showed no concern what the consequences would be if too much soul power were extracted.
Mu Ningxue simply nodded in response, not caring what effect the excessive use of the Ice Crystal Bow might have on those people.
In Mu Ningxue's heart, if the Mu family had shown her even a shred of humanity and care, she would not have been so indifferent to the life and death of the Mu family's higher-ups.
The Mu clan only cares about the life and death of the main branch; the branch branches have no future.
Even those in the main branch, having lost their usefulness, are treated much the same as those in the branch branches.
Just then, Mu Ningxue felt someone press close behind her.
Sensing someone behind her, Mu Ningxue called out shyly:
"Sister Serafina."
Seeing the amused expression on Mu Ningxue's face, Serafina's interest grew even stronger.
While Su Lan was pursuing ultimate bliss, a clash was taking place at the Imperial Capital Magic Association.
In the four-cornered pavilion, Professor Qiu Yuhua slammed his teacup heavily on the table, making a loud noise.
"I've already said, he is a student of my Pearl Academy. I will absolutely not allow you, Lu Nian, to use the name of the Ministry of Defense to arbitrarily experiment on my student."
"Don't talk about doing this for humanity or for the whole world. If you have the ability, then do it yourself and become the savior."
"Using other people's lives as stepping stones to gain empty fame is a crime!"
"Your current actions are even bordering on the Black Church's behavior. Don't talk to me about principles. If you had principles, you wouldn't be making this request to me!"
Professor Qiu Yuhua could no longer maintain his composure and started cursing.
So what if the people in front of us are from the Wei faction?
He's backed by a prestigious university!
Master Wei, known as Lu Nian, frowned deeply, wanting to refute Professor Qiu Yuhua.
But every time he tried to reason with her, Qiu Yuhua directly and sternly rejected him.
There was no point in saying more than necessary, so Lu Nian got up and left.
Sitting opposite him, Song He, the dean of the Imperial Academy, watched Lu Nian leave without trying to stop him.
He began discussing with Professor Qiu Yuhua the locations for their training at Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Academy.
After an hour of getting to know each other and preparing for the follow-up plans, they decided on the location for this training exercise.
Professor Qiu Yuhua then took his leave.
Half an hour after Professor Qiu Yuhua left, Lu Nian returned.
Seeing Lu Nian return, Dean Songhe knew perfectly well what Lu Nian's purpose was.
"That's against the rules."
Dean Songhe met Lu Nian's gaze, his eyes calm and still.
Lu Qingnian snorted.
"I've been breaking the rules for a long time, so one more time won't make a difference."
Finally, after getting the answer he wanted, Lu Nian left directly.
...
"This training session will take place in Jinlin City, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River."
After Dean Songhe announced that the location of this training was Jinlin City, the dozen or so students from Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Academy in front of him reacted in different ways.
Some people were pondering the location of Jinlin City, some were searching for information about Jinlin City on their phones, and some were whispering with their companions.
Finally, they received a shocking message from Professor Qiu Yuhua, who was standing nearby.
Jinlin City was conquered by demons fifteen years ago.
Fortunately, before Jinlin City was captured, the authorities received an early warning of the approaching demon tide and promptly relocated everyone out of the city.
The day after the population migration was completed, Jinlin City was attacked by demons, and the entire city was occupied by demons within a day.
To this day, Jinlin City has still not been recovered.
After learning about the mission of this training trip in Jinlin City, the group of students and their teachers boarded a train bound for a city near Jinlin City.
After several hours of running, they finally arrived at the starting point of their training at 2:30 p.m.
At the starting point, Mu Nujiao, Bai Tingting, and Mu Ningxue all turned back to look at Su Lan before following the group away.
Watching the dozen or so students gradually disappear into the distance, the teachers leading the group standing by the temporary outpost had solemn expressions on their faces, their worries evident.
Aside from their status as monks, these dozen or so people were all teenagers of only eighteen years old, with little social experience.
Now let them go to a place where there might be demons of warrior level or even commander level gathering to train.
To be honest, everyone was puzzled.
Although this group of students is the most outstanding among the freshmen of Imperial Capital University and Pearl University.
But ultimately, it hasn't grown up yet.
Without truly growing up, even the most outstanding person can easily perish in danger.
The other teachers leading the group and rescue personnel from the nearby Magic Association went to the outpost to keep an eye on and receive distress signals from the students.
Su Lan and Qiu Yuhua did not follow them inside.
Professor Qiu Yuhua looked at Su Lan.
"Little Su, if you're worried, you can follow me secretly. I'll help you cover it up."
After saying that, he looked around.
Upon hearing this, Su Lan smiled.
Professor Qiu Yuhua said that Su Lan was worried, but he was actually more worried himself, which is why he asked Su Lan to protect him secretly.
"Don't worry, Professor Qiu, it's fine if I don't go, as long as they go."
Professor Qiu Yuhua didn't react at first, but then suddenly remembered that Su Lan's first awakened element was the Summoning element.
And the two contracted beasts that Su Lan summoned.
He immediately understood what Su Lan was talking about.
Qiu Yuhua chuckled and returned to the outpost with her hands behind her back.
With Su Lan's contracted beast around, there's really nothing to worry about.
