Chapter 15

The Neglected 3-Year Promise, Brother Mian Takes You on a Trip

Mu Zhuoyun's expression was complicated as he gently stroked his fingers, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind.

S+ level magic power is undoubtedly a good talent.

Unfortunately, as a summoning mage, the summoned beasts that form the core of his combat power are far too ordinary.

A summoned beast the size of a rabbit.

I'm afraid even an ordinary person could easily mess with it, right?

What's your name, Mika?

I've never even heard of it.

I thought Lin Mian could summon something incredible.

Mu Zhuoyun shook his head and sighed.

Raising summoned beasts requires a huge amount of resources and effort; as mages improve, their summoned beasts also need to improve.

In that case, it would be more worthwhile to focus all our efforts on cultivating Mo Fan, who has outstanding fire-type talent.

Mu Zhuoyun's initial desire to recruit and win over Lin Mian gradually faded.

What a pity, what a pity!

In contrast, Mu He's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and the gloom in his eyes vanished.

What he was most worried about was that Lin Mian might possess a summoned beast with top-tier combat power.

Looking at the adorable Mika now, it's clear I was worrying unnecessarily.

Although this little guy has light elements on him, Mu He, a high-level mage, can tell that.

Not the impressive type at all.

Summoned beasts are the foundation of a summoner mage.

Lin Mian, who came from an ordinary background, was paired with a mediocre summoned beast. Without sufficient financial resources and support to nurture it, it was essentially useless.

Breaking through to the intermediate level is a problem.

Magic, in the end, is still a game for players who spend real money.

Two years later, Yu'ang is sure to win!

Despite the strong doubts around him, Lin Mian seemed completely unconcerned.

The outcome he was seeing was exactly what he wanted.

He displayed enough talent to take the top spot and secure the Spirit-level Stardust Magic Artifact promised by Tang Yue.

At the same time, he deliberately made Mika hide the source of light and expose his own shortcomings, so that he could win with just the right amount of slight advantage.

It would not attract covetousness and fear due to being too overpowered, and it would also dispel Mu He's murderous intent and make Mu Zhuoyun give up the idea of ​​winning him over.

Everything was perfect.

Everything is under control.

Lin Mian will definitely make Mu Zhuoyun and the others change their expressions then.

……

After the annual performance review was completed, Lin Mian was called to the principal's office.

Principal Zhu handed over the spirit-grade stardust artifact given to him by Tang Yue to Lin Mian and spoke first.

What follows is of paramount importance to Principal Zhu and to Tianlan Magic High School.

"Lin Mian, there are some things we need to tell you seriously."

Lin Mian stood there, listening attentively.

"Every year, there is a sparring match between students from Tianlan Magic High School and scions of aristocratic families."

"This sparring match is also related to the cultivation spots for the Earthly Sacred Spring. Our Tianlan Magic High School has been losing every single year!"

Upon hearing this, Principal Zhu's face immediately darkened.

Principal Zhu has always been committed to cultivating grassroots monks, while Mu Zhuoyun is the local tyrant of Bocheng.

The two had been locked in a fierce rivalry for many years, and Principal Zhu had lost for many years as well.

"I know... oh, I mean, I know there's a sacred spring in Bo City," Lin Mian said.

"Mu Zhuoyun has an adopted son who is the same age as you. When you both come of age, it will be a duel between the two of you."

"You're going against an entire family, Lin Mian. I know you're under a lot of pressure!"

Although Mo Fan was also very strong, Principal Zhu knew that Lin Mian's summoned creatures were elemental beings, and he had high hopes for him.

However, Lin Mian had no background, yet he had to fight against an entire family.

Lin Mian nodded.

pressure?

What kind of pressure?

To be honest, Lin Mian felt no pressure from Yu Ang at all.

Because his Mika needed a lot of resources to evolve, he chose to leave Bo City temporarily not long after.

I wonder what interesting things will happen.

Once Lin Mian has cultivated the Light Summoning System to the third level of the initial stage using the Spirit-level Stardust Magic Artifact given by Teacher Tang Yue, he will move on to a bigger stage.

Then we'll come back and give Yu Ang a good beating, and take over the Holy Spring.

Although Mika is a light element, he can definitely evolve through the Earthly Holy Spring!

"Eminent families and clans can concentrate their resources on an outstanding scion, and the nurturing and training they receive from a young age is incomparable to the 'iron rice bowl' system of our schools."

"But Lin Mian, I see hope in you."

"The school will do everything it can to nurture you! Just tell us what you need."

Principal Zhu has made up his mind to cultivate Lin Mian.

Yu Ang, who has had his family's resources poured into him, is certainly powerful, but Tianlan Magic High School must still crush the Mu family once!

Lin Mian was moved after hearing Principal Zhu's words.

Principal Zhu has always stood on the side of ordinary students, and he is willing to withstand the pressure from powerful families and clans to protect them, which is truly commendable.

"Principal Zhu, I plan to go to a big city to develop my career soon."

"When I get back, I'll definitely beat Yu'ang to a pulp! I'll bring glory to you and to Tianlan Magic High School!"

Lin Mian firmly stated his thoughts.

There's a saying that goes like this: This departure is only for a better reunion.

Moreover, the disaster in Bo City occurred right after the magical duel.

Without sufficient strength, many people around Lin Mian would die.

In the original story, Principal Zhu died in the Bo City disaster...

Lin Mian would never let such a people's teacher be sacrificed!

Furthermore, Lin Mian has lived in Bocheng for over a decade and has a deep love for this land!

Therefore, he must possess the power to change the situation.

Principal Zhu was taken aback for a moment when he heard Lin Mian's idea, then nodded.

Lin Mian faced a lot of criticism today, but he endured it all, which is quite remarkable for someone his age.

His decision to leave Bocheng for a bigger city and return in a better position is indeed a good one.

"It's right for you to go to big cities to seek opportunities and acquire resources."

"If we don't fight, how can we compete with the Mu family?"

Principal Zhu didn't want Lin Mian to leave either, but there was really nothing he could do about it.

Leaving is for a better future.

The resources of Bo City have long been monopolized by families, hindering the development of too many grassroots mages.

Lin Mian will go to a big city, and then come back to participate in the magic duel and take the college entrance examination.

It will surely make the name of Bocheng resound throughout the entire China!

Seeing that Principal Zhu agreed, Lin Mian nodded solemnly.

Principal Zhu then remembered something else: "The field training will be coming up soon, so I'd like to ask Lin Mian to lead the students in the top class."

"Yes, Principal Zhu!"

Wilderness training was no challenge for Lin Mian; in fact, it was an opportunity to make money.

Bai Yang was the examiner for the wilderness training, and the released Youlang beast was part of the assessment.

Finding him would also bring a considerable reward.

Bai Yang is a black-robed priest, and his head is worth nine million!

After his training in the wild, Lin Mian should head off.

……

Because he won first place in his grade, the school rewarded Lin Mian with a mortal-level Stardust Magic Artifact.

However, since Lin Mian already had the Spirit-level Stardust Magic Artifact given to him by Tang Yue, he gave the one from the school to Mo Fan.

To be precise, it was deliberately given to the little loach.

As expected, the little mudfish swallowed the Stardust Artifact whole and completed its evolution once again.

This made Mo Fan extremely flustered, and he kept calling Lin Mian "Brother Mian".

Finally, Lin Mian asked Tang Yue to help Mo Fan resolve the matter. It can be said that Tang Yue's role was once again demonstrated.

……

Time flies when you're practicing; another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Tianlan Magic High School chartered an entire bus to take the students who were about to participate in the training to the Xuefeng Mountain Station in Bocheng.

On the bus, all the students were beaming with joy, their eyes filled with anticipation for their outdoor adventure.

demon!

Now that they have mastered magic, they really want to see what demons look like.

One spell, and even if a horde of demons came, they wouldn't stand a chance, right?

Magic will always prevail over demons.

This is the opinion of most students on the bus.

"Mo Fan, Monkey, I'll take you on a trip!"

Lin Mian said to Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou, who were sitting next to him.

"Brother Mian, those are demons, you can't call it tourism."

"Demons are portrayed as terrifying in textbooks!"

Zhang Xiaohou said to Lin Mian in a naive way.

Mo Fan laughed upon hearing this: "Hahaha, if Old Mian says it's a vacation, then it really is a vacation!"

"Don't worry, monkey!"

Mo Fan had hunted demons with Lin Mian several times, so how could he not know Lin Mian's demon-hunting skills?

Zhang Xiaohou scratched his head, completely bewildered.

Are you really going on vacation?
