Chapter 58

Lin Chen VS 5 Mid-Level Mages

"How is this possible? It's actually a War General level!" Lu Ming exclaimed.

The freshmen in the audience, who had initially thought Lu Ming was about to win, were suddenly stunned.

Lin Chen's summoned beast is actually a warrior-level beast. No wonder he beats up the other students like they're babies. It turns out that to him, these people really are still babies.

"You can try letting the lightning strike down and see if your lightning is faster or my Gilbeast's claws are faster!" Lin Chen gave Lu Ming the choice back.

Looking at the Guilmon ahead, Lu Ming ultimately decided not to unleash his lightning. Although there was a high chance that the lightning would hit the Guilmon, it would only cause damage to the already warrior-level Guilmon and would not pose a fatal threat.

Just as Lin Chen guessed, the reason he went on stage was because he believed he would win; he had no intention of getting hurt in order to help others.

With Lu Ming's surrender, Lin Chen won another round, leaving him with only fifty people left to reach the two hundred mark.

……

"Dean, I think we need to reconsider the allocation of resources," said Zhou Zhenghua, the head of the Earth Science Department, somewhat uneasily.

"What, you don't want to gamble anymore now? It's too late," Jiang Yunming said, trying to stop him.

"That's not what I meant. If Lin Chen wins the bet, I'll still give you the money. It's just that giving all the resources to the Summoning Department will probably cause a lot of trouble," Zhou Zhenghua said with a wry smile. The other department heads echoed his sentiments.

Jiang Yunming retorted, "I think it's great that all the resources are given to my summoning class. After so many years, it's time for us summoning classes to reap the rewards."

"When I made this challenge before, I didn't see any of you objecting when Lin Chen accepted it. Besides, Lin Chen consciously increased the number of participants to the entire school. If anyone is not satisfied, just go up and fight him. If you win, that's all that matters." Dean Xiao showed no intention of retracting his decision.

The other school leaders looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

Previously, when Lin Chen issued this challenge, he relied solely on a summoned beast comparable to a warrior-level expert. He believed that as long as there were enough people, he could stall and win.

He's a true warrior now. To beat him, all the mid-level mages from the major families present would have to join forces, but those are all arrogant and wouldn't easily gang up on a classmate of the same level.

……

"195!" Dean Xiao announced loudly to all the teachers and students.

Upon hearing this, the Qingdou Hall fell silent once again.

Lin Chen only needs one more round to complete the school's challenge. What remains is Lin Chen's promise to the teachers and students present. If he can't win this round, even if he wins the rest, it will be considered a loss due to exhaustion, and it won't count as a successful thwart by the freshmen present. That wouldn't be a victory, nor would it be very honorable.

After waiting for five minutes without seeing anyone come down, Lin Chen had no choice but to remind them, "I haven't even reached two hundred people yet, and you're not coming down? This is practically admitting defeat in advance, so I'll reluctantly accept it!"

"I didn't want to make a move, but it wouldn't be good if I didn't fall for their tricks and they accused me of being cowardly and afraid to fight!" A tall man in the crowd slowly stood up from his chair, his eyes revealing composure and confidence.

As the man arrived at the entrance to the iron cage barrier, his identity was revealed by the students present.

"It's Bai Zangfeng from the Bai family. Finally, a master has appeared."

"Sister Mu, you should help too! This Lin Chen is too arrogant and too wicked. As a member of a big family, he's stealing everyone's resources." A girl with a baby face and big breasts said while hugging a stunningly beautiful woman with a long ponytail.

The woman nodded, stood up, and walked towards the iron cage barrier.

"It's Mu Nujiao from the Mu family! Another expert!"

"Since Jiaojiao has joined in, I'll play with that kid for a while too!"

A man stood up from his seat, and his identity was quickly revealed: Shen Mingxiao, a mid-level mage.

"Although I don't want to bully the weak with numbers, resources should be left for those who need them, not squandered by a rich kid with connections." A girl stood up from her seat in the Fire Academy.

"It's Song Xia, the top scorer in our city's college entrance examination. She was already a mid-level mage during the magic college entrance examination."

"There are already four people, adding me will make it just right."

Another student stood up from the Fire Element Academy seats; the newcomer was Dongfang Yun from the Dongfang family.

"Finally you've stepped up. I thought you mid-level mages were going to wait until I was exhausted before you came out."

Looking at the five people in front of him, Lin Chen made some joking remarks, but he became wary in his heart. These were all elites from universities and should not be underestimated.

"I didn't want to fight you, but it's better for each department's resources to stay with their own departments!" Song Xia spoke first. "If you admit defeat now, it's not too late."

"What do you guys think too?" Lin Chen tilted his head.

"You've said such arrogant things, I don't think you'll admit defeat, so let's have a fight! The outcome will be decided by the winner!" Mu Nujiao said.

Actually, rather than saying she was persuaded by Ai Tutu, it would be more accurate to say that she, being a battle-hungry demon, wanted to challenge a warrior-level summoned beast herself.

"You understand me quite well. I said I'd fight until you submit, so I won't give up easily." Lin Chen smiled slightly and let Guilmon launch an attack.

"Ground wave - collapse!"

Bai Zangfeng was the first to unleash earth magic, slowing down the attack speed of the Gil Beast and allowing his companions to complete the drawing of the intermediate star map.

"Wind Disc - Tornado!" Mu Nujiao was the first to complete the release of the intermediate-level spell.

A whirlwind as tall as a building instantly formed, howling as it swept towards the Gilmon.

Affected by the ground wave, the Gilmon was unable to dodge in time and was swept into the whirlwind, thrown high into the air, several meters high.

"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"

Song Xia and Dongfang Yun simultaneously completed the drawing of the star map, and two huge fiery fists, one on the left and one on the right, shot towards the Guilmon!

"Roar!" The bound Gilmon unleashed its dragon might once more, its target aimed directly at Mu Nujiao.

Affected by the dragon's might, Mu Nujiao's mind wavered, causing her to veer off course and allowing the Gilmon to break free from its grasp.

The two giant fiery fists collided, and the enormous explosive force struck the Guilmon falling from the sky, sending it crashing to the ground at an incredible speed.

Guilmon unleashed a burst of flame at the ground, and a recoil force from the ground slowed Guilmon's rapid descent.

With a thud, the Gilmon pushed off the ground with both legs the instant it landed, charging towards Song Xia, who was closest to it.

"Radiance - Blindness!"

A bright light flashed, and Guilmon instinctively closed its eyes, while Song Xia, with the help of Bai Zangfeng's Earth Wave Shift, quickly moved away from Guilmon.

When the Gilmon's vision cleared again, Shen Mingxiao had also completed his magic release.

Another magical whirlwind swept towards Guilmon.

Looking at Guilmon, who was temporarily suppressed in the arena, Lin Chen smiled. This was more interesting; otherwise, even if he won against the whole school, it wouldn't be convincing at all.
