Chapter 26 Mo Fan angrily berates Mu Zhuoyun
After the task was completed, the assessment continued.
The problematic star-sensing stone was replaced, and the bald examiner was dismissed on the spot. There will likely be other punishments later.
Mu Heling Tianyu may be unable to move at the moment, but dealing with a mere bald accomplice is still quite easy.
In the second test, Ling Tianyu controlled his magic energy output to roughly reach S-rank, which was enough to pass the test. Let Mo Fan take first place.
After all, the quality of the academy's Stardust Magic Artifact is incomparable to that of his own Little Qilin.
During the subsequent magic release, Ling Tianyu also held back, deliberately slowing down the star orbit connection rate, and only completing the release after about six seconds.
"Vines grow!"
The lush vines coiled around the puppet precisely, and with just a little force, the puppet could be retired.
"b!"
The score from the magic release was also within Ling Tianyu's expectations.
"Just a B-rank, mediocre at best!" Mu Zhuoyun shook his head, somewhat disappointed. He had originally planned to use the Mu family's resources to cultivate Ling Tianyu, but his performance was truly disappointing.
"Ning Xue, you..."
Mu Zhuoyun turned to look at his daughter, only to see her still intently staring at that brat.
"Ning Xue, what's so interesting about this kid!" Mu Zhuoyun was filled with resentment. Why was Mu Ning Xue so obsessed with this wild boy?
…………
Next up is Mo Fan. As expected, Mo Fan won first place with a "S" grade fire-type stardust and an "A" grade release.
Zhou Min's delicate face was filled with shock. Could this be Mo Fan's true strength, and that he had been hiding his true abilities all along?
The unmotivated student I always disliked was actually better than Mu Bai?
Mu Bai's expression twisted. It was one thing for Ling Tianyu to be his equal, but he never expected that even his son, a mere driver, would be stronger than him.
By this time, most students had finished their assessments, making the situation in Class 8 the focus of attention.
"I thought Xu Zhaoting and Mu Bai were invincible, but I didn't expect there to be someone even stronger than them. Whose subordinate is this?"
"Is he still the worst student in our class?"
"Mo Fan has turned his life around!"
"Brother Fan is invincible! Brother Fan is awesome!"
…………
Looking at the students below, some with shock and disbelief, others with eyes blazing with jealousy, and still others with faces twisted like a scheming man, Mo Fan felt a secret thrill. This feeling of playing dumb to fool others was actually quite nice.
As expected, I'm the main character!
Mu Zhuoyun showed appreciation and thought to himself, "Our Mu family is an ice-type family, and we don't have many fire-type mages. Why not give him some incentive and let him serve the Mu family?"
Mu Zhuoyun pondered for a moment, then said, "Mo Fan, come here!"
Mo Fan walked up to Mu Zhuoyun, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Mu Ningxue. It was a pity that he and Mu Ningxue were destined to be apart in this life. Mo Fan knew her personality very well. Once she set her mind on someone, she would never accept another.
"Get to the point!"
Mo Fan was impatient. The only thing Mu Zhuoyun could be proud of was that she had given birth to a beautiful daughter. It was just a pity that he could only look at her but not eat her. In that sense, he had no worries.
Mu Zhuoyun was furious. He took a deep breath and said, "Our Mu family recently acquired some fire-elemental resources. From now on, you can..."
"Impossible!" As the proud protagonist, how could Mo Fan submit to anyone! Besides, with his past life experiences as a foundation, he had already completely seen through the true colors of these seemingly respectable but actually monstrous people. They were still twenty thousand years away from making the great Mo Fan submit!
Mu Zhuoyun's expression stiffened, and he glared at him, puffing out his beard, and said, "Say that again!"
"I'm telling you, are you out of your mind?!"
"Fine, very well!" Mu Zhuoyun laughed angrily, saying viciously, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
"An explanation? Of course there is, three years ago..." Mo Fan's heart skipped a beat before he could finish his sentence.
Oh no! It seems he didn't elope with Mu Ningxue in this world, and his father is still the driver for the Mu family. With him causing trouble, his father's job is probably going to be ruined!
Damn it, it's all because of what this guy did in my past life that went too far, and I just blurted it out without thinking.
Not to mention Mu Zhuoyun, even Mu Ningxue's face darkened. Her father had been scolded by Mo Fan for no reason. How could she, as his daughter, remain silent?
Ling Tianyu was helpless. Mo Fan really became the focus of attention wherever he went. Even though he had tried his best to avoid it, Mo Fan still clashed with the Mu family.
Now don't expect Mu Ningxue to speak up for him; their childhood friendship has long been ruined by his arrogant words.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" In his rage, Mu Zhuoyun's feet suddenly froze into solid blocks of ice, the cold air representing his pent-up anger!
Even the high-ranking members of the Hunter Alliance and the city government leaders treated him with utmost respect; only the heads of the military, subordinate to the state apparatus, could disregard his authority. Yes, he couldn't touch Ling Tianyu, the descendant of a martyr, but dealing with Mo Fan, a mere driver's son, was still easy!
This aura, this is true ice. Even Mu Ningxue's spirit-level ice vine power pales in comparison to Mu Zhuoyun's ice-based abilities.
"Hey, let's make a move!"
Ling Tianyu used his plant vine whip to wrap around Mo Fan's waist and retreat from Mu Zhuoyun's ice-type range, but he didn't notice that Tang Yue's eyes were fixed on him.
"His casting speed and mastery of magic are exceptionally good. This kid definitely held back his plant-based abilities in the recent test!"
Deng Kai stepped forward, blocking Mu Zhuoyun's path, and said, "Zhuoyun, control your emotions. There are still many students here who have no means of defense."
Tang Yue turned around, her eyes fixed on Mu Zhuoyun. As a teacher, she would not allow this ice-type clan leader to harm her student.
"Tianyu, thanks!" Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude.
"Mo Fan, you bastard, apologize to Mr. Zhuo Yun right now!" Mu He roared in anger.
"The words have already been spoken, and I absolutely cannot take them back!" Mo Fan stared intently at Mu Zhuoyun.
"Don't think I don't know. My father is a very honest and simple man, and he's suffered a lot of injustice in your Mu family. I'm standing up for him!"
Mo Fan's strong sense of justice and hatred for evil is indeed commendable, but at this moment he is somewhat overestimating himself. The atmosphere became tense once again. Ling Tianyu, Zhang Xiaohou, and others who had a good relationship with Mo Fan stood beside him. With Teacher Tang Yue's support, their momentum was somewhat inferior to that of the Mu family on the other side.
School board member Deng Kai finally intervened to smooth things over, and everything returned to normal. Mo Fan and Yu Ang made a two-year agreement to compete against each other before the college entrance examination. (Of course, there was no scene of annulment.)
All I can say is that the original work's revisions were terrifyingly powerful.
"Thanks!" Mo Fan was deeply moved. Out of so many people in Class 8, only the two of them stood firmly by his side. These were true brothers!
"It's nothing, just doing what I could to help someone in need," Ling Tianyu shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.
"Yeah, Fan-ge, we've been together since we were kids, when have we ever left you behind!" Zhang Xiaohou patted Mo Fan's shoulder in a comforting manner.
"Oh, right, I also want to thank Teacher Tang Yue..."
"Is your 'thank you' serious?"
…………
After the annual assessment, Mo Fan's reputation soared, earning him the nickname "Iron-Headed Kid" throughout the school. Only Mo Fan, a commoner student, would dare to stage an accident involving a top-tier family.
As expected, Ling Tianyu, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and others successfully advanced to the elite class. Mo Fan ranked first, Ling Tianyu relied on his rare plant-type ability to surpass Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, and others to rank second, and Zhang Xiaohou also ranked well, ranking sixth in the class.
The top class of one hundred students can basically master the seven stars, but the vast majority of them are not very proficient in releasing them.
The practical training teacher was undoubtedly Tang Yue; it's unlikely you'd find another teacher in the entire school with comparable skill. The homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, had students who swept the top three spots in the entire school, earning him a substantial bonus.
After the assessment, it was summer vacation, and students gradually left school.
Mo Fan hooked his arm around Ling Tianyu's neck and said with a grin, "Tianyu, this time you're the one on top!"
Ling Tianyu slapped Mo Fan's savage hand away and said irritably, "You've offended Mu Zhuoyun, and you're not even thinking about your future! Your father's driver job is most likely gone!"
"How can you be such a spoilsport?" Mo Fan said, displeased.
"Brother Fan, the Mu family is at least a local tyrant..." Zhang Xiaohou chimed in from the side.
"Fine, so you're all ganging up on me!"
…………
Amidst the playful noise, the three figures disappeared into the distance, leaving Tang Yue standing proudly at the school gate, lost in thought.
"Ling Tianyu's magical skills are definitely more than they appear on the surface. It seems I need to investigate his background."
