Trim Trim Trim

"Hello, what kind of important matters do you have this time?" The phone rang and a middle-aged man answered, he was wearing a suit and tie.

"I see transfer the call to me." The middle-aged man's voice was hoarse and thick.

"Xiao Chun, how are you?" An aged voice was heard from the other end of the phone.

"Dean Zhan, did something happen? It's rare for you to call me. "The person on the other end of the phone was Zhan Yu, the dean of East University.

"Xiao Chun, I have found an interesting subject, but I cannot speak deeply. But I can give you a warning at least. "

"Did something happen to Song Jia?" The middle-aged man spoke worriedly, he knew Song Jia was a student at East University, so he thought the dean had called to talk about it. The middle-aged man was named Xiao Chun, he was the father of Xiao Mei.

"I can't deny that it happened to her, but you don't have to worry about it, it has nothing to do with injuries or anything like that. I'm just here to give you a little advice: Be careful with your decisions. "Zhan Yu spoke with a solemn tone before hanging up.

"Dean Zhan" Before Xiao Chun could ask what was going on, the dean turns off the phone.

"Teacher, what are you trying to say?" Xiao Chun was confused by what just happened, he just knew it was Song Jia related, but he didn't know what it was. He wanted to call Song Jia and find out what had happened, but when he thought of Dean Zhan's advice, he was apprehensive.

"Looks like I'll have to wait for the situation to unfold to see what happens ..." Xiao Chun sighed as he spoke those words.

Xiao Chun was once a student of Zhang Yu when he was still a college student, he always respected his teacher. And even these days, he still respects Zhang Yu.

After Zhang Yu left the restaurant, he went to the hotel and called Xiao Chun to give him advice.

The only thing Zhang Yu could do now is to pray that his student will not make any wrong choices that will harm him and his clan.

The next day

Rumors about Liu Yang, Liu Xia, Xiao Mei and Song Jia being called to lunch with the five deans were spread among the students. Rumors had already been spread yesterday after the group left for lunch, but the group only heard this when they arrived at the stadium.

As they walked to the stadium, high school and college students were looking at the group with envious and jealous glances, as it was not anyone who had the opportunity to eat lunch with the five deans of the five most renowned universities in the country.

Many were wondering what kind of topics the group talked about during lunch. But they could only imagine.

When the group arrived at the stadium, many East and North School students were looking at Liu Yang and his group. They were the center of attention this time, but they pretended not to care about their eyes and focused on the arena.

The stadium started to get fuller over time.

Tong Tong

The bell rang and the two groups of students appeared in the arena, both sides looking at each other with solemn eyes. Despite that look, his thoughts were elsewhere, they were all thinking about what Liu Yang's group talked to the dean's group.

That was the curiosity of everyone, including the principals and teachers of the five schools.

"Today is the day of group battle. The rules are the same as yesterday. Get ready. "The judge looked both ways before giving the warning for the start of the match.

Both sides were facing each other solemnly, no student moved. However, that does not mean that they were doing nothing, on the contrary, the concentration of magical energy was getting higher with each passing second.

Since they were mages who were trained to use spells rather than the power of the elements, they had to accumulate power before casting spells unless they used the magic artifacts, but that was something no one wanted to do. The magical artifacts were the trump cards these young people wanted to keep for a school competition and not to use in a mere training match.

The audience understood that the fight will end in just a moment.

The magical energy began to become so concentrated that the particles could be seen with the naked eye.

"Attack !!!" Both sides shouted at the same time after they managed to gather enough magic energy. The arena looked like a big bright light show.

Booom !!!! Booom !!!! Booom !!!! Booom !!!!

Eight large explosions were heard successively. Each student cast their magic and pointed to the opposite side.

A large amount of dust was raised, which completely covered the arena.

A few seconds later

The dust was slowly lowered, it took some time for the students to be shown. Half of the Northern School group was down, while the entire group of the East School students was down. The victory of this round was from the Northern School.

The following day's duel was the same, the two groups channeled their powers before using only one spell to end the fight. They just needed to do it and nothing more. However, the victory of the time went to East School.

Both groups were able to estimate the powers of each of the members of the other group. They will use this as the basic information to strategize during the Five School Competition.

The small dispute between the two colleges ended, there was no clear winner, but each side managed to collect precious information about their opponents.

After the dispute was over, the students were given four days to rest. Students could visit the university, walk around town, or do anything else they wanted before returning to school. If the student wanted, he could come back before

Liu Yang and his group chose to return because they had things to do in private. Xiao Mei and Song Jia stayed at Liu Yang's house for three days, during which time, the four played in bed every day. Sometimes it was one at a time while other times it was in a group. In the end, the group was fully satisfied before Xiao Mei and Song Jia returned home.

Liu Xia punished Liu Yang on the fourth day of rest, she didn't let him do anything that day. The couple spent twenty-four hours inside the room, they practiced all kinds of positions and perverted things, this happened because Liu Xia found out that Liu Yang had a lot of adult movies on his computer and decided to try some new things.

The days passed slowly

With each passing day, the Five School Competition day approached. A month before the competition, the selection of the thirty students who will represent each of the schools began. Ten students for each of the high school years.

The selection was quite simple. To be one of the ten chosen, the student needed to show that he had these requirements: high cultivation level, depending on the high school year, high attack power, spell casting speed and control.

Priority requirements were high cultivation level, attack power, and spell casting speed. Control of magical energy was the least important requirement, at least for high school students.

To test students, schools placed machines to evaluate student performance, the higher the result, the higher the probability that students would be accepted as one of the ten team members.

Despite taking more time to evaluate students, schools allowed students from their worst classes to participate, this was to seem fairer to everyone. But to everyone's surprise, there were indeed some good students who outperformed the first-class students.

Because of this, the students in the early classes, who lost their positions to the worst students, were not happy about it, as it was a humiliation to them. These students in the first classes challenged the results, but there was nothing the schools could do, as the results were clear and the machine was not defective, and teachers could see the difference between student performance.

Due to this humiliation, the students who were from the first classes began to intimidate the humble students, who stole their places, that was their thought, they did not think their efforts were not enough to get the place.

Schools predicted this would happen and prevented it before something bad happened.

At East School was no different, Liu Yang, Liu Xia and Xiao Mei were approved as members of the groups. The two girls had no problem being accepted, as one was the most prominent freshman while the other was a student in class B. However, Liu Yang being accepted was a different thing, he besides the fact that he was someone in class F, he also failed to reach the points needed to be a candidate.

Liu Yang was recommended again because the principal and teacher Cao Wen intervened again and recommended him again.

At first, Liu Yang wanted to decline, but after hearing that Cao Wen was doing so at the request of his parents, Liu Yang was shocked. Cao Wen showed Liu Yang a message from his parents before taking a deep breath and accepted, he didn't know why his parents had asked him to do something like that, but he agreed to do it.

For the students to approve Liu Yang as a staff member, the principal proposed to the nine students on the list, he excluded Liu Xia because she would not fight Liu Yang.

At first, it seemed like a big joke, as a freshman in class F couldn't beat nine freshmen who were considered the most prominent in the school.

But reality turned out differently, in an instant, Liu Yang defeated all nine in an instant using his control of the elements. Like in the duel against Yao Mu, Liu Yang create a wind swirled around the nine students' heads and made them all faint.

The speed of creating a phenomenon using magic energy was dozens of times faster than casting a spell, because of that, Liu Yang had a lot of advantages that others didn't.

After this fight, the students accepted Liu Yang as a staff member, although there was some resentment for the humiliation he gave to the nine students.
