Upon arriving at the registration area below, Jiang Han tapped on the table and said, "Teacher, I want to register to participate in the competition. Um, I'm going to help out in the Summoning Department group, don't get it wrong." Jiang Han emphasized that he was going to the Summoning Department, not challenging the Summoning Department.
Wang Ling recognized Jiang Han as soon as he walked over. Jiang Han had left a deep impression on him. He was the student that the directors of the Ice Academy and Thunder Academy were vying for. How could he not remember him?
"Huh? Going to help out in the Summoning Department, not to challenge the remaining Summoning Department student?" Wang Ling paused, stopping his pen. He didn't fill in Jiang Han's registration information. Wang Ling asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
"No, do you think you can joke about something like this? A beast fighting competition definitely involves beast fighting. Since the summoning people can't step in right away, I'll just go and join in the fun. The little fox in my arms is my summoned beast." Jiang Han said, and then let Wang Ling take a look at the little fox he was holding. You have to admit, it was quite cute with its fluffy fur.
"I can't make that decision. Why don't you come with me and ask Dean Xiao?"
After Wang Ling finished speaking, he got up and led Jiang Han to the seat where Dean Xiao was sitting. Jiang Han's situation was the first of its kind in all the years that the freshman welcome competition had been held. Wang Ling really couldn't make a decision and had to ask Dean Xiao for instructions.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Han, Dean Xiao had noticed him as he stood up, a subtle smile playing on his lips.
After arriving at the seats occupied by Dean Xiao and the other department leaders, Wang Ling explained Jiang Han's situation. Everyone except Dean Xiao was stunned. What was going on? Representing the Summoning Department on stage? This was truly…
"Are you going to represent the Summoning system?" Dean Xiao asked casually.
Jiang Han nodded and said, "Hmm, is that not allowed?"
"Sure, but there might be a slight change to the freshman orientation competition this time. I will announce it personally later."
"Couldn't you have mentioned what changes were coming up in advance?"
Dean Xiao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Go down and prepare. My requirement for you is simple: don't kill."
Just after Jiang Han left, Dean Xiao instructed someone to inform the students from the main campus to prepare for their upcoming performance. He wondered if Jiang Han would be furious if he knew about Dean Xiao's arrangements.
A few minutes later, Jiang Han walked from the Summoning Department's position into the arena, leaving the six Summoning Department students somewhat bewildered.
"What's going on? Who is he? Why is he coming up from our summoning department?"
"Is he from our Summoning Department? Aren't there only seven of us in the Summoning Department?"
"I'm not sure, it shouldn't be one of our summoning types."
As the six Summoning Department students speculated about why Jiang Han entered the arena from their Summoning Department's entrance, Dean Xiao's voice once again resounded throughout the Qingdou Hall, saying, "The Freshman Welcome Competition is about to conclude. This year's competition includes students who are intermediate-level mages, so a small change has been made. You will be playing a friendly match with your seniors from the main campus. Those who perform well in the friendly match will be qualified to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation."
As soon as Dean Xiao finished speaking, the Qingdou Hall erupted in an uproar, with everyone discussing this special friendly match.
"The qualification to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower? What's that?"
"Brother, you must know about the Three-Step Tower of our Pearl Academy, right? The Three-Step Tower is the foundation that allows our Pearl Academy to stand out among all the academies in the country. I heard that the concentration of magical elements on the first floor is 20 times that of the outside world, the concentration on the second floor is the same as the outside world, and the concentration on the third floor can reach 80 times. I don't know if there are any higher levels."
"Holy crap, this three-step tower is amazing! What are we waiting for? Let's go sign up!"
"Heh, you overestimate yourself. Do you know why the school is divided into the main campus and the green campus? Our green campus is generally for freshmen and seniors who are still at the beginner level, while the students in the main campus have all reached the intermediate level of mage."
"Oh, does that mean we have no chance?"
"We may not have a chance, but those hidden big shots might. That fat guy named Rosson might have a chance to succeed."
"Look, another summoner has entered the arena." Someone suddenly said this, and the students then noticed that Jiang Han was already standing in the center of the arena. He had come out from the summoner's direction.
It's important to know that all the departments in the academy are eyeing the Summoning Department covetously, each wanting to be the one to crush it so they can seize its resources. Luo Song was stunned when he saw Jiang Han emerge. He'd seen Jiang Han on the day of the assessment; hadn't he been taken away by the Thunder Academy's director? How come he's representing the Summoning Department in the Beast Fighting Competition?
"Aren't you from Thunder Academy? How come you're representing the Summoning Department in the Beast Fighting Competition?" Ross asked nervously.
How could he not panic? He vividly remembered the strength Jiang Han displayed during the assessment: mid-level level 2 lightning and mid-level level 3 ice. How was he supposed to fight him? Was he just going to go up there and get completely crushed?
"Why can't I participate in the beast fighting competition if I have a summoned beast? I just wanted to join in the fun," Jiang Han said with a smile.
Damn it, what's wrong with us? I just wanted to come to Mingzhu Academy to put people down and show my dad that I'm just as good as everyone else. Why are you making things so difficult for me?
Luo Song didn't want to fight someone as powerful as Jiang Han, so he shouted to Dean Xiao, "Dean Xiao, why is he from the Thunder Academy allowed to represent the Summoning Department in the Beast Fighting Competition?"
"This student representing the Summoning Department in this Beast Fighting Competition is a last-minute arrangement. He's a freshman and a student from the main campus. If you can defeat him, you'll get a week of training in the Three-Step Tower," Dean Xiao explained calmly.
Dean Xiao's words made the students of Qingdou Hall's eyes light up, and they looked at Jiang Han as if he were their prey.
"Can we challenge Dean Xiao?" a senior student from the main campus asked, having just come out of the lounge.
They were at the bottom of their respective colleges on the main campus and had no chance to train at the Three-Step Tower. Today's competition tempted them; if they could train at the Three-Step Tower for a week, they wouldn't be at the bottom of their colleges anymore.
"Okay, but if you lose, you will have two weeks' worth of cultivation resources deducted."
Jiang Han had a bad feeling about things. It was like he'd fallen into a trap, and it was Dean Xiao who had dug it for him. Could it be that Dean Xiao was digging this trap for him while he was watching him? That was really...
"So that's why they let me represent the Summoning Department in the Beast Fighting Tournament so readily. They were waiting for me here all along."
Jiang Han took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration in his heart. He would never admit defeat and be eliminated. So what if he was challenged? He would just wait and see. He refused to believe it.
"I give up." Given the situation, Luo Song readily admitted defeat.
The six or seven people who went on the field with him were left completely bewildered. A few of them whispered among themselves, "Did that Rossoneri only admit defeat because he ran out of magic energy?"
"Possibly, but why worry so much? Less people means less competition."
"Well then, let's each rely on our own abilities later."
Jiang Han gently placed Xue Ling on the ground, a move that baffled many students. They didn't understand what Jiang Han was up to; why send a pet instead of a summoned beast?
"Hey, where's your summoned beast?" a man with a buzz cut asked.
Jiang Han glanced at the man with the buzz cut and said disdainfully, "That's him, are you blind?"
