The next day, morning.
The nomination competition venue.
"Next up, please welcome Group 11—Gu Jian, Liu Xin, Li Jieyan, and Lu Jie!!"
"Damn it, how did I get lost again?" Mo Fan scratched his head, looking confused.
I've been at Mingzhu Academy for two years now, how could I still get lost? I wandered around aimlessly for ages and still didn't know which way to go.
Dead trees, paths, classrooms, research labs, training grounds... Where the hell am I?
That bastard Lao Lu, he didn't even call me before leaving the house. Doesn't he know I have no sense of direction?
"Damn, the library, finally found a landmark." Mo Fan walked through a man-made forest and finally returned to a familiar route.
Upon arriving at the library's main entrance, Mo Fan happened to see a woman with black hair adorned with numerous small crystals. She floated out like a pure white, flawless cloud, gracefully carrying several books in her arms, her steps light and her figure elegant...
"Mo Fan?" The woman spotted him immediately and called out with a hint of confusion.
"Ding Yumin?" Mo Fan turned his head and gave an awkward smile.
"Are you lost?" Ding Yumin asked, blinking her big eyes.
"..." Mo Fan was speechless for a moment. No, could you not say it so bluntly?
"Excuse me, where is the venue for the nomination round?" Mo Fan asked.
"What, are you competing?" Ding Yumin walked ahead to lead the way for Mo Fan.
"No, I'm watching my buddy Lu Jie's game," Mo Fan said.
Ding Yumin nodded slightly. So it was him.
We arrived at the competition venue with this directionally challenged person; the competition was already nearing its end.
When they arrived, the entire competition stage was covered by towering trees. Lu Jie stood on top of the wooden dragon head, and behind and below him, Gu Jian and the other two could only hold popcorn.
"It's too salty," Liu Xin said.
"I think so too," Li Jieyan nodded in agreement.
"I think it's alright, the taste is just right," Gu Jian said.
"Did those three just get carried to victory?" Ding Yumin found a comfortable seat and sat down, watching the competition stage with great interest, her beautiful and charming eyes sparkling with a strange light.
"Of course, Old Lu is always inexplicably strong. I'm sure he has a lot of hidden cards up his sleeve." Mo Fan sat casually in the empty seat next to him.
"Is that so?" Ding Yumin responded, and then fell silent.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Will you surrender or not?" Lu Jie stood atop the wooden dragon head, looking down at the four people trapped in the forest below.
Bai Yulang gritted his teeth. What incredible luck did Team 11 have? How the hell did they get matched with such a pro?!
How are we supposed to fight like this?
"Bai Yulang, you might as well just surrender. You saw what Team 13 looked like yesterday. My brother Jie knocked them down with a single drift. If you don't want to experience that feeling, just surrender." Gu Jian already had a falling out with Bai Yulang, and he seized this opportunity to mock him.
"Don't get cocky!" Bai Yulang roared.
"Exactly, you guys who just win by doing nothing don't have any real skills!" The other three members of Team 16 chimed in.
"Heh heh, we're just going to win by lying down, what can you do about it? If you're so capable, break through these plant domains and come bite us!" Liu Xin turned around, sticking her butt out, making Bai Yulang and the other three grit their teeth in anger!
Bai Yulang and the others saw Liu Xin's undisguised mockery through the gaps in the trees, and they were furious.
You son of a bitch...
"Alright, I won't waste any more words with you." Lu Jie clasped his hands together, and the gaps between the plants were covered by countless tree-like vines.
Before long, Team 16 had already lost. Inside the sea of trees, they were unable to fight back. Even the shadow-type characters were exposed by Lu Jie's Radiant Light and couldn't escape at all.
Not to mention the tree-like vines flying everywhere; a few lashes from them would be hard for even magical artifacts to withstand.
"Brother Jie, you're amazing! We won both games!" Li Jieyan ran happily to Lu Jie's side.
"Yes, I'm so glad I was able to team up with Brother Jie," Liu Xin said.
"Go and rest first, we'll win the next match," Lu Jie said.
The competition is divided into a five-three system, meaning there are a total of five matches. If a team wins three consecutive matches, it can advance.
"Hey Lu Xing, going to take on someone all by yourself? That old guy Zhu Meng wouldn't be at a loss if he gave you his vote." Mo Fan walked over and slapped Lu Jie on the shoulder.
"You have three games this afternoon, don't miss them," Lu Jie said, glancing at him.
"Don't worry, don't you know my strength?" Mo Fan said confidently.
Old Wolf is already a Warrior-level expert, and his beloved daughter is already in her infancy. The Elemental Saint Spirit is indeed extraordinary; she has Warrior-level strength even in her infancy. A mere nomination competition is nothing to her.
After resting for a while, Lu Jie and his team started their third match...
"Hello, I'm new here. May I ask who Lu Jie is?"
Ding Yumin was watching the game when a polite but somewhat muffled voice came from behind her.
At first, she thought he was a guy trying to pick her up, something that happened quite often. But when she turned around, she realized that there was no hint of anything inappropriate in his eyes.
"The handsome guy on the field with his hands clasped together," Ding Yumin pointed.
The man with somewhat dark skin looked in the direction Ding Yumin was pointing, and indeed he looked exactly like the man in the photo his father had given him.
"Thank you," the man said politely, then stood tall to one side like a pine tree.
The man stared intently at Lu Jie on the competition stage, so much so that Ding Yumin felt she hadn't even noticed his presence; he was like a dark sculpture.
She ignored the strange man and continued watching the game.
"It's admirable that you have the guts to challenge me, but... this is all I can praise you for." Two wooden dragons hovered around Lu Jie, and Xu Mingcong and the others were trapped in the sea of trees, with no way to help them.
They also tried using demon-slaying tools and destruction magic to destroy these trees, but after they were destroyed, they grew back quickly, seemingly endlessly.
Xu Mingcong's Shadow element is useless against Lu Jie's Light element.
He also considered using the Giant Shadow Nail to restrain the enemy, but it was to no avail.
"We... admit defeat!!" Xu Mingcong said through gritted teeth.
"We won again." Li Jieyan was not surprised at all.
Liu Xin simply nodded.
Xu Mingcong and his group were unwilling to accept their fate and declared that they would hate plant-based magic for the rest of their lives, especially the plant-based magic used by a certain person named Lu Jie!
