Wei Rong slapped his thigh and said dejectedly, "Oh... this time I've really lost face!"
In the arena, Oriental Fierce looked at everything in front of him in shock. At this moment, he had already lost his fighting spirit. His proud Fire System was not worth mentioning in front of Lin Chen. His Fire System magic energy was also completely exhausted. Was he going to fight with his auxiliary Wind System?
At this time, the fireball above Lin Chen's head had stopped growing. The ten-meter-diameter fireball burned fiercely, constantly emitting a terrifying aura of destruction.
Seeing Oriental Fierce's expression, Lin Chen asked lightly, "Are you still fighting?"
"I... I surrender!" Oriental Fierce said unwillingly. As soon as his Fire System magic energy was exhausted, he knew he had lost. No matter how unwilling he was, a loss was a loss.
"Wow..."
Everyone was in an uproar again. The Fire Courtyard's number one actually surrendered so easily?
"Oriental Fierce isn't throwing the match, is he?"
"What do you know? Didn't you see how terrifying that fireball was?"
"What kind of magic is that fireball? I can feel a terrifying aura even sitting this far away."
"..."
On the spectator stands, countless discussions arose. The main campus of Mingzhu Academy was full of Intermediate Mages. Ordinary students lacked a certain vision and didn't understand what was going on, nor did they understand Lin Chen's terrifying power.
But among the students, there was no lack of those clan disciples. How could they not understand Lin Chen's power?
Did Oriental Fierce really want to surrender? Didn't you see his unwilling face?
Perhaps Oriental Fierce was already powerless!
If he didn't surrender, could he handle that terrifying fireball?
Looking at Lin Chen again, holding the huge fireball, he was still calm and composed, showing no signs of his true depth.
Lin Chen in the arena waved his hand, and the ten-meter-wide fireball suddenly disappeared from this world.
Lin Chen's gaze looked towards Wei Rong in the mentor's seat, and he smiled slightly.
Seeing this, Wei Rong's face was expressionless, but he was already extremely embarrassed in his heart. In the end, he could only suppress his inner embarrassment, coughed twice, and announced loudly, "I announce that the new number one in the Fire Courtyard is Lin Chen!"
Lin Chen's smile was soft and pure, but many people saw a hint of sarcasm and mockery in it.
With the announcement of the match result, this competition officially ended.
But the topic of this competition had just begun.
"Shocking... The Fire Courtyard's number one has changed!"
"The new talent in the main campus is terrifying!"
"Shocking... The Fire Courtyard's number one is actually him..."
"A new generation of Fire Demon Kings has been born in Mingzhu Academy!"
"..."
Soon after the competition ended, new posts on Mingzhu Academy's forum were instantly stickied, all about today's Fire Courtyard competition.
Some people even uploaded the video of Lin Chen and Oriental Fierce's match today to the forum.
"Haha, Sister Mu, come and see, Lin Chen is messing with you!"
At this moment, Ai Tutu, who was browsing the Mingzhu Academy forum, suddenly saw the latest post and said excitedly.
"What's wrong with him?" Mu Nujiao asked, puzzled. They had been separated from Lin Chen for a long time today, and Ai Tutu's words made her feel very confused.
Ai Tutu giggled and handed her phone to Mu Nujiao, saying, "See for yourself!"
"This..."
When Mu Nujiao finished reading the post, she was at a loss for words. Thinking of the previous bet, a blush unconsciously appeared on Mu Nujiao's face.
Mu Nujiao secretly blamed herself. Knowing she would lose, why did she get a sudden rush of blood to her head and agree to this bet at the time?
Although she knew Lin Chen was strong, they were both similar in age, and she originally estimated that their strength difference was not significant. Now it seemed that this was entirely her wishful thinking.
Now it's fine, the competition can be directly waived. What's the point of competing? Just surrender directly. Lin Chen has already become the number one in the Fire Courtyard of the main campus in the blink of an eye.
Ai Tutu teased, "Sister Mu, are we good sisters or not? Quickly tell me what your bet with Lin Chen is!"
"I..." Mu Nujiao shook her head, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Ai Tutu snorted coldly and said, "You've got a man and forgotten your sisters!"
Mu Nujiao rolled her eyes at Ai Tutu and said, "Who said he's my man?"
Ai Tutu sneered, "Come on, the way you look at Lin Chen every time, oh my, it's just..."
"Tutu, stop talking!" Mu Nujiao said, her face completely red.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're even shy!" Ai Tutu continued to tease.
"I... won't make dinner for you tonight!"
Mu Nujiao said, returning Ai Tutu's phone to her, and then fled in a hurry!
...
In the Mingzhu Academy library, Lin Chen was sitting in a corner looking at his phone, a gentle smile appearing on his face from time to time.
Mu Nujiao: You're a liar.
Lin Chen: What did I lie to you about?
Mu Nujiao: I know all about the Fire Courtyard matter.
Lin Chen: So what?
Mu Nujiao: I'm not competing with you anymore!
Lin Chen: What about the bet then?
Mu Nujiao: ...
Lin Chen: You were the one who proposed the competition, and you agreed to the bet. What? Trying to renege?
Mu Nujiao: You're bullying me!
Lin Chen: How am I bullying you? I didn't force you to agree!
Mu Nujiao: Okay, I admit defeat!
Lin Chen: What about the bet then?
Mu Nujiao: Can we change the bet?
Lin Chen: No!!!
Mu Nujiao: Good brother, can we change it?
Lin Chen: No change!
Mu Nujiao: Fine, you win. I'll admit defeat, is that enough?
Lin Chen: That's more like it. Waiting for you tonight!
Mu Nujiao: ...
At this moment, a girl in a school uniform sat opposite Lin Chen.
Although the girl was wearing a school uniform, it couldn't hide her beauty. Her fair skin, delicate face, and a pair of straight and slender long legs perfectly showcased her figure.
"Did I disturb you?" Ding Yumian smiled gently. Her smile was very sweet, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, put away his phone, and said, "How could you!"
Ding Yumian smiled and said, "Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be so hidden. You're usually so quiet, but today you made a splash. Congratulations on getting first place in the Fire Courtyard!"
Lin Chen chuckled softly and said, "I almost forgot, you're also from the Fire Courtyard!"
Ding Yumian nodded gently and said, "Mhm, I watched your entire match today!"
"It seems I transferred to the right system. The Fire Courtyard has so many beauties!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Which beauty caught your eye? Do you need me to introduce you?" Ding Yumian said with a smile.
Lin Chen chuckled softly and said tenderly, "I've set my eyes on you, the great beauty!"
Ding Yumian smoothed the hair in front of her brows, a hint of evasiveness appearing in her expression. She smiled charmingly and said, "Stop joking. By the way, your Summoning System is very special."
Seeing that Ding Yumian didn't take the bait and changed the subject, Lin Chen asked nonchalantly, "Oh? How is it special?"
