.
As Qian Kun announced, the lightning-element students in the audience finally came back to their senses.
The insults and mockery from earlier… everyone was now dumbfounded!
One-thought Star Orbit… facing someone like that, if you didn't wear high-level demon armor from the start, victory was almost impossible.
Going up meant being struck by lightning… if you couldn't endure it, you'd have to kneel.
Even if the opponent's strength was just at the intermediate level, what did it matter? The power unleashed by their elementary magic completely surpassed intermediate-level magic!
Sun Yuan had been thinking about letting Tang Miao know that there were always people better than you, and that the sky was always bigger. He had even planned how to comfort Tang Miao after his expected defeat, but… the outcome… this guy was simply not human!
Similarly, it wasn't just those outside the top hundred who were shocked; many within the top hundred were also secretly amazed.
After all, Tang Miao hadn't even reached the age for the college entrance exam. Normally, he should only be in his third year of high school!
Some of them had been in this academy for one or two years already.
It could be said that, apart from the three roommates in Tang Miao's dorm, everyone else was in shock. Of course, even his three roommates never imagined such a situation.
Tang Miao had truly reached the point of not making a sound until he made a splash!
After the battle ended, Tang Miao left. After all, he now had four elements to cultivate… how could he waste time here?
By the time everyone recovered from their shock, Tang Miao had already left.
Qian Kun also announced the upcoming challenge matches, but no one seemed to have the mind to pay attention to them. After all, they had been truly thunderstruck today!
At the same time, on the free online platform of Mingzhu Academy's campus, the day's events spread like wildfire.
Instantly, many people on the online platform began to inquire about Tang Miao's information. There were even some from prominent families among them. Why? Because who wouldn't want to recruit such a strong individual if they weren't already being cultivated by a major power?
Of course, there were also many gossiping and commenting… "Holy crap, what's the deal with this new lightning-element student? Is he that powerful!?"
"Annual Academy Grand Competition, is the lightning element going to rise this year?"
"This little brother is so handsome!"
"…"
All sorts of strange comments emerged endlessly, but the person concerned was currently training his star-points. He had no time to deal with other matters.
The most important thing was that he was short on money! He urgently needed to improve himself, and only then would he have a chance to complete the bounties!
…Because he needed to break through, Tang Miao chose to rent a room outside. After all, seclusion required quiet, and living with a few noisy guys, how could he find peace?
Although he was very poor right now, he still had the money to rent a house. After all, the lease for his previous rental hadn't expired, but he had forcefully moved out.
Although that was a bit cheeky, he wasn't completely unreasonable. He paid an extra month's rent.
The landlord knew Tang Miao was a mage and didn't want to offend him, so in the end, she returned the money to him.
Controlling forty-nine star-points in an orderly manner was clearly not an easy task. However, his strong spiritual power, coupled with the Star Scar and his strong patience in various aspects, meant it wasn't too much trouble.
Of course, to say it wasn't troublesome was true, but to actually do it was genuinely difficult… Three days passed, and the eighth star-point successfully aligned. Eight days later, the ninth star-point aligned… And because Tang Miao had demonstrated absolute crushing strength, during the new challenge week, no one bothered to seek their own humiliation.
After all, although Wang Yan was discharged from the hospital on the second day, it took him a full three days to fully recover.
And because of Tang Miao's disruption, those outside the top hundred engaged in various challenges. The rankings were refreshed, and in the end, Wang Yan just ended up at rank 101.
Although he was very unwilling to lose to a junior, and a junior who couldn't even use intermediate magic, what could he do? Challenging again would only bring him more humiliation.
After all, the power of his lightning magic was undeniable!
He couldn't afford to provoke him… And because no one bothered him, Tang Miao was naturally content. He didn't continue to challenge others; the resources he got from being in the top hundred were enough. The main reason was that going higher, he might not benefit, and to get a chance to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower, he needed to reach the top twenty.
The seniors in the top twenty almost all had level three lightning magic, right? Moreover, they all came from various prominent families, so they naturally wouldn't lack magic equipment.
So, Tang Miao naturally didn't bother to challenge them… Enjoying the resources, besides improving his other elements, he focused on controlling his star-points.
Hard work pays off, and by the sixtieth day, the forty-ninth star-point successfully aligned!
Aside from the initial frustration, everything gradually became natural.
Of course, during these two months, he wasn't just cultivating the lightning element. His spatial element also successfully reached level three. The reason it was so fast was because his spiritual power was extraordinary. As for what level his spiritual power was, he wasn't sure, but it should be quite impressive!
And his summoning element was already capable of summoning a contracted beast, but he hadn't gotten around to summoning one yet.
As for the ice element, it had only reached about thirty-something star-points… After all, even a genius couldn't simultaneously break through all four elements at once.
However, with the ability to cast intermediate lightning magic, he naturally wouldn't miss the new challenge week!
Although he had only learned level one intermediate lightning magic, with the added bonuses from his domain and so on, its power was already completely comparable to some ordinary spirit seed level three intermediate magic!
…Returning to the academy, it was already a scorching summer day. However, summer naturally had its benefits.
Looking at the fair, jade-like long legs of the girls, appearing in a dazzling array before his eyes, even though they were wearing school uniforms, because they were mages, their looks were not bad. Such a beautiful sight truly made one's heart flutter~
While enjoying the beautiful scenery, he walked towards the Lightning Element Academy with an unchanged expression.
Actually, Tang Miao was quite puzzled, because although there were girls in the Lightning Element Academy, there were no goddess-level presences at all… However, his own presence didn't seem to be very significant. In two months, he had come a few times to collect resources. But no matter which time, he didn't receive any adoration from the lightning-element girls… It goes to show that good looks alone aren't enough! Although his strength wasn't bad, in the eyes of those girls from prominent families, he still didn't receive any attention. Of course, two months ago, he did receive invitations from some forces, but it was clear that none of them were very enthusiastic
