10 Graduation Ceremony, Dueling the Instructor
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Please claim your reward on the corresponding interface.]
Walking towards the academy, Yan Zhen trailed behind the five girls, silently opening the system interface to claim his reward.
Previously, when cultivating the Emperor Flame Technique, the system rewarded him with a summon card, Fiery Sanzang. When cultivating the Ancestral Talisman Scripture, the system rewarded him with a second summon card, Staff-Wielding Pilgrim. Now, after cultivating the Primordial Dharma Body Chart, the system’s reward was yet another rare summon card—
[Special Trump Card – 87 Million Gilded White Dragon]
Yan Zhen’s breath hitched.
—It’s here! It’s a dragon! My dragon!
He carefully examined the card, which depicted a slender four-clawed divine dragon with white scales and a faint golden glow. Its eyes were haughty, its whiskers flowing, exuding an aura of majesty.
As for its abilities…
[Upon activation, summons a Gilded White Dragon from ancient times. Base realm: Mystic Ancestor. For each additional summoned shadow on the field, its realm increases by one major level, up to Mystic Saint. Base star level: one-star. For each additional enemy on the field, its star level increases by one. Possesses the theoretical maximum attack power for its current realm and extremely high defense.]
[Ultimate Move – Gilded Dragon Breath: Exhales golden dragon breath, gilding targets on the field, restricting their movement. Can only be used once per summon.]
[Greater Ultimate Move – Extinct White Dragon: Creates three clones, gathering Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire attributes, unleashing a chaotic attack. Can only be used once per summon.]
[Final Ultimate Move – 87 Million Storm: Spreads its wings, creating a black hole that absorbs all the wealth of enemies on the field, totaling 87 million Mystic Crystals. Can only be used once per summon.]
—Holy crap! So strong! OP!
First, the passive ability: base realm Mystic Ancestor, with each additional summoned shadow, its realm increases by one major level!
Yan Zhen still had the Fiery Sanzang and Staff-Wielding Pilgrim cards. If he summoned them simultaneously, the Gilded White Dragon’s realm would reach the Supreme Realm!
And the final ultimate move, the invincible money-making technique, snatch and run!
Imagine sneaking into the enemy’s lair, summoning the Gilded White Dragon, activating the final ultimate move, stealing their treasury, and then flying away on the dragon!
That’s 87 million Mystic Crystals!
Not the usual currency, but Mystic Crystals, the cultivation resource used by Mystic Lords and above, incredibly valuable!
Nearly 90 million Mystic Crystals, even the Sacred Ground couldn’t withstand such a loss.
Yan Zhen quickly reviewed the plot, searching for any villainous lairs overflowing with riches, suitable for plundering.
Hee hee hee~
“Cousin! Cousin!”
His cousin’s call brought Yan Zhen back to reality.
“Huh? What is it, Meng’er?”
“What’s wrong with you? You seem distracted and you’re smiling mischievously. It’s a bit scary.”
Not just Yan Meng’er, Yan Ruyu also gave him a strange look.
“Ahem.” Yan Zhen adjusted his expression. “It’s nothing. I’ve been practicing a new Mystic Skill lately, so I’m a bit engrossed.”
Yan Ruyu looked at him sideways. “Are you nervous about fighting Instructor Yu Xuan?”
“Why would I be nervous? It’s just a formality.” Yan Zhen appeared calm. “Besides, Instructor Yu Xuan wouldn’t actually hit me—right, Instructor?”
Instructor Yu Xuan, walking ahead, glanced back, smiling. “Depends on your performance.”
Yan Zhen’s heart skipped a beat. He gave her a resentful look, causing the four girls to giggle.
Passersby were attracted by their laughter, their eyes lighting up upon seeing the five Academy Belles together. Then, noticing how they surrounded Yan Zhen, their expressions turned envious.
Arriving at the academy’s ceremonial plaza, the spectator stands were almost full.
Seeing that the Academy Belles had no place to sit, the surrounding fanboys and fangirls scrambled to offer their seats, quickly clearing an area in the front row.
The four girls were used to such treatment. They simply thanked them and sat down.
As for Yan Zhen, he followed Instructor Yu Xuan to the center of the plaza to participate in the ceremony.
This year’s graduating class wasn’t large, less than a hundred students. Most had recently advanced to Mystic Scholar. Elites like Xiao Mie and Yu Yue, who were already at three-star and four-star, were few and far between.
Besides them, “true bosses” like Young Master Ming Kong and Ye Si, who had already been Mystic Scholars at the beginning of the school year, had also returned, standing behind their respective instructors.
Yan Zhen didn’t pay much attention, as he was no longer on the same level as them. However, that five-star Mystic Scholar, Young Master Ming Kong—
Oh, oh, oh, here it comes. Mi Xue’er came to challenge Yan Zhen to a duel after the ceremony, wanting to learn from his advanced techniques!
But they wouldn’t actually fight.
After Young Master Ming Kong witnessed the battle between Yan Zhen and Instructor Yu Xuan, he would realize that Yan Zhen was already a Mystic Master and that he was no match for him. So, as soon as the ceremony ended, Young Master Ming Kong would slip away.
“…”
After listening to the Dean’s long-winded speech and going through a series of meaningless procedures, it was finally time for the duels between instructors and their students.
This instructor-student battle was equivalent to a “final lesson,” mostly a formality, the outcome not important.
However, since Yan Zhen would be going to the Sacred Ground Academy with Instructor Yu Xuan, this “final lesson” felt a bit strange.
After drawing lots, Yan Zhen and Instructor Yu Xuan were the last pair. He sat next to her, boredly watching the duels on stage.
The instructors were all at the Mystic Master realm, while the graduates were Mystic Scholars. There wasn’t much to see; he could take on two of them at once.
The only one who caught Yan Zhen’s attention was Xiao Mie.
After his breakthrough, his cultivation had increased rapidly. He was now a four-star Mystic Scholar. In his duel with his instructor, he displayed several low-level Mystic Skills, lightning flashing, quite eye-catching.
Yan Zhen felt a bit emotional. Nearly half a year ago, his battle with Xiao Mie had almost resulted in mutual defeat. Now, to put it bluntly, it would only take him a single slap.
At this moment, Yan Zhen felt fortunate to be the protagonist. If he were the villain or a supporting character, how miserable would he be?
Although the lack of a female lead made his acting quite difficult, and the female characters not following the script was also a headache, it was still a good situation overall.
Before he knew it, the instructor-student battles reached the final round. The system’s voice echoed in Yan Zhen’s mind, and the mission interface popped up.
There was only one requirement: break the Mystic Academy’s record and defeat an instructor as a student!
“Don’t just sit there, Yan Zhen. Come with me to the stage.”
“Oh, okay.”
Yan Zhen unhurriedly followed Instructor Yu Xuan onto the stage. They stood ten meters apart, facing each other.
The most beautiful instructor of the Silver Moon City Mystic Academy versus the most talented student in the history of the Silver Moon City Mystic Academy!
All eyes were on them, afraid to miss a single moment.
Instructor Yu Xuan raised her hand, Mystic Power condensing into a bow, and smiled. “Should I suppress my cultivation to one-star Mystic Master?”
Yan Zhen also raised his hand, Mystic Power condensing into a greatsword. “I’m fine with anything. Whatever Instructor prefers.”
This simple action alone surprised the students and instructors present!
Condensing Mystic Power into objects, Mystic Master realm!
Yan Zhen was a Mystic Master!?
