Chapter 4

  Li Xingze was well aware that the higher the bloodline of a demon, the harder it was to contract.

  But!

  Li Xingze still refused to give up and came to the sky above the Golden Fme Lion. He absolutely could not miss this excellent summoning beast!

  The Golden Fme Lion had very sensitive perception and instantly detected the human above. Its golden eyes revealed a look of disdain.

  An ant actually dared to covet it!

  Damn it!

  Li Xingze noticed that look, and for the first time, he was looked down upon by a beast, igniting a fire within him. He directly used his mental power to form a rope and tied it around the lion's head.

  Feeling the rope around its neck, the Golden Fme Lion immediately became furious and started to run wildly across the grassnd with Li Xingze.

  Li Xingze's attempt to catch it ended up backfiring, as the Golden Fme Lion treated him like a kite, pying with him.

  "Indeed, with my mental power, it is indeed very difficult to contract this Golden Fme Lion."

  Li Xingze was also infuriated by this creature, and he pnned to directly use his st resort.

  [Spirit Locking Magic Seal: Magic Range E-, Single Target Effect B]

  Of course, Li Xingze did not want to kill this Golden Fme Lion. He happened to have a B-level mind-binding spell that could make it completely submit!

  To avoid any mishaps, Li Xingze decided to use two scrolls for manual release.

  Having made up his mind, Li Xingze summoned a mind-type mage at the cost of one earth-type spell scroll and one mind-type spell scroll.

  A golden light fshed, and an elderly mage in a gray robe appeared beside him.

  Unlike Li Xingze's spiritual body floating in mid-air, this gray-robed mage was directly flying in the air.

  So terrifying!

  "According to the contract, I will help you complete a forbidden spell."

  "Speak, what do you want me to do?"

  Hearing this elderly voice, Li Xingze was taken aback.

  This old man did not seem to be randomly generated but was a living person. Could he be a mage from another world?

  But now was not the time to think about these things; there was a time limit for each summoning, and he had to seize every second.

  "Sir, I want you to make that Golden Fme Lion submit to me. As long as it submits, I don't want to harm it," Li Xingze said.

  "That's it?" The gray-robed mage looked surprised. Was this task really that simple?

  Controlling a little lion was incredibly easy for him.

  But using a forbidden spell to control a little lion, wasn't that a bit of overkill?

  "Yes." Li Xingze nodded.

  The gray-robed mage looked at him deeply and began to mumble in an ancient and mysterious nguage.

  Li Xingze felt dizzy and couldn't understand at all.

  Perhaps it was some special spell chant.

  After two and a half minutes, the gray-robed mage raised his magic staff towards the Golden Fme Lion.

  A brilliant and dazzling light shot out and finally entered the Golden Fme Lion's golden eyes.

  "Contract completed, young friend. I look forward to seeing you next time." The gray-robed mage smiled at Li Xingze and then vanished into thin air.

  "Is that it solved?"

  Li Xingze had not yet reacted; shouldn't forbidden spells take a long time to prepare?

  Or was it due to the effect of that special chant?

  Just as he was pondering, the Golden Fme Lion had already charged over from the distance on the grassnd, moving at incredible speed, reaching Li Xingze in just a few minutes.

  The Golden Fme Lion lowered its incredibly proud head, and its docile appearance delighted Li Xingze.

  This gray-robed mage was truly terrifying!

  Although the Golden Fme Lion had already submitted, Li Xingze still needed to carve a soul mark on its head.

  With this soul mark, he could summon the Golden Fme Lion from the summoning pne.

  An advanced summoning beast was in hand!

  Tiann High School.

  It was time for the annual assessment.

  Each css stood as a formation on the pyground, with each css's assessment being separate.

  The Star Sense Stone could sense the level of a person's cultivation, reflecting it through the brightness of its light, which was one of the evaluation criteria.

  "The brightness of the Star Sense Stone represents the level of your magical energy within the stardust. As long as you have not scked off this year, I believe you will all achieve good results."

  The css teacher, Xue Musheng, stood before everyone with a serious expression and said.

  "As, I only controlled three stars. I wonder if I will be expelled."

  "Hehe, I have four stars, just barely on the passing line."

  "The best student in our css is definitely Mu Bai. I heard he has already controlled seven stars. Casting spells is a piece of cake for him."

  "What? Seven! So terrifying!"

  "..."

  In the thirty new student csses, one thousand five hundred people wearing the Tiann Magic High School uniform stood spectacurly on the training ground, arranged in clusters of teams.

  After the principal's speech, it was time for the board member Mu He to speak. He stood on stage, vividly painting a beautiful future for the students.

  In the end, it was all just empty talk.

  Li Xingze calmly looked at Mu He on stage, even though he could easily eliminate him now.

  But he wouldn't do that.

  Even if he killed Mu He, Sarn could choose someone else to carry out the ancient city camity.

  The key was not on Mu He.

  [Forbidden Spell Scroll Count: 9]

  Although there were many forbidden spell scrolls, most were elemental forbidden spells, with only one blessing-type forbidden spell.

  The most famous blessing-type magic is the Divine Seal Praise, which can permanently amplify a system, achieving at least a doubling effect.

  Unfortunately, Li Xingze awakened the dimensional system, not the elemental system.

  "Today is still a very special day; we have invited our most outstanding female magician from Bo City."

  "That's right, she is Mu Ningxue! Let's welcome this magical genius who should have graduated with you but has already advanced to university!"

  Mu He spoke loudly to Mu Ningxue beside him.

  "Oh my, it's actually Mu Ningxue. I heard she seems to have awakened a natural talent."

  "I heard she learned the beginner ice skill—Ice Vine—in just eight months."

  "Eight months?? My goodness, I've only controlled four stars by now. Is the gap between people really that big?"

  "Moreover, she is a great beauty, truly talented and beautiful, the pride of Bo City!"

  As soon as over a thousand students heard Mu Ningxue's name, they immediately buzzed with excitement, as she was a legend they had heard about even before enrolling.

  "Mu Ningxue..."

  Li Xingze's eyes were fixed on that stunning figure.

  Mu Ningxue stood coldly beside Mu Zhuoyun, like a breathtakingly beautiful painting. Her silver hair fell gracefully over her shoulders, as soft as the first snow of winter.

  Her brows resembled distant mountains, her eyes like a cold pond, with a straight nose and slightly thin lips. When she pursed them slightly, it revealed an air of aloofness, as if she was above the mundane world.

  Her exquisite figure was tall and elegant, her snow-white skin exuding a faint chill, like the only snow lotus blooming in winter, proud and breathtakingly beautiful.

  Having no entertainment as a child, the bored Li Xingze wandered into the Mu family estate, where he encountered the already adorable Mu Ningxue.

  As time passed...

  Mu Ningxue on stage also noticed Li Xingze gazing at her, and her cold, frosty face unexpectedly flushed slightly, making her even more enchanting.
