Yun Feng hadn't had time to figure out who the speaker was, her eyes had just adapted to the suddenly dazzling light, when she keenly sensed a subtle change in the air flow, and her body instinctively dodged to the side. That's when she saw a girl, half a head taller than herself, standing where she had been just moments before.

  This girl should be a maiden, looking like she's around eighteen years old, with a melon-seed-shaped face and a sharp chin, her features are very regular, a pair of big eyes with a charming light wave, and between her eyebrows there is a dot of bright red vermilion. This dot of vermilion adds a touch of seductive charm to the girl's beautiful features.

  The girl's gaze swept across Yun Feng's face, and she chuckled softly, "Your face passes the test, and your speed just now was not bad either. I wonder how your magical attainments are."

  The girl's eyes were somewhat presumptuous, making Yun Feng feel uncomfortable, as if everything about him had been seen through by this girl. The girl stretched out her hand and slowly stroked her own chin, her slender fingers as delicate as the girl's well-proportioned body. She was a beauty, even comparable to Yun Feng, not one bit inferior.

  "What's going on? If you want to fight, choose a place!" Yun Feng said. The girl heard it and chuckled again, then nodded, "Before doing something, consider the situation first, not a reckless personality."

  Yun Feng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she only said one sentence, but it was as if she had been seen through. The girl's voice sounded again at this time, "Furrowing her brows indicates that there are many things on her mind, and also many worries."

  Yun Feng's face was expressionless as he stared at the girl with a pair of black eyes, his heart somewhat annoyed. "Don't easily pry into others' affairs!"

  The girl chuckled and slowly stretched out her hand, and a round ball of light suddenly appeared in the center of her palm. The light emitted from the surface of the ball gave people a warm and peaceful feeling. The girl's red lips curved slightly, "Let me give you a good welcome, new roommate!"

  As the girl spoke, the ball of light at the center of her palm suddenly shot out like an atomic bomb towards Yun Feng's face, shining with a dazzling ray of light, and heavily smashed down like an iron ball!

  A dazzling flash of light, the girl slightly narrowed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she saw Yun Feng standing still in front of her, with his arm stretched out straight ahead, holding in his palm the ball of light that the girl had just thrown out!

  Yun Feng was getting angry, being provoked by this person for no reason, and it wasn't just once, but twice. Moreover, this person could analyze him through every small action, which made him feel bad, extremely bad!

  Yun Feng's face was cold, her hand grasping the radiant orb. The girl didn't get angry, but instead smiled and said, "You didn't immediately counterattack, it seems your heart isn't that bad."

  Yun Feng heard this and felt that he had been seen through again. He clenched his fist tightly, and the ball of light in the center of his palm burst open and shattered! After a flash of light, everything turned into nothingness. Yun Feng gazed at her with cold eyes, "Had enough?"

  The girl slightly lowered her eyelids, "Being provoked by others and still being so calm, it shows that you are a person who is not easily controlled by anger, with a steady mind."

  Yun Feng's face turned black, and in that brief moment, she seemed to be stripped bare, without any defensive ability, as if allowing the girl to see through her. The girl let out a soft laugh again, "You can easily catch my eighth-level magic, it seems that my invitation is not sincere enough!"

  Yun Feng suddenly felt the magical elements in the air surging wildly, and the girl raised her eyes again. Another light ball appeared at the center of her palm, which was more than ten times denser than the previous one! Yun Feng's expression turned cold as she stared at the light ball at the girl's palm center. She was a commander-level magician! With the same level of strength as herself!

  "Then let's greet each other again, this time I'm sincere!" The beautiful girl's cheeks revealed a charming smile, the vermilion mole between her eyebrows seemed to shine like a light ball, another photon bullet flew out and shot rapidly towards Yun Feng!

  Yun Feng felt that the light ball's radiance was about to engulf her, and she suddenly retreated more than a dozen steps back. Yun Feng didn't dare to be slow again; this woman is crazy, absolutely crazy!

  "Earth Shield!" Yun Feng shouted in a low voice, an earth-elemental shield appearing in front of him. The light sphere changed shape suddenly when it was only ten-odd meters away from Yun Feng! Yun Feng's black eyes widened as his body retreated several meters backward at the same time the Earth Shield appeared. In that same instant, the Earth Shield was completely pierced by a long spear radiating dazzling rays of light!

  "Hiss!" The middle of the Earth Shield was completely pierced by a radiant long spear, and the shining spearhead instantly sank into the ground!

  "Bang!" The earth shield and the spear of light disappeared at the same instant, turning into a faint halo of yellow and white. Yun Feng stood not far from the girl, expressionless, looking at her. The girl finally managed to force out a friendly smile, took a step forward, and stood in front of Yun Feng.

  The girl stretched out her hand with a hint of a smile on her face, "Masa School Light System Magic Student, Qu Lanyi, welcome, Yun Feng."

  Yun Feng's expression was slightly stunned, Qu Lan Yi looked at Yun Feng and smiled softly again, "Very surprised? I am a light system magician?"

  Yun Feng's hand stretched out faintly, grasping the girl's hand in his palm. Suddenly, he felt a surge of powerful life energy transmitting from the girl's palm into his body. Yun Feng smiled, "Freshman rookie, Yun Feng."

  Qū Lán Yī chuckled and said, "You're being too modest, little Maple, what do you think?"

  Yun Feng's voice calling out "Qu Lanyi" almost startled her into breaking out in goosebumps. Qu Lanyi was a rare light system mage, and her strength was actually on par with Yun Feng's own. Although she looked slightly older than Yun Feng, this natural talent could also be described as monstrous.

  "You're quite familiar with yourself." Yun Feng joked, walking to his bed and starting to tidy up. Qu Lan Yi followed behind him, also lending a hand to help Yun Feng, who wasn't too willing to accept the assistance, but this person's enthusiasm seemed impossible to refuse.

  "Oh, little Fengfeng likes this color?" Qu Lan-yi held a small piece of fabric, Yun-feng's face turned red as she snatched it away, "I'll take care of my own things, don't bother yourself."

  Qū Lán Yī chuckled and stood aside, "You're actually a person who gets embarrassed easily."

  Yun Feng didn't respond, and he didn't have many things to begin with. He quickly finished tidying up and turned around to see Qu Lan Yi leaning against the table, watching him. Yun Feng looked around the room, "Why are there only you and me here?"

  Qū Lán Yī raised an eyebrow, her eyes fixed on Yún Fēng, the vermilion mole between her eyebrows seeming to glow even brighter. Gāo Yún Fēng walked closer to Yún Fēng, his head tilted slightly, until he was by Yún Fēng's side, before speaking in a low voice, "Don't you know?"

  Yun Feng raised an eyebrow in doubt, what should she know?

  Qing Lanyi chuckled and pointed at herself, "Because I'm the only one who doesn't dare to live in a room with anyone else, except you."

  Yun Feng only felt a dark cloud constantly shrouding his head, and he looked at Qu Lan with a black gaze, "Besides your crazy behavior earlier, what else have you done?"

  Qū Lán Yī suddenly curled up her lips and smiled, "I've done many things, little Feng will find out sooner or later."

  Yun Feng smiled, what kind of person hadn't she seen before? Qu Lanyi was a bit puzzling in her behavior, but as a person, she wasn't bad. The way she greeted earlier was quite unique too. Being able to live with a fellow genius who was on the same level as herself would surely bring great benefits, and besides, she was a light system magician - perhaps she even knew dark system magicians.

  Yun Feng shook his head, turned around and fell onto the bed. The bedding was soft and elastic. Yun Feng slowly closed his eyes. Tomorrow would be the first day of formal study here. What could he learn at Ma Sang School? It was really hard to say.

  Qū Lán Yī saw Yun Feng lying on the bed, and couldn't help but flash a look of surprise in her eyes. After half a moment, she spoke up in confusion, "You're not thinking of moving away?"

  Yun Feng slowly opened her eyes, and lightly glanced at Qu Lianyi. For some reason, the vermilion mark on his forehead always caught her attention. "Why do you want to move away? You're not a fierce beast, I'm not afraid of you."

  Qu Lan stood there in surprise, as if Yun Feng's words were hard to digest. Yun Feng closed his eyes again, meditating. Qu Lan stood there for a while, finally smiling. His black pupils swept across Yun Feng's tightly closed face several times. Yun Feng... this new roommate is really interesting.

  The night passed quietly, and Yun Feng slept very well. When the light shone on her face, Yun Feng opened her eyes. She sat up and looked to the side, only to see that Qu Lianyi's entire body had merged into the soft glow, like a radiant cocoon, emitting a gentle luster. Yun Feng couldn't help but stare, dumbfounded. This was her first encounter with a light system magician - could it be that she was actually a being of light?

  Qū Lán Yī lazily opened her eyes, with a languid expression on her face, as if a spirit had awakened from a giant cocoon. The vermilion mole between her eyebrows seemed to glow bright red. Yun Feng calmly shifted his gaze away, and Qū Lán Yī saw him curve his lips into a smile. "Little Feng, good morning."

  Yun Feng also responded with a "good morning", immediately got out of bed and tidied herself up. After Yun Feng had tidied herself up, she only then discovered that Qu Lan Yi was still lying in bed and not getting up. "Why aren't you getting up?" Yun Feng asked. Only then did Qu Lan Yi lazily prop herself up, her clothes loose and sloppy on her body, revealing half of her snowy white shoulder.

  "Xiao Feng, you don't know the rules of Ma Sang School yet, it's quite troublesome to explain, let those old guys nag about it. I'll sleep for a while longer, and then go find you." Qu Lan Yi said, and lazily fell back onto the bed. Yun Feng thought for a moment, and didn't bother with her anymore, pushing open the door and leaving.

  As soon as Yun Feng pushed open the door, he saw Mu Xiao Jin standing outside. When he saw that Mu Xiao Jin was actually waiting here, Yun Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Mu Xiao Jin saw Yun Feng come out and walked over with a smile. Yun Feng smiled back, just about to pull Mu Xiao Jin along to leave, when he heard a voice coming from behind the door.

  "Xiao Fengfeng has someone else now, and doesn't want me anymore."

  Mei Xiao Jin immediately looked up to see the sound, when she saw Qu Lan Yi standing at the door with her clothes a bit disheveled, she couldn't help but blush. Although they were both girls, it was still a bit embarrassing. Yun Feng suddenly turned his head and met Qu Lan Yi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not quite.

  "What are you talking about?!" Yun Feng couldn't help but mutter a sentence, this woman, why did she have to make things so ambiguous?!

  "I'm not talking nonsense, it's all true." Qu Lan's red lips curved into a smile as she gazed at Yun Feng with a sly grin. Yun Feng lazily chatted with her and pulled Mu Xiao Jin forward, who couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Xiao Feng, who is that? She looks really beautiful..."

  Yun Feng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyebrows a few times, "That's just a pervert, no need to bother with him."

  Mei Xiao Jin was slightly startled and couldn't help but turn her head back, Qu Lan Yi was still standing at the door, a pair of black eyes staring at Yun Feng without knowing what she was looking at. Mei Xiao Jin turned her head around and whispered, "Xiao Feng, she's still looking at you..."

  Yun Feng let out a cold hum, quickly dragging Mu Xiao Jin downstairs. What's with this inexplicable new roommate?! The two of them quickly exited the dormitory building and saw that all the new female students were gathered together. When they saw Yun Feng and Mu Xiao Jin come out, one of the girls loudly shouted, "Yun Feng, gather here!"

  Yun Feng pulled Mu Xiao Jin over and asked in a low voice when he saw Mi Ling Li, "Has she bullied you?"

  Moyou Jin immediately shook her head, with a smile on her face. Yun Feng also smiled and after a while, the boys were walking towards them too. After 100 people gathered, everyone was waiting here, classmates chatting in twos and threes from time to time.

  "I heard that Ma Sang School has several legendary figures!"

  "Yes, yes! I also heard that Masan School has a ranking list, which seems to be held every half year. The top few names on this ranking list have never changed!"

  "Where did you hear all this? Is it really like that? Do you know the current ranking list?"

  "Cut! What's there to not know? Even the senior in the same room as me told me!"

  This small group of people's conversation attracted more attention, and more and more students became interested in the ranking list. "Come on, don't keep us in suspense!" Some boys also cheered her on, asking her to hurry up and say it.

  "I'm also unsure if it's correct or not, this first name is unknown, people call him a nickname 'Yao Jiao' (meaning demon)."

  Others couldn't help but frown upon hearing it, a freak? Yun Feng couldn't help but secretly laugh, isn't that just a freak? It's a freak among freaks! The power of the commander level is not even ranked first, what a joke!

  "What about the second place?" someone else asked.

  "The second name is a big shot in the fire magic world, and this person's background is not small, she's a princess from the royal family! The name is unknown, but everyone calls her Princess!"

  Others couldn't help but feel a little envious, Princess... Several boys have already started to gaze at her with starry eyes. Yun Feng raised an eyebrow, this second name was also very familiar to her, wasn't it that Kasha from the evaluation conference? She was actually ranked second in strength at Ma Sang School, could it be that her strength had reached a high level of nine levels?

  "That princess must be really tough!"

  "Really? Really?"

  "Hmm...this...I'm not sure, let's move on to the third place..." This ranking of names has been going on for a long time, and it seems that the top ten are quite famous. Yun Feng listened carefully and finally found a familiar name, Mu Rong Yan. She didn't expect her to be ranked tenth.

  Yun Feng thought of his older brother's situation, and his eyebrows furrowed again. His older brother shouldn't be at this level of strength now. After studying at Ma Sang School for three years, how could he have only advanced one level? Now Yun Sheng's level was only third-grade!

  Something must have happened in between... Yun Feng had great confidence in his older brother, and if it was indeed a problem with his brother himself, his top-grade ore could also help his brother advance several levels. Just as Yun Feng was thinking this, Mu Xiao Jin lightly tugged on Yun Feng's arm, and when he looked up, he saw a teacher walking over with a serious expression.

  "Be quiet!" The teacher shouted loudly, and all the students' discussions stopped. The teacher glanced at the hundred students standing in front of him, his expressionless face making these students not dare to say a word.

  "Masan School is not the school you imagined, it just provides a better platform for you to grow and improve. What kind of realm you can grow into depends entirely on yourselves! Do you see that tall tower?" The teacher's hand pointed out, and all the students looked over in that direction. That sharp tower standing there was very eye-catching, Yun Feng had already noticed it when he first arrived at Masan School.

  "That's the place where you can accelerate your training, the Trial Tower. The tower is divided into several levels, with levels 1-3 in one layer, levels 4-6 in another, and levels 7-9 in yet another. And there's also a level for those above level 9. You should all be clear about your own strength, so let me give you some advice: the elemental density in each layer of the tower is thicker than the last. If you overestimate yourself and try to rush through, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"

  This sentence made all the examinees' brains much clearer, originally they were thinking of skipping levels to study, and the benefits would be doubled! However, this sentence was like a dull thunder, ringing in everyone's head.

  Daydreaming about soaring to great heights, you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself!

  "Hmph! How ridiculous!" Miruli muttered in disdain, and the teacher who was speaking merely chuckled coldly. "If some of you want to take a risk with your own lives, I won't stop you. After all, every year at Ma Sang School there are one or two fools - I just don't know if any of you will be among them!"

  Milingli's face turned red, and she tightly pursed her lips. The other students of Beicheng couldn't help but snicker quietly. Milingli's face grew even redder. Yunfeng's gaze shifted towards the Spire, the Trial Tower? According to this teacher, the elemental density inside was several times higher than outside, and it varied with different levels. So, the higher one's level, the more beneficial their cultivation would be?

  "The little guy isn't like that." The ancestor spoke up at this time, "Although the concentration of the lower levels is the lowest, but compared to the outside world, the effect of cultivating inside is several times higher. It's easy to upgrade low-level things, but it's harder to upgrade as you go up."

  Yun Feng suddenly thought of his older brother's situation, "Ancestor, my older brother has only risen one level in three years. Could this be a problem with my brother's innate talent?"

  The ancestor thought for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "Yun Xiang's talent is not a problem, if he practices normally, it should be possible to advance two levels in three years, especially in such a tower, it shouldn't be at this level."

  Yun Feng listened and felt a deeper sorrow in his heart. Something must have happened to prevent Big Brother's level from increasing!

  "The Trial Tower is not a place you can enter just because you want to, the resources inside are limited, so it's natural that you need to pay some price to get in." The teacher continued, some students immediately looked worried, some people let out a sigh of relief, Yun Feng furrowed his brow, could it be that they had to spend money?

  The teacher smiled as he saw the students' different expressions, "Money? Mazhong School doesn't need that kind of trash. Everyone gets one." The teacher pulled out a stack of cards from his pocket and handed them out to each person. Yun Feng received one in his hand, this card was very simple, with only thirty small dots on it, which were now all shining green.

  "This card is called the Trial Card, and it contains the energy of a low-grade ore. The energy has been divided into thirty portions, which will serve as your capital to enter the Trial Tower! This first card is a gift from Masan School, but what happens after you use up the energy depends on your individual abilities!"

  The students couldn't help but clench their cards tightly when they heard this, Yun Feng found it somewhat amusing. So it turned out that one had to consume the energy of the mineral stones in order to enter the Trial Tower for training? In that case, she could now enter without any restrictions...

  "The trial card is divided into low, medium and high levels. The low-level trial card can only be used to charge the energy of low-level ore, while the mid-level can be used for both low and mid-level ore, and the high-level can be used for all levels below it. The energy points are exchanged correspondingly, with one mid-level energy point equivalent to five low-level energy points, and so on. When entering the trial tower for practice, the low-level floor requires 5 energy points per entry, with a practice period of 3 days. The mid-level floor also requires 5 energy points, with a practice period of 4 days. The high-level floor also requires 5 energy points, with a practice period of 5 days."

  The teacher finished, and the examinees were all secretly muttering to remember. Yun Feng looked at the trial card in his hand, with a total of only thirty points. If he didn't do anything, he could only persist in cultivation for thirty days, but these days were far from enough for a low-level magician to upgrade even one level.

  "Teacher, what if we run out of energy points?" a student asked timidly. The teacher smiled slightly and then turned serious again, "Of course, you'll have to figure it out yourselves! Since you're at Masan School, everything is up to you! As new students, I'll give you a few options. One option is to join a club. Every year, Masan School holds a club ranking tournament, and the top five clubs will receive mineral rewards. You'll naturally get mineral rewards too. The second option is to participate in the individual ranking tournament. If you can enter the top ten, as long as your ranking doesn't change, you'll receive different levels of mineral rewards every week. The third option is to challenge! Challenge the top ten ranked students. If you succeed, you'll get corresponding mineral rewards based on the rank you challenged!"

  The students couldn't help but frown and look gloomy, thinking that it was all about fighting and killing to get by. Can't magicians just focus on studying magic peacefully? It's really... "You must remember one thing! Survival of the fittest! If you're willing to be mediocre, Meson School won't say anything. If you're willing to fall behind others and be left further and further behind, then you can give up everything!"

  All students are with a determined look, no one wants to be left behind, no one wants to be surpassed by others, and no one is willing to be among the last! All students have a strong fighting spirit in their hearts, in order to go further on the path of learning, in order to go further on the path of magic, they must keep striving forward. Keep moving forward!

  The teacher nodded in satisfaction at the students' expressions, "Alright, I've said all I need to say. From now on, you should all be clear about your respective departments. If anyone wants to join a club, it's better to participate in one within their own department. Oh, and one more thing." The teacher seemed to have forgotten something, and suddenly smiled eerily, "Mahasan School doesn't prohibit friendly competition, but if someone tries to maliciously steal another person's trial card, once discovered, they'll be kicked out of school!"

  Upon hearing this, some of the weaker schools couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Yun Feng's black eyes scanned towards Mi Lingli and indeed saw a flash of unwillingness in her eyes. As expected, Mi Lingli had been harboring thoughts of snatching someone else's trial card.

  "Alright, those who want to enter the training tower for practice can go now. Those who want to join a club should head in that direction. And those who want to watch or participate in the challenge match should go in the opposite direction." The teacher said, and then turned around and left. The students all discussed among themselves for a while before dispersing. Some went to the training tower to practice, some headed towards the club building, and others excitedly went to watch the challenge match.

  Mei Xiao Jin stood beside Yun Feng, "Xiao Feng, what do we do now?" Yun Feng smiled, "I want to go find my big brother. If you want to try the Training Tower, you can go first and I'll come find you later."

  Mei Xiao Jin thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Then... I'll go with Xiao Feng..."

  Yun Feng couldn't help but smile and nodded, pulling Mu Xiao Jin towards the direction of the club building. What is big brother doing now? The water system student union inside the club building should be the clearest about it! Yun Feng thought about contacting big brother's problem, suddenly remembered Mr. Zheng Ran gave her a transmission jade card, looks like she still needs to go out for a trip, get one for big brother and old dad and Xiao Jin, this way can't find people is also a troublesome thing.
