Full-Time Magister: White Tiger's Power Lock, Unrivaled Sacred Beast

Chapter 26: In the Woods with Mu Ningxue, the Battle for the Top University
Zhao Chengyue was a little confused when he saw the message from Bai Tingting.

Instead of sleeping or meditating late at night, she texts herself saying she can't sleep?

How exactly can't you sleep?
Zhao Chengyue: "Tingting, isn't this a bit inappropriate so late at night?"

Bai Tingting: "?"

Bai Tingting: "[Crying and laughing.jpg.]"

Bai Tingting: "Brother Zhao, you've misunderstood. Actually..."

A moment later, Zhao Chengyue put down his phone and smiled helplessly. It turned out that Bai Tingting was just feeling a little lonely and wanted to chat with him.

The next day, the group got up early and went to stroll around the academies in the capital.

The morning session featured exchanges between other universities and those in the capital, while the afternoon session was the main event between Mingzhu University and the capital.

Zhao Manyan couldn't wait to go pick up girls.

In his words, the quality of girls at the Imperial Capital University is obviously much higher than that of girls at Mingzhu University.

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao almost couldn't resist casting a spell on Zhao Manyan, and looked at him with disdain as he ran away.

"A prestigious university in the capital, tsk tsk."

Zhao Chengyue glanced around and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If he hadn't awakened his innate wisdom and had no memories of his past life, he probably would have actually ended up in the capital.

Of course, that's not to say that the capital city is bad.

It's just that the Pearl storyline has advantages, and the family's important territory is in Shanghai. Once you enter the Pearl, the world will be much brighter!

"Ice Princess is about to break through to the Commander level, so I need to get some materials. Although she doesn't lack these resources, I am her summoner after all, and I'm not short of money. I can't just feed her magic energy, can I?"

Zhao Chengyue thought to himself as he probed the contract space with his spiritual power.

The little white tiger lay down and took a nap, looking rather bored.

Thinking back carefully, it seems that since returning to Shanghai, the only time I summoned the little white tiger was during that clan gathering, when I activated the Super Beast Armament.

As a result, Zhao Jing was so intimidated that he didn't even have a proper fight. Over a year passed, and the little white tiger was practically bored out of his mind.

"No, I still need to take on more missions with Yu'er, or I should try to find some time to go to the Qinling Mountains to get the rest of the Divine Deer Antlers, and also use the Super Beast Armed Forces to train my combat skills."

"The White Tiger Ability Lock is practically useless to me now!"

Zhao Chengyue sighed inwardly.

There's nothing we can do; he's just too strong.

He even had a cheat code for two and a half years, breaking through from the initial stage to the advanced stage of ice magic, leaving the so-called magic genius who broke through to the intermediate stage at the age of eighteen far behind.

A lush grove of trees shelters a quaint pavilion.

"It's so much cooler here." Zhao Chengyue strolled in, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Capital Academy along the way.

Suddenly, a very light footstep sounded behind him, seemingly carrying a hint of coolness, which Zhao Chengyue keenly noticed.

Ok?
The footsteps stopped behind him.

With a slight twitch of the nostrils, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted into the air—the scent of a woman's hair.
Judging from this glimpse, the owner of this aura is most likely a woman.

Then, upon closer inspection of the icy aura surrounding him... he must be at least a mid-level mage.

“Miss,” Zhao Chengyue turned slightly, a smile on his face, “why are you stopping behind me? Am I so charming?”

Ok? !

Upon seeing who it was, Zhao Chengyue's heart skipped a beat—this person... why does he look so familiar?

She exuded an icy aura that kept strangers at bay, her face calm and expressionless, like a jade-carved ice beauty.

Judging from his outstanding appearance, young age, and unique, almost tangible, ice-type magical energy fluctuations... could he be the legendary genius from a small town?
The naturally gifted, chosen woman of destiny by the Mu family of the capital to be the bearer of the Ice Bow—Mu Ningxue? "Whenever I'm feeling down, I come here to relax." Mu Ningxue's voice was cold and emotionless.

She looked at the tall, handsome young man in front of her, and a strange feeling flashed through her mind.

The other person exuded a certain aura that gave her a subtle sense of belonging, as if it originated from the same source.

"Are you an exchange student at our school?"

Although it was a question, the tone carried an unquestionable certainty.

"Mm." Zhao Chengyue nodded with a smile, his posture casual.

"Our team leader was incredibly lucky to be selected for your university in the capital. We didn't have high expectations for this trip; we're just treating it as a free vacation."

As he spoke, he turned around naturally and strolled toward the pavilion.

"Beautiful lady, we've been chatting for so long, and you still don't know your name?" Zhao Chengyue asked as he walked, his tone relaxed.

Mu Ningxue followed silently behind, entered the pavilion, and sat down on the stone bench opposite Zhao Chengyue.

The air inside the pavilion seemed to have cooled down a bit because of her arrival.

"Mu Ningxue".

Her lips parted slightly, and her clear, cool voice echoed through the pavilion.

After speaking, his gaze fell on Zhao Chengyue again, with a hint of probing that was barely perceptible.

This person... whether it's that calm and unrestrained demeanor or that strange resonance that stirred the depths of her soul just now, is definitely no ordinary person.

"Zhao Chengyue, from Mingzhu Academy." Zhao Chengyue introduced himself, his smile unchanged.

After a brief chat, I got up and left.

On a first meeting, it's best to keep it brief and to the point. He deeply understood the principle that too much of a good thing is bad.

"If nothing unexpected happens."

Zhao Chengyue walked to the pavilion entrance, turned back, and revealed a meaningful smile:

"We should be able to see each other again this afternoon."

Mu Ningxue watched Zhao Chengyue's figure disappear into the depths of the shady path with a cool and aloof expression. Her face remained calm, but her heart was filled with ripples.

Pearl Academy...

It seems this exchange match will be against a formidable opponent...

It could even be... a crushing defeat!
A barely perceptible sigh silently dissipated in her heart.

Without lingering, her long, straight legs supported her slender yet powerful body as she stepped out of the pavilion, her jade-like feet, as if formed from ice crystals.

The sunlight outside the pavilion seemed to dim somewhat because of the heavy chill emanating from her.

Fighting Hall.

"Luo Song, you're a smart man too. You know the saying 'better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.' Knowing you couldn't make it in our capital, you ran off to Mingzhu."

Xu Dalong crossed his arms and looked at the short, fat, bespectacled Luo Song in front of him, and said jokingly.

"hehe."

Luo Song scoffed dismissively.

"Do you think the capital city can continue to be number one this year as it has in previous years? After today, the so-called number one university, the top university in the Dragon Kingdom, will be a joke!"

After he said that, even Luo Song felt a strange sense of absurdity.

The reason he could say these words was because of Zhao Chengyue, whom he had once resented!
However, after that incident, Luo Song's hatred for Zhao Chengyue lessened considerably.

The gap was too large, he couldn't even catch up with it, so he couldn't even feel hatred!
