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

Chapter 30: Top of the Talent Ranking, Ice Phoenix Breaks Through? Mu Ningxue Makes a Phone Call?!

"Zhao, you've really given us a wonderful surprise."

In the living room of the Imperial Academy Apartment, Professor Gu Han sat opposite Zhao Chengyue, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration, and his words still carrying a trace of lingering shock.

On the coffee table, Zhao Chengyue was leisurely sipping his cola.

Zhao Chengyue simply smiled faintly and did not respond.

The presentation just now was impressive enough; any words of modesty would seem pretentious and inferior to them.

"By the way, Zhao."

Gu Han carefully considered his words before speaking:
"Given the strength you've demonstrated, the upcoming trials won't be very meaningful for you. Your participation might even negatively impact the experience for other students, so..."

Gu Han didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already clear.

Zhao Chengyue nodded knowingly.

"I can choose not to participate in this training."

However, during my three-month exchange program at the university in the capital, will I be allowed to move around freely?

Zhao Chengyue blinked, his tone carrying a hint of matter-of-fact:

"Teacher Gu, you know my strength: dual high-level elements, plus a commander-level contracted beast."

Unless it's a high-level mage deliberately targeting me, I'm capable of protecting myself. Besides, there's my family background…”

Gu Han instantly understood what he meant:
"I understand. Young people don't like to be tied down to one place."

However, if you are going to be away from school for an extended period, we hope you can inform us in advance, or call Dean Xiao to explain the situation.

“Of course,” Zhao Chengyue agreed.

After leaving the Imperial Capital Academy, Zhao Chengyue went straight to the Imperial Trade Building in the city center—also one of the Zhao family's properties.

This time, his father, Zhao Lingyun, once again found him a "remembering stone" from a master abroad.

Although it wasn't as big as the last one, it was still about the size of a fist, enough to support his cultivation for quite some time.

"Mid-stage of the fourth realm of spiritual power... After completely absorbing and refining that last mental stone, I should be able to break through to the fifth realm. I hope this one can help me climb all the way to the peak of the fifth realm!"

Zhao Chengyue was making plans in his mind.

The mental power of someone in the mid-stage of the fourth realm is comparable to that of a soul-level elemental species.

Even if his spatial cultivation was only at the mid-level, it was enough to crush a minor commander-level demon like the Winged Wolf.

The only limitation is that it consumes a lot of mental energy, making it difficult to fight for a long time.

This level of spiritual power is by no means ordinary, even among the super-level mages; it could even be considered above average!
He has many different departments, which also has its unique advantages—each breakthrough in a department can lead to a significant increase in mental strength.

With breakthroughs in all six systems in turn, the accumulated spiritual power can achieve a qualitative leap.

As for the great achievement of chasing down Yu Ang and almost eradicating the Shanghai Black Church branch, although the blue-robed deacon escaped by chance, the credit was ultimately attributed to Qin Yu'er's identity as "Hunter Q," helping her hunter level leap to five-star hunter master.

"You won't let me participate in the training? No problem. I'll go to Dongting Lake to take on a few missions and 'coincidentally' run into the training team. That should make perfect sense, right?" Zhao Chengyue's lips curled into a slight smile.

Before leaving the Imperial Trade Building, he made a detour to the Hunter's Hall and accepted several missions with targets at Dongting Lake. This trip would not only allow him to complete his training "encounters" but also improve his hunter level.

There was also the "Blood Shard" that he cared about quite a bit—Mo Fan had successfully borne the Demon element with only four elements, and with six elements, there was no reason why he couldn't do it.

"However, with the 'Special Ability Lock' in hand, there's no need to rush to refine the Blood Essence to awaken the Demon type. Wait until the Ice type breaks through to the Super Rank, and then naturally awaken two new types. At that time, consuming the Blood Essence will save you the trouble of only being able to obtain one new type during the next Super Rank awakening."

Not long after returning to his apartment at the Imperial Capital Academy, his phone rang. Zhao Chengyue was holding the Mind Stone, absorbing its pure energy for meditation. Nourished by the Mind Stone, the bottleneck in his mental power showed faint signs of loosening, and breaking through to the late stage of the fourth realm seemed imminent.

Seeing that the caller ID showed "Zhao Manyan," he answered the call casually:
"Hey." "Bro! You really pulled off an amazing feat this time!"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Manyan's voice was so excited it almost cracked.

"The video of your domain clash with Mu Ningxue is now completely trending on the national university forum!"

"Your natural talent has placed you at the top of the talent rankings! You have countless admirers across universities nationwide! If only I could have all those female fans..."

With the conclusion of the National College Exchange Student Competition, some enthusiasts compiled a list of the publicly revealed magical talents of the younger generation, with Zhao Chengyue's name prominently at the top.

"Get lost, you think you can sleep with your fangirls? You've got a dream come true."

Zhao Chengyue's lips twitched, and he hung up the phone with the Zhao family stud.

I took out my phone and opened the university forum.

On the trending topics list, there were many items highlighted in red, with the number one trending topic being the talent ranking.

He picked up his phone and opened the university forum.

On the trending topics list, several items highlighted in red stood out, with the talent ranking at the top.

Zhao Chengyue, born with a spiritual seed, domain [Absolute Zero].

Majoring in ice, summoning, and water magic.

A freshman at Mingzhu Academy. His ice and summoning skills are both at a high level. According to reliable sources, he possesses a commander-level white tiger war beast and a general-level ice phoenix capable of elemental possession.

Overall assessment of magical talent: terrifyingly powerful, undoubtedly number one!

"Reliable information?" Zhao Chengyue raised an eyebrow.

"Could it be that guy Luo Song?" Although he didn't care much about Luo Song, who knew how much resentment the other party might harbor.

"Before we go on our training, we need to help Bing Ji break through to the Commander level first." Zhao Chengyue stroked his chin.

When I first met Ice Princess, she was still in her infancy.

In terms of bloodline potential alone, she is even superior to Mo Fan's Little Flame Princess.

Zhao Chengyue took a lot of ice-type spirit seeds from the family's treasury to give to it as snacks.

Ice Princess is now just one step away from becoming a Commander-level character.

In fact, the breakthrough was a natural outcome; it just needed time to mature.

But Zhao Chengyue wanted to help Mu Nujiao and the others break through to the Commander level before they went to train.

Zhao Chengyue hadn't invested much in it before, but this time he brought some rare ice-type treasures, which would help it save time in accumulating resources. While breaking through to the Commander level, it could further solidify its foundation, enhance its potential, and pave a broader road for the future.

However, to Zhao Chengyue's surprise, Mu Ningxue took the initiative to approach him.

To be precise, it was Mu Ningxue who obtained his contact information through Mo Fan.

In Zhao Chengyue's mind, the scene from yesterday's arena clearly appeared—Mu Ningxue's cold eyes, after the ice shards dissipated, surprisingly lost their usual calm.

The gaze pierced through the dust and landed directly on him, the shock and disbelief surging within it almost overflowing.

What truly stirred his heart was a ripple he keenly observed beneath that icy backdrop—a radiance that bordered on reverence.
