Chapter 70: I Am Your Idol
〚 Xi Wei’er: Female, Age: 27, Magic Level: Mid-level Grand Mage, Curse Star: Leo 4432, Curse: Infertility 〛
〚 Wang Defa: Male, Age: 34, Magic Level: High-level Grand Mage, Curse Star: Sagittarius 29913, Curse: Intermittent blindness in the left eye 〛
〚 Min Jiangyun: Male, Age: 26, Magic Level: High-level Grand Mage, Curse Star: Pisces 1837, Curse: 3 seconds of true manhood 〛
At this moment, Min Jiangyun below heard Yan Ran beside him recognizing Chen Ling, and a faint glint of unnoticed coldness flashed in his eyes: “Yan Ran, who is he?”
Yan Ran smiled with narrowed eyes, looking at Chen Ling in the sky: “I just met him today. He’s young but very powerful!”
Min Jiangyun squinted his eyes in response, saying nothing. On the other hand, Wang Defa sneered: “Powerful, huh? In the end, he’s just a child-” Before he finished speaking, Chen Ling appeared in front of the four of them in a flash.
They were startled.
What kind of sorcery was this? They didn’t see any golden spells and didn’t sense any energy fluctuations. How did he get here?
As they were astonished, countless incantations lit up around Chen Ling.
“Hold on!” Yan Ran and Chen Ling said simultaneously.
The three people beside them immediately stopped their spellcasting and looked at both of them with confusion. Since both of them said so, it seemed that there was no hostility, but the spells were not revoked either.
Golden spells continued to hover in the pitch-black night, illuminating the entire street. If Chen Ling had any malicious intentions, they would join forces to eliminate him.
Yan Ran smiled and looked at Chen Ling: “Chen Ling, right? Which academy are you from? Your strength is unexpectedly powerful!”
Chen Ling responded indifferently, “God Vocational Academy.”
Yan Ran pondered for a moment upon hearing that, as she didn’t recall hearing about this academy before. He’s not from the Twelve Academies!
She felt delighted in her heart. Since he wasn’t from the Twelve Academies, things would be easier. No one could refuse an invitation from the Twelve Academies!
“Chen Ling, would you like to come to our academy?”
Min Jiangyun looked displeased as he glanced at Yan Ran: “Yan Ran? What are you doing?”
As one of the Twelve Academies, the prestigious White Aries Celestial Academy couldn’t simply recruit any random person.
Yan Ran glanced at them and smiled: “Believe me, this young man has incredibly strong abilities! He is undoubtedly a one-of-a-kind genius in history!”
As a genius herself, Yan Ran was also someone who appreciated talent. It was one of the reasons she became a mentor. She still hadn’t fully grasped Chen Ling’s true strength until now.
After all, earlier in the day, Chen Ling had an element of surprise in his attack. So she believed that even if Chen Ling had talent and considerable strength, it wouldn’t be too exaggerated.
“How about it, Chen Ling? Consider it. Coming to our academy would be the best choice for you.”
Chen Ling smiled but didn’t speak but Min Jiangyun beside him frowned and said: “This is not in accordance with the rules.”
“The Joint Grand Examination is in a few days. If he truly has the ability, he can give it a try. There’s no need to rush into a decision,” he added.
Yan Ran also felt a sense of urgency after listening to them. She looked at Chen Ling seriously and asked, “Chen Ling, will you participate in the Joint Grand Examination in a few days?”
Chen Ling suddenly grinned and bared his teeth. “Before that, can I shake hands with all of you?”
Yan Ran: ???
Suddenly, she had a bad feeling in her heart!
The others squinted their eyes and looked at him with disdain on their faces.
Chen Ling concealed his energy at this moment; otherwise, he was afraid of scaring these people away.
Seeing their lack of response, Chen Ling pretended to be surprised and said, “I’ve always wanted to shake hands with all of you! I’m your idol, you know!”
Everyone: ???
Who is whose idol?
“Cough, sorry, I misspoke. You are my idols!” he quickly corrected himself. As he spoke, he extended his hand.
“Hehe~” The woman named Xi Wei’er had golden hair and a high-bridged nose. She had an exotic charm to her appearance. She lightly covered her mouth and smiled, saying, “This little brother is quite interesting.”
She then reached out her hand.
“Hold on!” Yan Ran suddenly felt a shock in her heart.
“Snap!”
〚 Ding~ Target, Xi Wei’er, successfully bound! 〛
Xi Wei’er smiled and looked at Yan Ran, asking, “Huh? What’s the matter, Ranran?”
Yan Ran frowned, looking at the smiling Chen Ling, and couldn’t help but doubt herself.
Inner thoughts: Am I overthinking?
She had thought that before Chen Ling suddenly made a move, he would shake hands first. But it seemed that he didn’t have that intention now?
“Hehe~ Thank you!” Chen Ling then extended his hand towards Yan Ran, smiling brightly as he said, “I’m really sorry about earlier.” He certainly couldn’t let Yan Ran ruin his good mood, so he had to appease her first.
Yan Ran was momentarily stunned but also extended her hand.
They lightly shook hands, and Yan Ran said, “It’s fine.”
“Hehe~ That’s good,” Chen Ling responded with a smile.
Then he reached out his hand towards Min Jiangyun and said, “Hello, Mentor Min Jiangyun! I have always been your idol!”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Min Jiangyun’s mouth as he said calmly, “Don’t touch me with your dirty hands.”
Chen Ling’s smile remained on his face. “Oh~”
He then reached out to Wang Defa on the other side and said, “Mentor Wang Defa, can I shake your hand?”
After being rejected by Min Jiangyun, Wang Defa was surprised that this young man dared to approach him. He found this youth somewhat interesting.
Without expression, Wang Defa extended his hand.
〚 Ding~ Target: Wang Defa, binding successful! 〛
“Haha! Thank you, thank you,” Chen Ling maintained his smile.
“Snap!” A crisp sound.
He gave Wang Defa a slap! The sound was clear and loud.
Wang Defa was dumbfounded. He didn’t see Chen Ling make any move, but he felt like his face had been slapped. The strength of the slap was light, causing minimal damage but immense insult!
Chen Ling now understood that giving someone a good beating didn’t cause as much emotional damage as lightly slapping them. You could never imagine how much damage a small gesture could inflict on someone’s psyche.
Not only was Wang Defa dumbfounded, but the other three mentors were as well!
This kid dared to strike a high-level Grand Mage!? And he did it right in front of them.
〚 Ding~ Target: Wang Defa: Exceptional Anger! Score -10! 〛
“Tsk.”
“Snap!”
Chen Ling slapped Xi Wei’er lightly as well. Equally gentle.
“You’re asking for death!” Wang Defa finally reacted.
“Bang~” A powerful energy wave caused several Grand Mages present to take a few steps back simultaneously.
When Wang Defa finished speaking, Chen Ling had already kicked him away, disappearing into the sky.
The remaining three couldn’t help but look up, but they could no longer see their Comrade Wang Defa…
He vanished like a fleeting meteor.
“Chen Ling!”
Yan Ran quickly spoke up to stop him.
〚 Ding~ Target Xi Wei’er feels shame! Score: -10! 〛
“Ah…” Chen Ling sighed. What kind of person could lose many points?
At that moment, both Xi Wei’er and Min Jiangyun made their move! They unleashed their most powerful attacks!
The exclusive high-level spell of the Leo constellation: 〚 Shadow of the Lion’s Heart Break! 〛
The spells of the Leo constellation were mostly close-quarters combat spells with terrifying explosive power!
With just a light step, Xi Wei’er made Chen Ling feel as if his body had become heavy, sinking the ground several meters beneath him! Chen Ling didn’t expect Xi Wei’er, who appeared gentle and weak, to fight with such impact.
In an instant, she arrived in front of him and threw a punch. Suddenly, a colossal lion appeared in front of Chen Ling, standing tens of meters tall, its massive jaws burning with terrifying flames. It pounced towards him.
In the face of that gigantic lion, Chen Ling seemed as small and helpless as an ant.
“Get lost.” Chen Ling directly slapped the colossal lion.
Without making contact, they only heard a deafening explosion. The entire Aries Celestial Academy seemed to tremble.
“BOOM~”
The colossal lion’s head was directly sent flying and crashed into the buildings of the academy.
“Rumble~!” Wherever it went, all the structures were destroyed.
One-fifth of the academy was directly devastated by the mighty spell!
Xi Wei’er was astonished by the sight and quickly stopped her movement, canceling the spell that sent the lion head flying. The lion head slid for dozens of meters before dissipating completely.
She immediately probed the surroundings with her aura and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were no students in that direction, or else they would have been obliterated by her punch.
But what surprised her the most was the strength of the young man before her. He didn’t even touch her attack, yet he managed to deflect it? What kind of spell was this? It was truly incomprehensible!
Meanwhile, Min Jiangyun’s Pisces constellation exclusive spell was also ready.
〚 Pisces · Mirror Reflection of the Moon 〛
Chen Ling stood in place, expressionless, watching the world before him gradually distort. The world seemed to sink into the depths of the ocean, and Chen Ling’s vision gradually became lost. Powerful energy enveloped him, making it impossible for him to escape, not that he cared to…
Then Min Jiangyun was about to speak.
Yan Ran suddenly interrupted: “Wait! Don’t kill him!”
Min Jiangyun sneered inwardly: Just die.
“Dream Shatter!” 〚 Pisces · Mirror Reflection of the Moon 〛
It was a two-stage skill, with the first stage being control and the second stage being annihilation. When Dream Shatter descended, everything within the range of the spell would crumble and collapse! Everything in the space would be destroyed.
People without strong enough defenses wouldn’t dare to directly face this move. Of course, it could be countered with a special attack. In this world, there were no unbeatable spells, only an unbeatable Chen Ling.
