Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

On the instructor's platform, a teacher said to Wei Rong, "Director Wei, Dongfang Lie's emotions seem off today. I'm worried he might go too far in a moment!"

Wei Rong remained unmoved and said, "Oh? That's good. It's time to teach those who are arrogant and incompetent a lesson!"

Hearing this, Dean Xiao almost laughed out loud. Now, it should be Dongfang Lie who needs to worry about danger, not Lin Chen.

"Don't worry, Lin Chen's strength is not simple! Besides, Teacher Bai Mei is here, nothing will happen!" Dean Xiao said. He didn't elaborate further. Knowing Lin Chen, he should be a reasonable person and wouldn't seriously injure Dongfang Lie.

Standing beside him, Teacher Bai Mei smiled slightly, calmly watching the arena.

In the arena, Dongfang Lie looked at Lin Chen's indifferent and confident demeanor, and the anger in his heart intensified.

Instantly, the flames within Dongfang Lie erupted. He stomped his right foot, and scorching flames danced around him. The star map was outlined in an instant, his angry gaze fixed on Lin Chen.

"Fist of Fire—Nine Palaces!" Dongfang Lie didn't hesitate and used his strongest intermediate magic right from the start.

Fist of Fire—Nine Palaces has always been known for its violence. Clearly, Dongfang Lie wanted to go all out and strive for a decisive victory!

The Fist of Fire bombarded the arena, and the entire stadium shook.

The ground suddenly exploded, and a startling pillar of fire shot out. Then, the second and third pillars of fire erupted at the same time...

A series of nine pillars of fire formed an astonishing Nine Palaces formation. The arena was a fiery red, the fire pillars intersecting and reflecting each other, forming a pool of molten flames.

In the center of the Nine Palaces flames, Dongfang Lie, burning all over, roared. The power of the Fist of Fire—Nine Palaces instantly reached its peak, all the terrifying energy rushing towards Lin Chen's summoned beast.

Lin Chen remained motionless, his body already enveloped in a transparent soul force. The scorching flames couldn't hurt him in the slightest.

The next moment, Yin'er's branches swayed gently.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Nine dark green branches suddenly rose from the nine pillars of fire, the branches swaying in the fire pillars, not afraid of the terrifying flames at all.

"How is this possible!" Dongfang Lie, like a fire god, was immediately surprised to see this scene.

Lin Chen yawned and looked at Dongfang Lie with a smile: "Forgot to tell you, my little plant-type summoned beast! It doesn't have any great skills, but it's... fire-immune!"

Dongfang Lie's fire magic power was indeed good, but in front of Yin'er, it was nothing more than that. Yin'er, who had already experienced the Ice-Fire Body Tempering, although not truly immune to ice and fire, how could flames of this power hurt it?

"Wow..."

As soon as Lin Chen's words fell, there was an uproar all around. Although the facts were in front of them, no one was willing to believe what Lin Chen said.

If it was true, let alone Dongfang Lie, this plant-type summoned beast was probably the nightmare of all the students in the Fire Institute.

Lin Chen's words didn't cause much damage, but the insult was directly maxed out. How arrogant Dongfang Lie was before, how painful his face was slapped now.

On the instructor's platform, Teacher Bai Mei said with a smile, "It seems the Dean was right, this young man Lin Chen is not simple!"

Dean Xiao smiled slightly. He thought Lin Chen's strength was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that plant to have such abilities.

Teacher Wei Rong's face twitched when he heard Teacher Bai Mei's words. Lin Chen's words not only slapped Dongfang Lie's face, but also slapped his face.

"Impossible... Destroy it for me!"

Dongfang Lie couldn't believe it. As his voice sounded, the flames around him intensified, and the nine pillars of fire became even more vigorous, as if trying to devour the swaying branches in the fire pillars at all costs.

Lin Chen shook his head. He originally wanted to play with Dongfang Lie, but he didn't expect him to talk so much. Since that's the case, Lin Chen might as well be a big villain!

Lin Chen said with a face full of disdain: "It seems that your ability to talk big is stronger than your magic level. If you only have this level, I advise you to just admit defeat!"

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something, paused, and then continued: "No, you can't admit defeat. You will definitely say that I won unfairly. As a student of the Fire Institute, I didn't defeat you with fire magic, but relied entirely on the strength of my summoned beast to win the competition. In that case... come back, Yin'er."

As soon as the words fell, the branches in the raging fire suddenly disappeared, and the dark green plant summoned beast also disappeared in place.

This sudden scene stunned Dongfang Lie. He didn't expect Lin Chen to suddenly give up his advantage.

Just as Dongfang Lie was puzzled, Lin Chen's voice sounded again, "I will use the fire element that you are so proud of to defeat you!"

With Lin Chen as the center, deep red light emanated from his body. Suddenly, the entire arena was shrouded in deep red light.

"This is a domain? How is this possible!" Dongfang Lie said in horror!

What made Dongfang Lie even more terrified was that at this moment, he could clearly feel his own magic energy being constantly devoured by the red light, and the scorching pillars of fire were also constantly shrinking.

"Wow..."

"Look, what is that!"

"Oh my god, how terrifying!"

"..."

I⊥at the Liu⊥9⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥ first⊥ hair⊥⊥⊥⊥!⊥

I saw that Lin Chen's right hand was raised high, and a fireball appeared above Lin Chen's head. The fireball slowly grew larger. In the blink of an eye, it changed from the size of a fist to a huge fireball with a diameter of five meters. The terrifying fireball did not stop growing larger, and it was still growing larger.

After a while, Dongfang Lie's Fist of Fire Nine Palaces fire pillars were completely extinguished, and the fire magic energy in his body was also completely devoured.

"Terrifying domain, powerful control!" Dean Xiao on the instructor's platform praised.

Lin Chen's domain can not only use the flames in the domain for his own use, but even more powerful is Lin Chen's control over magic. It can also be seen that Lin Chen definitely has extremely high mental power.

Wei Rong also reacted at this moment and asked in disbelief, "Dean, is he a high-level mage?"

Dean Xiao nodded and said, "High-level third rank!"

"This..." All the teachers present showed incredible expressions.

"Why hasn't a high-level third-rank mage graduated yet?" Wei Rong asked in confusion.

Dean Xiao smiled and said, "He's only nineteen years old this year, and he can participate in all the events!"

"Nineteen years old..." As soon as these words came out, all the teachers were stunned!

Normally speaking, a high-level mage can completely graduate from Pearl Academy. Even most of the teachers at Pearl Academy are only high-level cultivators. However, Lin Chen, this alternative, completely doesn't play by the rules!

Wei Rong said with a face full of grievance: "Dean Xiao, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Dean Xiao chuckled and said, "Didn't you ask!"
