Chapter 7 Elite Class

"Why is Xu Mu's lightning seal more powerful than mine... ahem, than Xu Zhaoting from the next class?"

Mo Fan’s eyes almost popped out of his head. They were both level one lightning seals, so why was Xu Mu’s lightning seal higher than his and Xu Zhaoting’s from the next class?

This kid must be cheating. He was so anxious that he almost revealed the secret of the thunder element.

"Are you a student of this school? You don't even know about Xu Mu." Tang Yue, who was standing at the back of the team, rolled her eyes.

"Teacher Tang Yue, do you know what's going on?" Mo Fan quickly approached Tang Yue and asked with a curious expression.

"Xu Mu's talent is a natural spirit seed. This kind of talent can greatly increase the power of magic..."

As she spoke, she did not forget to carefully observe Mo Fan's expression. Even she, a teacher who had just arrived, knew Xu Mu's talent, but Mo Fan, Xu Mu's classmate, did not know it. She did not know what to say.

“Born with a spiritual seed…” Mo Fan muttered to himself, “I’ve heard before that Xu Mu also has a talent. So this is it.”

……

"What a powerful force." Deng Kai's eyes lit up and he stared straight at Xu Mu.

With the blessing of three times the basic power, this attack is already comparable to the power of the second-level magic thunder seal - Crazy Strategy, and it can even be said to be stronger.

Being able to cast magic at this age is already a rare magical genius, not to mention that he is also born with spiritual energy.

Although he is not particularly skilled in controlling the stars, the difference in talent is enough to make all the difference. In the future, their Bo City will have another student who can be admitted to a top university.

"Yes, elemental spirit seeds are rare items. Xu Mu has an promising future since he can possess them at the initial stage." Principal Zhu said with a smile.

"Principal Zhu, I wonder if this student Xu Mu has joined the aristocratic family?" Mu Zhuoyun turned to ask Principal Zhu.

As the head of the Mu family, Mu Zhuoyun needs to consider the family when doing things.

The potential shown by Xu Mu is no less than that of his daughter Mu Ningxue. She is a magical genius. If she can be allowed to join the Mu family, it will be a very beneficial thing for the Mu family.

Although Mu Ningxue has always been the leader among the younger generation of the Mu family, the other direct and collateral descendants need to be cultivated in order to consolidate the power of their family.

If the Mu family does not cultivate other children to strengthen the family strength, it will go downhill, and the title of local emperor of Bo City will be handed over to others sooner or later.

"I've talked to him about this before, but he has no intention of joining the aristocratic family." Principal Zhu shook his head and said with some regret.

He was aware of Xu Mu's talent, and he also had a natural aptitude for thunder magic. As long as he was trained, it would be almost certain that he would be admitted to the Imperial Capital Academy.

Tianlan Magic High School is just an ordinary civilian high school with limited resources, and even fewer resources can be allocated to each student.

The resources Xu Mu can get are actually very few, no more than other students. It is impossible for the school to vigorously develop Xu Mu just because of his outstanding talents. This is unfair to other students.

The best way is to join an aristocratic family, use the resources provided by the aristocratic family to practice, and in return join the aristocratic family. He had discussed this with Xu Mu before, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party.

No matter what, joining an aristocratic family would only restrict his freedom and hinder his practice of magic. It would be better for him to be free and practice well on his own.

What bullshit!

Constraint? On the path of magic practice, the biggest constraint is not having resources to support you because you want to save face.

He has served as the principal for many years and has seen many talented students, including students who have awakened the thunder element.

Because he was young and proud, he felt that joining the aristocratic family would make him lose face in the eyes of his classmates, so he refused to join the family.

He could have been admitted to a first-rate magic university, but because he did not join a noble family, his personal resources were scarce and his practice progress was slow. In the end, he lost the opportunity to enter a first-rate magic university and could only choose a second-rate or even third-rate university.

“Principal Zhu, let’s go talk to him. After all, for a mage, obtaining resources is crucial.” Mu Zhuoyun suggested.

The Mu family has a huge influence in Bo City and can provide others with unexpectedly rich resources. With a personal invitation from him, the head of the Mu family, he doesn't believe that anyone would refuse such enormous wealth.

……

"You showed off your skills in the magic test and achieved good results, and obtained the magic-slaying tool "Raging Flame Sword""

Demon Slayer: Raging Flame Sword Grade: Spiritual

Effect: Release a level 3 intermediate magic

Note: Disposable item, disappears after use
A system notification sounded in his ears, and a smile appeared on Xu Mu's face. He didn't expect that the reward given by the system this time would be a demon-slaying tool.

The magic-slaying tool is a disposable magic tool, and its cost-effectiveness is not particularly high, but its advantage is that it allows low-level magicians to release damage that only high-level magicians can cause.

When you encounter an invincible demon, the demon-slaying tool is your life-saving straw.

At this moment, the examiner completed the final scoring and gave three highest level S-level evaluations.

"Both Stardust and Magic Release received S grades, double S grades. Xu Mu must be the top grade in the class."

Although the assessment has not yet ended, everyone believes that Xu Mu is already number one in the grade, and those who take the test later cannot be better than Xu Mu.

Unless someone can release level 2 magic and cast it faster than Xu Mu, but that is impossible.

"Xu Mu, come here." Principal Zhu waved to Xu Mu.

"Principal?" Xu Mu was wondering why the principal called him over, and then he found that Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue were also present.

Now he understood why the principal called him. It turned out that he still hoped to persuade him to join the aristocratic family.

"Xu Mu, you have great talent. If you are willing to join the Mu family, I can provide you with a large amount of resources to ensure that you can be admitted to the Imperial Capital Academy." Mu Zhuoyun said.

"I appreciate Uncle Mu's kindness, but I have no intention of joining any faction." Xu Mu politely declined.

"Xu Mu, you really need to think about this again." Mu Zhuoyun frowned and said, his tone revealing obvious dissatisfaction.

"With your talent and the support of the Mu family, you will have the opportunity to stand at a higher starting point. Not everyone has such an opportunity."

His eyes were fixed on Xu Mu, as if he wanted to get a satisfactory answer from him.

"Uncle Mu, I have thought it through clearly." Xu Mu continued to refuse.

Faced with Xu Mu's continuous rejections, no matter how good-tempered Mu Zhuoyun was, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

If Xu Mu's talent had not been so astonishing, Mu Zhuoyun would have probably left when Xu Mu refused for the first time.

"Brother Mu, let me talk to him." Principal Zhu interrupted.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Principal Zhu." Mu Zhuoyun nodded in agreement.

Principal Zhu took Xu Mu aside, his tone revealed his disappointment at Xu Mu's stubbornness, and persuaded him: "Xu Mu, you really should think about it carefully. Joining the Mu family will only benefit you, not harm you."

"Principal, I am already old. I have seen many talented mages fail due to the lack of resources, and end up being stuck at the beginner level for their entire lives."

"Principal, you don't have to persuade me anymore. There is no way I can join a noble family." Xu Mu refused firmly.

It's not like he is without resources, so why would he sell out his freedom for the few resources from the aristocratic families?
With the system at hand, he didn't have to worry about resources at all. He just needed to practice peacefully.

Even if the system disappeared, he still had the natural talent to double his training speed, so it was almost certain that he would be admitted to Mingzhu Academy.

……

……

While he was talking with Principal Zhu, Xu Mu did not notice that on the podium, there was a sharp gaze following his every move.

"A natural spirit... If the opponent is Xu Mu, it will be very difficult for Yu Ang to defeat him." Mu He muttered to himself.

If Xu Mu chose to join the aristocratic family and gain support from the family's resources, it would be even more impossible for Yu Ang to win.

"Lord Saran's plan cannot afford to fail. We must resolve this problem in advance."
