Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

"Good!" Mu Nu Jiao said with a chuckle. Mu Ningxue's teasing words also relaxed Mu Nu Jiao a lot.

The two walked off the stage with smiles, leaving Lin Chen with a blank expression.

Mo Fan in the distance patted Zhao Manyan on the shoulder and said, "See, I was right!"

"Damn, that works too!" Zhao Manyan said, looking defeated.

Seeing Lin Chen walking down from the stage, Zhao Manyan immediately went up to him, pulling him aside to ask for advice.

Lin Chen didn't have much experience to teach, so he could only pretend to be mysterious and tell him, "Don't envy me, bro. I'm just a legend!"

…

With the end of this competition between the Imperial Capital Academy and the Pearl Academy, it also meant that the wilderness training would begin in a few days.

Students usually cultivate in places like academies and cities. Even if they have practical experience, it's only against other mages. Ultimately, there are still many shortcomings, so training that directly confronts magical beasts is essential.

A powerful mage doesn't necessarily need great strength; more important is how to survive in the wilderness where magical beasts run rampant.

The academy's training is not like the small-scale activities of the Advanced Preparatory Department, but rather directly dispatching students outside the safe zone, without the guidance of instructors or the protection of hunters. The students must overcome numerous difficulties on their own, and they must face the magical beasts themselves.

The area outside the safe zone is fraught with danger. In this world where magical beasts roam everywhere, life is constantly at risk.

Of course, deaths during this kind of training are unavoidable, but as a mage, from the day they awaken their own magic system, they should be prepared for such a possibility.

The final result of this competition spread quickly, and Dean Xiao of Pearl Academy naturally received the news very quickly.

Lin Chen's strength was beyond doubt. From the moment Lin Chen agreed to go, Dean Xiao had already guessed the final result.

What he didn't expect was that Mu Nu Jiao had emerged. Dean Xiao also had some understanding of Mu Ningxue's strength. She was a top-tier existence in the Imperial Capital Academy. Being able to draw with Mu Ningxue greatly boosted the morale of Pearl Academy.

The academy also announced the good news at Pearl Academy. For a time, Lin Chen and Mu Nu Jiao became the male and female gods of Pearl Academy, deeply admired by the students.

As the situation escalated, the video of the competition between the two academies also spread. The Imperial Capital Academy became a stepping stone for Pearl Academy. Some even made a combat power assessment report and a talent ranking.

Based solely on Mu Nu Jiao's strength, she could suppress the Imperial Capital Academy. Adding a powerful weapon like Lin Chen, it was clear that Pearl Academy had come to challenge them this time.

This conclusion quickly spread. The Imperial Capital Academy was helpless and could only endure it silently. After all, the strength of Pearl Academy's students was evident, and Lin Chen was an insurmountable mountain.

The Imperial Capital Academy had known this for a long time. Ever since they lost the competition, they had hoped to regain the reputation of the Imperial Capital Academy as soon as possible.

They had originally wanted to control the development of the situation, but they didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Now it was too late to control it. Because of this, the school leaders of the Imperial Capital Academy hated Pearl Academy.

According to the talent ranking, Lin Chen's talent ranking was not high, not even in the top ten.

Whether it was this competition or the previous Fire Institute Challenge, Lin Chen hadn't revealed too much. Lin Chen's combat power all came from his extremely high magic control.

However, Lin Chen's Advanced strength could no longer be concealed. In the previous Fire Institute Challenge, Lin Chen used both the Summoning System and the Fire System. During this competition, Lin Chen also demonstrated the Ice System.

After learning about Lin Chen's Advanced strength, the Imperial Capital Academy even complained that Pearl Academy was being unsportsmanlike, sending an Advanced Mage to participate when they could have already graduated. Wasn't this a slap in the face to the Imperial Capital Academy?

Fortunately, after Lin Chen's age was announced, the situation completely calmed down. Breaking through to the Advanced level before the age of twenty meant that continuing to argue about it would only make the Imperial Capital Academy lose face.

The facts were there, so who could they blame? They could only blame themselves for not cultivating properly. Why could Lin Chen break through to the Advanced level before the age of twenty?

Although Lin Chen had revealed his Advanced strength, he wasn't worried. Even if Lin Chen cultivated faster, certain organizations wouldn't come to bother him. Even if Lin Chen had extremely high control, it could be concealed through a Soul Seed.

After returning to the apartment, Lin Chen saw that Mu Nu Jiao had also returned. Mu Nu Jiao gave Lin Chen a mysterious look, but didn't say much.

Teacher Gu Han saw that everyone had returned and said to everyone, "Next, you will go outside the safe zone for training. This training has no protective measures, so if you encounter danger, no one will save you!"

"Ah? No protection at all?" Teacher Gu Han's words immediately caused an uproar.

Those who can be sent by the academy as exchange students must have a certain amount of strength. Students with strong strength during their university years have basically had their respective families invest a lot of resources. Obviously, the identities of these students are not low, and most of them are from aristocratic families or are wealthy second-generation heirs.

People with a certain background naturally cherish their lives. Students like Zhao Manyan and Shen Mingxiao were stunned when they heard Teacher Gu Han's words.

Teacher Gu Han explained, "We will issue you a light magic signal pen. If you are trapped somewhere, we will send rescue to save you, provided you are still alive."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions froze.

"In previous years, there have been deaths and injuries during training. In short, I hope that when you step into the training, you must not have the slightest bit of relaxation, and don't do anything risky. Perhaps you think that even if you encounter a few magical beasts, you can easily deal with them, but what I want to tell you is, don't think things are so simple!" Teacher Gu Han said very seriously at this time.

"You usually have magical beast classes, and instructors will explain some information about outside the safe zone. The truth is that most of these teachers who teach you have never even stepped outside the safe zone themselves. Do you think the things they tell you can save your lives when you encounter danger… that's not very realistic. In short, be careful in everything. However many people go out, that many people must return!" Teacher Qiu Yuhua couldn't help but say.

Looking at the few disappointing students, these teachers were also very worried.

They also gave everyone pertinent advice, which was to bring a good set of armor magic tools, so that even if they encountered danger, they could save their lives.

The students who can appear here basically have good family backgrounds, and they generally don't lack ordinary magic tools. There are still five days before the day to go to the training.
