Chapter 95

On Monday, when Luo Feng returned to the academy, he saw Aaron with a stern face as soon as he entered the dormitory. Luo Feng immediately asked, "Aaron, what's wrong with you?"

Aaron glared at him, "What's wrong with me? Humph, you did a fine job!"

Could it be that he found out? This roommate is a big fan of Scarlett, and it looks like he's jealous?

Luo Feng felt a bit guilty and didn't dare to hide anything, "You misunderstood, I don't have anything with Scarlett!"

Aaron slammed his hand on the table, "You still say nothing happened? You two went on a date!"

Luo Feng explained, "What date? I just called her out to talk things through, because there were too many people at the registration desk, and it wasn't a good place to talk."

Aaron pressed on, "Oh, so what did you talk about?"

"I told her that I don't have anything worth her liking."

"What did she say?"

"Well, she said she just needed someone as a shield, so other guys wouldn't bother her, and she just happened to choose me."

"Is that really true?"

"Really."

"Hmph, I don't believe you, look me in the eye and say it again!"

Luo Feng had no choice but to stare at Aaron, and suddenly his heart felt a bit fluttery, as if he had been zapped by Scarlett. Luo Feng couldn't help but say, "Aaron, your eyes are a bit like Scarlett's."

Aaron also felt a bit uncomfortable, but it quickly passed, "Don't change the subject, hurry up and say it."

Luo Feng steadied himself, "Really, Aaron, I absolutely didn't lie to you."

He thought to himself, this is just a white lie to prevent Aaron from getting jealous; I didn't have any ill intentions.

Liar, what a big liar. I never thought this idiot, who looks so honest on the surface, could lie so smoothly. If I weren't the one involved, I would have been fooled by him.

"Hmph, I'm not talking to you!" Aaron stormed out, leaving Luo Feng very confused.

Didn't I clarify that there's nothing between Scarlett and me? Why is Aaron still so angry, or does he not believe me?

When he entered the class before the lesson, a classmate who was very familiar with Luo Feng teased him, "Class president, you're really something, even a goddess like Scarlett has her eye on you, it's making us all green with envy. But that's good, at least the benefits stay within the group. If you really get Scarlett, bring her to the academy more often so we can feast our eyes on her!"

Another classmate chimed in, "How was the date the other night? Did you make any progress? Any details, come on, spill the beans!"

The last classmate was quite explicit, making Aaron's face turn red.

Luo Feng glanced at Aaron, afraid he would lose his temper again after hearing this nonsense. Fortunately, there were no signs of his roommate going berserk. He then scolded the two classmates, "What details? Your minds are so dirty. Can't you be a bit more pure? Get lost, you boring guys. If you have time to gossip, you should focus more on your cultivation!"

"Ha ha, cultivation also needs a balance of work and rest. We're not boring, boss. If you hook up with Scarlett, you'll have a lot more to talk about in the academy. You won't be able to stay quiet even if you want to!"

These two classmates weren't wrong. The storm caused by Scarlett might intensify, and Luo Feng started to feel a headache again.

However, compared to the idle talk of others, the stronger challenges he might face in the academy's competition due to Scarlett were coming soon. All those little Scarlett fans would probably hope he would die a miserable death on the field.

After preparing for a few days, the Holy City Academy Competition finally arrived as scheduled.

The event was scheduled for the weekend, and the venue was the Victoria City Public Arena. Most of the students from the Holy City's several academies came to the public arena. Even if they couldn't participate, observing the excellent students' matches was very beneficial, making the public arena particularly lively.

As soon as Luo Feng entered the arena, he was overwhelmed by the noisy crowd. It was his first time experiencing such a scene, and he felt a bit nervous, sticking out his tongue, "Aaron, I didn't expect there to be so many people!"

Aaron sneered, "Pfft, are you scared?"

"Of course not!" Thinking of the energy crystal, Luo Feng mustered his courage.

The competition started quickly, with over 500 qualified participants, divided by grade, with nearly 100 participants per grade. The requirements for the third-year students' aura levels were already quite high, so they were all non-ordinary. The first dozen matches confirmed this, with most participants reaching the third stage of magic aura, and a few even reaching the fourth or fifth stage.

After waiting for nearly two hours, it was finally Luo Feng's turn.

Almost as soon as he stepped onto the field, Luo Feng caught the attention of many people, as many had witnessed his brief exchange with Scarlett on the registration day.

Both the Holy Virtue Academy and the Starlight Academy had heard about Luo Feng and Scarlett, but the other academies found it quite fresh.

"Look, that's the guy from the Starlight Academy. Scarlett actually cheered him on and even accepted his date!"

"No way, him? He looks so ordinary, what does Scarlett see in him?"

"Who knows, Scarlett's tastes are very unique, and most people can't understand her."

"But since Scarlett chose him, he must be strong, right?"

"Starlight Academy, they're a bit better than us, but how strong can they be?"

"Ha ha, we'll soon know how much he's worth when it's his turn to compete!"

"What a pity, his opponent is from the Randy Academy. If it were from the Holy Virtue Academy or the Dilin Academy, it would be more interesting."

"..."

Luo Feng's opponent was a male student from the Randy Academy named Sam. This was a medium-level academy in Victoria City, slightly inferior to the Starlight Academy, and not many students could pass the preliminary selection to reach the competition stage.

Not daring to be careless, Sam immediately boosted his aura to the limit at the start of the match, reaching the third stage of magic aura, which glowed a deep blue, like flowing water, indicating he was a water element practitioner.

Water element is a versatile aura that can be used for attack, defense, and healing in the later stages. Its evolved forms, frost and ice, have considerable destructive power and are very versatile. However, in the early stages, it cannot heal, and its attack power is weak before it reaches the higher forms of frost and ice, making its growth slower compared to other elements.

Seeing Sam use water element aura, many people couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

"Hmph, that guy's luck is really good. His first opponent is a water element!"

"At this level, other elements, except for fire, have an advantage over water."

"Right, unless he's a fire element, he should have no problem advancing in this round."

"..."

Sam was also a bit nervous, as he understood the awkward position of the water element at this stage. He could only pray in his heart, "He's a fire element, he's a fire element..."

"Chh!"

Luo Feng's aura also appeared, and Sam's wish didn't come true. The male student from the Randy Academy was wide-eyed with surprise and disbelief.

No way, attributeless magic aura?

Many in the audience were also stunned, as attributeless magic aura practitioners were extremely rare, even rarer than light and dark space elements.

"Is this a joke? His magic aura has no attribute!"

"With Scarlett's strength, how could she like someone with no attribute magic aura?"

"She has that taste, this kid is lucky, but Scarlett will probably lose interest soon. After all, in this world, only the strong have true charm!"

"..."

Sam was extremely excited. Ha ha ha, great, I didn't expect his magic aura to be attributeless, even worse than fire!

So what if he's at the fourth stage? I'm definitely going to win this match. At a similar aura level, an attributeless magic aura practitioner is no match for one with an attribute. Even though my water element aura isn't very effective at this stage, I still have a significant advantage over an attributeless magic aura practitioner!

Although he didn't expect to make it to the top ten and win a prize, Sam didn't want to go home after the first match. It would be better to win one more match, and especially since this guy is supposedly the one Scarlett likes, winning against him would be a great honor.

With this in mind, Sam charged at Luo Feng, his aura forming layers of waves.

Lower Orange Rank Aura Skill — Great Waves!

This move was quite impressive, at least in terms of the water element's multi-layered force technique, which was Sam's most proud skill.

See, even though my water element aura is still weak, my technique can't be underestimated!

Luo Feng launched his attack, and his aura also formed layers of waves, making Sam pause.

This kid actually has a good grasp of the water element's multi-layered force technique, but without the water element attribute, your move is just a hollow form and can't unleash its full power. How can you possibly compete with me?

The lower-level water element has the characteristic of being soft and overcoming hard, without much noise or fiery scenes. When the two waves collided, unexpectedly, Sam's wave was swallowed, and Luo Feng's attributeless magic aura wave surged toward his opponent.

Sam only had time to use a water shield for defense before being directly washed off the field, marking the end of the match.

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, all shocked by this unimaginable result.

A one-stage difference in attribute magic aura and attributeless magic aura, and the attribute side lost, and was even taken down in one move. How much power must the attributeless side have to achieve this?

Sam sat on the ground, completely bewildered and confused.
