Chapter 33

"Fan Ge, you might as well stop daydreaming. Yu Ang is a real freak; you don’t even know if you’ll see the sun on the second day of turning eighteen, so don’t even think about marrying the little princess."

"Yu Ang? Hmph, I’ll make him crawl on the ground with his teeth knocked out!"

In the past, Mo Fan would still consider whether he could match Mu’s family, but now, would Mo Fan even fear their young generation?

Left hand fire, burning them to a crisp; right hand lightning seal, blasting them until their skin splits and flesh tears!

...

The final results of the annual assessment were out. When Mo Fan’s name topped the large blackboard with the best score, countless people rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Who was this Mo Fan, a divine being? His exam results were so impressive, surpassing even Xu Zhaoting of the Lightning element and Mu Bai of the Ice element family?

The scores had already shocked countless people, but Mo Fan’s public scolding of Mu Zhuoyun and his challenge to the Mu family’s young generation, witnessed by the school board, quickly spread throughout the school. Soon, Mo Fan became famous, not only as a legendary student who transformed from a slacker to a genius in a second but also as the most reckless student in Bocheng’s history!

Now, those with some experience knew that Tianlan Magic High School was set up for civilian mages. Among the 1,500 students, there were some who were quite powerful, but compared to the more prestigious magic high schools and the wealthy families with deep roots, they were on a completely different level. A mage from the Hunter Alliance, Magic Association, major families, or prominent clans could easily outperform them.

The school was indeed the best choice for a commoner to rise to prominence, but that didn’t mean they could challenge the children of mages and wizards!

Mo Fan completely ignored the six-eyed flying fish of the school. Apart from meditating and practicing his release, he ate when he was hungry and slept when he was tired.

It’s worth mentioning that Mo Fan was assigned to the advanced class.

The advanced class had about 100 students, all taking classes in a large classroom and practicing in a large training ground.

Those in the advanced class had basically mastered 7 stars, though some were not yet particularly proficient in their release.

Thus, during practical classes, it was a showcase of the talents from each element!

The practical class was still taught by Teacher Tang Yue. This new practical teacher was said to have surpassed any other practical teacher in the school. Even though she had only been at the school for less than half a year, the practical classes for the advanced class were to be taught by her.

The homeroom teacher for the advanced class was still Xue Musheng.

His class had produced two S-rank students, and who else could be the homeroom teacher for the advanced class besides him?

Thanks to Mo Fan, Xue Musheng also gained a lot of attention from the school leadership, who repeatedly instructed him to properly guide Mo Fan’s rebellious nature.

Xue Musheng found this headache-inducing, feeling that whether Mo Fan was a slacker or a genius, he was a big Buddha, not easy to please.

...

Before they knew it, another month of the new semester had passed.

Homeroom teacher Xue Musheng stood in the large classroom of the advanced class, coughing heavily to signal the students to control their excitement.

Why were the students so excited today?

Today was the day the school would allocate the stardust magic artifacts. As students in the advanced class, they not only had the best teachers but also an important benefit.

The reason those major magic organizations and magic families were so far ahead of civilian mages was not just because they had more knowledge, techniques, and experience, but more importantly, they had stardust magic artifacts.

To put it this way, if experience, knowledge, techniques, and teaching were considered software, then stardust magic artifacts were the hard, solid hardware!

Other major families had complete software and leading technology, and even if civilian mages could learn from the school, they could never compare in terms of hardware.

Stardust magic artifacts, in a more sophisticated sense, could nourish the soul and body, allowing practitioners to quickly recover from the fatigue of meditation and continue practicing. In simpler terms, they were coolers, reducing the cooldown of meditation.

Unfortunately, Mo Fan wasn’t a rich player, so he naturally had to obtain the necessary cultivation resources through the school.

The competition at the school was intense, a true test of survival of the fittest!

Fortunately, this time he was firmly in first place, and the magic resources he would receive from the school should be substantial, allowing him to focus on his cultivation.

"We will allocate the usage time of the stardust magic artifacts based on your ranking in the annual assessment. The higher your rank, the longer the usage time. Of course, our school is very humane. Every quarter, we will conduct another test and re-rank the students, and the allocation of stardust magic artifacts will change with the new assessment... It’s worth noting that although you are now in the advanced class and have advantages that other regular classes don’t, don’t think you can relax for the next two years. The bottom 10 students in the quarterly assessment will be demoted to regular classes, and the top 10 from the regular classes will be promoted to the advanced class, so the competition pressure is even greater!" Xue Musheng said.

This system wasn’t much different from the scientific world, and Mo Fan didn’t find it particularly unusual.

Many people dislike school and the college entrance exam, but there’s a saying that’s not wrong: without school and the college entrance exam, how would you compete with the rich second generation?

The resources at the school might not be inferior to those of major families, but the difference lies in the school’s rigorous selection process.

This also proves the saying: true gold will always shine!

...

"Mo Fan, as the top student in the class, you should have been the first to use the stardust magic artifact and have the longest usage time. However, due to your disrespectful behavior during the annual assessment, your usage time will be reduced from one month to 10 days. This is your punishment!" Xue Musheng said sternly.

"Oh, one month reduced to ten days, that’s a huge cost. If he had restrained himself, this month would have been enough to pull ahead of others by a lot," some students began to comment.

"If he had simply lowered his head and agreed to join the Mu family, he might have received even more!"

"Yeah, why be so principled?"

Xue Musheng glared, silencing the students.

"Mo Fan, do you have any objections to this punishment?" Xue Musheng asked.

"No," Mo Fan replied.

Mo Fan needed the stardust magic artifact, as his cultivation time was already longer than others, and with the stardust magic artifact, it would be even more efficient.

However, this efficiency was only significant if he had long-term access. If he only had it for a month, it would be somewhat redundant for Mo Fan.

"Tea-green man, I have a question for you," Mo Fan leaned over to Mu Bai’s desk, looking serious.

"What the hell did you call me?" Mu Bai’s temper flared immediately.

"Alright, Mu Bai, I have a question for you."
