Chapter 73

......

Time flew by, and Mofan dedicated his precious youth to cultivation and monster hunting, never tiring of it.

Before he knew it, Mofan had already hunted more than 15 monsters in the monster hunting team, which was considered very experienced by the veterans of the Hunter Alliance.

And on the school side, the Magic College Entrance Examination, a major event that could make all students leap to success, was slowly approaching.

"Your comfortable days are almost over, Mofan," Zhao Kun said to Mofan with a gloating tone.

Graduation was approaching, which also meant that the magic duel witnessed by many school leaders was about to take place.

It had to be said that Mu Zhuoyun was a cunning old fox, setting the time of the duel before the Magic College Entrance Examination.

In other words, if Mofan had any minor accidents during the magic duel, it could very likely affect his performance in the Magic College Entrance Examination.

"Brother Fan, I heard from the neighbors that Mu Zhuoyun is preparing for Yuang's 18th birthday coming-of-age ceremony. In our Bocheng, the coming-of-age ceremony is very important, and a prominent family like the Mus will definitely make it more grand than anything else," Zhang Xiaohou said.

"I know. They invite guests, and the grandeur is overwhelming. Many influential people in Bocheng are invited, and family lineages love to do this," Mofan said.

"But this is very disadvantageous for you. That old rascal is clearly trying to trip you up, using you as a stepping stone for that guy named Yuang. Brother Fan is now the top student at Tianlan Magic High School. If you lose this magic duel under the watchful eyes of so many people, it will boost their family's prestige. The top student among the 1,500 students at our Tianlan Magic High School can't even match their family's own offspring. Principal Zhu will definitely lose face," Zhang Xiaohou said.

Principal Zhu was the headmaster of Tianlan Magic High School, and he and Mu Zhuoyun were considered the two old rivals in Bocheng.

Principal Zhu had very high prestige in Bocheng. After all, he was the most beloved by the people. Many grassroots magicians rose to prominence with his support, and Principal Zhu also discovered many outstanding magicians without any background through the school.

On the other hand, Mu Zhuoyun was a typical representative of a magic family and a prestigious lineage, specifically cultivating noble offspring. With the help of outstanding noble offspring, Mu Zhuoyun maintained his position in Bocheng for a long time.

From time to time, there would be a competition between grassroots magicians and lineage magicians. Mu Zhuoyun's happiest moment every year was watching the young magicians from his family crush the students cultivated by public schools like Tianlan Magic High School, and then he would pat Principal Zhu's shoulder with a smile and say, "Your school's quality still needs improvement!"

Deng Kai and Principal Zhu were completely on the side of the students, so when Mofan cursed Mu Zhuoyun, even if Mofan didn't provoke a duel with the young generation of the Mu family, they would still have smoothed things over.

A student who got three S's in the annual assessment was simply a treasure for the school. How could they let Mu Zhuoyun, this local tyrant, suppress him?

After hearing that Mofan had exceptionally defeated a berserk summoned beast during an important training session, Principal Zhu and Deng Kai valued him even more.

Mofan might not know that Principal Zhu and Deng Kai had always been very concerned about him, but these two old wizards of Bocheng, who aimed to cultivate grassroots magicians, always sent people to take care of him.

However, the school was still a school and couldn't be too biased. They also hoped to provide Mofan with the Star Dust Magic Tool at all times, but they couldn't favor him like the lineages did!

......

Just as Yuang's coming-of-age ceremony was being prepared like a major festival in Bocheng, Principal Zhu and Deng Kai finally couldn't hold back and called Mofan to the principal's office.

Mofan had met Deng Kai before; he was the one who stood up for him at the time, the grand elder of the Bocheng Hunter Alliance, whose strength was even above that of the intermediate magician Yang Zuohe.

This was the first time Mofan met Principal Zhu. This highly respected old principal in the hearts of students and parents had a somewhat reclusive air, but he would still come out to handle major events.

"Mofan, there are some things we need to discuss with you seriously," Deng Kai said first.

Mofan stood there, listening attentively.

"Actually, every so often, the students of Tianlan Magic High School and the disciples of the lineages have a sparring match. In previous years, we would select the most outstanding and strongest student in practical combat from all the students to face the lineage offspring of Bocheng... We originally had high hopes for Xu Zhaoting, as he is a rare lightning-type magician with a higher chance of winning in the competition. However, you performed exceptionally well in the annual assessment and boldly challenged their lineage. To prevent Mu Zhuoyun from making things difficult for you, we deliberately directed the matter to this sparring match that was already scheduled," Deng Kai said seriously to Mofan.

"I know... I mean, thank you, both principals, for helping me out of the situation," Mofan said.

"To be honest, we have already helped you delay for two years. We have a good idea of how much you have grown in these two years, so you will eventually have to pay the price for your rashness back then," Deng Kai said, shaking his head helplessly.

Deng Kai had already learned from others that Yuang's cultivation had soared in the past two years, and with the practical combat training provided by the family, even if Mofan was clever, he might not be his match. Everyone knew that killing the summoned beast back then was partly due to luck.

"Ah, Mofan, we all know that sometimes fate is unfair, giving some people innate privileges while others have nothing. However, this does not mean you can complain about fate or recklessly vent your frustrations. On that day, you might have expressed your dissatisfaction with these privileged people, and many people feel the same way, but it also means you are pushing yourself to the edge of an abyss. When your strength is far from enough to stand up to a family, it's not a bad thing to keep a low profile," Principal Zhu said earnestly.

Principal Zhu had seen many proud students over the years. Some indeed achieved great success and became respected magicians, while others fell into obscurity and were never heard from again.

Talent is important, cultivation is important, but more importantly, one must assess the situation and not do meaningless things. The protection the school can provide is only for a few years. Once out in society, it's still the upper echelons who make the rules.

"Thank you, both principals, for your guidance. I was indeed impulsive back then," Mofan nodded.

"We didn't call you here today just to educate you... We actually hope you can win this final battle, as the winner will receive the only opportunity to cultivate in the Earth Holy Spring in Bocheng," Principal Zhu continued.

"Earth Holy Spring??" Mofan's eyes lit up immediately.
