"Lu Yuan wins!" The referee's voice rang out on the field.
At first, they all thought Mu Nujiao was bound to win, but when they saw Mu Nujiao being dominated by Lu Yuan, they found it hard to believe.
It's worth noting that Mu Nujiao was the strongest student among the freshmen, but she still lost in the end.
"Dean, could Lu Yuan's lightning-type talent possibly allow his star points to be strengthened three times?" the lightning-type director asked in surprise.
At this moment, everyone present looked at Dean Xiao.
Dean Xiao smiled, tacitly agreeing with his answer.
Department Head Lei said, "He actually has such talent; no wonder you took him on as a student."
"Actually, there's another reason why I took him on as a student," Dean Xiao said slowly.
"What's the reason?"
"You should remember what happened a few years ago, right?"
Dean Xiao looked at them and said, "Back then, our students encountered demons while completing their studies."
"If it weren't for Lu Yuan's parents intervening, our students might have died long ago."
Upon hearing this, the teachers present suddenly recalled the crisis of a few years ago.
Department Head Lei said, "So it's their son."
At that time, he was just a teacher at the Thunder Academy, and he heard about this incident.
Without them, the dozen or so people from Mingzhu Academy might have perished at the hands of demons.
"Lu Yuan's parents died while protecting the city, and he was expelled from the Lu family." Dean Xiao sighed.
"How could this be?" Director Lei asked in surprise.
"Lu Yuan's parents did not want to get involved in family disputes anymore and stayed away from the family, so naturally they had no say in the Lu family."
Dean Xiao continued, "After Lu Yuan's parents died, he was sent back to the Lu family, so of course he was not welcomed or paid any attention to."
That's how it is with aristocratic families.
Most of them only care about interests. If Lu Yuan's parents hadn't died protecting the city and bringing glory to the family, they probably wouldn't have taken Lu Yuan back.
Director Lei chuckled, "Then the Lu family must be regretting it now that they know about Lu Yuan's situation, right?"
Currently, Lu Yuan's talent is fully deserving of the family's attention and cultivation.
Dean Xiao laughed and said, "It's no use for them to regret it now. This little guy won't go back to what he started."
Department Head Lei chuckled as well, "Dean, so you're paving the way for Lu Yuan?"
Dean Xiao nodded. "If he can grow up, he will definitely become a great asset to China."
The head of the lightning element nodded in agreement, saying, "If he can become a super-level mage, coupled with his amazing lightning talent, probably no one at the same level will be his match."
"You've made me quite look forward to my student's future," Dean Xiao chuckled.
……
In order to fight Mu Nujiao, Lu Yuan's lightning magic energy was exhausted, and he could no longer fight.
"Alright, you can go now. Leave the rest to them," Dean Xiao said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded and stepped off the stage, facing the gazes of the crowd.
He knew that after this battle, his name would surely resound throughout the entire Pearl Academy.
After all, he defeated several summoners by himself, and then won against Mu Nujiao, the genius of Mingzhu Academy.
Such a record is enough to make him stand out among his peers.
However, Lu Yuan felt a bit annoyed because Mo Fan, a summoner, hadn't even entered the fray yet.
"As expected, you can't have your cake and eat it too." Lu Yuan knew that if he had only won against the new summoning students, he wouldn't have achieved the current effect.
But adding Mu Nujiao changes everything.
Mu Nujiao is a genius from the Mu family, one of the four major families in Shanghai. Defeating her would be tantamount to telling everyone that he is quite powerful.
……
The news of Lu Yuan's victory over Mu Nujiao quickly reached the family, while Lu Zhiyong was sitting in the main hall.
Besides him, there were other members of his lineage, as well as his father.
"Lu Zhiyong, have you heard about Lu Yuan's matter?" Lu Chen asked, looking at Lu Zhiyong, whose expression was not good.
"Dad, I really didn't know he had such talent," Lu Zhiyong said timidly.
"I don't care whether you know about him or not, but if Lu Yuan's talent is nurtured, he can definitely become an asset to our lineage."
Lu Chen said coldly, "So, no matter what you do, you have to bring him back to our lineage."
Lu Zhiyong clenched his fists; he hadn't expected Lu Yuan to pull such a stunt.
"Dad, our lineage isn't without geniuses. Lu Zhenghe is fully capable of shouldering the mission of our lineage," Lu Zhiyong said.
Lu Chen shook his head. "Lu Zhenghe is still a bit lacking compared to Lu Yilin."
Lu Zhiyong didn't want to lower himself to seek out Lu Yuan, after all, Lu Yuan was the one he had expelled from the family.
"If you handle this well, I will strongly recommend you to the main family to become the next clan leader," Lu Chen said, looking at Lu Zhiyong.
"Okay, I'll take care of it!" Lu Zhiyong immediately agreed.
Previously, Lu Chen did not approve of him vying for the position of family head.
Because if they get involved, their faction will have to withdraw from the center of power if they lose the struggle.
Therefore, Lu Chen did not want Lu Zhiyong to get involved.
However, Lu Zhiyong wouldn't listen at all, and now that things had come to this, he had no other choice.
……
After the Beast Fighting Tournament ended, just as Lu Yuan had predicted, Mo Fan turned the tide and preserved their summoning system's resources.
Therefore, two prominent figures emerged at Mingzhu Academy: Lu Yuan and Mo Fan.
As soon as Lu Yuan returned to his dormitory, a member of the Lu family knocked on his door.
"Lu Yuan, your third uncle wants you to go to the school gate."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan had already guessed what was going on. He nodded and then sent a message to Dean Xiao.
When Lu Yuan arrived at the school gate, he saw Lu Zhiyong's car parked on the side of the road waiting for him.
Lu Zhiyong, sitting in the driver's seat, said, "Come in and let's talk."
Lu Yuan got into the car.
Lu Zhiyong took out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly said, "Since you don't agree to the marriage alliance, I have already sent someone else."
Lu Yuan laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Zhiyong couldn't stand Lu Yuan laughing like that.
Lu Yuan said, "Just state your purpose."
He felt that if he didn't come over, Lu Zhiyong would definitely not give up and would keep coming to find him.
That's why he came out to meet Lu Zhiyong, and at the same time wanted to know what kind of nonsense Lu Zhiyong would spout.
"Come back with me, and the family will do everything they can to nurture you. It will be a hundred times better than what you're doing at Mingzhu Academy," Lu Zhiyong said.
"Are you done talking?" Lu Yuan found Lu Zhiyong quite ridiculous; he no longer cared about the Lu family.
Lu Zhiyong turned his head, clenched his fist and said, "Lu Yuan, don't think that just because you rely on Dean Xiao, he can protect you."
"I'm leaving if there's nothing else." Lu Yuan didn't want to hear Lu Zhiyong barking like a dog, and he didn't care if the other person got angrier.
Therefore, after seeing Lu Yuan open the car door, Lu Zhiyong also opened the car door and got out.
"Lu Yuan, you're going back today whether you like it or not."
Lu Yuan had only taken a few steps when a spatial force suddenly stopped him in his tracks.
"This is a world where strength reigns supreme. If I tell you to kneel, you have to kneel," Lu Zhiyong said with a sneer, increasing his spatial power.
Even when faced with such powerful spatial force, Lu Yuan still did not kneel down.
"Bullying my students on my turf, do you really think I, this old man, don't exist?" Dean Xiao's anger was palpable.
