Chapter 50 Five people in a team, a perfect plan!
Mingzhu Academy holds an academic assessment every year.
At the same time, only those who have reached the intermediate level of mage can participate.
Those who meet the requirements can only participate in the following academic year.
Lu Yuan's light-elemental ability was aided by the Light Fruit, but his lightning-elemental ability was still a bit short of reaching the third level of the intermediate stage.
Therefore, if he can achieve a good ranking in the academic assessment, he can enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation.
In this way, Lu Yuan's lightning element will be able to break through to the third level before the exchange student training begins.
If he breaks through to the third level, his lightning-type talent will be incredibly terrifying.
At that time, Lu Yuan will be able to unleash a level six thunderbolt, and who will be his opponent in the exchange student competition?
"We must take first place," Lu Yuan thought to himself.
……
Three days later.
The rewards Lu Yuan received were all demon materials, which weren't worth much money even if sold.
"Lu Yuan, come out quickly, we're going out." Ai Tutu knocked on the bathroom door.
"alright."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the sound of flushing the toilet came from the bathroom.
Today is the academic assessment, and all students must participate.
The three of them left the apartment and followed the crowd from the Qing Campus to a wide square.
The square was packed with people, including both current and new students, totaling tens of thousands.
A short while later, Dean Xiao appeared on the stage and delivered a passionate speech.
"Now, those students who have not yet reached the intermediate level, please leave," Dean Xiao said.
In an instant, only a thousand people remained in the entire square.
"It's about to begin!" Ai Tutu looked at the stage with great interest.
"Your task for this academic assessment is to find a Shadow Beast that has escaped."
Dean Xiao continued, "Whoever captures this Shadow Beast and locks it in the iron cage behind the academy will win first place."
"The reward for first place is the opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation."
"You can form teams freely, but the number of people in a team cannot exceed five."
"Now, you can start forming teams and set off to search for traces of the Shadow Beast."
Lu Yuan was no stranger to academic tasks and knew that he was looking for the Shadow Beast.
"Lu Yuan, let's team up!" Ai Tutu invited Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan nodded; having beautiful women around was pleasing to the eye.
"When should we start looking for the Shadow Beasts?" Ai Tutu asked eagerly.
"No need to look for it yourself." Lu Yuan felt that if he were to look for it himself, he didn't know when he would find it.
The assessment didn't say anything about not being able to hire outside help, so as long as you have money, you can find Shadow Beasts.
Compared to this amount of money, Lu Yuan felt that cultivating the Three-Step Pagoda was more important.
Therefore, he wouldn't mind spending some money to find the Shadow Beast.
Lu Yuan and Lingling had previously collaborated, so they had exchanged contact information.
He took out his phone and dialed Lingling's number.
"A report?" Lingling became excited.
"We have the order."
"explain."
"Help me in Shanghai..." Lu Yuan explained the situation.
"You guys are really..." Lingling was a little reluctant to speak.
Lu Yuan was taken aback, not understanding what those words meant.
Lingling said, "Mo Fan came to see me earlier and asked me to help him find the Shadow Beast."
"That's quite a coincidence."
Lu Yuan didn't expect Mo Fan to be so decisive in looking for Lingling. Luckily, he called her immediately, otherwise he wouldn't even have been able to get a bowl of soup.
"You guys can team up, right? Why don't you team up with Mo Fan?" Lingling said.
"What a clever plan, Lingling."
Lingling revealed a sly smile and said, "Let me handle it. The minimum is 300,000. You know what I mean."
Lu Yuan wasn't short of money; the most important thing was to capture the Shadow Beast.
"no problem."
"make a deal!"
The sound of clattering keyboards came from Lingling's end. "Go and meet up with Mo Fan now. I'll let you know when I find the Shadow Beast and then I'll let you know to go and capture it."
"OK."
Lu Yuan hung up the phone and gave Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao an OK sign.
"That's it?" Ai Tutu asked in surprise.
Lu Yuan nodded. With Lingling's abilities, even if she were discovered, the school would definitely not be able to find any clues.
"We need to capture the Shadow Beast and bring it back to the Qing Campus. A fierce battle is inevitable then."
Lu Yuan said solemnly, "Let's go and meet up with our teammates first, and then discuss how to bring the Shadow Beast back to Pearl Academy."
……
After a short while, Lu Yuan and the other two joined up with Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan.
"We meet again." Zhao Manyan greeted Lu Yuan.
"What a coincidence." Lu Yuan guessed that Mo Fan must be teaming up with Zhao Manyan.
"Any news from Lingling?"
Mo Fan replied, "Lingling has found traces of the Shadow Beast, but its exact location has not yet been determined."
"It should be soon." Lu Yuan trusted Lingling's abilities; as long as the Shadow Beast appeared under surveillance, she would definitely be able to find it.
After an unknown amount of time, Lingling finally called.
"Your school is really cunning, placing the Shadow Beast so close to the school."
"Where?" Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan asked in unison.
"I checked the surveillance footage, and the Shadow Beast is in the courier warehouse south of Pearl Academy," Lingling read aloud, looking at the address on the computer.
"I know where that is!" Ai Tutu raised her hand; she had been there once before.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry over there and take first place!" Zhao Manyan couldn't wait any longer.
……
Having determined the location, Lu Yuan, Mo Fan, and the others quickly found the courier warehouse, where the Shadow Beast was hiding.
Under the combined attack of the group, the shadow beast was no match for the five and had no choice but to submit.
Zhao Manyan frowned. "We've captured the Shadow Beast, but how are we going to bring it back to school and lock it up?"
This became their problem.
Some clever people choose to wait passively, knowing that whoever catches the Shadow Beast will surely bring it back.
Therefore, all they need to do is wait at school for the person who caught the Shadow Beast to return, and then snatch it from her.
"We can release a false message to lure those people over."
Lu Yuan explained his plan step by step: "Then, we'll bring the Shadow Beasts back to Pearl Academy, which will at least reduce some of the pressure on us."
"This method is feasible." Mu Nujiao nodded.
If they were to appear openly at Mingzhu Academy, they would definitely attract attention immediately.
That will definitely attract a lot of people back.
Even Lu Yuan wasn't very confident he could handle the combined attack of over a thousand students.
"Then, have Mo Fan's Shadow Wolf disguise itself as a Shadow Beast to attract their attention head-on."
Lu Yuan looked at Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu and said, "You two should quietly take the real Shadow Beast to the back mountain and lock it up."
"Great idea!!" Ai Tutu clapped his fist and exclaimed with delight.
"Let's do it this way." Mo Fan agreed with this approach.
Lu Yuan took out his phone. "Since we've already made up our minds, let's record a video first, so they know that the Shadow Beast is in our hands."
