180: Chapter 180 Cloud Capital

The terrifying scene of Lin Fan grabbing Su Linlin along with her Assassins Protection barrier and slamming her wildly around the arena lasted for a full five minutes.

The audience had long since become numb, staring blankly into the arena with hollow eyes, no longer showing any reaction.

Many people wished they could rush into the arena and beat Lin Fan up, feeling that he was being far too ruthless toward such a beautiful girl.

The students of the Void Magic Academy had cold expressions, their gazes toward Lin Fan filled with undisguised killing intent.

Meanwhile, the students of the Longwei Magic Academy covered their faces one after another, truly unable to bear watching any longer.

After five minutes of this slamming, a referee walked up to Lin Fan and signaled for him to stop...

He had already won; there was no need to continue.

Lin Fan knew clearly in his heart that victory had long been in his grasp.

Only two minutes into the slamming, he had sensed that Su Linlin had already lost her ability to fight.

Yet he did not stop. Merely rendering her unable to fight was not enough to repay everything she had once done to "the former Lin Fan."

What's more, her younger sister often bullied Lin Duo.

Thus, Lin Fan did not stop until Su Linlin completely passed out.

Fresh blood gushed from her nasal cavity, staining the inside of the Assassins Protection barrier and making the golden shield look as if it had been dyed red.

Even as a Tier 2 Mage, Su Linlin could not withstand such violent slamming and had already begun to bleed before losing consciousness.

Other than that, she had no other external injuries.

Lin Fan tossed Su Linlin, along with the barrier, onto the ground and immediately dispelled the Spell.

His eyes returned to normal as he looked down at the unconscious Su Linlin.

Her face and school uniform were stained with blood, and she lay motionless on the ground. The barrier slowly dissipated a few seconds after Lin Fan let go.

The moment the announcement of Lin Fan's victory fell...

A mentor from the Void Magic Academy immediately rushed into the arena, glared coldly at Lin Fan, and then scooped up Su Linlin and left.

Lin Fan shrugged indifferently and walked out of the arena as well.

On the way back to the academy's spectator area, he could feel countless gazes landing on him, but he didn't care in the slightest and continued walking forward on his own.

Qing Yu was also watching him, her face showing not much surprise.

"As expected, he is a monster."

After witnessing firsthand the way Lin Fan treated his opponent, she thought to herself.

Returning to the Longwei Magic Academy's spectator area, the students did not immediately cheer or welcome him for his victory.

The scene of him wildly slamming Su Linlin was still vivid in their minds, replaying continuously, leaving everyone silent.

Lin Fan did not care about their praise anyway. In the silence, it was the principal who spoke first.

"Haha, truly unexpected, Lin Fan."

"I originally thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect you to actually pull it off."

"Although the methods... were a bit rough, I understand. That Assassins Protection barrier was simply too troublesome, and there was no other way."

"Well done, kid."

The principal laughed heartily, his long beard trembling along with him.

"So that barrier is called Assassins Protection; it is indeed quite troublesome."

Lin Fan listened to the principal's words and made a mental note, planning to look up this item later.

This thing looked quite good, and he wanted to prepare a few for his family as well.

An extra layer of protection would never be a bad thing.

With the principal taking the lead, the students finally stepped forward one after another to congratulate and thank Lin Fan.

It was precisely because of this victory that their academy was able to successfully advance to the third round of the tournament!

Meanwhile, the competition continued, as there were other academies that had yet to take the stage for their duels.

It lasted until three in the afternoon.

All the matches for the day finally came to an end.

Everyone could go home first and return in two days to participate in the final sessions of the second round of the tournament.

After the last match of the day ended, everyone left the venue one after another.

Lin Fan reunited with his family outside the arena; with his sensory abilities, finding them was effortless.

As soon as his mother saw him.

She began talking about his match with Su Linlin, feeling that he had been too heavy-handed with that girl.

Fearing she was severely injured, she was very dissatisfied with the way Lin Fan had achieved victory.

Lin Fan explained to her that it was Su Linlin's barrier that had left him with no choice.

If he had shown mercy, he would never have won... the opponent could not be touched at all while inside the barrier.

His father chimed in from the side, telling his wife that Lin Fan truly had no other option.

But he also turned to urge Lin Fan that he should have stopped once the girl passed out, and shouldn't have continued slamming her for so long.

Qing Yu was afraid of Lin Fan and said nothing about it;

Lin Duo kept praising her brother for being cool, saying she also wanted to become a powerful Mage like him.

As they were talking, a group of people suddenly walked up behind them.

"You must be Lin Fan, right?"

"The match just now was truly spectacular. Come to think of it, every match you've had so far has been quite stunning."

An intrigued voice sounded from beside him.

Lin Fan and his family turned to look; the person who arrived was none other than Wei Yuan, accompanied by Yun Wei, as well as the two young elite Mages who had been with him at the auction.

A young girl stood by Yun Wei's side, while the other young man stood next to Wei Yuan; all four of them exuded an elegant aura.

In the eyes of his father and family, they looked like top-tier experts at a glance.

But to Lin Fan and Qing Yu, these four were merely at a "not bad" level.

However, Lin Fan had to play the role of a First-Order Mage well; at this moment, he was not Mr. Chen.

"I am. Who are you?"

Lin Fan spoke, his tone not rude, yet not overly respectful.

He secretly glanced at Yun Wei and couldn't help but marvel in his heart...

Compared to her disheveled appearance last night, she was so beautiful at this moment that one couldn't look away.

"Of course, allow me to introduce myself."

Wei Yuan immediately stated his identity and then introduced Yun Wei.

He said she was a mentor at the Yun Capital Magic University, and the two young Mages beside her were the school's most outstanding graduating students.

"Yun Capital Magic University; so this university is named after the kingdom's Yun Capital."

Lin Fan thought to himself as he continued listening to Wei Yuan speak.

The other party continued to introduce it, saying that the Yun Capital Magic University was the largest and most powerful Magic University in the entire kingdom.

This point was beyond doubt, and Lin Fan had heard of it long ago...

Precisely because of this, this university was the highest Magic institution in the capital.

He already knew this information, yet he still pretended to be slightly surprised.

He also roughly guessed the purpose of Wei Yuan and his group approaching him.

"It is a pleasure to meet you!"

"I have long heard of the great name of the Yun Capital Magic University and have always dreamed of entering it to study one day!"

Lin Fan put on an excited expression and said loudly.

Seeing his reaction, Yun Wei smiled slightly;

Wei Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Qing Yu and his father's family watched quietly from the side.

Passersby also glanced at them a few times, not paying much attention.

"Very good, very good. I am very happy to hear you say that."

"I have noticed you since the very beginning of the tournament."
