149: Chapter 149 Su Linlin Makes a Move

The entire audience gasped in unison.

Lin Fan's parents were surprised and delighted, while the members of the Wave Squad had expressions that said, "We saw this coming."

Meanwhile, the teachers and students of Longwei Magic Academy...

...had faces filled with shock and ecstasy as they watched Lin Fan suspend his opponent in mid-air.

In the seating area for Void Magic Academy, the boy who had questioned Su Linlin gave a faint smile.

"Space Element, interesting."

Inside the arena, the Lightning Mage controlled by Lin Fan remained stubborn, attempting to break free with brute force.

"This is a sneak attack! Let me go!"

He roared angrily, his gaze fierce, as if he wanted to devour Lin Fan alive.

Lin Fan remained unmoved, slowly tightening his grip.

The distinct sound of bones cracking echoed through the arena, sending a chill down the audience's spines.

The two referees in the arena looked at each other, then at Lin Fan and the Lightning Mage, unsure of what to do for a moment...

The opponent showed absolutely no sign of surrendering.

"Surrender."

Lin Fan spoke calmly.

He hadn't intended to deal a lethal blow.

With his true strength, participating in this kind of competition was inherently unfair to the other students.

Therefore, he only wanted to stop at the right point without causing unnecessary harm.

But the Lightning Mage endured the intense pain and continued to resist stubbornly, gritting his teeth as he controlled the ten purple stars above his head to continue constructing a Star Array.

Even while captured, he insisted on casting a Spell!

A look of impatience appeared on Lin Fan's face, and he casually waved his hand to the side.

The Lightning Mage's body flew out at an incredible speed, turning into a blur.

He streaked across the arena like a cannonball, slamming violently into the barrier.

Bang!

The barrier, which had remained stable since the start of the tournament, rippled noticeably from the impact.

Then, he crashed heavily onto the ground.

The audience cried out in surprise once more.

Lin Fan's parents stared wide-eyed at their son, who stood calmly in the center of the arena.

Lin Duo, meanwhile, screamed excitedly without stopping.

The two referees immediately rushed forward to check, finding that he was unconscious and had multiple fractures.

One referee carried the unconscious Lightning Mage out of the arena and handed him over to the teacher waiting outside;

The other referee announced on the spot:

Lin Fan wins.

The name of Longwei Magic Academy was prominently projected in the air.

But unlike usual, there was no cheering from the audience.

There was total silence, with only Lin Duo's excited shouts ringing out clearly.

A single thought arose in many people's minds:

Ruthless!

Lin Fan looked at the opponent being carried away.

A Plant-element Mage who had already passed Tier 2 was casting a healing Spell on him.

The boy's teacher glared fiercely at Lin Fan in the arena, his face full of anger.

Lin Fan shrugged indifferently, stepped off the arena, and returned to his academy's seating area.

At the highest point of the arena.

That Fifth-Order Mage, along with the high-ranking officials from the Baiyun City Alliance branch, were looking at Lin Fan with various thoughts.

Some were full of interest, while others frowned.

"Another Space Element. I didn't expect two Space Mages to appear in a place like this."

The Fifth-Order Mage said, stroking his chin.

"Although he's only Tier 1, he can defeat higher-ranked opponents. If he has the chance to further his studies at a Higher Magic Institution, his future will be limitless."

The young man beside the Fifth-Order Mage added.

"He's too ruthless; there was no need to throw his opponent like that. Besides, the Space Element itself is practically cheating, so it's normal for him to win."

A woman spoke up, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Fan's actions.

The young man looked at her in surprise, unable to believe those words came from her...

If it were her, she would only have been even more ruthless.

"The result is what matters most. He clearly gave his opponent a chance to surrender; it was the other person's own stubbornness."

"Knocking him out was already the best way to end it. Let's keep watching his performance; I might give him a recommendation slot."

The Fifth-Order Mage announced to the two after some thought.

The two young people were startled and stared wide-eyed at the Fifth-Order Mage.

"You're going to give such a precious slot to a First-Order Mage?"

"Even if the element is rare, there are no fewer than a hundred people with similar elemental talents in the capital. Without mage talent, no matter how rare the element is, it's useless!"

The two of them tried to persuade the Fifth-Order Mage to change his mind.

During the dispute...

Branch Chief Jiang Tianhai and Wei Donglin watched silently, their gazes following Lin Fan back to the Longwei seats.

Hearing that the Fifth-Order Mage wanted to give him a recommendation slot, they thought to themselves:

"When did Longwei Academy hide such a person?"

In the seating area for Void Magic Academy.

The boy, after watching Lin Fan's match, looked surprised and turned to Su Linlin:

"It seems I was wrong; you might actually have a chance to fight him."

He chuckled.

On the other side.

Lin Fan returned to his academy's seats, and everyone stared at him as if looking at a monster.

Qiao Liya and the others had their mouths wide open, their faces filled with admiration and awe.

The Vice Principal glanced at Lin Fan, struggling to suppress a wide grin.

As for Yang Yong, his face looked as unsightly as if he had swallowed a fly.

Lin Fan completely ignored everyone, sat down by himself, and continued watching the next match.

After Lin Fan's match with Black Mountain Academy ended, two more matches took place before it was finally Void Magic Academy's turn.

The names of the two teams were projected, and the contestants entered the arena.

When they saw the red-haired girl wearing the Qingkong uniform appear...

...the teachers and students of Longwei Magic Academy were all stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

It was Su Linlin!

She was actually representing Void Magic Academy in the individual competition!

The corners of Lin Fan's mouth curled up slightly.

This meant...

...he still had a chance to fight Su Linlin and defeat her.

He caught a glimpse of Yang Yong out of the corner of his eye, then looked away.

In the arena, Su Linlin looked toward the direction of Longwei Magic Academy.

The teachers and students all thought she was looking at them.

But in reality, her gaze was locked firmly onto the black-haired Lin Fan.

A look of disgust appeared on her face, and she quickly looked away.

Everyone except Lin Fan: "..."

They thought Su Linlin was looking at everyone with contempt.

Did she look down on her old school just because she transferred to a stronger academy?

What the hell?!

Su Linlin withdrew her gaze and stopped glaring at Lin Fan.

The sound of the referee announcing the start of the match reached her ears.

Her opponent was a student from Jingyue Magic Academy, also a Tier 2 Mage.

As soon as the match began, the opponent immediately summoned stars... pale blue stars, representing the Ice Element.

He directly summoned ten stars, preparing to attack Su Linlin with a Tier 2 Spell.

Su Linlin also took action immediately, and the battle officially began.

Perhaps because she was quite angered by Lin Fan, Su Linlin was like a Flame Demon in the arena.

She gave her opponent no room to breathe, as violent flames swept across.

Even though she needed to construct a Double Star Array...

...her casting speed was still incredibly fast, and her mana reserves seemed endless.

Fireballs, waves of flame, and Fire Claws smashed into the Jingyue Ice-element Mage one after another.

He had absolutely no chance to cast Spells and could only flee in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, Su Linlin pursued him relentlessly like a fire demon.

This scene startled the Longwei students, while the teachers remained expressionless.

She truly lived up to her reputation as their former goddess, Su Linlin.

Unfortunately, she had already left the academy and was now fighting for someone else.

Yang Yong watched the match with a face full of pride.

He didn't care who Su Linlin was fighting for.
