Chapter 44: Fifth-Grade Magician, Strike a Deal With Lance

Chapter 44: Fifth-Grade Magician, Strike a Deal With Lance

Meng Lei was elevated after achieving a big victory in his first fight and getting off to a good start. The appearance fee of 1,000 gold coins made him even happier too!

,000 gold coins meant 100 Attribute Points!

He also had a fruitful harvest today, picking up various attributes. When he saw that the spiritual attribute was about to break through the 2,000-mark, Meng Lei simply spent some gold coins to raise himself to fifth-grade!

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human (Contains Fire Dragon Bloodline)

Wealth: 22,614 gold coins

Physical Body Constitution: Fifth-Grade Warrior (2,729/5,000)

Spirit: Fifth-Grade Magician (2,014/2,000)

Magic Power: Fifth-Grade Magician (2,316/5,000)

Magic Spells: Some increase

Battle Aura Technique: Fire Dragon Manual

Battle Skills: Some increase

I am both a Fifth-Grade Warrior and a Fifth-Grade Magician!

I can be considered as a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts!

Meng Lei was very satisfied with his progress. In Heaven’s Vault Continent, the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts was not taboo. There were many Dragon People who were like that, training their physical bodies and learning magic spells at the same time!

Meng Lei did not know whether they would stop doing that after cultivating to a high level. But for him, he did not want to give up training his physical body or magic for the time being!

The battle advantage of being proficient in both was simply too great!

...

It was already 1 a.m. by the time he returned to the academy!

Meng Lei cleaned up hastily and performed his night meditation as usual!

He was quiet the whole night!

Early in the next morning, Meng Lei ended his meditation. After eating breakfast to fill his stomach, he began his cultivation of Fire Dragon Manual as planned!

After the last three days of training, Meng Lei felt that the Fire Dragon Battle Aura in his body had become stronger, and its circulation speed was getting faster. Every time the Fire Dragon Battle Aura completed one circulation, the Fire Dragon bloodline would be purified further!

When the Fire Dragon bloodline in his body could not be purified by the Fire Dragon Battle Aura anymore, it meant that this battle aura technique had been complete, and he had stepped into the realm of pureness!

That day was the day he would be transformed into a Fire Dragon!

“Heard that you have not been going to class for three days!”

When Meng Lei sat cross-legged and prepared to practice the Fire Dragon Manual, his housemate, Abbe, walked down from the stairs and looked at Meng Lei coldly!

“Yeah!”

Meng Lei did not deny it!

“Seems like you won’t be going today as well?” asked Abbe.

“Yes, and I won’t be going in the future!” Meng Lei smiled and said, “Magic lessons are of no use to me. It’s a waste of time to attend classes. It’s better to practice by myself!”

Abbe frowned when he heard this. He felt that Meng Lei’s words were a bit arrogant. Fire Dragon Magic Academy was the third-ranked magic academy in the Dragon God Empire, and the teacher was an eighth-grade magic instructor!

You, a Third-Grade Magician, dare to say such things?

“Hmph!”

Truly arrogant!

Although he was unhappy, Abbe was indifferent by nature and didn’t wish to say anything more. After a quiet snort, he turned his head and left the apartment!

“This fellow... always feels weird!”

Meng Lei shook his head. Unexpectedly, at that moment, his magic communication device suddenly rang!

There were many magical devices in this world, and the magic communication device was one of them. Its function was similar to that of mobile phones on Earth, but looked completely different!

The magic communication device was not as feature-rich as a mobile phone. It was not as complicated, and it couldn’t install many ‘apps’. It had only one function—communication!

Meng Lei opened the magic communication device. Bright lights lit up before converging into a face. It was the class guide and their senior sister, Jenny Lane!

“Senior sister, what’s up?”

Meng Lei was a little puzzled. Senior Sister Jenny was about to graduate this year and was very busy. She generally would leave them alone if nothing cropped up.

“Junior Meng Lei, have you not attended class for three days?” Senior Sister Jenny asked frowningly with a serious expression!

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

Meng Lei was stunned for a moment. From Senior Sister Jenny’s tone, it seemed that something was wrong?

“You are skipping class, do you know?” Senior Sister Jenny scowled and scolded, “You have just started school for a few days, and have already begun to skip classes. I can’t imagine what you will do in the future!”

“Surely, it’s not that serious? I remember that the academy does not stipulate that I have to attend magic classes? All I needed to do is to pass the exam, right?!” Meng Lei was a little bewildered.

“You are right. The academy has no hard rule that magic classes must be attended, but this is meant for senior students. After all, senior students have already learned the theory and fundamentals of magic. It doesn’t make much sense for them to attend class!”

Senior Sister Jenny rebuked, “But you are only in first grade, the foundation stage. How can you deliberately skip class? Are you aware that Department Head Dirk already knows about this? He is very angry and wants to see you in his office!”

“I’ll go! But is this necessary?”

Meng Lei was in a fix. His attributes moved by several hundred points per day, so how would he be able to find time for the head teacher?

“I have already conveyed his message. It’s up to you whether you want to go or not!”

Senior Sister Jenny was very dissatisfied with Meng Lei’s attitude. “However, I want to remind you that Department Head Dirk is the first-years’ head teacher. You should be honored that he is making time to talk to you. You will go if you know what is good for you!”

Right after that, she hung up!

“I’m so screwed!”

Meng Lei rolled his eyes.

Yes, he had to go!

Department Head Dirk did not have a good temper. If he did not show up, Meng Lei would definitely die a miserable death. There was no other way, especially when he was the head teacher!

After leaving the condominium, Meng Lei was about to head to the teaching faculty building when a tall, green-skinned Dragon Person stopped him. It was actually Lance, the person he had taught a lesson to on the entrance exam day!

“Yo! Isn’t this our genius freshman Meng Lei? What’s going on? Where are you going?” Lance was acting strangely as he peered at Meng Lei.

Meng Lei shot him a glance and said coldly, “Was the previous beating not enough?”

“Lowly race! What are you arrogant about? I was careless the previous time, and you took advantage of it. Do you think I am afraid of you?” Lance was furious. “Tell you what, I have already broken through two levels in a row and have advanced to become a Fifth-Grade Warrior. If you are capable, let’s battle in the ring. Care to see if I will give you a beating?”

“Fifth-Grade Warrior?”

Meng Lei raised his eyebrows, feeling very surprised. “If I remember correctly, three months ago, you were only a Third-Grade Warrior. How did you become a Fifth-Grade Warrior in just three months?”

“Hmph! I am a once-in-a-century genius. How can I compare to you, a lowly human!”

Lance folded his arms across his chest and said with a stern voice, “Enough with petty talk. Do you dare to step into the ring with me? If you don’t dare, you will make a detour when you see me in the future and stop acting arrogant!”

“Hehe, do you think I dare not?” Meng Lei smiled and said, “I am open to fighting you in the ring. But I don’t like to do things that don’t have any rewards. You should understand what I mean, right?”

“You want a battle reward? Okay, I am agreeable to that. My purpose is to expose you in public!” Lance sneered repeatedly. “I want everyone to know that this so-called human genius is nothing special, and cannot be compared to us, the noble Dragon People!”

“Great!” Meng Lei smiled. “How much do you plan to offer?”

“10,000!” Lance gave a thumbs up. “As long as you are able to defeat me, 10,000 gold coins will be yours! But if you lose... Hmph, I don’t want your money. I just want you to announce something in public, in front of everybody!”

“Eh?” Meng Lei frowned

“I’m a lowly good-for-nothing. I can never be compared to Lance!” Lance said triumphantly, “I just want everyone to know that no matter how talented you are in magic, you are just a lowly good-for-nothing!”

“I agree to your conditions! But 10,000 gold coins are just too little!” Meng Lei’s smile vanished. “100,000 gold coins! As long as you are willing to take out 100,000 gold coins, I will fight you!”

“100,000 gold coins? Why don’t you rob a bank?” Lance was furious. “50,000! The most I can offer is 50,000!”

“Hmph! You want to embarrass me, but are unwilling to pay the price. How can there be such a good deal?” Meng Lei laughed coldly. “However, 50,000 gold coins... is also fine!”
