Chapter 74 Magic Sparring
Yunhua usually visits Dr. Mei in the morning because Dr. Mei is only out resting in the morning, not conducting experiments. However, today she has something to ask Dr. Mei, so the time is different.
As Yunhua was about to enter Dr. Mei's house, he bumped right into Master Tiehu who was coming out. For a moment, both of them were stunned.
"Why are you standing at the door instead of going outside?" Dr. Mei said impatiently from inside the house.
"I'll be leaving right away, sorry to bother you." The burly Master Iron Tiger seemed to have turned into a soft rabbit at this moment, without any temper at all.
Watching Master Tiehu's departing figure, Yunhua was somewhat incredulous; he hadn't looked like this when she saw him that morning.
Although he appeared very kind, Yunhua could sense that Master Tiehu harbored a great deal of arrogance, which was understandable, as a blacksmith of his caliber had the right to be proud.
"Doctor, do you know who he is?"
Dr. Mei shook her head and said, "I don't know, he seems to be a blacksmith. Why?"
"This blacksmith can make Nebula Magic Weapons, and each time he does it, the fee is at least seven figures."
"How did you know?" Dr. Mei said, "Oh, I know. You went to find someone to make a Nebula Artifact for you, right? Xu Zhaoting mentioned a couple of days ago that you wanted to get a Nebula Artifact, but there wasn't much of a way. I didn't expect you to find someone so quickly?"
"It's all thanks to a friend's help. But Doctor, since you're not familiar with him, why did he come to you?"
"To correct you, he didn't come to see me, he came to see Klein."
"Senior Sister Klein?" Yunhua couldn't imagine that Klein would have any connection with the other party.
"I think I told you before, Klein comes from a family called the Fried family."
Yunhua nodded, indicating that she remembered. "But Fried should be a foreigner, right? Master Tiehu is a genuine Chinese."
"But his teacher was different. This man named Tiehu had traveled abroad in his early years and studied forging techniques under a teacher. This teacher was Klein's grandfather."
This guy somehow found out Klein was with me, so he came over to check on things. But I only let Klein talk to him for a few minutes before kicking him out.
"Why? Doesn't Senior Sister have a good relationship with the Fried family?"
"Do you know what I told this Iron Tiger?" Dr. Mei lifted Yunhua's chin with her fingernail, staring into his eyes as she said, "I told him that when I took Klein away, she had already severed all ties with the Fried family. She doesn't want to hear anything about the Fried family, understand?"
Looking into Dr. Mei's pupils, Yunhua felt as if she were being watched by a venomous snake. If she revealed the slightest flaw, she would be met with a venomous snake's bite.
"Then there's only one thing we can do now," Yunhua nodded vigorously, "I completely understand!"
After hearing Yunhua's reply, Dr. Mei returned to the sofa with satisfaction, adjusted her posture, and said leisurely, "You don't usually come at this time. So, what's up?"
Yunhua said, "Doctor, I would like to ask you to help me make a demon-attracting powder."
Dr. Mei asked with some doubt: "Demon-attracting powder? Don't you know how to make that? Why do I need to do it?"
Yunhua said apologetically, "The demon-attracting powder I need is a bit special. It's for lizard-type demons, and it needs to be effective against commander-level demons."
"Commander-level! What do you want to do?" Dr. Mei knew that Yunhua's combat power was amazing, but wasn't it too early to deal with a commander-level demon now?
"It's purely for self-preservation." Yunhua didn't say much more; she couldn't very well admit that she knew what the future held, could she?
Fortunately, Dr. Mei didn't delve into the matter further, only asking, "When will you receive it?"
"Just give it to me before you go on exchange."
"Exchange students? Ah, you mean that major inter-college competition? It's almost time, has the school already notified us to participate?"
"Not yet, but I don't think I'll lose."
"You seem much more confident now!"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Was magic less advanced back then? Otherwise, how could powerful earth mages today easily construct such colossal structures, which used to require manual labor and hard work?" On the Great Wall, Mo Fan teased the history professor Qiu Yuhua, who was leading the group.
The old professor was very dissatisfied with this statement. "What do you know, kid? Qin Shi Huang was not only a great monarch, politician, and strategist, but also the most remarkable earth-elemental mage in our history. The Epang Palace and this Great Wall he built are timeless. No matter how the wheels of history turn, they still stand. Do you think the stones of the Great Wall are just some ordinary broken stones? With your cultivation level, you could attack here for ten days and still not be able to make a crack in the Great Wall!"
Watching the old professor reprimand Mo Fan, Yun Hua sighed. This was already the third day that Yun Hua and his classmates had been in the capital as exchange students.
They've been visiting several famous tourist attractions in Beijing for the past few days. At first, it was novel, but after doing it for several days in a row, it's starting to get a bit boring.
Yunhua glanced at the others, who all looked like they were dozing off.
Yunhua had visited the Great Wall in her previous life, but now she only remembered the crowds and had no recollection of the specific scenery.
Although this is my first time in this world, it seems that everything is the same, including the sea of people everywhere.
After visiting several sacred sites of Chinese magical civilization, the group finally entered the Imperial Capital Academy.
The Imperial Capital Academy truly lives up to its reputation as China's premier magic academy. Along the way, Yunhua witnessed things that were difficult to describe in words.
Upon entering the university in the capital, we were quickly accommodated by teachers who were responsible for welcoming us and arranged for us to stay in the student apartments.
Being able to become an exchange student means that everyone is a mid-level mage, so the living conditions must be very good. The apartment has a lobby, each person has a private room, and the apartment building is very tall, almost on the top floor.
Teacher Lu, who was in charge of receiving the students from the Imperial Capital Academy, told Teacher Gu Han and Teacher Qiu Yuhua, who were leading the team from the Magic City Academy, that the exchange students from the other six schools would arrive one after another tomorrow afternoon, at which time the magic competition between the various schools would begin.
Magical sparring among universities is an essential part of the exchange student program and an opportunity for each university to showcase its strength.
If it were any other school, losing to a prestigious university in the capital would be acceptable, but for Mingzhu University, losing would be a huge loss of face.
Mingzhu is the top university in Shanghai, while Didu is the highest magic university in the capital.
These two most renowned magic academies in the country are often compared, and the outcome of this competition will be very significant in determining who is the true leader among all the magic academies in the country.
