In Mu Ningxue's opinion, Lin Chen was responsible for the opponent's mastery of the Plant System to such an extent.
Mu Ningxue pouted, her Star Map lit up again, and powerful offensive magic once more assailed Mu Nujiao.
However, the result was the same as before; not only did it not harm Mu Nujiao in the slightest, but the plant protective shield grew even larger.
Mu Ningxue, refusing to believe it, began to unleash magic frantically, using intermediate-level one, two, and even three spells, yet her Wind System magic still couldn't break through.
Mu Ningxue suddenly changed her approach, using Ice System magic, but the result still disappointed her; Mu Nujiao's Plant System was completely impervious to severe cold, and its effect was even worse than her Wind System magic.
The enormous plant protective shield stood there motionlessly, as hard as a tortoise shell.
Mu Nujiao's figure remained inside the protective shield, and she did not actively attack. It was clear that Mu Nujiao had a profound understanding of combat. Mu Nujiao knew that her Wind System magic was still intermediate-level and, without a Soul Seed, simply couldn't contend with Mu Ningxue. She could only choose to actively defend. After undergoing the Ice-Fire Refinement, the toughness of her Plant System had significantly increased. Combined with the power of her Soul Seed, Mu Nujiao was confident that Mu Ningxue couldn't break her defense.
However, Mu Nujiao's evasive tactic was a bit unsportsmanlike, making Mu Ningxue stomp her feet in anger. Mu Ningxue realized that as long as Mu Nujiao kept hiding inside, she couldn't do anything to her opponent.
Mu Ningxue could only helplessly look at the referee and say, "I concede..."
Under circumstances where only intermediate-level magic could be used, Mu Ningxue simply couldn't break Mu Nujiao's defense and had no choice but to concede.
"Whoosh..."
As Mu Ningxue's concession was heard, it caused an uproar among the spectators outside the venue. No one had expected the match to end with such a result.
The score of this match between Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy became one to one. Although the score was tied, everyone present knew that Imperial Capital Academy simply couldn't defeat Mingzhu Academy.
Lin Chen's power was despair-inducing; within his Ice System Domain, ordinary participating students couldn't even draw a Star Map, let alone fight.
It was originally thought that this match would be Lin Chen's personal show, but Lin Chen clearly held back. Just then, Mu Nujiao of Mingzhu Academy suddenly emerged as a dark horse. She used a shield to counter a spear, deflecting attacks with the strongest defense.
And the strength of her defense exceeded everyone's expectations; even the strongest Mu Ningxue of Imperial Capital Academy couldn't break through Mu Nujiao's defense.
At this moment, Mu Nujiao also retracted the plant protective shield around herself, revealing her graceful figure, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.
"Mingzhu Academy wins!"
Just then, the referee's voice suddenly rang out, announcing the final result of the match.
Mentor Lu of Imperial Capital Academy looked displeased, stood up, and left the arena with his students, creating a stark contrast between Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy.
"We won, our Mingzhu Academy won!"
"Mu Nujiao is amazing, she defeated the goddess of Imperial Capital Academy!"
"I declare that from now on, Mu Nujiao is my goddess!"
...
The teachers and students of Mingzhu Academy were exceptionally excited, cheering and jumping for joy.
The moment Mu Ningxue walked off the stage, Lin Chen quickly came to her side.
Mu Ningxue stopped, glared fiercely at Lin Chen, and said, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Lin Chen, like a child who had done something wrong, grinned widely and, in front of everyone, embraced Mu Ningxue.
"Mm!" Mu Ningxue let out a soft groan, pouted her small mouth, and her slender hands clenched into fists, continuously hitting Lin Chen's chest.
"Let you hide from me and find other women outside!"
"You say you're already a father, how can you still be so unreliable!"
...
Mu Ningxue gently hit Lin Chen while softly scolding him.
This sudden scene left all the students below the stage stunned.
"Ah! Goddess Mu is taken!"
"Why is this happening, my goddess!"
"I'm heartbroken, I'm going to jump off a building!"
...
Mu Ningxue and Lin Chen's actions elicited a chorus of wails.
On Mingzhu Academy's side, Zhao Manyan's face was filled with utter despair, while Mo Fan, beside him, suddenly realized, "Sure enough, I just felt they had something going on!"
Zhao Manyan looked at Mo Fan aggrievedly and said, "Then why didn't you say so earlier!"
The more he had questioned and disdained Lin Chen before, the more his face hurt from being slapped now. Recalling the previous scenes, Zhao Manyan felt like a clown, utterly mortified.
Mo Fan chuckled and said, "You didn't ask, but Lin Chen really plays the field. He even got our high school teacher!"
"Holy crap!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan immediately cursed out loud. Lin Chen was definitely a scumbag, how could he play like this?
"Huh... what about Mu Nujiao then?" Zhao Manyan asked in surprise, his gaze turning towards Mu Nujiao, who was still on the stage.
Zhao Manyan's voice wasn't loud, but Mo Fan was close by and heard his question clearly.
Mu Nujiao was stunned in place, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue, her eyes reddening, and her delicate body trembling slightly.
"Hahaha, there's a good show to watch, Mo Fan!" Zhao Manyan laughed loudly upon seeing this scene.
Mo Fan looked at Lin Chen thoughtfully, shook his head, and said, "I don't think so!"
In Mo Fan's impression, although Lin Chen played the field quite a bit, he had never heard anyone say that Lin Chen had ever messed up.
Just then, Lin Chen, from a distance, whispered in Mu Ningxue's ear, "Xue'er, let me introduce you to your good sister!"
Mu Ningxue fiercely stomped on Lin Chen's foot, then forcefully pushed Lin Chen away with her slender, fair hands, glared fiercely at him, then smoothed her scattered hair, and a hint of a smile appeared on her pale face.
Mu Ningxue hooked her arm through Lin Chen's, and the two turned to walk towards Mu Nujiao.
Mu Nujiao's star-like eyes narrowed as she watched the two approach, trying hard to control her emotions, and a faint smile was forced onto her exquisite face.
"Xue'er, this is Mu Nujiao, she's my girlfriend!" Lin Chen first introduced Mu Nujiao to Mu Ningxue, and then introduced Mu Ningxue to Mu Nujiao!
"Hello, Sister Mu!" After Lin Chen's introduction, Mu Ningxue generously extended her fair hand and greeted her warmly.
Mu Ningxue's enthusiasm and easygoing nature made Mu Nujiao a bit awkward. She had expected the two to be at daggers drawn but never thought it would turn out this way.
Mu Nujiao gently raised her right hand and chuckled softly, "Hello!"
The two fair hands clasped and parted quickly. Mu Ningxue smiled as she linked arms with Mu Nujiao, looking at Mu Nujiao and saying, "Sister Mu, let's find a place to chat, and ignore this scumbag!"
