The pressure on Gu Jian was almost half a ton in weight, almost crushing him flat. The ground had sunken in the shape of a human figure, with blood splattering to the side.

Gu Jian was very close to reaching the peak of the Intermediate Level, yet he was completely unable to fight back against Ai Jiangtu. If he had not summoned his Armor Equipment at the end, the pressure would simply have crushed him to a pulp!

Ai Jiangtu did not show any mercy with the attack. He did not seem to care if Gu Jian still had his Armor Equipment available.

If Gu Jian’s Armor Equipment had still been on cooldown, he would be dead by now.

Powdered cement scattered in the air as a cloud of dust swept across the place. The crowd fell silent, no one daring to stand out and interfere, nor did they dare to check on Gu Jian.

The strength that Ai Jiangtu had displayed was not on the same level as students like them. Many people could not even see him controlling it!

Mo Fan slowly uttered, “Space…Space Element!”

Mo Fan would have been totally confused if he had not witnessed the Fiery Sorceress, Jiang Feng, using it. Dimensional Type Magic: Space Element!

The Summoning Element was also considered a Dimensional Type Magic, but only Advanced Magicians had an extremely low chance to Awaken it.

Elemental Magic was the most common, which everyone would learn during high school, and continue to improve in tertiary studies.

However, students would also learn about White Magic, Black Magic, and Dimensional Magic.

It was uncommon for Basic and Intermediate Magicians to have any chance of seeing White Magic, Black Magic, or Dimensional Magic, and among them, the Space Element was one of the rarest!

Ai Jiangtu’s Space Element was too overwhelming. Even the three referees were stunned.

Mo Fan was fairly curious about how capable the other person who was selected as a provisional candidate was, yet when he finally had the chance to meet the person, the fellow was absolutely unbelievable!

Gu Jian was stuck in the ground, not sure if he was dead or alive, although he did look like he had lost half his health there.

Mo Fan finally collected his thoughts after a long moment. He discovered that the devil-like Ai Jiangtu had now transformed into a loving sis-con brother, fondling his sister Ai Tutu’s head, fully expressing his love for her.

“Is…is he dead?” asked Ai Tutu softly.

“He will be if he doesn’t get treated soon,” replied Ai Jiangtu.

“…”

Mo Fan was totally impressed by this violent, biased Ai Jiangtu. He quickly gave the referees a look.

The referees were still recovering from their bewilderment. It took them quite some time to drag Gu Jian out of the ground and sent him hurriedly off to the infirmary. If any student died when they were on duty, they would have to shoulder a huge responsibility!

“There are too many people here, let’s go,” said Ai Jiangtu, glancing at their surroundings.

However, before he could go, the students nearby instantly vanished, scared that the maniac would simply wipe them out to get some quiet time.

After seeing Gu Jian’s outcome, both Li Jie and Liu Xing were relieved that they had not scolded Ai Tutu despite holding a grudge against her.

Everyone left together, Ai Jiangtu inviting them to get some drinks as if nothing had happened.

Ai Jiangtu was obviously an alcoholic. He had emptied a few bowls before they hardly discussed anything. However, he was not as stern as he was when they first met him, no different than an ordinary young man.

Perhaps only when drinking was he able to take off the stern temperament of a soldier.

“Oh, so you’re Mo Fan.” Ai Jiangtu glanced at Mo Fan in surprise.

There were only two provisional candidates so far, and one of them was Ai Jiangtu from the military academy. As such, Ai Jiangtu was quite curious who the other person was. To his surprise, the guy turned out to be his sister’s housemate.

“Mm, I wouldn’t have bothered with all that if I knew she had a brother like you,” smiled Mo Fan.

Ai Jiangtu was even crueler when it came to avenging his sister!

“It’s not the same, you did it as a friend, I did it as her brother…” Ai Jiangtu said sternly while shaking his head.

“Alright.” Mo Fan could only smile wryly. Based on Ai Jiangtu’s logic, if every one of Ai Tutu’s friends and relatives were to teach Gu Jian a lesson, how many times would he have to die to make it even?

“Either way, I’m happy to meet you in advance. I’m very strict with my team, I don’t look at strength only, but also one’s courage and character. It does seem that you’ve qualified,” said Ai Jiangtu.

“Your team?” the observant Ding Yumian quickly repeated.

Ai Jiangtu was stunned for a moment, before he quickly waved his hand and switched the topic.

It seemed like Ai Jiangtu had leaked out some information after having a few drinks.

Mo Fan was not stupid. He immediately understood the meaning behind Ai Jiangtu’s words.

This guy was the captain for the national team! Not only was he a provisional candidate, he was even given a role!

On second thought, it was far from a surprise. This guy from the military academy had regularly roamed between the boundaries of life and death, thus he was definitely very experienced with fighting. His ability to command and discipline surely outmatched the rest of the students, not to mention he was stronger than other people at the same age, and his mysterious Space Element…

If someone like him was the captain for the national team, Mo Fan was quite looking forward to the World College Tournament. How many peerless geniuses and strong opponents would he meet?!

After some time, Ai Tutu dragged her brother away to enjoy some time together in Shanghai. Ai Jiangtu had come to visit his sister despite his busy schedule, hence the others had no intention of disturbing them.

After Mo Fan arrived back at his apartment, he sank into the couch and mumbled to himself, “Who would have thought…”

“About what?” Mu Nujiao came out from behind the bar like a ghost. Her pale hand was holding a glass of bright red wine.

“Oh, do you know Ai Tutu’s brother?” said Mo Fan.

“Are you referring to Ai Jiangtu?” Mu Nujiao asked, her voice holding great respect.

“Yeah, that guy is so strong.”

“Indeed, I heard lots of legends about him when I was younger. He’s a maniac; he went to the military academy, killed lots of demon beasts, and was still a lot stronger than us students who spent lots of time cultivating,” Mu Nujiao seemed fairly tired. She sat on the other couch and put the glass aside.

“What’s with you, drinking wine?” asked Mo Fan, as he realized something did not feel right about Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao let out a wry smile and sighed, “What else could it be… I don’t think I will be able to secure a nomination. Without it, my family won’t invest further in me.”

Mu Nujiao took another sip. To her surprise, Mo Fan silently took the glass away and emptied it.

Mu Nujiao’s eye widened, with a hint of embarrassment.

This shameless man, that was her glass!
