Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant

Thus, the Imperial Capital and Southern Institutes' teams were arranged to stay in the main campus of Pearl Institute. The news spread like wildfire, sparking lively discussions among the students.

Under the home-field advantage, Lu Jun quickly obtained the list of exchange students from the two institutes. It included the Imperial Capital's five-member team—Zu Jiming, Guan Yu, Jiang Yu, Mu Tingying, and Nanrong Ni—as well as the Southern Institute's duo, Zhou Xu and Li Kaifeng.

These seven individuals were all key members of the National Battle Team two years later.

Their cultivation levels were undoubtedly top-tier among their peers and stood out even when compared to those a few years older. Each had powerful backgrounds, and their primary elemental magic had likely reached Intermediate Level, Tier 2 by now.

"Interesting." Lu Jun's interest was piqued as he stared at the names of Zu Jiming, Guan Yu, Mu Tingying, and Nanrong Ni. These four had notorious reputations. If Mu Tingying and Nanrong Ni only targeted Mu Ningxue, it was still manageable, but the first two required close attention.

Rubbing his chin, Lu Jun had a feeling these two troublemakers might stir up some drama. He decided to stay on campus for now.

After all, Dean Xiao had specifically instructed him to maintain order. This wasn't just about the exchange competition; they also had to suppress the arrogance of hot-headed students and ensure the next three months passed without chaos.

Letting Pearl Institute descend into complete disorder would bring shame to everyone.

On the other side, Zu Jiming and Guan Yu met up. After being assigned to individual apartments for a few days, they were already bored. Every day was just attending classes.

As soon as they met, Zu Jiming complained, "This place is suffocating! When can we finally start fighting?"

Guan Yu didn't look pleased either. "Just wait a little longer."

"Heh heh heh." Suddenly, the beast-like Zu Jiming chuckled darkly and said, "I have to admit, the girls in Shanghai are really something. They're so fresh and pretty. But damn, those annoying flies acting as their bodyguards are driving me crazy."

"I might have an idea to push Pearl Institute into starting the exchange competition directly."

Hearing this, Guan Yu immediately understood. No wonder Zu Jiming had asked him to meet up—he clearly had a plan. Lowering his voice, Guan Yu asked, "What's the idea?"

"I've already looked into it. The girls' dormitory in the main campus isn't far from our apartment. So, how about we take a little midnight visit to the girls' dorms?"

As Zu Jiming spoke, his eyes gleamed with a sinister, beast-like light.

"This… doesn't seem like a good idea. If we get caught, we're done for," Guan Yu hesitated, then added warily, "Are you okay right now? You're not being influenced by your family's secret techniques, are you?"

"Relax." Zu Jiming patted his chest confidently. "I won't cross any lines. We'll just take a look around, spread some ambiguous rumors, and provoke Pearl Institute a bit. If their boys have any spine, they'll get riled up."

Hearing this, Guan Yu thought it over for a long time before finally nodding. "Alright!"

Late at night, when everything was quiet, two sneaky figures clung to the walls. Using Wind Track magic, Guan Yu helped the two of them scale the buildings.

It was the time when many girls were taking showers, and the lights were bright. The bathrooms were filled with indistinct silhouettes.

Zu Jiming's breathing grew heavier, and his eyes were filled with lustful intent. However, these ordinary girls weren't his target. Over the past few days, he had noticed a white-dressed girl with an elegant temperament and an exceptionally captivating figure.

Unfortunately, she had ignored him entirely and returned straight to her dormitory. All he remembered was the building she entered. Thus, he had set his sights on her, which was the real purpose of this little "excursion."

As for causing trouble? Heh… Zu Jiming had grown accustomed to being arrogant. As the direct heir of the Zu family, who would dare challenge him?

Many female students in the Imperial Capital Institute had suffered at his hands, yet all the incidents had been covered up. What could Pearl Institute possibly do?

As Zu Jiming traced the dormitories using Wind Track, he hadn't even passed a few rooms when a sharp, commanding female voice suddenly roared in his mind, accompanied by a deafening mental blast:

"Who dares spy on the girls' dormitory?!"

Along with the mental transmission came a powerful Mental Shock.

Buzz! Buzz!

Zu Jiming and Guan Yu felt an excruciating pain in their heads. Their magic was instantly interrupted, and their bodies uncontrollably fell from the building's walls. Their faces were filled with terror—not just from being caught but also from the overwhelming fear caused by the mental attack.

Fortunately, both were heirs to influential families. Zu Jiming, who specialized in the Curse Element, had already reached Intermediate Tier 2 thanks to his family's resources. Meanwhile, Guan Yu possessed a magic tool that protected his mind and quickly recovered.

Mid-fall, Guan Yu activated the Earth Element Ripple Rock, causing the walls to ripple like waves, protruding rock ledges to slow their descent.

Zu Jiming, however, roared angrily, activating the power of his Curse Element. A blood-red tiger-striped curse mark spread across his body, causing him to swell in size. His clothes were torn apart as his frame expanded, resembling a transformation akin to the Hulk, growing to nearly 2.5 meters tall.

With one hand, he grabbed the falling Guan Yu, while the other latched onto the protruding rock ledges. Using the obstructions to slow their descent, they slid down the building and successfully landed, albeit still shaken.

However, the loud noises had already alerted the entire girls' dormitory.

Both men looked up at the high-rise dormitory, where a white-dressed woman stood on the balcony of one of the rooms. Her face, perfect and flawless, was now icy cold as she gazed down at them with a commanding presence.

Ding Yumian hadn't been in the shower and had remained in her dorm room. The moment the two men entered the range of the girls' dormitory, her powerful mental strength detected them, and she immediately struck.

At this moment, Zu Jiming, whether due to the effects of the beast-like curse mark or sheer madness upon seeing the woman he desired, didn't flee. Instead, he fixed his fiery gaze on her, completely captivated.

Beside him, Guan Yu pulled at him with all his might, but it was like trying to move a mountain—Zu Jiming didn't budge an inch.

"Ahhh!!!"

Soon, the entire girls' dormitory realized something was wrong. A wave of piercing screams erupted, echoing deafeningly into the night sky. In an instant, all the lights in the dormitory turned on, illuminating the entire area as bright as day.

"There are perverts in the dormitory! Everyone, protect yourselves and prepare to attack!"

"I've lived all these years, and this is the first time I've seen someone court death like this!"

The Light Element girls quickly activated Brilliant Light, sending beams of intense light piercing through the night and converging on the two intruders, illuminating their surroundings as if it were daytime.

"Sisters, grab your weapons and follow me—let's take down these perverts!"

Once the targets were identified, some hot-tempered female mages shouted angrily. Leading the charge, one of them used Wind Track to rush forward, while others launched spells of the Fire and Lightning Elements. Balls of flame and arcs of lightning rained down in quick succession.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrified Guan Yu let out a heart-wrenching scream, "Run now!"

Only then did Zu Jiming snap out of his daze. Following Guan Yu, he quickly fled, clutching his head and running frantically. They had barely left the spot when explosions erupted behind them, leaving behind a scorched crater.

Both men used Wind Track to escape at top speed.

The moment the commotion broke out at the girls' dormitory, Lu Jun woke from his meditation. He was staying temporarily near the apartments of the Imperial Capital Institute's students and close to Ding Yumian's dormitory, keeping an eye on them at all times.

Seeing the chaos, Lu Jun's expression turned cold as he snorted internally. "A dog can't change its nature to eat filth. Someone from the Imperial Capital Institute has gone to raid the girls' dormitory."

There was no need to worry about Ding Yumian. With her level of mental strength, she would have sensed them from far away.

Nevertheless, Lu Jun quickly headed to the scene. Activating the Azure Cloud Boots, he rushed toward the dormitory. When he arrived, the scene was already in complete chaos. Multicolored magic lights flew in all directions, making it impossible to see clearly in the dark.

He dared not approach recklessly, fearing he might be mistakenly attacked by the enraged girls.

At that moment, Ding Yumian made her move. Wearing a flowing white dress, she stood gracefully on the balcony railing. Her bare feet balanced delicately as she constructed a star pattern. Mental Ripple, a Mid-tier Psychic Element spell, spread out, linking the minds of all the girls present.

Her commanding voice echoed in their minds:

"Everyone, follow my lead! Attack mages, aim your spells at the points I've marked to block their escape routes. Light mages, expand the illuminated area as much as possible. Wind mages, split into groups and give chase. And over there—that man is on our side. He's Lu Jun from the Azure Campus, known as the Butcher of the Academy. Let him through!"
