After finally dealing with the swamp centipede, Mo Fan led Zizhou and the others to the underground of Pingsha Lake through another road. There was a dry river valley there. If Mo Fan hadn't found the place by chance, it would have taken them a long time to find it.
With Li Man's guidance, Zizhou and his companions traveled smoothly and soon found the spirit seed that had attracted everyone's attention. Zizhou was not interested in it, Li Man had no use for it, and Mo Fan had originally wanted to give it to Zhang Xiaohou, so in the end, Zhang Xiaohou absorbed the spirit seed.
After everything was over, they had to part ways. The unusual things here had been resolved, and Li Man naturally had to return to the military headquarters to report. Zhang Xiaohou had asked Zhan Kong for leave, and the time was not long, so he left as well.
"Are you going to look for that teacher Tang Yue you mentioned?"
Originally thought that after this was over, Mo Fan would go back to school with him, but unexpectedly, before leaving, Mo Fan received a call from Tang Yue, who seemed to want to talk to Mo Fan about something.
"Yes, Zizhou, you go back first this time. I will go back after I help Teacher Tang Yue."
Zizhou did not stop him. His purpose of coming here was to find Mo Fan. Now that he had found him, he didn't care where Mo Fan went. Besides, Mo Fan’s demonization problem has been solved this time. As long as Mo Fan doesn’t use the demon system, he doesn’t have to worry about the rest.
"By the way, Zizhou, I wanted to ask you just now, is this little guy in your pocket your pet?"
Mo Fan looked at the adorable burnt rice cake lying in Zizhou's shirt pocket and asked curiously.
Zizhou noticed Mo Fan’s eyes. He reached out and held Jiao Miguo in his hand, and touched Jiao Miguo’s little head affectionately.
"It's not a pet. It comes from the same place as your Star Wolf."
Now Mo Fan understood. It seemed that the third system that Zizhou had been hiding was the summoning system.
"I didn't know what your third system was before, but now it seems that you are really lucky. Among the most difficult systems to awaken, you have awakened the summoning system and the space system. Your strength has increased a lot now, right?"
Mo Fan punched Zizhou's shoulder lightly with his clenched fist and teased with a smile.
Zizhou smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew how expensive the summoning system was. It was because Jiao Miguo was his own system that he did not have to worry about the summoned beasts. However, the same could not be said for the contracted beasts. He had promised Yan Ling many benefits before he could get him to sign a contract with him. Currently, he still owed Yan Ling a soul seed.
"Summoning is really expensive, and it's difficult to upgrade now. It's expensive to collect all the upgrade materials, and some of them are hard to find. Now I'm really confused. It would be great if my strength could be greatly improved!"
After saying that, Zizhou sighed and didn't want to talk about the previous issue anymore.
"Since you are going to look for your teacher Tang Yue, I will go back to school. Last time I used space magic across the boundary, my space magic has been downgraded to only intermediate level 2, and my mental power has been damaged. I need to repair it for a while. Now that your problem is solved, I can rest assured to recuperate my mental power."
Mo Fan felt very guilty when he saw Zizhou's relieved look. It was because of him that Zizhou's strength was damaged, and he came to him while he was injured. He could never repay this brotherhood.
Noticing Mo Fan's expression, Zizhou knew that Mo Fan was being too stubborn. He sighed, patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and consoled him.
"Don't blame yourself! No one wants something like that to happen. You are the victim. If you feel that you have implicated us, just look forward. When you are truly powerful, even if you feel that our existence is weak, you still have the ability to protect us, right? Don't dwell on it."
Mo Fan understood that Zizhou was trying to comfort him, and he didn't like to get hung up on things. This time, Zizhou's advice made Mo Fan feel a little better.
---------------------------------------------------
Finally, Zizhou went back to school alone. After all, school had already started for a few days, and Mo Fan had been found. If he didn't go now, the teacher would be worried.
Perhaps he had solved the thing that had been on his mind for a long time, Zizhou slept all the way back to school. When he reported to the Ice Department of the main campus, he was still so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.
The Dean of the Ice Department of the main campus has been patient for a long time. If Zizhou's previous report had not been handled by Dean Xiao, he would have thrown Zizhou out directly. He was so disrespectful even for reporting. In order to avoid seeing or being bothered, the Dean of the Ice Department took Zizhou directly to the Ice Department Academy.
When they arrived at the Ice Academy, the students were competing in the chain repair field. When they saw their dean approaching with a group of people, they stopped and looked at the dean and Zizhou.
"Old Zheng, come here for a moment."
The Dean of the Ice Department immediately spotted the middle-aged teacher, Mr. Zheng, who was standing in the corner watching the students competing in the chain repair field. He was too lazy to take Zizhou with him, so naturally he had to hand him over to Mr. Zheng.
After leaving Zizhou to Teacher Zheng, the Dean of the Ice Department turned and left.
Zizhou and Teacher Zheng were left staring at each other. If it weren't for the discussions behind them, Zizhou and Teacher Zheng would probably still be in a daze.
"Student Qin Zizhou, you are the last one to report this time. The college ranking competition has ended, but the college will give every student a chance to challenge. If you want to challenge someone, you can tell me. But there is only one chance, so you have to think carefully. This is a question about your own resources."
Teacher Zheng was very responsible and explained the situation of the college clearly to Zizhou, including the rewards and school arrangements.
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Zheng. When can I challenge you?"
Teacher Zheng didn't expect the new student to be so anxious, but he could understand it. After all, college resources are really important, especially for students who are still in school.
"Haha, it's fine within three days, but if you fail the challenge, your ranking will drop to the bottom. Have you thought about it?"
"Yeah, I want to challenge for the first place."
Hey! ? ~~
The middle school students who had been eavesdropping were immediately blown away. They didn't expect the new student to be so fierce. He challenged the number one right away. Who gave him the courage? He wouldn't think that the number one in the ice department was an easy opponent.
Unlike the shocked students behind him, Teacher Zheng no longer had the smile he had before. His face was serious and he seemed to be angry.
Indeed, if he challenged the number one right away, everyone would think he was overestimating his own abilities.
"Student Qin, this joke is not funny! You have to understand that this is Mingzhu Academy. Every student who comes here is a genius. You don't think you are so great that you want to naively challenge the first place, do you? I advise you not to have unrealistic fantasies. You should find another partner now. It's not too late!"
Zizhou didn't care about their attitude. He just yawned and spoke casually.
"No need. If the number one is here, I can challenge him now. If not, I can challenge him tomorrow."
Zizhou was really sleepy, but he had to go see the teacher later, so it might as well be solved now. If it really didn't work, he could wait until tomorrow.
Teacher Zheng was furious when he saw Zizhou's nonchalant look. He felt that Zizhou was too arrogant, just like those children from wealthy families, who looked down on others and were self-righteous.
Teacher Zheng misunderstood Zizhou. He thought Zizhou's yawning was arrogance. Zizhou was simply sleepy. He was too tired from traveling and didn't sleep well, so he became like this. As for why he wanted to challenge the first place now, it was because the National Government Competition was about to begin and the school selection was also about to begin. The first place of each college did not need to participate in the preliminary selection, so Zizhou challenged the first place right away this time.
"I heard you want to challenge me?"
A cold female voice came from the crowd. At this time, a passage appeared as the students retreated. A tall figure appeared in front of Zizhou. Her long ice-blue hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her ice-blue eyes looked in the direction Zizhou was looking.
"What a beautiful ice beauty. Mo Fan would drool if he saw her. 』
Zizhou's divergent thoughts and dazed look made the girl opposite him think that he was a frivolous person. She snorted in annoyance and turned her head away.
