This reward was too precious.

No matter who obtained it, it was equivalent to obtaining a life-saving trump card.

“Haha, Su Xing, congratulations. You’re first again!”

“As expected, you’re indeed powerful!”

“Your class’s performance was very outstanding this time!”

“I’ll reward you on behalf of the academy!”

Zhao Kang was all smiles as he looked at Su Xing in relief.

“Especially you, Student Su Xing!”

“Congratulations on winning the Best Newcomer King award! I hope you can continue to work hard in the future!”

“I’m afraid that even the first place in the first grade hasn’t obtained such recognition?!”

Zhao Kang praised with a smile. It could be seen that he was very satisfied with Su Xing.

From his perception, Su Xing’s strength had already reached the late-stage of Tier 2 and was very close to Tier 3.

“It’s my honor.”

“Thank you for your praise, Deputy Dean Chen.” Su Xing smiled modestly and politely.

As the only Son of the Elements of the academy and one of the youngest mages, it was not overboard no matter how he praised Su Xing’s performance.

Su Xing nodded slightly and put the Ancient Fire Elemental Guide into his storage ring.

This way, he was not worried that others would snatch it.

This storage ring was the only thought his mother had left for him back then.

Although it was only an initial-stage storage ring that could only store 10 things and the overall space was not more than 2 square meters, it was already enough for the current Su Xing.

Su Xing had always worn it close to him and had never taken it off.

“System, quickly check the attribute panel!”

After answering Dean Zhao Kang, Su Xing immediately summoned the system and could not wait to open the attribute panel.

[Su Xing]

[Level: Early-stage Tier 2]

[Elemental Affinity: Fire (99%), Wind (80%)]

[Magic Points: 0]

[Spell: Meditation Technique (Tier 0, Proficient), Fire Ring Technique (Tier 1, Mastery), Wind Technique (Tier 1, Proficient), Fire Dragon Technique (Tier 2, Proficient), Flame Explosion (Tier 1, Proficient)]

[Contract Magic Pet: None]

“I didn’t expect the gains of this academy’s test to be so great!” Su Xing was surprised.

In particular, the Fire Ring Technique was already at the Mastery level.

This also meant that he was no longer limited to fighting solo opponents. With the support of the Fire Ring Technique, Su Xing’s battles could be said to be endless in possibilities!

Apart from the mysterious reward, the top three would each obtain 1,000 credits. In addition, they would be rewarded with a low-level magic crystal!

Credits could be used to make all kinds of spending in the school. Su Xing’s first thought was to buy some cultivation resources for advancement.

Low-level magic crystals were also very extraordinary.

To their level, it could already be considered a very useful supplementary cultivation material.

“Su Xing, this is your mage badge. Congratulations, from now on, you’ve officially stepped into the circle of mages!” Zhao Kang said with a smile. Then, he handed over a mage badge with Su Xing’s personal identity engraved on it.

This badge stored all kinds of information about Su Xing electronically.

It could be understood as a universal tool that he carried with him. Not only could he swipe his card to pay, communicate and store items, but it could also be used for authentication.

This was a universal badge!

Moreover, as the level increased, the information on the badge would also change.

This was also the symbol of a mage’s status.

With the mage badge, he could carry out certain missions according to his level, or rewards, school missions, and so on.

“Yes, thank you, Dean Zhao Kang. I’ll continue to work hard,” Su Xing said with a smile.

Zhao Kang nodded in relief and said, “After passing the academy’s test, other intermediate research institutes will immediately come to poach people. This means that you’ll enter better places to study.”

“Are you ready?”

Su Xing was stunned for a moment before nodding firmly.

He was definitely prepared to enter a higher-level research institute to study. This also meant that his strength would increase further!

He even had the chance to come into contact with more magic and see a wider world.

This was Su Xing’s desire.

After all, in this world, mages were the truly popular profession!

Now that his cultivation level had reached the early-stage of Tier 2, his combat strength was even more terrifying. He was already at the upper-middle level among the students. It could be said that he was very dazzling!

Such strength could definitely be ranked first in the ordinary class!

“Alright, since you’re ready, follow me now,” Zhao Kang said.

“Now?!” Su Xing was a little surprised. The test had just ended, and someone from the intermediate research institute had already come to check the situation?

This was too fast!

No matter what, the strength of the intermediate research institute was much better than the initial level. Moreover, the resource allocation in all aspects was very outstanding and advanced.

If he could obtain the favor of a good research institute, his future learning path would be much easier!

“Yes! The intermediate research institutes are already recruiting new people. Let’s hurry over and not waste any time,” Dean Zhao Kang said.

“I understand.” Su Xing pondered for a moment before turning to leave and walking towards the classroom door.

His movements immediately attracted the attention of many students.

In the conference room.

Four middle-aged men were already waiting there, and their mixed voices continuously sounded from the conference room.

“Old Wang, our research institute must have this child!” The bald man’s aura was not inferior at all.

The shirt man called Old Wang laughed when he heard this, “Old Tu, I think you’re just like your name. You’re old and muddled! Don’t you know the configuration and status of your research institute? You dare to challenge our research institute?”

“I said that our research institute must obtain Su Xing!”

At this moment, after a woman heard their argument, she could not help but chuckle.

“I say, Ah Li, you be the judge. Who do you think is worthy of that child?!” Old Tu asked with a frown.

Ah Li covered her mouth and chuckled. Then, she said, “In my opinion, I think our research institute has a better chance! Hehe.”

“You…” Old Tu was flustered and exasperated. He pointed at Ah Li, but in the end, he did not know what to say.

“Stop arguing.” At this moment, an old and energetic voice sounded.

The fourth person was a very calm middle-aged man with a wolf tail haircut. His entire body looked very domineering and imposing.

“That child is here!”
