Chapter 44 Mu Zhuoyun's Apology
As the ice lock wrapped around Jiang Han, seven purple star trails slowly emerged around him, eventually forming a lightning-based star map beneath his feet.
"Thunderbolt - Top-Down Strike!!!"
Dark clouds gathered above Jiang Han's head, and purplish-blue lightning surged within them. Just as the ice chains were about to ensnare Jiang Han, the purplish-blue lightning in the sky suddenly blasted out, shattering all the ice chains that were about to wrap around him.
"Ning Xue, bye-bye," Jiang Han said cheekily.
Just as the purplish-blue lightning shattered the ice locks, an ice-based star map reappeared beneath Jiang Han's feet. Before Mu Ningxue could react, she was firmly bound by more than a dozen ice locks.
The moment Mu Ningxue was bound by the ice chains, she knew she had lost. She never expected that Jiang Han's strength would surpass hers so quickly. Just how terrifying is his talent?
If Jiang Han didn't possess such terrifying talent, he wouldn't be...
"I lost," Mu Ningxue said calmly.
*Snap!* Jiang Han snapped his fingers, and the ice locks binding Mu Ningxue turned into snowflakes and dissipated.
After the ice lock on Mu Ningxue's body dissipated, she stepped outside. Jiang Han hurriedly rushed over and said with a smile, "Ningxue, I didn't mean to just now."
"Hmm, it's alright. With your abilities, you don't even need to take the magic college entrance exam to be admitted to any of the top universities. Would you be interested in coming to our Imperial Capital Academy?" Mu Ningxue asked, turning her head.
"Sigh, forget it, I want to choose for myself first," Jiang Han said casually, resting his head on his hands.
"Alright, remember to let me know which university you decide to go to."
After Jiang Han and Mu Ningxue's duel ended, the audience erupted in uproar, with gasps of astonishment filling the air.
"Hiss~, Jiang Han is too terrifying, even Mu Ningxue lost."
"Yes, it's absolutely terrifying. Jiang Han has cultivated his lightning and ice elemental skills to the intermediate level, which is beyond the level that a high school student can achieve."
"That's right. If I didn't know that Jiang Han was from Tianlan Magic High School, I would have suspected that he was a genius cultivated by some prestigious university."
Jiang Kun put away the shield magic tool that Mu Zhuoyun had taken out from the table, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhuoyun, I'll gladly accept this shield magic tool, hahaha."
"Patriarch Mu, it seems we've won too. Shouldn't the stakes be adjusted..." Zhan Kong rubbed his index finger and thumb together with a smile, looking at Mu Zhuoyun, who sat in the main seat.
Mu Zhuoyun snorted coldly, took out a special card and threw it at Zhan Kong, saying in a cold voice, "Here, there are five million in here, you can take it."
"Hahaha, Patriarch Mu is quite straightforward, I like it." Zhan Kong laughed loudly after taking the card.
Deng Kai, Zhu Chang, and the others also smiled. Mu Zhuoyun's initially gloomy expression quickly dissipated; he understood after realizing Jiang Han's identity. After all, that Jiang Han kid was...
Clatter, clatter, clatter! After Jiang Han and Mu Ningxue's duel ended, Mo Fan stood up from his seat and walked towards where Mu Zhuoyun was sitting, saying calmly, "You should fulfill your bet."
Before Mu Zhuoyun could speak, Mu He stepped out from the audience and scolded, "Mo Fan, don't go too far."
"I didn't make him apologize to me, I made him apologize to my father!" Mo Fan said coldly.
Mu Zhuoyun stood up, walked past Mu He and Mo Fan, and knelt down on one knee in front of Mo Jiaxing below to apologize, "Brother Mo, what happened back then was my fault. I shouldn't have been so reckless. Please forgive me."
"No, no, no, Brother Zhuoyun, please don't do this. I can't accept this. Besides, what happened back then is in the past, isn't it? Get up, get up quickly." Mo Jiaxing hurriedly got up to help Mu Zhuoyun, who was apologizing to him, feeling even more apprehensive.
Mu He hurriedly helped Mu Zhuoyun to his feet. After Mu Zhuoyun stood up, he announced loudly, "The winners of the two duels are Mo Fan and Jiang Han. Now, Mo Fan is granted the qualification to cultivate at the Earthly Sacred Spring for seven days."
"Whoa whoa!!!"
After Mu Zhuoyun announced the winner of the duel, countless excited shouts rang out from the audience. Among them, Zhang Xiaohou was the most excited, his face practically saying, "They are my boss, hurry up and worship me!"
Jiang Kun, Zhan Kong, Deng Kai, Zhu Chang, and others clapped with smiles, feeling quite gratified to see young talents like Jiang Han and Mo Fan from Bocheng.

A few days later, Jiang Han and his classmates from Tianlan Magic High School were about to graduate. That afternoon after school, their homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, suddenly stopped the students who were about to leave and called out loudly, "Students, to celebrate your upcoming graduation, I'm treating you all to barbecue tonight. You can choose the place."
"Wow!! Barbecue! Long live Boss Xue!!!"
"Long live Boss Xue!!!"
After a discussion lasting more than ten minutes, everyone decided on the location of the barbecue restaurant at the alley entrance of the snack street. The alley entrance barbecue restaurant is relatively close to Tianlan Magic High School. The prices there are relatively reasonable, and students from relatively wealthy families can go back there for a meal whenever they have the chance.
Half an hour later, at the barbecue restaurant at the entrance of the alley in the snack street.
The restaurant was packed with students. Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou originally wanted to have a table all to themselves, but Zhou Min insisted that she was the class monitor and worried that the three of them weren't good at grilling, so she came over to take care of them.
Jiang Han acted as if he didn't care. He had been to this shop quite a few times. During his three years at Tianlan Magic High School, he was either cultivating or accompanying Xin Xia to explore Bocheng. The snack street had been thoroughly explored by Jiang Han and Xin Xia several times.
Jiang Han placed the meat skewers on the grill, sprinkled oil on them, flipped them over, and brushed them with pepper and cumin powder. His movements were fluid and efficient. In just a few minutes, the aroma of grilled meat wafted into the noses of Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Zhou Min.
Sniff~, sniff~~, sniff~~~.
"Mmm, it smells so good! I didn't expect you to be such a good barbecuer, Jiang Han." Zhou Min unceremoniously snatched a skewer of freshly grilled meat from Jiang Han's hand and stuffed it into her mouth, her mouth dripping with oil.
Jiang Han placed the baked goods on the baking tray and teased, "Zhou Min, weren't you here to comfort the three of us who are terrible at cooking? How come you're eating them right after I finished baking them?"
"Um, well, don't worry about these little details," Zhou Min waved her hand and said.
"Alright, Xiao Hou, Mo Fan, you two eat too. We can grill the rest slowly." Jiang Han picked up a meat skewer and gestured for Mo Fan and Zhang Xiao Hou to eat first.
While Jiang Han, Zhang Xiaohou, and Mo Fan were enjoying their meal, their homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, stood up from the innermost table, raised a glass full of beer, and announced loudly, "Come on, let's toast to Jiang Han and Mo Fan for bringing glory to the school a few days ago!"
"Yes, cheers!" The students all stood up and raised their glasses in celebration.
After taking a sip of beer, everyone sat down. Several boys, hoping to attract the attention of the female classmates, downed their glasses of beer in one gulp.
"Yeah, Fan-ge's performance back then was absolutely amazing. Do you know the look on Mu Bai's face when he said he wanted to eat shit?" Zhang Xiaohou said incoherently while eating barbecue.
After swallowing the roasted meat in his mouth, Mo Fan said with considerable pride, "That's right, don't you know who I am?"
"Oh, who are you?" Jiang Han looked at Mo Fan with interest, signaling Mo Fan to continue showing off, while he watched silently.
Mo Fan took another bite of the grilled meat in annoyance and said rather unhappily, "Damn it, Jiang Han, can't you just let me show off in a proper way?"
