Chapter 89 The protagonist always appears last

Xu Fan helped Mu Ningxue wipe the cold sweat from her forehead with concern, but when he reached out his hand, the cold sweat had already frozen into ice.

The ice element had broken through to a higher level, and the burden of the Ice Crystal Braking Bow on Mu Ningxue's body had indeed become even greater.

The bracelet on Mu Ningxue's wrist suddenly emitted a faint red light. A stream of heat suppressed the raging Ice Crystal Bow for Mu Ningxue while also removing the last trace of coldness from her.

"Xu Fan, thank you!"

Mu Ningxue hugged Xu Fan tightly and said, "Breaking through to the high level in the second year of college was something she had never dared to think about before! And having reached this point, she finally had the confidence to face the huge Mu family."

"You're welcome, go get some sleep!"

Xu Fan gently patted Mu Ningxue's back, and Mu Ningxue was indeed very tired, so she fell into a deep sleep under Xu Fan's comfort.

But when she woke up, she found that it was already 1:30 in the afternoon, and the battle between the two schools was scheduled for 2:00 in the afternoon, so time was a bit tight.

Mu Ningxue quickly washed and changed her clothes, but Xu Fan brought her lunch. How could Mu Ningxue still have time to eat at this time?
"It's already so late and we're both going to be late. We're going to be made examples of this!"

Mu Ningxue gave Xu Fan a cold look and said, but still took the rice ball from the hand he met.

"Haha, don't worry, the hero always appears last!"

Xu Fan laughed and said, "Besides, you will be preparing for a high-level wind element breakthrough next, so this is a good opportunity for you to experience the high-level wind element's Wings of Wind in advance!"

As Xu Fan spoke, he stuffed another Galaxy Vein into Mu Ningxue's pocket. Mu Ningxue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after changing her mind, she accepted it with a clear conscience.

Now there was no need for her to calculate things too clearly with Xu Fan. She had already prepared to give everything she had to Xu Fan.

"Isn't your captain here yet?"

Lu Yiming said a little angrily. He looked at his watch again and it was already one fifty. The absence of the exchange team leader between the two universities was a very serious accident.

Lu Zhenghe, Xu Dalong and others were silent. Lu Zhenghe secretly took a look at the lineup of Mingzhu Academy. Fortunately, the captain of the opposing team did not come. Now he was not afraid of anything. The Ghost Pattern Violent Wolf was invincible!

"Is Xu Fan really going to be absent? He will be nagged to death by Dean Xiao when he returns!"

Mo Fan also frowned. He knew very well that Xu Fan had received benefits.

"This kid is too tactless. You can't drag Mu Ningxue into the abyss just by being cool and carefree!"

Feng He quietly observed everyone's reactions and couldn't help but frown. If Mu Ningxue was really absent, even if he was the principal, he couldn't protect her!
"Haha, Lao He, don't be anxious. I think this guy knows his limits. Just wait. He will definitely arrive in time before the formal communication!"

Pang Lai on the side said with a smile. He took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes slightly. His spiritual power at a high level had already sensed the turmoil of the wind element in the distance. It seemed that someone was flying towards this side quickly with the wings of wind.

"And this time Xu Fan is going to give you a surprise!"

Pang Lai seemed to have sensed something, and said to Feng He with a look of surprise on his face.

"Surprise? What kind of surprise could it be? Could it be that Mu Ningxue has achieved a breakthrough to a higher level?"

Feng He said unhappily, but then he noticed Pang Lai's serious expression.

"No way, how old is Mu Ningxue? She's already at a high level?"

Jiang Yu on the side fell into silence. His teacher was the famous chief court mage Pang Lai, but he was only at the second intermediate level now, and it was unknown when he would be able to break through to the advanced level.

"Humph, if Mu Ningxue really breaks through to a high level, then everything will be fine. Even the spot on the National Team may be unshakable!" Feng He nodded and then noticed the disappointed Jiang Yu.

"Although Mu Ningxue's natural talent is said to be a natural spirit seed, her talent is very problematic. I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say that she is a natural soul seed. It's normal for her to make faster progress in the early stages!"

Feng He comforted her, but it didn't help.

"I've said it before, Mu Ningxue is totally unreliable. In my opinion, I should be the captain!"

Mu Tingying stepped forward and said that she was going to completely replace Mu Ningxue. Before anyone else could say anything, a gust of wind blew into the martial arts arena.

"Haha, is this someone from your Imperial Capital Academy? He actually spoke ill of me behind my back!"

Two wind tracks extended to the middle of the venue, and Xu Fan and Mu Ningxue instantly came to their respective teams. However, the strong wind they brought only blew towards Mu Tingying, immediately making her look dusty.

"Rebellion! The abandoned son of the Mu family wants to kill his master!"

Mu Tingying felt a strong murderous aura, and suddenly she was scared to death. She screamed, causing the people in Mingzhu Academy to laugh.

"Mu Ningxue! You—"

Lu Yiming wanted to rush up and question him, but the next moment he could not say anything. The high-level aura from Mu Ningxue, which had just broken through and had not yet been completely restrained, immediately blocked his mouth and taught him how to face a distinguished high-level mage.

"How was your rest?"

Lu Yiming must have studied Sichuan Opera in depth. At least his face-changing technique is not something that ordinary people can learn.

"No way, high level, Xu Fan, are you okay?"

Gu Han was also a little worried. Even if a high-level wizard was unable to cast high-level magic, he was no longer on the same level as a mid-level wizard. The amount of magical energy alone was so huge that a mid-level wizard could not even imagine.

"Don't worry, I'm confident. We can't let the Imperial Capital Academy lose too badly, after all, we're on their territory!"

Xu Fan said casually that there were three battles in total, and it would be enough to win two, and it didn't matter if he lost one.

"You are the captain, you arrange the tactics!"

Gu Han said to Xu Fan, and all the team members had no objection. After all, Xu Fan’s strength was well known.

Xu Fan and Mu Ningxue each took a step forward and looked at each other. The young couple who were so affectionate yesterday became rivals at this moment.

"Although I have already imagined the final outcome, I still want to try again!"

Mu Ningxue said seriously, her eyes sweeping over the people behind Xu Fan.

"Okay, then I'll give you a chance. The first team match will be Shen Mingxiao, Zhao Manyan, Luo Song, and Bai Zangfeng!"

Xu Fan smiled. The ones he picked were all at the bottom. If the Imperial City lost this game, there would be no need to play in the next one, unless Mu Ningxue played in every game.

"Okay, then we are here. Xu Dalong, Liao Mingxuan, Jingjing, and Zhao Mingyue. The four of you will take the lead. Don't let us down!"

Lu Yiming spoke up, fearing that Mu Ningxue would be confused and imitate Xu Fan in issuing orders.
