Liu Yang was not very interested in attending practical cla.s.ses after lunch. He only attended the theoretical cla.s.ses in the morning.

Since he and Xiao Mei were not the representatives this year, the two did not have private rooms as they have in the last year. Thus, they could only stay in the library and read books to improve their knowledge.

Unlike last year, this year they didn't have a training camp anytime soon. And when they have, it will be different because some rules have been changed.

Liu Yang enjoyed his days as a soph.o.m.ore at peace and relaxed within the school. When he returned home, Liu Yang trained to the limits of his body to control his powers.

How he breakthrough several times very fast, from intermediate to advanced. His foundation was not stable, he needed to stabilize before making another breakthrough again. Because of that, Liu Yang stopped meditating and he kept using his magical energy to the limit.

The fact that Liu Xia was not with him helped a lot at that moment, so he could use all the magical energy he wanted and in any way he wanted.

The element that Liu Yang chose when he reached the advanced magician was the water element. The water element was chosen because Liu Yang wanted to have the ability to breathe in the water, this would be very useful in the future.

However, Liu Yang did not dare to try to achieve another Elemental Fusion at that moment, he was lucky the other time because the Little One managed to open the portal and bring Liu Xia and his father. He wouldn't be that lucky again.

This was Liu Yang's everyday life during his second school year.

Time pa.s.sed and the Schools Compet.i.tion arrived.

The High-Schools Compet.i.tion this year was in an abandoned city and the theme was power. As in the previous year, Liu Yang and Xiao Mei partic.i.p.ated, the two didn't even have to go through the school's qualifiers to be elected.

For Liu Yang, the compet.i.tion was like a walk in the park, he was in the top eight again. He didn't come in first because he couldn't defeat the rank 5 creature in the end. Liu Yang did not show his strength as an advanced magician, that was a secret yet.

During the compet.i.tion, Liu Yang met Xie Xinyue again, the two advanced a little in their relations.h.i.+p. During the holidays, she visited Liu Yang's house and slept there for a few days, despite having done nothing. The two also had several dates together and many other things as a couple. The two could already hold hands.

Xie Xinyue was already treating Liu Yang as if he were her boyfriend, while Liu Yang was doing the same thing. When Xiao Mei and Song Jia found out about this, they were shocked before asking Liu Yang about it.

Liu Yang just summarized the facts and let the girls imagine the rest.

At the end of the compet.i.tion, East School was the champion. Liu Yang easily beat his opponents in the second and third stages.

When he returned to school, Liu Yang was greeted with applause and congratulations from teachers and students.

After the High-Schools Compet.i.tion, the rest of the year was the same as always, just boring and monotonous cla.s.ses.

From time to time, some freshmen and veterans asked Liu Yang for help with magic control.

…

Some more time pa.s.sed, Christmas and New Year was almost here.

Liu Yang, Xiao Mei, Song Jia, and Xie Xinyue went out together for Christmas, they had a date together.

The people who saw Liu Yang last year, they were shocked when they saw him again. Before, he only went out with Liu Xia, but this year, he had three beautiful girls by his side. How the mall's shopkeepers would not be shocked by this.

(He's a real player !!) That was the thinking of everyone who saw Liu Yang again with new girls.

After the date, the girls spent the night at Liu Yang's house. He, Xiao Mei, and Song Jia did nothing because Xie Xinyue was in the next room. The trio only did activities when she left two days later, they did it for two days before Xiao Mei and Song Jia came home.

…

On December 30, New Year's Eve, Liu Yang received a message from Xiao Mei, she said that the Majority Ceremony of the Xiao clan, the ceremony was in the main clan. Branch members were invited to take part in this ceremony.

Liu Yang was invited to go there to watch like many other guests from other famous and powerful clans.

The Majority Ceremony was for those who turned eighteen by December 31, 2117, and will be held on January 1 of the year 2118. Many clans had this ceremony to show the talents of the younger generation to the other clans.

On the 31st, Liu Yang flew to Beijing. Song Jia was already waiting for him at the airport, the two went to the house where Xiao Mei was living. She received a home in the main territory of the Xiao clan.

Liu Yang's arrival at Xiao Mei's residence sparked many rumors, those who didn't like her started to say that Xiao Mei seduced her best friend's man, Liu Xia.

Liu Yang and Liu Xia were famous people among the younger generation in China, everyone knew them, in one way or another.

Despite being unhappy with the rumors, Liu Yang and Xiao Mei could not do anything about these rumors.

…

The place where the ceremony will take place was in a large fighting arena in the territory of the Xiao clan. The stage was already set up, the guests were already waiting in the stands, there were a few hundred people, all were people with powerful and influential backgrounds in China.

Liu Yang and Song Jia were already sitting somewhere in the front row looking at the stage. Xiao Mei was already there waiting among several hundred other members.

"Liu Yang, do you think the young miss will do well?" Song Jia commented, she was confident that Xiao Mei could get a good placement during the ceremony.

"I don't know, I haven't seen the other members of the Xiao clan yet to be able to compare with Little Mei." Liu Yang commented as he did not know about the other members, he couldn't think of a precise answer.

"I see… The young miss trained hard after she was accepted into the main clan as an honorary member. Because of the new features, she was able to make a smoother breakthrough. "Song Jia was not in the same situation as Xiao Mei, as a bodyguard, she had far fewer resources than Xiao Mei, despite also being an honorary member of the Xiao clan.

Song Jia was already a Great Mage, to make the breakthrough to the Warrior Mage was something extremely difficult, most magicians stopped at that point. Just like breakthrough an Advanced Mage to the Great Mage. The chances of advancing to the Warrior Mage was little more than advancing to the Great Mage, as the rank of a Great Mage was a big divide between the true beginning of mage cultivation.

The Great Mage rank was where the magicians started to choose their path to follow until the end of their lives.

"Song Jia, do you know what Little Mei's current rank is?" Liu Yang asked curiously, Xiao Mei hid her cultivation because she wanted to surprise him.

"The young miss wants to surprise you. Liu Yang, just wait and you'll see "Song Jia spoke mysteriously.

"It looks like I will have to punish Sister Song Jia in bed later" Liu Yang whispered in her ears. Song Jia s.h.i.+vered when she heard those words, she understood what the punishment would be. The only thing she did was lower her head while blus.h.i.+ng.

Some people who were in various places had hostile looks towards Liu Yang, he felt those looks, but he didn't know why. Liu Yang put those looks aside and focused on Xiao Mei.

Tong… Tong… Tong…

The sound of a bell began to ring, a group of old people appeared in the sky, they were the elders of the Xiao clan.

"Dear guests, we are happy to see that you are interested in seeing this ceremony."

"Young people from the Xiao clan, after today, you will be considered adults by the political system of the country and the world. I hope you don't hold back and show the guests the potential of each one of you "One gray-haired man spoke aloud, he waved his hand and twenty small blocks of stone with a crystal appeared in the arena.

"The name of this crystal is Measurement Crystal, it is used to measure the amount of magical energy injected by you. You just need to inject with all your might for an accurate measurement. Form lines"

"I hope everyone will put all your efforts into it, as you must show your strength during the ceremony and get more resources for your breakthrough"

The total number of members of the younger generation at the site was approximately four hundred, young people who turned eighteen.

The members of the main clan were the first of the twenty rolls, as they were the most influential members.

"Let's start"
