  "I'm just a first-year freshman at Magic Academy, Luo Jia senior, you've never seen me before." Xia Ming frowned in response.

  "Ah, I see! So you're a newcomer! That's why I've never seen you before. You seem to get along pretty well with Miss ViVi!"

  "What does 'Luojia Xuechang' mean?" Xiaoming asked back.

  "Haha, no big deal, you're probably a first-timer at our gathering, right? Come on in, the more the merrier! Want to join in on some fun and play our magical painting game?"

  Xia Ming smiled, he understood what Luo Jia meant.

  Luojia saw Xiaoming and Su Weiwei chatting happily, mistakenly thinking that Su Weiwei had a crush on Xiaoming, so she vented her frustration of being rejected onto him.

  As for how to vent, it's mostly because of that magical painting that made Xiaoming lose face.

  "Luó jiā!" = "Luo Jia!"

  Su Weiwei shot a sharp glance at Luo Jia, roughly understanding what she wanted to do. With her straightforward personality, she was naturally dissatisfied with Luo Jia's approach.

  Ke Luo Jia, however, took this as Su Weiwei's protection of Xia Ming, which made him even more jealous and asked Xia Ming with a hint of provocation: "What's wrong, can't you play along, junior? It's understandable, after all, magic painting is a test of magical control. As a newcomer, you're probably not very good at it. I'm being too demanding, forget it!"

  Luojia pretended to retreat and intentionally provoked Xiaoming.

  Implicitly, if Xiaoming refuses Luo Jia's invitation, it would be equivalent to publicly acknowledging that he is not good at controlling his magic power! Admitting this in front of so many people would be no different from being slapped hard on the face.

  Xia Ming naturally understood Luo Jia's calculation, but he was originally very interested in magic painting. Moreover, Luo Jia's provocation was not enough to intimidate Xia Ming.

  "Luojia Xuechang laughed and I, although not talented, am willing to give it a try to add to the excitement for everyone." Xiaoming's eyes flashed with a smile.

  As soon as this was said, everyone present was shocked and amazed.

  What was surprising to them was that Luo Ya, a well-known figure in the Magic Academy, had invited an ordinary freshman; now this freshman had accepted as if it were only natural, which was even more unexpected!

  Many people have been secretly laughing at him, this newcomer is just ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, too tender!

  "Little brother, you..."

  Tang Ge also looked at Xia Ming with some concern, feeling that Xia Ming was a bit reckless.

  Su Weiwei's eyes also showed a hint of apology, apparently feeling guilty for dragging Xia Ming into this matter.

  "Great, it's really refreshing!"

  Luojia hurriedly praised Xiaoming, making him regret it, and smiled: "Since you agreed, let's set a rule. How do you want to paint?"

  Xia Ming glanced at Luo Jia, then suddenly smiled and said: "As Master Xue said, I'm not very skilled in controlling magic. Why don't we draw together instead? You can teach me along the way?"

  "What an arrogant rebirth..."

  "Actually wants to compete with Luo Jia in magic painting, this newcomer is too exaggerated, I really admire!"

  "You ignorant little brat..."

  The surrounding voices suddenly became noisy, without exception, all pointing at Xiaoming who was smiling.

  "Alright, since you've 'cordially invited' me, I'll accompany you then! How about this: let's set a time limit of one hour and have a magic painting competition. In the end, we'll ask everyone to judge and see who paints better!"

  "As long as the senior is willing, I have no problem."

  "Alright then! Excuse me, friends, I'll have you make way. My classmate and I will perform a magic painting to liven up the atmosphere for everyone!"

  Everyone made way for Xiaoming and Luojia, leaving a large space between them.

  All the students lost their mood for gathering, one by one eagerly looking at the scene.

  "Xia Ming's brother is a bit reckless, Luo Jia should be a 5th-level magician, but he has been at the 5th level for a long time, Xia Ming's brother just stepped into the 5th level, and his control over magic power is probably not as good as Luo Jia's." Tang Ge said in a low voice.

  Su Weiwei said beside him, "Not necessarily, Xia Ming is not an impulsive person, he should be confident." Her voice was clear and calm as a spring, firmly saying.

  It has to be said that although there were only a few encounters, Su Weiwei understood Xia Ming better than Tang Ge.

  Someone has already sent over two sheets of dragon blood paper and a special magic pen, placed in front of Xiaoming and Luojia.

  "Then let Miss Vivian help us keep time!" At this moment, Luo Jia still smiled at Su Weier with a smile.

  Su Weiwei nodded coldly and said directly: "Begin."

  As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Jia began to take action.

  Luojia was clearly prepared, he just thought for a moment, then started painting, the magic brush slightly shook, and the magic elements shot out, Xiaoming could also feel the activity of the magic elements around him.

  Luojia was indeed very skilled in controlling magic, and every move he made was just right. The magic on the dragon blood paper did not leak out at all, and as the magic pen moved, a rough outline of a painting had already taken shape.

  Xia Ming, however, leaned to one side, his gaze unexpectedly falling on Luo Jia's body, as if he had no intention of writing.

  "That newborn didn't even move its pen? Is it really going to give up?"

  Everyone was disappointed, and this newcomer was indeed too tender. As soon as he came up, he was stunned. He only knew how to stare at Luo Jia, it seemed that this game was hopeless, really not worth watching!

  Xia Ming didn't deliberately not draw, but wanted to see what Luo Jia had drawn.

  Luojia's brush strokes had already completed the rough outline of this painting, and on the originally pure white dragon blood paper, an animal appeared in its infancy - it was exactly the pet thunder eagle on Luojia's shoulder!

  Jet-black and shiny feathers, sharp beast pupils, sharp claws... These are all characteristics of the Thunder Eagle. Moreover, what Luo Jia painted was his beloved pet Thunder Eagle, which he had been in close contact with day and night. He was extremely familiar with the habits of the Thunder Eagle, and the Thunder Eagle in the painting was vividly depicted. From this, it can be seen that Luo Jia's control and use of magic were incredibly pure!

  Tang Ge cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, Luo Jia is too cunning! He actually painted his own pet Thunder Hawk. That Thunder Hawk pet of his is almost always by his side, and he has an impression of the Thunder Hawk that's all too familiar. And yet he still has the nerve to paint the Thunder Hawk, how shameless!"

  Tang Ge's words also resonated with many people, indeed, Luo Jia was too cunning and chose to draw his own pet. This way, Luo Jia is basically in an unbeatable position, as for understanding Lei Ying, the people present are naturally not as good as Luo Jia.

  Xia Ming also saw through Luo Jia's thoughts, this guy was indeed a troublesome opponent.

  However, at this time, Xia Ming had already noticed and thought about what he wanted to draw.

  Picking up the magic pen, Xiaoming also got started!
