The last act quickly began amidst the cheers of the students, as a Western man appeared on stage.

"Dear friends of Yan University, I'm thrilled to be part of Yan University's centennial celebration!" the Magician Jackson, dressed in a suit and donning a top hat, said. His accent was so authentically Yanjing that, without seeing the person speaking, one might really think he was a local!

As soon as Jackson spoke, he nearly won over the affection of all the students present. After all, language is the fastest way to bridge the gap between people.

However, Ling Feng frowned; he knew Jackson, but the Jackson before him was clearly an impostor.

As a superpower wielder, each superpower wielder possesses a unique aura, and it was by sensing the aura of the man before him that Ling Feng could confirm, the person who looked exactly like Jackson was not the real Jackson!

Who was he? Ling Feng couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"In the eyes of many, so-called magic is nothing but Blinding Technique!" Jackson said with a smile, "Of course, there are many videos online claiming to debunk magic. But is the real world of magic, particularly, so easily decoded?"

As he spoke, Jackson waved his hand, and suddenly a small bird covered in colorful feathers appeared on his fingertips.

All the students below couldn't even notice how the little bird had appeared.

With a flick of his hand, the bird circled around Jackson, continuously fluttering its wings, letting out a clear chirp.

"How magical!" Liu Tingyu exclaimed, eyes lighting up at the spectacle.

Ling Feng touched his nose; although he wasn't sure who this impostor was, he seemed to have an ability similar to the real deal's, controlling light!

Jackson's ability was to manipulate light. People are able to see objects because light reflects from them into the human pupil.

And with this ability, Jackson could bend light, causing it to distort. This way, he could use this ability to create many unthinkable effects, such as this colorful little bird!

In fact, it was an ordinary bird; he had simply concealed the light reflected off the bird earlier, so no one present could see it! Once he changed the reflected colors on the bird, what was an ordinary bird became colorful in everyone's eyes!

However, such Blinding Technique could only fool ordinary people! To someone like Ling Feng, a master, the bird's strong life force was evident; even if he couldn't see it, he knew there was a bird in his hands!

"Now, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived!" Jackson snapped his fingers.

Then, in front of everyone's eyes, the bird in the air gradually blurred, as if becoming transparent, and then completely disappeared!

"Hiss!" The students below, unaware of the truth, were wide-eyed; they simply couldn't comprehend how the bird had vanished!

Seeing the crowd's excitement rise, Jackson couldn't help but smiling slightly, "Well, what we just saw was merely an appetizer. The real performance officially begins now!"

"The magic I have prepared this time is called The Great Human Transformation," Jackson said with a slight smile. "I believe you have all seen this act before. However, my performance this time is quite different because I'm not going to transform one person, but thirty!"

Jackson spoke calmly, "To ensure the effectiveness and fairness of the magic, I will randomly select thirty individuals from the audience. Now, please look at the big screen above; when it displays a student's face, I hope that student will come up to assist! Let's begin."

With the students looking on in eager anticipation, faces of their peers flashed across the big screen above the stage.

Finally, the camera stopped, and the chosen students appeared on the big screen. Those selected emitted cries of surprise and delight—they finally had the chance to experience this magical magic firsthand!

But the last person to appear in the camera frame was none other than Chen Ningxue!

Seeing Chen Ningxue selected by the camera, the chosen students couldn't help but burst into roaring applause and cheers, while the students below were filled with regret and disappointment. Why hadn't they been chosen? If they had been selected, they could have had close contact with Chen Ningxue!

Seeing the students' high spirits, Chen Ningxue also smiled and then walked down from the VIP seats.

"Now, please put on your blindfolds!" Jackson said, "During the magic performance, you mustn't take off your blindfolds, understand?"

The crowd nodded, received their blindfolds, put them on, and then Jackson had his assistant pull up a huge banner, blocking the thirty people from view.

"Alright, now is the real moment to witness a miracle!" Jackson said, "From left to right, slowly move the banner away!"

Following Jackson's command, the assistant slowly removed the banner!

To everyone's disbelief, when the empty stage was revealed, the thirty people had vanished right before their very eyes!

The audience couldn't help but exclaim in uproar, even those in the VIP seats had their eyes wide open in disbelief!

"How is this possible!" one student exclaimed, "That's not one person; that's thirty people! Even if there were some kind of mechanism, it wouldn't be possible to transport everyone away in less than ten seconds!"

"Exactly, and these are all students from Yan University, including Chen Ningxue. They definitely couldn't have rehearsed this beforehand! What on earth is going on?"

"This magic is truly amazing! It absolutely can't be compared to the magic on TV where just one or two people vanish!"

...

Watching the amazed expressions of the audience below, Jackson smiled slightly. "I'm sure everyone is currently in shock, wondering by what means I made these people all disappear. Do you want to know the secret behind it?"

"Yes!" the audience said in unison.

Jackson shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "I'm sorry, but even if you want to know, I can't possibly tell you. This concerns the livelihood of us magicians!"

The audience laughed heartily, pleased with Jackson's humor.

"Alright, having made people disappear, I must bring them back!" Jackson said with a slight smile. "Count backward from five, and they will return immediately!"

As all the students counted down, the final number fell. Jackson snapped his fingers with a crack, and in an instant, the entire place went pitch black. In less than a breath, it returned to normal—and in that single breath, thirty participants stood on the stage!

"Thank you for your cooperation!" Jackson said, "You may now remove your blindfolds! The performance is over, thank you all!"

It was too magical; all the students clapped vigorously. The magic show was truly brilliant and stunning.
