,WTR-LABVersatile Mage : I'm Always Two Levels Above Mo FanCh. 75 / 35221.3%WebWeb+AI#75Chapter 75 Dual-System Advanced Level, Main Campus AssessmentChapter 75: Dual-element Advanced, Main Campus Assessment..."I'm just waiting for Mo Fan!""Before this kid breaks through to Advanced, I'll practice the Space Element myself!""I'll grind my spiritual power myself!"After making up his mind, Su Chen let out a foul breath with extreme ease.Although the coming days might be a bit tough and he couldn't completely lie flat,but for that extremely glorious path of Forbidden Spells in the future, this bit of early investment and endurance was definitely worth more than its value."Mo Fan, oh Mo Fan, you better win some face for me.""I've bet my life savings on you, after all."Su Chen looked up at the extremely azure sky of Shanghai, a look of extreme anticipation curling the corners of his lips, and turned to walk towards the direction of the Jinlin Apartment.In the following days, not only did he need to continue exploiting Mu Nujiao, but he also had to find a way to get some heavenly treasures that could enhance spiritual power.This cohabiting life was truly becoming more and more promising....Two or three months slipped away quietly like quicksand between fingertips amidst extremely regular and fulfilling cultivation and cohabitating life.During this period, Su Chen enjoyed his capitalist life rain or shine every day.By the way, he subjected Mu Nujiao to extremely harsh practical combat beatings in Stadium No. 3.As for Ai Tutu, she was like a carefree mascot; every day, besides eating snacks and binge-watching TV shows, she acted as a cheerleader on the side.Occasionally, she would stamp her feet in anger because of Su Chen's sharp tongue.Until late into this night.Su Chen, who was soundly asleep on the extremely soft large bed in the second-floor bedroom, was suddenly startled awake by an extremely violent palpitation coming from his spiritual world!He abruptly opened his eyes, and a pair of extremely dazzling purple-black lightning bolts instantly flashed through his profound pupils!"Rumble—!!!"Deep within Su Chen's spiritual world, that Lightning Element nebula, which was already extremely full and presented a dark purple color, was now rolling violently like boiling magma.Under the impact of the huge magic energy, the forty-nine Lightning Element stars made extremely cheerful buzzing sounds.Following that, they began to split and multiply at an extremely crazy speed!The violent power of lightning wreaked havoc in the spiritual world, but it was perfectly constrained by that extremely mysterious power of the system, continuously broadening Su Chen's spiritual barrier.One hundred... two hundred... three hundred...In the end, a full 343 dazzling purple stars intertwined in Su Chen's spiritual world into a boundless lightning galaxy exuding an aura of destruction!Advanced! Lightning Element Advanced!Feeling the terrifying magic energy in his body that was dozens of times larger than before, as if he could summon heavenly thunder to destroy everything with a flick of his hand,Su Chen let out a long breath with extreme comfort, and a smile of extreme brilliance curled the corners of his lips."This kid Mo Fan finally pulled his weight."Su Chen sighed in his heart with extreme gratification.After a few months of crazy internal involution, that kid Mo Fan's Lightning Element finally broke through the bottleneck and successfully stepped into the Intermediate-order Level 2.And his own Lightning Element also smoothly entered Advanced Level 1, which could be described as a joyous occasion."Wind Element Advanced Level 1, Lightning Element Advanced Level 1, plus a newly started Space Element..."Su Chen calculated his current family fortune with extreme satisfaction.Dual-element Advanced!Looking across the entire Pearl Institute, let alone the freshmen of the same cohort!Even the old hands who had lingered in the main campus for three or four years, or even some young instructors, would be ruthlessly crushed by him in terms of cultivation!With this extremely solid strength as a backing, Su Chen's mentality also underwent extremely subtle changes."With current strength, dealing with the upcoming main campus assessment and a series of subsequent events is basically more than enough.""There's no need to push myself so hard."Su Chen stretched lazily with extreme sloth.He was very clear about the importance of combining work and rest.Not only did he need to relax himself, but he also felt it was time to reduce the burden on Mu Nujiao.After all, over the past few months, the intensity he applied to Mu Nujiao was simply too great.Every day she was either being beaten up or on the way to being beaten up.Su Chen was truly a bit worried; if one day he pushed this arrogant aristocratic young lady to her limits and she simply threw down her tools and went on strike, where would he find such a high-quality and wealthy sparring partner?Therefore, in the following days, Su Chen magnanimously announced the cancellation of the weekend devil special training.And during usual practical combat feeding moves, he also deliberately slowed down the rhythm, no longer making every move fatal like before.However, facts proved that Su Chen had completely underestimated Mu Nujiao's extremely terrifying desire to win and thirst for power.He had originally thought Mu Nujiao would be extremely grateful for his burden-reducing behavior, but the result was quite the opposite."Su Chen, why didn't you use your full strength today?""Your Wind Track has slowed down, and that flaw just now, you clearly could have used the Wind Disk to pull me right in, why did you pull back your hand?"In Stadium No. 3, Mu Nujiao wiped away the sweat on her forehead with extreme dissatisfaction.That pair of extremely beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Su Chen, her tone even carrying a hint of questioning."Ahem, well, isn't it because I saw you were too tired recently and wanted to let you catch your breath."Su Chen found an excuse perfunctorily."I don't need to catch my breath!"Mu Nujiao bit her lips with extreme stubbornness, her gaze extremely firm."Su Chen, I pay you such a high sparring fee not for you to play house with me!""What I want is real actual combat!""If you feel my current strength doesn't deserve you using your full strength, then I'll practice until it does! Continue!"Looking at Mu Nujiao's extremely serious expression, Su Chen froze for a moment, then smiled with extreme helplessness.Well, nowadays, when a capitalist wanted to show some kindness and give employees a vacation, the employees actually took the initiative to ask for overtime, and even complained that the pressure given by the boss was not big enough."Alright, since Boss Mu has such an extremely perverted masochistic tendency, this Su naturally will accompany you to the end."Su Chen shrugged with extreme nonchalance, his gaze instantly turning extremely sharp."But let's make it clear beforehand, if you get beaten to tears later, don't blame me for not reminding you!""Cut the crap! Bring it on!"Although helpless, Su Chen did not refuse, and simply continued to apply pressure to Mu Nujiao....The time of cultivation always passes extremely quickly.In the blink of an eye, the freshman academic year of the Pearl Institute was declared over in this extremely tense atmosphere.After a brief summer vacation, the curtain of the sophomore year officially opened.And for all sophomore students, the first extremely important major event of the start of school was, the main campus assessment!The Pearl Institute was divided into the Green Campus and the main campus.To put it bluntly, the Green Campus was just an extremely huge novice village.Only by truly passing the assessment and entering the main campus could one truly step into the core circle of the Pearl Institute and get in touch with those extremely core cultivation resources.Problematic ad?Report it hereYou can disable popup ads by becoming a contributor.

WTR-LABVersatile Mage : I'm Always Two Levels Above Mo FanCh. 76 / 35221.6%WebWeb+AI#76Chapter 76 The Truth is the Quickest Knife!Chapter 76: The Truth Is the Sharpest Blade!...On this day, Qingdou Pavilion was buzzing with noise and excitement.All the sophomore students gathered in Qingdou Pavilion.Su Chen, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu stood extremely low-profile at the edge of the crowd.Compared to the surrounding students whose palms were sweating from nervousness, Su Chen's expression was extremely relaxed.He even had the leisure to look at the scantily clad female students around him.Soon, an extremely familiar figure appeared on the high platform in the center of Qingdou Pavilion.The soul figure of Pearl Institute, Dean Xiao.The entire Qingdou Pavilion instantly quieted down, to the point where you could hear a pin drop."Students.""Today, you standing here means your first year at Pearl Institute has already ended.""Green Campus is the final stop of your youth cultivation and also the last greenhouse where you enjoy the school's protection.""Starting today, you will face the Main Campus evaluation.""I must tell you very clearly that entering the Main Campus is the true tempering, the true difficulty, the true cruelty!"Dean Xiao's words were like an extremely heavy sledgehammer, pounding against the hearts of all the students one strike after another."In the Main Campus, no teacher will follow behind your butts like a nanny to urge you to cultivate.""During field tempering, demons will not show mercy to you just because you are students of Pearl Institute!""In the future, no matter how much grievance you suffer, how much injustice you encounter, how much hardship you endure, and how much blood you shed, you must bite your teeth and swallow it into your stomach!""Because in this extremely cruel magic world, no one will sympathize with the weak!""Tears and complaints are the cheapest and most useless things in this world!"This extremely severe lecture made the vast majority of students present, who had always lived in an ivory tower, feel extremely uncomfortable.However, Dean Xiao did not give them any chance to catch their breath."Now, all students whose cultivation has not yet reached the Intermediate level, turn around immediately and leave Qingdou Pavilion."As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!"What?! You have to leave if you haven't reached the Intermediate level?""This... how is this possible? I'm only missing the very last bit from the Intermediate level!""Dean, please give us another chance!"A sudden burst of extremely strong commotion and pleading erupted from the crowd.However, Dean Xiao stood on the high platform with a face as calm as water and extremely cold eyes, without the slightest bit of shaking."This evaluation does not belong to you yet. Leave, do not waste time here." Dean Xiao said in an icy tone.Those students who had not yet broken through to the Intermediate level, although filled with extremely strong reluctance and humiliation in their hearts, could only lower their heads extremely dejectedly.Dragging extremely heavy steps, they walked dejectedly toward the gates of Qingdou Pavilion.Looking at those leaving, the students remaining inside the venue did not feel much sympathy, but instead raised an extremely strong sense of relief and superiority.Who among those able to be admitted to Pearl Institute was not an extremely outstanding genius?The school provided extremely generous resources and gave a whole year of time; if one could not even break through to the Intermediate level, it could only mean that this person was extremely lazy.For such people, they indeed did not deserve any sympathy."Wow... Dean Xiao is so stern today, it feels completely like a different person from the freshman orientation, so scary."Ai Tutu hid behind Mu Nujiao and muttered in an extremely low voice.Su Chen had his hands in his pockets and said indifferently, "This is not called being stern, this is called reality.""The school is not a charity; resources are limited, and naturally they must be tilted toward more valuable people.""Dean Xiao merely pierced this extremely cruel layer of window paper ahead of time.""Remember, in this world, only the truth is a sharp blade. Being cut early is always better than being torn apart by demons in the wild later."Mu Nujiao nodded; obviously, she also highly approved of what Su Chen said.Following the departure of all those students who hadn't reached the Intermediate level, the originally extremely crowded Qingdou Pavilion suddenly became much more spacious.Taking a rough glance, the number of people who stayed behind was around 1,000.This number actually greatly exceeded many people's expectations.After all, being able to break through to the Intermediate level in the freshman year was an extremely rare genius in any magic high school.But in Pearl Institute, as many as a thousand people achieved it.But thinking carefully, it was normal; stepping into the Intermediate level and being able to skillfully release Intermediate magic were two completely different concepts.Among these 1,000 people, a large portion probably just broke through the barrier of the Nebula, and hadn't even completely drawn the Intermediate star map yet, purely staying behind to make up the numbers."Students who stayed behind, congratulations."Dean Xiao said extremely gently."You have already proven your talent and hard work.""Now, I announce that all of you have officially become members of the Pearl Institute Main Campus!"Dean Xiao's tone instantly became so gentle that many students failed to react for a moment.As soon as these words came out, the entire Qingdou Pavilion first became extremely eerie and quiet for a second, and then instantly blew up!"What?! We're in just like that?!""No way? Didn't they say there was an extremely cruel evaluation? How did a single sentence let us all in?""Yeah! This is too hasty! Don't they need to test practical combat ability?"The students discussed among themselves with extreme confusion.They had originally prepared themselves to face an extremely tragic major melee.As a result, Dean Xiao told them that as long as their cultivation reached the Intermediate level, they would be directly recommended to the Main Campus?This was like, I took off my pants, and you tell me you're a good person?Are you kidding me!"Quiet."Dean Xiao pressed his hand down extremely casually, and the venue quieted down again."I know what you are doubting."Dean Xiao explained with extreme patience."The threshold for the Main Campus is the Intermediate level. As long as you reach this extremely rigid standard, you are qualified to enter.""As for what you call fishing in troubled waters...""Heh, the competition in the Main Campus is extremely cruel. If someone really dares to cheat and sneak in, I guarantee that he won't even last a month before being eliminated extremely ruthlessly."Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.But immediately afterwards, someone extremely keenly raised another extremely critical question."Dean! Since there is no practical combat evaluation, how will the top 10 be judged?!"An extremely loud male voice rang out in the crowd."I heard that the first place in this Main Campus evaluation can get an extremely precious opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation!""The second and third place can get extremely top-tier magic tools, and the fourth to tenth place also have extremely rich rewards!""If we don't fight a match, how will these rewards be distributed?!"...Problematic ad?Report it hereYou can disable popup ads by becoming a contributor.

WTR-LABVersatile Mage : I'm Always Two Levels Above Mo FanCh. 77 / 35221.9%WebWeb+AI#77Chapter 77: The Opportunity to Enter the Three-Step Tower! Mu Nujiao Takes the Initiative to Form a Team!Chapter 77: The chance to enter the Three-Step Tower! Mu Nujiao proactively approached to form a team!...This question instantly voiced the inner thoughts of all the extremely conceited geniuses present.Everyone was an exceptionally proud favored son of heaven, who wouldn't want to fight for first place and get that extremely lucrative reward?Dean Xiao obviously anticipated that such an extremely intense reaction would occur.He smiled extremely calmly, and after waiting for everyone to finish discussing slowly, he unhurriedly pulled a piece of paper from his bosom."Regarding the ranking and rewards, there is naturally an extremely special assessment method."Dean Xiao extremely slowly unfolded the paper, his voice spreading across the entire venue once again:"A few days ago, our school administration received an extremely urgent notice from the military.""A batch of Shadow Demon Beasts used for domestication by the military in an extremely covert base on the outskirts of Magic City,""due to an extremely serious omission in management, led to one of the Shadow Demon Beasts in a semi-domesticated state fleeing overnight!""Shadow Demon Beast?"Hearing this extremely unfamiliar name, many students showed extremely puzzled expressions.Dean Xiao continued to explain in extreme detail."The Shadow Demon Beast is an extremely special creature.""They naturally possess some extremely bizarre abilities of the Shadow Element.""At night, they can conceal their aura extremely perfectly, and can shuttle through the shadows of the city extremely freely without being discovered.""This escaped Shadow Demon Beast has undergone extremely strict special training by the military.""It will not actively launch attacks on humans, nor does it have an extremely bloodthirsty killing nature.""Right now, it is like an extremely agile and extremely cunning stray cat, lurking in some extremely concealed corner of Magic City.""Our school administration's original task was only to assist the military. Once the trace of the Shadow Demon Beast is found in the urban area, we are to notify them immediately. But..."Dean Xiao paused extremely deliberately, his gaze sweeping across the venue with extreme depth, and a trace of an extremely playful smile hooked at the corner of his mouth."Now, I have decided to use this extremely arduous task as the assessment for you to enter the main campus!""I need you to find this Shadow Demon Beast in this extremely massive Magic City, capture it alive in extremely intact condition, and hand it back to the military!""And this is the basis for your assessment ranking to enter the main campus!"After Dean Xiao announced this extremely special task, more than a thousand students all started discussing it with extreme shock.Previously in private, they had extremely heated discussions about the format of this main campus assessment.The vast majority of people thought it would be an extremely tragic melee, or an extremely difficult field survival.They originally thought it would be an extremely pure magic competition between students.As a result, they never expected that it turned out to be an extremely real military task!Searching for a Shadow Demon Beast extremely adept at concealment in the extremely massive Magic City urban area?This was simply more extremely difficult than finding a needle in a haystack!"What is worth reminding you of with extreme emphasis is."Dean Xiao's voice suddenly became extremely solemn."Although the Shadow Demon Beast will not actively harm people, nor does it have a heart for killing, but!""When it suffers extremely intense attacks, persecution, or feels an extremely fatal threat, its temperament will undergo an extremely terrifying drastic change!""The Shadow Demon Beast in a berserk state, its extremely ferocious danger level is definitely no less than an extremely authentic Warrior-level demon!""Therefore, when you find the Shadow Demon Beast and intend to take it down, please plan carefully with extreme caution.""If extreme casualties are caused due to extremely reckless actions, the school administration will not be responsible at all!"Hearing the words Warrior-level demon, many students who were originally extremely excited suddenly gasped with extreme dread.Warrior-level!That was an extremely terrifying existence that required an entire team of extremely elite Intermediate Mages to barely contend with!These rookies who had just broken through to the Intermediate level, if they really pissed that thing off, it would definitely be an extremely miserable end of total annihilation!However, Dean Xiao's next extremely heavyweight sentence instantly ignited the extremely oppressive atmosphere of the entire venue to an extremely crazy peak!"Students or teams who capture the Shadow Demon Beast and deliver it extremely safely to the school's summoned beast iron cage will receive the school administration's extremely generous highest reward!""If it is completed individually and extremely independently, then that student will exclusively enjoy all rewards!""If it is completed by a team, the number of team members is extremely strictly limited to within 5 people, and everyone in the team will receive the extremely same highest reward!""And this extremely generous highest reward is to obtain an extremely precious opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation!"As soon as Dean Xiao's voice fell, the entire Qingdou Pavilion was extremely dead silent for a split second, and immediately afterward, it burst out with extremely deafening exclamations!"Three-Step Tower!!!""Good heavens! It's actually the Three-Step Tower!!!""Insane! The school is really bleeding a fortune this time!!!"When hearing the three words Three-Step Tower, more than a thousand trainees almost all turned their eyes red with extreme madness!What kind of place was the Three-Step Tower?That was the extremely core and extremely sacred cultivation holy land of the Pearl Institute!That was an extremely heaven-defying existence that could exponentially increase a mage's cultivation speed with extreme terror!Let alone newbies like them who had just entered the main campus, even those top-tier senior students in the main campus would fight so fiercely until their heads were battered just to compete for an extremely brief quota to enter the Three-Step Tower!And this time, Dean Xiao actually gave out a full 5 quotas extremely generously!As long as they formed a 5-person team to complete the task, everyone could go in!This was simply an extremely huge temptation like a pie dropping from the sky!Amidst the extremely crazy clamor, Mu Nujiao had all along stood extremely calmly beside Su Chen.In those extremely beautiful eyes, a ball of extremely scorching light also burst out.Three-Step Tower!This was the Three-Step Tower!Mu Nujiao knew very well that her Plant Element had already been at the Intermediate Second Level for a period of time.If she could enter the Three-Step Tower to cultivate, she would have a great probability of allowing her Plant Element to enter the Intermediate Third Level!Mu Nujiao turned her head extremely decisively, her extremely peerless and beautiful face having no hesitation or reserve, staring at Su Chen extremely earnestly."Su Chen, let's team up!"Mu Nujiao's tone was extremely firm, even carrying a trace of extreme and rare urgency.As an extremely proud eldest young lady of a prominent family, Mu Nujiao had always been extremely disgusted with the behavior of relying on others and clinging to someone's coattails.She had always firmly believed that extremely powerful strength must be obtained through her own extremely diligent cultivation....Problematic ad?Report it hereYou can disable popup ads by becoming a contributor.

WTR-LABVersatile Mage : I'm Always Two Levels Above Mo FanCh. 78 / 35222.2%WebWeb+AI#78Chapter 78 Team Up, But Freedom to Move Around: Su Chen Has Other Things to DoChapter 78: Teaming Up, But Operating Independently, Su Chen Has Other Business to Attend To...But this time, facing an opportunity as heaven-defying as the Three-Step Tower, and facing the extremely cunning and dangerous Shadow Demon Beast.Along with the more than one thousand extremely crazy competitors around her, Mu Nujiao very rationally put down her extremely useless pride.In order to secure this spot with absolute certainty, she had to, and was extremely eager to, tightly hug Su Chen's extremely thick thigh!Looking into Mu Nujiao's extremely earnest eyes that carried a hint of urgency.Su Chen did not agree immediately; instead, he slightly narrowed his eyes and fell into a brief contemplation.As for the spot in the Three-Step Tower, Su Chen was naturally extremely covetous of it as well.Although he was already a dual-element Advanced mage, when it came to cultivation, who would ever complain about having too many resources?Furthermore, a blessed land like the Three-Step Tower, which could exponentially increase cultivation speed, would still be of considerable help to his newly awakened Space Element.Although he could choose not to cultivate, before the Space Element was tied to others, he still needed to practice it a little bit himself.Otherwise, when the time came to use it in the future, he would find it insufficient.As for capturing the Shadow Demon Beast, given his current strength, as long as he could find that beast's trace, taking it down single-handedly would be without any suspense at all.However, Su Chen still had other calculations in his heart."Teaming up is not a problem."Su Chen looked at Mu Nujiao and stated his conditions in an extremely calm tone."However, the method of operation must follow mine, and everyone will act independently.""I have my own pace of doing things and direction of investigation.""If I discover the trace of the Shadow Demon Beast on my end, or if I need your cooperation, I will call you at the first instance. And vice versa."Hearing Su Chen's rather uncooperative request, Mu Nujiao slightly knitted her pretty brows.In her cognition, since they had teamed up, they should naturally concentrate their forces, discuss countermeasures together, and search for clues together.For someone like Su Chen to demand complete independent action, what was the point of teaming up?Wasn't this tantamount to just holding a nominal title?But Mu Nujiao was an extremely rational woman. Her brain spun rapidly, and she quickly weighed the pros and cons.Su Chen's strength was unfathomable—this was a profound realization she had gained after enduring countless extremely painful beatings in Stadium No. 3 for so long.In this extremely chaotic battle for supremacy involving a thousand people, Su Chen was definitely the top-tier combat strength.If she rejected Su Chen's conditions, not only would she lose an extremely powerful helper, but she might even become Su Chen's competitor at the very last moment."Alright, I promise you."Mu Nujiao nodded with extreme decisiveness."Information shared, independent action. Once there is exact information, notify the other party immediately."Seeing Mu Nujiao agree so straightforwardly, Su Chen snapped his fingers with extreme satisfaction.The reason he insisted on the condition of independent action was not because he liked acting alone, but because the things he was going to do next were extremely inconvenient to carry Mu Nujiao, this young miss from a prominent family, along with him.He was going to save someone.He was going to save someone whose fate in the original work was extremely tragic and made people sigh with regret—Xu Zhaoting.In Su Chen's mind, that plot from the original work was recalled with extreme clarity.During this battle for the Shadow Demon Beast in the main campus assessment, Xu Zhaoting and his girlfriend Zhang Lulu extremely unfortunately stumbled upon the conspiracy of the Black Vatican while tracking the demon beast.Xu Zhaoting, a passionate youth who had extremely bitterly survived the disaster of Bo City, after discovering the traces of the Black Vatican, did not choose to retreat, but instead extremely bravely chose to investigate in secret.However, what he faced was the extremely cruel and extremely cunning Yu Ang.The ultimate ending was extremely tragic. Xu Zhaoting was tortured extremely cruelly by Yu Ang, and was even forcibly refined into an extremely disgusting and extremely painful Black Beast.As for his girlfriend Zhang Lulu, she also died a miserable death at the hands of the Black Vatican.When Mo Fan finally found Xu Zhaoting, what he faced was already a monster that had lost human reason and was left with only endless pain; Mo Fan could only extremely sorrowfully end his old classmate's life with his own hands.Su Chen considered himself an extremely pure egoist; he would not go about acting like some saviour of the world.However, toward Xu Zhaoting—a classmate who had fought side by side with him during the Bo City disaster, possessed an extremely resilient personality, and was full of a sense of justice—Su Chen always kept a sense of respect in his heart.Since he now possessed extremely strong strength, and since he knew in advance about this extremely tragic ending, if he still watched with open eyes as Xu Zhaoting went to his death, then what would be the meaning of him, Su Chen, cultivating this magic?"Black Vatican..." A flash of extremely cold killing intent swept across the depths of Su Chen's eyes. "Since we've bumped into them, we might as well conveniently clean up this bunch of extremely disgusting sewer rats."Just as Su Chen was secretly plotting his upcoming rescue plan, an extremely, extremely punchable voice suddenly came from the side."Brother Chen! Brother Chen! Take this little brother along!"Only to see that in the crowd, a male student sporting a head of messy hair and an extremely ingratiating smile on his face was extremely difficultly pushing away the surrounding students, shamelessly crowding over in front of Su Chen and Mu Nujiao.It was precisely Mo Fan.This brat Mo Fan familiarly crowded up to Su Chen's side, rubbing his hands together. That extremely sycophantic look made even Mu Nujiao on the side helplessly roll her eyes in extreme speechlessness."What are you here for?" Su Chen glanced at Mo Fan with extreme disdain."Hehe, Brother Chen, look at what you're saying. We are life-and-death brothers who came out of Bo City!"Mo Fan tried to cozy up with extreme shamelessness."I heard everything just now. You've teamed up with Goddess Mu. Since this team hasn't reached five people yet, add me to it, will you?"Mo Fan's heart was running an extremely shrewd calculation.When Dean Xiao announced that the assessment task was to capture the Shadow Demon Beast and the reward was a spot in the Three-Step Tower, Mo Fan's eyes turned green.He was currently extremely eager to enhance his strength; the Three-Step Tower was simply an extremely fatal temptation to him.However, Mo Fan extremely soberly realized that among these over a thousand extremely outstanding sophomore students, trying to stand out and win first place was definitely not an easy task.And among all these people, the only one he felt was extremely inscrutable, and even felt an extremely strong threat from, was this unfathomable Su Chen right before him!Mo Fan's extremely sharp intuition told him that if he went solo, he was extremely likely to have the Shadow Demon Beast snatched away by this extremely cunning fellow Su Chen the moment he caught it.There was no help for it; Mo Fan had already experienced one painful lesson...To ensure foolproof success, the absolute most secure method was to directly infiltrate the enemy's interior and bind oneself together with Su Chen!As long as he teamed up with Su Chen, the biggest threat would turn into the strongest backing. This wave was definitely a steady profit without any loss!...Problematic ad?Report it hereYou can disable popup ads by becoming a contributor.

WTR-LABVersatile Mage : I'm Always Two Levels Above Mo FanCh. 79 / 35222.4%WebWeb+AI#79Chapter 79 Following Xu Zhaoting, Discovering the Black Vatican!Chapter 79: Tracking Xu Zhaoting, Detecting Black Vatican!...Mo Fan was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then nodded in ecstasy."No problem! Absolutely no problem!""Finding things is my specialty!""Brother Chen, you can just wait peacefully for my good news. As long as I lock onto that beast's location, you can just come over and close the net!"For Mo Fan, this condition was simply generous.What he feared most was having his monster stolen at the very last moment!Now that Su Chen explicitly expressed his willingness to act as a thug, this was simply giving him a huge sense of reassurance."Alright, then it's settled." Su Chen waved his hand casually.Mu Nujiao, who was standing to the side, watched these two weirdos reach a bizarre transaction in just a few words, and sighed helplessly in her heart.However, she didn't say much more. After all, she also recognized Mo Fan's strength; with one more powerful teammate, her certainty of obtaining a quota for the Three-Step Tower would increase by another fraction."Since the team is formed, let's act separately."Mu Nujiao said efficiently."I will mobilize my family's intelligence network in Shanghai to carefully investigate the areas where the Shadow Demon Beast might haunt.""If there is any news, I will notify you in the group chat immediately.""Alright! I'll also go ask my reliable informant!"Mo Fan rubbed his hands in excitement and turned around to leave."Go, don't make me wait too long."Su Chen waved his hand perfunctorily.Soon, Mu Nujiao and Mo Fan hurriedly left Qingdou Pavilion respectively to use their hidden channels to search for clues.As for Su Chen, he was not in a hurry to leave.He leaned leisurely against a huge load-bearing pillar of Qingdou Pavilion, his gaze covertly searching among the gradually dispersing crowd.Not long after, his sight precisely locked onto a pair of intimate young men and women.The young man had spirited short hair and a resolute face; it was none other than Xu Zhaoting.Cuddled beside him was a delicate-looking, gentle-tempered girl, who was his girlfriend Zhang Lulu.At this moment, Xu Zhaoting was excitedly discussing something with Zhang Lulu, and their eyes were flashing with wonderful yearnings for the main campus and a strong fighting spirit for this assessment."Lulu, we must work hard for this assessment!""As long as we can catch the Shadow Demon Beast and get the quota for the Three-Step Tower, my Lightning Element will be able to break through rapidly!""By then, I will have the powerful strength to protect you!"Xu Zhaoting said earnestly while holding Zhang Lulu's hand."Mm! I believe you, Zhaoting! Let's search carefully together, we will definitely find clues!"Zhang Lulu responded gently.Looking at this loving young couple full of wonderful hopes for the future, Su Chen's eyes were filled with pity."Wonderful youth... Unfortunately, cruel destiny always likes to tear apart beautiful things for people to see."Su Chen sighed slightly.As the crowd inside Qingdou Pavilion quickly dispersed.Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu also walked out of the pavilion hand in hand, full of drive, ready to start their difficult search journey.Su Chen calmly straightened his body, put his hands in his pockets, and followed unhurriedly.At this time in Shanghai, the night had descended deeply.Bright neon lights flickered on the bustling streets, illuminating this huge steel jungle in a bizarre and motley way.Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu cautiously shuttled through the dim alleys, trying to find the faint shadow aura left behind by the Shadow Demon Beast.And what they didn't know was that behind them in the distant and hidden shadows, a pair of sharp eyes was quietly watching their every move.Su Chen perfectly restrained his own massive Advanced aura.He cleverly utilized the light characteristics of Wind Element magic to completely blend his footsteps into the bustling city background noise.At the same time, although the newly awakened Space Element was still weak, it also endowed him with keen spatial perception abilities.Allowing him to easily maintain a safe distance from Xu Zhaoting that would never be discovered."Go investigate, Xu Zhaoting."...Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu walked side by side in this slightly desolate neighborhood, their figures stretched out long by the street lamps.As for where to look for that fleeing Shadow Demon Beast, Xu Zhaoting actually didn't have the slightest bit of confidence in his heart.He came from an ordinary background and didn't have a massive family intelligence network to call upon like Mu Nujiao.Nor did he have the special connections that Mo Fan had built up through hardships in the Hunter Union.What he could rely on was only the true-and-false mixed snippets on the internet, as well as the wilderness survival common sense he had honed during the disaster in Bo City."Zhaoting, we've been wandering around this area for over two hours, and we haven't even seen a single hair of a demon beast. Are those messages on the internet reliable?"Zhang Lulu tightly grabbed Xu Zhaoting's arm. The evening wind blew across the empty street, bringing a chill that made her involuntarily shrink her neck.Xu Zhaoting stopped, looked around, and analyzed with tightly locked brows."Shadow Demon Beast type creatures are naturally close to darkness and like cold, damp places.""And since it's fleeing outside, it definitely needs to feed.""There is a large area of abandoned meat processing plants and old underground warehouses nearby, which never see sunlight all year round.""And it leaves behind a large amount of the smell of blood; it is definitely its most ideal hiding place.""Let's search patiently a bit more; as long as there is a trace of a clue, we cannot let it go."Zhang Lulu obediently nodded. Although she was a bit scared inside, as long as she followed by Xu Zhaoting's side, she felt incomparably at ease.The two continued to grope forward along the street.Just as they crossed an intersection and were about to turn into a dark alley leading to the old meat processing plant, Xu Zhaoting's footsteps suddenly halted.His gaze was nailed tightly onto a back view a dozen meters ahead.That was a young man wearing a dark gray hoodie with his hands in his pockets.His walking posture was somewhat hunched, his pace was very slow, and he looked completely inconspicuous mixed among the sparse late-night travelers.However, the moment he saw this person, Xu Zhaoting's muscles suddenly tensed, his heart felt as if it was fiercely grabbed by an invisible hand, and an uncontrollable chill rushed straight up his spine to his scalp.That was the post-traumatic stress disorder left to him by the disaster in Bo City.In that blood-flowing massacre, Xu Zhaoting witnessed with his own eyes countless living lives being torn apart by demon monsters.The aura emitted by the gray-clothed person in front, although deliberately restrained, that sickening gloomy feeling could definitely not be wrong!It is someone from the Black Vatican!Xu Zhaoting's breathing instantly became heavy, his fists tightly clenched, and his nails almost embedded into his flesh.The hatred of Bo City's destruction and the images of countless classmates and teachers dying tragically flashed wildly in his mind like a revolving lantern at this moment."Zhaoting? What's wrong with you? Your complexion is so ugly."Problematic ad?Report it hereYou can disable popup ads by becoming a contributor.

Turn around right now and return to the school the way we came. No matter what happens, do not look back."Zhang Lulu froze. Looking at Xu Zhaoting's bloodshot eyes filled with hatred, a woman's intuition told her there was definitely huge danger ahead."I'm not leaving!"Zhang Lulu grabbed Xu Zhaoting's hand back, her eye rims turning red, yet her tone was extremely resolute."Did you find something dangerous?""You're going to risk your life, aren't you?""I'm already your girlfriend, and I will never leave you alone in a place like this. If we go, we go together; if we stay, we stay together!""Stop messing around! That person ahead is very likely a remnant of the Black Vatican!"Xu Zhaoting was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and his voice was even trembling."Those people are a group of bottomless lunatics, heartless beasts who kill without blinking! Following me will only get you killed for nothing!"Upon hearing the three words "Black Vatican," Zhang Lulu's face instantly turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.But she clenched her teeth, tightly clutching the corner of Xu Zhaoting's clothes and refusing to let go."Then I can leave even less!""If it really is the Black Vatican, you going alone is suicide!""One more person means another bit of backup. If worse comes to worst, we can call the police right now or notify the school's mentors!""It's too late."Watching that grey-robed person about to disappear around the street corner, Xu Zhaoting was burning with anxiety.The people of the Black Vatican moved stealthily; once this opportunity was missed, trying to find clues again would be as hard as ascending to heaven.Looking at Zhang Lulu's stubborn and tear-stained face, Xu Zhaoting knew he couldn't persuade her.Time was pressing; he could only sigh helplessly and compromise."Alright, you can follow me, but you must promise me that no matter what happens later, you must hide in an absolutely safe place.""You must absolute not show your face, and even less make any sound. Once the situation goes wrong, immediately escape using Wind Track, and absolutely don't worry about me, understand?!"Zhang Lulu nodded heavily and wiped away her tears.The two restrained their presence, like two cautious night cats, trailing far behind that grey-robed person.The grey-robed person had a strong counter-reconnaissance awareness, specifically picking dead ends and abandoned alleys without surveillance or with damaged streetlights to walk through.The surrounding environment grew increasingly desolate, and the moldy and rusty smells lingering in the air became heavier and heavier.After tailing for about twenty minutes, an abandoned factory covering a rather vast area appeared ahead.The towering chimney in the night looked like a black sword piercing the firmament, and the iron sheet walls on the outer perimeter of the factory building were long since covered in rust, overgrown with withered vines.The large gate was half-open, emanating a creepy, bone-chilling silence from within.The grey-robed person walked to the factory entrance, looked around, and after confirming no one was following, slipped inside.Xu Zhaoting brought Zhang Lulu to hide behind a pile of abandoned shipping containers fifty meters away from the factory gate."Lulu, hide right here.""I'll go inside to scout out the situation. If I haven't come out in half an hour, run straight back to the school to find Dean Xiao."Not giving Zhang Lulu a chance to refute, Xu Zhaoting took a deep breath, and with the cover of the night, silently crept toward the abandoned factory.He didn't choose to take the main entrance; instead, he circled around to the side of the factory building.Above the wall there was a row of damaged ventilation windows, about seven or eight meters high from the ground.Treading on protruding bricks and rusted pipes on the wall, using both hands and feet, he exerted quite some effort before finally climbing to the edge of the ventilation window.He cautiously poked out half his head and, through the shattered glass, looked down condescendingly at the interior of this empty abandoned factory.The internal space of the factory building was shockingly large; intricate steel rebars and beams intertwined in mid-air into a gigantic iron spiderweb.Scattered all over the ground were various rusted mechanical parts and abandoned oil drums.Moonlight poured down through the holes in the roof, casting mottled and twisted shadows on the ground.Xu Zhaoting held his breath, his gaze rapidly searching among those shadows.Very quickly, his pupils suddenly constricted.In an open area in the center of the factory building, borrowing the faint moonlight, he clearly saw four figures draped in grey cloaks.These people lay dormant quietly in the shadows, as if waiting for some prey to fall into the net, exuding that extremely familiar, nauseating stench of corruption from their bodies."They are really here… Grey-robed Priests of the Black Vatican!"Xu Zhaoting gritted his teeth inwardly.He hid in a dead corner of the beam, locking his gaze tightly onto the bottom, and began calculating countermeasures in his heart.Four Grey-robed Priests—if they fought head-on, his chances of winning as a Lightning Element mage who had just stepped into the Intermediate realm were not high.He had to find a way to figure out their purpose and then immediately retreat to fetch reinforcements."One, two, three, four…"Xu Zhaoting silently tallied the number of people below in his heart when suddenly, a layer of cold sweat instantly seeped from his back, and a terrifying thought exploded in his mind.Wrong! The headcount was wrong!There were only four Grey-robed Priests down there, but what about that grey-robed person he had been tracking all the way just now?Added together, there should be five people here! Where did the other one go?!"Are you looking for me?"Just at the instant when Xu Zhaoting's heart was shaken greatly!A cold, teasing, piercing voice that sounded like nails scraping across a blackboard came without warning from the beam behind him!This voice was close at hand, as if it were right against his ear!At this moment, every hair on Xu Zhaoting's body stood on end, and a chill rushed straight to his crown.He turned his head in shock, only to see that less than three meters away from him, the grey-robed person he had been tracking all the way was standing on the steel rebar beam like a ghost.Beneath the grey-robed person's hood was a pale and scar-covered face.That pair of eyes emanating a cruel glint stared fixedly at Xu Zhaoting, the corners of their mouth hooking into a bloodthirsty, ferocious smile.At the feet of the grey-robed person was also a Black Beast covered in pustules and exuding a foul stench.The Black Beast drooled saliva carrying strong acid, greedily watching Xu Zhaoting with those crimson eyes.Exposed!From the very beginning, the opponent knew he was trailing them; this was a trap deliberately meant to lure him into the game!"You ignorant and suicidal fool, since you delivered yourself to my door, stay behind and be a midnight snack for this Black Beast of mine!"The grey-robed person let out a strange, cackling laugh and abruptly waved a hand."Hiss—!!!"That Black Beast let out a piercing scream!Its hind legs exerted sudden strength, pouncing toward Xu Zhaoting like black lightning, its sharp claws going straight for Xu Zhaoting's throat....Problematic ad?Report it hereYou can disable popup ads by becoming a contributor.

WTR-LABVersatile Mage : I'm Always Two Levels Above Mo FanCh. 81 / 35223%WebWeb+AI#81Chapter 81 A bunch of trash who only deserve to live in the sewers dare to bare their teeth in front of me?Chapter 81: A bunch of trash only fit to live in the sewers, yet you dare bare your teeth in front of me?...The battle instantly erupted in a roar!Although Xu Zhaoting was horrified in his heart, the combat instincts forged by the Bo City disaster allowed him to make the fastest reaction at the moment of life and death.He did not retreat, because retreating on the narrow beam meant certain death."Lightning Seal: Thunder Seal: Fury Strike!"The purple star tracks instantly completed their connections around Xu Zhaoting, and the violent power of lightning frantically gathered in his palms.He let out an angry roar, and a thick purple lightning bolt, like a wildly dancing lightning snake, fiercely chopped towards the Black Beast in mid-air."Boom!"The lightning fiercely lashed against the Black Beast's body, erupting with dazzling sparks.The Black Beast let out a miserable scream, falling from mid-air with a charred body, and heavily smashed onto the abandoned machine below.However, before Xu Zhaoting even had time to catch his breath, the four dormant Grey-robed Priests below had all moved."A rat has come in! Kill him!"The four Grey-robed Priests lifted their cloaks at the same time, accompanied by bursts of nauseating chanting, and a full eight huge, hideous Black Beasts crawled out from the shadows.Following the load-bearing pillars and walls of the factory building, they densely climbed up towards Xu Zhaoting in mid-air.Looking at the disgusting monsters surging like a tide below, and the grey-robed man in front of him who was brewing Shadow Element magic, Xu Zhaoting's heart completely sank to the bottom.Despair.This is a dead end.Not only could he not avenge Bo City, but today he would also have to risk his life here.The only thought in his mind right now was to hope that Zhang Lulu outside could hear the commotion and hurry up to run for her life."Die, little bug."The grey-robed man on the beam completed his magic, and a black Shadow Spike fiercely stabbed towards Xu Zhaoting's chest.Just at the moment when Xu Zhaoting was about to close his eyes and desperately release his final Lightning Element magic to perish together!!"Rumble—!!!"An ear-shattering, earth-shaking loud noise burst open without warning at the entrance of the abandoned factory!Following closely, an indescribably violent cyan hurricane, like an enraged storm dragon, crudely smashed through that exceptionally thick rusted iron door from outside the factory building.The two thousand-jin iron doors were simply like they were made of paper in front of this violent wind.They were forcefully torn apart and blown away, smashing towards the interior of the factory with a piercing whistle, instantly smashing two climbing Black Beasts into meat paste!This sudden terrifying commotion made all the Grey-robed Priests and Black Beasts inside the factory freeze in place, looking towards the direction of the gate with faces full of horror.Even Xu Zhaoting was stunned. That Shadow Spike about to pierce him also deviated in direction due to the caster's distraction, grazing his shoulder and nailing into the wall behind him.Amidst the flying dust and scattered rust across the sky, a slender and upright figure, accompanied by the flickering cyan Wind Track under his feet, walked unhurriedly into this abandoned factory that resembled hell."In the middle of the night, a bunch of grown men hiding in an abandoned factory playing with such disgusting monsters, scums of the Black Vatican, your tastes really are as low-grade as ever."The newcomer had his hands in his pockets, with a tone carrying three parts of laziness and seven parts of undisguised mockery.When the moonlight inside the factory illuminated that face, Xu Zhaoting on the beam abruptly widened his eyes, crying out in disbelief and shock: "Su... Su Chen?!"That's right, the newcomer was none other than Su Chen.In fact, ever since Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu started tracking that grey-robed man, Su Chen had been silently following behind them all along.With his current Advanced Wind Element and Space Element foundation, wanting not to be discovered by these few beginner and intermediate newbies was simply easier than drinking water.He watched with his own eyes as Xu Zhaoting settled his girlfriend, and watched with his own eyes as this kid drilled into the enemy's encirclement like a reckless fool.Until he sensed the magic energy surging inside the factory and the battle officially broke out, Su Chen finally ended this cat-and-mouse game and chose to forcefully intervene in the most violent way."What person?! Daring to meddle in our Black Vatican's business, you're tired of living! Tear him apart for me!"Although the four Grey-robed Priests below were slightly intimidated by the momentum of Su Chen breaking through the door, after seeing clearly that the newcomer was just a young student appearance, they immediately revealed cruel expressions.Following their command, the remaining six Black Beasts immediately abandoned Xu Zhaoting in mid-air.Instead, they let out scalp-numbing roars, with all four limbs on the ground, like six black lightning bolts, frantically lunging and killing towards Su Chen from different directions.Facing these monsters exuding a foul stench, Su Chen didn't even lift his eyelids."A bunch of trash only fit to live in the sewers, yet you dare bare your teeth in front of me?"Su Chen sneered, his deep eyes instantly reflecting dazzling purple starlight.There was simply no need to laboriously draw Star Patterns like ordinary mages; with his current Advanced cultivation, releasing beginner and intermediate magic required almost just a single thought."Lightning: Thunderbolt Strike!"Accompanied by Su Chen's casual whisper, above the dilapidated roof of the abandoned factory, a pitch-black thundercloud condensed without warning.The next second, the violent purple thunder descended from the sky like divine punishment!"Boom! Boom! Boom!"The thick thunder pillars, carrying a tyrannical aura that destroyed everything, accurately and unmistakably struck down onto those six running Black Beasts.There was simply no suspense at all. These monsters, which were extremely tricky in the eyes of beginner mages, didn't even have time to let out screams in front of Su Chen's Advanced thunder.In an instant, they were struck into a few clusters of charred ashes by the terrifying high temperature and lightning power, drifting away with the wind.Instant kill!A complete and utter crushing of strength!The four Grey-robed Priests who were originally arrogant and domineering, at this moment looking at those pools of ashes on the ground that were still smoking cyan smoke, the cruel smiles on their faces instantly froze, replaced by barely concealable fear."One-thought Star Track! Almost a one-thought Star Pattern!""Dammit! The mark is thorny! Quick, retreat!"The four Grey-robed Priests were also decisive. Realizing that the young man in front of them was definitely not an existence they could contend with, they immediately turned around, attempting to activate Shadow Element magic to melt into the darkness and escape."You come when you want, you leave when you want. Do you think this place is a public toilet?"The corner of Su Chen's mouth curled into a cold arc.He didn't even move his footsteps an inch, and a violent cyan storm suddenly erupted around his body."Wind Disk: Heavenly Net!"The gale roared, and under Su Chen's control, the airflow instantly transformed into an invisible giant wind net, directly sealing off all retreat routes inside the factory.Those four Grey-robed Priests whose bodies had just half-melted into the shadows were forcefully yanked out by this violent whirlwind, heavily slamming onto the rubble-filled ground, dizzy and disoriented."You... Who on earth are you?!"Problematic ad?Report it hereYou can disable popup ads by becoming a contributor. Become a contributorCh. 81 / 35223%Ch. 81 / 35223%ReadDisplaySettingsMoreWTR-LAB
