Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 41 Compression, Ice Lock

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

That night, Fang Yu practiced magic in front of his house as usual.

however…

Today is different; he is preparing to cast a mid-level spell, Spatial Rhythm.

I've been practicing control for the past six months, and now I've mastered it.

Compression is a pure attack; the immense pressure on space is unstoppable.

With overwhelming force and immense spatial weight, it suppressed the enemy.

At this moment, Fang Yu stood quietly in the open space.

After a short time, the star trails were linked, and the magic was formed.

moment.

Ahead, a giant rock was being suppressed by a powerful and vast spatial force.

The moment the suppression began, it felt as if a continuous mountain range was falling from the sky.

Boom!
A deep, resonant sound rang out, and at first glance, the open space appeared undamaged.

Upon closer inspection, you'll notice that a section of the ground has sunk.

With a loud bang, the boulder shattered into countless fragments, then, due to the excessive force, fell into the crater.

After a while.

Fang Yu withdrew his spatial magic.

Looking ahead.

The ground collapsed, leaving a scene of utter devastation.

But he did not stop.

The star trails reappeared, and the brilliance shone once more.

However, this time it's ice magic.

A few moments.

The power of the cold elements surged forth.

The area became bitterly cold.

Suddenly the ground cracked open, and two incredibly thick chains of ice burst forth from the earth. They danced and swayed, producing a metallic clang whenever they collided.

Clang, clang!!!

The icy chains intertwined endlessly, their long bodies capable of binding the massive ancient tree to the side in several layers.

It didn't take long.

The ancient tree was completely wrapped in chains, like an ice-locked mummy, with icy power surging in!
And so, the enormous ancient tree froze into an ice sculpture.

Meanwhile, the other ends of all the chains slowly rose from the ground and were being held by Fang Yu.

As the snowflakes danced in the air, his hair fluttered in the wind, and Fang Yu, who controlled the powerful ice lock, exuded an aloof and arrogant aura.

soon.

When the ice lock dissipates.

Fang Yu watched this scene and smiled.

Compression and Ice Lock combine both lethality and control.

The magic was more powerful than he had imagined.

Now he only says one thing to his peers:
Who else?
However, one must not become arrogant; one must remain calm and composed.

After tidying up the courtyard, Fang Yu fell into deep thought.

just now.

Having mastered the basics of intermediate-level magic, the next step is to focus on earning money.

He aims to acquire enough funds within six months to purchase an ice-type spirit seed, thereby elevating his magic to a higher level.

What's the fastest way to make money?

Without a doubt, it's about hunting down demons!

Hunting demons is very difficult without intermediate-level magic.

However, now there is that powerful ice lock freezing, and the unsolvable gravity compression.

What demons and monsters? They can all be turned into money and put into your own pocket! Killing demons and monsters, cultivating and making money at the same time, why not?

……

Having made his decision, and after spending some time, Fang Yu went directly to the Hunter Alliance in Shanghai.

The Hunter Alliance is also located in the area around the Oriental Pearl Tower. The major forces have basically occupied a giant building in the Lujiazui area of ​​Shanghai, much like a few graceful women who pose and compete for people's attention every day.

Upon arriving at the Hunter Alliance building, Fang Yu took the elevator to the fiftieth floor.

The Hunter Alliance lobby occupies almost the entire floor, with fifteen elevators leading to it, resulting in a massive flow of people.

The Hunter's Alliance Hall was surrounded by screens displaying scrolling text that showed different bounties from all over the country to the hunter mages in the hall.

It can be said that the Hunter Alliance Building in Shanghai has the most comprehensive and extensive information collection in the country. Many bounties from abroad are even posted in this Shanghai Hunter Alliance Building, allowing hunters to find the most suitable bounties and commissions according to their needs.

……

Ideally, the best scenario would be to hunt monsters in the city.

However, he was unable to join the city's monster-hunting team because he did not meet the standards for elite hunters.

The task data submitted in Bocheng was only enough to reach the intermediate hunter level, with a contribution value of only about 5,000, which is far from the 10,000 standard for elite demon hunters.

This path doesn't work.

As for joining a private hunting firm, he already has a target in mind, but now is not the time.

Therefore, the only available area is the wild.

Next.

Fang Yu looked at the scrolling display screen, searching for a suitable task.

Intermediate Quest: Slay the Black-striped Cat.

Requirements Description: Recently, an organized and large-scale black-striped cat theft team has emerged in the PD area...

Inside the mission hall, Fang Yu stood in front of the mission board with a puzzled look on his face.

Organized? These black-striped cats are interesting.
Well, considering that some demons are quite intelligent, it's quite possible that they are organized.

What did you steal? Seafood, cat food... then it's alright.

Intermediate task: Practice match.

Requirements: A mid-tier level 1 or higher wind mage is needed as a sparring partner...

The reward for this mission is decent... but unfortunately he doesn't have wind element, so he'll pass.

Intermediate mission: Wilderness escort.

Intermediate task: Capture a live capybara.

Intermediate Quest: Eliminate the Earth Rats...

Fang Yu carefully studied the dozens of tasks listed.

There are many tasks, but it seems that few are suitable for me.

Most of the tasks here are for people who want to hire magicians as temporary workers at a low price.

For example, the task of capturing a live capybara was commissioned by a restaurant and issued by the Hunter Alliance.

Capybaras are considered both monsters and popular delicacies on the dining table.

It's more cost-effective to acquire live capybaras here on a commission basis than to buy them directly from farms.

The only drawback might be that it's a bit slow, but this is obviously not a time-limited, urgent task; the goal is to achieve long-term results.

Catching a swimming capybara is actually quite troublesome, as these creatures are very agile and fast in the water.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't swim and hadn't mastered water-based abilities, plus the fact that capybaras normally dive to the bottom of the river, making this mission somewhat difficult for someone with mastery of ice and space-based abilities, Fang Yu might have chosen this mission.

"Actually, this task of eliminating the earth rats is also acceptable..."

Since he couldn't swim, Fang Yu looked at another task.

Earth Rats are also low-level creatures in the demon realm. Their racial demonic skill is earth escape, and they are good at escaping underground. In terms of combat strength, servant-level Earth Rats are very fragile and can be dealt with by a level 1 beginner.

However, the troublesome thing about these creatures is that they reproduce too quickly, are huge in number, move agilely, and often cooperate as a team when they encounter danger. Their threat level cannot be judged by their normal growth level.

Fortunately, unless they encounter a desperate situation, their first choice when encountering other creatures is always to flee. Otherwise, the impact would certainly be much greater.

Even so, this creature is considered a scourge; it is active, indiscriminate in its hunger, rampant in its search for food.

Not only do they steal grain and damage crops, their earth-遁妖技 (earth-遁妖技, a type of magical ability) can also destroy buildings.
