Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

After the school assembly ended, Mo Xie's phone kept ringing with calls and messages.

After learning about the incident reported by the news media, Tang Yue and Ye Xinxia, ​​who were far away in Hangzhou, immediately called to inquire about his health.

Ding Yumin is a student at the main campus and did not receive a notice to return to school. However, after receiving the news, she called with concern and worry, wishing she could rush back right away.

Whether it was family or friends, they all expressed their concern in some way, which deeply moved Mo Xie.

Even Mu Ningxue, who was far away at the Imperial Capital Academy, was there, but the two only exchanged a few brief words before ending the slightly awkward call.

In the dean's office, Dean Xiao brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Mo Xie.

Mo Xie said thank you, took the teacup, took a small sip, and sighed.

"Grandpa Xiao, this tea must be expensive. You're really generous with such precious tea leaves."

"You little rascal, you came here just for those few cans of tea, didn't you?"

Dean Xiao sat down, pointed at Mo Xie opposite him, and said in an annoyed tone.

"Look at you, when others have such an opportunity to become famous and make a fortune, they would love to stay in front of the camera all day long, but you, you just gave a few interviews and ran away. Didn't you stop me?"

Mo Xie smiled gently, continued to savor the fine tea in her hand, and explained.

"Grandpa Xiao, I don't really like those roundabout ways, they're too troublesome."

Dean Xiao shook his head helplessly, smiling as he looked at the extraordinary young man in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

"Honestly, it's unbelievable that you were able to kill a Scaled Mother Demon of a Great War General all by yourself."

"It was just a fluke."

Mo Xie touched his nose and smiled modestly.

"This is no fluke. It seems your mastery of magic far surpasses that of your peers. You are truly gifted!"

Dean Xiao shook his head, offered a word of praise, and then spoke solemnly and seriously.

"Mo Xie, on behalf of those one hundred students... no, on behalf of Mingzhu Academy, I am very grateful for your contribution last night. If you hadn't stepped forward, the consequences would have been immeasurable!"

Mo Xie paused for a moment, put down his teacup, and said in a serious tone.

"Dean Xiao, I am also a member of Mingzhu Academy, and this is what I should do. It's just... a pity about the few girls who died."

He sighed, realizing that he wasn't a god and couldn't protect everyone.

"This is not your fault. There have been demon plagues in history, with hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of deaths. You are really amazing to have managed to keep the death toll to less than ten."

Then, they discussed the matter of rewards.

"Regarding the rewards, the school has decided to give the three of you some cultivation resources and a chance to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower. As for you... as the main contributor, after careful consideration, we intend to let you choose a treasure that will be the school's most prized possession."

"The school's prized possession?!"

When Mo Xie heard about the cultivation resources and the chance to enter the Three-Step Tower, he was able to accept it. However, when he heard about the school's treasure, he became a little unsettled.

I never expected that defeating a scaly female demon would lead to obtaining a treasured item that is the school's most prized possession. It was truly an unexpected delight.

“Yes, don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s not a big deal now. If we hadn’t killed the Scaled Mother Demon or if no one had discovered it, the consequences would have been unimaginable. So this is what you deserve.”

Dean Xiao nodded and said seriously.

"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony."

Back in the dormitory, I immediately heard Mo Fan complaining.

"You guys actually did something so big behind my back. If I had known, I would have stayed longer and gotten some benefits."

"Of course! You didn't see it. Last night I showed off my skills and defeated those Nuwas one after another." Zhao Manyan described his achievements with great pride and excitement.

To be fair, he was indeed the one who profited the most among the three. Not only did he enhance the reputation of the Zhao family and increase its influence, but he also received cultivation resources as a reward from the Zhao family.

The cultivation resources provided by the school are naturally not as plentiful as those provided by the richest family.

He could already imagine how polite and respectful those family elders would be to him when he got home—it was incredibly satisfying!
"Hey, Moye, you're back! What's the reward the school gave you?"

"Some cultivation resources and one opportunity to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower."

Upon hearing about the Three-Step Tower, Zhao Manyan and Xu Zhaoting immediately cheered with joy. They never expected that they would be able to visit a sacred cultivation site after only one month at school.

In stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere, Mo Fan lay slumped over his desk, his heart filled with remorse.

He certainly knew about the Three-Step Pagoda, after all, he also had a chance to go there to cultivate, but who would complain about not having enough?
……

After lunch, Mo Xie went to select the school's prized possession.

"The treasures of the school are all priceless. Most of them were donated by the old super-level mages to the school as a way of expressing their gratitude to their alma mater."

Dean Xiao walked along, introducing the place with a smile.

"I see. Since it's a treasure left by our predecessors, isn't it a bit inappropriate to just give it to me like this?"

"Haha, the treasures they left behind are meant to be passed down to outstanding descendants, so as to embody the meaning of passing on the torch, which is also the philosophy that our Pearl Academy wants to spread."

Mo Xie nodded in sudden realization, then said jokingly.

"Grandpa Xiao, if I don't want to use this treasure anymore in the future, can I put it back and consider it as continuing the inheritance?"

Dean Xiao was amused by what he heard and shook his head with a smile.

"Of course, you can leave behind a treasure if you wish, as a token of your appreciation."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the Three-Step Pagoda.

Interestingly, they weren't walking along the cultivation corridor, but rather on a previously undiscovered path that led straight to another mysterious space.

Pushing open a heavy, restricted door, Mo Xie was suddenly surprised to find himself in a place filled with numerous bookshelves and antiques, resembling a vast ancient museum, yet even more solemn, and carrying a certain oppressive feeling that made one's breath catch in one's throat.

Those displayed items... actually possessed a certain aura!

After Mo Xie stepped into this place, the Qilin pendant on her chest began to tremble violently, as if it was about to fly out at any moment, as if something was attracting it.

Within this space, there is something that can move even a Qilin!
Upon learning this, Mo Xie was startled and began to observe the unique and unusual secret room.

He looked around and saw a brightly colored feather displayed in a glass case.

Although there is only one feather, it is as large as a feather fan, and you can see the clear texture on it.

The feather in front of him immediately gave Mo Xie a sense of familiarity!

The next second, he felt dizzy and couldn't help but close his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I was surprised to find myself in a dazzling starry sky, which was the Totem Space.

Before he could react, a beam of red light shot out from the starry sky, carrying a heat and warmth, and instantly entered the body of the Vermilion Bird statue.

In an instant, Suzaku's eyes lit up, and then its entire body was covered in red light, as if it had come to life.

Just as Mo Xie was utterly shocked, a deep and ethereal mysterious incantation resounded throughout the space, filled with solemnity.

Even though it was a language he couldn't understand at all, he inexplicably knew what it was saying.
