Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 38 Next up is the King Hunter Qualifying Tournament!

"Listen carefully, Mo Fan."

Boom! ! !
The demon Mo Fan, who had been shy just now, listened obediently with his head covered after being punched.

"I've become a demon. Even the commander-level demons can't hit me. Why does your punch hurt so much, Brother Lin?"

"This is a punch that contains the power of Oolong tea. Now is not the time to discuss this with a mere demon. After demonization, you will need a large amount of spirit essence to repay the price of borrowing power. Therefore, your most important task now is to hunt demons and obtain spirit essence. I have temporarily cast a super-level psionic magic on you to calm your mind, but this is just a delaying tactic. You should have formed your own ideas by now."

"Yeah." Mo Fan looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was safe and sound.

"I might need to take a long vacation. Please tell Xinxia not to worry about me."

"Go in peace."

After saying that, Mo Fan leaped into the air in front of everyone's gaze, heading in another direction. That direction was exactly the route that the Pseudo-Lizard Tribe had taken earlier.

“Why not let Mo Fan stay? The military can definitely provide the spirit essence needed for demonization.” Zhan Kong asked in confusion.

I was even more curious about how this young man named Lin Ling knew about the demon system.

"Let me ask you, who is leading the demon-related experiments?"

“It’s the military.”

Zhan Kong was speechless for a moment. Now that he had calmed down, he realized that if Mo Fan followed him back to the military headquarters, he would probably be arrested immediately and imprisoned in the bottomless underground research institute.

Originally, there was no hope for the demon-related experiments to succeed, but now that a successful example is right before their eyes, the military will not let go of this opportunity.

Even though Mo Fan possessed an extremely rare natural talent, to the people above him, this was just a minor problem that was not worth mentioning.

"That. Senior Lin." Mu Nujiao came in front of Lin Ling, and her face suddenly turned red when she thought of the scene just now.

His face twitched when he saw it in front of Lin Ling.

"Jiaojiao, believe me, I'm perfectly normal and don't have any thoughts about homosexuality!"

"Well, I believe Senior Lin," Mu Nujiao said and blushed again.

"Ahhhh! I really am normal!"

Imperial Capital Academy.

Songhe sat in the office, as if waiting for something, and soon a knock on the door broke the silence.

"Please come in."

As the doorknob slowly turned with a slight click, two middle-aged men in military uniforms strode into the office.

"Dean Songhe, you are suspected of assisting the defector Lu Nian and illegally restricting the freedom of others, among other offenses. The Central Military Court hereby summons you. Please come with us."

"Defection? What does that mean?!" Song He's face changed in shock when he heard the word.

Could it be that Lu Nian...!

"Former Western Military Region, Seventh Research Institute Director, Lu Nianjuntong, and ten other military mages disobeyed military orders, secretly taking away research data and precious experimental materials. They left their posts without permission and refused to comply. This constitutes desertion."

"Lu Nian. You!"

Song He never expected that Lu Nian came to meet him that day as a fugitive. At that time, he thought that Lu Nian was asked by the higher-ups to continue the demon experiment.

If he had known Lu Nian's situation, he would never have changed the training location or intercepted Lin Ling. Defection would have meant that Lu Nian would have left no witnesses behind, and the lives of the students at Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Academy would have been in danger!

"Oh no, I have to get to Jinlin City quickly!"

Song He stood up excitedly, but was immediately held down by two military mages.

The same super-class aura rose from the two military mages.

Anyone who can fight against a super-class mage must also be a super-class mage, not to mention the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy.

"Don't worry, Dean Songhe, Mr. Lin Ling has contacted us. Lu Nian has been killed. The other students are safe and are on their way back."

"That's good, that's good"

Song He breathed a sigh of relief. If something really happened, he really could not forgive himself, but now, what he did was no different from those despicable acts.

"Don't hold me, I'll go with you."

The next day, the news that the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy was taken away by the Central Military Court spread in a small circle within the academic circle.

"How foolish, how foolish, Songhe! How could the genius mage of the Dragon Country, once known as Crane Wisdom, have fallen to this state?"

Upon hearing the news, Dean Xiao looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh.

Assisting the defection of the Military Control Commission is a very serious crime, especially since he himself is the president of the Imperial Capital Academy. It will not reduce the impact but will amplify it.

This has threatened the foundation of basic education for mages in Longguo. If this matter were to get out, I am afraid that all schools in Longguo would be greatly affected.

Songhe wanted to come out, but unless the old man asked, he would probably have to stay in there for a while.

"Luckily, we let Lin Ling go. This little guy is really a blessing to Mingzhu Academy. In just less than two years, he's helped the academy overcome invisible dangers time and time again. I'll have to reward him well when he comes back. Speaking of which, it seems that this Hunter King Qualifying Tournament is being held in Dragon Country."

"Is the qualifying round in Jongdo this time? Wasn't it abroad last time?"

A few days after the training ended, in order to prepare for the Hunter King Qualifying Competition, Lin Ling, who had been practicing in the Three-Step Pagoda, was called back to the Qingtian Hunting Station by Lingling.

"The assessments for each Hunter King Qualifying Tournament are different. They basically rotate back and forth among countries recognized by the Hunter Alliance. This year's tournament happens to be held in Dragon Country," Lingling explained.

"Come to think of it, I still don't know how the qualifying round will be held. Is it just a fight between everyone?" Lin Ling scratched his head awkwardly.

Hearing this, Lingling sighed heavily.

Lin Ling is very sensitive in many aspects, and even his thinking speed in solving cases is often faster than hers.

But he is so lazy in some aspects that he is like a maggot. Sometimes, when something is placed in front of him, he is unwilling to pick it up with his empty claws to take a look.

"The Hunting King is not only a symbol of strength. If strength were the only priority, there wouldn't be any need for so many restrictions."

"Restrictions? Can't you become a Seven-Star Hunter Master and then complete some commissions to participate?"

"Of course it's not that simple. You have to know that in each Hunter King Qualifying Tournament, only two people are qualified to become Hunter Kings." Lingling continued to explain.

"To participate in the King Hunter Qualifying Tournament, first, Seven-Star Master Hunters must be under 45 years old; second, they must have completed ten or more monarch-level commissions; and third, they must be recommended by a city-level or higher Hunter Association."

"Only if you meet all three conditions can you participate in the King of Hunters Qualifying Tournament!"

　Because there was a relatively long period of time between Mo Fan's return after his demonization, I will use the Hunter King Tournament to fill this gap. This is also the first time I write a story related to the Hunter King, and I will try my best to make it exciting!
