Full-Time Magister: One System, One Forbidden Spell, the Strongest Divine Gift

Chapter 25 A Community of Shared Destiny, Speedrunning the Beast Fighting Tournament

"Are you also a freshman this year?"

Chen Yuan spoke casually, but his gaze secretly locked onto the girl in the white dress in front of him.

A gentle breeze rippled across the lake, causing the girl's skirt to flutter lightly. Despite the serene and picturesque scene, a chill inexplicably ran down Chen Yuan's spine.

Danger!

This is an instinct he honed through life-and-death experiences.

Just like the feeling of dread when I was targeted by hundreds of warrior-level demons in the ruins of Bo City.

Upon hearing this, the girl turned around, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Sunlight filtered through her hair, casting dappled shadows on her fair face, but it couldn't penetrate her deep, dark eyes.

"I guess so," she replied softly.

"My name is Chen Yuan."

His voice was steady, but his gaze never left the girl.

With his current strength, even a high-level mage would find it difficult to harm him in the slightest. However, the mere existence of this girl sitting quietly by the lake made his magical energy involuntarily tense.

The sense of oppression was very faint.

Like the thin mist floating on the lake in early spring, it seems harmless, but it can lower the temperature of the entire lake.

"My name is Ding Yumian."

The girl responded softly.

The moment that name slipped from her lips, the emotions around her seemed to be stirred, and even if it was only for a moment, Chen Yuan still felt relaxed.

As she stood up, the hem of her white skirt swept across the grass without disturbing a single blade of grass.

This feeling only gradually faded away when her figure completely disappeared at the end of the tree-lined path.

"Ding Yumin," Chen Yuan murmured.

It really was her, a victim of the mental health department.

Even if one deliberately suppresses their cultivation and doesn't practice much, their mental strength is absolutely formidable. A mid-level mage's mental strength is at least at the fourth level or higher.

A single thought is enough to make a mage of the same rank commit suicide.

The victims were truly terrifying!
"Coo coo!" Chi Xiao blinked, as if trying to express something.

"I'm fine." Chen Yuan extended a finger and gently stroked Chi Xiao's head. He looked in the direction Ding Yumin had left, a dark glint flashing in his eyes:
"I didn't expect that you weren't entirely useless except for eating, sleeping, and bullying your little sister. At least you did a good job this time."

As for why Chen Yuan said that?
[Ding, it has been detected that you are being suppressed by the victims. Given that you will cultivate your spiritual power to the divine realm in the future, achieving divine soul cultivation, unifying all laws, and forging your own unique path, we are synchronizing with you.]

[Synchronizing exclusive talent: Shared Destiny]

[Effect: Immune to all mental attacks; increases mental power cultivation speed by 50%]

"."

Seeing the familiar black text pop up again, Chen Yuan had forcibly suppressed his emotions, but he still couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Ding Yumin by chance, and she gave me such a big surprise!
A community with a shared future.

We truly are a community with a shared future!

The concept of a community of shared destiny is not as simple as it seems on the surface. As the name suggests, if you encounter a victim and kill them, you can plunder their talents!

Furthermore, it will not affect you in any way, and there are absolutely no side effects!

"Big cities are great! You can encounter unexpected opportunities every few steps." Chen Yuan hummed a little tune, feeling quite cheerful, thanks to the support of his shared destiny.

His speed of improving his mental strength has become even faster! Now in the mid-stage of the third realm, he is confident that he can cultivate his mental strength to the peak of the third realm, or even the fourth realm, before the start of the school year!
Upon returning home, Chen Yuan greeted his younger sister and Xin Xia as usual before heading to his room.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Meanwhile, the Mingzhu Academy was also unusually lively.

The Qingdou Hall was already packed with people. The newly enrolled students were extremely excited, and some of them were even rubbing their hands together, ready to show off their skills.

The annual Beast Fighting Tournament is a must-see event at Mingzhu Academy.

The "beast" that they were fighting was naturally the summoned beast of those summoning students.

Prior to this, they had already collected information about the summoning students.

"There are only three summoning students in this year's class. One of them is named Zhang Tao, whose summoned beast is a stone giant, and the other is named Li Yan."
That guy's summoned beast is a lava giant.

"As for the last person..."

"."

The voice was intermittent, but Dongfang Lie, sitting in the center, remained calm, his tone disdainful: "The summoning students are getting worse with each passing year."
This year they only admitted three people; most of them are nobodies, it's pointless.

"Of course, you don't need to come. Even I can easily handle those three summoners." Dongfang Ming chuckled from the side.

With their talent, they are destined to shine brightly today and be the center of attention.

"However, I heard that there is a guy named Chen Yuan who has already cultivated to the intermediate level. I estimate that this guy is quite troublesome. I have asked around for so long, but I still haven't found out what his summoned beast is."

Dongfang Lie spoke.

"Chen Yuan?" Dongfang Ming seemed to be thinking.

Before he could speak, Dean Xiao on the high platform began his speech, "Before the Beast Fighting Tournament begins, I need to confirm one thing with you again."

"If you are magicians who come here for high salaries and a high-quality life, then I must tell you with certainty that you have come to the wrong place."

“A magician who comes out of Pearl Academy must have the ability to change the world. If any of you are the former, then I can give you a graduation certificate and a letter of introduction right now, so that you can live such a life.”

"Wealth and fame are not lacking for us; what we lack is an eternal heart that pursues the highest magic!"

Chen Yuan was backstage, not far from where Dean Xiao was speaking.

He glanced indifferently at the crowd sitting in the audience, and quickly lost interest.

No challenge at all.

"Today is the day for you to show your abilities. First, please welcome our three main characters, the new students of the Summoning Department!"

Dean Xiao didn't say much, but decisively got to today's topic.

Backstage, Department Head Jiang Yunming looked at Chen Yuan and the other two, his eyes revealing no disappointment, but rather a strong fighting spirit!

After such bad luck, it's time for the summoners to finally get their revenge!

"Which of you three will go first? Or should we draw lots?" Department Head Jiang Yunming looked around.

"I'll go first."

Chen Yuan stepped forward, not intending to engage in any of the usual formalities.

"Alright! Then it's you, Chen Yuan!"

Jiang Yunming patted him on the shoulder; he was also very curious about what Chen Yuan's summoned beast was.

"Okay, I'll just go up and take a stroll." Chen Yuan nodded.
