Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

After a long day, Qin Li stretched his muscles as he walked out of the lab. His research had recently hit a bottleneck.

Based on feedback from several clients, they are very satisfied with the swarm system and are willing to engage in deeper cooperation with Mingzhu Academy.

However, in practice, some minor flaws are inevitable.

"When filming a Commander-level demon, the plane might crash due to its energy fluctuations?" Qin Li retorted, "You know this is a Commander-level one..."

Complaints aside, solutions are still necessary.

For the past month, Qin Li has been trying various materials and magic arrays from this perspective, but he has not been able to make any significant progress.

I wanted to talk to Xu Fang, but he's elusive and I can't even get through to him on the phone.

"Let's eat something first."

Touching his empty stomach, Qin Li decided to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat.

But just then, his phone rang.

"Hello... Dean Xiao!?"

"Meeting? Me?"

"Okay, okay, I understand, I'll go right now."

Qin Li was completely baffled and, forgetting about eating, hurriedly ran towards the school's conference room.

When he arrived, everyone else was already there, and a large group of people were sitting there. Qin Li was greeted with stares as soon as he entered.

Qin Li felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he quickly found Hu Xingyu, whom he knew well, and sat down next to him.

"What's going on?"

Qin Li asked in a low voice. He had just glanced at the personnel in the room and found that the heads of various departments and senior professors were all present.

Sitting in the head seat, isn't that Dean Xiao?

"I'm not so sure either."

Hu Xingyu asked in surprise, "Could it be a meeting to discuss the competition for the top student position at the start of the new semester? No way... We've had so many meetings already, why would we need to make such a big deal out of it? And most importantly, how could we possibly invite a homebody like you to such a high-class meeting?"

"Get lost."

Qin Li rolled his eyes and was about to speak again when Dean Xiao, who was at the head of the table, spoke up.

"Is everyone here? Let's begin our meeting."

The young lecturer, who had been brought in to act as a secretary, rarely participated in such a grand event. He nervously swallowed and pulled up a picture on the big screen.

[Regarding the development of the Sickle Island mineral vein in the South China Sea]

Ore vein?

Everyone was stunned and began whispering among themselves.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I hope you will listen carefully to this meeting and do a good job of the tasks assigned by the school."

Dean Xiao said gently:

"Just yesterday, Dean Fu, who is far away in the South China Sea Battle City, sent me a message that Xu Fang, the chief of our school's Optical Engineering Department, killed one Blue-Clad member of the Black Court, as well as several Black-Clad and Gray-Clad members during his training."

Holy crap, a blue shirt?

Those present were even more shocked. What kind of person was the one in blue?

Back when the Great Purge took place in Shanghai, the Inquisition, the military, and Mingzhu Academy joined forces, using a combination of encirclement and traps. Several high-level mages were dispatched before they finally managed to capture the blue-robed deacon.

Xu Fang was actually able to kill... that's terrifying!

"By the way, during the last major purge, it seems it was also because of Xu Fang..." someone couldn't help but say.

"It's alright, just average, passable. The main thing is that he's exceptionally gifted. Our teachers in the Light Department only play a guiding role."

Hu Xingyu stood up straight, his face displaying a humble expression that subtly concealed his smugness, drawing disdain from the crowd.

Dean Xiao smiled and continued, "During the pursuit of Black Court, Xu Fang discovered their secret and took the opportunity to find a mineral vein on the Kamakura continental shelf!"

According to Dean Fu's appraisal, this mine produces a rare type of bluestone, and both its quantity and quality are exceptionally high!

"Fuck!"

A loud bang startled everyone. It turned out that an old professor from the array department had slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his beard trembling with excitement.

Bluestone?

There are many more?

"Dean Xiao, this mineral vein..."

"Xu Fang has already contacted me, expressing his willingness to donate this mine to the school." Dean Xiao's expression showed both relief and admiration.

Xu Fang told him that he was not capable of developing the mine and was worried that it would be coveted by several major families in the South China Sea, so it would be better to hand it over to the school in exchange for some benefits.

But Dean Xiao knew that this was just a way to reassure the teachers... A single Qingjing Stone vein was enough to drive everyone crazy!

The professors and department heads were also surprised by Xu Fang's choice. Before this, because Xu Fang had been away from the school for a long time, their impression of him was that he was a powerful chief.

Unexpectedly, he is not only incredibly strong, but also so noble and virtuous!

"I propose that our Pearl Academy establish a scholarship to support those commoner mages, and name it after Xu Fang," Dean Xiao said. "This is the respect he deserves."

No one objected.

Dean Xiao nodded and said, "The next topic, which is also the reason I called everyone here today, is how to develop this mineral vein?"

The first to stand up and speak was Professor Qiu Yuhua.

"The azurite is quite valuable, and what's even more remarkable is that this vein is located on the continental shelf, greatly reducing the difficulty of mining. I believe we should immediately acquire ownership of Kamajima and begin development as soon as possible!"

His words were accepted by the vast majority of people, but some hesitated.

"What if the Ocean Alliance retaliates if we do this?" a professor worried. "Kamashima was the first island they developed; what if we get all the benefits..."

"So what if we were the first to develop it! The Huangpu River area was carved out by the old principal and his team back then. Why doesn't anyone say it belongs to our Pearl River Delta?"

"Could this be the same thing?"

"Why not! If you're worried about this and that, you might as well just abandon the mine and give it to the Ocean Alliance for free!"

"You're being unreasonable. That's not what I meant. I was just asking if we needed to collaborate on development..."

The young lecturer huddled pitifully in a corner of the conference room, watching the leaders arguing heatedly, feeling his worldview crumble.

"All right."

Dean Xiao cleared his throat, silencing everyone.

"The mineral vein was discovered by our student Xu Fang, and there is absolutely no reason for anyone else to get a share of it."

Although Dean Xiao's voice was not loud, it was full of authority: "If the Ocean Alliance is not satisfied, I, Xiao, will naturally reason with them. Haifeng, you are in charge of acquiring the island development rights, and you need to be quick about it."

Professor Hai nodded in agreement.

"After the acquisition, Qin Li from the Array Formation Department will be in charge of its development."

Qin Li finally understood why he was being called to this meeting.

Over the next half hour, the group discussed various details, including transportation, security, processing, and sales. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone's face was beaming with smiles.

—Completely unnoticed, they seemed to have forgotten something.

at the same time.

The Colosseum at the Qing Campus.

The hall was noisy, and the students craned their necks in surprise to look around.

Where are the judges?

Chapter 212 Soul Seed: Whale Fall

At Mingzhu University, a turbulent era is unfolding.

As the instigator of all this, Xu Fang stayed in the South China Sea Battle City for more than a month, receiving careful guidance from Dean Fu.

Both the Mind and Sound magic systems rely on mental energy, and Dean Fu, a super-level mage, provided him with invaluable guidance.

At the same time, his number of venomous insects finally experienced a small surge.

The blue-robed butler, Azure Poison Locust, was intimidated by the aura of the Xuan Snake totem in his poison-type magic, and obediently fought and mated.

Xu Fang no longer needs to worry about the aging insect population!

Most importantly, insects are really indiscriminate; they don't care about beauty or ugliness, they only care about whether they can surpass it.

Moreover, perhaps due to the different planes, the insect demons here do not even have reproductive isolation, and every now and then they spray out a bunch of insect eggs like throwing out smoke bombs.

Of course, the biggest beneficiaries were the waterways.

The soul seed he had lured up softened its attitude towards him more and more as he pushed his luck and made sure he wouldn't penetrate too deeply.

Now Xu Fang can directly place his hand on it and play with it, kneading the soul seed into various shapes without causing any rejection.

Since it is a primordial soul seed, the naming rights naturally belong to Xu Fang.

"Let's call it Whale Fall," Xu Fang said.

“Whale Fall?” Dean Fu pondered the name. “A soul seed named with only two characters is quite rare.”

Soul types are usually four characters long, and they often add words like "heaven," "sky," or "ruler" to enhance their imposing presence.

"When a whale falls, all things come to life. This primordial soul seed was found on the skeleton of a sea monster, coexisting with the mineral vein. This name couldn't be more fitting."

Xu Fang laughed.

Dean Fu nodded in realization.

With this explanation, Whale Fall is indeed a nice name; forcing two characters into it would only ruin its beauty.

"But when do you plan to reveal your water element?" Dean Fu laughed. "With this soul seed, you won't be able to hide it from me anymore."

Young people these days are really good at hiding their true nature.

If it weren't for this soul seed, Dean Fu wouldn't have known about Xu Fang's terrifying talent of having two innate elements!

"I'm going back to the university tomorrow to showcase my abilities during Challenge Week."
