Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

A scream suddenly erupted from the baboon troop, and the remaining baboons witnessed the most terrifying scene of their lives.

—A burly wind baboon was rolling and struggling desperately, with a parasitic vine growing wildly on its body, sucking its nutrients!

"Oh my God!"

Jiang Shaoxu covered her mouth.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that this was the kind of spectacle a beginner-level spell should have!

"Tsk, another legion-style skill." Xu Fang sighed from the side.

It seems that becoming a military mages was my destiny.

Including El Niño, swarms of insects, the Replication Technique, Frost Wind, the Alligator Jug, Will-o'-the-Wisp, and sonic magic, he could single-handedly assemble a deadly legion that integrates searching, attacking, controlling, and logistics!

He's a true one-man army, born to be surrounded!

The destructive power of the plant system far exceeded Xu Fang's imagination.

Perhaps due to his superior control, Xu Fang remained in control even after the group of wind baboons were drained of their life force.

If a true beginner mage were to come, he probably wouldn't be able to control the three vines at most and would suffer a terrible backlash!

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.

Xu Fang said, "The power of the initial-level magic is still too weak. We need to advance to the intermediate level as soon as possible and then absorb a suitable plant species!"

Influenced by the Divine Tree of the Purple Crown, its own plant system has an absurdly high starting point.

This is like comparing a hunting dog pup to a tiger cub. The hunting dog has limited talent, and even with training, it can only reach the level of a wolf at most.

Unlike a tiger, even a couch potato can easily tear the Hound King to shreds.

Not to mention, Xu Fang is willing to allocate resources to this tiger. As a super-level mage, he doesn't believe he can't raise an extremely powerful magic user!

······

Xu Fang did not stay in the Qinling Mountains for too long. He spent some time with Jiang Shaoxu and talked about his recent trip to Yantai.

Jiang Shaoxu was very interested in Yue'ehuang and said he wanted to visit her at Fanxue Mountain.

Xu Fang did not go with them and returned to Jinlin City.

Construction in Jinlin City has entered its peak period. Dust billows, hammering sounds are constant, and the clanging of unloading creates a bustling and vibrant atmosphere.

A construction company with all its employees being mages is truly something else; their work efficiency is exceptionally high.

Similar to a foundation, it can be completed in the time it takes to smoke a cigarette with a few spells.

The same applies to buildings; after the steel frame is constructed, the rest is filled in using earth magic.

The remaining scraps are easy to handle; a basic ground wave can transport them away.

It's no wonder that mages are highly respected. Indeed, once they awaken magic, even the most useless mage has an advantage that ordinary people can hardly overcome.

"Commander Xu!"

"Military Intelligence Bureau!"

When Xu Fang arrived, he saw many military magistrates in uniform on duty. When they saw Xu Fang, they stood up straight and gave him a standard military salute.

Xu Fang returned the greeting, glanced around, and immediately a quick-witted person said, "Are you looking for the municipal building? I'll take you there."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The military strategist was about the same age as Xu Fang and was very talkative. He led the way and introduced the surroundings to Xu Fang.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Xu Fang was just visiting.

The municipal building stands on the original site of the old municipal building and was among the first batch of projects built. It looks very grand and imposing from the outside.

It was just that there was still some empty space inside; most of the offices had their doors closed, and you could see the empty interior through the glass doors.

Xu Fang went all the way to the top floor, to the largest room.

"Wow." Xu Fang looked around the large office, which was at least over 100 square meters.

The first thing you see is a huge bookshelf, filled to the brim with books on magic, management, economics, and other related subjects.

On the wall directly opposite the bookshelf is a huge map, an enlarged version of the one Xu Fang used to deceive people.

The office has a large floor-to-ceiling window and a small bedroom for resting.

Xu Fang sat down on the large desk, feeling a sense of comfort as if his whole body was sinking into it.

The desk in front of him was large enough for two or three people to lie down and sleep on, with two landline phones, one black and one red, on it.

"This document is the list of military magistrates who have been transferred. You must meet with officers and above in person."

Zhan Kong's voice rang out at the door. He tossed a blue folder toward Xu Fang and sat down on the small sofa.

Xu Fang said solemnly, "When you kill the Air Force Commander, remember to knock on the door and report when you enter your superior's office."

“You’ve got some nerve now. Even your dad wouldn’t dare talk to me like this back in the day.”

Zhan Kong grumbled, "You just walked away, fine, now all the work is on me, is that fair?"

"Well, it's all about serving the people, so it doesn't matter who does it."

Xu Fang decisively skipped the topic, opened the folder, and his eyes were instantly drawn to a name.

"Nie Lengshan?"

Chapter 405 Trying to snatch meat from my hands?

"I'd like to ask you the same thing: how did you manage to recruit Nie Lengshan?"

Zhan Kong was completely baffled.

Nie Lengshan is Yantai's ace, a top-tier high-level mage.

His sonic magic is among the best in the country, and his effectiveness in legion battles is no less than that of a super-level destruction mage.

One-on-one combat is even more insane; with Zhan Kong's current strength, he probably wouldn't last ten rounds against Nie Lengshan.

Even if such a talented person leaves Yantai and the military, many powerful families will still try to recruit him.

Who would have thought he would actually come to Jinlin City!?

—He wasn't even a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau; he became an officer alongside other mid-level mages!

"You said you were going to Yantai before, was it to poach people?"

"No, it has nothing to do with me."

Xu Fang denied it, saying that he was focused on tricking the reclusive Lü Yi into coming to Jinlin City, and had no time to pay attention to Nie Lengshan, an NPC who should have been dead.

Where is he now?

“Outside Anjie, a magic high school will be coming to the wilderness for training in a couple of days. He will lead the team to clear out the excess demons,” Zhan Kong said.

Generally speaking, the security of a city is protected by natural barriers and human-made rest stops.

For example, Bocheng relies on Xuefeng Mountain as a barrier, with the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station perched precariously in a narrow passage between the two mountains.

More advanced methods utilize various large-scale formations to manipulate natural forces such as flowing water, strong winds, and flames to create protective barriers.

Jinlin City is more advanced than the previous two, with the Earth Core far ahead, and even monarch-level demons are not afraid of it.

However, the scope of the Earth's Core is ultimately limited, and people in the city also need external resources to maintain the operation of society.

Therefore, outside the Earth Core Barrier, Jinlin City also has a military mage station equipped with advanced bombs, bee swarms, and dolphins.

Usually, not many foolish demons come here to seek their death, and everyone lives in peace.

But not now. These cute high school students are coming here for training, and even a random servant-level demon could wipe them out!

"One kilometer to the left front, three."

In a dense forest, Nie Lengshan used sound magic to sense the presence of demons.

These demons' clumsy concealment skills were completely exposed in the face of Nie Lengshan's sound magic, and they were all caught by the military mages!

He is a hardworking and honest man, a true "I am a brick, I will go wherever I am needed" kind of person.

Even though he was demoted and assigned to jobs usually reserved for mid-ranking officers, he still did them very diligently.

"Three kilometers to the right front... Hmm? Why are there so many demons?" Nie Lengshan frowned.

He could clearly sense the sound magic; a large group of demons had gathered together for some unknown reason, numbering about a hundred!

The scouts quickly brought back the news.

"It's Zhang Juntong! He's attracted all the demons together!"

"The demons have stepped into the bomb zone! These little devil cubs have been blown to bits, hahaha!"

"Truly worthy of being called Commander Zhang! I heard that back in the Qinling Mountains, he once led a team to wipe out a demon clan!"

"I'm a wind mage just like everyone else, but they can toy with me like a dog!"

The military mages exclaimed in admiration.

In the military, the fastest way to gain sufficient respect is through strength.

Although Zhang Xiaohou was young and looked rather immature, his wind magic, which allowed him to leave no trace in the snow, quickly won over the newly transferred soldiers.

"The commander of the air force is also very strong. You didn't see it last time, but the aura of the funeral of Yan that day was absolutely amazing!"

"Yes, yes, I went that time too. Even from that distance, I could feel the heat wave hitting my face!"

"The most powerful one has to be our Commander Xu! Did you see the National Games? Our Commander Xu crushed geniuses from all over the world, and high-level mages were all brought to their knees!"

"It's just between students..."

"Bullshit! Did you even watch the match replay? If we were in that kind of battle, whether we'd survive is another matter entirely!"

"Putting everything else aside, do you know about the large artificial lake next to People's Square in the city?"

"I know."

"Commander Xu used magic to create it. It's said that he fought a commander-level demon and blasted a huge crater in the ground!"

Everyone was in awe.

Everyone knew how big and deep the artificial lake was.
