Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 166 Athena: You're thinking about my rudeness

Jiang Shaoxu looked at Mu Ningwei in surprise, "You were looking for me?"

Mu Ningwei nodded. "Come with me for a walk. You seem distracted and down lately; have you not gotten over what happened?"

Jiang Shaoxu lowered her eyes, following behind Mu Ningwei with a sullen expression.

"I still can't believe that my brother would die so inexplicably. He was such a genius, and he even promised to take me to see the beautiful scenery of the world when I grew up..."

"But Baxia told me that the totem beast my brother was looking for, the Feathered Deer, had long ago perished in the mouth of a powerful demon emperor."

"My brother was only a high-level mage at the time, and he went to such a dangerous place and has not returned to this day... The outcome is obvious."

Previously, Jiang Shaoxu could still deceive himself and hold onto a sliver of hope that Jiang Shaojun was still alive.

But upon hearing Baxia's words, Jiang Shaoxu couldn't even deceive himself.

Mu Ningwei sighed softly, "I thought that with your personality, you would be able to get over the pain quickly. I was just being naive. After all, it's the pain of losing a loved one; it's not that easy to get over."

"This is the light-elemental resource I promised you last time."

Mu Ningwei handed over a bottle of pure white, glowing liquid.

This is certainly not some fluorescent yogurt, but the blood of the God of Light.

Mu Ningwei wanted to test how much divine blood could help a mage's cultivation.

Jiang Shaoxu suppressed her sorrow, tossed her hair aside, and smiled as she accepted the pure white divine blood:

"Thank you for your concern, Professor Ning Wei."

"By the way, Instructor Ning Wei, you're sure you'll be able to break through the forbidden spell in the future, right?"

Mu Ningwei nodded. "It's only a matter of time before I'm close to using forbidden spells."

Jiang Shaoxu rubbed her fingertips against the pure white divine blood, a bold and crazy idea forming in her mind. After a slight hesitation, she gazed up at Mu Ningwei:

"Then—would you be interested in hunting a Light-type Emperor in the future? The treasures it drops can definitely be crafted into magical tools that will be helpful to you."

Mu Ningwei raised an eyebrow. "You mean, the emperor who killed the Feathered Deer was of the Light element?"

"That's what Baxia said."

Jiang Shaoxu lowered her head with some guilt, biting her lip, "I want to use your power to avenge my brother..."

Mu Ning felt a sense of relief, as if a glimmer of hope had appeared after a period of darkness.

He hadn't even questioned the Black Dragon Emperor yet; he only wanted to comfort Jiang Shaoxu, but he learned about a Light-type Emperor from her.

"I will make that emperor my hunting target."

Jiang Shaoxu felt a mix of emotions upon hearing Mu Ningwei's response.

Although this was the answer she wanted, Mu Ningwei's cultivation of her was flawless.

It can be said that the debt of gratitude is as heavy as a mountain.

What if something bad happens to Mu Ningwei if he is led to challenge the emperor?

Jiang Shaoxu's eyes were filled with worry. "Professor Ning Wei, you must make thorough preparations. If needed, I can try to find you a helper."

"My grandfather is a forbidden spellcaster. However, he has the duty to oversee the demon empire and cannot leave."

"But if I ask my grandfather for help, he should be able to secretly follow me and help you without any problem."

Mu Ningwei chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure about."

"Alright, I promise to help you get revenge. Cheer up. I'm still waiting for you to shine in the Venus Tournament."

"Yes, Professor Ning Wei!"

"I'm leaving now."

"Goodbye, Professor Ning Wei."

Jiang Shaoxu watched Mu Ningwei's retreating figure and sighed with genuine emotion:

"He is such a gentle person."

……

Mu Ningwei collected the faiths of the capital city, the magic city, Hangzhou, and the ancient capital before returning to his residence in the capital city.

Today, Mu Ningwei's deeds are known throughout the country and even the world.

In reality, Mu Ningwei was constantly collecting shallow faith power while traveling the world with his team.

However, this power of faith is simply insufficient compared to the four cities in China that have reached cooperation agreements with the government.

The four cities frequently publicized Mu Ningwei's deeds, making him a household name.

With a combined population of fifty to sixty million, they generate a tremendous amount of faith power.

Mu Ningwei opened the gates of heaven and went to the sacred plane.

Beneath the stars and the sun, above the endless ocean of faith, Athena sat serenely on the lakeside beneath the moon, her two beautiful white feet immersed in the liquid of the moonlight.

"Sister Athena."

Athena chuckled and turned around. "You've come to see me. Shall we soak our feet together?"

Mu Ning readily agreed, sat down beside Athena, and on a whim removed his shoes and socks, soaking his feet in the waters of Moon Lake before beginning to tell stories of the human world.

Athena smiled, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Mu Ningwei, listening attentively and nodding occasionally.

Mu Ningwei asked curiously, "Where's the unicorn?"

This time, the unicorn didn't come to listen to the story.

Athena chuckled, "There is the aura of a light-attribute dragon on your soul."

"Unicorns are a very possessive species, and they want only themselves around the people they acknowledge. Your actions have made it jealous, and it's probably sulking."

Mu Ningwei was both amused and exasperated. "Never mind then. Sister Athena, I'd like to ask if you have any methods to accelerate the cultivation of the Blessing system."

"I plan to major in Blessing."

Athena's eyes curved slightly. "I'm very happy that you value the Blessing System so much."

"I have a blessing-based technique. The more positive faith you accumulate, the faster your cultivation speed will be. I can even consume faith to directly increase your cultivation level."

"But it's best to cultivate step by step on your own. You also need faith to upgrade the Light-type Heavenly Seed into a Divine Power Seed, and both of these methods conflict with your current path."

Mu Ningwei nodded, "The Blessing type is indeed very strong, but it can't stand alone. The Light type can't be neglected either."

Athena: "You also mentioned hunting ice-type emperors in the human world and having those around you absorb the emperor's core to greatly increase their cultivation."

"I suggest you first cultivate the Light element, and after you master the forbidden spell, then you can cultivate the Blessing element."

"My Blessing spell was the second spellcaster to break through the forbidden spell."

Mu Ningwei felt his mind was clear:

"Thank you, Sister Athena, for guiding me on this path."

Athena smiled gently, "You recognize the power of the Blessing system, so it's perfectly understandable that you want to major in it."

"But the human realm has the most resources of light, and the broad road to success is right in front of us. We must learn to take shortcuts."

"As the previous owner of the Time-Space Divine Eye, I have information about most of the emperors in the human world."

"For an emperor, information from hundreds of years ago is not outdated. Let me tell you the clues about the Emperor of the Human Light System."

Mu Ningwei was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Sister Athena."

Indeed, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

As a young person in your twenties, you should not be ashamed to ask questions when you encounter problems, and seek advice from experienced elders!

No wonder she's a centuries-old homebody; she must have been using her time-space vision to spy on emperors' privacy all the time. She perfectly fits the stereotype of a homebody!

Athena tilted her head and squinted her eyes:

"Ning Wei, I sense you're thinking something rude."

Mu Ningwei looked innocent. "Sister Athena, I didn't."

Athena snorted, raised her finger, and tapped Mu Ningwei's forehead hard. "Don't underestimate a woman's intuition."

pat-

A crisp sound came from Mu Ningwei's forehead.

It hurts!

Why is he in so much pain even though he's a spirit?

Mu Ningwei covered her forehead and gasped, because she was so close to Athena that she was inhaling her holy aura.

Seeing Athena's feigned unhappiness.

Mu Ningwei decided that in the future, she would try her best not to criticize the age of a certain older, stingy, and reclusive woman.

At least not before becoming the Middle Emperor.
