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

Chapter 185 Ding Yumin Instantly Kills Mu Tingying

Shanghai, a naval battle stronghold.

A vast black stone plaza stretched out in front of the sea, where groups of two or three mages walked together, accepting quests from various organizations on the quest board.

"Brother Ai, are you free tomorrow? I'm planning to take on a mission to investigate an island. If you join, you can have half the reward."

"Hey, Brother Ai, our hunting party snagged the mission to guard Harbor Number One! It's a lucrative job, wanna come along?"

Ai Jiangtu rubbed the back of his head, his dark face beaming with a simple smile. "I have some things to take care of these few days. I appreciate everyone's kindness, but please be careful while on missions."

Upon hearing this, the two groups of monks did not press the matter further and took their leave.

Ai Jiangtu looked at the Nationalist government assembly message on his phone and took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze.

After six months of training, Ai Jiangtu, under the care of Jiao Weixin Group and the Mu family, demonstrated the self-discipline he had during his time in the military, working tirelessly and growing rapidly in Shanghai.

"I wonder how the others are doing."

Ai Jiangtu smiled and said, "Let's test their strength when we get back. We can't afford to slack off."

……

Ai Jiangtu arrived at the Imperial Academy's Grand Hall and met the three mentors who had arrived earlier, as well as Mu Nujiao, Jiang Shaoxu, Nan Jue, and an unfamiliar face—a beautiful girl with a serene demeanor.

"Are you Nan Jue?"

Ai Jiangtu looked at Nan Jue, whose skin was as white as jade, in surprise, "Where have you been all this time?"

Nan Jue was about to explain.

Mo Fan walked over with Dongfang Lie.

When Dongfang Lie saw Nan Jue, his eyes lit up, and he ran over to her with admiration.

"Senior Nanjue, it's great to see you again!"

Mo Fan rubbed his eyes. "Nan Jue? I almost didn't recognize him."

Nan Jue was helpless.

Why is everyone so surprised by her?

"I studied under Professor Ning Wei for a period of time, and the whitening of my skin was just a byproduct of that period of study."

Immediately, Mu Ningwei attracted everyone's attention.

Especially the girls like Qin Yu'er and Ding Yumin, their eyes were too direct, and their intentions were very obvious.

Fair, jade-like skin is every girl's dream!

Ai Jiangtu rubbed his hands together, eager for a fight. "You, Nan Jue, you promised to go to Shanghai together, but you stood me up. Let's practice later and see how much you've improved."

"Professor Ning Wei, who are these two?"

Mu Ningwei gestured and introduced, "Ding Yumin and Dongfang Lie. These are the students I selected from the defense team. They will be challenging for a spot on the National Government team later."

Mo Fan patted Dongfang Lie on the shoulder, "This is one of my underlings. He'll definitely surprise you later."

When everyone was curious.

Dongfang Lie scurried up to Nan Jue, raised his much-tanned face, and patted his chest to assure him:

"Senior Nanjue, do you remember me? We'll be on the same team soon."

"And Professor Ning Wei, I will definitely seize the opportunity you have given me, and I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Mu Ningwei chuckled softly when she saw Mo Fan's stiff expression:

"Dongfang Lie, if you can be selected for the National Team, I can give you another chance to obtain a Soul Seed before the competition."

Dongfang Lie exclaimed with delight, "Mentor Ning Wei, you are a god!"

Mo Fan gritted his teeth, grabbed Dongfang Lie's shoulder, and shouted, "Traitor! You're the underling I trained!"

Dongfang Lie pushed Mo Fan's hand away, "I'm a big fan of Senior Nan Jue. Who are you? We're not acquainted."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha!"

Not long after, the National Government team completed its assembly.

Mu Ningwei spoke:

"Six months have passed, and I believe you have all made great progress. Today is the day to see the results."

"These two are Ding Yumin and Dongfang Lie, the students I selected to guard the school. They will be challenging you."

"If you lose to them, you will lose your spot on the National Team. Get ready, the challenge begins now."

As soon as Mu Ningwei finished speaking, all eyes turned to Dongfang Lie and Ding Yumin. None of the confident team members showed any sign of worry.

Mu Tingying said arrogantly, "They're just the guard team, all inferior products we eliminated. Even if they manage to break through to the high-level mage level, that's all they'll achieve, just reaching the starting point we had half a year ago."

Why did Mu Tingying jump like that today?

Everyone turned to look.

Although Mu Tingying was arrogant in the past, she knew her own limitations and that she was nothing special in the National Team, so she restrained her arrogance.

Are you finally dropping the pretense today?

Mu Ningwei looked over and saw Mu Tingying staring intently at him, guessing her little scheme.

Mu Tingying wanted to impress him and take this opportunity to challenge the team.

Even if I fail again, at least I made my presence known to him.

The idea is good.

But that's assuming Mu Tingying can actually win.

Mu Ningwei looked at Dongfang Lie and Ding Yumin, "Who wants to challenge first?"

Dongfang Lie was mocked, which fueled his anger. He wanted to stand up for himself, but then he remembered Mo Fan's instructions.

Although Mo Fan usually instigated him to beat up Mu Tingying, this morning he warned him not to challenge Mu Tingying, because the ice-type soul seed was a counter to him, a fire-type mage who only had a spirit seed.

That wretched woman may be stupid, but she does have some ability.

At first, Dongfang Lie didn't understand why Mo Fan was so hostile towards Mu Tingying, but now he completely understood Mo Fan.

"Mentor Ning Wei, I'm here to challenge Mu Tingying."

Ding Yumin smiled gently at Mu Ningwei, stepped onto the stage, and said in a soft and measured voice, "Since you are so confident, Mu Tingying, then come up on stage and give me some pointers."

"Ha, a frog in a well, daring to challenge me."

Mu Tingying scoffed; she genuinely didn't believe the defending team could possibly challenge the National Team.

Mu Tingying stepped onto the ring, sized up Ding Yumin, and said, "Don't cry when I beat you up later."

Ding Yumin smiled in response, "I'll return that sentence to you."

"Ning Wei, are these two students you picked really capable of beating Mu Tingying?"

Feng Li asked curiously.

Mu Ningwei and Qin Yu'er exchanged a look, and Mu Ningwei spoke confidently, "Teacher Feng Li can keep an eye on things."

Feng Li exclaimed in surprise, "When did a high-level mage like Mu Tingying, who possesses a soul seed, become the goalkeeper of the National Team? Anyone could defeat her."

Mu Ningwei: "Ding Yumin wasn't just picked out randomly."

Feng Li said enviously, "How come you always seem to encounter unparalleled geniuses wherever you go?"

Mu Ning smiled and personally stepped onto the stage to act as the referee.

"The match begins!"

Mu Ning was curious about Ding Yumin's current strength.

……

The match ended quickly.

Mu Tingying, filled with ambition and wanting to perform well in front of Mu Ningwei, applied for the opportunity to challenge the first team.

Ding Yumin unleashed a mental interference attack; her spiritual power, reaching the fifth level, completely prevented Mu Tingying from casting any magic.

Then Ding Yumin used mind magic to make Mu Tingying overcome with grief and burst into tears.

Poor Mu Tingying, completely manipulated by Ding Yumin, lay on the ring crying and screaming, so pitiful~

The crowd, who had initially been pessimistic about the team guarding the museum, were shocked.

"Where did Instructor Ning Wei find this prodigy?!"
