Full-Time Magister: All-Element Mutant Star Child

After buying the plane ticket, Lingling worked on the computer for a bit, then looked up at Dongfang Yang in surprise.

"Dongfang Yang, a member of the Dongfang family, possesses a mutated fire-type star seed, is a mid-level fire-type mage, a beginner-level light-type mage, and has a fire-type spirit seed."

"You're a mid-level mage, and you even have light magic. No wonder you're confident in dealing with the Throat-Sealing Horned Demon. Light magic is very effective against busy magic. With light magic, dealing with the Throat-Sealing Horned Demon shouldn't be difficult for you."

Dongfang Yang nodded.

It's obvious that Lingling checked Dongfang Yang's information after buying the plane ticket. With Dongfang Yang's ID card, it's easy to check Dongfang Yang's identity, and it's also easy to find Dongfang Yang's public information.

He then continued operating the computer: "I'll register your hunter identity. In a bit, go to the Hunter's Alliance to collect your hunter badge."

Suddenly, Lingling looked at Dongfang Yang in shock: "You've reached the intermediate level in just one year of cultivation!"

……

After returning to his apartment in the school district, Dongfang Yang made a phone call to Dongfang Zhan.

"I've joined the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds, teamed up with Lingling, and we'll be going to the ancient capital to do bounty hunting in a couple of days."

"Yes, I'll be careful."

……

The ancient capital was surrounded by bare ground within a radius of 100 kilometers, a landscape that was barren and colorless.

The dead sleep beneath the soil here. At night, the dead emerge from the soil and rush toward the ancient capital. At daytime, the dead burrow back into the soil.

The soil was constantly being turned over, the aura of death from the undead permeated the air, and the magic bombardment from the mages left almost nothing growing here.

The ancient capital had two urban areas, an inner and an outer one, which were separated by the ancient city wall.

The area within the ancient city walls is considered the inner city, the city center. Outside the city walls lie other areas such as the Wild Goose Pagoda and the Forest of Steles. The inner city walls are primarily used for sightseeing and tourism…

Outside the outer city, there is another ring of city walls protecting the city. This is the outer city wall, which is about five times the size of the inner city wall. It is twenty or thirty meters high and three or four meters wide. Teams of mages stand guard and patrol on the city wall.

This outer city wall is not an ancient building; it was constructed by modern mages using magic and served as a defensive line for the ancient capital against the undead.

Although the time of the ancient king's revival has not yet arrived, the spirits of the dead have always existed, and the outer city wall needs to remain.

The mages can't just let the undead re-enter the outer city and fight them there, as that would easily damage the buildings and injure ordinary people.

When Dongfang Yang and Lingling arrived in the ancient capital by taxi after leaving Xianyang Airport, they also saw this outer city wall.

Dongfang Yang murmured to himself, "Now we have an outer city wall. That makes sense; mages can't let the undead re-enter the outer city. But this outer city wall probably isn't as wide as the one in the original story of the Ancient King."

After entering the ancient capital, Dongfang Yang and Lingling found a hotel and rented two single rooms for a month.

After renting the room, Lingling said to Dongfang Yang, "I'll check if there's any information about the Throat-Sealing Demon later, and also check some of the bounties in this ancient capital."

"The Throat-Sealing Horned Ghost isn't easy to find. We're lucky if we can complete the commission within a month. We can complete this commission while we're looking for the Throat-Sealing Horned Ghost."

Dongfang Yang nodded: "Okay, you can choose which bounties to accept, try to accept those that don't take much time."

"Tonight, let's go to the outer city wall to watch the battle between the mages and the undead, and prepare ourselves mentally."

"Understood," Lingling replied.

……

In the evening, after having dinner, Dongfang Yang and Lingling arrived at a tower on the outer city wall.

A mage guarding the area addressed Dongfang Yang and his companion, saying, "You two, please leave. This is not a place for ordinary people like you."

Clearly, in Master Wei's eyes, Dongfang Yang and Lingling were too young. Dongfang Yang might be a beginner mage, but Lingling definitely hadn't awakened her magic yet.

When she was stopped, Lingling simply took out her Hunter Master Badge and put it on.

Master Wei's eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed, "Master Hunter!"

Dongfang Yang didn't take his hunter badge. He had just registered as a hunter, so there was no point in taking out the lowest-level hunter badge.

Dongfang Yang took out his school badge and put it on.

Every university has its own school badge, and different departments use different colored badges to indicate the students' department. The bright stripes on the badge often represent the level of the mage.

Similarly, in addition to the mage badges in academies, the Magic Association, the Hunter's Alliance, and the military also have corresponding badges of identity. Whether completing a mission or placing a bounty, teamwork is very important. In order to distinguish ranks and factions at a glance, most mages wear their mage badges on their chests.

Dongfang Yang's badge is shaped like a fire symbol, representing that Dongfang Yang is a mid-level fire mage. The single mark in the middle represents Dongfang Yang's second-level fire nebula, which means he is a second-level mid-level fire mage.

"Intermediate-level mage!"

Master Wei was surprised again, but with the hunter master Lingling ahead of him, there was not much to be surprised about Dongfang Yang, the young mid-level mage.

Dongfang Yang asked, "Are we able to go up now?"

"That's fine." This time, Master Wei did not stop him.

Upon arriving at the city wall, Dongfang Yang and Lingling saw that there were already quite a few mages on the wall, including guard mages, school students, hunters... all kinds of mages.

Dongfang Yang and Lingling attracted a few glances because of their youth, but no one came close to talk to them.

At this moment, no one wanted to be distracted by what others were doing; everyone was preparing for the upcoming undead invasion.

The past two days have been sunny and clear, with hardly a cloud in the sky even at night. The bright moonlight and the glittering starlight fall upon the curved land.

A cool breeze blew in from afar, carrying the smell of rotting earth, which the guards called the smell of death.

Dongfang Yang saw some dark shadows moving on the ground in the distance, and he saw the ground writhing. What was breaking out of the soil were not plants, but skeletons or rotting corpses.

"Ugh!!!! Ugh!!!!!!!!!"

"Roar!! Roar!!!!!!"

Soon the undead started running towards the ancient capital; they had smelled the scent of the living!

The undead are very fast. Whether they are skeletons or corpses, as long as they have two legs, their speed is not as slow as in zombie movies. Without using movement magic or magical artifacts, even a mage running at full speed will be easily caught by them...

Moreover, they have amazing jumping ability, leaping up to ten meters in a single bound, something even slave-level corpses can do.

These spirits didn't run slowly, shuffling along, dragging their feet; they ran and leaped like wild beasts!

The undead weren't very densely packed, but at a glance, Dongfang Yang could tell that there were several thousand undead rushing towards the city wall in this direction.

While the number may seem large, their distribution outside the city walls in the direction of the ancient capital appears quite sparse.
