Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 32 My Sister's Determination

"Xiao Yu, you did a good job in this inter-university exchange. You should show the spirit of Mingzhu University."

"Hehe, teacher, if I can't defeat them all, then I won't be able to stand here facing you."

Upon hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words in the dean's office, Dean Xiao couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Haha, you're truly my student. In a few days, I'll apply for another seven days to take you to the Three Steps Tower. Go and cultivate properly for a while. You'll be able to enter the main campus next semester, and who knows, you might even head straight for the top spot."

"Thank you, teacher."

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and agreed. He was going to the ancient capital academy as the team leader of the exchange students and also wanted to meet Mu Bai and the others.

His subsequent training was naturally conducted in the Land of the Dead, where he experienced the true nature of the undead and fought against them for the first time.

Putting everything else aside, the Land of the Dead is indeed a great place to level up. If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, Cheng Xiaoyu would have been ready to go all out and level up secretly next time.

Unfortunately, I wasn't selected for the exchange program at a university in the capital, so I can't take this opportunity to see Xiaoxue.

"What's wrong, junior brother? Are you feeling down because you can't see your girlfriend?"

Suddenly, Qin Yu'er placed her jade-like hands on Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulders, her entire body quietly pressed against his back, and she breathed sweetly into his ear in a playful tone.

"Haha, how could that be—"

Cheng Xiaoyu's lips twitched. During the winter break, he had arranged to meet Mu Ningxue and Qin Yu'er. He was very curious about what it would be like for the two women to meet.

Unexpectedly, the two women hit it off at first sight and soon became as close as sisters. Qin Yu'er even gave Mu Ningxue a lot of ice-type cultivation resources.

A delicate fragrance reached Cheng Xiaoyu's nose, and he felt a slight touch from behind, which made his heart flutter. He casually moved a little further away.

Ding Yumin, who was standing to the side, noticed this detail. A smile flashed in her calm, beautiful eyes, and the corners of her lips curved up almost imperceptibly.

When Ye Xinxia got home, she had already returned from school. After seeing Cheng Xiaoyu come in, she told him something important.

"You want to apply to universities in Zhejiang?"

Cheng Xiaoyu blinked at Ye Xinxia's decision and stood there stunned for a moment.

"Yes, my grades are excellent. Zhejiang University ranks first in the country for both the healing and spiritual departments, and my teacher also recommended me to go there."

Ye Xinxia was afraid that Cheng Xiaoyu would misunderstand something, so she explained quickly, her delicate hands tightly gripping the hem of her pleated skirt, showing how nervous she was.

Because she took the [Repair Potion] every day, she gradually gained control of the Parthenon Divine Soul within her body, and her cultivation talent was also revealed, making her a genius girl at the top magic high school in the Magic City.

With the cultivation resources provided by Ye Meng and Cheng Xiaoyu, he successfully broke through to the intermediate level and even awakened the Mind System.

"And—I don't want to be a burden to my brother. I also want to become a magician who can stand on his own. As for my life, you don't need to worry about me. I can walk now."

As if afraid that Cheng Xiaoyu wouldn't believe her, she stood up from the sofa, but the next second a hand appeared on her head and pressed her back down.

Faced with Cheng Xiaoyu's calm and composed eyes, Ye Xinxia dared not meet his gaze for a moment and timidly lowered her head.

There was one more thing she hadn't mentioned: she had to try to adapt to life without her brother. She might still inevitably get caught up in conflicts in the future, so she couldn't continue to rely on her brother.

From her conversation with Ye Meng'e, it's clear that Ye Xinxia isn't as innocent as she seems on the surface. In reality, she's a deep and meticulous girl. The reason she pretends is simply to play the role of a good sister to her brother.

"I understand. You can go to study at Zhejiang University. I'll take care of Mom here."

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's gentle words, Ye Xinxia raised her head, and what came into view was a pair of soft eyes that seemed to be able to sink her whole body into them.

"Of course I can't keep you by my side forever. Since you want to work hard to cultivate, I will definitely agree. But if you encounter any difficulties in the future, remember to tell your brother, and I will come to your side as soon as possible."

Cheng Xiaoyu gently patted Ye Xinxia's head, his expression softening as he felt a pang of sadness at his younger sister growing up.

As if sensing this emotion, Ye Xinxia threw herself into Cheng Xiaoyu's arms, inhaling her brother's scent, and held on tightly.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoyu lowered his eyes, stroked his sister's soft hair, and enjoyed the warmth of the moment.

The next day, Cheng Xiaoyu went to the dean's office and told him about Ye Xinxia's choice.

"Alas, it's a pity that a genius like your sister can't join Mingzhu Academy, but Zhejiang Academy is indeed more suitable for her."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu's smile widened. He had relied on time to accumulate experience in the early stages, while his sister's talent was clearly superior, which was enough to make him proud.

Dean Xiao picked up his phone and dialed the dean of Zhejiang University, asking him to take good care of Ye Xinxia, ​​including giving her preferential treatment in the allocation of cultivation resources.

At this point, some people might ask, "Can't we stop relying on connections all the time and instead work hard with our own hands?"

Haha, it's stupid and foolish not to use connections!

"Sigh, it's a shame that Xinxia isn't coming to Mingzhu Academy. There's one less person I can play with."

Ding Yumin had known Ye Xinxia for a long time, and when she learned that the latter had gone to another university, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Uh, Sister Yumian, you can come to me if you're really bored."

"Hmph, my junior brother is so incompetent that he doesn't even dare to take me out to play."

Faced with Ding Yumin's sarcastic remarks, Cheng Xiaoyu awkwardly scratched his head. It would be fine if they just played around in Shanghai, but he really didn't dare to take them to those demonic places. Putting aside what the teacher would think, his senior sister would definitely scold him.

Speaking of Second Senior Sister, she seems so quiet and gentle, how come she has a violent streak inside her? She's so eager to go on adventures, could she be going to pick up bad influences from others?

Subconsciously, the image of his senior sister flashed into his mind, and he was so frightened that he quickly dismissed the thought.

Impossible! Although Senior Sister appears aloof on the surface, she is actually a very gentle older sister. How could she be a violent queen?

Around 2 a.m., Cheng Xiaoyu quietly arrived near the Bund. A cool river breeze seemed to blow away the heat in his heart. [Castlevania Key: Allows entry to Castlevania. Please use it on the Bund in Shanghai.]

Recently, he noticed that the location of the [Castlevania Key] had changed; it seems to move with the player, which saves a lot of trouble.

Cheng Xiaoyu took a deep breath, opened the entrance to the Devil's Castle, and disappeared into the silent Bund.

Opening my eyes, what came into view was the dim and broken Mingzhu Mage Tower. The once towering building was now leaning heavily, as if it was about to collapse.

At this moment, flames were burning on the surface of the flowing Huangpu River, giving a glimmer of light to the dark world, but it still represented a scene of hell.

Sure enough, the demon city in the other dimension looks just like this; I just wonder if the demons inside are even stronger.

Last time, I barely managed to defeat Cerberus, the Great General, in Dracula's Castle with the help of some external forces.

The situation is completely different now. He has a lot more combat power under his command. Back then, he was only level 20, but now he has three times that number, so he is naturally much more confident!

【notification】

[Trigger Quest: Defeat the BOSS in the SJ area]

"SJ area — it's a bit far."

Cheng Xiaoyu stroked his chin, and then a shadow wolf darted out from the shadows and lay down beside him.

"Oh, you're the leader of the Shadow Wolves, right? You're really big."

He jumped onto the back of the Shadow Wolf and had only traveled a short distance towards the SJ district when several demons appeared and blocked his way.

"Heh, looks like things won't get so easy."

"roar!"

The Shadow Wolf roared and charged towards the group of demons blocking its path, its powerful limbs spread wide. Anyone who blocked its path to the throne would die!
