Full-Time Magister: Can My Magic Cultivate Itself?

The next morning, in the lobby of the Hunter's Alliance in Bo City.

As soon as you step into this magnificent semi-circular building, a wild and noisy heat wave hits you.

The hall was bustling with noise, filled with hunters shouting and reeking of blood.

On the huge electronic screen, a dense array of terrifying red bounty missions scrolled by, creating a spectacular scene filled with a raw and violent aesthetic.

However, when Yang Zuohe, dressed in the uniform of a high-ranking member of the Magic Association, led Lin Chen straight to the registration counter, the arrogant atmosphere around them instantly subsided.

"Oh my! Chairman Yang! What brings you here today!"

Behind the counter, the Alliance Deacon, who had been lounging with his legs crossed, jumped up immediately upon seeing the badge on Yang Zuohe's chest, his face plastered with an extremely fawning smile.

"Is it troublesome for you to let my nephew register for a hunter's identity?" Yang Zuohe said calmly, his voice carrying an air of authority.

"No trouble at all! Absolutely no trouble! It's an honor for our Bo City Hunters Alliance that your nephew can register with us!"

The deacon bowed and scraped, immediately offering the highest level of treatment.

All the tedious queuing, background checks, and even the regular magic tests were eliminated.

Several staff members typed away furiously, and in less than three minutes, the entire process was completed smoothly and efficiently.

"Young Master Lin Chen, this is your hunter's badge. Please keep it safe! May you have great luck in your martial arts endeavors!"

Amidst the extremely enthusiastic, even respectful, farewell from several senior executives of the Hunter Alliance.

Lin Chen clutched the cold bronze badge that represented his hunter identity tightly in his hand, and followed Yang Zuohe out the door.

As Lin Chen stepped out of the Hunter's Alliance gates, the early winter wind dispelled some of the heat in his heart.

"The main reason I brought you out this time is to let you see what real demons look like and experience the atmosphere of life-and-death battles."

Yang Zuohe walked ahead, leading the way while giving instructions to Lin Chen without turning his head, his tone revealing the composure of an elder.

"Therefore, we will not be accepting any formal commissions in the Hunter's Alliance lobby today."

"Your current magical energy reserves are still too low. Wait until you return to the Magic City after your winter break and reach around the third level of the initial stage before trying to take on a few simpler commissions."

"Understood, Uncle." Lin Chen quickly followed, his eyes gleaming with eagerness.

Before they knew it, the surrounding scenery gradually became desolate.

High-rise buildings were left behind, replaced by an abandoned factory overgrown with waist-high weeds and covered in rust.

Yang Zuohe led Lin Chen through the industrial area littered with rubble, eventually stopping beside an open sewer manhole that emitted a foul stench.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the stench of rotting flesh, mold, and sewage hit him, almost making Lin Chen vomit up the clear soup noodles he had eaten the night before.

"Xiao Chen, let me test you," Yang Zuohe turned around, looked at Lin Chen who was trying to suppress his nausea, and asked seriously.

"Do you know what the most common monster, and the one that poses the greatest threat to the lives of ordinary residents, is inside a city where humans live?"

Lin Chen covered his nose, his mind quickly flashing through the knowledge of demons from his magic high school textbooks, and nodded without hesitation in answering:

"I know! They are rodent demons and some insect demons that prefer dark and damp environments. They reproduce very quickly and like to roam in the city's underground pipes."

"Hmm, you've learned the basics well." A hint of appreciation flashed in Yang Zuohe's eyes, then he pointed to the bottomless sewer at his feet, which looked like the gaping maw of an abyss.

"Today, your uncle will show you the most notorious and common type of rat monster—the Giant-Eyed Bloody Rat!"

Before Lin Chen could react, Yang Zuohe's legs bent slightly.

Without even casting any defensive magic, he leaped directly into the dark and deep sewer!

"Holy crap!" Lin Chen was startled and quickly peered down.

With a muffled thud, Yang Zuohe landed steadily at the bottom of the moss-covered pipe after a drop of more than ten meters, without even bending his knees.

The terrifying physique of a mid-level mage, which had been tempered by magical energy for many years and had long surpassed the limits of normal humans, was on full display at this moment.

"Come down, climb up the iron ladder over there." Yang Zuohe's voice echoed from below.

Lin Chen swallowed hard; he didn't possess the monstrous physique of a mid-level mage. He obediently turned around, gripped the rusty ladder with both hands, and carefully climbed down step by step. Only when he was two or three meters from the bottom did he release his grip, nimbly jumping down and landing on the slippery, sticky mud.

The sewer was extremely dark, with only a sliver of light leaking from the manhole overhead. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional "drip, drip" of water coming from afar.

Lin Chen followed closely behind Yang Zuohe, winding his way through the intricate underground pipe network.

As he walked, Lin Chen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, his heart started pounding uncontrollably, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

It's the feeling of being stared at by some extremely cold, bloodthirsty gaze, a deadly sign that danger is about to strike!

"Buzz—!"

In that split second, Lin Chen didn't even have time to think.

The seven fire-elemental stars in the spiritual world seemed to sense their master's crisis and simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light in an instant!

Without difficult control or mental guidance, the seven stars merely flickered smoothly for a moment, and a perfect crimson star trail instantly took shape!

"Huff—!!!"

A raging fire, even more violent and intense than the one on the bullet train, suddenly erupted in Lin Chen's right hand without warning!

The originally cold and damp air was instantly evaporated under this terrifying heat, and the temperature rose sharply, completely dispelling the darkness within a ten-meter radius around the two people!

Yang Zuohe, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around. When he saw the leaping flame in Lin Chen's hand and Lin Chen's somewhat bewildered expression, he was stunned.

He was struck dumb, his eyes widening instantly, his face filled with disbelief, and even his voice changed tone:

"A single thought traversing the star trail?! How is that possible?!"

Yang Zuohe's worldview was severely impacted at this moment.

You should know that Lin Chen only learned how to cast magic yesterday!

He was a complete novice!

Even veteran mages who have been immersed in basic magic for over a decade need a long time to regain control of the stars after awakening a new magic system.

But Lin Chen actually skipped the control process and released it instantly?!

Lin Chen himself was also taken aback.

Looking at the flame in his hand that seemed to be connected to his blood, he suddenly realized something.

Progress bar!

It's that progress bar on the high-speed train that's loaded to 100%!

As long as the progress bar is full, and as long as his mental strength and magical energy are sufficient, he can release magic at will and without delay, just like breathing!

This is definitely a cheat code unique to him, the time traveler!

"This...this must be Xiao Chen's innate talent, right? It's definitely an extremely rare innate talent!"

Yang Zuohe took several deep breaths of the scorching air, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and could only attribute this illogical scene to a blessing from heaven.
