Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

Ten minutes passed, and Wang Yu was still locked in a fierce battle with the Great General-level Wind Erosion Demon. Against the sharp wind claws, the initial-level Water Defense-Circulation technique was still somewhat weak. Although Wang Yu wasn't seriously injured, he inevitably suffered several cuts that caused him to bleed continuously. If the battle dragged on any longer, the blood loss and pain would prevent him from concentrating, ultimately leading to his demise.

But before that, the more critical situation was that Wang Yu's magical energy was almost completely depleted. His wind magic energy was nearly exhausted in the repeated parries, leaving him with only one or two mid-level spells to spare. His water magic energy was in no better shape. It seemed that his earlier estimate of winning by parrying and counterattacking was somewhat overly optimistic.

The more critical the situation, the more crucial it is to remain calm and think strategically. After parrying the sharp wind claws once more, Wang Yu didn't seize the opportunity to attack. Instead, he focused his attention on the sky. The exceptionally active and "vibrant" wind he had previously overlooked, exuding a hint of domineering power, was most likely a spirit seed nurtured by this wondrous world. During the previous battle, the Wind-Eroding Demon had clearly shown its desire for the wind spirit seed several times. Had its true form possessed the ability to fly, Wang Yu estimated that the Wind-Eroding Demon might have completely ignored him and gone straight for the spirit seed. After all, demons also possess the ability to absorb spirit seeds, only the amplification level is not as high as that of mages.

In the current desperate situation, continuing to fight and exchange blows would only lead to death. Wang Yu only has two options: one is to parry one or two more times and take the opportunity to escape down the mountain by using his speed advantage over the Wind Erosion Demon's main body; the other is to take a gamble and try to absorb the spiritual seed in the sky.

Fight!

Isn't a monk's life all about risking his life? Let's do it!

The fleeting gap was about to pass, and Wang Yu rode the wind rails, soaring into the sky!

Although wind magic only unlocks wind wings at higher levels, in reality, any relatively skilled beginner mage can fly as long as they are bold enough. Just steer the wind trail towards the sky, and leave the rest to the time spent in the air and the parabola.

Wang Yu, as the champion of the wind-rail obstacle course in the preparatory class of Mingzhu Academy, not only has the courage to take off using wind rails, but also a great deal of courage!

Take off, hurtle towards the Spirit Seed, and leave the rest to fate!

When Wang Yu was halfway through his flight, the Wind Erosion Demon also recovered from the recovery period after being hit. It seemed to be in much better condition than Wang Yu. Although its main body could not take off, its pair of sharp wind claws still quickly blocked Wang Yu's path.

Wang Yu had already broken free from the first level of wind track. He first drew the wind track again to increase his speed, narrowly dodging the claws chasing from behind. Then he drained all his water magic energy and condensed an unprecedentedly powerful water blade, slashing fiercely at the oncoming wind claws!

For the Wind Erosion Demon, this might have been just an ordinary interception, but for Wang Yu, it was a desperate strike. He went all out and focused intently, making the Water Blade Sky Vanguard, which was controlled by his mental power and contained the magical energy of three mid-level magics, extremely sharp!

cut!

Break!

For the first time since the start of the war, Wang Yu severed the Wind Erosion Demon's sharp blades and claws!

The Wind Erosion Demon cried out in pain, but Wang Yu didn't care about its appearance and hurled the unprecedentedly powerful water blade in his hand at the Wind Erosion Demon.

A water blade over a meter long pierced through the Wind Erosion Demon, whose size was already shrinking, and slammed it into the ground. At the same time, Wang Yu drew a third wind trail in the air and rushed towards the Spirit Seed.

According to the information Wang Yu had previously researched, mages generally need a certain amount of time to refine spirit seeds, using their spiritual power to slowly guide the spirit seed into the nebula to refine it. However, it seemed that the wind-type spirit seed in the air wouldn't give him the time to "slowly guide" it, so Wang Yu chose to open his arms and embrace the spirit seed that was rushing towards him.

The moment the spirit seed entered his arms, a cool sensation spread from his chest throughout his body. At first, it felt slightly cold and agitated, but soon, the spirit seed, full of spirituality, showed Wang Yu that it did not object to being accepted by him.

A breeze seemed to flow through his body, but Wang Yu didn't feel the usual coolness or warmth; instead, he felt a domineering aura. Could this be a characteristic of a spirit seed?

The doubt passed in an instant, but the newly born spirit seed no longer needed guidance and took the initiative to enter Wang Yu's wind-elemental nebula. Perhaps this was because the spirit seed chose him directly over the wind-eroding demon. Wang Yu suddenly realized that it was probably because he looked more domineering when he was slaying demons.

It sounds complicated, but it actually happened in almost an instant. Wang Yu embraced the wind spirit that crashed into his chest, then conjured a wind trail and plummeted from the sky towards the wind-eroding demon. He also drained his wind-elemental magic energy and condensed the strongest wind blade in history in his hand:

"Wind Blade - Soaring to the Sky!"

"Soaring to the Sky"—that's the name Wang Yu just gave to this somewhat domineering spirit seed. The effects of absorbing the spirit seed were immediate; the wind blades in Wang Yu's hands were several times sharper and more powerful than before.

On the ground, the Wind Erosion Demon was still stuck in the ground by the water blade from before. Facing Wang Yu's fierce slash that came down from the sky, it was completely unable to break free and could only use its last remaining sharp wind claw to intercept Wang Yu.

But could they stop him? Chongxiao amplified the power of wind magic by two or three times, while Wang Yu condensed more than two levels of mid-level magic energy into the wind blade, gaining nearly six times the power of ordinary mid-level magic. This was already close to the power of high-level magic. How could a heavily injured general, pinned to the ground, possibly escape?

After the violent energy collision, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, leaving behind only a living, breathing Wang Yu covered in blood, a complete wind claw, and the core of a wind-eroded demon. The aftershocks of the battle had likely deterred the surrounding demons, and the area around Xima Pool was safe for the time being.

Wang Yu laboriously moved himself to the side of the bluestone and leaned against it, bandaging his wounds while guzzling blood potions as if they were free. These blood potions greatly enhanced a mage's blood-producing function, essentially activating a hidden reserve of energy. Although it would cause relative weakness for a period afterward, in the wilderness where there were no healing mages, having blood potions was already quite a blessing.

After his wounds were bandaged and his strength and magical energy were restored enough for self-defense, Wang Yu prepared to get up and go down the mountain to find a clinic. But as he glanced around, he suddenly noticed a small, dimly lit sphere on the ground, emitting a peculiar light.

Holy crap, the essence exploded? Wang Yu had killed quite a few demons with Xiao Ding and Lingling before, so he had seen this kind of thing before. Fortunately, he had a necromancer he got from the Azure Sky Hunter, so he quickly rushed over and collected the essence. You know, this thing usually dissipates a few minutes after a demon dies, but Wang Yu had been bandaging it for half an hour!

Could he really be the chosen one? A general-level essence, dropped by a pure wind elemental demon, selling for twenty million would be a piece of cake! That amount of money could buy a villa in Shanghai... oh wait, not enough. Oh well, let's keep working hard.

Carrying all his spoils and covered in wounds, Wang Yu descended the mountain and headed straight for the clinic, hoping that Lingling wouldn't be frightened by his injuries this time.
