Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

When I came out of Zhan Kong's temporary office, the rain outside had completely stopped.

Sunlight shone through thin clouds onto the ravaged land of Bocheng, and the air was still filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Wang Yu took a deep breath of the polluted air, felt in his pocket, and pulled out the phone with a cracked screen.

Press and hold the power button. The screen flickered twice, then stubbornly lit up.

The signal strength fluctuated between being disconnected and having only one bar. Most of the communication base stations in Bocheng were destroyed, and the current signal connection was entirely dependent on the military's temporary communication vehicles.

Wang Yu held up his phone and walked back and forth along the edge of the barrier for more than ten steps before finally managing to get two bars of signal.

He dialed the number he knew by heart.

"Beep...beep..."

The phone was answered after only two rings.

"Feed." A clear, crisp voice, tinged with weariness, came through the receiver. In the background, there was the rapid clatter of keyboard typing.

"It's me. I'm still alive," Wang Yu said casually.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone. The typing also stopped.

"A scourge lives on for a thousand years." Lingling snorted coldly, but her voice clearly showed relief. "Grandpa told me about your trip to Bocheng before. He was still talking about it yesterday, saying that if you die in Bocheng, the 30 million he borrowed from you will be gone. He even planned to dig up two bricks from the ruins of your orphanage to pay off the debt."

"Thank the old man for his concern. When I return to Shanghai, I'll bring him two beggar's chickens, a specialty of Bocheng." Wang Yu smiled, imagining Lingling sitting in front of the computer, swinging her short legs and rolling her eyes.

"How is the situation in Bo City now? The disaster report from the Magic Association hasn't been updated yet." Lingling quickly got to the point, regaining her professional attitude as a little hunter master.

"The main force of the demons has been repelled by the military, and the winged wolf at the commander level has escaped. Now, what remains in the city are scattered servant-level and a small number of warrior-level. Military mages and hunters are conducting a thorough cleanup." Wang Yu looked at the small teams that were gathering outside the barrier and gave a brief summary of the situation.

"And you? You're not missing any limbs, are you?"

"Completely intact. My magic energy was depleted a few days ago, but after a good night's sleep, it's fully recovered." Wang Yu moved his shoulders, and his bones made a slight cracking sound.

"If you have nothing else to do, get back here right now. Qingtian Hunting Grounds has recently taken on several big jobs and is short of someone to do odd jobs." Lingling gave the order without any politeness.

"In a few days, the transportation line isn't open yet, and I still have some things to take care of here. I'm hanging up now, the signal's bad."

Wang Yu pressed the hang-up button and put his phone back in his pocket.

He turned around, his gaze falling on the vast city ruins beyond the barrier.

Destroyed buildings and collapsed bridges were everywhere, and the scene was utterly chaotic. Occasionally, playful children would discover the remains of corpses, which would terrify them to death...

This Bocheng is no longer the Bocheng of the past. That heavy rain left a shadow on too many people, making them unable to sleep and even more afraid of heavy rain.

The entire city was shrouded in gray and white. Too many people lost their loved ones, and too many people sacrificed their lives. Even if the city still stood, it was no different from being dead.

"I slept for three days, it's time to stretch my muscles," Wang Yu muttered to himself. Thanks to the help of the Star River Magic Artifact, his magical energy had long since recovered to its full potential during the three days he was unconscious.

More importantly, the earth and fire elements he forcibly broke through in the Three-Step Tower have not yet undergone a truly high-intensity practical test.

He originally planned to let the fire and earth elements make a name for themselves in Bo City, but the theory was not enough. The consequence of not practicing in practice was that when he actually tried to use them, he subconsciously described wind and water magic, which meant that it did not serve as much of a training exercise.

He needs live targets. He needs the elemental mastery that can only be honed in real combat.

Without alerting anyone, the cyan wind trail beneath Wang Yu's feet flashed by, his body transforming into a blur as he silently crossed the edge of the safety barrier and plunged back into the dangerous ruins.

Five minutes later, in the northern district of Bocheng, a commercial street collapsed.

The once bustling streets are now littered with broken glass, twisted steel bars, and collapsed GG signs.

Wang Yu stood on the roof of an overturned bus, looking down at the street below.

He didn't fully activate his wind domain, but deliberately limited it to a range of fifty meters around himself. He was forcing himself to rely more on his sight, hearing, and the earth element's perception of earthquakes.

"Click...click..."

From behind the ruins to the left, came the faint sound of claws stepping on rubble.

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Three one-eyed demon wolves emerged from a collapsed supermarket. Their fur was stained with dried blood, and bits of flesh from an unknown creature lingered at the corners of their mouths.

They are looking for food.

One of the larger dire wolves seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised its head, its single green eye fixed on Wang Yu on the roof of the bus.

"Awoo!"

It let out a low growl, its hind legs suddenly exerted force, and its massive body shot up like a cannonball, its sharp claws aimed straight for Wang Yu's throat.

The other two wolves followed closely behind, flanking them from the left and right sides respectively.

Wang Yu didn't move. He didn't even use his wind magic to dodge.

In his mental world, the brown Saturnian nebula began to accelerate its rotation. Under his mental control, the forty-nine stars rapidly arranged themselves.

"Rugged Rocks and Barriers!"

Wang Yu suddenly raised his right hand.

The ground in front of the bus instantly cracked open. Three thick rock walls rose from the ground, their surfaces covered with sharp stone spikes, precisely blocking the three-headed demonic wolf's attack route.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three muffled thuds were heard almost simultaneously.

The largest of the demonic wolves crashed directly into the rock barrier. The immense impact left it dizzy, and sharp stone spikes tore a deep gash in its shoulder.

The other two were also blocked by rock barriers, and stumbled when they landed.

"Earth-based defenses are indeed stronger than water-based defenses, but they lack a bit of flexibility," Wang Yu quickly assessed in his mind.

The wolves quickly adjusted their posture, bypassed the rock barrier, and approached Wang Yu again.

Wang Yu jumped off the bus.

Instead of keeping his distance, he took the initiative to meet him.

"Ground Wave - Collapse!"

The brown star trails beneath my feet flashed by.

The asphalt road beneath the feet of the leading wolf instantly softened, turning into a highly absorbent swamp. One of its front legs sank directly into it, causing it to lose its balance and crash heavily to the ground.

Wang Yu did not give it a chance to struggle.

He loosely clenched his left hand, and crimson flames leaped wildly in his palm.

"Sizzle & Burst!"

He hurled a bright orange fireball with precision, which struck the fallen wolf squarely on the head.

"boom!"

Flames exploded. The intense heat instantly engulfed the wolf's head. It didn't even have time to utter a scream before its head was completely shattered. Its massive body twitched twice and then fell still.

The remaining two demonic wolves, seeing this, showed a flash of fear in their eyes, but their bloodthirsty instincts quickly overwhelmed their reason. They opened their blood-red mouths and bit at Wang Yu's waist, one on each side.

Wang Yu took a deep breath.

He wanted to try out the half-finished technique he had figured out in the basement of the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

Multitasking.

In the spiritual realm, the earth and fire nebulae began to vibrate simultaneously.

He diverted a portion of his mental energy to maintain the depiction of the Earth Star Chart, while forcibly intervening in the connection of the Fire Star Orbit with another portion of his mental energy.

This is an extremely dangerous operation. Once the mental energy is out of control, the two completely different elemental energies will clash within the body, causing damage to the meridians at best, and the collapse of the nebula at worst.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wang Yu's forehead. His brain felt as if it were being torn apart in two directions by two invisible hands.

"become!"

Wang Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ground Wave - Collapse!"

"Sizzle & Burst!"

The ground where the dire wolf stood on the left instantly softened into mud again, trapping it in it; at the same time, the fireball on the right exploded, and the violent fire element instantly engulfed the dire wolf on the right.

Multitasking worked!

Wang Yu snapped out of his daze, unleashed another burst of fire, and eliminated the immobilized demon wolf on his left. Then he leaned against the bus next to him, panting heavily.

Although I managed to force myself to multitask just now, it consumed an enormous amount of mental energy, and I felt a sharp, stabbing pain deep in my brain.

"The timing is still not right. Although the transitions between spells are faster, the power has decreased." Wang Yu looked at his hands, his brows furrowing slightly.

He didn't get discouraged. Real-world experience is for discovering problems.

Wang Yu stepped over the charred corpse on the ground, removed the relatively intact alien bones from the demon wolf's body, and threw them into his spatial ring.

"continue."

He raised his head, his gaze fixed on the deeper ruins. In the shadows there, more prey awaited him.
