Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 10 A Grand gesture! A Spirit-grade Stardust Magical Artifact!

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Li Xingze didn't seem to be faking it, Zhan Kong could only say, "I have a Stardust Magic Artifact here, but it's been used."

Li Xingze's steps remained steady, without the slightest hesitation.

"It's at the Spirit level!"

Spirit level!!

Li Xingze turned around incredibly fast, without the slightest hesitation.

In just one second, Zhan Kong realized that Li Xingze had returned to his side.

What the hell? This guy is really a summoner? Even a wind mage wouldn't have this speed, right?

How did you do that?

"I suddenly feel that if I don't participate in the training, there will still be a little regret in my life," Li Xingze said seriously.

Seeing this, Zhan Kong's lips twitched. He thought he was shameless enough, but compared to this guy, he was still not up to par!

You've taken both food and gifts! You've saved face, but you haven't even let the Stardust Magic Artifact go!

"As long as you join the military, let alone a Spirit-level Stardust Artifact, I can even find a way to get you a Soul-level Stardust Artifact," Zhan Kong said, still unwilling to give up.

Hearing about the tempting Soul-level Stardust Magic Artifact, Li Xingze still shook his head. "Everything has a price tag attached to it. I don't want to owe someone a favor for no reason."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Kong's eyes suddenly lit up. This kid is quite clear-headed; he's not simple!

It's just a bit too inhumane. He is, after all, the military leader of Bo City. He tried so hard to invite a novice mage, but the novice mage refused.

Well, let's see if his strength matches his pride.

"Getting back to the main point, your training mission is very simple."

"Hehe~~" Li Xingze rolled his eyes. Do you think I would believe that?

Zhan Kong completely ignored his gaze and said to himself, "As long as you deal with one Bone Spike Wolf."

Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf?

Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf!!

Li Xingze looked at Zhan Kong like he was an idiot. As expected of Zhan Kong!

You really know how to play this game! Sending a novice mage to fight a general-level demon? Are you out of your mind?

Although he possessed a magic scroll powerful enough to deal with an emperor, Zhan Kong was unaware of it!

Zhan Kong only knew of the existence of the Golden Flame Dragon Lion, but even if the Golden Flame Dragon Lion had a high bloodline, it would be difficult to fight against the Bone Spike Ferocious Wolf, which was at the level of a general!

Zhan Kong noticed Li Xingze's look of disbelief and immediately coughed to maintain his dignity. "Ahem, I'm not asking you to kill the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves. As long as you can inflict some damage on the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves, you'll have completed your training mission."

"Some injuries," Li Xingze thought to himself. It was worth taking the risk for the sake of a spirit-grade Stardust Magic Artifact.

However, we still need to define this boundary first to prevent this guy from going back on his word.

"Let's get this straight, what kind of injury counts as completing the training?" Li Xingze asked.

Zhan Kong snorted lightly. This guy was really not easy to fool. He could only say, "Just cripple one of its legs."

"Instructor Zhan Kong, are you kidding me? What's the difference between crippling its leg and killing it?" Li Xingze looked at Zhan Kong speechlessly.

Zhan Kong awkwardly twitched his face, worried that you might actually succeed.

Wouldn't he have just wasted a Stardust Magic Artifact, a Spirit-level one at that!

"One leg it is then," Li Xingze thought for a moment and agreed.

"However," Li Xingze changed the subject, "Instructor Zhan Kong should be traveling with me, right?"

"Of course, I won't let you lose your life in vain." Zhan Kong nodded.

"Shouldn't I have a share in the corpse of that Bone-Spiked Wolf?"

Li Xingze said very seriously, "This Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf is a Warrior-level creature; its fur and claws are extremely valuable."

Zhan Kong thought to himself, "Good heavens! This kid is actually eyeing the spoils of war. Does he think victory is in the bag?"

Upon realizing this, Zhan Kong's heart skipped a beat. Had he set a trap for himself?

However, having already spoken, Zhan Kong naturally wouldn't go back on his word. "As long as you can do it, I'll give you all the cash the Bone Spike Wolf is worth."

A Spirit-level Stardust Magic Artifact is worth tens of millions, even though it was something he had left over from before.

Having invested so heavily, Zhan Kong naturally wouldn't be stingy with these demonic materials.

"Instructor Zhan Kong, when do we depart?"

Li Xingze was full of confidence. He thought that if it were just the Golden Flame Dragon Lion, he might not be able to complete this training mission.

But he has more than just summoned beasts as an attack method.

Seeing Li Xingze's eagerness to try, Zhan Kong felt increasingly uneasy. Could this kid be hiding some other tricks?

But he was just a commoner, without any magical tools or artifacts. How could he possibly deal with a Bone Spike Wolf of the Warrior level with only an advanced-stage summoned beast?

Thinking this, Zhan Kong became even more curious about what methods Li Xingze would use.

Suddenly, a pair of wind wings appeared behind Zhan Kong—this was a high-level wind magic—Wind Wings!

Zhan Kong thought his move would elicit admiration from Li Xingze, but the guy didn't react at all!

This doesn't make sense!

That's high-level magic! How come it couldn't even charm a beginner mage?

"What's so great about high-level magic? I've even used forbidden spells," Li Xingze thought to himself.

Although he didn't cast the spell, it was still an otherworldly mage he summoned!

"This kid is getting more and more incomprehensible!"

Zhan Kong shook his head, grabbed Li Xingze's arm with one hand, and flew into the air, heading straight out of the city!

The commotion caused by the two leaving the city caused quite a stir.

"Is that Li Xingze? Why did Instructor Zhan Kong take him out of the city?" Xue Musheng stared blankly at the sky.

Even if Li Xingze isn't allowed to participate in the group training, surely he shouldn't be sent out of the city alone for training?

Isn't this too dangerous?

With Instructor Zhan Kong here, nothing should go wrong, right?

"This guy is actually letting others manipulate him. Could it be that Zhan Kong promised him some benefits?"

Tang Yue secretly speculated that, given the special nature of Li Xingze's summoning system, he didn't need these training results at all.

Since he chose to leave the city with Zhan Kong, it means that Zhan Kong offered him something that appealed to him.

Although the other students had already set off, compared to Zhan Kong's Wind Wings, they were as slow as snails.

In less than half an hour, the two arrived at a wasteland.

"What good luck! We found a Bone-Spiked Wolf so quickly."

The two flew forty or fifty meters in the air, pointing at a giant demonic wolf with three eyes below.

This was the first time Li Xingze had ever seen a demon of the War General level. Even in the Summoning Dimension, War General level demons were rare. He had been there five or six times and had never encountered a demon of the War General level or higher.

The Bone-Spiked Wolf has countless sharp bone spurs growing on its back, like iron nails, ready to pierce the enemy's body at any time.

The Bone-Spiked Wolf, also known as the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, has a third eye located on its forehead, which flashes with a blood-red light, making it eerie and full of malevolent energy.
