Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 122 Debt of 25 Billion

Wang Teng continued his studies at Mingzhu Academy. As his abilities and horizons broadened, he felt that he lacked more and more.

It really proves the saying: the more you know, the more you realize how ignorant you are.

The two systems of demon cultivation and magic cultivation alone kept him very busy, requiring him to accumulate all sorts of theories, and sometimes even some unorthodox ones.

Just like his accidental discovery of the anomaly in the soul and magical energy, which reminded him of another cultivation system, a very promising path.

These things can only be roughly understood, and information is very hard to find, or even non-existent.

He needs to make gradual deductions and conduct his own practical training to arrive at a conclusion.

Of course, these all involve very profound knowledge of magic, and the existing materials in the library, namely the manuscripts of various exchange meetings, may only mention them in a partial way.

After all, this kind of knowledge can already be classified as forbidden techniques.

It's not surprising that the Research Council and the military might have records of this, involving the unique power systems of the Holy City and the Parthenon.

Mo Fan's demonization was a human demonization experiment conducted by the military, but in the end, it was still a defective product.

Each use requires a huge price to pay, and Mo Fan's special case cannot be considered a success at all.

Even now, when Wang Teng looks back at that incident, he finds it utterly absurd.

Demonization requires the use of demon bloodline reagents. How can two completely different creatures possibly be compatible?

The starting point is flawed. They pin their hopes on seizing the power of demons and keep targeting demons. Why not start with humanity itself?

Even the most ordinary servant-level demons have incredibly powerful physical abilities; could humans withstand that?

Not to mention that there is demonic power unique to demons in the blood. Ordinary people's bodies can't even withstand demonic energy, let alone demonic power with foreign attributes.

Isn't this just courting death? It's like a human devouring a demon, then being assimilated by the power of a demon with a higher life level, resulting in a direct mutation.

Even demons themselves cannot resist the corrosive influence of hierarchical relationships, and are forced to merge with powers of a higher level, otherwise they can forget about promotion.

Unless the leader of the demon tribe dies, the demons below will not have the best resource allocation and will almost never have the chance to advance.

This kind of behavior in the original work is, undeniably, very much in line with the style of a reckless man.

The characteristics of vitality and spiritual power are different. Spiritual power is very inert, which is why Xingzi was able to create stardust in the spiritual world and establish a magic system.

Once life force is forced to come into contact with magical energy, it is integrated into the whole body, inside and out, and there is not such a strong inertia.

This is how the Black Vatican's forbidden curse technique came about: directly using formations to suppress the mental state and fuse with demonic power—it's extremely brutal.

The result is a hybrid appearance, neither human nor demon, with potential inferior to that of a proper servant-level demon, but stronger than the physical attributes of a human.

They're like the lowly experience monsters under the villains in the beginner area—somewhat threatening, but not many.

A week later.

Wang Teng arrived at Tang Yue's home in Songcheng, only to find another stunningly beautiful woman from the Tribunal, Leng Qing.

"Sister Leng wants the Earth-type Domain Soul Seed you have, and she has already found the Star Sea Magic Artifact."

Tang Yue held his hand and explained her actions.

"Okay, sure!"

Wang Teng was very satisfied with Tang Yue's performance; he hadn't expected her to find a quiet channel.

He then took out the earth-elemental domain soul seed from his personal space. Through the slightly transparent container, one could see an earth-yellow soul seed inside, emitting a domain of yellow earth dust.

"It really is a Domain Soul Seed!"

Leng Qing looked at the dazzling, churning yellow dust field with a hint of excitement. This type of field would definitely create an earth-based environment.

It is extremely advantageous in territorial warfare, providing excellent support for both capturing humans and hunting monsters, and can also affect the respiratory system of living beings.

"As expected of a Domain Soul Seed, even the special effects are so amazing, there's always something outstanding about it."

Leng Qing was very satisfied with this, her eyes filled with joy.

Once she fuses with this soul seed, her combat power and battlefield agility will be greatly enhanced.

She then took out a crystal necklace with a round crystal pendant that exuded the aura of a great monarch.

Sigh~

The totem bead on Wang Teng's chest suddenly started to move, and a thought entered his mind.

"Alright, that's for my cultivation. I can't give it to you for now. I'll find you one when I have the chance."

He touched the totem bead speechlessly; the silly snake had actually gotten a craving.

Upon seeing this, Tang Yue smiled, reached out and took out the totem bead, holding it in her hands.

The black snake was very familiar with Tang Yue's aura, so it did not resist.

Leng Qing's eyes flickered for a moment before he stopped paying attention to the totem bead, thinking that Wang Teng had indeed taken it.

"This is a Star Sea Magic Artifact crafted from the essence of a Grand Monarch-level Swamp Demon Lizard. It provides a 10x bonus to Super-Tier cultivation and a 30x bonus to High-Tier cultivation."

"As for its price..." Leng Qing's face showed a pained expression. She had emptied her savings for this item, and it was only because Old Man Bao was selling it to her as a favor.

Even she couldn't bear to buy it; it was too extravagant.

"40 million!"

Upon hearing the price, Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Forget it, I'll just have to cultivate slower."

Moreover, his current total net worth may not even be enough.

"I know that 40 billion is a bit too much for someone of your caliber, but I can let you delay payment for a while."

"You can only owe 20 billion, and I'm out of money because of that."

Leng Qing seemed to have noticed Wang Teng's hesitation, and a pitiful expression appeared on her face. She had been working herself to the bone for this earth-type domain soul seed.

"That's feasible~ However, I'll charge 10 billion for the Earth-type Domain Soul Seed, and I can only pay you 5 million for now. How about that?"

"I don't have much cash on me. If I were to buy it, I would have to empty my savings."

Wang Teng thought that Leng Qing was indeed a clever person, but he decided against the self-inflicted injury ploy, since he was a man who ate meat.

He currently only has a little over 5 million in his account; 10 billion is impossible.

After this incident, his family fortune was almost completely depleted.

Leng Qing hesitated for a moment, but quickly recovered. She had already gone to such lengths for this earth-type domain soul seed, so what was a little more?

Moreover, if it were auctioned, the price could potentially be even higher.

This soul seed's domain is indeed excellent, with strong functional and supportive properties.

"good!"

Leng Qing gritted her teeth and handed over the Star Sea Magic Artifact, seemingly afraid of dropping it. Even though she knew that a collision would not cause any damage, she still did it.

Wang Teng naturally gave the Soul Seed to Leng Qing as well, and reached out to take the Star Sea Demon Artifact.

Leng Qing looked at the earth-type domain soul seed in his hand and smiled happily. There was no need to test the amplification multiplier. Domain-type soul seeds have a minimum of 5 times and a maximum of 6 times.

"Tang Yue, this is for you. This thing is of the highest quality, no worse than a domain-type. It's a pure attack-type Soul Seed, the Burning Flame, and it's reached its maximum amplification multiplier."

"By the way, give Sister Leng 5 million as payment. You know my account details."

Wang Teng casually took out the fire-type soul seed, Burning Flame, and handed it to her.

Tang Yue put down the totem bead and accepted the soul seed from the vessel with a shocked look in her eyes.
