Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 127 Private Restaurant

"There's nothing I can do. A couple of days ago, I traded resources with Leng Qing and bought the Star Sea Magic Artifact, which left me with a huge debt to her."

"After thinking about it, I realized that only when there are enough undead in the Qinling Mountains, and their quality is high enough, can the hunting be efficient enough."

"I just went to the Qinling Mountains, and after paying her back, I still have some money left over."

Wang Teng shrugged. After paying off Leng Qing's debts, he still had 49 billion yuan left, which meant his wallet was bulging.

Hei Yu was truly envious now, his gaze falling on Wang Teng's neck, where two pendants hung—the crystal necklace must be the one.

The other one is definitely the totem bead, which is what he knows.

Starry Sea Magic Artifacts! He can't afford them; they're too expensive and extremely difficult to obtain, with no resource channels available.

In his opinion, the Star River Magic Weapon is more affordable and the price is acceptable.

Tang Zhong smirked. This kid's ability to spend money is no less than his ability to make money.

This is still a high-level item, yet he dares to buy a Star Sea Demon Artifact. He used to use this thing before, but he doesn't use it anymore. Once his soul energy is used up, there's no way to replenish it.

As for hunting monarch-level demons? He couldn't do it alone; monarch-level demons are not so easy to hunt.

I'm genuinely envious. Everyone who's used the Starry Sea Magic Device says it's great; those who say it's bad probably can't afford it.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they left, then went their separate ways.

Evening, at a private restaurant.

All four of them changed into casual clothes and arrived here.

Kuroba looked even more handsome than usual, and appeared to be younger as well.

Tang Zhong, being a young old man, prefers a simple style of dress.

Tang Yue and Wang Teng were also dressed casually, and it looked like they were wearing matching outfits.

The food was served quickly; as soon as the four of them arrived, the dishes were laid out.

"Xiao Wang, seeing you reminds me of myself back then, I was just as hardworking."

"Kuroba is the same; he's a hero within our Inquisition."

While eating, Tang Zhong praised the two of them, and also praised himself.

"Oh, it's all thanks to everyone's kindness, I really don't deserve it."

"If Wang Teng graduates and gets in, he will definitely be able to easily surpass me."

Kuroba knew perfectly well that no matter how he was now the deputy presiding judge, he couldn't possibly be the presiding judge.

The presiding judge and the deputy presiding judge are two different things. The Tang family has almost all the power in the Lingyin Tribunal. If he wants to become the presiding judge, he will definitely need the Tang family's support.

Everyone knows that Tang Yue is now with Wang Teng.

Moreover, they may not know Wang Teng's true combat strength, but judging from this incident, he is truly formidable.

He simply cannot do this task.

The fact that he could retreat calmly even when facing a great monarch shows that his strength is no less than his.

Therefore, the position of presiding judge is no longer relevant to him.

The position of deputy presiding judge is the limit, or you could be transferred to the Supreme Court, but that would mean starting all over again.

After all, there's no chance for him to be a vice-judge there; at most, he could be a judge. It would be even harder to climb to the position of vice-judge.

"Brother Hei Yu, you flatter me. I only got ahead because of Tang Yue's help in the early stages. I will need your guidance when I come in, since I only know how to hunt demons and am not good enough for anything else."

Wang Teng raised his glass in a toast.

"Haha~ Brother Wang, you're too modest. Your skill is something that not just anyone can learn."

Hei Yu smiled happily and clinked glasses with Wang Teng.

Tang Yue filled their bowls and then sat quietly to the side to eat.

"With you here, I think next year's National University Championship will be something to watch."

"However, you should be careful not to rush into breaking through to the Super Rank within a year, or you may be disqualified."

Tang Zhong saw the exchange between Hei Yu and Wang Teng and his face showed great satisfaction. He then talked about the National Championship.

"Where is it so easy to break through to the Super Rank? I've heard that the Void Altar in Australia helps high-level mages break through to the Super Rank."

"I'm quite interested; I can go there after the university competition ends."

Wang Teng modestly avoided mentioning his interest in the Parthenon's signet hymns, as that would seem arrogant.

He is a humble person, especially since the two people present are both high-level mages; he still needs to learn humbly.

Kuroba paused for a moment, then realized that there was a hidden meaning in what this guy said.

"What you said is indeed true. That's the purpose of the Void Altar. Many high-level mages want to enter but don't know how."

"The number of places available in the Void Altar is extremely limited. It is basically a stage for high-level mages to compete for, and even if you can get in, the price is very high."

Hei Yu said this, as he knew a little about the Void Altar. That kind of place wasn't for cultivating juniors at all; it was purely for the strong.

"Don't you want the signet hymn from the Parthenon?"

Tang Zhong teased Wang Teng, thinking it was really possible; Wang Teng's strength was a game-changer for those national team players.

With him, the ultimate form among the high-level beings, along with Ai Jiangtu from the military, the two of them are almost comparable to a team.

He even believes that Wang Teng, if he dares to fight freely, can crush an entire team on his own, based on his current combat performance.

"That thing looks good, but it's actually not very useful and doesn't appeal to me."

"The Divine Seal Praise only makes one stand out in combat power among those of the same level; the higher the level, the less the combat power bonus."

"My advancement speed is not slow, so the Divine Seal Praise is useless to me, far less useful than the Void Altar."

To be honest, the Void Altar that allows one to advance to the Super Rank would save him countless hours of cultivation and also conserve Star Sea Heavenly Veins.

Given his magical prowess, the Divine Seal Praise would be practically useless, and might even disrupt the operation of his astral cycle structure.

He figured he could just trade it away later; he was sure someone would like the Divine Seal Praise.

"From a practical standpoint, that's certainly true..."

After listening to his words, Tang Zhong pondered for a while and found that they made a lot of sense. The effect of the Divine Seal Praise was indeed not very effective in boosting combat power after reaching the Super Rank.

It's not that doubling the base power will necessarily result in the same amount of effect. It will be the case for higher-level units, but it's hard to say for higher-level units.

Especially for mages with high magical skill, that double bonus is practically useless.

The Void Altar is different; it's a cultivation treasure that even super-level mages would fight tooth and nail to obtain.

The time required for a Super-Rank Mage to advance one level is countless, not to mention that a Super-Rank Mage has four disciplines to master.

When talent, strength, and background reach a certain level, everyone has the desire to climb to the top, and achieving max level cultivation is everyone's long-cherished wish.

However, most of the super-level are only one type of super-level, and there are not many mages who can master this type to the fullest.

Ultimately, it all comes down to resources. Without Star Sea Magic Artifacts, the cultivation speed of a Super-Order Mage is incredibly slow.
