Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 128 Challenge Begins

At night, the four men left the private restaurant and got into separate cars.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Wang Teng thought to himself that this time he had achieved a substantial result. He had gained Tang Zhong's approval and Hei Yu's statement.

His future entry into the upper echelons of the trial committee is a foregone conclusion, which can be considered part of his network of connections.

As for whether he can become the presiding judge, that depends on when Tang Zhong retires.

Once he retires, if there are no particularly outstanding talents on the Tang family side, then his relationship will be the closest. This includes not only his relationship with Tang Yue, but more importantly, the Xuan Snake is all on him.

He will most likely become the presiding judge, and Kuroba will have no way to compete with him. This time, Kuroba has made it clear that he is content with just being a deputy presiding judge.

He was actually thinking even further. He wondered if the Beiyushan incident would happen again. If it did, then there would be another presiding judge position.

He was also able to take the presiding judge's seat ahead of time, which was very beneficial to his later plans.

As for waiting for Tang Zhong to retire, that's still a long way off. It would be better to plan ahead if there's an opportunity.

However, all of that is still early; the immediate issues are more important.

He needed to make a choice: the academy selection competition and the ancient capital's undead war—these two events almost overlapped.

The timeframe is within these three months; otherwise, by the time the spring semester starts next year, the university selection process will be over.

At the end of this semester, a final selection will inevitably take place, and the internal selection within the university will begin in a little over a month.

During this time, he also needs to study the use of spatial abilities. The competition is not like hunting demons. If the opponent does not defend in time when the spatial sword mark is released, someone will die.

Using your fists is obviously more appropriate; it won't cut someone in half instantly, and you might still have a chance to save them.

The mind-based system doesn't need to be changed; it's already perfect. Since the competition is a team event, he can just use some mind-based attacks.

As for publicly summoning a soul? It's best to avoid doing such things, as they are easily criticized.

And then there's the Chaos faction. In the mage competition, the Chaos faction is their father!

Those elemental types are completely controlled; that's how powerful the Chaos type is.

Moreover, its uses go far beyond that; it's also excellent for research, and he'll need to use the Chaos System later.

If used well, it might grant you an unprecedented magic system.

"The university competition is still more important. There is one thing that is very important during the training process, and it is best to get it if possible."

Wang Teng quickly made up his mind. He wouldn't participate in the war of the dead in the ancient capital. Firstly, there was no benefit to it; secondly, it would easily expose his hidden strength, since anything could happen on the battlefield, and he wasn't omniscient. Thirdly, he missed the academy competition selection; he wouldn't have Mo Fan's luck of being forced into the team.

"What are you thinking about? Get off the bus~" Tang Yue looked at Wang Teng, who was lost in thought, and leaned over to kiss him to bring him back to his senses.

"Okay, let's go!"

Wang Teng grinned, then took her and disappeared from the car, returning home.

He picked Tang Yue up and carried her to the bathroom. He said that after eating, he smelled a bit strong and needed to wash up.

"Put me down quickly, take off your clothes first..."

Bang~

With a whoosh, steam rose from the bathroom, and two figures moved within it.

……

More than a month has passed. Wang Teng stayed at the school to continue his studies. During this time, he went to the Three-Step Tower twice, focusing on cultivating demonic arts. He advanced to the Monarch level, which is a big leap and requires him to constantly accumulate demonic power.

The path to becoming a monarch has been opened, and he needs to advance step by step. The transformation of his bloodline power, the improvement of his soul level, and the accumulation of demonic power are three directions that cannot be stopped.

To avoid following in the footsteps of ordinary demons and leap directly to the level of a legitimate monarch, one needs to take a three-pronged approach.

Most demons who reach the sub-monarch level do so by cultivating their physical body or demonic power, while their soul level remains in the process of transformation; this is quite common.

Demons that can cross three steps at the same time are all high-level demon descendants with bloodline inheritance. They reach this level when they reach adulthood and do not need to walk separately.

Wang Teng naturally wanted to do the same. Among them, accumulating demonic power was the most time-consuming part, while soul enhancement was the fastest, followed by bloodline power.

The existence of the Three-Step Tower is to accumulate time, allowing him to transform the demonic power that requires a long time to accumulate into something that can be done in a short time.

"Hey~ Mo Fan, aren't you going to the competition? Why don't you come over and train?"

Wang Teng was strolling around the main campus when he came to the Three Steps Tower area and saw Mo Fan walking towards him.

"Since I don't have any matches scheduled for the time being, I thought I'd go into the Three-Step Tower to train for a bit."

Mo Fan stared at Wang Teng with burning eyes. This guy was really lucky. Out of ten nominees, his name was already on the list before the competition even started.

"Then you'd better keep an eye on the time, so you don't miss the opportunity."

Wang Teng smiled and patted him on the shoulder. This time, Mo Fan didn't have three votes, so if he didn't play in the university preliminaries, his chances of making it into the national team were slim.

Of course, if he can save the ancient capital this time, then he's truly remarkable.

Actually, the credit should belong to Zhan Kong. Whether or not Mo Fan is there doesn't really matter. It's just that his combat power is exaggerated.

Zhan Kong was the one who ultimately resolved the undead crisis. I'll find an opportunity to talk to him later and see if I can get him to sacrifice the soul of an ancient king so he can absorb it.

After all, the Ancient King was an emperor-level being, and Zhan Kong was determined to die, so he could just fulfill Zhan Kong's wish.

It has to be said that there are a lot of undead lords; if you had the chance, you could have hunted them all down, and the same goes for those overseas.

Compared to wild monarchs, undead monarchs are actually easier to deal with; the only downside is that they act collectively.

"There is an opportunity, though. When Zhan Kong attacks the Underworld and fights Khufu, I can join in."

"The Northern Frontier is also an opportunity. I can take the Black Serpent to eat bullfrogs. I promised it, and I can't go back on my word."

Various thoughts flashed through Wang Teng's mind in an instant. He had to seize every opportunity to improve himself. The future of demonic arts was limitless, and he had to take it seriously.

"Don't worry, do you think I'd miss out on something like this?"

Mo Fan had a look on his face that said, "You're underestimating me." He also had some questions in his mind. Wang Teng was the kind of guy who wouldn't do anything without a reason. Why was he taking this competition so seriously? Was there a lot of benefit for him?

"Old Wang, do you know something?"

He couldn't help but ask, because in his opinion, this selection competition didn't seem like anything special.

"Just take a look at the competition process and final awards from previous years' university competitions, and you'll know."

Wang Teng didn't say anything more. Everyone has different ideas. He could only remind Mo Fan not to be too arrogant and not to take the Academy Competition seriously. This time, he might not have anyone to support him.

The treasure hunt and the final reward alone are tempting enough, and you can also earn some pocket money during the journey, making it a pretty good trip.

The circle of mages may seem large, but it's actually quite simple. It's also hierarchical, with higher and lower ranks, and forbidden spells roughly divided into three levels.

The university competition is a chance to gain fame by leapfrogging, and it also serves as a resume. Otherwise, who would know you? The university competition receives a lot of attention.
