Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 129 Ai Jiangtu Arrives

The start of the university preliminaries made the main campus exceptionally lively, with various competitions to watch every day. Compared to the usual arduous studies, this was a welcome break.

Today, Wang Teng was dragged by Ding Yumin to watch the competition at the largest arena in Mingzhu Academy.

The seats were packed with people, and the arena was filled with team matches, including repeated combinations, meaning there were quite a few matches to be played.

"You broke through to the advanced level yesterday?"

Wang Teng ate the popcorn that Ding Yumin had bought, his gaze sweeping over her. He noticed that her aura had improved considerably since they last met.

"Yes, I was busy controlling the fire element stars and getting familiar with the surge in fire element power, especially the Dark Flame Domain, which took me a lot of time."

"I've managed to operate it now, so I went to the Three-Step Tower and, with the help of the Star River Vein, steadily broke through to the advanced level of the Mind System."

"I've been training for too long this time, and I wanted to take a break. I happened to hear that the preliminary rounds had already started, so I dragged you along to watch."

Seeing Ding Yumin clinging to his arm and grinning foolishly, Wang Teng felt much more relaxed. It seemed that his efforts had indeed paid off.

"Just balance work and rest; there's no need to push yourself so hard."

"However... you still need to work on your mind control. There's no way around it; it's your innate strength, but also your only weakness."

He didn't really want to rush her, but it was a problem he had to face, and things would be much better once he got through it.

"I know, I'll take a break today and keep trying tomorrow."

Ding Yumin said with a smile that she knew this was a happy trouble, something that others could only dream of.

Jiang Feng's recent outrageous actions dealt her a heavy blow, making her life exceptionally busy.

Wang Teng smiled and patted her head, then watched the university preliminaries with her.

Moreover, there is an unusually large amount of free-floating spiritual energy here, which helps him improve his spiritual realm.

Amidst the excitement, the competition resumed, and these preliminary rounds were quite interesting.

Those who were able to participate were all top-ranked individuals from each department, and their magical abilities were generally much better. The various back-and-forth battles drew cheers from the audience.

"There it is!"

A sweet shout rang out, drawing the attention of those nearby. Their instincts to recognize people kicked in, and upon closer inspection, their eyes lit up – this was a wealthy man.

Ai Tutu led a young man with a slightly dark complexion as they walked, drawing everyone's attention.

"Wang Teng, my brother wants to see you!"

With a passionate expression, Ai Tutu pulled the man behind her to her front.

"Who are you?" Wang Teng was also impressed by the girl's magnanimity and took another look.

"My name is Ai Jiangtu, and she is my younger sister, Ai Tutu."

"I've heard about your deeds, the legendary student of Green Island. You're very well-known within our military; almost every young person knows about you."

"Instructor Xu Yuan speaks very highly of you."

"I came here today to see you."

Ai Jiangtu wore a bright smile. Ever since he was selected as the captain of the National Team, he had been paying close attention to his teammates.

But after waiting and waiting, he still hadn't seen Wang Teng selected as a member. He couldn't stand it anymore. When he heard that the preliminary rounds of Mingzhu Academy had already started, he specially asked his sister to come and meet him.

"Hello, hello..."

Wang Teng stood up, extended his hand, and accepted Ai Jiangtu's handshake. He wondered if this guy might have the potential to be a fan of celebrities.

As a result, he felt an unusually strong force coming from his hand. When he looked up, he saw that the guy's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Wang Teng smiled and played along for a bit, squeezing his hand slightly harder.

Gara~

A harsh, tooth-grinding sound came from where the two were shaking hands, but Ai Jiangtu's hand became engorged and red, while Wang Teng had a beaming smile.

Ai Jiangtu's expression changed, and he quickly added more power, but the power was as stable as a vise, and he couldn't budge it at all.

"I give up~"

Ai Tutu stared at her brother in surprise. He had already admitted defeat the moment they met?

It seems like magic was used just now?

Wang Teng loosened his grip. This guy's mental strength actually reached the third realm. He was indeed a talented person, and also a wealthy one.

"Instructor Xu Yuan's lecture was indeed excellent; you are a towering figure for almost all young people!"

After the test, Ai Jiangtu seemed exceptionally happy, shaking his numb and sore right hand, which he had just sensed.

The opponent's mental strength is actually at the sixth level!

That's absolutely outrageous!

If he hadn't frequently come into contact with powerful figures in the military, he wouldn't have been able to discern the specific intensity of their mental strength.

"Monument? What kind of nonsensical term is that?"

Wang Teng's face darkened. Couldn't these brutes have even a little bit of artistic talent?

"Those things aren't important. Why weren't you a pre-selected member?"

"With your strength, you can be said to be invincible among the younger generation."

Ai Jiangtu was clearly not paying attention to Wang Teng's emotions, but rather to Wang Teng's situation, and seemed very dissatisfied with the matter.

"What are you thinking? Where am I going to get so many votes?"

"It's already quite good to get a vote from the trial committee and secure a nomination spot in advance."

Wang Teng shrugged, indicating that he wasn't dissatisfied with the situation and was already lucky to have gained anything.

Those councilors are easy to get along with. He was only able to get in touch with Tang Zhong because of Tang Yue's connections; how could he possibly meet anyone else?

He was already satisfied with just one nomination; as for more votes, that kind of thing depends on connections.

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiangtu frowned. It was indeed a fact. He had also reviewed Wang Teng's information, and it could be said that he had made rapid progress entirely through his own talent.

This is the kind of person he admires the most, but it's true that the other person can't get votes without connections.

"My father still has a ticket, which I can transfer to..."

"stop!"

Wang Teng stopped him. This guy really came to chase after his idol, running all the way here to give him a ticket.

"I entered the National Team by virtue of my abilities and by following the normal procedures."

"I appreciate your kindness, and I'm very happy that you came all this way. One more or one less vote won't make much difference to me."

"As long as no one pulls any strings, my entry into the National Team is a certainty."

Wang Teng didn't want to owe him anything. During the training, some unexpected things were bound to happen, and he was too lazy to be obligated to accept favors.

The main point is that he doesn't have much interaction with the military, and there's no conflict of interest between them. It's just a mutual appreciation between young people, and it's better to keep it pure.

"Alright then, I look forward to your joining us."

Ai Jiangtu grinned, then left with Ai Tutu.

Watching the two leave the arena, Wang Teng clicked his tongue. These brutes were really decisive; they came and went as they pleased.

He sat down, but the way people looked at him was quite different; they had heard everything clearly.

The Nationalist government's pre-selected members actually came to meet me because of my reputation, and even wanted to give me their votes.

What explosive news!
