Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 174 High-Ranking Invitation

Every day, everyone is on duty defending the district from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., regardless of wind, rain, or scorching sun; it's a mission they have to take.

Just like today, the sky was dark and a light drizzle was falling. Everyone was fighting while getting soaked. The siren was especially active on rainy days.

"It's comparable to the Battle of Green Island..." Wang Teng wiped the rain off his face, looking at the jubilant siren, which seemed to have endless energy, stirring up the waves at will.

Jiang Shaoxu looked slightly haggard, her lips were pale, and her eyes were filled with fatigue as she intently surveyed the battlefield.

The siren doesn't attack constantly; it prefers to ambush, hiding underwater and darting about. As long as it doesn't come out, it's very difficult to deal with.

The group waited patiently until the tide receded, at which point they relaxed slightly and headed back towards the building.

"Mo Fan, what happened to you? You're injured again?"

Zhao Manyan looked at the stab wound on his calf, wondering which seafood buffet had eaten a mouthful of rice from it.

"I'm too weak to speak. Fire magic is much less effective in this damn weather than usual, while lightning magic works much better."

Mo Fan sighed. The environment has a great influence on the power of magic, and even the recovery of magical energy. Fortunately, he has lightning magic to use.

"The resources you requested will be delivered before this evening. You're going to be rich!" Zhao Manyan patted him on the shoulder.

"That's good~" Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this good news. It had been three days. As long as he had the resources, he was confident that he could break through to the high-level of lightning magic. Moreover, with control over the magic weapon, releasing high-level magic was not as difficult as he had imagined.

"It's not just yours, my resources have arrived too. The elimination day is getting closer and closer, so we must prepare early." Zhao Manyan was also a little nervous.

Nan Rongni followed beside Mu Tingying, glancing at her with her eyes and noticing that Mu Tingying's face looked extremely ugly, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

In the end, Mu Ningxue borrowed money from Wang Teng and bought resources from Zhao Manyan.

There are only two irreplaceable people in the team right now: Wang Teng and Ai Jiangtu. These two are simply overwhelming in terms of strength.

Among the remaining people, none of them are weak in combat. If they all break through to the high level, her combat strength will be somewhat worrying once the internal competition begins.

In the realm of destruction magic, she couldn't defeat either Mu Ningxue or Mo Fan; the three of them shared a similar magical style.

She was helpless against Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue. She was slightly better off against assassins, but dealing with the summoner Jiang Yu depended on the situation.

Based on the team's completeness, it's highly likely that the Destruction Mage will be eliminated, with a smaller chance of eliminating the Assassin or Zujimin.

"Jiang Fox, aren't you nervous?" Wang Teng naturally noticed the change in Mu Tingying's mood; she looked rather gloomy.

"Why should I be nervous? I won't be nervous even if I don't break through to the advanced level. Besides you, who in the team can't I spar with?"

Jiang Shaoxu slightly raised her head, and as she walked, she deliberately rubbed her shoulder against Wang Teng, her eyes full of teasing.

"Do you know that you look like a child?"

"What a pity~ I'm the man you can't have."

Wang Teng shook his head regretfully. It was just a little flirting, teasing, and taking advantage of someone; it wasn't a big deal. After all, Jiang Fox also liked playing these kinds of little games.

But if you really want to touch her, that would be very difficult. This woman is very shrewd and extremely slippery, unlike Mochizuki Chika.

"Oh, really? What I'm hearing is more like sour grapes."

Jiang Shaoxu squinted, put her left hand to her ear, and pretended to put her ear close to Wang Teng's chest, as if listening to what he was thinking.

Wang Teng narrowed his eyes and reached out to embrace that wet, alluring slender waist.

"Haha~ I guessed right." Jiang Shaoxu suddenly ducked, dodging Wang Teng's hunter, and smiled very happily.

"Childish~" Nan Jue muttered to herself. She really couldn't stand it anymore. These two were playing ambiguous games all day long. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were a couple.

Ai Jiangtu's face was calm as still water, his gaze seemingly unfocused, showing no interest in the trivial matters before him; he was only interested in studying magic.

Exhausted, everyone returned to the building and began to rest.

As time passed and resources from their backing forces arrived one after another, everyone spent their time cultivating behind closed doors, except for fighting.

In just two weeks, everyone broke through to the advanced level.

Of course, this is just a threshold and doesn't mean anything. Without a high level of cultivation, there's no chance of staying.

Even though they can't yet unleash high-level magic, their magical energy ceiling has indeed increased, and their combat endurance has improved.

As for control, sorry, that's still the exclusive domain of geniuses, not something that can be built up with just one or two resources.

Unless the forces behind it are willing to provide the domain soul seed, but is that even possible? Just think about it. Unless they've already arrived in Venice, they might be able to get a synthetically produced soul seed, but even then, the bonus would be very limited.

As for the first stage, the power behind them only provided the Star River Vein to help them break through to higher levels, which was already quite remarkable.

Chinese restaurants

"It's rare to see the two of you treating everyone to dinner today."

Wang Teng looked at Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Zhao Manyan. After their battle that day, the four of them had come to a restaurant for a meal.

"Haha~ It's really not easy for Mo Fan to treat us to a meal." Zhao Manyan laughed heartily.

"Old Zhao, am I that stingy?" Mo Fan asked with a cheerful smile as he peeled peanuts.

Both he and Mu Ningxue had broken through, which was a cause for celebration. The choice of whether to stay or leave was now in their own hands, so they were not worried at all.

"You're not stingy at all~ If you can be generous enough to spend a Domain Soul Seed at market price someday, I'll take back what I just said."

Zhao Manyan doesn't spoil Mo Fan, that little brat. He always gives him a "friendship price," which is something only he can afford.

"Hahaha...we'll talk about it later!" Mo Fan didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"You're really generous. By the way, when are you two going to your wedding...?"

Wang Teng looked at Mu Ningxue with a smile. The Star River Magic Artifact was hanging around her neck, while Mo Fan was the one who controlled it.

This time, 3 million yuan was put into Mu Ningxue's life. He emptied his pockets to support his goddess.

Mo Fan immediately gave Wang Teng a satisfied look, but dared not boast, "It's too early for that. I'll send you invitations when I have the chance."

A blush flashed across Mu Ningxue's face as she reached out from under the table and grabbed Mo Fan's outstretched hand.

This guy really won't behave unless you beat him; he's already getting cocky after just a little bit of a beating.

Mo Fan was experiencing both pain and joy. After this incident, Mu Ningxue finally opened her heart to him and was able to say some things that she had never dared to say before.
