Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 19 Old Zhang's Invitation

The environment in the land of demons is generally quite harsh, and the resources are ironically found in those dangerous places.

His sorcery allows him to manipulate objects from a considerable distance, which greatly enhances his security.

However, this demonic technique is more complex than the Void Stealth technique, and it is more difficult to study. Fortunately, the difficulty has decreased considerably since the spiritual power has broken through to the fourth realm.

Furthermore, even without focused training, mind magic is extremely compatible with mental power, and by simply absorbing magical energy through daily meditation, one can already reach the intermediate level two.

Secondly, spatial magic has also reached the second level of the initial stage. The difficulty of improving spatial magic is much greater than that of mental magic.

"Wang Teng, and Xu Zhaoting, you two come out with me for a moment."

Old Zhang's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts, and then he saw Zhang Jianguo looking in his direction, as well as the envious looks from the other classmates.

Wang Teng got up and walked out of the classroom, and Xu Zhaoting followed him.

"Alright, everyone, please try to keep quiet while studying."

After saying that, Old Zhang led the two of them out of the classroom.

However, instead of heading towards the teachers' office, he continued climbing towards the roof.

Wang Teng and Xu Zhaoting exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly filled with questions, before following in Lao Zhang's footsteps.

The three of them went straight to the rooftop, where the rooftop was surrounded by high walls, iron railings, and barbed wire. From here, they could see almost half of Bocheng.

"Tell me, you two, can you cast spells?"

Zhang Jianguo wore a kind smile, as if he were chatting with an old friend, but the unease in his eyes betrayed him.

"Teacher, I've successfully cast my lightning magic once!"

Xu Zhaoting raised his small face with considerable pride and replied confidently.

"Good, good, good... Xu Zhaoting, you did very well. As your teacher, I am really happy."

Old Zhang's eyes were filled with joy. He had a safety net, and half of his expectations had been met. Then he turned his gaze back to Wang Teng.

"And you, Wang Teng?"

Xu Zhaoting was also staring intently at him, probably expecting something in his heart.

"Don't worry, I said there wouldn't be a problem, and I will definitely keep my word."

"Lingyi—Soothe!"

Wang Teng remained calm, hands in his pockets, and with a flick of his lips, a bolt of lightning flashed past him, releasing the mind-based magic Soothing, which enveloped the three of them before abruptly stopping.

"This...this...could this be the legendary 'One Thought Star Trail'?"

Old Zhang exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening as he felt his heart being soothed. Even though he was shocked, he couldn't get excited, which was very strange.

He was somewhat knowledgeable; there were rumors online about magicians' ability to control star trails with a single thought, though he rarely saw them.

Xu Zhaoting's arrogant little eyes instantly turned ashen, like a defeated rooster, and he became dejected. He couldn't have done what Wang Tenglu just did.

Looking back on past efforts and pride, they all seem to have turned into a joke at this moment.

I can't do anything!

Wang Teng grinned, quite pleased with Lao Zhang's ignorant look, and also pleased with his exclamations and flattery.

Performing in public always requires an audience, and both Xu Zhaoting and Lao Zhang are excellent audience members.

He also sensed Xu Zhaoting's happiness. As the ancients said, all things in the world are eternal; there will be neither more nor less, but they will simply shift from one another.

Wang Teng deeply agreed, believing that the unhappiness wouldn't lessen; it had simply shifted from a smiling face to his own.

"Good, good...you did it!"

After Wang Teng stopped the magic, Old Zhang's excitement and joy finally showed on his face; this time, his chances of winning were very high.

Wang Teng naturally noticed his joy, but the initial happiness often doesn't last.

If nothing unexpected happens, there are at least three people in Class 8 who can unleash magic: Mu Bai, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou...

Currently, the only people in Class 7 known to be able to unleash magic are him and Xu Zhaoting; the others still have a considerable gap to close.

The seventh star often stumps many people because they lack mental strength and are simply unable to fully control it.

I'm already exhausted from being caressed by my wife every day, and you want me to go in a little deeper? That's too difficult!

This results in the difficulty increasing with each connection of a star, becoming exceptionally difficult with the seventh star.

If you get even slightly distracted, you basically won't be able to cast a spell.

The release of magic requires a stable and peaceful mental world; otherwise, one cannot even see stardust, let alone connect with star particles.

"Come on, come on... Today is a good day. Come sit at my place after school this afternoon. I'm going to treat you to a big meal."

As a teacher, he still has a private room to live in at the school.

Clearly in a particularly good mood today, he was preparing to reward the two heroes of his class, especially Wang Teng.

Just thinking about the assessment, Wang Teng's "One Thought Star Track" technique would definitely dazzle everyone present.

This also makes him look good!

"Ah~ okay, okay." Xu Zhaoting replied somewhat bewildered, clearly quite shaken.

"Haha~ Zhaoting, don't compare yourself to Wang Teng. You should think of it this way: in the entire grade, the number of people who can cast magic is probably no more than a handful."

"Looking at it this way, you're already very outstanding."

Old Zhang patted Xu Zhaoting's shoulder with a hearty laugh, while his other arm was around Wang Teng's shoulder, as if afraid he would run away.

Wang Teng was somewhat speechless at Lao Zhang's enthusiasm, but since he had already invited him, he couldn't refuse. Besides, the atmosphere was just right, so he didn't intend to refuse.

After Zhang Jianguo went downstairs, he didn't go back to the classroom with the two of them, after all, he still needed to be mindful of the impact.

Wang Teng hadn't expected Lao Zhang to pull this stunt. It was the first time he'd ever been invited to dinner by his teacher, and it felt rather novel.

"Hey Wang Teng, should we go buy something to take with us? It doesn't feel right to go empty-handed, does it?"

Outside the classroom door, Xu Zhaoting grabbed Wang Teng's clothes again, his face showing a conflicted expression.

"Hmm, you have a point. So, have you decided what to buy?"

"Fruit? Or wine?"

Wang Teng glanced at Xu Zhaoting in surprise, not expecting this guy to be so polite.

"Uh~"

What do you think?

Xu Zhaoting scratched his head awkwardly. He couldn't make a decision either. It was just a thought that popped into his head in an instant. As for what to buy, he really hadn't thought about it.

"Never mind, I'll prepare the gift. I'll leave a little early after school, just wait for me at the school gate."

Wang Teng was also a bit speechless, but he decided to learn from the Western way and bring two bottles of wine!

Anyway, there's still a lot of wine left at home, and it would be a waste to leave it unused.

"Okay then, we can split the cost between us later."

Xu Zhaoting was surprised that Wang Teng was so reliable, and he smiled happily. He liked people like this, who made him feel relaxed and happy without having to worry.

Wang Teng watched him turn and enter the classroom, his expression full of strangeness.

Although his family's red wine wasn't expensive, it wasn't exactly cheap either; otherwise, Tang Yue wouldn't always enjoy a glass or two whenever she came to his house.
