Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 218 Extremely Rich

"Brother Wang Teng, is what you're saying true? Where are you now?"

Kuroba couldn't wait to ask, "If Luo Mian could be cleansed of his huge stain on the Lingyin Tribunal, that would be wonderful."

"Oh, it's Brother Kuroba. I'm in Australia. I met Luo Mian deep in the desert. This guy was planning to take a Great Earth-type Heavenly Seed, but I intercepted it."

"Then, he was ambushed by a monarch-level demon surrounding the Great Celestial Seed, and was severely injured by a single punch. He was eventually killed by me, and his soul is now in my hands."

Wang Teng was surprised to find someone near Tang Yue; it seemed the call was made near the courtroom.

"Good lad! Black Feather, book your plane ticket first thing tomorrow morning and fly over there to bring Luo Mian's soul back for judgment!"

"Hmm~ To make it easier to stay in touch, Tang Yue, you should come along too!"

Tang Zhong was slightly excited. After running for so long, Luo Mian had unexpectedly fallen into Wang Teng's hands in the end.

"By the way, this matter should not be publicized for the time being, as it will affect Wang Teng's training in the National Team. It should only be known to the higher-ups."

"Understood!" ×10

Tang Zhong nodded, then looked at his phone and said, "After this is over, I will report to my mentor at the National Government. You can continue your training without worry; you will receive all the rewards you are entitled to."

"good!"

Wang Teng hung up the call with satisfaction, put away his phone, and then began to take stock of his resources. As a super-level mage, Luo Mian had an extremely rich inventory.

He dared to accept bribes while in office and even produced problematic blood products, so it's no wonder that he had over 10 billion in funds.

"We also have high-end versions of this life-saving drug, five vials in total, worth 1 million."

"Two Monarch-level essences and one Star Sea Magic Artifact, though the magic energy is depleted, its value remains extraordinary."

"This old bastard actually still has a top-grade Star Sea Celestial Vein in his possession! He's a collector!"

"A top-tier wind-type soul seed. It's a bit of a shame it doesn't have a domain, but the multiplier is 5x, and it has the Black Wind effect, which can attack the spirit. It's an excellent effect."

Wang Teng happily stored the good stuff into his spatial bracelet. This wave of wealth made him incredibly rich. He crushed the rest of his personal belongings and buried them in the ground.

After thinking for a moment, he put the five life potions into the third floor of the Hall of Heroes, and then put the top-grade Star Sea Heavenly Vein in as well.

The Star Sea Magic Artifact is in the shape of a bracelet. After activating it slightly and sensing it, I found that it was slightly inferior to my necklace. It was made based on a monarch-level essence, but the quality was excellent.

"We don't need this for now, we can keep it as a keepsake."

Thinking of Tang Yue and Ding Yumin, both of his girlfriends have top-tier Star River Magic Artifacts to use, so they don't need Star Sea Magic Artifacts for the time being.

The Star Sea Demon Artifact that Jiang Shaoxu carried was initially given to her temporarily to increase her cultivation speed. Whether it could be taken back afterward depended on the situation.

But now it seems he's too embarrassed to take it back. The Star Sea Magic Artifact might be important to others, but it's of no use to him anymore.

"As expected, feelings develop over time..."

Wang Teng shook his head, then used a monarch-level essence to fully charge the Star Sea Demon Artifact and stored it in the third level of the Hall of Heroes. He could devour the remaining monarch-level essence to enhance his soul's origin.

There was also a large earth-type Heavenly Seed, which he carefully placed in an earth-type container and stored on the third shelf of the Hall of Heroes.

His consciousness sank into his own private top floor, where he saw a row of rare collectibles on the wall shelves. He was immediately very satisfied and, after admiring them for a while, exited the space.

After sensing the surrounding area and finding no one, Wang Teng entered the void and began to absorb the essence of a monarch-level spirit. His gaze was fixed on the spirit, and the terrifying devouring power rapidly extracted its essence.

A wave of comfort washed over him, and his spiritual power was increasing at an explosive rate, rapidly expanding his range and clarity of perception.

Before long, as the devouring continued, the essence dimmed and quickly turned gray and dissipated.

"My soul power has almost doubled, but it's still far from that of a Grand Monarch. I haven't felt any difference at all."

Wang Teng felt his monarchical aura become even more terrifying, thanks to the improvement of his soul. Compared to the demon realm, the soul aspect alone is easier to improve through talent.

Two hours later, he finally managed to control and suppress this oppressive feeling, and his breathing returned to calm.

"Time to continue exploring the desert!"

Wang Teng broke free from the void, circled around a few times, and returned to the foot of the mountain. He passed through the tunnel and gradually disappeared into the night.

This Australian demon empire was much more interesting than he had imagined, with large and small demon tribes roaming in groups.

Each demon tribe is guaranteed to have at least one monarch-level leader, who commands about ten tribes. The number of tribes ranges from several thousand to countless.

For example... desert red ants!

"That's absolutely terrifying!"

Wang Teng ventured deeper into the inner perimeter and began circling the core area. Since his main task was to search for resources, his pace was slow.

I never expected to stumble upon the nest of desert red ants so soon, and I truly witnessed what it means to be swarming everywhere.

Both the ground and the sky were covered in fiery red, stretching for kilometers as far as the eye could see.

The areas inhabited by desert red ants are significantly warmer than other regions; the temperature in the outer ring alone exceeds 100 degrees Celsius.

It was even constantly radiating heat outwards, making it a veritable furnace.

"Let's go in and take a look..."

Wang Teng carefully concealed his aura, taking steps one by one towards the interior. As he entered the monarch level, he delved deeper and deeper into the void.

Even if they are on the same trajectory, they will not interfere with each other in different spatial dimensions, unless a higher level of power penetrates through the layers of space to sense him hidden within.

After venturing hundreds of meters deeper, the desert red ant grew larger, reaching the level of a warrior general. Its body was the size of a fist, with a metallic texture and a dazzling red color.

After going more than a kilometer deeper, Wang Teng stopped. This area was close to the core zone, which was much less dense than the outer area and became slightly sparser.

In the direction of vision, a crater hundreds of meters high appeared about a kilometer ahead, with intense red light spreading out like mist and drifting towards the sky.

Countless desert red ants drifted and surged in the sky, like fiery clouds, their reflected red light turning the earth into a scene of fiery hell.

Every now and then, desert red ants, comparable in size to a human, fall from the sky, burning all the way down, and eventually fall into the crater.

However, desert red ants are already used to this scene. No matter how many fall, it will not attract their attention. Instead, more desert red ants will rush in to bake.

"What a savage evolution..."

Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh that the desert red ants hadn't gone astray, but the sacrifices were great, and not every one of them had that kind of aptitude and potential.

Even if demons have abundant vitality, they cannot cultivate and improve indefinitely. In the entire world of magic, only the Antarctic Emperor has achieved this; most others perish along the way.
