Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 329 A Hall Full of Congratulations

Of course, my Hall of Heroes will not be much worse than that of the ancient King Khufu, and it will complement the cultivation of demonic arts.

He believes that by combining the two, the future is promising and the system will not be much inferior to those two.

Wang Teng was determined to follow the path he wanted to take and believed that he could forge a great road to success.

Half an hour later, the private kitchen restaurant was ready.

"Welcome back, heroes of our National Government Team!" Director Wei cheered excitedly.

Standing in front were Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy, Judges Tang Zhong and Li Tian of the Trial Council, followed by Vice Judges Hei Yu and Leng Qing, Professor Russell of Mingzhu Academy, and Professors Zhang and Xue of Tianlan Magic High School.

"Thank you so much for coming, leaders. I'm truly flattered and don't deserve your hospitality..."

Wang Teng kept smiling obsequiously. Good heavens, the scene was even more exciting than he had imagined. In addition to the heavyweights in front, there were also many new faces he had never seen before.

"Haha...you lad, come sit down, don't be so modest!" Dean Xiao laughed heartily, patting Wang Teng on the shoulder to ease his embarrassment.

"Just treat it like a regular banquet, no need to be too formal." Tang Zhong patted Wang Teng on the back with enthusiasm and pulled him to sit down.

"Okay, okay~" Wang Teng smiled and readily accepted, then sat down.

"Let's begin! Let's all raise our glasses and drink!"

Those who hadn't had a chance to speak finally smiled as they began to enjoy the meal.

Before long, after three or five rounds of baijiu (Chinese liquor), the conversation quickly became lively.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to chat with Wang Teng; there were only a limited number of people present. Of course, it was still possible to become acquainted with him.

"When you come back this time, you'd better give me a good speech at school and pass on some experience to the younger students," Director Wei said half-jokingly, raising his wine glass.

"Okay, okay... I'll make time to go~" Wang Teng readily agreed again, and lightly clinked glasses with Director Wei.

"Brother Wang Teng, you'd better hurry up and apply for graduation. I'm really looking forward to seeing you shine," Hei Yu said happily, raising his glass.

"Don't worry, don't worry~ It'll be ready soon." Wang Teng refilled his glass and happily clinked glasses with Hei Yu.

After finishing, he took a break. Wang Teng was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the crowd, but he still had to deal with the congratulations.

"Speaking of which, the National University Tournament has been held for more than 30 sessions so far, and this is the first time we have won the championship."

"Wang Teng, you are far more outstanding than we were back then." Dean Xiao sighed with emotion, as if recalling his own past glories.

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng felt a jolt run through his body. How could he possibly respond to such a remark? Who could possibly accept such a thing from a hidden forbidden spellcaster like himself?

"The dean flatters me too much. It was just a coincidence, and I was just a little lucky."

Dean Xiao turned her head to look at him, and said with a half-smile, "Really?"

"Do you think I'm too old to sense the super-level aura emanating from you? This level of strength is at least three levels above the previous level."

This single word shattered Wang Teng's magical realm, leaving the eavesdropping crowd speechless in astonishment.

What the hell?

Super Three?

However, looking at the two presiding judges sitting around Wang Teng, their expressions were calm and they did not speak, as if they had tacitly agreed.

This left everyone feeling as if they'd been struck by lightning. The participants in the National Tournament were usually high-level mages; it was impossible for a super-level mage to appear.

This means that the other party broke through to the super-level in about a month and maxed out their single-element cultivation in one go.

That's terrifying!

Is this even human?

Wang Teng smiled silently, not denying Dean Xiao's words, which was considered an admission of agreement.

"Hahaha... Your talent and wit are indeed extraordinary. I was planning to tell you about it later, but now I can inform you in advance."

"After deliberation by the senior members of the Trial Council, it was decided that you would be nominated as a member of the Trial Council to fill the vacant seat."

Tang Zhong was in high spirits, a weight lifted from his heart. Anticipation was one thing, but only when talent truly translates into ability would it be real.

Even though he knew that Wang Teng's speed of improvement was abnormal, he couldn't help but worry, after all, it's only human nature.

Now that things have settled down, Wang Teng's performance is still surprising, and his outstanding talent remains unchanged.

The reason Li Tian came along today was naturally partly for inspection purposes.

Geniuses may be valued, but that doesn't mean they will be respected; only the strong enjoy that kind of treatment.

As soon as Wang Teng appeared, two people were quietly sensing him; naturally, they were the two people closest to him.

"Thank you all for your high regard. I will do my best to do what I should do," Wang Teng immediately responded earnestly.

"Don't worry, this is just an advance notice. A new notice will be issued at the trial later."

"After all, you have accumulated quite a few achievements, especially the capture of the major wanted criminal Luo Mian. This achievement alone is enough to qualify you for promotion."

Li Tian smiled and explained, dispelling everyone's doubts and preventing any suspicion of internal manipulation.

He didn't go into the details, but everyone present basically knew who Luo Mian was.

However, few people knew who arrested Luo Mian, as it was a secret involving Wang Teng's training in the National Government and had not been made public for the time being.

It was known only to senior leaders.

Now that the National Tournament has ended, it's natural to announce it. Besides, Wang Teng was originally a Judgement Envoy, and now he's a Super-Rank Mage.

Being nominated as a member of the trial council provides a legitimate reason, at least enough to silence most people.

Unlike presiding judges, councilors hold positions without real power, but possess a high status, an honor derived from their abilities.

Even the council members of the court magicians are the same, except that they have more say and their reasonable proposals are more likely to be adopted.

After all, no one would willingly clash with a powerful senator for no reason; the Royal Mage Order is, in fact, an organization of magical violence.

Whoever is stronger will naturally have more say.

Even if the members of the trial committee don't have real power, they still have a lot of influence. Who among the people below would dare not give them face?

Members of parliament generally do relatively few things, and they only take on very important tasks. Only those in positions of real power are the busiest, needing to be involved in everything, big or small, and of course, they wield great power.

"Congratulations to Councilor Wang Teng on his promotion..." +N

After Li Tian finished speaking, many shrewd people immediately offered their congratulations, and those who reacted later also chimed in.

Unlike the welcoming banquet we just had, which was merely a celebration of a genius.

Now, however, a young legislator is rising to prominence, which means two things at once.

This councilor is also from the Tribunal, which clearly distinguishes it from ordinary magical institutions.

Everyone's eyes are sharp; they know how high the reputation of the Trial Council is among the people, especially the junior and intermediate-level monks, who feel it most deeply.
