Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 36 The Upheaval in Bo City

As the great battle raged in the land of demons, large numbers of lone or small groups of demons began to scatter.

Bo City could not escape its fate after all; the number of times it was attacked by demons was rapidly increasing.

Just three months later, Bo City triggered the first level of orange alert, and hundreds of slave-level demons gathered and headed towards Bo City.

Although it did not pose a fatal threat, it cast a shadow over the city.

The presence of giant-eyed gorillas and one-eyed wolves that occasionally intrude into the city has made many people live in constant fear, always on edge.

The demonic attack plunged the city's magicians into a frenzy, since defending the city and going out hunting were two different things.

The city's monster-hunting teams are always busy hunting monsters and earning a lot of bounties, while the monster-hunting mages help defend the city and also earn generous rewards.

The blue alert level is well within Bo City's tolerance range. Rather than a warning, it's more like the demons giving humans a treat.

Of course, there are also unlucky mages who are killed by demons.

The surplus of demon materials even drove down the price of magical tools.

"It really is two different worlds..."

Wang Teng rode his electric scooter, zipping around on various highways. The ordinary people on the road all looked more or less dejected.

However, the monk they encountered was full of energy, with a smile hidden beneath his serious expression, clearly indicating that he had been doing quite well these past few months.

Of course, his gains were also considerable, as he came out every day to enjoy the cool morning air and collect gifts from humans.

"It's really strange. Even though it was just a commander-level winged wolf in the original story, there are quite a few high-level mages here. Why didn't anyone organize a decapitation strike immediately?"

"Can't even protect the city? That's really suspicious..."

Wang Teng considered the high-level combat power of Bocheng and felt that it was not inferior at all, including Mu Zhuoyun, the principal, the leader of the Hunter Alliance, the military mage Zhan Kong, and so on.

So many people could easily kill a single Winged Wolf. As for the outer defenses, there was nothing that could be done. It's understandable that they couldn't stop the overwhelming numbers.

However, at first only Winged Wolf rushed into the city, and the other demon tribes did not attract any attention at all. Otherwise, the Black Church would not have been so obsessed with the Holy Spring.

In the original work, only Zhan Kong made an appearance, while everyone else was just there for show? Or were they too afraid to fight? But that's also possible!

Wang Teng had no choice but to assume the worst about others, because in this world, there are plenty of traitors and double agents.

No matter what you do, there are always traitors; no matter what major event occurs, there are always traitors active in the midst of it all.

"At worst, I'll just frown and step behind the crowd!"

Wang Teng made up his mind, rode his electric scooter around a corner, and soon arrived at the school gate.

"Wang Teng, you bastard, I've finally met you."

"To be honest, what is your relationship with Teacher Tang Yue?"

When Mo Fan saw him, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran up to him, put his arm around his shoulder, and whispered angrily in his ear, questioning him.

"What do you think their relationship is?"

Wang Teng immediately gave him a knowing look and asked him a question.

"You~"

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Unexpectedly, truly unexpectedly, Mo Fan was shocked. Even encountering a demon in the servant advancement stage hadn't made him this momentarily stunned.

As a man who is secretly quite sassy, ​​he instantly understood what Wang Teng meant.

"Fake."

Wang Teng's face suddenly fell, and he rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, as if he hoped it was true, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"Phew~ I knew it! How could a repressed guy like you possibly win the favor of Goddess Tang Yue?"

Mo Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and kept patting his brother's shoulder with his right hand, as if to comfort his brother's low spirits.

"I also find you strange. You're usually quite busy, even more so than me, skipping classes. How come you're paying attention to me today?" Wang Teng said, pushing Mo Fan's hand away.

"No one can compare to someone like you who can make money while lying down."

"I still have a family to support, and I've been busy making money lately."

Mo Fan grinned as he spoke, realizing he had really made a lot of money. In addition, he could also enrich his combat experience and even improve his magic skills. It was truly a win-win situation.

"What brings you two together today?"

Tang Yue was standing at the foot of the teaching building when she saw the two of them walking in intimately, which was quite a rare sight.

"It's nothing, it's nothing~"

Mo Fan quickly waved his hand, afraid that Wang Teng would say something he shouldn't, and responded first, occasionally turning his head to give him a meaningful look.

Tang Yue narrowed her eyes and met Wang Teng's gaze. Seeing his calm look, she then turned her attention to Mo Fan.

"Alright, class is about to start."

……

As the academic year progresses, there are more and more practical classes, and you can't prepare for the magic-based college entrance exams without fluent magic skills.

Even to get into a top university, having mastered the basics to the maximum level is a prerequisite, since there are just too many mages applying and top universities only have a limited number of places available.

The intensity of the competition is daunting.

Just like the Pearl Academy, only intermediate-level mages can enter the main campus. If they fail to meet the requirements within the specified time, they may be expelled from the Qing Campus and will no longer be able to identify themselves as students of the Pearl Academy.

The time and effort required to move from the beginner to the intermediate level without resources is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But as the saying goes, the world is full of temptations, and who can remain single-mindedly focused on the cultivation of the demonic path?

Among the current graduating class of Tianlan Magic High School, only a handful are capable of gaining admission to a prestigious institution like Mingzhu Academy.

Most of them can only go to ordinary colleges and universities, or if they can't get in, they can only graduate from high school and choose to become hunter mages or try to join other forces to make a living.

"Mo Fan, don't say you caught it from me when you left school. If I don't go to practice, you won't go either?"

On a bench by the playground, Wang Teng glanced speechlessly at Mo Fan, who had come with him to slack off. This guy had been hunting too many demons lately and didn't care about target practice anymore.

"Alright, alright..."

"By the way, what stage have you reached in your cultivation? I've tried sensing you many times, but I haven't been able to detect your approximate level."

"That's really strange~" Mo Fan said with great curiosity.

He has lost interest in practical classes. He only comes back to school occasionally when there are no assignments. If there were assignments, he would be out making money by now.

Compared to training, Wang Teng actually interests him more. He can usually sense the people in his class to some extent, and he roughly knows their levels.

However, his mental energy would disappear every time he got close to Wang Teng, and the other party's magical energy fluctuations were almost subtle, which aroused his curiosity.

"You keep trying even though you can't sense it. Don't you know that's very impolite?"

Wang Teng shook his head, then closed his eyes to rest, ignoring him.

Over the past three months, his progress has been very encouraging. The development of demonic arts has been very rapid. In addition to the two demonic arts he already has, he has added another attack method: Void Piercing.

This sorcery allows him to freely generate void spikes within his controlled domain for spatial attacks.

Not only is its power considerable, but its attack direction is also unrestricted, and its unpredictable attack angles make this sorcery extremely difficult to defend against.

Thanks to his current mastery level, his research and development speed has greatly accelerated, and his control over the void has been greatly enhanced.

The next step is naturally the void teleportation he has been longing for. Once he completes this demonic technique, even a monarch-level being will not be able to catch him easily.
