Upon entering the ancient capital, the villagers of Huacun heard shocking news from the guards and sorcerers at the city gates: "All six dilapidated villages around Xianchi have been ravaged by the spirits of the dead, with very few survivors!"

The villagers of Huacun felt a sense of relief at that moment, knowing they hadn't chosen to stay in Huacun any longer.

Otherwise, the outcome wouldn't have been much better, and they all expressed their gratitude to Lin Chen and the others.

Lin Chen then noticed that, in addition to shock, a strange look flashed across the village chief's expression.

Lin Chen found the village chief strange, but couldn't remember what had happened to him, so he decided to leave with Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and the others, leaving the village chief Xie Sang and the others to handle the rest of the matters themselves.

But when it was time to leave, another problem arose. Zhang Xiaohou only knew Su Xiaoluo and had no intention of leaving with Lin Chen and the others. Meanwhile, the military region said that Zhang Xiaohou's instructor was on a mission and had not yet returned.

With no other option, Lin Chen and Mo Fan had to let Zhang Xiaohou stay with Su Xiaoluo for the time being, while they themselves would stay in the ancient capital for a few more days.

During his casual conversation with the short man, Mo Fan learned that some people from Bo City had moved to the ancient capital. With nothing else to do, he took Lin Chen and Liu Ru to the street occupied by the people of Bo City to see how his hometown people were doing.

On this street called Huili Street, Mo Fan unexpectedly ran into his old classmate Zhao Kunsan. Following Zhao Kunsan's notification, the manipulative Mu Bai quickly arrived, and through Mu Bai's contact...

They also invited Mo Fan's high school classmates Zhou Min and Wang Sanpang to the event, which was the only high school reunion Mo Fan and his classmates had held since the disaster in Bo City.

In an authentic Shaanxi restaurant, Mo Fan and his classmates gathered in a private room. Liu Ru, not being familiar with these people, did not join them and instead went to find Su Xiaoluo and the others.

As for Lin Chen, since he had saved Mu Bai and the others in Bo City, they were acquainted and had some interaction, so he was also pulled over by Mo Fan.

After chatting briefly, the group started talking about their cultivation progress.

"How's your cultivation at the Wild Goose Pagoda going?" Mu Bai asked first, but his target was Zhou Min.

"How dare I mention my cultivation level in front of our Great Mo Fan?" Zhou Min raised her voice a little and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Guided by Zhou Min, everyone's attention turned to Mo Fan, wanting to know what level the former number one genius of Tianlan Magic High School had reached now.

"My strength is just average, only at the second level of the intermediate rank," Mo Fan said modestly.

"What? Only a mid-level level two? That's the same as me." Zhou Min naturally didn't believe it. Taking advantage of Mo Fan's inattention, she directly probed Mo Fan's body with her mind. As soon as she detected a nebula on Mo Fan's body, Mo Fan chased it away. She pouted unhappily: "It really is a level two nebula."

"I already said, I'm just average." Mo Fan smiled modestly.

"By the way, Lin Chen, how's your strength now?" Mu Bai asked Lin Chen.

As soon as Mu Bai finished speaking, everyone except Mo Fan turned their attention to Lin Chen. After all, the Agumon that Lin Chen had summoned had surprised them greatly, as it had instantly killed a Dark Wolf Beast with the strength of a Great Servant.

"I'm just average, I don't even have a contracted beast," Lin Chen said modestly.

Just as Mu Bai and the others were feeling disappointed, thinking that Lin Chen had become ordinary over time,

Mo Fan, being extremely uncooperative, exposed Lin Chen's deception.

"Lin Chen's strength is indeed average, but he has already been selected as a member of the National Team," Mo Fan said.

"What?! It's already been decided!" Zhou Min's eyes widened. She had been working very hard to cultivate during this period, but she didn't even have a chance to pass the nomination competition, while Lin Chen had already been decided.

"Of course, this guy's strength is off the charts. If we give him the spot, no one will dare to object," Mo Fan said.

"Lin Chen, just how strong are you?" Mu Bai asked, very curious.

"They can only fight against ordinary high-level mages," Lin Chen said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Lin Chen was only about the same age as them, yet his strength was already comparable to that of the older generation. It was truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.

To prevent everyone from continuing the conversation and getting teased by Lin Chen, Wang Sanpang quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, isn't Xu Zhaoting from the same school as you? I heard he found a girlfriend, but as you know, he always only reports good news and not bad. How's he been doing lately?"

"We're not in the same department, so I don't know much about him. But he's been doing pretty well lately. About half a year ago, he was in some danger. If Lin Chen hadn't arrived in time, Xu Zhaoting would have been killed by the Black Vatican," Mo Fan said.

"What's going on?" A look of horror flashed in the eyes of Wang Sanpang and the others.

Mo Fan then gave a brief account of what had happened.

"The Black Vatican is truly despicable. Sooner or later, it will be wiped out of the world." Wang Sanpang said angrily. He and Xu Zhaoting were brothers in arms. His brother was almost killed, which made the fat on Wang Sanpang's face tremble a few times.

"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Zhou Min, aren't you on duty tonight? Why don't a few of us follow you to the city wall and kill a few undead to vent our anger? It'll be a contribution to the ancient capital." Wang Sanpang suggested.

"Aren't we going to karaoke?" Zhao Kun asked, somewhat puzzled, since he had already booked a private room.

"All you know is KTV. Class reunions are all about eating and KTV all in one go. What's the point? You know we're magicians. Fighting monsters and leveling up is what's exciting!" Wang Sanpang said with great pride.

"Okay, I came here secretly to see everyone today. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough credits and was going to give up next month's resources. Now that I'm going, not only will I not lose any credits, but I might even be able to improve my ranking." Zhou Min nodded in agreement.

"I'm fine with it too, I'm just itching to try it out." Mo Fan smiled.

Previously, whether it was going to find Zhang Xiaohou or escorting the villagers of Huacun back, in order to prevent time from being wasted and to prevent being surrounded by the undead, Lin Chen was the one who dealt with the undead. Mo Fan didn't really have to lift a finger. This time, however, he was going to have a good time killing them.

After dinner, everyone followed Zhou Min to the outer city wall. Her post was at the northwest corner of the city, where there were fewer undead than in the other city areas, making it a good place for students to train and improve their rankings.

Walking up the city wall, Zhou Min led Lin Chen and the others to a corner tower.

Entering the corner tower, one finds many people moving about inside, including association mages, hunter mages, and military mages.

The student area looked like a small inn, with many people selling medicines and magical items at stalls.

After passing through the crowd, Zhou Min arrived at a separate room. Just as she was about to introduce Lin Chen and the others to the people inside, a very unfriendly voice rang out.

"Anyone not wearing the Mage's Seal, please leave immediately. This is not a place for idlers to observe."
