Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 49 Mu Ningxue likes Cheng Xiao? Want some dog food?!

The team was of one mind and decided to charge straight through the tunnel.

Zheng Bingxiao summoned her summoned beast—the Rock Demon—to lead the way.

Rock Golems are slow for their level, but they are tough and have strong defense.

Of course, its towering size means it can only be used as a bulldozer in this situation.

Secondly, with the two wind-element mages Liao Mingxuan and Shen Mingxiao leading the charge, they could retreat in the shortest possible time.

In the middle are three light-element mages acting as light bulbs, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

With Captains Cheng Xiao and Mu Ningxue at the back, they could handle any situation that might arise.

"I inquired about your affairs in Bocheng after our sparring session," Mu Ningxue said in a low voice.

"What, are you secretly investigating me?" Cheng Xiao laughed.

"No, I'm just curious about what you've been through to become so powerful in just a few years," Mu Ningxue explained.

"To be honest, I don't really believe it myself. If I had to say, I guess I'm just lucky." Cheng Xiao clearly didn't want to reveal too much.

Lucky Mu Ningxue felt envious when she heard this word.

She awakened her magic at the age of fourteen and has been practicing it for six years now.

His cultivation level has now reached the late stage of the middle level, but despite this, he still lost to Cheng Xiao.

He lost to Cheng Xiao, who had previously failed to awaken.

Although she was happy for Cheng Xiao, her childhood friend, it was impossible for her to be completely indifferent.

Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by a series of strange cries.

Not far ahead of the group, many hunchbacked monsters wielding bone clubs attacked.

"It's a cave demon slave!" Jingjing recognized the species of this demon at a glance.

The cave demon slaves are only slightly larger than normal people, with unusually thick arms, and they love to kill living things by smashing them with bone clubs.

"Ice Lock."

Just as Mu Ningxue was about to make a move, Cheng Xiao stopped her:

"Leave it to me."

Mu Ningxue looked at him with a puzzled expression, but didn't ask any further questions.

Cheng Xiao released sixteen shadow one-eyed demon wolf soldiers to protect the team!

These sixteen shadowy one-eyed demon wolf soldiers have accompanied Cheng Xiao in battle since Bo City.

Cheng Xiao could sense that they were about to advance to the Warrior level, which would be a good opportunity for them to gain experience.

"Sixteen? Six more than when we sparred before. So he really didn't use his full strength?" Liao Mingxuan couldn't help but say.

"Not only did we not use our full strength, our captain practically let you have your cake and eat it too," Zhao Manyan laughed.

"You know, when we entered the main campus for the assessment, our captain released a hundred undead, which were then fought off by a thousand mid-level mages!"

"One hundred?"

The people at the Imperial Capital Academy clearly didn't believe it; it was simply impossible.

But when they saw the people from Mingzhu Academy looking at them like they were idiots, the exchange students from the capital wavered again.

Could it really be true?

But how could someone release a hundred undead in a mid-level domain?

Even a high-level necromancer would have a hard time, right?

"Is what they said true?" Mu Ningxue couldn't believe it either, and asked Cheng Xiao beside her for confirmation.

"Yes." Cheng Xiao nodded with a smile.

Mu Ningxue recalled the question she had asked Cheng Xiao during their previous sparring session.

She asked Cheng Xiao if he had shown his full strength, and Cheng Xiao replied that it was only barely.

Now, she understands completely.

It's barely acceptable because it summoned two of the strongest warriors.

As for the remaining ninety undead that haven't been thrown out yet, it's to give the Imperial Academy some face!

Mu Ningxue's pride was dealt another blow, and she stared at Cheng Xiao, speaking softly:

"You're a monster!"

"How can you swear at people?"

Cheng Xiao was secretly delighted. It was quite amusing to see this proud young woman's defenses crumble like this.

Their conversation was naturally noticed by their teammates.

Although we were some distance apart, I couldn't hear the details of what they were talking about.

But judging from their expressions alone, they looked like they were flirting.

These two captains just had a sparring match a few days ago, how come they've suddenly become so familiar?

"Why are our team captains chatting so happily with the captain of the exchange student team from Beijing? Could they be getting together in a few days?" Zheng Bingxiao couldn't help but ask.

"I'd heard before that the captain was very charming, and that all the girls around him would come up to him. Now it seems the captain really does have a way with women," Zhao Manyan started gossiping.

"Don't make wild guesses. Brother Cheng and Ning Xue have known each other since they were kids," Mo Fan explained.

"."

Mu Nujiao walked in the middle of the group and heard the news about Cheng Xiao and Mu Ningxue flirting. She felt extremely upset.

No matter what, she was Cheng Xiao's woman, and now she was acting like the victim, but she didn't know how to explain it and could only keep it to herself.

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

Hearing Mo Fan come out and explain made her feel a little better.

The gossip around the universities in the capital is different.

"I've noticed that it's always the captain who initiates conversations with Cheng Xiao. Do you think the captain might have a crush on Cheng Xiao?"

"That's highly likely. The captain may seem aloof, but he's just not familiar with us."

"It's said that women admire strong men, and it seems that's true now. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the captain's love turned into hatred."

Lu Zhenghe's face twitched when he heard the rumors his teammates were spreading.

Ever since Lu Zhenghe entered the Imperial Capital Academy, he has been secretly in love with Mu Ningxue.

Although Mu Ningxue ignored Lu Zhenghe completely, the latter had already regarded Mu Ningxue as his own.

Hearing the rumors about his teammates now makes Lu Zhenghe feel even worse than if he had been cheated on!

Lu Zhenghe's face gradually darkened, and he thought to himself:

"Cheng Xiao, is it? You've offended me time and time again, and you even dared to try and steal Ning Xue away. You're courting death! I'll make you pay the price!"

..............................

With Cheng Xiao's shadow soldiers protecting them, everyone passed through the tunnel smoothly without any casualties.

They found a water source near the railway tracks and checked for any demons in the vicinity.

After confirming it was safe, we began setting up the tent.

Mu Nujiao found Cheng Xiao and asked:

"You and Mu Ningxue have known each other since you were little?"

"Yeah, we were closer when we were kids." Cheng Xiao saw through her little scheme and couldn't help but laugh.

Are you jealous?

"No, I'm not that petty. I just... don't want to keep our relationship a secret like this anymore," Mu Nujiao said in a very soft voice.

"I didn't intend to hide it, it's just that you've been shy and kept it to yourself." Cheng Xiao said helplessly.

Mu Nujiao couldn't refute it; it was indeed because she was too cowardly that her relationship with Cheng Xiao had become so strained.

"I... I don't want to hide it anymore," Mu Nujiao said.

"Shall I announce it?" Cheng Xiao asked.

Mu Nujiao looked puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

At this moment, Zhao Manyan walked over and asked:

"Captain, when is dinner?"

"Food?" Cheng Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you want some dog food?"

"What?"

Zhao Manyan did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

Then, Cheng Xiao cupped Mu Nujiao's face and kissed her.
