Full-Time Magister: You're selling soul beasts in Shanghai?

Chapter 123 Reunion with Panijia, Mu's Cooperation

That evening, Xu Beichen received a message from Zhao Youqian saying that an important guest wanted to see him.

Xu Beichen arrived at the VIP room of the auction house. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by Pani Jia, who was dressed in a formal outfit, and the guardian knight responsible for protecting her.

After Pan Nijia's father, Xiao Shen, was promoted to Forbidden Spell, he directly assumed the position of Hall Master of the Trial Hall. Now, the Trial Hall's momentum is subtly overshadowing that of the Knights Hall.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Beichen looked surprised, but still smiled and gave her a hug.

Seeing this, the guardian knight Ark, who was standing nearby, immediately showed some displeasure, but dared not say anything.

As a Gold Knight, Ark naturally knew that the root cause of the current drastic changes in the Parthenon Temple was Xu Beichen.

Pan Nijia was able to compete with the First Saintess Ander entirely because of Xu Beichen's support.

What Ark found most unacceptable was that Her Highness the Saintess did not resist at all; in fact, she was quite compliant, like a kitten being comforted by its owner.

"I didn't expect you to have managed to win over the Mu family. We're here mainly to discuss things with them," Pan Nijia said truthfully.

"I see."

Xu Beichen then remembered that after discussing with the Mu family, Mu Gong and Fan Ning had stopped making any moves, and he had assumed that the Mu family disagreed.

Now it seems that the Mu clan has already made contact with the Parthenon.

It's understandable to imagine this, since the Mu family already possesses two forbidden spells. If they were to acquire another forbidden spell, they would undoubtedly become a force to be reckoned with, comparable to the Victorian aristocracy.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the old bastard Mu Rong of the Ice Emperor is not exposed.

Compared to Mu Gong and Fan Ning, Xu Beichen loathed Ice Emperor Mu Rong even more, a human traitor who had sided with the emperor of the far south.

"With the support of the Mu family, how confident are you?"

Xu Beichen played with the smooth little hand that he was reluctant to let go of, and said very bluntly.

Pan Nijia didn't care about Xu Beichen's teasing; on the contrary, she even seemed to enjoy it.

After a moment's thought, Panija said, "Ander also has quite a few supporters, but as long as she doesn't do anything underhanded, I'm more than 70% confident."

Pannija knew Ander's character well; she would never sit idly by and wait for death when faced with the position of goddess.

"Where is Asha'ruya?" Xu Beichen asked.

Panija paused for a moment, but still said, "She hasn't been in the temple lately; perhaps she's given up on the goddess election."

Xu Beichen raised an eyebrow. Did Asha Ruya really give up so easily?

Actually, there was another advantage to Xu Beichen supporting Pan Nijia as a goddess: at least Pan Nijia wouldn't harm Ander and Asha Ruya.

If Isa successfully resurrects, Asha's Azalea probably won't even be able to stay in the temple anymore.

Fortunately, Xu Beichen had already reduced Yi Zhisha's body to ashes, so it was impossible for Yi Zhisha to be resurrected even if she wanted to.

Although it's impossible to achieve all of Wen Tai's accomplishments, even if Isa were to be successfully resurrected, she would only be in a state equivalent to an undead.

Even one Nine Netherworld Queen couldn't handle it, so Xu Beichen had no interest in bringing in another one, especially since it posed a safety hazard.

Therefore, scattering the bones to ashes is the best option.

"Since we're already here, let me show you around," Xu Beichen suddenly said.

Panija readily agreed; ever since she transformed into his form, the position of goddess seemed to have become secondary.

Watching the two leave, the Golden Knight Ark blinked a few times. "The Holy Maiden is gone just like that?"

Yak wanted to follow, but an invisible barrier blocked his way, and he could only watch helplessly as the two left.

Yak was practically spitting blood. He, a dignified Gold Knight and a powerful Super-Rank mage, couldn't even break someone's spatial magic.

"It's only been a few months, and it's gotten even tighter."

"It's clearly Brother Xu, you've grown so big."

In just one night, Xu Beichen lied to Pan Nijia seven or eight times, from the park to the movie theater, and then to the hotel.

The next morning, Xu Beichen took Pan Nijia to meet Mu Gong and Fan Ning. The two of them showed excited apologies when they saw Xu Beichen.

These two old guys have been stuck at the peak of the super-level for too long, and they both yearn to break through to the forbidden spell and become those who are above all others.

After a brief discussion, Mu Gong and Fan Ning both agreed to fully support Pan Nijia.

Xu Beichen also promised to help one of them break through to the forbidden spell after the Goddess election.

Upon hearing this, Mu Gong and Fan Ning immediately stopped pretending and began to fawn over Xu Beichen.

Compared to Mu Gong, who had some principles, Fan Ning was utterly shameless, even going so far as to tell Xu Beichen to freely choose any eligible female mage within the clan.

Its purpose is self-evident.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

However, Xu Beichen did not agree. If he really chose one, it might just be another surveillance camera.

Xu Beichen did not participate in any of the matches in the following days, but the Chinese team maintained a perfect record.

After the knockout stage, the treasure hunt begins, with the sixteen remaining strong teams competing simultaneously.

The gathering place for the treasure hunt is in the same venue as the opening ceremony. Unlike the previous venue setup, today's venue is filled with many magic stones that shimmer with a silver luster.

The silver magic stones were arranged in a long array, and upon closer inspection, one could feel the spatial power surging within the array.

"A spatial magic array! It seems we're going to be teleported directly to the treasure hunting grounds!" Ai Jiangtu, who majored in spatial magic, had some understanding of spatial magic arrays.

"Such a huge spatial magic array, where are we going to be sent? Is it some kind of edge of a world?" Zhao Manyan asked, his eyes wide.

"Since it's a treasure hunt, the organizers will definitely put the prizes in this space, most likely a separate space."

Xu Beichen remained relatively calm, as this treasure-hunting space was a true treasure trove.

Although most of the resources were of little use to him, the battlefield treasure from thirty-two years ago was still quite valuable and might help him further improve his mental strength.

Since breaking through to the eighth realm of spiritual power, eating the meat of younger spiritual beasts has not provided much improvement.

Just as everyone was lining up to enter the teleportation array, Jiang Shaoxu took the initiative to come over, hugged Xu Beichen's arm, and blinked, saying:

"Captain, you have to protect me once we're inside. I won't let you get hurt."

This vibe... could it be that they're planning to do it in the wild?

Ahem, this is being broadcast live worldwide, how can that be allowed!

"Who knows if we'll even run into each other? You'd better hope you get lucky," Xu Beichen immediately refused.

"Hmph! You dead straight man."

When Jiang Shaoxu saw that he wasn't buying it, she immediately cursed him.

Before long, it was Xu Beichen's turn to enter the spatial array, and he immediately felt the surrounding space distort.
