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

In the afternoon, several simply dressed children suddenly ran up to the ancient city gate and started playing around.

They climbed up, then slid and rolled down the piled-up sand, getting covered in dust and dirt, making it impossible to tell who was who.

A short while later, the children's adults could be heard cursing in the distance.

So the children quickly changed their battleground and ran to the bundled hay, using it as a spring mattress.

There was a child in the corner, drawing something by himself with a tree branch. The ancient city wall was covered in dirt, and he looked like he was digging out the sand from the cracks in the wall.

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"

Seeing the child's actions, Mo Fan curiously walked over and asked him a question.

"Are you blind?" the child replied.

"You little brat, you want a beating, don't you?!"

Mo Fan rolled up his sleeves, wanting to teach this brat a lesson.

"Stop fooling around, kid. Where are your parents?" Xu Beichen said as he walked over.

Xu Beichen could tell that the child in front of him had already completed his magical awakening, but his age was clearly not yet up to the requirements for magical awakening.

Awakening too early is not a good thing. The rule for magical awakening is that one must be fifteen years old or older, because awakening at a young age will damage the soul.

After being improved by the flesh of a soul beast, Lingling's soul strength has reached the standard for awakening. Awakening ahead of time will not damage her soul.

Besides Lingling, many other children who ate the flesh of soul beasts have also successfully awakened.

But this child was not one of them.

The child looked at Xu Beichen warily, then suddenly realized that the man looked very familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered him.

"Are you Xu Beichen?" the child asked, his face filled with both anticipation and trepidation.

Xu Beichen raised an eyebrow, patted his head, and said, "That's right, I am Xu Beichen."

The child's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly grabbed Xu Beichen's leg, hurriedly calling out, "Big brother, I'm a mage too, can you teach me magic?"

Seeing his performance, Xu Beichen frowned. He had no intention of taking on any apprentices at the moment.

"Little brat, stop messing around. What's most important for you right now is to study the basics of magic. Once you get into magic high school, you'll naturally be able to learn magic."

Seeing this, Mo Fan immediately pried open the child's hands and pulled him over.

This little brat is quite strong; he'll have to use some effort.

Xu Beichen gave Mo Fan a strange look. This guy actually had the nerve to advise others to study.

"Let me go, I want to learn magic."

The child tried to pry Mo Fan's hand apart, but when he couldn't budge it, he started yelling.

Mo Fan brandished his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and threatened, "Hey, you brat, you think I won't beat you up!"

"Don't scare him, he has already completed his magical awakening," Xu Beichen said.

"What?!"

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, looking at Xu Beichen in disbelief. Then he sensed the child and found that he had indeed awakened.

But this child is at most ten years old. Awakening at this age is completely harmful.

Which unscrupulous Awakening Master would dare to cheat people like this!

Children under the age of fifteen have too weak a brain and mental capacity, and a sudden awakening will only cause damage to their mental health.

Once the spirit is damaged, many troubles will arise on the path of cultivation in the future.

For example, it may be impossible to concentrate on meditation, or the meditation time may be severely shortened, or even mental tingling may occur during meditation.

"Kid, what's your name?" Zhao Manyan asked.

In the past, this situation would have been difficult to resolve, but fortunately they encountered it, and Brother Xu would definitely have a solution.

"Xiao Tai." The child looked at Xu Beichen, hesitated for a moment, and then said his name.

Xu Beichen walked up to Xiao Tai, patted his head, and said, "Teaching you magic is no problem, but I need to tell you where your parents are right now, right?"

"But my dad won't be back until tonight," Xiao Tai said.

"It's alright, we'll wait for you here," Xu Beichen said with a smile.

As dusk fell, all the tricycle stalls, street vendors, vehicles, and other items that had been set up were taken away.

The once bustling market suddenly became deserted.

The wild children who had been playing near the ancient city gate had also left with their adults. As it was getting dark, no one came to pick up Xiao Tai.

Xu Beichen and his three companions strolled around the town and found that most of the houses were empty and the household items were covered in dust.

The latest novel is first published here!

Those vendors don't actually live here; they just use this place as a temporary market for their respective villages, towns, and counties.

In an instant, the ancient city gate of Wangcang Town was deserted, leaving only Xu Beichen, his three companions, and Xiao Tai.

Xiao Tai's gaze remained fixed on the outside of the ancient city gate. In the distance, on the bumpy, muddy road, a figure on foot gradually approached the ancient city gate.

"My dad's here." Little Tai's listless eyes finally lit up.

The man walked over, wearing a straw hat to block the wind and sand. His face was obscured, but his clothes were tattered, as if he had just been robbed.

Xiao Tai didn't go out; he waited under the city gate.

But when that person actually got closer, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan seemed to sense something, and their expressions changed drastically.

This person exudes an aura of decay and death, which only the dead possess!

Xu Beichen remained calm. He had long known that Xiao Tai's father was a ghost, and not just any ghost.

The man walked for a while longer, and beneath his straw hat were a pair of eyes that shone with a bright green light.

The face was deathly pale, with a claw mark that had been violently torn open, revealing the cheekbone and rows of teeth.

In this usually deserted town late at night, this scene appeared unusually eerie and terrifying.

"Dad," Xiao Tai called out affectionately, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Are you here to take me in? Well, you'd better have the ability."

The straw-hatted living dead man first patted Xiao Tai's head, then gave Xu Beichen and the other three an arrogant smile.

When he grinned, his front teeth were exposed, and there was even blood between his teeth, indicating that he had committed the crime not long ago.

Upon seeing this, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan immediately became alert and prepared to engage in battle.

"We're here to find a tomb, not to hunt you down," Xu Beichen said bluntly.

This living dead is definitely a millennium-old ruler, whose strength is even greater than that of the eight great fallen rulers, except for the Nine Netherworld Empress who has already ascended to the throne.

But for Xu Beichen, as long as it wasn't an emperor, it was fine, especially since Gu Yuena was nearby protecting him.

"Hunter me? What a boastful tone."

The living dead smirked, then looked at Xu Beichen with icy eyes and said, "Leave here immediately, or stay." (End of Chapter)
