Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 3 Jiang Shaoxu

Chu Ming and Gengar darted swiftly through the shadows.

He quickly found the person who had called for help.

A couple and their two children, a family of four.

One of the couples was trapped in a thicket of grass, unable to move, their eyes filled with despair, while a clump of dark red vines tightly bound the two who approached.

"Help! Help me!"

"Someone, please save us!!"

"Run!"

"Son, hurry up and run with your sister!!"

A boy of about ten years old was carrying a girl on his back and running wildly.

Red vines sprouted from the ground, like venomous snakes, and looked about to wrap around the boy's ankles.

Swish!

A purple blade flashed past.

Several red vines broke off!

Chu Ming leaped out of the shadows.

The family of four, who had been in despair, were suddenly overjoyed.

"Master! A master has come to save us!"

"Big brother! Please save my parents! Please!!"

The trapped couple and their two children cried out urgently for help.

The red vines seemed to sense a threat.

They gave up pursuing the child.

They charged straight at Chu Ming!

Chu Ming's gaze was cold and sharp. He held his long sword horizontally in front of him and slashed out!

Swish!

A purple, poisonous blade of energy pierced through the vines, aiming directly at their roots!

The earth trembled slightly.

Hidden in the shadows, Gengar sensed that Bloodvine was about to launch a full-scale counterattack. It chuckled and released two purple energy balls from its hands.

Misfortunes never come singly!

If the target is in an abnormal state, the power is doubled!

soon.

Under the impact of poison-type blades and Gengar's dark-type power!

The already damaged vines began to crumble inch by inch!

Finally, several will-o'-the-wisps ignited.

It landed on the roots of the churning vines and gradually turned into ashes and scattered!

[You defeated the Bloodvine Demon, a servant-level monster, and gained 20 points.]

……

The rescued couple were about to stand up to express their gratitude when they found that their hands and feet were numb and they could not move.

"Thank you so much, sir!"

"Thanks to you for saving my family."

Seeing the demon vanquished, the two children ran back to their parents, crying out in alarm, "Big brother! My mom and dad can't move!"

Chu Ming came to his senses and immediately released the poison magic "Poison Extraction - Refinement".

"Don't worry, this is the paralyzing toxin of the Bloodvine Demon, I can cure it."

The level 3 poison magic quickly neutralized the paralyzing toxins in the injured person's body.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Chu Ming repeatedly.

"Young man, if it weren't for you, my whole family would be dead here!"

"My benefactor! What's your name?!"

"Big brother monk, thank you for saving my father!"

Chu Ming responded with a smile.

He declared himself a mage, and protecting civilians was one of his duties.

"Your car is over there, right? How did it end up here?" Chu Ming asked.

The man scratched his head sheepishly: "We thought the scenery here was pretty, so we ventured a little further in to take some photos. We never expected there to be demons here."

Chu Ming nodded.

This highway is not remote.

There are quite a few vehicles coming and going.

Animal-type demons have long been eliminated by the sorcerer.

However, plant-type demons like the Bloodvine Demon can hide deep underground. They are only servants and have not yet become powerful. By using the forest and grass to conceal their tracks, they are indeed difficult to find.

I felt a little sentimental.

In this world teeming with demons.

Compared to these, ordinary people often struggle to control their own lives in the event of an accident.

He was incredibly lucky to be born into a family of mages and to learn magic.

More than ten minutes later.

Police and hospital vehicles arrived one after another.

The injured were quickly taken to the hospital.

After showing his identification and cooperating with the two police officers to take a statement and register his information, Chu Ming turned and left the scene.

A short-haired female team leader in her forties watched the departing black minivan with admiration in her eyes.

"So he's the young master of the Chu family. No wonder he could defeat a demon at such a young age!"

"The Chu family? Captain, I've never heard of this family before?"

A young member of the police squad looked at his captain and asked in confusion.

He has been working in Shanghai for three to five years now.

I've heard of the Mu family, Bai family, Lu family, Dongfang family, Zhao family, Gu family, and other prominent families, but I've never heard of the Chu family.

"His documents say Jiangnan City. It's normal that you don't know this since you've never been to Jiangnan."

"Oh, so the Chu family is very powerful?"

"Perhaps in terms of foundation, they are slightly inferior to the four great families. Would you say they are strong or not?"

The captain offered an explanation.

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

But she knew very well.

Can a powerful family prosper for a long time?

It mainly depends on whether future generations have enough strength to inherit the legacy.

They dealt with a slave-level Bloodvine Demon so easily.

This kind of strength.

This is far beyond what a novice mage could achieve.

This young man from the Chu family is far superior to many scions of aristocratic families!

……

A black minivan sped along the highway.

One hour later.

Chu Ming arrived at Wutong Town.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the largest hotel in Wutong Town, Fengming Hotel, a beautiful figure appeared in front of the car.

"Xiao Ming! Did you miss your sister?"

"Um?!"

Chu Ming had just opened the car door when he saw the figure in front of him, and he almost couldn't resist jumping back into the car.

No!

What's Jiang Shaoxu doing here!

"You heartless bastard! I waited for you here in this cold wind, and you didn't even call me once?!"

Jiang Shaoxu put her hands on her hips and wrinkled her delicate nose.

Wearing light blue jeans and a white sweater, Jiang Shaoxu exudes a pure and innocent aura, while the beauty mark at the corner of her eye adds a touch of charm.

With a perfect figure that scores over 90, she's definitely a top-tier school beauty template!

But Chu Ming knew very well what was going on.

This guy is not only a rose with thorns, but also a cunning fox; you must not follow his train of thought.

"It's only August, the weather hasn't gotten cold yet."

Chu Ming replied, sounding like a straight man.

"Um... Young Master Chu, I'll go to the hotel to check you in first." The official coughed lightly, greeted him, and hurried towards the Fengming Hotel.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you know I'd arrive at this time?"

Chu Ming looked at Jiang Shaoxu and asked.

"I asked Aunt Song, but after calculating the time, why are you so late? I've been waiting for an extra half hour."

Chu Ming explained, "Some people encountered danger on the road, and I helped them out by dealing with a slave-level demon."

Jiang Shaoxu patted Chu Ming on the shoulder: "Not bad, kid!"

"Cough cough, are you alright... Let me check you over to see if you have any injuries."

talking.

Jiang Shaoxu grinned and pinched Chu Ming's chest and arms here and there.

"Hey, it's still out on the street!"

Chu Ming quickly stepped back.

"Xiaoming, you've changed. You weren't like this when you were little. You used to dare to hug and kiss me."

"That was clearly you hugging and kissing me, wasn't it?"

"Impossible, I remember it perfectly!"

Jiang Shaoxu clung to Chu Ming's arm, laughing and joking, like a triumphant little fox, overjoyed!

"Whatever makes you happy."

Seeing that Jiang Shaoxu was holding him tightly, Chu Ming didn't bother to explain further.

Seriously!

He used to genuinely consider this girl as family.

But who knows?

This girl actually developed feelings for him first.

But this feeling isn't bad at all.
