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

Chapter 34 Just a fluke

sizzle-

Gengar gradually increased the power of its current output.

The original bluish-yellow scales on the Scaled Banshee's body were quickly charred and necrotic from the electricity, and gradually began to fall off.

[Congratulations! You have eliminated the Scaled Demon's parasitic host and successfully prevented a demon infection event. Reward: 2 points]

I heard the notification in my ear.

Chu Ming's eyes lit up with joy.

Indeed, coming to the hunting lodge was the right decision.

Based on his speculation.

You can earn high points by participating in and resolving some high-impact events.

These two scaly demons were indeed very weak.

However, their ability to parasitize and infect is quite terrifying.

If I hadn't stopped it in time...

If the mother demon escapes, it's not impossible for it to cause a large-scale infection crisis.

"Unfortunately, I didn't get the achievement title this time."

Chu Ming stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

Perhaps if we wait a few more days... until the incident escalates, and he eliminates a large number of scaly demons in one go, will there be a chance of him obtaining a title?

But this would inevitably harm too many innocent people.

As a monk with a conscience.

He still has his own bottom line.

Chu Ming then looked at the little girl beside him and said, "It's all taken care of, Lingling, call an ambulance."

After dialing the hospital's number, Lingling looked at the motionless mother demon in the video and hesitated before saying, "Are you sure she won't molt again? This thing seems to be the mother. Should we electrocute her a little longer?"

"If you keep shocking her, she'll be dead," Chu Ming said helplessly.

Lingling nodded: "Oh, let's forget about it for now, after all, it's the client."

"Their commission is still very important. We can't make a wasted trip. Let the city's monster-hunting team keep an eye on things for a couple more days."

Her tone made it sound like the city's monster-hunting team were her subordinates.

"..."

Chu Ming was speechless for a moment.

These are snobbish and mature words.

He even wondered if the little girl was also a time traveler, and therefore had an adult's soul inside her.

A short while later.

Ambulances and members of the city's monster-hunting team arrived at the scene.

Chu Ming explained the situation to Lingling.

The city's monster-hunting team then took over the situation.

……

a few days later.

Chu Ming finished a lesson on demons and monsters with great boredom.

I just got back to my place.

Suddenly, a message appeared on his phone, piquing his interest.

But after he glanced at it...

Seeing that it wasn't a job offer notification from Lingling, but a transfer of 15 yuan, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "There haven't been any big jobs at the hunting lodge these past few days."

However, Chu Ming didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, this is Shanghai.

If major events happen from time to time.

Wouldn't that create chaos?

Fortunately, he will soon be able to enter the Three-Step Tower to cultivate.

Let these days be for reflection.

A thought crossed my mind.

The system points have appeared.

Current points: 9.2

[Cumulative Points: 17.5]

"The Beast Fighting Tournament rewarded 30,000 points, and the infection incident was nipped in the bud, totaling 50,000 points in two rounds. Suddenly, I had plenty of points."

"One Mega Evolution Stone, 8 points."

"A Dynamax Evolution Stone costs 10 points."

Chu Ming pondered for a moment.

In the end, it was decided to exchange for a Mega Stone for Gengar first.

Gengar's Dynamax is good, but since it's a mage, we can wait a bit longer.

Next time, I'll save up to 10.

He then exchanged another Dynamax Stone for Charizard.

After all, for a creature like Charizard that can be both a mount and a melee fighter, it's more important to prioritize Dynamaxing it and acquiring a powerful physique.

As for Charizard's Mega Stone, that's a matter for later.

"Gengar, here you go!"

Chu Ming summoned Gengar and handed him a perfectly round, deep purple orb with an arc of red light in the center.

Because Chu Ming made a contract with Gengar the moment he did so.

A close connection was thus formed between the two.

Therefore, Chu Ming, as a trainer, does not need a Key Stone to resonate with Gengar and allow it to Mega Evolve.

"Hehehe!"

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

Gengar looked excited as it grasped the Mega Stone.

It felt as if a dormant power within its body was about to be awakened.

next second.

The Mega Stone has disappeared.

A crescent-shaped, dark red mark appeared in Gengar's palm, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

"Okay, I know you're excited right now, but don't rush, just enjoy it."

Chu Ming smiled and sent Gengar back to the summoning space.

Gengar can undergo Mega Evolution once it is activated.

The racial stats will increase significantly.

It can also awaken a new trait, Shadow Step.

The most bizarre thing is that the original ability to hide has directly transformed into the ability to enter dimensional space!

Compared to the normal state.

Overall strength has increased significantly!

……

"Gengar has completed its breakthrough, and I, as its owner, can't fall behind."

After lunch, it was 1 p.m.

Seeing that it was almost time, Chu Ming immediately headed towards the Three-Step Pagoda.

Three-step tower.

It presents a perfectly symmetrical three-dimensional triangle.

Its exterior appears to be made of silver metal, standing tall and conspicuous within the campus.

Soon, he saw Dean Xiao's figure at the entrance.

"I've already had someone show you the permit; please lead him in."

Dean Xiao waved to Chu Ming, then spoke to the two young men waiting at the entrance of the Three-Step Tower.

"Yes, Dean."

The two glanced at Chu Ming and then respectfully bowed to Dean Xiao.

Dean Xiao patted Chu Ming on the shoulder again: "Go with him, he will tell you what to do."

After saying that, he left.

Chu Ming then followed a kind-looking guardian into the Three-Step Tower.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be a freshman. Back in my day, it took me two years after entering the main campus to finally have the chance to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower. You're truly enviable, junior." The guardian looked at Chu Ming's youthful appearance with a face full of envy.

"It's alright, being noticed by the dean is just a fluke."

Chu Ming smiled and said modestly.

Inside the Three-Step Tower, there was a long passage that seemed to stretch on and on, as the two walked.

But this is only the passageway.

We haven't truly entered the first level yet.

"This three-step tower was built by a great sage who majored in earth magic and minored in space magic."

"This place contains a wondrous spatial magic array, which no one has been able to fully decipher to this day. Therefore, we can only use it according to the instructions left by our predecessors."

"The Three-Step Tower has many layers, and the energy that can be gathered in each layer is different. You are a mid-level mage, so it is enough to cultivate on the first and second layers. As you go up, the energy impact becomes stronger and stronger. There have been people who didn't know what was good for them and forcibly absorbed the energy of the higher layers, and eventually exploded and died."

The friendly guardian reminded Chu Ming.

"I see... So to determine which level of space is best for me to cultivate in, I'll have to try it out myself, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. Go and experience it for yourself. In short, do what you can."

After saying that, the guardian senior turned and left the Three-Step Tower.
