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

Chapter 43: The fruits were stolen... A bitter pill to swallow.

Just as the trainees in the square were working enthusiastically.

In the small warehouse.

Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu, Bai Tingting, and Song Xia stared wide-eyed in shock at the shadowy beast that had appeared out of nowhere in the cage.

Chu Ming looked at Gengar with approval: "Well done, Gengar."

"Hehehe!"

It received praise from its owner.

Gengar's smile widened even further.

For it.

The whole process was incredibly effortless.

The judge's eye has locked onto the target.

Open the dimensional space.

Let's switch places!

Finally, he used Shadowmeld to return.

Those outside are going to great lengths, fighting tooth and nail.

It only requires a flick of the finger; it's so easy and effortless.

and.

Compared to fighting the enemy on the front lines.

It prefers this kind of covert operation.

To lie in wait right under someone's nose and watch them fight to the death.

Finally, he secretly picked the peaches himself.

Beautiful!

……

"The Shadow Beast has really appeared?"

"How did you do that?"

"This is... spatial power?"

"Isn't your summoned beast a shadow-type? Why can it use teleportation?"

"What kind of summoned beast is this?"

The women snapped out of their daze and stared intently at Gengar, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.

"My summoned beast is rather special."

Chu Ming smiled without saying a word, offering no further explanation, and continued:

"I have to say, we were quite lucky this time."

"Thanks to them for helping us load the Shadow Beast into the car, Gengar was able to deliver it here without anyone noticing."

"But anyway, ladies, the mission is complete. Now it's time to talk about our rewards."

……

On the large playground.

The chaotic scene escalated.

The entire faculty, department heads, and even Dean Xiao were alarmed.

"Dean, if this continues, someone will definitely die."

Seeing the students lying unconscious on the ground, the head of the department, Zhou Zhenghua, looked worried.

Fortunately, the melee had only just begun.

The fighting wasn't completely heated.

If they get angry and lose control of their emotions, there could be a lot of casualties.

"Use the light barrier to protect the unconscious students first."

Dean Xiao nodded solemnly and immediately began to cast a high-level light-based spell.

The teachers from the Light Department also stepped in.

A massive barrier appeared, isolating the energy of the battle to prevent innocent bystanders from being harmed.

"Some people have already gone too far. Activate the Night Domination Array to suppress their power completely!"

Dean Xiao frowned as he looked at the several groups still engaged in fierce fighting in the distance.

They decided to stop this farce.

He had considered the possibility of a fight breaking out among the students.

Therefore.

This land was specifically chosen as their battleground.

Because there exists a Night-Ruling Array here.

Night Domination is a high-level shadow magic, infused with immense energy through shadow magic stones.

After the formation is activated.

The power of this high-level magic will be increased dozens of times!

It can be said.

As long as the Night-Ruling Array is in place, no matter how chaotic the battle, the situation can be brought under control.

But this thing consumes magic stone resources.

It's specifically designed as a backup plan.

The last time I used it was several years ago.

Dean Xiao never expected this.

This time, almost all the trainees are engaged in a chaotic battle here?

This size is unprecedented in the school's history.

Since Si Ye now rules the great formation, he can no longer keep it a secret.

soon.

The formation was activated.

Suddenly, all the light on the playground—the moonlight and the lamplight—disappeared, as if swallowed up by something.

It was as if a giant, dark hand was slowly descending from the sky.

Followed by.

A shadowy star map appears.

Countless dark stones lit up.

More than one star map appeared on the ground; several shadowy star maps appeared one after another, constantly intertwining in the sky, eventually forming a constellation.

In an instant.

The starlight in the sky disappeared, and the lights in the distance dimmed.

"Holy crap...it's a high-level magic array?!"

"What's going on???"

"What's going on? I can't see anything at all!!"

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

"My magic... I can't cast it?"

Darkness descended.

It was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The comrades who had been fighting side by side were suddenly swallowed by darkness and all disappeared.

It's like there are invisible black walls.

They were trapped in one small, secret room after another.

Everyone seemed to be isolated and imprisoned.

I was forced to calm down.

"Hey bro, is everyone still there? How are you guys doing?"

"I'm fine."

"Hey, that was high-level magic just now. Did a teacher intervene?"

"So what do we do now?"

"We can't just let it end like this, can we?"

"Yes, we have a huge advantage here, the game can't end like this."

"Hmph, bullshit, you think you're so great at fighting?"

"Stop arguing! What's the point of fighting? The Shadow Beasts have already disappeared right under our noses. Stop pretending!"

"Hey everyone, don't get carried away! Our mission is to capture the Shadow Beasts..."

Although everyone was unable to use magic, they could no longer exchange blows.

But the game wasn't over.

They are still the kings of verbal sparring!

Until Chu Ming's leisurely voice rang out.

"Excuse me, everyone, I have successfully captured the Shadow Beast. The match is over!"

The words fell.

The venue suddenly became noisy.

"Holy crap, I knew someone was up to something!!"

"Damn it, we fought tooth and nail, and someone else got all the credit!!"

"Damn it, who is this guy?!"

"That voice... it sounds familiar."

"Oh God, my Three-Step Pagoda! I'm so heartbroken!!"

"That's not fair!!"

"I refuse to accept this! I demand a rematch!!"

"That's right, what kind of mage sneaks around? Let's see who has the strength!"

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips, and offered no further reply.

He was carrying a huge cage in one hand.

Ignore the power of the dark barrier.

They fled towards Dean Xiao's location outside the barrier.

For most people, the Night-Ruling Array is a layer of suppression and forbidden barrier.

However, as a high-level shadow mage...

This is the domain ruled by the Night.

Not only could they not suppress Chu Ming.

On the contrary, it made it easier for him to use shadow-based powers, which was like a fish in water for him.

……

On the other side...

Dean Xiao was also somewhat helpless.

Until Chu Ming's voice rang out.

Then, seeing him easily pass through the dark barrier and walk towards them carrying the shadow beast, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Shadow element?

Shadow Beast??

"Good lad, you've been hiding this well?"

"You probably already managed to get your hands on the Shadow Beast, didn't you?"

"However, you just entered the Three-Step Tower recently, so if you enter again for cultivation, the effect will probably be greatly reduced," Dean Xiao said regretfully.

Chu Ming nodded: "So this time I'm taking the assessment as a team. Also, I've given my own spot in the Three-Step Tower to Mu Nujiao and exchanged it for other resources."

Dean Xiao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "You... cunning little rascal!"

Chu Ming touched his nose, looking calm, and continued, "Dean, let's undo the formation. There are still many people down there who are not convinced and are waiting to mess with me."
