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

Chapter 55 Am I your father?

The next day.

After the students from Mingzhu and Didu Universities were assigned specific tasks...

The group then set off for Jinlin City.

Along the way.

The top student Qingqing also took the time to explain the past history to everyone, as well as the demon tribes that exist around Jinlin City.

"Back then, Dongting Lake was invaded by demons, which was a natural disaster... Fortunately, the demons have now stabilized and are no longer expanding their territory. Their population is now around 2,500."

After Qingqing finished speaking, Lu Zhenghe, adopting a swagger like Brother Dong, interrupted her, saying, "Qingqing, no matter how much you talk, it won't be as memorable as experiencing it firsthand."

"Speaking of which, with so many of us this time, we need a team leader to make the decisions."

"Otherwise, when you encounter demons, you cast your spells and they cast theirs. Without coordination, it's difficult to deal effective damage to the demons."

Done.

Lu Zhenghe volunteered, saying he could serve as the team leader.

He greeted all the students at the Imperial Capital Academy one by one.

In addition, Lu Zhenghe did indeed have a lot of research on demons.

Naturally, I had no objections.

On the other side, Song Xia saw Lu Zhenghe looking over and pointed to Chu Ming, who had already walked to the front of the group: "We've chosen our captain."

"Alright then, one on each side, that's perfect."

Lu Zhenghe nodded helplessly.

But seeing Chu Ming's back in front of him, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

To know.

He took on the role of team leader this time for another reason.

That is to show my true strength!

He changed his previous "cowardly" image of losing without a fight and slinking off the stage in the exchange match, which was talked about by many teammates in private and was ultimately used to highlight Chu Ming's strength.

He was holding a grudge.

Therefore, he needs to prove himself through experience.

His contracted beast is a ferocious wolf!

It's not a stray dog ​​with its tail between its legs!!

"But this guy... he's a captain too? Humph, this time, I won't let him steal my thunder!"

Lu Zhenghe's gaze sharpened, and he clenched his fist.

……

Not long after.

The group arrived at the entrance of a dark tunnel.

"A type of demon called Cave Slaves lives here. They have powerful night vision, and the dark environment is their home turf," Qingqing explained to everyone.

Lu Zhenghe nodded: "If we want to get through this tunnel, we need to find a light mage to clear the way, illuminate the area, and provide shields. We also need to have a few damage-dealing mages in the front to accompany and protect us."

"Our Imperial Capital Academy doesn't have any majors in Light magic, but we could produce two damage-dealing mages."

"Zhao Manyan, I remember you majored in the light element, right?"

Zhao Manyan was taken aback.

Somewhat reluctant.

Clearing a road is indeed a dangerous task.

He specializes in light and water magic, and has virtually no offensive capabilities.

In case of any unexpected situation.

The teammates responsible for protection were too busy taking care of themselves to care about him.

"team leader."

Zhao Manyan couldn't help but look at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming patted Zhao Manyan on the shoulder, glanced at Lu Zhenghe, and said indifferently, "No need, I'll clear the way for you."

"You?" Lu Zhenghe frowned, questioning, "Are you a light-elemental being?"

Chu Ming was too lazy to answer his question.

"Charmeleon!"

The words fell.

A summoning array appeared, and a creature resembling an upright lizardman with an orange-red flame burning in its tail appeared before everyone.

I'll go first.

"Mo Fan and Zheng Bingxiao will guard the left side, while Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao will guard the right side."

"Zhao Manyan and Bai Tingting are in the middle of the team, ready to provide support for defense and heal teammates at any time."

"Song Xia and Mu Nujiao guard the rear of the group..."

"I'm not asking you to kill a lot of demons. Just make sure the formation is intact, and get through the tunnel safely. Don't hold the team back, okay?"

Chu Ming looked at the Mingzhu students behind him, his gaze finally settling on Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao.

"Captain, no problem."

"clear!"

Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao were startled and nodded quickly.

After various battles in the exchange competition between Mingzhu and Didu.

Chu Ming's strength.

They have already realized the gap.

After careful investigation of the previous Shadow Beast incident, the two also learned that the person who leaked the information was Mo Fan.

The lingering resentment in his heart was then transferred to the person who started it all.

Reality is just that cruel.

When the gap between the two sides becomes too large, past resentment will become a joke and meaningless.

……

After Mingzhu's side finalized their formation.

Led by Chu Ming, they charged ahead into the darkness.

Seeing that Chu Ming didn't care at all, and that he, the captain of the Imperial Capital Academy, had even stolen his thunder, Lu Zhenghe couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

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

"You Spectral Wolf, show yourself too!"

Soon, he also summoned his contracted beast.

The team arrangement was modeled after Chu Ming's.

He quickly ordered his team to follow.

However, considering his lack of strong offensive capabilities, he dared not clear the way himself.

He simply let the contracted beast lead the way while he hid in the middle of the group.

soon.

The two teams entered the dark tunnel one after the other.

The fiery, bright tail flames of the Charizard illuminated the path ahead.

It seems to have sensed the intruder.

Suddenly, deep in the tunnel, pairs of eerie blue lights appeared in the darkness ahead.

"There's something ahead!!" Bai Tingting exclaimed in surprise.

"Charmeleon, breathe fire!"

Chu Ming immediately gave the order.

boom!

A flash of light illuminated a large section of the tunnel ahead.

The tunnel walls, covered with black vines, were riddled with caves.

Meanwhile, cave demon slaves stood at the cave entrance, each holding a bone club stained with black blood, their eyes gleaming with greedy, murderous light.

At this moment, more and more demon slaves continued to emerge from the cave behind them, their numbers constantly increasing.

"Damn it, they spotted us a long time ago!"

"We're surrounded!!"

Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao were shocked and cried out in alarm. Many people in the capital were even more frightened and turned pale.

These cave demon slaves clearly did not make a move on purpose just now.

They only revealed themselves after both teams had completely disappeared into their lair.

Extremely cunning!

"They're coming, prepare for battle!" Chu Ming said coldly, his calm and composed voice giving everyone confidence.

"Everyone, don't stand too far apart, move towards the middle of the line to avoid being caught out!"

Lu Zhenghe then shouted.

next second.

The battle has broken out!

One by one, the cave demon slaves let out sharp cries like sheep and charged towards the group.

The fire dragon was also provoked by the murderous intent of the cave demon slave.

It burst forth with fierce fighting spirit and charged headlong into the large force of the cave demon slaves on the right.

Sharp claws, blazing flames.

The cave demon slave was no match for the fire dinosaur.

On the other side, Lu Zhenghe, seeing Chu Ming's contracted beast displaying its power, felt jealous and unwilling to fall behind.

He decisively gave orders to the Dark-Patterned Berserker.

Let them launch an attack on the main force of the cave demon slaves!

However, the Shadow Wolf is a four-legged creature and is quite large.

In terms of agility, it could not compare to the bipedal Charizard.

boom!

Under heavy siege, suddenly, a bone club was swung out, and a tremendous force slammed into the hind leg of the Shadow Wolf.

Bang!

Bones shattered!

"Awooo—"

A scream rang out as the hind leg of the Shadow Wolf was smashed into a pile of mangled flesh.

"Ghostly Wolf with Shadow Patterns!!"

Lu Zhenghe's expression changed drastically, and he quickly recalled the Ghost Pattern Berserker.

The next moment, he angrily questioned Chu Ming in front of him, blaming him, "Your contracted beast was able to keep an eye on the right side for me just now, why did it turn to the left?"

Chu Ming glanced at him and said calmly, "Am I your father?"
