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

Chapter 83 Vampires

Chu Ming and Ding Yumin "suddenly" confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.

In the days that followed.

Aside from the daily blissful romance, it was just normal campus life.

The fact that Chu Ming and Ding Yumin were a couple sparked a lot of discussion among their classmates.

Some of the male classmates who were originally pursuing Ding Yumin couldn't accept it for a while, and in a moment of impulsiveness, they challenged Chu Ming on the spot.

But soon.

After personally experiencing Chu Ming's magical suppression power.

One by one, the rivals came to their senses.

As for Chu Ming...

Compared to these boring little incidents...

He was more concerned about Gengar's breakthrough progress.

Fortunately, the result was very satisfactory to him. Gengar, who had been in seclusion for cultivation, successfully absorbed and refined all the poison energy from the two fangs of the Serpent.

Meanwhile, Gengar consumed most of the Shadow-type resources in Luo Mian's storage ring.

The final result was gratifying.

Gengar has successfully advanced to Lesser Lord and unlocked the Lord's Domain, "Shadow Space".

"Although the poison energy has been completely absorbed, it is, after all, material from a monarch-level demon, and its strength and energy storage properties are excellent..."

Looking at the remaining two Xuan Snake Fangs, Chu Ming decided to find a master blacksmith to reforge his Muramasa sword.

I asked Dean Xiao about it.

Chu Ming received a letter of introduction and then headed to the Pearl Tower.

They soon found Huo Tuo, a renowned blacksmith in the Magic Association.

"I am Li Junnan, and I am a student of Teacher Huo."

A young man approached Chu Ming and spoke politely.

"I came to see Master Huo Tuo, but isn't he here?" Chu Ming asked.

"The teacher is very busy. If there are any forging requests, I can help out," Li Junnan said earnestly.

"I'm sorry, but my weapons and materials are probably only something a master blacksmith could make, so I hope you'll talk to your teacher about it."

Chu Ming expressed his meaning very directly.

But when Li Junnan heard this, he frowned slightly and seemed a little unhappy.

He was, after all, a disciple who received the true teachings of Huo Tuo.

What Dr. Huo Tuo could do.

He can basically do it too.

Besides, what kind of nonsense could a young mage in his early twenties possibly produce?

It requires a master blacksmith to make it?

"Could you let me see the materials first?" Li Junnan was still quite polite and didn't immediately put on a sour face.

"Can."

Chu Ming took both Xuan Snake Fangs out of his storage ring.

Two snake fangs, each a meter long, were placed on the table.

Because it is constantly having its energy absorbed and extracted by Gengar.

Not only has the fang shrunk by more than half in size, but its once glossy surface now appears grayish-white and unremarkable.

"These are snake fangs??" Li Junnan exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, it came from the fangs of a top-tier serpent demon," Chu Ming said.

Li Junnan frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "Do you think I'm blind? There's not a trace of energy in this. Take your inferior imitation materials and get out of here right now!"

Chu Ming was speechless.

If Gengar leaves any residual toxins on it, this kid will die on the spot.

"Stop making such a racket, Little Li. Don't you want to quit? Don't you know I hate being disturbed?"

At this moment, an elderly man with purple eyebrows and hair came out.

Li Junnan hurriedly apologized and glared fiercely at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming didn't bother to explain and said directly, "Master Huo Tuo, Dean Xiao introduced me to you. I've heard that you are the most renowned blacksmith in the Pearl Tower, and my weapon and materials are somewhat special; perhaps only Master Huo in China can make them!"

"Stop arguing and being unreasonable. You think you can fool my master by saying a few nice words..."

Li Junnan only said half of what he meant.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind.

He turned his head away.

Then his teacher came out, his face seemingly expressionless, but his eyes gleamed with a hint of smugness.

Huo Tuo walked over, stroking his purple beard, and said with a smile, "Oh, so you were introduced by Dean Xiao. You really know your stuff, knowing that I, Huo Tuo, specialize in treating difficult and complicated diseases. You have weapons and materials in your hands, let me see them."

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

Li Junnan quickly said, "Master, this guy is talking nonsense. He's just a very ordinary artificial material."

Huo Tuo glanced at him, walked over, and carefully examined the two teeth, his expression constantly changing.

Li Junnan, standing to the side, was even more stunned.

Isn't this just an artificial material?

There's not a single trace of energy left, so what's there to see?

"Master, are you sure you don't want to kick him out?" Li Junnan asked.

"Hmph, you're so stupid, I'm about to kick you out. Do you even know what this thing is? Artificial material?" Huo Tuo said irritably.

Li Junnan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Isn't this a man-made replica?!"

"The energy on them has been completely extracted, but the material structure has not collapsed. You can imagine how high the original quality of these two teeth was," Huo Tuo said seriously.

"As expected of Master Huo Tuo, he was able to discover the value of the material. The original tooth was more than three meters long."

"How is that possible? Where would you find a snake that big?" Li Junnan muttered.

Huo Tuo, who was admiring the material, suddenly looked at Chu Ming with a shocked expression and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that this material is from Hangzhou...?"

Chu Ming smiled and nodded.

"I really didn't expect that. No wonder Dean Xiao recommended you to me. You really wouldn't have any luck with this material at other places," Huo Tuo said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Huo. This is my weapon..." Chu Ming said, taking out the Muramasa.

"This is...it's actually a Muramasa sword from Japan!" Huo Tuo exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder you sought out a master blacksmith like me. Only a master-level craftsman can handle something like this."

"However, these items are difficult to handle and expensive," Huo Tuo stroked his chin, looking every bit the shrewd businessman. "Besides, I'm currently booked up with a full order book."

"Can't we make an exception?" Chu Ming asked.

"Of course, help me with some work. With materials and weapons like these, you must be no ordinary mage," Huo Tuo said.

"Tell me about it first," Chu Ming said.

"Have you ever heard of vampires?" Huo Tuo asked in a low voice.

"Are you referring to a human or a demon?" Chu Ming looked at Huo Tuo and smiled.

"Nonsense, of course I'm talking about demons, I mean those kinds of demons that act like normal humans during the day but need to attack women at night and rely on human blood to maintain their power!"

Huo Tuo continued.

"According to my clues, their blood-sucking process is slow. They often find a very secluded place to enjoy it slowly. Anyway, as long as it's before dawn, their sharp teeth can do whatever they want to women."

"Are you sure they only suck blood?" Chu Ming asked, raising an eyebrow.

"How would I know? I only heard about it from others," Huo Tuo said seriously.

Seeing that Chu Ming did not refuse, Huo Tuo continued, "What I need is a tooth, a vampire's tooth."

"The bounty I posted in the Hunter's Alliance hasn't been claimed yet. People think that such a thing is impossible."

"But I am well aware that these special species have already infiltrated Shanghai."
