Full-Time Magister: My Elements Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 49 Shadow Python

"Beast Soul?"

Upon hearing what was inside the box, Lin Yu was once again taken aback.

However, he quickly realized that in the original story, during the competition between world academies, Mo Fan spent 300 million to buy the beast soul for the Swift Star Wolf to advance.

What kind of beast soul is inside here?

Dean Xiao, unaware of Lin Yu's thoughts, explained upon seeing his puzzled expression, "Souls are generally mutated from essences and are extremely rare."

"And the beast soul in this box was produced by a Grand Commander-level demon."

"It's a type of anaconda from the primeval forest. Its name is 'Shadow Anaconda,' and it possesses some of the abilities of the shadow element. It caused me quite a bit of trouble back then."

Hearing Dean Xiao's words, Lin Yu was even more confused. Why would a beast soul produced by a Grand Commander-level demon be used to pay off a debt to him?

Its value should far exceed its own public resources.

As if sensing Lin Yu's confusion, Dean Xiao smiled and said, "You should be able to guess that if it were really such a good thing, you definitely couldn't get it with those limited resources."

Lin Yu nodded in agreement.

Dean Xiao glanced at Lin Yu and smiled knowingly, then said, "Actually, this beast soul cannot be considered a complete beast soul."

"Not a complete beast soul?" Lin Yu was even more puzzled.

"Hmm." Dean Xiao nodded and continued to explain:

"When we first obtained it ten years ago, we discovered that it was a product somewhere between a spirit and a beast soul. It possessed the effects of a beast soul, but it was not a complete beast soul, so its power began to dissipate the moment it appeared."

"Back then, none of the summoned beasts or contracted beasts in our academy were suitable for this beast soul, and we didn't intend to sell it. So we left it there for so long. Although we have preserved it well and tried to minimize its energy loss, after so many years, we don't know how much energy it still has."

"If your summoned beast weren't also a snake, I wouldn't have taken it out. Although your summoned beast is lightning-type, it's not used for advancement, so it won't have much impact. The energy contained in the beast soul can actually shorten the growth time of your summoned beast."

Hearing this, Lin Yu finally understood.

This is a gamble. The beast soul of the Shadow Anaconda in the gambling box is still relatively intact. If you win, its value will be infinitely high. Although it can't get close to the seven or eight hundred million that Dean Xiao mentioned, it is definitely not something that can be acquired for ten or twenty million.

If you lose, the beast soul will have completely dissipated, making it worthless.

"Alright, now it's your decision: to open or not to open."

"If you choose not to open it, I'll give you eight million."

After Dean Xiao finished speaking, he leaned back slightly in his chair, waiting for Lin Yu's choice.

"open!"

Lin Yu didn't hesitate at all. He wouldn't be of much use to the eight million. If even a third of the beast soul remained, Xiao Lan might have a chance to gain shadow-type abilities if she ate it.

Lin Yu was gambling on two fronts: he was betting that Xiao Lan could control dark magic, and he was betting that the beast soul had not completely dissipated.

"Alright! I'll open it now and get ready to summon your contracted beast."

Dean Xiao hadn't expected Lin Yu to be so decisive. Looking at the burning gaze on Lin Yu's face, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Young people really do have guts."

"Wait a moment, Dean Xiao." Lin Yu interrupted Dean Xiao's actions.

"Oh? You regret it?"

Lin Yu shook his head, looked around the space, and spoke again, "No, this place is too small. Can we find a more spacious spot?"

Dean Xiao was taken aback when he heard Lin Yu's words, but then he realized that Xiao Lan's size was indeed smaller than he had seen before.

"It was my oversight. Come on, I'll take you to the rooftop." He pointed upwards with his finger, then got up and walked out.

Lin Yu quickly picked up the box from the table and followed closely behind.

However, this box is quite peculiar; it seems to be protected by a layer of water, and it feels cool to the touch.

After walking up a flight of stairs, Lin Yu followed Dean Xiao to the rooftop of the library.

"Alright, put the box down and get ready!"

Upon hearing Dean Xiao's instructions, Lin Yu walked to the very center of the rooftop, placed the box on the ground, took two steps back, and began to draw a star map.

Seeing Lin Yu's anxious appearance.

Dean Xiao smiled slightly. He didn't say anything, but slowly stretched out a hand, and the surrounding water element instantly became extremely dense.

On the box appeared a pattern of light blue stripes, which looked quite mysterious.

"Pop—"

A sound like bubbles bursting rang out, the light blue stripes on the box vanished instantly, and the lid slowly opened.

The aura of a commander-level demon began to emanate.

Sensing this aura, Lin Yu's eyes lit up instantly. This aura was extremely violent and showed no sign of weakness.

"Kid, you're really lucky. I opened it once five years ago, and three-fifths of its beast soul was still left."

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

"I can't believe that five years have passed and it hasn't faded at all!!"

"If those people find out, they definitely won't give it to you. We predicted at most that we'd have one-fifth of the beast soul left."

Dean Xiao sensed the aura of the 'Shadow Serpent Beast Soul' in the box, turned to look at Lin Yu, and smiled as he spoke.

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yu's eyes widened. After sensing the aura, he knew he hadn't lost out this time.

To my surprise, it's only three-fifths! More than half is still left!!

Although its value is significantly reduced compared to a complete one, its rarity is undeniable; this is the "Beast Soul" of a "Shadow-type" "Grand Commander-level" demon.

We made a fortune this time.

Bringing his thoughts back, Lin Yu smiled and looked at Dean Xiao, "Dean Xiao, it's not that I'm lucky, it's that your magical skill is so high! You truly deserve to be the principal of our Pearl Academy!!!"

"Alright, hurry up and summon your contracted beast. Once the restriction is broken, the energy loss rate will increase significantly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu quickly nodded.

The star map had already been drawn, and with a slight thought, a rift in the contract space appeared in front of him.

The little blue figure instantly emerged from inside.

She raised her head high, glaring angrily at Lin Yu, lightning already gathering between the two fleshy bumps on her head.

Seeing this, Lin Yu gave Dean Xiao an awkward smile, then looked up at Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, after all, you did make a move last time. I'll just tickle your tail, so we're even, right?"

Xiao Lan still looked ashamed and indignant, as if to say, "After I spank you, I'll play with you again. Would you be willing?"

"I brought you something good this time. Didn't you notice anything unusual about the surroundings?"

Seeing that Xiao Lan was still gathering her strength, Lin Yu quickly diverted her attention.

He heard what Lin Yu said.

She withdrew her gaze from Lin Yu and narrowed her eyes slightly to sense him.

In an instant, as if she had encountered a formidable enemy, lightning surged around her, and she instantly appeared beside Lin Yu, protecting him in the middle of her body.

"Don't panic, don't panic. Look at the ground, it's not the enemy!!"

Lin Yu looked up at Xiao Lan, who was protecting him and looking wary, and felt a warmth in his heart. He patted her and began to explain.
