Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

As for what the Star River Vein was, she knew perfectly well.

However, without the help of the Mu Shi clan, Mu Ningxue simply cannot afford such an expensive item given her current financial situation.

In fact, even for the Mu family in the past, it would not have been easy to purchase such a powerful galactic vein.

She thought that by joining the Mu family, she could gain access to their vast resources to improve herself.

But after Mu He's incident, they were ruthlessly kicked aside...

And soon after, the spot on the National Team that they had worked so hard to secure was forced to be given to Mu Tingying.

Mu Ningxue had considered resisting, but having been in the Mu Shi clan for so long, she knew very well the power of this enormous clan. She was not qualified to resist anything at the moment.

The National Championships will be her only chance.

However, although everyone is still a mid-level mage, she is able to occupy a place by virtue of her own ice spirit seed, and even a half-finished soul seed and domain.

But after the next training session ends, the families behind these people will naturally exert their influence.

If she can't become a high-level mage, it means she will be kicked out of the team.

Relying on herself, she had no hope of reaching a higher level; the Star River Vein was her only chance.

But she... never imagined that the man before her would possess such an expensive Star River Vein, and even give it to her?

"I can't accept this..." Although Mu Ningxue sensed the powerful energy within, she still handed it back to Cao Le.

However, Cao Le showed no intention of accepting the offer.

“I didn’t mean anything by it. I know you feel sorry for me… But, Cao Le, you need to know that the World National Championship isn’t just about talent; resources are even more important.”

"Although you are now a formal member of the National Team and a high-level mage, you will still be surpassed if you do not have subsequent resources."

"Don't give up your chance because of me."

"I will find a way to get it. Even if I am eliminated after this training, I will definitely come back."

Mu Ningxue refused, and said a lot more.

Unfortunately, Cao Le still showed no intention of taking it back.

Seeing this, she was about to speak when Cao Le reached out and covered her mouth.

"Let me tell you something: I've already reached the advanced minor perfection level."

"The Star River Vein is of no use to me anymore. This was originally meant for you. I know your current situation, so stop wasting my breath and take it to break through."

"Don't refuse me. You know you can't. You never have. You never have.

Cao Le finished speaking slowly, word by word, and then put his hand down.

As I said before, Mu Ningxue had already "gotten used to" it, but that's why she stopped taking action.

It's because...

Cao Le said, "High-level 'Minor Perfection'!"

She couldn't believe what she was hearing...

They were all the same age, using the same cultivation methods. Previously, she had the resources of the Mu Shi clan to support her, but in the end...

She didn't advance as quickly as Mo Fan, a grassroots individual, nor as quickly as Cao Le.

Moreover, the latter is simply too monstrous, isn't it? (Valley)

"Where...where did you get these resources?"

Mu Ningxue felt that she knew everything about Cao Le.

But today, she suddenly realized that she seemed to know nothing about Cao Le.

"I've visited the tombs in the ancient capital..."

After thinking for a moment, Cao Le decided to tell Mu Ningxue about Boss Cao's inheritance.

Upon hearing that Cao Le was actually a descendant of Cao Cao, Mu Ningxue was utterly shocked.

He had boasted like this before, but Mu Ningxue thought Cao Le was a liar and didn't believe him at all.

But now...

She believed it...

She had no doubts whatsoever, because no matter how privileged one is, resources are still needed.

Without resources, everything is in vain.

“Then I can’t accept it. You can exchange it for resources. That way, you can further improve yourself.” Mu Ningxue still shook her head to refuse.

"If you don't want me to strip you here, then use it and upgrade to a higher level as soon as possible."

"The Mu clan's abandonment of you is actually a good thing for you."

"Let me remind you, Nan Rongni is not as simple as you seem. It's fine to be friends with her, but don't get too close."

In the end, Cao Le still felt he should give her a heads-up.

However, he couldn't be too blunt about it before Nan Rongni was exposed.

Sometimes, some things still need to be witnessed firsthand.

So, he was just giving a heads-up.

Mu Ningxue was even more puzzled and curious. She couldn't understand why Cao Le would say that Mu Shi giving up was a good thing.

Similarly, he was also puzzled as to why he and Nan Rongni didn't get along so well.

Cao Le only said that she was not simple and that one should always be wary of others, which Cao Le understood. But whether she took it to heart, Cao Le was unsure.

Mu Ningxue had no intention of returning the Star River Vein to Cao Le. She knew that if she refused again, he would truly mean it.

Moreover, the possessiveness in his eyes never seemed to be concealed...

He left satisfied after seeing that Mu Ningxue had accepted the gift.

A single Star River Vein is nothing to him. The essence from the Crimson Demon Explosion alone is enough to make up for this Star River Vein.

With Mu Ningxue's strength, breaking through to the high level with a Star River Vein is not a difficult thing.

After he left, she began her seclusion to break through her cultivation barrier.

After leaving Mu Ningxue's room and going outside, they saw Ai Jiangtu and the others sitting there.

Almost everyone was there except for Nan Jue.

"Have you noticed something strange?" Jiang Yu asked.

Since he didn't know what the others were talking about, Cao Le didn't interrupt.

Instead, they chose to sit in on the proceedings.

Zhao Manyan asked, "What strange thing?"

“We’ve been sailing at sea for over ten days now, but… it seems like there haven’t been any sea monster attacks at all. The Pacific Ocean shouldn’t be this safe, right?” Jiang Yu replied.

"You must have paranoia. Isn't it good that there are no demon attacks?" Mu Tingying, dressed in a purple bikini, retorted.

After so many days at sea, bikinis are not just Jiang Shaoxu's privilege.

Mu Tingying, who has a good figure, naturally has one too.

...

181. The totem lies beneath the sea.

Apart from Nan Jue and Mu Ningxue, who were dressed normally, everyone else was quite casual. For example, Cao Le was wearing just a pair of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.

If he weren't afraid of being harassed by these female hooligans, he probably wouldn't even bother putting on a shirt.

"I just think it's too quiet," Jiang Yu said helplessly.

Nan Jue agreed, saying, "It is indeed a bit too quiet."

Mo Fan suggested, "Why don't we use a water-based mage to speed things up? Otherwise, at this slow pace, when will we ever get to Japan?"

As soon as Mo Fan said this, everyone looked at Zhao Manyan in unison.

Zhao Manyan was stunned...

Upon closer reflection...

Ai Jiangtu is a high-level mage with spatial, curse, and lightning magic abilities.

Nan Jue is a mid-level mage, specializing in sound and plant magic.

Nan Rongni is a healing, plant-based type.

Guan Yu is a Shadow and Wind type, as is Li Kaifeng.

Jiang Shaoxu belongs to both the Mind and Light systems.

Jiang Yu is a summoner and a light-type.

Mu Tingying is an ice-type and fire-type character.

Mu Ningxue is an ice and wind type.

Mo Fan has many skills, but he doesn't have any water skills.

Cao Le is a space-type, fire-type, and shadow-type.

The weakest of them all, Zujiming, is a poison/earth type.

So, Mo Fan's command to accelerate the water system—wasn't that just asking him to do it?

"Holy shit..."

Zhao Manyan was dumbfounded. He should have known better than to use water magic when he was fighting Chi Lingyao.

Now look what's happened, I've become a mere tool...

"Zhao Manyan, it's time to contribute! Come on, let's go!!!" Jiang Yu shouted.

Zhao Manyan was speechless, but that was all he could do for now.

Who told me I have a water system?
