Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

The person immediately shut up...

Zhang Xiaohou stepped forward and said to Zhou Min, Xu Zhaoting, and the other class leaders, "Tie the rope around me, I'll do it."

Zhou Min and Xu Zhaoting both looked on with suspicion, sizing up Zhang Xiaohou, who wasn't particularly outstanding in the top class...

"What are you all dawdling about? Don't think that just because you have a high performance score you're really excellent. This isn't a place for empty talk." Cao Le was very annoyed by their behavior.

No one else said anything, while Zhou Min found ropes and tied Zhang Xiaohou to his body.

Then, Zhang Xiaohou took a running start, tracing star trails as he went. It has to be said, this guy is incredibly daring. Most people wouldn't dare do something so dangerous if they couldn't reliably cast magic.

However, on the other hand, if magic isn't used under these circumstances, then even if one has good talent and strength, what good is it?

Zhang Xiaohou jumped to the other side without any surprises, and then brought the rest of them over.

After crossing the valley and passing through thickets of weeds taller than a person, they finally saw the Hundred Herbs Valley! And there they saw Mu Bai and his lackeys already there.

After the forty people gathered, they headed towards the cave...

"Awooo~~~!!"

"Awooo!!!"

As soon as they entered the cave, they heard a wolf howl!

A foot covered in green hair suddenly stepped out of the darkness, its sharp claws sinking into the ground.

Because of the light, they saw the ferocious wolf's head, its neck more powerful than that of an ordinary coyote, its body larger than a camel and covered in rock-like muscles, and its deep blue, needle-like hairs standing on end...

Upon seeing the demonic wolf, everyone panicked!

"Run...run!!"

For a moment, they didn't even think about connecting to the star system; all they wanted was to escape!

Of course, there are also those who are highly skilled and daring, such as Zhou Min, Xu Zhaoting, and Mu Bai.

The three of them simultaneously completed the basic spell, but unfortunately, it did almost no damage whatsoever to the demonic wolf...

Then the group of students started running outside.

"Cao Le, what are you doing? Run!" Mo Fan shouted hurriedly when he saw that everyone else had already run outside, but Cao Le was still standing there.

...

18. A life of extraordinary success needs no explanation.

"Why are you running? It's just a little wolf cub." As Cao Le spoke, the star track connection was already complete.

"Brother, you're not doing anything practical, are you just waiting to die if you don't run?" Seeing that Cao Le had no intention of leaving, Mo Fan had no choice but to turn back.

However, before he could even walk over, a black crack suddenly appeared in front of Cao Le!

Immediately afterwards, a two-meter-tall figure covered in black emerged...

"What...what is this?" Mo Fan paused, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“It’s a Shadow Servant, an additional skill of my Shadow element,” Cao Le replied.

At that moment, a black broadsword appeared in the Shadow Servant's hand, and it immediately charged towards the Ghost Wolf Beast.

"Shadow Servant?"

Although Mo Fan doesn't have the Shadow element and isn't from this world, he's been here for over a year and has some understanding of magic.

Shadow magic is one of his favorite types of magic, so he has naturally read a lot about it.

However, he had never heard of such a technique being used in the Shadow faction!

Isn't this skill that summons teammates something only summoners possess?

Just as he was trying to get a closer look, the Shadow Servant had already engaged the Ghost Wolf Beast in battle. Both demons were servants, but in terms of combat power, they were clearly not on the same level...

That ghost wolf was completely overwhelmed...

...

About 300 meters from the mountain pass, there is a stone platform extending out from the mountain wall.

At the stone platform, Chief Instructor Zhan Kong, Instructors Luo Yunbo and Pan Lijun, as well as the Summoner Bai Yang, were all standing there, looking out at the group of students trapped at the mountain pass.

The summoner named Bai Yang was laughing so hard he was clutching his stomach. He could see one of the students so scared he wet his pants and collapsed there.

Head Instructor Zhan Kong shook his head repeatedly as he looked at the group of students who hadn't managed to cast a single spell.

Just as Bai Yang was laughing happily, he suddenly froze!

Summoned beasts and summoners share a telepathic connection; could Bai Yang sense that his Ghost Wolf beast was in extreme pain?

"My...my...Shadow Wolf Beast!! Ah!!!"

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yang roared in agony, then collapsed to his knees as if his soul had left his body, staring blankly at the cave.

"What's going on?" Tang Yue frowned, wondering what Bai Yang, the summoner, was up to.

Zhan Kong looked at him with even more confusion, somewhat bewildered.

"My Ghost Wolf Beast...it...it's dead!" Bai Yang uttered these words in a daze, his tone suggesting that even he himself couldn't believe it.

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Kong, Tang Yue, and the others were almost all stunned!

Right now, only Cao Le and Mo Fan are left in this cave. Although they both did well in the assessment, it shouldn't be possible for them to have killed a Ghost Wolf Beast, right?

Before Zhan Kong could ask any more questions, Bai Yang had already fainted. Left with no other option, he could only head into the cave himself...

Inside the cave at this moment.

"It...it just died like that?" Mo Fan's mouth gaped open. He had previously thought that since he cultivated both lightning and fire, he was definitely the strongest in this generation.

However, seeing how easily Cao Le dealt with the ghost wolf beast after summoning that dark creature today, it seems I was overthinking things...

"Hmm... dead." Cao Le was also somewhat incredulous.

Although he had always believed that his shadow servant was no weaker than the Shadow Wolf Beast, he was surprised that it was dealt with so easily. Not to mention Mo Fan, even he himself couldn't believe it.

"Damn it, are you even human?!"

"A life with cheat codes needs no explanation." After saying this, Cao Le summoned his shadow servant back.

The instant the shadow servant was absorbed back, he actually saw a wisp of fluorescent light float into his body.

Once the light entered the body, it was absorbed by the shadow-type stardust.

"What was that little bit of light just now?" Mo Fan, having a connection with Little Mudfish, naturally saw it.

"How the hell would I know? I still don't understand this Shadow Servant at all," Cao Le said, shaking his head.

Of course he knew what it was—it was just a remnant of a soul. What he didn't understand was how this thing could have been absorbed by the shadow-elemental stardust.

One thing Cao Le was certain of was that the remnant soul had truly been absorbed; it hadn't remained there but had completely vanished into the black stardust.

Just as the two were discussing, a man with wings on his back flew in.

The newcomer was none other than Zhan Kong. When he arrived and saw that Cao Le and Mo Fan were unharmed, and that the Ghost Wolf Beast was beyond dead, he looked at the two in disbelief and asked, "This... did you do this?"

"Mm." Cao Le nodded.

Mo Fan originally wanted to say that he was just a spectator, but after Cao Le spoke, he quietly watched from the side.

Zhan Kong arrived in front of the Ghost Wolf Beast, only to find that the Ghost Wolf Beast was already dead... However, although the Ghost Wolf Beast had many wounds on its body, it had completely died from the trauma of black magic.

Before entering, Zhan Kong had learned about the two. Mo Fan was a fire elementalist, while Cao Le was a shadow elementalist.

Although the Ghost Wolf Beast did indeed possess fire magic output, it was definitely not fire magic that killed it. This level of flame had absolutely no effect on the Ghost Wolf Beast!

However, this ghost wolf beast's combat power is in no way inferior to that of a real demon. Zhan Kong's purpose in releasing it was absolutely not to let these students defeat it, but merely to have it pretend to be a demon to give these students a real experience.

This is an impossible task. Even a real hunter team would be wiped out by the demons, let alone these students whose legs go weak at the sight of demons.

But the facts were undeniable, and he couldn't deny them even if he wanted to...

"I just found this blue bracelet in the cave. I wonder if this counts as completing the bounty? Where's my magical artifact?" Cao Le walked up to Chief Instructor Zhan Kong and smiled.

He couldn't be bothered arguing with Zhan Kong about such useless things. He had just discovered the bracelet while Yingpu was dealing with the Ghost Wolf Beast. Now, all he wanted was the magical artifact!

Zhan Kong shook his head violently, only then realizing what was happening!

Did he even consider preparing magical tools?

You have to understand, he never even considered that these students could complete this task!

According to Zhan Kong's prediction, half of the students would be eliminated in the previous levels, and the remaining half would definitely be wiped out by the Ghost Wolf Beast!

As for magic tools?

Magical tools are incredibly expensive; how could Zhan Kong possibly give them away?

But looking at Cao Le's harmless smile, he knew he had suffered a huge loss!

...

19. Confess to Tang Yue

After they came out, Tang Yue, Xue Musheng, and several other teachers and instructors were completely dumbfounded when they learned about what had happened!

They just killed him like that?

Moreover, these two seem to be completely unaffected?

Of course, after they came out, everyone learned about the origin of the Ghost Wolf Beast.

Bai Yang almost cried himself to death in the toilet, because his Ghost Wolf Beast was meant for training, and its death could only be described as an accident. Who told this year's students to be so abnormal!

Zhan Kong didn't care at all about the death of his summoned beast. Of course, the military would offer some compensation, but getting the full amount would be difficult; he'd have to nurture it himself...

Back at the post station, the news spread quickly. Apart from the military mages from Bo City, most of the post station's inhabitants were hunting mages who roamed the mountains. These hunting mages made a living by accepting bounties and hunting demons. However, as this news spread, the veterans of the post station felt ashamed. They were the ones who had mocked the students the loudest back then.

However, what onlookers are more interested in is naturally the magical artifacts...

Inside Tang Yue's lounge.

"Tell me the truth, how exactly did that Ghost Wolf die?" Tang Yue didn't ask the reason at the training site because there were too many people around.
