Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

If we don't take the siren seriously, the price we'll have to pay will be enormous.

Cao Le does not want to see serious damage caused by someone's negligence.

Regardless, Mu Nujiao and I successfully completed her first mission. Although I had some assistance, it was all thanks to Mu Nujiao.

...

Three days later...

Inside an apartment in Shanghai.

Mu Nujiao knelt on the ground, doing yoga, imagining the things she had experienced before.

"Luckily you went with us this time, otherwise we would have lost some more promising and talented students."

Cao Le helped Mu Nujiao support her legs and said with a smile, "Even if you hadn't called me, I would have gone anyway. I will make sure your first mission is completed perfectly, no matter what."

"Humph~"

Mu Nujiao rolled her eyes at Cao Le, gesturing for him to put her legs down.

Practicing for a long time is very physically demanding.

Cao Le seemed not to have seen it, and continued, "I think you can teach at Mingzhu Academy for now, and then start your own school later. What do you think?"

Although she knew Cao Le was trying to change the subject and divert her attention, Mu Nujiao still replied, "Yes, I was too naive before. I've already spoken to Dean Xiao, and he... agreed."

?(?????)?

362. Derivative Skills

A torrent of fluid...

?(?????)?

...

After Mu Nujiao finished her yoga session, the two of them began their own practice.

Now is the time to work hard and improve our skills; that's the most important thing.

After the previous battle, regardless of whether Mu Nujiao wants to pursue the path of education or something else, strength is the most important thing.

Cao Le can only cultivate the Shadow and Summoning systems now. As for breakthroughs in the Space and Fire systems, he either needs rare treasures or a thrilling battle to stimulate them... There's little chance of that through cultivation alone.

Although Dean Xiao recently told him about the Star Sea Celestial Vein, there is still no definite answer as to whether it can be purchased.

Besides cultivating the Shadow and Summoning arts, he also tried to practice control. After reaching a higher level, combined with the control of the domain and stars, he could complete a skill derivative.

The strength of the new skills that emerge from this are immeasurable, but most of them surpass normal magic skills.

After all, it requires more effort to master, and it's not something you can just do by completing one constellation.

The more derivative skills you have, the higher your strength will be, and the more benefits you will receive.

Just like some top-tier mages, while unleashing their strongest magic, they can also launch some smaller, scattered spells for attacks. The reason these spells don't need a cooldown and keep firing like a machine gun is precisely because they have so many skills.

Once you begin cultivating, time starts to flow continuously...

Before I knew it, four months had passed since I left northern Xinjiang.

Now that all the base cities have been perfectly built, the Cao family has become a highly sought-after commodity.

But so far, no one has even thought about getting a piece of the pie.

Nothing else...

The Cao family's ability to completely entangle themselves with the sea monsters outside the coastline of Asuka City was enough to give them a firm foothold in the city.

No one would provoke them at this time, even though the Cao family is currently just a clan...

But everyone knows that even if they are promoted to a family, their family already possesses that kind of strength.

Four months have passed, and his summoning skills have reached the advanced level, specifically the second level of the advanced level.

Despite his high level of summoning skills, Cao Le still doesn't have a single contracted beast...

However, given his current strength, contracting some servant babies would be completely useless to him.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to form a contract. If possible, he would actually like to form a contract with an emperor-level creature! Didn't Su Lu do that?

If you can be this person, why can't you just be yourself?

Regardless of whether you can handle it or not, as a person, of course you need to have dreams. If you don't have dreams, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?

...

Inside the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

"What exactly happened to Lingling? Why did she call me and Cao Le as well?" Zhao Manyan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“An old client posted a bounty, which I definitely can’t complete by myself, and Grandpa is still investigating things at sea, and Mo Fan is not in the country, so I can only ask the two of you,” Lingling replied.

"Little girl, you don't want to go to school again, do you?" Cao Le arrived just then and said as soon as he entered the door.

Lingling pouted and said unhappily, "They're all just a bunch of little kids, what's so great about staying at school?"

"..."

Zhao Manyan's mouth twitched.

Cao Le felt a wave of embarrassment...

“Even if you need to complete some bounty, you can just call Cao Le, right?” Zhao Manyan said.

"I was worried something might happen to him, so I called both of you together," Lingling replied.

"Actually, I really have something to do. You can take Zhao Manyan with you to do it."

“Cao Le, what if my sister comes back... and I tell her you come here to bully me every day, won’t she bring up all the old and new grudges against you?” Lingling said.

"Hey, she's your sister, she knows you better than I do," Cao Le said nonchalantly.

"But my sister has wanted to beat you up for a long time, after all, you ruined my sister's reputation~"

"She can't beat me."

"Do you think you can fight back?"

"Okay, you win!" Cao Le said, looking exasperated.

This little girl, when she's not cute, really makes you want to spank her little bottom until it's red!

Zhao Manyan smiled and said, "In that case, I'll head back."

"What are you going back to? I'll have to go for a walk in the wilderness with you. You still want to pick up girls?" Cao Le naturally wouldn't agree to that.

However, as he was talking, he suddenly realized that Zhao Manyan, that bastard, hadn't been spending all his time on his new girlfriend's belly lately.

Their strength has actually improved quite a bit!

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be busy too!"

Knowing he couldn't leave, Zhao Manyan was feeling down when he saw Cao Le's surprise at his cultivation level, and he unconsciously felt a little smug.

"That's right, you have no idea how hard I've been cultivating lately," Zhao Manyan replied subconsciously.

"What a pity, your major is only comparable to my newly awakened summoning system," Cao Le said, shaking his head with a sigh.

"???"

Zhao Manyan, who had been quite happy just moments before, suddenly felt unhappy upon hearing these words!

Listen to...

Is this human language?

This can't possibly be something one person would say!

What do you mean by comparing it to a newly awakened summoner?!

"What level are you at in the Summoning system?" Lingling asked.

"Advanced Level 2".

Zhao Manyan, who had been listening intently, exclaimed, "Holy crap!!!"

At this moment, he was utterly devastated.

Lingling wasn't too surprised, since she wasn't a magician anymore. She then asked, "So, you've contracted a beast?"

Cao Le paused for a moment...

"You haven't found a suitable contracted beast yet, have you?" Lingling asked, somewhat bewildered.

"No, I'm waiting to contract some monarch-like creatures later. I'm too lazy to raise them; it's too expensive," Cao Le replied.

Zhao Manyan rolled his eyes at Cao Le: "Brother, do you think monarch-level demons are idiots?"

“That’s right. If demons at the monarch level were so easy to enslave, who would bother to spend so many resources to cultivate them?” Lingling added.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a summoning system; whether I have it or not is unimportant. Besides, aren't my deceased kings and their undead armies all my summons? Actually, I'm not in a hurry for summoned beasts. After all, if they're too weak, they're practically useless and just a waste of resources, aren't they?"

After hearing what Cao Le said, even Lingling didn't know what to say!

I know perfectly well that this person is faking it...

But unfortunately, neither she nor Zhao Manyan had any way to refute it!

363. Numerous trivial matters.

"Lingling, what exactly is this bounty you mentioned?" Zhao Manyan changed the subject.

He simply couldn't stand watching Cao Le show off any longer!

This is such a blow to my confidence!

At this moment, he suddenly realized the importance of Mo Fan!

Not having anyone by my side is a nightmare!
