Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Back in Shanghai, I first went to the residence of the Liu sisters to catch up with them.

After coaxing and feeding her older sister, Cao Le used the excuse of chatting to comfort her younger sister as well...

Liu Xian actually knew about the relationship between Liu Ru and Cao Le a long time ago, but she just didn't say it out loud, and this girl thought her older sister didn't know.

She was torn between guilt and the pain of bearing the consequences of the very act that should have been used to stab her sister...

To be honest, Liu Xian's occasional outings made Liu Ru's heart race, and even made Cao Le feel a little guilty!

But that's what makes us happy~~~

If life lacks excitement, can it still be called life?

He stayed with Liu Xian for two days, helping the sisters supplement their living expenses and buying them some clothes and jewelry before leaving.

A lover, of course, should be pampered.

Moreover, compared to the money spent on them and the resources he uses for his own cultivation, it's just a drop in the ocean!

...

That evening, Cao Le returned to Nestlé.

Although he didn't raise these animals, he still needs to come back and spend more time with them while he's away for a while, otherwise it wouldn't be good if they became strangers the next time they meet.

"You said you're going to the ancient capital for training!?" Mu Nujiao asked Cao Le with some surprise.

"Why are you so surprised? When your cultivation reaches a plateau, combat is the best way to improve. And the ancient capital is naturally the best choice," Cao Le replied.

Countless dynasties have risen and fallen, and countless soldiers have been buried in the yellow sands!

As the sun rises in the east, all things revive and come to life.

After the sun sinks below the horizon, all spirits revel, eagerly tearing off the soil, shrouds, and coffin lids that cover them, and singing praises to the darkness!

Mu Nujiao was naturally surprised and looked at Tang Miao with some concern, saying, "For training, it doesn't necessarily have to be in the ancient capital."

"I don't know why I want to go there. Maybe it's because there are some acquaintances there, my classmates from Bocheng, so I'm planning to go there to take a look," Cao Le said ramblingly.

Visiting classmates? That's absolutely out of the question.

He went to the ancient capital for only one thing: to upgrade the level of his magical artifact!

It's already so powerful at the Spirit level. If it reaches the Soul level and crosses the threshold of the higher ranks, it will probably be a big shot in the higher ranks as well.

"and many more..."

Ai Tutu suddenly interrupted, looking at Cao Le and saying, "You just said your cultivation was stuck?"

"Mm." Cao Le nodded.

Ai Tutu then asked, "So what is your cultivation level now?"

Hearing Ai Tutu's words, Mu Nujiao suddenly realized something. It seemed Cao Le was already able to use level three shadow magic during his training in the desolate city!?

So...

"I've reached the intermediate stage and am now aiming for the advanced stage," Cao Le said truthfully.

"Oh My God!!!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Tutu's ample bosom jumped!

This is outrageous!

He'd only just advanced to the second level of the intermediate rank, and that was already thanks to the support of his family's resources. And this was only one element at the second level...

But what about Cao Le?

It hasn't been that long!

They've already reached the mid-stage Great Perfection!

Not to mention Ai Tutu, even Mu Nujiao looked incredulous.

Even she has only just completed the second level of dual-element cultivation. As for entering the third level, it will probably take at least a year and a half.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!

Both girls were deeply shocked and went back upstairs...

Cao Le was completely dumbfounded. Hearing how awesome he was, he wondered why those two girls, who were hoping to throw themselves at him, had both left.

But the girls had already left, so even if he wanted to say something, he had no chance.

...

The clouds were as thick as black velvet, blocking out all the sunlight.

Upon arriving at Xianyang Airport, it immediately felt like it was about to rain.

It was still broad daylight, and the spirits were all sleeping in their graves. Xianyang was quite a distance from Xi'an, and since he had no other means of transportation, he had no choice but to take a car towards Xi'an.

We had to get into the city before nightfall, because nighttime is when the undead are active, and if we were still outside the city then, we would be doomed.

...

The ancient capital of Xi'an has an ancient city wall. The area inside the city wall is considered the city center, while the area outside the wall includes other urban areas such as the Wild Goose Pagoda and the Forest of Steles. The inner city wall is primarily used for sightseeing and tourism.

Having lived this life and the last, this is my first time here.

When entering the city, there are military mages guarding the area.

During the day, things were alright; the movement of living people in and out wasn't strictly controlled. However, as evening approached, the military began to restrict people from leaving the city, because everyone knew that once outside the protective outer walls, ordinary people would become food for the undead...

Most importantly, some mages might not only become food, but also become part of the undead army. Perhaps as humans they weren't particularly powerful, but here, after becoming undead through resentment, they become a catastrophic force.

Of course, not all mages will become undead when they are out in the world, unless they are extremely unwilling to accept it...

In short, this is a place that breeds the dead.

Even if you don't feel anything during the day, it's a completely different scene at night. And next to the ancient capital is the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling demons seem to dislike these undead creatures, so the military mages guarding this place only need to deal with the undead.

...

116. Mu Bai

Arriving here in an unfamiliar place, Cao Le naturally contacted Mu Bai, this scheming man, first.

Mu Bai had been waiting there for a while, and when he saw Cao Le, he called out, "Here!"

It's been almost two years since we last saw each other after the disaster in Bo City.

Mu Bai was still dressed impeccably, with his hair styled meticulously, and his outfit, whether real or fake, made him look like a rich kid.

In short, he's still as secretly passionate as ever...

However, it's clear that this guy has lost some of his former pride and arrogance, and gained a more composed and steady demeanor, suggesting that the events in Bocheng have had a significant impact on him.

To put it simply, it gives off a fatherly vibe, as if the child has grown up quite a bit.

"Long time no see. You're still as reserved as ever. No wonder Mo Fan always calls you a green tea guy," Cao Le said as he walked over.

Upon hearing what Cao Le said, Mu Bai's face darkened, and he turned to leave as if he didn't recognize him.

"Hey, hey, hey, just kidding, just kidding..." This is a free meal ticket, how could Cao Le let him leave, he quickly said.

Mu Bai then stopped and snorted, "Why didn't he come to the ancient capital?"

"Damn, I'm here and you're giving me a sour look, then you ask me why Mo Fan isn't here. You don't actually have any special feelings for him, do you?" Cao Le asked Mu Bai with a surprised look.

"Get out of here..." Mu Bai said, unable to bear it any longer.

He only gave Mo Fan a dog as an opponent!

What made you have this idea?

There was no way around it; he and Mo Fan had never gotten along since childhood, and during the Bo City disaster, he was even bossed around by Mo Fan... Of course, Mu Bai was unhappy!

As an outstanding member of a prominent family, he ultimately fell short of a peasant; one can only imagine how he felt.

"hey-hey..."

Seeing that he was in a state of distress, Cao Le asked again, "How are you now? Why didn't you go to live in the capital with Mu Zhuoyun and the others?"

“My uncle bought a street, and almost all the people who migrated from Bocheng do small businesses here. Although they are not very rich, they can still make ends meet. As for going to the capital, hehe... Mu Shi has never taken us seriously. Even Uncle Mu Zhuoyun is not doing very well.”

After discussing the affairs of the people of Bocheng, Mu Bai added, "Zhao Kunsan is helping to manage things, while I am focusing on cultivation and studying at the Ancient Capital Academy."

"Hmm, he did do a good thing." Cao Le said, thinking to himself: If he didn't know that Mu He was planning to kill the people of the city, he would really have treated his fellow villagers very well.

At least they weren't forced to live under someone else's roof...

Unfortunately... it was all just an act.

After the disaster in Bocheng, many people lost their homes and were forced to leave their villages. They thought they could finally enjoy their old age here, but who could have imagined that in less than a year, another catastrophe would strike...

Mu Bai had nothing to say about Mu He. After all, his uncle had treated him quite well. And even if he had lost all humanity, he had still been more than kind to Mu Bai.

Just as Mu Bai himself said, if Mu He's good intentions towards him were fake, then it wouldn't have been Yu Ang who was recommended to Salang, but him.

"What are you doing here?" Mu Bai then asked.

"I've heard there's been constant warfare here, so of course I'm here to gain experience," Cao Le replied.

"Mingzhu Academy is already one of the top universities in the country, and I heard that you even beat the Imperial Capital Academy in this year's exchange student competition. Doesn't the Imperial Capital Academy have a good training environment?" Mu Bai asked, puzzled.

“Everyone’s cultivation method is different. Staying in the Anjie all the time can lead to a bottleneck in cultivation. Coming out for a stroll might bring a different experience. I’ve never been to the Ancient Capital before. I’ve heard that it’s full of undead, so I came.”

Cao Le looked at Mu Bai and said solemnly, "Without experiencing life-and-death battles, if you want to break through by cultivating, the advanced level will become a huge hurdle!"

He's actually just here to grind monsters.

Ironically, what he said made Mu Bai feel somewhat inferior...

I don't know if Mu Bai's intelligence has gone to waste, but he actually believed it. He even seemed genuinely interested in the suggestion, as if his eyes lit up?

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. As the host, you could show me around tonight," Cao Le added.

It was just a simple act, but who knew it would turn out so convincingly that even Mu Bai, a repressed pervert, was smitten...

"Okay, let's go. I'll take you to see your old classmates first. It's been so long since we've seen each other. It's a good opportunity for us all to get together," Mu Bai said.

"Who are they?" Cao Le asked knowingly.

“Zhao Kunsan, Wang Sanpang, Zhou Min... they’re all here,” Mu Bai said.
