Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"Zhou Min is here too. I heard you and Zhou Min got along quite well later." Cao Le asked Mu Bai, recalling what Mo Gouzi had once said.

"No way..."

Mu Bai's handsome cheeks flushed slightly, it seemed that it was indeed true.

Did you hold hands?

"We're not what you think!" Mu Bai quickly stopped Cao Le when he heard him making such a careless remark.

"Is that so? You're too afraid to confess?"

“She…she likes Mo Fan…” Mu Bai sighed.

This is a major reason why he is unhappy with Mo Fan.

Mu Bai is clearly very outstanding, but no matter what kind of girl he is, he always likes those outspoken thugs!

But someone as handsome, dashing, and polite as himself is not well received...

He wanted to ask himself, "What's wrong with this world?"

When did aesthetics change so much?!

It has to be said, when Mu Bai gets into a reserved but passionate mood, he's truly unmatched. Although he appears very casual, his eyes clearly reveal his resentment...

You clearly like someone, but you don't pursue them.

Cao Le kindly advised, "You really are a closet pervert. Listen to me, these days good girls are like cabbages in a field. If no one picks them, anyone has the right to take advantage of them. If you don't seize the opportunity, it'll be your loss. I'm doing this for your own good, so you don't end up alone for the rest of your life... Most importantly, don't be a virgin when you're old enough to be."

Speaking of which, because of this incident, this guy has been the subject of a lot of teasing and ridicule from Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan.

Mu Bai simply ignored Cao Le's fallacious reasoning.

They were old classmates, and Zhou Min had already expressed her feelings, so he didn't want to create any more awkwardness.

"Stop talking nonsense, I've already made plans with them."

As they headed towards the agreed-upon location, Mu Bai didn't forget to tell Cao Le, "Don't say anything out of line later..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, am I the kind of person who talks big?" Cao Le patted his chest and assured him.

.....

117. Gathering

After following Mu Bai to an authentic Shaanxi cuisine restaurant, Zhao Kunsan and Wang Sanpang arrived one after the other. Zhou Min arrived a little later...

Although I don't have any deep friendships with them, nor any special stories with them.

But for some reason, Cao Le felt quite happy when he saw a few people sitting there.

Zhou Min was dressed simply in white today. Her phoenix eyes still held the pride and stubbornness of her youthful days. While she might not be considered a stunning beauty, she had shed her youthful naiveté and gained a touch of mature charm.

It has to be said that once a girl grows up, she really does undergo a dramatic transformation.

Of course, Cao Le simply admired her for a moment, then looked at Zhou Min and said, "Zhou Min is getting more and more beautiful. What are you guys thinking about all day long? Don't you have any ideas about such a beautiful girl?"

Zhou Min glared at Cao Le with a hint of reproach.

As for the other three, two of them did have ideas, but they were just stuck beginner mages, what use were their ideas?

As for Mu Bai, he was already regretting saying so much to Cao Le!

"It's not easy for everyone to get together like this, so let's have a drink first," Mu Bai said, offering a glass of wine.

Seeing Mu Bai's hand filled with white wine, ready to down it!

Is this some kind of attempt to drink someone to death?

Although he can hold his liquor well, he was looking forward to experiencing the baptism of the undead battlefield that night, so how could he go up against him?

"You're taking me to see the ghosts of the ancient capital tonight, don't be so reckless. If we can't go, we can always wait until tomorrow. But if we do go, you'll only have death as your only option," Cao Le advised.

Mu Bai raised an eyebrow, but did not put down his wine glass, the meaning of which seemed self-evident.

He was warning Cao Le, "If you dare to spout nonsense, I'll drink half your life off you today!"

Cao Le's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself, "I didn't even intend to say anything!"

Zhou Min also chimed in, "That's right, it seems Mu Bai was on duty today. It's not good if you drink too much."

Mu Bai then took a small sip and gestured for everyone to continue...

That bastard is quite the smooth talker. He was clearly provoked by me, yet he still gritted his teeth and said he was happy to see me.

"Cao Le, why aren't you staying in Shanghai? Why are you here?" Zhou Min asked again.

"I've never seen a battlefield before. I heard that the undead here are endless and the war in the ancient capital is never-ending, so I came to take a look," Cao Le replied.

"What about Mo Fan? He's in the same school as you, why didn't he come?" Zhou Min asked again.

This girl is quite straightforward; at least when she's not here, she doesn't try to hide anything.

“Although we’re from the same school, we don’t see each other very often. Besides, he had some trouble while he was doing his internship and just got back, so he didn’t come with us,” Cao Le replied.

Well, after hearing what Cao Le said, Zhou Min had no choice but to give up.

Although she didn't see the person she wanted to see, as an old classmate, she still welcomed Cao Le's visit.

Moreover, when she heard that Cao Le wanted to experience the battlefield of the dead, and that Mingzhu Academy had defeated Mu Ningxue as their representative during the exchange student event, she became quite curious about Cao Le's strength.

"By the way, what's your strength now?"

For the people of Bocheng, Mu Ningxue is absolutely a top-tier prodigy!

She was defeated by Cao Le. It's hard to imagine just how powerful Cao Le must be.

"Me? Well, I'm doing alright, I've reached the third level of cultivation." Seeing the questioning looks from the others, Cao Le unusually kept a low profile.

Even so, it still surprised all four of them!

A third-level cultivation level certainly couldn't be just the third level of the initial stage. After all, he was stronger than Mo Fan, even though their match was somewhat chaotic. But Mo Fan was clearly not the kind of person who would hold back.

So when he lost, it was truly because he was inferior to Cao Le!

Most importantly, how could a beginner level three mage become famous at Pearl Academy?

Although he was only known by a group of familiar classmates...

"You're really something else... When we were fighting the Ghost Wolf Beast, I felt your cultivation was higher than ours, but I didn't expect you to be this far ahead. If only I could cultivate to the third level and possess the Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces, then I could deal with the Corpse General... That way, my ranking at school would be higher." Zhou Min sighed.

As she spoke, she also explained the ranking rules to Cao Le.

"Mu Bai, you're in luck. With me with you today, your points are probably going to explode," Cao Le said with a smile.

Mu Bai shook his head and said, "That won't work..."

"What, you don't believe in my strength?" Cao Le felt underestimated and was even tempted to drag him to the outer city wall right now.

"It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but the points for this kill need to be earned independently. We can't rely on anyone's help," Mu Bai explained.

"Ang~"

Cao Le could accept that, and then said, "Well, brother, I'm sorry, you probably won't have a chance to hunt the undead tonight."

As a kill hunter, how could I let Mu Bai take my kills?

"You're not trying to steal my kill, are you?" Mu Bai seemed to have seen through Cao Le's thoughts and said warily.

"How could that be..." Cao Le replied, sounding rather unconvincing.

"Hehe...but it doesn't matter anyway. I've already accumulated enough points this semester to get into the top 100. If you can wipe out all the undead, not only will I be short of points, but all the people of the ancient capital will probably have the utmost respect for you," Mu Bai said.

"If I had that kind of ability, would I still be sitting here bragging to you guys?"

...

"Hahaha...."

Seeing Cao Le's serious expression, the group hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. The dinner ended amidst laughter and chatter. Afterward, Mu Bai led Cao Le toward the outer city wall.

Zhou Min went back to cultivate. Although they were classmates, it was already a great honor that she gave up her cultivation time for a few hours to come out and get together.

As for Wang Sanpang and Zhao Kunsan, they returned to their respective residences.

The two were only novice mages, and not only were they useless in fighting the undead, but they might also become a burden, so they went back.

Mu Bai and his school's duty station was located at the northwest corner of the city. The number of undead there was not as large as in the other fronts, making it a suitable place for magic students to train and improve their rankings.

Upon entering, one needs to wear their own unique badge. Cao Le had prepared one; after all, in someone else's territory, the rules must be followed...

...

118. The Undead

After meeting up with Mu Bai and his classmates, everyone noticed the badge Cao Le was wearing on his chest and naturally didn't waste any words.

At Mingzhu Academy, of course, there are high school students!

Furthermore, Cao Le's strength is at the third level of the mid-tier. With someone like him coming to help, they're overjoyed and wouldn't waste any time saying anything unnecessary.

Their mission here was singular: to deal with any undead that posed a threat to the city walls. The barrier couldn't be kept open indefinitely. Servant-level undead were manageable; they could be easily killed before they even reached the city. But the warrior-level undead were a different story; they possessed the power to breach the city walls.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to send out mid-level mages, such as hunter mages or students, outside the military, to take charge of killing them.

Of course, since we need to leave the city, everyone here must be at least a mid-level mage.

After all, for a novice mage to go out, there is almost no chance of returning alive.

The area outside the ancient city walls was like a ghost town, where at night, spirits would wander out, as if strolling through a ghost market.

The main reason why so many undead are born here is because this is where the ancient king created necromancy!

Moreover, since him, there are many royal tombs here.

The powerful aura of death accumulated over thousands of years has made this place a paradise for the dead.

The first wave of undead did not attack humans much.

However, as time went by, some changes in nature led to the current situation.

After the light completely dissipated, the soil outside the city wall loosened, and then a strange cry of "Ugh!" came from it.

The people here seem to have become used to it.
