The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

The most urgent task is to seize the maze in Christian Academy while the group stage is still going on.

Although this maze is surrounded by the [Christian Academy] and is protected by layers of magic circles, outsiders cannot enter or exit at will on weekdays.

But today was different - according to convention, every time the academy hosted an exchange competition, it would open some unimportant academy facilities to contestants from the other five academies.

For example, training grounds, canteens, guesthouses...

After killing monsters in the maze, only magic stones will be dropped, and it is usually only used as a place for the academy to arrange trials.

It is not very attractive in the eyes of both teachers and students.

Therefore, this maze is also one of the academy facilities open to contestants.

If you don’t go now, when will you stay?

Wanxing took Luo Ai'er and Xingyi all the way smoothly, and there were even enthusiastic students from the Christian Academy who helped to show them the way.

After arriving at the entrance of the Christian Maze, he showed his contestant's badge to the guard and was allowed to pass.

Wanxing didn't bother to be polite with them and teleported into the [Christian Maze] in a burst of white light.

……

Half an hour later, on the 20th floor of [Christian Maze],

With a light sweep of her claws, Xingyi tore the main BOSS of the maze floor into pieces. The fragments collapsed and scattered all over the ground. Amidst the sound of bangs, the body of the BOSS, which had lost its magic stone, quickly lost its pigment and turned into dust and flew away. Not even the corpse was left, as if it had never existed in the first place.

Although the level gap between the two sides was too large, and the experience value was reduced to 0 due to the high-level penalty, Wanxing was still very satisfied with the items opened from the treasure chest:

【Congratulations on obtaining 1 gold coins.】

[Congratulations on obtaining the Labyrinth Heritage—"Inheritance of the Business Goddess·I."]

[Congratulations on obtaining the maze's secret treasure—"The Source of Magic Power."]

[Note 1: You have intercepted the opportunity in the Christian Labyrinth of Heroes. The purity of Longgu Kaiwu's protagonist aura has dropped by 1%. The current purity is 92%!]

[Note 2: You have obtained the qualification to clear the Christian Labyrinth. Others (including the brave) will not be able to activate the BOSS in this labyrinth!]

[Note 3: The purity of your super villain aura has increased by 1%. The current aura purity is 8%. Please keep up the good work and create more glory!]

As Wanxing expected, the divine inheritance of [Christian Labyrinth] came from the Goddess of Commerce.

Chapter 168: Nine Lava Dragons

After all, the first Duke Christian highly respected the Goddess of Commerce, so it is very likely that the maze was built by the Goddess of Commerce.

Wanxing didn't even feel proud for a moment about intercepting the brave man's opportunity.

There was not even enough time to practice the newly acquired [Business Goddess Inheritance],

Immediately rush to the next battlefield and continue to attack the upper level of the maze with Luo Ai'er and Xing Yi.

Along the way, only the main BOSS of the maze floor can allow the Wanxing team to stop for a short while - after all, they still need to open the treasure chest to obtain the inheritance and secret treasures of the maze, and the gold coins are just picked up by the way.

As for ordinary monsters, Wanxing doesn't bother to pay attention to them as long as they don't block his way - the experience points are very small due to the high-level penalties, and he doesn't want to waste time.

Any monsters blocking the way will be smashed to pieces by Xing Yi in dragon form.

With overwhelming combat power and Wanxing's strategy of not wanting to fight any longer, it took less than half a day for the Wanxing team to conquer the 60th floor of the [Christian Maze].

I opened the treasure chest on the 2th floor and obtained gold coins, [Inheritance of the Goddess of Commerce II] and [Source of Magic].

I opened the treasure chest on the 3th floor and obtained gold coins, [Inheritance of the Goddess of Commerce·III] and [Source of Magic].

I opened the treasure chest on the 4th floor and obtained gold coins, [Inheritance of the Goddess of Commerce IV] and [Source of Magic].

Opened the treasure chest on the 5th floor and obtained gold coins, [Inheritance of the Goddess of Commerce·V] and [Source of Magic].

The BOSS on the 60th floor is the LV [Giant Magic War Doll].

Under the interweaving of spatial fluctuations and ancient magic, the [Giant Magic War Doll] makes a shocking appearance in an unimaginable posture.

At first, a strange light flashed, gradually converging into the streamlined form of the Giant Magic War Puppet. Its immense form, clad in icy mithril armor and inlaid with dazzling magical runes, gave it a cold and mysterious presence. Its massive mechanical arms were armed with razor-sharp blades, heavy magic crystal cannons, and a variety of other weaponry. Every detail imbued it with the power of ancient and powerful magic, revealing its immense destructive power.

As soon as this [Giant Magic War Doll], which combines magic and mechanical engineering, appeared, it discovered the existence of the Wanxing Team and entered combat status immediately.

It was seen rising slowly, and the space around it seemed to be distorted by its powerful magic. The air was filled with rich elemental fluctuations. Wind, fire, water, earth... and other elements reached an unprecedented harmonious resonance at this moment, forming all kinds of wonderful scenes - flames swirled in the air, forming a huge ring of fire; water turned into sharp ice blades, surrounding the [Giant Magic War Doll]; the wind element turned into a storm, providing the [Giant Magic War Doll] with flight power; and the earth element condensed into an indestructible shield, guarding the body of the [Giant Magic War Doll].

At the same time, it unfolded the huge mechanical wings behind it, and out flew a large number of floating magic crystal cannons, as many as thousands!

The eyes of the ready-made [Giant Magic War Puppet] suddenly lit up. They were two dazzling magic gems, revealing a deep and wise light, and it had obviously locked onto the Wanxing team.

Suddenly, eighty-eight brilliant starlights shot down, piercing through the body of the [Giant Magic War Puppet] and locking it tightly.

The main BOSS of the floor, who was just about to launch an attack, found himself sealed by the vast and endless starlight before he could show his power!

In desperation, the [Giant Magic War Doll] unwillingly entered the "runaway" mode. With a deafening roar, complex red lines began to appear on its body, and then its entire body was enveloped in dazzling red light.

Its eyes flashed with violent light, and it recklessly wielded destructive power in an almost crazy and self-destructive manner, trying to break free from the constraints of the [Star Sealing Technique].

Every flash of light was accompanied by the shattering and collapse of the body of the [Giant Magic War Doll]. However, the starlight that stretched across the sky remained motionless. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not shake the starlight in the slightest.

However, what surprised Wanxing was that those floating magic crystal cannons seemed to operate independently - similar to the monsters summoned by other BOSSes.

Therefore, even when the [Giant Magic War Puppet] was completely sealed by the [Star Sealing Technique], thousands of floating magic crystal cannons were still able to launch a counterattack.

They shuttled randomly in the air, dazzling the onlookers, and formed a fire network from a high position.

As the muzzle of the magic crystal cannon flashed, emitting a low and terrifying roar, streams of scorching flames spurted out, turning into destructive beams of light that instantly tore through the air and hit the location of Wanxing.

After a round of concentrated fire, even the earth was set on fire and burned with raging flames.

Wanxing and Luo Ai'er, who were hiding in the khaki light shield, were unharmed. He snorted coldly, holding the [Holy Sword·Fireworks] and pointed towards the sky, and thousands of lava dragons appeared out of thin air.

This is the brilliant-level fire magic [Nine Lava Dragons] that he created through the [Inheritance of the God of Fire] - these lava dragons have no entity, they are just a ball of blazing flames, and countless sparks splash out during the flight.

Under the dual amplification of [Holy Sword Fireworks] and [Fire Element Affinity MAX], this magic can even unleash the power of legendary magic - the lava dragons that were supposed to be only nine have become thousands, and the destructive power has also been greatly improved.

Moreover, because lava dragons have no physical body, ordinary attacks are of no use to them.

The destructive beam of light from the floating magic crystal cannon could only blast a big hole in the lava dragon's body.

As the flames surge and condense, the lava dragon can recover to its original state in an instant.

What's more important is that each lava dragon is nearly a hundred feet long. Although the BOSS space on the 60th floor is not small, it is basically filled with thousands of lava dragons.

This meant that the floating magic crystal cannons were surrounded by enemies on all sides, with nowhere to escape.

The lava dragon's counterattack was also simple and brutal. It each found a floating magic crystal cannon and flew into it, causing it to explode.

The originally dark blue ceiling of the maze suddenly became brighter, as if thousands of little suns were lit up.

The attack of those floating magic crystal cannons is okay, but their defense capabilities are relatively weak.

Faced with such terrifyingly powerful wide-area magic, thousands of floating magic crystal cannons were not spared and were all instantly vaporized in the boundless light and ultra-high temperature.

While Wanxing was taking action to deal with the monsters, Xingyi was not idle either.

After unleashing the [Star Sealing Technique], she immediately used her Dragon Claws to forcibly dismantle the [Giant Magic War Doll], its seemingly impenetrable defense gradually crumbling under Xingyi's frenzied attack. Each swing of the Dragon Claws was accompanied by a deafening roar and a dazzling light, and in a short while, the [Giant Magic War Doll] was completely shredded.

Chapter 169: Give & Take

【ding~】

[Congratulations on killing the giant magic puppet, the floor master of the 60th floor of the Christian Labyrinth. Experience points increased!]

The experience points provided by the boss were quite generous, but Wanxing fed them all to the [Inheritance of the Goddess of Commerce], mastering the first four powers of the inheritance.

Therefore, his magician level, warrior level and Xingyi's level experience bars did not increase.

Afterwards, Wanxing did not continue to challenge the 61st floor, not because he was unable to defeat the enemy, but mainly because the purpose of this trip had been achieved - to intercept the maze opportunity of Longgu Kaiwu, the son of luck. Now Wanxing has obtained the qualification to attack the Christian maze, and the son of luck will not be able to activate the BOSS in this maze!

If you just want to kill monsters and level up, you can do that in Russell Maze.

If he continued to attack Christian's Labyrinth, he would come back only when he was confident of defeating the BOSS on the 70th floor.

And since we have already been to the [Christian Labyrinth] this time, next time we come, we can just let Xingyi use space movement.

The key point is that Wanxing is still preparing to assassinate Hachioji, so he has no time to continue killing monsters and leveling up.

Of course, the spoils still need to be processed first, which won’t take much time.

First, according to convention, Wanxing divided 15 gold coins equally between Luo Ai'er and Xingyi.

He himself used five inheritance light balls.

[Do you accept the inheritance of the Goddess of Business? ]

After clicking to accept, the five inheritance light balls directly turned into white light and merged into his body.

[Inheritance of the Business Goddess V]

[Power 1: Transmute Stone into Gold—Consume magic power to construct a microscopic domain that eliminates the "weak interaction force," microscopically transforming the elements that make up stone into gold!] (Mastered!)

It is well known that the formation process of heavy elements such as gold (that is, elements with atomic numbers greater than iron) is very complicated.

They cannot be produced directly through nuclear fusion, because nuclear fusion no longer releases energy after the iron element, but instead requires absorbing energy.

Therefore, gold is mainly synthesized through neutron capture reactions in extreme astronomical events such as supernova explosions or neutron star mergers that occur at the end of a star's life cycle.

This power of "Turning Stone into Gold" simply and crudely eliminates the "weak interaction force" between microscopic particles, and uses magic power to forcibly condense protons and neutrons to synthesize gold elements.

She is worthy of being the goddess in charge of business, trade and wealth!

The first power inherited is the mass production of gold. Aren’t you afraid of causing inflation?

This power is similar to the unlimited QE of the United States in Wanxing's previous life - it is the people of the world who suffer, but he himself enjoys it.

But since the beneficiary now is Wanxing himself, he has nothing to say. Just think of it as another way to make money.

After thinking about "being strict with others and lenient with oneself", he continued reading.

[Power 2: Shopping Discounts - You can force a % discount on any purchase, and the merchant will automatically come up with a reasonable explanation, so you won't notice anything is wrong.] (Mastered!)

This power seems a little off, it can actually directly change the minds of merchants, a bit like hypnosis or world modulation mode...

Unfortunately, this type of hypnosis only works when it comes to paying for something.

Otherwise, Wanxing could develop it well and see where the limit of this power is.

Power 3: Double the Price – When selling anything, you can forcibly double the price, and the buyer will take it for granted and won't notice anything wrong. (Mastered!)

Well, shopping discounts and doubling the sales price combined are enough to control the world's business trade. The inheritance of the goddess of commerce is very consistent with her identity.

However, Wanxing is not short of money, and the above powers are too useless!

Can I have some powers that can be used in combat?

In fact, it was Wanxing's misunderstanding. There is no worst power, only the most incompetent user.

For example, the power of turning stone into gold can expand the field of eliminating "weak interaction force". Theoretically speaking, it can even rub out "strong interaction force material" with bare hands - the indestructible layer on the surface of water droplets.

If Wanxing can use this to comprehend the grand unified theory, it will not be impossible to control gravity and electromagnetic force.

After all, this is a world with magic, and anything is possible.

Thinking back, Wanxing then looked at the remaining two powers:

[Power 4: Give & Take - You can offer some form of favor or assistance in exchange for the soul of an intelligent being... Of course, the other party has the right to refuse the deal! But if the other party agrees to the deal and accepts your favor, you will gain control of their soul.] (Mastered!)

Seeing this power, Wanxing nodded with satisfaction. Finally, something useful has come!

Although it looks like a devil's deal at first glance, and it also looks like a devil's deal in practice, we can't just smear someone's innocence like this... After all, Wanxing is not a devil... And trading is the business of the goddess of commerce. Can a goddess be considered a devil?

In short, this is the regular power of God and a very useful means of control, so Wanxing accepted it with a smile.

[Power 5: Contract Spirit - Using this power allows you to judge the target. If the target possesses a Contract Spirit (has never violated any contract), they will not be affected. If the target does not possess a Contract Spirit (has previously violated a contract), your damage to the target will be doubled, and the damage the target inflicts on you will be halved. This state lasts permanently.] (Currently at 0% progress, unusable until you learn it!)

[Introduction: The Business Goddess's inheritance is divided into nine parts: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX. They can be obtained by defeating the main boss of the Christian Labyrinth.]

Power 5 [Contract Spirit] is obtained by opening a treasure chest after killing the [Giant Magic War Doll], so Wanxing has not yet infused experience points to practice it, so it cannot be used for the time being.

But the good news is that this is also a power that is helpful in combat. It can give a permanent negative BUFF to opponents who lack a sense of contract - of course, this BUFF is only effective between Wanxing and the target.

When the target attacks others or is attacked by others, the damage remains normal.

It seems that I have to make a judgment about the enemy before fighting in the future. Wan Xing thought so and closed the information interface.

As for the five [Sources of Magic] that came out of the treasure chest, Wanxing planned to save up seven of them and then create an [Infinite Magic Glove] for each magician in the team.
