Versatile Mage: Ten Thousand Fires Surrender

Chapter 224 The Prelude to the Black Snake
After losing interest, Ling Xiuyuan decided to make a quick decision. He changed his previous meek fighting style and planned to end the battle directly.

Driven by his emotions, the nearby fire elements gathered one after another, and a beam of flames burst out from under his feet, turning into a pillar of fire that soared into the sky.

In the blazing fire, the flames gathered and formed on Ling Xiuyuan's right arm, turning into a lifelike oriental dragon.

Fierce Fist · Flame Dragon · Change · Youlong

The flame dragon drew a strange trajectory in mid-air, twisting and turning, avoiding all the magic that intercepted it, and rushed to the feet of Mo Fan and others.

Afterwards, the turbulent fire waves engulfed everyone's figures, and the explosive flames scattered in all directions, turning into wriggling fire snakes in the air.

As the flames dissipated, only Ling Xiuyuan was left standing on the stage.

The few remaining people were overturned by the air waves generated by the explosion, and fell out of the range of the ring.

Da~ Da~
Ling Xiuyuan walked to the edge of the ring, condescendingly looked down at the few people below the stage, with a smile that was not a smile.

"Look, I have already said that all of you together are not enough for me to fight. I didn't even use high-level magic. I can beat you all with just one department and only middle-level magic."

"You guys think it's too easy to leapfrog battles. Don't talk about mid-level fights against high-level ones. Even if you're at the same level, it's extremely difficult to fight at a lower level. Without any special means, it's impossible to do it."

"Each level of improvement is a qualitative change for mages, not only because of the addition of a magic department, but also the improvement of mental power, magic control and other aspects."

Under the arena, everyone got up from the ground, looking slightly depressed.

In the battle just now, they cooperated with each other and tried their best, but they couldn't even force Ling Xiuyuan to deal with it seriously. Except for defending against Su Limeng's spiritual impact, they only used a series of magic in the whole process .

Moreover, except for the last blow, at other times, only when a few of them cast magic attacks, he would respond passively. It was like playing a turn-based game, and there was no sign of seriousness at all.

Looking at the dejected expressions of these people, Ling Xiuyuan couldn't laugh or cry.

"No, you don't really think you can beat me..."

"I'm a high-level mage. If you let a group of middle-level people kill me, how can I hang around outside in the future? Just find a place to raise pigs and forget it."

"The problem is that you haven't been serious from the beginning to the end, which is too shocking." Li Jiaxu said weakly.

Ling Xiuyuan rolled his eyes angrily.

"I think you just have little experience. If you don't have experience, you will be severely beaten by the society."

"The middle-level mage still wants the high-level mage to deal with it seriously..."

"How many dishes, drink like this?"

He turned his head and looked outside, and suggested, "Okay, it's almost noon, so I'll find a place to eat quickly. I just played some activities, and I'm a little hungry."

After speaking, he walked towards the gate of the arena without waiting for others to answer.

Coming outside the training ground, feeling the direct sunlight at noon and the abundance of fire elements in the air, Ling Xiuyuan squinted his eyes comfortably.

After standing at the door for a while, there was a sound of messy footsteps behind him.

Glancing back, Ling Xiuyuan asked in surprise, "Where's Mù Nujiao?"

Xu Yue replied, "Just now, she left from another direction, and she asked us to tell you that she has an appointment with someone else at noon, so she won't be with us, and it will be the same in the afternoon."

Ling Xiuyuan nodded, and didn't pay too much attention to it. He guessed that Mù Nujiao's visit this time should be just looking for an opportunity to test the ability of new plant species.

It's just a pity that he hasn't had time to ask about the effect of the plant species, so he can only ask next time.

Immediately, he turned around and took the lead to walk in the direction outside the school.
-
After that, Ling Xiuyuan returned to his normal routine of life. On weekdays, he either practiced at home or went to the Pearl Tower to make magic tools.

Occasionally, when I get bored, I take a few high school classmates to visit the scenic spots in Shanghai as a spare time.

Time passed so quickly, and more than a month passed in a blink of an eye, and autumn came.

On this day, Ling Xiuyuan led a few people to the door of the Three Step Pagoda.

Looking at the silver triangular tower in front of him, Li Jiaxu said jokingly: "Your school is really difficult to get into. If I knew it would take so long, I would have waited in our school for a while before coming here."

Ling Xiuyuan sneered.

"Okay, you're being good-looking even if you get a cheap one. I specifically begged our dean to move your order to the back and give you the right to be an auditor."

"What you have enjoyed in the past month or so is the treatment only available to students from the main campus of our Pearl Academy."

"If it weren't for the fact that I have a three-point face with our dean, do you think you can have this kind of treatment?"

"Is the teaching environment of our school comparable to that of your school?"

"Except for Lao Song, which one of you dare to pat your chest and say that your school is not worse than ours?"

"If you can take the opportunity to enjoy the treatment of regular students in our school, you can enjoy it secretly..."

"Then why is there such a big difference in treatment between us and Su Limeng?" Li Jiaxu retorted.

Ling Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Who made someone so talented that our dean fell in love with him..."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Li Jiaxu, walked forward, and showed the document signed by Dean Xiao to the guard at the door.

"Senior, the people behind me got the opportunity to use our three-step tower for a week, please show them the way, senior."

The student standing on the left side of the door took the document from Ling Xiuyuan's hand, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded and replied, "Sure, if you have nothing else to explain to them, I will take them in." .”

Ling Xiuyuan turned around and waved to them.

"I have already told you what should be said in advance, you just go in with this senior."

"Oh yes, Su Limeng, come and find me after you come out. Dean Xiao specifically asked me to take you to him after you come out."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for these people to answer, he waved goodbye to them and walked towards the other direction of the school.

After going around and going around, Ling Xiuyuan came to the door of the dean's office without knocking, and walked in directly without knocking on the door.

"Dean Xiao, they have already entered the three-step pagoda. If you asked me to convey it, I have already brought it."

Dean Xiao was still the same, sitting behind the desk unmoved, raised his head and smiled and said, "Hehe, that's good."

Ling Xiuyuan waited for a while, and seeing that Dean Xiao had no intention of continuing, he asked, "Then, what is your plan? Do you want to poach the corners of Jinmen Academy?"

Dean Xiao raised his hand, pointed at Ling Xiuyuan with his fingers, and said in a somewhat dumbfounded way: "You boy..."

Ling Xiuyuan shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly: "There is nothing to say about this, my friend's talent is so good, who would not like it after seeing it, besides, I didn't say that because you loved her. ……"

"Oh?" Dean Xiao asked with great interest, "How did you find out?"

Ling Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, and said helplessly: "The dean of a top university in the country, invites people to his office every now and then, and gives them a little trouble. Who can't see that this is a love of talents... ...Is it impossible to let old cows eat young grass?"

Dean Xiao laughed dumbly and said, "You boy can't speak well..."

Ling Xiuyuan curled his lips, and continued to ask: "Then, what is your idea, do you want to poach the corners of Jinmen Academy?"

Dean Xiao said slowly: "Her teacher at Jinmen Academy is a super-level master who majors in water, and is at the same level as me. It is difficult for me to snatch someone over."

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly.

The corners of Ling Xiuyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost couldn't hold back his curse.

This old man is obviously a forbidden curse of the water system, but he didn't expose his cultivation, he pretended to be like this...

In the end, Ling Xiuyuan left a sentence "Then you can figure it out yourself", then turned around and walked out of the dean's office. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to restrain his desire to complain, revealing that he knew that the old man was real. A matter of cultivation.

When he walked out of the dean's office, it was noon before he knew it. Ling Xiuyuan was planning to have a meal and then go home to practice, when the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Taking out his phone, Ling Xiuyuan looked at the caller ID and found that it was Mo Fan calling.

Didn't this kid go to find his little wife?
While wondering, Ling Xiuyuan connected the phone and put the phone to his ear.

On the other side of the phone, Mo Fan's trembling voice came.

"Old Ling, let me ask you, if there is a monster standing up to the height of a building, what level will this monster get?"

Ling Xiuyuan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, then remembered something, and asked, "Did you see a big black snake?"

On the other end of the phone, Mo Fan nodded quickly after hearing Ling Xiuyuan's question, and said overjoyed: "Yes, yes, how do you know, do you know the origin of that big snake?"

Ling Xiuyuan chuckled.

"Okay, don't be nervous, the snake won't hurt you."

"Well, I won't be able to tell for a while, I'll just go there."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Mo Fan to ask.

After hanging up the phone, he called Lingling again.

"Lingling, let me ask you something, is the elder sister in Hangcheng?"

After getting the exact answer from the other side, he continued: "It's okay, I just asked by the way, Mo Fan has something to do with me, I plan to go over there, if the big sister is here, I will stop by to visit her, anyway. My immediate boss..."

After speaking, he opened his mouth to say something more, but after hesitating for a moment, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

He originally wanted to ask Lingling to help, and in the Hunter's Association in Hangzhou, he issued a reward for collecting eagle red grass, but thinking of releasing the reward for no reason, it would seem very suspicious if he couldn't give a reason , had to give up the idea.

After chatting with Lingling casually, Ling Xiuyuan hung up the phone and booked a train ticket to Hangzhou online.

During the ticket purchase, he saw that among the push notifications at the top, there were already several push notifications about the skyscraper giant snake.

Apparently, the word has spread.

Clicking on two push notifications at random, looking at the blurry giant shadow in the photo, Ling Xiuyuan retracted his phone and walked towards the outside of the school.

In the afternoon of that day, Ling Xiuyuan took the bullet train and arrived at Hangzhou.

Not far from the train station, he saw Mo Fan and Ye Xinxia who were already waiting here.

Seeing Mo Fan's anxious expression, Ling Xiuyuan walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax, Hangcheng is not as fragile as you imagined. Even if the big snake goes crazy in the city, the defense forces here, whether overt or hidden, can kill it on the spot."

After hearing Ling Xiuyuan's words, Mo Fan hurriedly said: "In other words, that snake is real, is there really such a snake lurking in the city?"

Ling Xiuyuan shrugged, looked around, and said, "Let's go, this is not a place to talk, I booked a hotel room before I came, and I'll explain it to you when I get there."

"You still dare to live here, shouldn't you go back to the Demon City first to avoid the limelight?" Mo Fan was surprised.

In his opinion, if there is such a dangerous creature in Hangcheng, he should leave quickly and go to other cities.

Especially with Ye Xinxia beside him, he didn't want to take any risks.

Ling Xiuyuan looked Mo Fan up and down, playing with taste: "Don't you feel that your mental state is not right?"

Mo Fan looked confused, shook his head and said, "No..."

"Close your eyes and meditate for a while." Ling Xiuyuan smiled.

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed suit, and then cold sweat covered his back.

At the moment when he entered the meditation state, in his spiritual world, he saw the face of the giant snake looking at him indifferently.

He withdrew from the meditation state, panting in shock, looked at Ling Xiuyuan and asked, "What's going on?"

Ling Xiuyuan waved his hand, and said calmly: "It's nothing, that big snake's innate monster skills or something like that."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the exit.

"Let's go, I'll explain it to you when we get to the hotel."

Mo Fan had no choice but to be patient, pushing Ye Xinxia and following Ling Xiuyuan.

They took a taxi to the hotel, checked in, and the three of them came to the hotel room that Ling Xiuyuan had booked.

As soon as he entered the hotel room, before he had time to sit down, Mo Fan urged with a hasty look on his face: "Lao Ling, don't be a fool, just talk about it."

"Ah~" Ling Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I really don't have any concentration at all, you might as well be as calm as Xinxia."

"That's a black snake, a totem beast, which has guarded Hangzhou for thousands of years..."

Afterwards, he told Mo Fan what he knew about the Black Snake.
