Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 198 Jiang Shaoxu's Favor
then.

Baxia also explained why he had asked Fang Yu to come: he had been injured in battle with his nemesis, which had damaged his very essence and caused his cultivation to regress. He needed the totem feathers of the Feather Clan to heal him.

Fang Yu observed a moment of silence in his memory.

As expected of you, being ganged up on and beaten up, where is your dignity as a totem beast?

For the sake of saving face, they cut off all ties with the totem snake; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

After a friendly exchange, Fang Yu agreed to wait for the totem feathers to revive or for the soul fire to advance so he could treat Baxia.

As they were about to leave, Fang Yu suggested:
"How about going back to China? You can keep your little brother company."

"We, the remnants, no longer wish to associate with you humans; the ocean is a better place for us to live."

"Let's not even mention the Black Serpent," Baxia replied.

A proud old tortoise!
You deserve to be beaten!

Fang Yu secretly despised him.

"I'll take you back. I hope that when we meet again, you'll be able to fulfill your promise," Baxia said.

soon.

Fang Yu was brought back from the deserted island by Baxia, and the alarm sounded again, making the guards of Xishou Pavilion a bit nervous...

What do you want to do upon arrival?
This demon is too rampant.

Do you really think this is your backyard?

You can enter and exit the west pavilion of Shuangshouge.

Fang Yu's entry was quite simple; he was led inside as soon as his identity as a student from the National Academy was revealed.

Upon entering the West Guardian Pavilion, Fang Yu learned that Mo Fan and the others had already eaten at the banquet and had even started fighting.

See this.

Fang Yu rushed to the dueling arena...

The arena is diamond-shaped, with three corners exposed at a height of seven or eight hundred meters. Apart from the invisible barrier, there is not a single railing. The diamond-shaped arena is not thick and looks more like a flat sheet. It is supported by a stone body extending from the mountain below.

On the field, Guan Yu and Okamoto Takashi are exchanging serpentine footwork.

As soon as Fang Yu entered and saw this battle between wind-type mages, he immediately lost interest.

"Hey Fang Yu, where have you been? Why are you being so secretive?" Jiang Shaoxu asked curiously when she saw Fang Yu return.

"Want to know? Go ahead and guess!" Fang Yu replied.

Jiang Shaoxu was somewhat annoyed. She herself was naturally beautiful and possessed an alluring charm, making her a desirable object of conquest for men.

How did it end up with Fang Yu?

Why is this man's reaction so indifferent!

If Fang Yu knew what she was thinking, he would only cry out that he was wronged.

"Brother, tell me!" Jiang Shaoxu grabbed Fang Yu's arm, shook it, and looked at him in a coquettish manner.

"you!"

Fang Yu really couldn't resist.

Seeing Fang Yu's expression, Jiang Shaoxu's foxy eyes revealed a triumphant look, and then she said, "Shall we talk about it?"

Fang Yu rolled his eyes at her! If it weren't for your complicated background, a seductive fox like you would have shown you the true nature of society long ago!
“Do you remember the giant shadow that followed us across the Pacific Ocean? That was a totem!” Fang Yu said.

"A totem, so it's the one that set off the alarm at Xishou Pavilion today." Jiang Shaoxu said with some surprise.

“Yes, that’s Baxia, and it’s a brother to the Xuan Snake, the guardian deity of Hangzhou. I can communicate with it because I have the totem mark on me and what it needs,” Fang Yu said.

"A totem?" Jiang Shaoxu's tone became somewhat low.

Jiang Shaoxu said with some sadness, "I have an older brother who always likes to go on adventures and has a kind of obsessive passion for those ancient totem relics. I just don't understand what's so great about this feeling of walking on the edge of death that's worth pursuing, more important than a stable life, a peaceful city, and close family! The last time he parted from me, he told me that he had found the location of the Holy Totem."

"So, will you be exploring those ancient ruins next?" Jiang Shaoxu asked again.

"Yes. They are very useful to me," Fang Yu replied. He needed to find the Feather Clan totems to see if there was any chance to revive them, and also to improve his cultivation.

"Take me with you!" Jiang Shaoxu immediately said. She had originally planned to go on an adventure by herself after Venice, but now she could conveniently get free teammates.

After all, ruins are really dangerous!
She wanted to follow in her brother's footsteps, to walk the paths he had once walked, and once she had walked them all, she could finally say goodbye to him.

"Why would I follow you? I don't want a good-for-nothing like you," Fang Yu said disdainfully.

"My brother once told me about some of the places he's been, and there are some records in his travel journal. They might be helpful," Jiang Shaoxu said coquettishly, continuing to shake Fang Yu's arm.

"This is a great opportunity to spend time alone with me."

"Fine, fine, fine! I'm really scared of you," Fang Yu said.

This is Jiang Shaoxu.

If you put it in your bowl yourself, then you can't blame me.

On the field!

They first clashed on the ground, and soon began fighting in mid-air. In fact, Okamoto Takashi's strength was not much weaker than Guan Yu's. However, Guan Yu had a Soul-level gauntlet, which gave him an advantage in terms of equipment.

But even if it relies heavily on equipment, there's not much to say about it. After all, isn't the Nationalist team's success all about connections?
This kind of swaying battle is tiring to watch, but fortunately, the strenuous time is short, and the end time is also quite short.

Guan Yu's arm armor spikes pierced Okamoto Takashi's armored demonic weapon, and blood oozed from the armor.

However, Guan Yu himself was also swept away by a gust of wind, and was sent flying into the air before crashing heavily onto the hard floor.

“That’s enough, Guan Yusheng, representative of the Huaxia National Team,” Fujimori Nobuko immediately said.

Fujikata Nobuko disliked this group of Chinese people, but a competition must be fair and just. Okamoto Takashi did lose this match because he underestimated the amazing speed of the official fish and ignored the slight delay of the wind trap.

Of course, the main reason is that no one expected that this teenager named Guan Yu would have such a Soul-level magical artifact in his possession.

After their match ended, they were immediately taken away separately.

"You have a few broken bones. Lie down and don't move." Nan Rongni touched the ground with her hand and knew the extent of Guan Yu's injuries.

"So bad?" Jiang Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hmph, I almost managed to stab him in a vital spot, that guy is definitely in a worse state than me!" Guan Yu retorted defiantly.

"The final exchange was spectacular! I almost thought you were going to lose, but I didn't expect you to be so bold as to use your speed to force your way through the wind trap," Zu Jiming said.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to go myself. It's embarrassing to be so pathetic fighting a Sakura Gym Leader." Guan Yu had always been sarcastic, so Mo Fan naturally didn't hesitate to chime in when the opportunity presented itself.

At this point, even if Guan Yu was unhappy, he had nothing to say.

However, he knew in his heart that he had been careless! This Okamoto Takashi was no match for him!

As for the fact that a Soul-level magical artifact isn't a sign of one's own strength? What a joke! Background is also a form of strength!
