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

Chapter 210 Mu Ningxue's Sorrow
Of course, this is also largely due to Nan Rongni's timely treatment.

After holding on for a while, everyone except Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue, who was barely standing, collapsed to the ground. Even Mu Ningxue was no exception.

This might be the difference between military mages and ordinary mages like them.
Fang Yu, on the other hand, only used beginner-level magic and coasted through the entire process, maintaining a perfect performance.

Fang Yu looked around and found that the seawater had begun to recede, and the places that had been submerged were now exposed, with the water level rising two or three meters above the surface.

As a result, the area where the siren could move was gradually reduced, and the battle was slowly coming to an end.

As the tide receded, the wet ruins of buildings scattered in the streets were revealed.

It's impossible to count how many sirens are still alive, but they have all left with the tide. Without the seawater as their strong support, their mortality rate will increase significantly, and their strength will be greatly reduced. There's no need to continue fighting.

After all, human mages are at a disadvantage due to the tides, while they are amplified.

Humans are ultimately land-based creatures. Even countries like Japan, which excel in naval warfare, have only accumulated experience through years of combat.

There are actually very few truly powerful naval mages here!
Humans may not be strong enough, but they possess extremely high intelligence.

That is wisdom comparable to those ancient demons who have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!
The drainage system of Donghai City is also incredibly powerful. Normally, it would take at least one or two days for a city like this, which has been flooded, to drain all the water. But as soon as the tide receded to the low dike, the once wet Donghai City was now only filled with shallow water, as if it had just rained. It was not flooded to a depth of ten meters at all!
The neighborhood was destroyed quickly, but it was also rebuilt quickly. Once peacetime began, military mages would immediately appear along the dike to guard against any sirens that might launch a surprise attack. The cleanup team made rapid progress, clearing all the ruins before nightfall and collecting all the sirens' corpses.

The corpses of demons are human wealth. After all, most of the territory outside the city is occupied by demons, and they possess far more resources than humans. They absorb this energy to achieve their physical strength, which means that their corpses are rich in the essence of nature.

What drives the magical civilization of humankind worldwide, besides the energy magic stones mined from nature, is mostly demons. Demons themselves are mobile mines that have absorbed countless energies!

All the corpses belong to the district lord, and someone will keep track of how many demons each district team killed.

Of course, people aren't really concerned about that right now; they just want to get back to their lodgings, take a hot shower, and then have a good night's sleep in their dry, comfortable beds.

On the other side, when they returned, Nan Jue also gave Mu Ningxue a reward.

In the previous battle, she saved Jiang Yu, Jiang Shaoxu, and Mu Tingying. Although she didn't lead them out of the battle in the end, everyone could see Mu Ningxue's contribution.

Although the Nationalist team lacks substitutes, the necessary rewards will still be provided.

Mu Ningxue didn't make a fuss; after all, she was really, really short of money right now.

……

next day!

Instructor Feng Li had already arrived at the Sea Battle City ahead of schedule due to the assassination attempt.

"Ahhh! Ah!! Let me go!! Let me go!!"

The black-clad man was screaming in agony as the evil spirits were tearing at him and biting him relentlessly. His mind seemed to explode, and he kept covering his head with his hands, his soul already riddled with wounds.

"Assassin Hall. We don't have any other information for now. Ai Jiangtu tortured us with curse magic, and that's all we could get out of him. He's very stubborn." Fang Yu said, staring at the black-clad man who had been tortured and was now limp on the ground.

"The Assassin's Guild? Getting them to take action comes at a high price," Instructor Feng Li said.

"The most likely possibility right now is still the cherry blossoms," Fang Yu said.

"I will send someone to take him back to China and have a mind-manipulation mage examine his memories. Whoever is involved will pay the price. I will stay here for the time being. If I make any further moves, I will be courting death," Feng Li said to Fang Yu.

"Alright! That's the only way," Fang Yu said.

……

At the foot of a cliff, a figure in gray stood.

"It failed." At that moment, a figure walked over and said in a somber tone.

"General Takagi, you have truly disappointed me!" the gray-haired figure replied indifferently.

“That kid is too troublesome. From observation, he is no less skilled than a veteran high-level mage,” General Takagi explained.

“Useless trash, forget it!” “Should we send someone else to take care of that guy?” General Takagi asked.

"The Chinese aren't pushovers. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. Clean up the traces. Don't let them bring him back to China. Don't disappoint me again." The somewhat hoarse voice of the gray figure came out.

……

After the high tide, it will be the day of truce, and the National Team will soon face its first assessment and elimination round.

This also marks the first period in which the various forces behind the Nationalist government members exert their influence…

……

Tokyo Naval Battle Castle, stationed in the land of Sakura, defends against the various sea monsters and sea beasts spawned in the vast sea.

The waves rippled slightly.

"Huhuhu~"

The sound of the waves echoed continuously.

He walked along the seawall, the sea breeze blowing against his clothes, gazing at the boundless sea and endless sea monsters.

Fang Yu suddenly felt his own insignificance at a certain moment.

Ugh!
It's still not strong enough!

I was stunned for a moment.

Fang Yu left the Sea Battle City and went to the Tokyo Auction House, where he sold all the essences he had collected in this battle, earning 300 million in revenue.

Adding the funds I had saved up, I purchased the necessary resources, and that was almost all spent. It just goes to show how quickly money disappears.

Raising three contracted beasts alone would consume a huge amount of money.

After purchasing what he needed, Fang Yu planned to return home.

But on the way back, he happened to see Mu Ningxue.

She was supposed to be cold and aloof, but now she seemed much more delicate. Combined with her originally aloof and independent appearance, it didn't detract from her charm at all; instead, it gave her an even more unique aura.

Mu Ningxue arrived here early in the morning; she needed a Star River Vein brimming with energy.

After all, she had been stuck at the intermediate level for far too long, so long that Mu Ningxue had tried to break through several times using her own strength, but all of them ended in failure.

That's why she came to the Tokyo auction house to inquire, but to Mu Ningxue's disappointment, the price of the Star River Vein was as high as 110 million.

Even with all the funds she had previously acquired, she only had ten million.

With Bocheng's foundation destroyed, Mu Zhuoyun's business in the capital was also effectively shut down. Her family had collapsed and could no longer provide her with support.

It was precisely because of the upcoming National Team assessment that Mu Ningxue was filled with melancholy.

Seeing her deep in thought, Fang Yu walked over and asked, "What's troubling you?"

Mu Ningxue did not respond, but her icy eyes always flickered with a sorrowful emotion.

"High-ranking? Or from the Mu family of Bocheng?" Fang Yu continued.

Mu Ningxue was taken aback, and a bitter look appeared on her face as she said, "I might not even be able to be a substitute. I know that the others are about to be promoted to the advanced level, or have already been promoted."

"So the one who was actually eliminated this time was just me. I will even lose my substitute status, let alone stand on the Venice stage."

"If they cannot prove themselves to the world on the stage of Venice, then the Bocheng Mu family will have no place in the country."
