Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

“He Yu, you can rest assured, the monkey is fine. I had Mo Fan take him to Xin Xia for treatment. Besides, you know the situation in the ancient capital now,” Lin Lan explained.

"Okay then, I thought he went to pick up girls." He Yu believed Lin Lan's words.

But this woman's sixth sense was indeed quite accurate.

Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Zhou Min asked, "I heard that you broke through to the advanced level, Lin Lan?"

"Yes, but it wasn't long ago that I broke through. It was just luck, a stroke of luck," Lin Lan said modestly.

"High-level mage! Lin Lan, you've actually broken through to the high-level!!" Wang Sanpang exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Kunsan already knew, so he remained relatively calm, but for some reason his hands kept shaking when he tried to pick up food with chopsticks.

Hurry up, you idiot! Add more food!

"Wow, that's amazing! Back in high school, I initially thought Mo Fan was the most talented and strongest person in our class, but I never expected that Lin Lan, you've been playing dumb all along and are already preparing to enter the World University Competition! You have to bring glory to our Bo City people!" Zhou Min said, blinking her big, bright eyes.

"Definitely, definitely," Lin Lan said with a smile.

Time really flies. Back in Bo City, I was just a lowly novice mage.

Nothing can be done, and there are concerns about everything.

Lin Lan now deals with the monarch every day, so she can be considered to have achieved some success.

Seeing that all his old classmates were doing well, Lin Lan was genuinely happy.

"Speaking of which, Mo Fan, you've always hung out with Lin Lan. How's your ability? Have you found a girlfriend?" Zhou Min asked with clear eyes.

Mo Fan was eating meat heartily, but stopped eating as soon as Zhou Min asked him a question.

Could Zhou Min still be hung up on him? Just because he saved her once.

"So-so. He doesn't have a girlfriend, but Zhou Min has really blossomed and is getting prettier and prettier. Why didn't you guys make a move on her in the ancient capital?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

Mo Fan wouldn't dare call himself a high-level mage in front of Lin Lan.

He doesn't know any high-level magic, and he hasn't awakened the other two magic types yet.

Zhou Min, on the other hand, with her phoenix eyes and high ponytail, exuded a girlish pride and stubbornness.

Wang Sanpang and Zhao Kun both gave dry laughs. Both of them were beginner-level mages and probably would never have the chance to break through to the intermediate level in their lifetime. Zhou Min, on the other hand, was a top student from the ancient capital academy.

Isn't that why they keep asking Lin Lan and you, Mo Fan, all sorts of questions?

"What are the special features of your ancient capital's academy? I sense that Zhou Min's cultivation level is quite high," Lin Lan asked.

This ancient capital's academy seems to have some kind of Wild Goose Pagoda, but Lin Lan doesn't know what the Wild Goose Pagoda is for.

Perhaps it's similar to the Three-Step Tower.

Zhou Min also had opportunities; she's already reached the second level of the intermediate fire element, thanks to her hard work over the past few years.

“How could I dare mention my cultivation level in front of you? Our Ancient Capital Academy has a Wild Goose Pagoda. I was cultivating inside it the day before yesterday. This Wild Goose Pagoda is similar to a large-scale spirit-level nebula magic artifact. Although it can't compare to the Three-Step Pagoda of your Pearl Academy, it is still very helpful for intermediate-level mages,” Zhou Min said excitedly.

The qualification to cultivate in the Wild Goose Pagoda also needs to be obtained, and Zhou Min has had many opportunities to do so.

Otherwise, how could one cultivate to the second level of the intermediate stage?

“That’s great. Every place has its own unique features.” Lin Lan nodded. “I don’t aspire to a high level. If only I could unleash the Fiery Fist - Nine Palaces, I could kill a large number of undead at once, deal with the Corpse Generals, earn enough points, and rank higher,” Zhou Min said.

"So your Ancient Capital Academy allocates resources based on rankings, right? By killing corpse generals?" Mo Fan asked.

“You get points for killing any undead, just different amounts,” Mu Bai explained.

“The Ancient Capital Academy has always had its students hunt undead, not engage in meaningless magical sparring between students. Focusing students’ energy on undead relieves the pressure on their defenses,” He Yu said.

This is also a unique feature of the ancient capital. The academy does not conduct magical duels, but rather practical combat. This not only helps to deal with the undead, but also improves the combat experience of mages, making them elites in dealing with the undead—a win-win situation.

“Mo Fan, aren’t you participating in the nomination competition? The ranking of the Ancient Capital Academy also determines the number of places. Right now, the students outside the outer city walls are all like they’ve been injected with chicken blood,” Mu Bai said.

Mu Bai pays more attention to Mo Fan than to Lin Lan; is this what they call a love-hate relationship?

“Besides this ranking, our Ancient Capital Academy sends students to patrol the outer city wall every now and then. Today it just so happens that it was He Yu and I’m on duty. Since you guys came, He Yu and I sneaked over from far away,” Zhou Min said with a resentful look.

"So you don't want rankings or resources? If you don't have enough credits, you won't get the resources that are rightfully yours," Mu Bai said.

“It doesn’t matter if we don’t receive it for a month. Lin Lan and Mo Fan have only come once in several years, so we definitely have to come. It’s not easy for us to get together, so this is a rare opportunity.” Zhou Min was still as carefree as she was in high school.

He Yu nodded, she was still the same as always.

Monks are not carefree; the higher their cultivation level, the more powerful the demons they face, and the greater the danger they encounter.

The disaster in Bo City taught them that even if they became mages, they could die at any time and encounter danger at any moment.

When they finally have a moment of peace and quiet, whether it's Zhou Min, He Yu, or anyone else, they all choose to get together.

The opportunity was rare, and everyone understood that all good things must come to an end.

After a few rounds of drinks, the group reminisced about their high school days, their faces no longer shrouded in the gloom of the disaster, but rather with genuine smiles.

No matter how dire the crisis, one must always look forward.

"I feel like I won't be able to sleep tonight. Zhou Min, He Yu, aren't you going to be on duty? Why don't we go to the outer city wall, kill some undead, and make some contributions for the country and the ancient capital?" Wang Sanpang said.

"Not going to the next match?" Zhao Kunsan asked.

“We are all mages, and there are even high-level mages here. What’s the point of drinking and singing? Fighting monsters and leveling up is what we mages should be doing,” Wang Sanpang said.

Wang Sanpang was tough enough that none of the others had any objections.

"Let's go then, I'll have my summoned beast take you there," Lin Lan said.

The moonlight and star trails streaked across the night sky once more, and the Frost Thunder Eagle emerged from the summoning plane.

Its power is awe-inspiring and majestic!
"What... what level is this?" The mage was physically strong, and Zhao Kunsan wasn't very drunk, but as soon as he saw the Frost Thunder Eagle, he felt several years younger.

Why do I feel so much lighter? Okay, my legs are weak...

“Commander-level…” Mu Bai only uttered three words.

Is Lin Lan not a high-level lightning elementalist?

The summoned beasts have reached the Commander level!
