Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

"Another arrow has appeared..."

"It's Lin Lan, Lin Lan's Chaos Magic!" Jiang Yu shouted, pointing in Lin Lan's direction.

The ruins surrounding Lin Lan were a vast expanse of white, and the corpses of the two Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts were mottled with blue and purple patches, scattered here and there.

The water vapor in the air around them was freezing at a visible speed, and the air was chilling.

"Lin Lan is truly invincible. Goddess Mu's arrow was copied by his Chaos Magic. I don't know if you felt it, but Lin Lan's power is even stronger," Zhao Manyan said.

The power derived from the Chaos System's replication relies on the releaser's mental strength, so it seems that Lin Lan's mental strength is definitely no less than the fifth realm.

However, there is one thing that puzzles everyone: Lin Lan seems to have a strong affinity for ice-type magic as well.

"Let's leave here once Lin Lan returns. Mu Ningxue's arrow has taken a lot of energy," Ai Jiangtu said.

It was clear that this had consumed all of Mu Ningxue's magical energy. Her face, though usually fair, was still quite radiant and had a healthy glow, but now it appeared as a pale, exhausted white.

Faced with such mental exhaustion, the healing mage can't offer much help; all he can do is go back and rest properly.

"It's all thanks to Mu Ningxue for taking action in time!"

"That's just too domineering."

"If we face other national teams in the future, Mu Ningxue will shoot one arrow, and Lin Lan will replicate and generate another, hehehe..."

The praise for Mu Ningxue made Mu Tingying's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

She already knew about the Ice Crystal Bow. If it weren't for some inexplicable ghost, a young woman from a small family much younger than him, how could Mu Ningxue have usurped the throne and caused her to suppress him for so many years?

"Thank you," Jiang Shaoxu said sincerely.

Jiang Shaoxu never expected that Mu Ningxue would go to such lengths to save her life. In fact, along the way, Jiang Shaoxu had not been very fond of Mu Ningxue's saintly and icy demeanor and had even made a few sarcastic remarks. Now, she felt a bit guilty.

This power, which surpasses one's own level, will most likely damage oneself, and may even cause irreparable damage to the soul. Her decisive action shows that her heart is free of any impurities.

……

"Let's go, leave the rest to those high-level mages."

Not long after, Lin Lan returned to the team.

These three Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts were somewhat useful, as they dropped a spirit essence, two pieces of strange bone, and three demon galls, all of which Lin Lan pocketed.

"Lan Shen is so handsome!"

"Lan Shen, do you need a pendant?"

"..."

Lin Lan's image grew more and more imposing with each day he spent on the National Team. It was said that there was also a very powerful Chaos Mage on the foreign National Team this year.

But no matter how strong you are, are you stronger than Lin Lan?

"By the way, Lin Lan, did you suffer any damage from that arrow? The backlash from the Ice Crystal Bow seems quite severe," Ai Jiangtu asked.

Lin Lan nodded: "There's been some mental strain, but it'll be fine after some rest."

The moment Lin Lan grasped the Ice Crystal Bow that had been created, he felt an endless aura of ice elements and activated his sixth-realm spiritual power.

Even though he was already at the sixth realm and Lin Lan was a high-level ice mage, he still felt somewhat unable to control himself.

This Ice Crystal Bow has recognized its master and does not want Lin Lan's Chaos System to copy it.

Fortunately, Lin Lan's cultivation level was high, and the Ice Crystal Bow was not complete; otherwise, Lin Lan would not have dared to copy this damned thing.

It's important to know that this Ice Crystal Bow was nurtured within the body of a Mu family ice-elemental mage; countless members of the Mu family have sacrificed their lives for this bow. ...

Next, following the signs, we found the person who was to receive the Nationalist government delegation.

They were greeted by a manager from a magic association, who led them to a 400-square-meter suite with more than a dozen rooms for them to choose from.

The wounded went to rest first, while the others stayed in the central hall of the suite.

The receptionist appeared to be a man in his early thirties with a pointed chin. His eyes were particularly cunning, and his gaze would always wander intentionally or unintentionally over the girls in the group, as if he had a particular fondness for long legs. His eyes would dart downwards, making him look more like a lecherous rat.

Judging from the medals hanging on his chest, he holds a high position in the Magic Association.

"This room is chargeable. If you don't have money, you can pay with demon gall. Anyway, most mages in Donghai City are risking their lives to make a fortune. But you're unlucky to have come here and run into a demon attack. Oh, oh, not so unlucky. I heard that three commander-level creatures appeared in the 19th or 13th district. You're very lucky that you weren't there. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lai Hengbao. I'm in charge of receiving and vetting Chinese hunters in Donghai City." The man glanced at Nan Jue.

Nan Jue has the longest legs, and my gaze never left them.

"Wait, wait, we are..." Jiang Yu noticed that the man's attitude was abnormal and hurriedly tried to explain.

"Your name is Jiang Yu?" Lai Hengbao asked, holding a document.

Jiang Yu nodded.

“You are Nan Jue.” Lai Hengbao confidently introduced Nan Jue this time.

"Yes."

"That's more like it. Sigh, don't tell me you're some top-tier hunter team or some outstanding mage group in the country, what honors you've won or what demons you've slain. I basically handle all the Chinese mages from Donghai City. If you want to become a top team in Donghai City, you'd better behave yourself and do what I'm about to say. Otherwise, the Japanese Magic Association's review process is several times stricter, and in the end, they'll deem you too weak and send you back." Lai Hengbao said impatiently.

"A district squad?" Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

What are the mentors doing? Weren't they supposed to be training in Donghai City? Why did they send someone who doesn't even know their exact identity to greet them?

Lin Lan's information has been changed; his three-star hunter master status has been changed to intermediate hunter... which is what hunters call a rookie hunter.

"The East Sea Fortress City is divided into thirty-two districts. Each district has approximately 30 narrow lanes, 6 wide lanes, and one main street. Each district has a district lord, who receives a monthly protection fund from the Japanese government and the World Magic Association. This fund is entirely managed by the district lord. Whether he pockets it, trains his own mages, or hires hunters and mercenaries, as long as the district can eliminate the sea monsters in time during high tide, the remaining money belongs to the district lord," Lai Hengbao said.

Everyone felt like they had been sold here to work as laborers for others.

"Who owns that demon gall?" Lin Lan asked.

"The district lords will agree to sell the bodies to the Japanese government for expulsion, taking a portion of the money. The remaining money will be distributed based on the team's or individual's contribution. By the way, I advise those of you coming here for the first time not to hoard any. All the demon corpses lying in Donghai City belong to the public; hoarding them will be severely punished," Lai Hengbao specifically instructed.

“I feel like we’ve really been sold here. How much money did the mentor take this time? Why haven’t we received a single penny?” Zhao Manyan said.

"The demonic gall of those three Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts is..." Guan Yu looked at Lin Lan and said.

Lin Lan killed the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, and of course, he didn't say anything about squandering all the valuables.

But if Lin Lan is severely punished for harboring demonic energy, or if it implicates the team...

"I have the demon's gall right here."

The demon gallbladders of the three Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts were on Lin Lan. A commander-level demon gallbladder wasn't anything of great value to Lin Lan.

“You have demon courage, so it’s not unreasonable for a mid-level hunter to take out a servant-level demon courage. But you haven’t encountered high tide since you just arrived…” Lai Hengbao said.

Lin Lan didn't say anything but went to her room. When she came back, she had three crystal-clear demon galls, each the size of an ostrich egg.

"What?!" Lai Hengbao stopped looking at his legs, his eyes widened, and he was completely taken aback.

His experience is quite extensive, and these three are clearly the demon galls of a commander-level being.
