Versatile Mage: Started as Gengar and was selected for the National Government Tournament

Chapter 37 Even eating and taking
time flies.

Another half year passed and the main campus assessment was approaching.

At the school assembly.

Dean Xiao, who was usually gentle and kind, changed his style and became extremely tough in his attitude and tone.

"I remember not long ago, someone compared the main campus assessment to a demon looming over our entire Qing campus..."

"That's a good analogy. I like it because it's not an exaggeration at all..."

"You only have three years left at the Qing campus. During these three years, you will still enjoy the resources and various preferential treatments provided by the school."

"However, if you still can't break through to the intermediate level of magician after three years, then after leaving Mingzhu Academy, please don't consider yourselves as Mingzhu Academy students anymore!"

The cold words fell.

The expressions of all the students in the school were different. They were terrified and felt like they were walking on thin ice.

These remarks ultimately made many people uncomfortable.

No breakthrough in three years.

Will even my student status at Mingzhu Academy be revoked?
Isn’t this a bit too unreasonable?
"I'm pleased to see everyone's growth, but the Green Campus is only the starting point of your training. The next stop, the Main Campus, is where you'll truly embark on your magical journey... Remember, no one will sympathize with the weak!"

"Now, those who have not reached the intermediate magician level may leave. The battlefield for the main campus assessment does not belong to you."

Dean Xiao swept his eyes across the silent crowd in the audience, as if he had become a different person, without any mercy.

No more painting a rosy future.

Drive away the weak without mercy.

This was difficult for all the students in the school to accept.

The old students showed a look of resentment and humiliation on their faces and strode away.

The freshmen looked around, somewhat bewildered, and eventually, all left one after another.

"No matter which world we live in, survival of the fittest is the eternal law of nature."

Chu Ming looked at the backs of those leaving and shook his head secretly.

……

Dean Xiao looked at the remaining students in the audience, coughed twice, and his tone changed.

It was as if he had turned back into the gentle old dean and told the story in a leisurely manner.

"A few days ago, we received news that the military's tamed shadow monsters escaped due to management issues..."

"So, now we need you to capture the shadow monster alive and return it to the military."

"This is everyone's ranking for the assessment before entering the main campus!"

Upon hearing this, more than a thousand people present began to talk about it.

No one could have imagined that this assessment would actually be a military mission.

"Special reminder: Shadow Beasts won't actively harm anyone, but when attacked or persecuted, their temperament will change drastically..."

"If you complete this mission individually, you will receive all the rewards. If you complete it as a team, it's limited to 5 people, and you will receive the same reward. The reward is a chance to enter the Three-Step Pagoda for training!"

I heard that Dean Xiao offered 5 places for the Three-Step Tower.

In an instant, more than a thousand students shouted excitedly.

"Holy crap, it's actually a three-step tower!!"

"This mission reward is pretty cool, right? I can enter the Three-Step Tower?!"

"The dean is awesome, I will definitely strive for first place!"

Everyone's faces turned red and they were very excited.

You know, even the seniors in the main campus are fighting tooth and nail for a spot in the Three-Step Pagoda!

This time, the dean actually gave them the opportunity to enter the Three-Step Pagoda from the Qing Campus?!

Who wouldn't be excited and thrilled?

Except Chu Ming.

"Is the reward for entering the Three-Step Pagoda?" Chu Ming touched his chin and thought to himself, "This thing is most effective only the first time. The second time I enter the training, the amplification rate will probably drop even more..."

the other side.

I heard that we can form a team after the assessment.

Ai Tutu's eyes flashed, and he quickly found Chu Ming standing at the edge of the crowd.

"Sister Mu, I saw him. Shall we go find him and form a team?"

"Don't you want to know his secret? If we become his teammate and work together, we'll find out!"

Mu Nujiao nodded, and walked in front of Chu Ming with Ai Tutu.

"Chu Ming, do you want to team up together?"

"Ok?"

I saw Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.

Chu Ming's eyes lit up.

I think the Three-Step Pagoda is useless, but others are flocking to it.

He can sell the quota and exchange it for other resources!
"Team up, sure!" Chu Ming smiled, "Classmates, if you do me a favor, I will agree to team up." "What? Our beautiful girl group invites you to join so sincerely, who would make demands when forming a team?" Ai Tutu pouted.

Chu Ming said confidently: "Because I have a shadow-type summoned beast, it is not difficult for me to find a shadow-type demon."

Mu Nujiao thought of the strange shadow summoned beast and took a deep breath.

"Tell me your request first."

Chu Ming smiled and continued, "It's very simple. I'll exchange my Three-Step Pagoda quota for a Spirit Seed Resource!"

"What did you say!"

"Selling a spot in the Three-Step Pagoda?"

Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu both widened their eyes.

This is a spot in the Three-Step Tower.

Even for the children of aristocratic families, it is a very precious resource for cultivation.

This guy doesn't want it?

unless……

She looked into Chu Ming's eyes, as if she had thought of something.

"I've been there once. If I go again, the effect of my training will be greatly reduced." Chu Ming smiled and said, "How about we team up again?"

Mu Nujiao pondered for half a minute.

Out of curiosity about Chu Ming and recognition of his strength.

Finally, his request was agreed.

The opportunity to practice in the Three-Step Pagoda is indeed precious.

But the only people who can sell it are students of Mingzhu School.

Most of the students are mid-level mages.

After entering the Three-Step Pagoda, some students with outstanding qualifications can stabilize their footing on the second level and practice with a 40-fold increase.

This is equivalent to using a high-quality Stardust Magic Weapon for seven consecutive days.

The value is estimated to be tens of millions.

But one spirit seed costs upwards of 20 million.

However, after forming a team with Chu Ming, they were able to turn enemies into friends.

If you can complete the task.

Both he and Ai Tutu could enter the Three-Step Tower to practice.

But if Chu Ming completed the task as an individual, the team’s 5 places in the three-step tower would be gone.

"What specific attribute do you want? Fire attribute?"

"It doesn't matter. Shadow, poison, fire, water... elemental, black magic are all fine. As long as you have it," Chu Ming replied.

"no problem."

Mu Nujiao looked much better.

Generally speaking, spiritual seeds are in short supply.

Not to mention certain specific rare magic systems.

But if the legal system is not restricted.

With the connections and channels of the Mu family, one of the four major families in Magic City, it is not difficult to buy an elemental spirit seed.

"Just now, Dean Xiao said that the Shadow Monster was domesticated by the military. If that's the case, then no one is more familiar with the Shadow Monster's habits than the military."

"Student Ai, please give Ai Jiangtu a call and ask him if he can provide any clues."

After the team was confirmed, Chu Ming immediately got into the game.

"Oh well."

Ai Tutu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Student Mu, in team mode, there are a total of 5 spots after completing the mission. You two will each take one. Please help me exchange my spot for a spirit seed."

"There are still two spots left, which can be sold to some children from wealthy families."

"You're a local, and you're from a noble family. Go get in touch with them, and you might even get some blood."

"I don't ask for much. Just remember to give me 500 million after the deal is done."

Chu Ming thought about it and decided to maximize the benefits.

Mu Nujiao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This guy.

This is eating and taking!
Ai Tutu was even more curious.

The mission hasn't even started yet, but you've already started booking rewards?

This isn't a mage match, so why is he so confident he can take first place?!
