Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 242 The Next Totem

"12, not bad."

Lin Ming nodded, satisfied with the new type of magic damage.

The magic created by the combination of light and mind magic is slightly more powerful than that created by light magic alone.

This dummy cannot measure the power of mind magic, but since the main manifestation of mind magic is not destructive power, whether it can be measured or not is not of great importance.

Moreover, this magic also has the ability to influence thought through the mind; if mastered, it will definitely be a powerful killing move!
With that thought in mind, Lin Ming walked out of the training ground.

But at that moment, a handsome man in a custom-made suit ran quickly toward Lin Ming.

"Master, Master, please wait a moment!"

Lin Ming looked up and, sensing no malice, stopped.

The man in the suit walked up to Lin Ming, took a slight breath, and then handed Lin Ming a gold business card.

"Hello, I am the owner of Liming Company. With this card, all your consumption at any of Liming Group's businesses will be paid for by Liming Group."

Dawn Group?

Lin Ming glanced at the black card in his hand, then at the training ground behind him.

This training ground seems to have the Dawn Group's logo on it.

"Which aristocratic family?"

Lin Ming looked at the man in the suit. With the Eye of Truth combined with the power of the Mind System, the man in the suit had no way to hide his cultivation level.

A mid-level mage? It seems they lacked magical talent and turned to business.

Most of the world's large companies and enterprises are backed by powerful families, and these companies are essentially tools for these families to amass wealth.

"A prominent family?" The man in the suit was taken aback, then immediately shook his head: "No, no, I started this business with a few friends, I don't come from a prominent family."

Is there no powerful family behind him?

Lin Ming was somewhat surprised this time. Although Liming Group was not a powerful global conglomerate, it was still a well-known company in Guangzhou.

Surprisingly, it wasn't a family-owned business.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ming understood why the man in the suit had come to him.

"May I ask what your name is, Master?" the man in the suit asked.

"Lin Ming." Lin Ming spoke softly, the black card held between his fingers, and then shot out like a flying knife!

"I have no intention of joining any faction, please leave."

The card grazed the man in the suit's cheek, like a sharp blade piercing the wall behind him!
After saying that, Lin Ming turned and left.

Unexpectedly, the man in the suit didn't care at all and immediately followed.

He pulled out another black card and handed it to Lin Ming.

"No, no, Mr. Lin Ming, you misunderstand. We don't want you to join the Dawn Group. We just want to make friends."

The man in the suit gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled apologetically.

He did come to invite Lin Ming to join, since the Dawn Group is indeed lacking top-tier mages. But since Lin Ming has already said that, how could he possibly continue to invite him?

Isn't this going to offend people?
So we can only settle for the next best thing.

Looking at the somewhat humble man in front of him, Lin Ming couldn't help but smile and reached out to take the card.

"Let's be friends? Then I'll take it?"

Lin Ming felt that the person in front of him was somewhat interesting.

"Please." The man in the suit nodded.

"Then I'll be going." Lin Ming didn't stand on ceremony with him, after all, it was a free gift.

"Take care, Mr. Lin Ming." The man in the suit nodded goodbye and did not chase after him.

Lin Ming glanced down at the black card in his hand, which bore the logo of Dawn Company, and couldn't help but smile.

This Dawn Company is quite interesting.

But his smile stemmed from something else. He discovered that after gaining power, the world treated him exceptionally kindly.

It was just a simple test of magic, yet people rushed up to offer money and gifts.

Lin Ming shook his head, put away the black card, and boarded a flight to Shanghai.

He knew that all of this stemmed from strength, so nothing was more important than improving his strength now!

This is the information for the last totem.

During the preparation period, Lingling found a total of three totems.

Now only this last one remains. Once we find him, the search for the totem will be over.

Inside the Qingtian Demon Hunting Center, Lingling's fingers were rapidly tapping on her laptop.

The doorbell rang, but Lingling didn't even look up.

"The Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency is not accepting commissions at the moment."

But no one answered. Lingling looked up in confusion and suddenly realized that Lin Ming was already standing behind her!

"You...you've successfully broken through?"

Lingling's eyes widened!

Didn't Old Man Bao tell you?

A smile involuntarily crept onto Lin Ming's lips.

"Grandpa?" Lingling frowned and shook her head. "Grandpa hasn't come back since he went out!"

"Didn't come back?" Lin Ming was taken aback. "Then where did they go?"

While he was breaking through to the Super Rank, Old Man Bao was still happily drinking tea!
"I don't know, I just got back too." Lingling shook her head.

"You just got back too?" Lin Ming glanced at Lingling, somewhat puzzled.

Lingling nodded, her twin ponytails swaying back and forth.

"While you were preparing for your breakthrough, Mo Fan was sent back by the Nationalist team. I took on a commission with him and encountered the Black Vatican."

"Mo Fan was sent back? The National Championship is off?" Lin Ming's expression was somewhat strange.

He vaguely remembered that such an incident, but he couldn't recall the details clearly; it probably wasn't anything serious.

"We just dealt with the Black Vatican a couple of days ago. He should be at the National Palace now," Lingling nodded, somewhat indifferently.

"The location of the last totem has also been analyzed." Lingling turned the computer screen in front of Lin Ming.

“A bird-shaped totem.” Lin Ming looked at the incomplete totem and compared it with the three-legged golden crow totem.

"It seems to be a totem of the Three-Legged Golden Crow lineage as well," Lin Ming nodded.

Lingling turned the computer back and immediately displayed a few lines of text.

“A bird with four wings, its body is entirely black; it is a swallow.”

"The Heavenly Mandate of the Black Bird descended and gave birth to the Shang Dynasty."

Lingling softly read a few lines of text from the screen, then looked at Lin Mingdao.

"This totem is quite remarkable. Although there isn't much information about it in ancient texts, there's a high probability that it's the totem symbolizing the Shang Dynasty! The Black Bird!"

"Moreover, the Black Bird is quite peculiar, with rumors that it can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant. It may be a powerful totem beast with spatial abilities!"

"It's even possible that its status among totem beasts is no less than that of the three-legged golden crow you guard!"

Lingling's gaze was quite serious!

Lin Ming nodded, but the excitement in his eyes was hard to hide.

"Where might this totem exist?"

"According to the last record in the ancient books, the Black Bird perished when the Shang Dynasty fell. Based on changes in the world map, the location of its fall should be in South America, and more precisely, in a specific country."

"Peru!"
