Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 283 Yet another new department!!

“I’m heading to the Asian Magic Association right now!” Feng Zhoulong said.

"Don't worry, Lao Feng. I have another idea for a new department. Would you be interested in learning about it?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Feng Zhoulong's sense of urgency was instantly replaced by another kind of urgency.

"What? Why are you keeping it a secret? Tell me your idea!" Feng Zhoulong grabbed Jiang Yuan's arm and said hurriedly.

"This is my idea."

Jiang Yuan quickly organized his thoughts and explained the concept of the new department to Feng Zhoulong.

Its core is the blood of the ancestral family's cursed beast.

To put it in a more sophisticated way, it means using a mage's body as a vessel, the blood of a demon as a conduit, and the soul of a demon as a body, thus possessing the same power as the demon, without side effects or usage limits.

Simply put, it involves using the blood and soul of demons to create a soul entity that possesses almost all of the demon's power and can grow.

Each level grants an additional demon soul.

The ancestral family's secret technique obtains the power of demons through forced sealing. The first advantage is that the power can be used immediately after sealing, and the second advantage is that it can be sealed into magical artifacts, allowing the user to carry many magical artifacts at the same time.

The drawbacks are very obvious.

First, powerful demons are difficult to find and seal.

Secondly, one can only use a portion of the demon's power.

Third, the demons that are sealed will no longer become stronger; in fact, they will become weaker over time.

Fourth, not everyone can withstand the ancestral family's secret techniques; it also depends on individual talent.

Jiang Yuan's new system can significantly improve its shortcomings.

Overall, the concept for the new system is still rather rough and there is room for further improvement. We need to work with Feng Zhoulong to create yet another new system.

After a while, Jiang Yuan finished his explanation and asked, "This is my initial idea. What do you think, Lao Feng?"

"Great, great, excellent!"

Feng Zhoulong repeatedly agreed, looking at Jiang Yuan as if he were looking at a priceless, rare treasure.

To be honest, if he had a lover, he wouldn't look at his lover like that.

"I studied the Zu family's cursed blood and their secret techniques for a while before, and I felt that they had great potential. I originally wanted to continue my research, but the Zu family did not agree to my request to continue, so I had to give up in the end. I never thought that they would have the potential to create a new magic system. If I had known, I would have secretly studied it back then!" Feng Zhoulong said regretfully, beating his chest.

"No problem, it'll be the same once we figure it out. Old Feng, take a look at my design and see if there's any room for improvement. Just go ahead and make it all done," Jiang Yuan said.

“Okay!” Feng Zhoulong nodded: “Let me think about it carefully. This new system has some similarities with the Summoning system, and it also has similarities with the Demon system that we stopped researching before. There should be many areas that can be improved.”

After saying that, Feng Zhoulong immediately immersed himself in his research, completely forgetting about his trip to the Asian Magic Association.

Jiang Yuan, standing to the side, took out a large pile of demon blood, demon remnants, and demon essences, ranging from servant-level to commander-level, all of which were consumables for the experiment on the new system later.

If others knew that so much high-quality essence was being wasted like this, they would probably be heartbroken.

Even in research institutes specializing in precious materials, it would be impossible to lavishly use so much high-quality essence.

Feng Zhoulong, engrossed in his research, was inevitably disturbed by the power of his spiritual essence.

He subconsciously frowned and looked over, his eyes widening instantly like copper bells.

As a necromancer, Feng Zhoulong can clearly see and sense the spirits.

"What are you going to do with so many essences?!" A rough calculation shows these essences are worth tens of billions!

How could this not shock Feng Zhoulong?

"Old Feng, you need enough experimental materials to do research. These are all consumables I prepared for the new department. Use them as you like. I have plenty more here when you run out," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"No, no, these essences are too important to you. They can be exchanged for a huge amount of cultivation resources, enough to buy many soul seeds. If you're lucky enough to come across a celestial seed at auction, you can get it too. It's such a waste to use so many high-quality essences as consumables." Feng Zhoulong shook his head repeatedly.

Although he didn't know where Jiang Yuan got so many spirit essences, the focus was no longer on that. Instead, he advised Jiang Yuan to keep the spirit essences and use them to cultivate his magic system.

Jiang Yuan smiled upon hearing Feng Zhoulong's words.

The radiance of the moon, seen through the eyes of the soul, can illuminate the entire prime plane, bringing a large number of souls, namely remnants and essences, to the underworld every moment.

There's simply not enough of it.

Old Feng's worries were completely unnecessary.

But how should I explain this to Lao Feng?
"Old Feng, feel free to use it. I have even better ones here," Jiang Yuan said, spreading his palm.

Instantly, more than a dozen spirit essences flew out.

"What is this?!" Feng Zhoulong exclaimed in disbelief.

These dozen or so spirit essences in front of me are all monarch-level spirit essences!

At this moment, three more spirits flew out.

"An Emperor-level essence!!" Feng Zhoulong exclaimed.

"Got it, Lao Feng? I already have plenty of spirit essences below the monarch level, so I don't need any. You can use them without worry," Jiang Yuan said, putting away the spirit essences.

After a long silence, Feng Zhoulong asked, "Where did you get the Monarch-level and Emperor-level essences? You didn't obtain them by killing these demons, did you?"

Jiang Yuan didn't speak, but instead flicked out a point of light that landed between Feng Zhoulong's eyebrows.

Explaining with words is too slow; it's better to use visuals directly.

This point of light contains images of Jiang Yuan obtaining the armor from the ancient capital, and then the recent catastrophe in Shanghai.

Of course, the footage has been edited.

All that's needed is for Feng Zhoulong to know that he has become the King of the Underworld.

"."

It took Feng Zhoulong a long time to come to his senses after watching the footage sent by Jiang Yuan.

He acquires the armor, becomes the ancient king, kills Khufu, unifies the underworld, and becomes the King of the Underworld.

Rebuild the underworld, destroy the holy city, and stop the catastrophe in the demon capital.

Feng Zhoulong looked at Jiang Yuan with a complicated expression: "I never expected that you would become the King of the Underworld."

"Whether I become the King of the Underworld or not, it's all the same. I'm still the same person, just a bit stronger. Don't overthink it, Lao Feng," Jiang Yuan said.

"So, are you on the side of humanity?" Feng Zhoulong asked.

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'm still human. Hades is just one of my identities. The Holy City is gone. If I wanted to destroy the human world or enslave humans, I could do it whenever I wanted. Let's not talk about that. We're about to start researching a new magic system. I'm really looking forward to the birth of another magic system," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Feng Zhoulong looked at Jiang Yuan in silence for a few seconds, then laughed heartily: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I still believe in you. Let's continue researching the new department. With the materials you provided, the research process will be much faster."
