Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 303 Twelve Talismans, Eight Great Demons

There's really no need to demonstrate strength.

Even with his father's magical abilities, it was ineffective against Jiang Yuan; even the chains that had just sealed his power were useless.

However, to be fair, although the magic in this plane is at the stage of primitive spells that manipulate magical power, it still has potential.

Jiang Yuan is building a new magic system to replace the Star System, which is a good opportunity to learn from.

"I have no ill intentions."

Inside the room, Jiang Yuan spread his hands in goodwill.

As for the old man and the others, they were already covered in sweat, panting heavily, and their throats were so dry they were practically on fire.

They tried everything, but nothing worked.

Everyone was silent.

After a while, Jackie Chan broke the silence and asked, "Sir, since you say you have no ill intentions, can you tell me where you are from?"

"Of course, I come from a place very similar to your world. There are also skyscrapers and bustling traffic there. Oh, and there is magic too, but it is very different from your magic."

"magic?!"

Upon hearing the key phrase, Dad suddenly shook off his fatigue and perked up, pressing for an answer: "You mean you come from another world, a world where magic also exists?!"

He had no choice but to be excited.

This was incredibly appealing to someone who had spent decades in the realm of magic.

Furthermore, in this world, magic is not as prevalent as in the world of Full-Time Magician; instead, technology dominates, and magic is rarely passed down.

"I can demonstrate some magic for you."

As Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the scene in the room transformed into a vast, empty wilderness.

Before Jackie Chan and the others could exclaim in surprise, Jiang Yuan began to cast his magic.

Elemental magic such as water, fire, wind, ice, and lightning descended like a natural disaster, causing the world to collapse and crumble, resembling an apocalyptic scene.

Then came the incredibly bizarre black magic.

Then came white magic and dimensional magic.

Finally, things calmed down, and everyone returned to the antique shop.

"Does magic in your world not require incantations?"

"Why don't I feel you manipulating nature? Does your magic come from within you?"

"."

He posed several key questions in succession, proving that his father, as the disciple of the Archmage, had a strong understanding of magic.

"Shall we discuss this?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"With pleasure!" the old man shouted. "Jackie, bring out the tea! Bring out my best tea to entertain our guests who have come from afar!"

The time that followed was naturally spent exchanging magical knowledge; only someone at Jiang Yuan's level could engage in cross-world communication.

Most people in the entire job only know how to use magic, but do not understand the origin and working principle of magic.

The conversation was pleasant, but it was soon interrupted by a phone call.

"Dad, Valon has started his operation, and I need your help! Oh, and don't let Jade know about this!"

Jackie Chan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

During Jiang Yuan's conversation with his father, Jackie Chan learned about Operation Vallon.

"Oh dear! I have to travel so far again!" The old man complained, but his hands kept moving.

"What happened?" Jiang Yuan asked from the side.

He was eager to know how far the story had progressed.

"That's a bit hard to say. There's a demon from hell who wants to release other demons. We can't let them out, or it will have terrible consequences."

After his father said that, Jiang Yuan knew what stage of the story they were in.

The eight demons were sealed away, and the fire demon Shendu returned from Hell and possessed Valmont, the leader of the Black Hand gang, with the aim of opening the gates of Hell through the Panku Box and freeing the other seven demons.

They are, respectively, the Moon Demon, Zhou Lan, who can manipulate gravity, and the Mountain Demon, Bo Gang, who is as large as a mountain and has a voracious appetite.

Howling Wind, the wind demon that breathes out raging winds and controls the wind.

The lightning demon that manipulates lightning, Sino-Soviet.

Basha, a water demon who rules rivers, lakes, and seas and can unleash tsunamis.

The Earth Demon, Di Kui, controls the earth and causes earthquakes.

Ximu, a celestial demon capable of altering celestial phenomena.

The Fire Demon Lord is incredibly powerful. In addition to being able to control fire, he also possesses the power of the twelve talismans. Furthermore, he is a very powerful demon mage who once compiled a complete encyclopedia of spells.

The twelve talismans correspond to the twelve zodiac animals.

The Rat Talisman transforms stillness into movement; the Ox Talisman grants boundless strength. The Tiger Talisman harmonizes Yin and Yang; the Rabbit Talisman enables lightning-fast teleportation.

Dragon Talisman: Explosive Bombardment; Snake Talisman: Appearance and Disappearance. Horse Talisman: Healing and Restoration; Sheep Talisman: Astral Projection.

The monkey talisman grants transformation; the rooster talisman allows levitation. The dog talisman grants immortality; the pig talisman has piercing, electric eyes.

"True, let's go!"

In a very short time, Dad had packed his things and was ready to leave.

Jiang Yuan also got into the car, and at the back of the seat, Xiao Yu's head suddenly popped out.

"Hi handsome!" Xiaoyu greeted Jiang Yuan with a smile.

"Oh dear! How did Xiaoyu end up in the car? Didn't Tru settle Xiaoyu in properly?"

"Sir, it was Xiaoyu who sneaked up here," Tru said, indicating he wouldn't take the blame.

There was no other way; Xiaoyu had already gotten on the bus, so we might as well go together.

The car was parked near the Milkyway Image Studio, according to the address provided by Jackie Chan.

The message only stated that Valon and his group were active in this area, without specifying their exact location.

Jiang Yuan was aware that the Gates of Hell of the Thunder Demon was located inside the film studio.

"Jackie Chan, we've arrived."

"Let's find a place to stay first, Dad."

"Oh, Jackie Chan! Are you really going to make your old man sleep on a hard hotel bed? That'll keep this old man awake!"

"There's no other way, Dad. We don't know what Valon and the others are up to, so we'll just have to stay here for now."

"Jackie Chan!"

"."

Jackie Chan and his father talked for a long time before they finally calmed his father down.

"I want to resolve things with Jackie Chan as soon as possible so we can get back to the antique shop and continue exchanging magic. I'll have to stay here for now," the old man said, sounding slightly disappointed.

“Sir, didn’t Mr. Chen come along too? You can talk in the hotel,” Tru said.

"Snapped!"

"Ow!"

Tru's forehead was slapped by his father with a crisp sound.

"Do you think your father doesn't want to? We still have to deal with the Demon Lord, and we don't even know which demon's Gate of Hell it's targeting. Your father needs to be fully prepared. Only when we get back to the antique shop can we have a safe conversation!" the father said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

“I can see a portal here using dimensional magic; that should be the Gate to Hell you mentioned, Dad.”

Dad's eyes widened: "Dimensional magic can see the gates of hell? Where are they?"

"There."

Jiang Yuan pointed to the Galaxy Film Studio.
