Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 183 The Powerful Nan Jue, the Laying-Down Zhou Haoyu
"Captain, what about you?"

Ai Jiangtu looked at Zhou Haoyu, not thinking that Zhou Haoyu's cultivation speed was slower than his.

Moreover, the Zhou family is developing extremely rapidly and has become a top-tier aristocratic family, so they can definitely produce a piece of the Star Sea Heavenly Vein.

"I have already reached the dual-elemental super-tier level."

Zhou Haoyu smiled slightly and said casually.

As for why we didn't mention the four super-tiers, it wasn't because we wanted to hide our strength, but mainly because we didn't want to discourage Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue.

"What??"

Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue were both stunned, looking at Zhou Haoyu with disbelief on their faces.

How long has it been? He's already broken through to the dual-elemental super-tier?
It's important to know that the Star Sea Celestial Vein only has a noticeable effect the first time; the second and third times are almost useless.

This means that if the other systems want to break through to the super-level, besides using rare and precious materials, they can only gradually break through the bottleneck.

Many high-level mages cultivate for over a decade and still only reach the high level in one or two of the three magic systems.

"It was just a series of coincidences."

Zhou Haoyu felt a little smug. It was a good thing he didn't mention the four-element super-tier, otherwise they would probably have questioned their existence.

Ai Jiangtu's lips curled into a bitter smile. He had thought that Zhou Haoyu would break through to the next level at most by a few months, but he hadn't expected the gap to be so large.

But on second thought, given Zhou Haoyu's talent, it doesn't seem so hard to accept.

Nan Jue stared blankly at Zhou Haoyu. No wonder this guy always seemed to have inexhaustible energy.

Perhaps by then they had already broken through to the Super Rank.

"Let's stop talking about this and get down to business."

Zhou Haoyu casually waved his hand, directly setting up a small spatial barrier around the three of them.

Ai Jiangtu's pupils contracted; this spatial control was simply awe-inspiring.

"Old Ai, you should have maxed out your curse skills too, right?" Zhou Haoyu asked.

Ai Jiangtu's talent goes without saying; he specializes in the space and curse systems, devoting the most energy to these two systems.

As for the third element, lightning, I've basically never seen him use it.

For offensive magic-based classes like Lightning, awakening in the first and second elemental trees is most suitable.

Because for the Lightning type to unleash powerful damage, it requires just as many resources as the Trick Room and Curse types.

A single top-tier natural soul seed costs over a billion. Even with the Ai family's substantial resources, it's impossible for them to afford a natural soul seed for Ai Jiangtu's secondary cultivation of the magic system.

Therefore, offensive magic types like lightning, fire, and ice are best left as the first element, becoming less useful the later they are awakened.

Of course, this is under the premise that Ai Jiangtu has already specialized in the two rare magic systems of space and curse.

If a high-level mage is entirely elemental, then there isn't really a big difference.

Ai Jiangtu made no attempt to hide anything and frankly stated, "I've already hit a bottleneck, but breaking through it won't be so easy."

"If you gain more experience, you will naturally have the resources to break through."

Zhou Haoyu smiled faintly. Ai Jiangtu was a promising talent that the military was focusing on cultivating. How could they let him stay stuck at his cultivation level for too long?

Moreover, with the Ai family involved, there's not much to worry about in terms of resources.

Nan Jue rolled her eyes when she heard the conversation between the two super-level mages.

When did breaking through to the Super Rank become such a trivial matter? She is still some distance from achieving full cultivation at the High Rank.

"Captain, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me what it is."

Ai Jiangtu was already barely able to contain his excitement. In his opinion, that wonderful thing was very likely the ability to control matter.

As a mage specializing in space magic, if he could learn Zhou Haoyu's powerful object manipulation ability, his strength would be no less than that of veteran super-level mages.

Zhou Haoyu's mental cultivation was already at a high level and fully mastered, and coupled with his powerful mental strength, he naturally sensed his thoughts. Unfortunately, the portion of mental energy he had previously shared had already been absorbed by him.

If Ai Jiangtu were to absorb it, it would grant him this powerful ability to control matter.

However, even if he kept it, Zhou Haoyu was reluctant to give it to Ai Jiangtu.

Without this source of spiritual power, he doesn't know when his spiritual power would be able to break through to the eighth realm.

"You major in curses, so you should be familiar with curse-based body-borrowing techniques, right?"

Although Zhou Haoyu did not explicitly state it, the meaning was self-evident.

Ai Jiangtu's pupils contracted. He naturally knew about the cursed body-borrowing technique and had even wanted to learn this powerful forbidden technique several times.

However, since the cursed body-binding technique is the foundation of the Zu clan, there is absolutely no possibility of it being passed on to outsiders.

"Captain, what you meant by 'someone with a powerful background' on the phone? Is that what you meant?"

Ai Jiangtu said belatedly.

Although he was a little confused about the reason, Zhou Haoyu's words clearly meant that he wanted to pass on the curse body-borrowing technique to him.

Zhou Haoyu shrugged noncommittally and said calmly, "If you want to become stronger, you always have to bear some consequences."

Ai Jiangtu gave a wry smile, his face full of conflict.

He naturally wanted to learn this cursed body-borrowing technique, but once he learned it, it would mean becoming irreconcilable with the Zu family, and might even implicate his family.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The source of this curse-borrowing technique is clean, and I have already practiced it."

Zhou Haoyu didn't get any trouble from the Zu family, and he didn't steal any of their skills anyway.

Ai Jiangtu did not doubt the truth or falsehood of these words, but this was no longer a question of whether the source was clean or not.

"That's not right, aren't you free of curses?"

Nan Jue asked with a surprised look.

"I've achieved a super-level awakening."

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiangtu completely lost his composure. The captain had only just awakened the curse type at the super-level, yet he dared to cultivate the curse body-borrowing technique. How could he possibly be a coward?

After Ai Jiangtu agreed, Zhou Haoyu handed him the method for cultivating the cursed body technique that he had prepared.

"You can cultivate on your own. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

"I know."

Ai Jiangtu nodded, feeling the weight of the few sheets of paper.

"I'll also give you this sacrificial magic tool. You just need to return a treasure of equal value to me later."

Zhou Haoyu then handed Lei Pengkai to Ai Jiangtu. It was impossible for him to give it away for free; once Ai Jiangtu's strength increased, he would naturally have the ability to repay the loan.

"baby?"

Ai Jiangtu immediately thought of his younger sister, who was the most precious treasure of the Ai family.

Next, Zhou Haoyu gave Ai Jiangtu some more instructions, and then left the teahouse with Nan Jue.

The moment he saw Nan Jue's incredibly long legs, he couldn't contain himself any longer.

"It's been so long since we last met, and you bring me here the moment we meet again."

As soon as they entered the hotel room, Nan Jue forcefully pressed down on Zhou Haoyu, saying in a somewhat androgynous voice, "All you ever do is think about these things."

"Didn't you think about it?" Zhou Haoyu retorted.

Nan Jue's eyes began to dart around, and a blush spread across her cheeks. She then forcefully mounted him.

“You used to be on top, this time it’s my turn.”
