Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 132 Nomination Competition
After Chen Ying had vented her anger, Su Chi stepped forward and collected the ghost woman's corpse.

I plan to go to Wei Fang's place in a few days when I leave Dunhuang to collect the bounty.

At this moment, Zhao Yulin, who had caught his breath, looked at the Flame Witch beside him with a complicated expression.

"Jiang Feng."

He didn't know how to start the conversation. He had originally thought that by forming a team to come to the Scorching Plains to find the Fire Calamity Fruit, he could make up for some of the debt he owed to Jiang Feng.

Who would have thought that the Jiang Feng who returned to the Zhao family a few years ago was actually a fake? The real Jiang Feng had long since transformed into the Flame Witch before them.

However, the Flame Witch Jiang Feng didn't even glance at Zhao Yulin after hearing his words.

Long before Zhao Yulin abandoned her and ran away alone, she had been completely disappointed in this cowardly and heartless man.

Living alone in the Scorching Plains all these years, besides hoping for the birth of the last Flame Princess, her only concern is her daughter.

"Mother."

Chen Ying, seeing this scene, was also at a loss for words. She walked to Jiang Feng's side, opened her arms, and hugged Jiang Feng's arm.

In her heart, her mother Jiang Feng held a higher position than Zhao Yulin, after all, it had been like that since she was a child, and Jiang Feng had always brought her warmth.

Moreover, she now knows that her father was able to return to the Zhao family safely because her mother risked her life to save him, but this heartless father later abandoned his wife and children and fled alone.

Thinking about this made her feel incredibly sad, and she felt sorry for her mother.

Jiang Feng seemed to sense her daughter's emotions. She reached out and gently stroked Chen Ying's hair, shaking her head tenderly to indicate that she was alright.

well! !

Seeing that Jiang Feng was completely ignoring him, Zhao Yulin, who was already somewhat disheveled, became even more dejected.

He knew that he might never have the chance to repay Jiang Feng for what he owed her in this lifetime.

Most importantly, although Jiang Feng has transformed into the Flame Witch, her gentle caresses of Chen Ying and the way she looks at Chen Ying are exceptionally tender, almost exactly the same as they were years ago, which makes Zhao Yulin even more distressed.

After a short rest, Zhao Yulin left with the few remaining people.

Before leaving, he didn't ask Chenying if she wanted to come with him, and he was too ashamed to ask.

时间快速推移。

One wave after another of mages crossed the Fire Cloud Forest to arrive here, but they all wisely left as soon as they saw Jiang Feng sitting on the Star Language Tree.

no way.

Jiang Feng was getting a little irritated by this group of people.

One thing after another kept happening, leaving her no time to connect with her daughter, as she was constantly interrupted.

Furthermore, with the Fire Calamity Fruit still in Su Chi's ring and the Star Language Heavenly Tree's energy supply deprived, the time it will take for Little Flame Princess to be born will be even longer.

I don’t know how long it took.

Just when Jiang Feng thought no one would find this place again, a tall and slender military officer with shoulder-length blond hair stumbled out of the Fire Cloud Forest.

"Dunhuang Military Region?"

Seeing that the newcomer was dressed in the exclusive attire of a Guardian Mage, Su Chi was somewhat certain of the newcomer's identity.

This must be Nan Yu.

With an incredibly handsome face, a rare and exquisite aquiline nose, and narrow, single-eyelid eyes, Su Chi really couldn't tell her gender if it weren't for her full and prominent chest.

The main reason is that Nan Yu doesn't look like those disgusting effeminate men, nor like those tomboys that you can recognize at a glance, but rather has a very pleasing androgynous beauty.

With her straight legs and unique temperament, she exudes a captivating charm.

When Su Chi asked her a question, Nan Yu did not answer. Instead, she looked at Su Chi and the other two with a wary expression.

After all, she was injured and all her teammates had died while crossing the Fire Cloud Forest. It was normal for her to be wary of the two people who were with the Flame Witch, now that she was isolated and helpless.

Seeing the female officer's expression, Su Chi instantly guessed what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, we mean no harm."

Su Chi did not approach any further, but began to introduce himself and his group: "My name is Su Chi, I come from Mingzhu Academy, and I am currently the chief of the Water Department of the main campus of Mingzhu."

He then took out his student ID and threw it at Nan Yu.

"You are Su Chi!!"

After taking the document and glancing at it, Nan Yu suddenly remembered something.

"Huh? You know me?"

Su Chi was somewhat puzzled, after all, he didn't remember having any interaction with the female officer in front of him, and her current expression clearly indicated that she knew him.

"heard about it."

Nan Yu nodded but didn't say anything more. Instead, she returned the documents to Su Chi and then introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Nan Yu, and I'm from Weifang."

Just as I guessed.

Su Chi nodded slightly, then took out some more medicine and tossed it to Nan Yu.

"Thank you." Nan Yu took the medicine bottle and looked at Su Chi, expressing her sincere gratitude.

"Small things."

For some reason, Su Chi felt that after Nan Yu saw his ID, the wariness she had shown him seemed to have disappeared.

After leading Nan Yu to sit down on a boulder under the Starry Sky Tree, Su Chi spoke again: "That woman over there is named Chen Ying, from the Imperial Capital Academy."

Nan Yu looked at Chen Ying in the direction Su Chi was pointing, and then nodded silently.

As for the Flame Witch Jiang Feng, Su Chi didn't say much, and Nan Yu also selectively ignored it.

"You came here for the Fire Calamity Fruit, didn't you?"

Although Su Chi already knew Nan Yu's purpose in coming here, he still asked her about it.

Nan Yu nodded and said, "Following orders from our superiors, my team of eleven and I came here to search for the Fire Calamity Fruit. Everything was going smoothly until we were crossing this Fire Cloud Forest when we were relentlessly pursued by some kind of creature. They all sacrificed themselves to cover my retreat."

At this point, Nan Yu's eyes filled with sadness, as many of the team members were her friends of many years.

This time, however, they all perished before her eyes because of a mission, and even Nan Yu, who was used to casualties, couldn't help but feel sad.

"The unknown creature you mentioned should be the Three-Headed Evil Python, the overlord of the Fire Cloud Forest. That guy is already a leader-level creature, but he still likes to ambush."

He had previously heard Jiang Feng say that the only ruler-level creature in this Fire Cloud Forest was the Three-Headed Evil Python.

Jiang Feng kept it around because the creature was quite pragmatic; it would generally avoid Jiang Feng whenever it saw her. Plus, it could act as a protective barrier for the Star Language Tree, reducing Jiang Feng's workload. And clearly, Nan Yu and his group were very unfortunate enough to be captured by the Three-Headed Evil Python.

"Commander-level organism"

Nan Yu's eyes widened, her gaze filled with shock and a hint of relief.

No wonder her team suffered such heavy casualties; it turned out that the attacker was a serpentine demon of the commander level. At the same time, she was also grateful that she had managed to escape the demon's pursuit.

In the following days, since no mages came here again, Su Chi simply took out the Fire Calamity Fruit and hung it on the Star Language Tree.

Nan Yu had already left long ago.

After giving her a simple bandage, Jiang Feng personally led her through the Fire Cloud Forest.

Su Chi also took out the ghost woman's corpse and handed it to her, and also left her his card number, after which the bounty would be directly deposited into his card.

Nan Yu was initially shocked when Su Chi took out the ghost woman's corpse.

Because this disgrace to the military had been wanted by the Weifang for over ten years without any results, the Weifang internally believed that the ghost woman was long dead.

Unexpectedly, he was killed by Su Chi.

This made Nan Yu's feelings for Su Chi rise again, because it involved her most respected instructor.

A few more days passed.

The Fire Calamity Fruit, which had been gestating for many days, finally showed signs of life.

Beneath the Starry Sky Tree, Jiang Feng gently held the Fire Calamity Fruit in her hands. Around her, besides Su Chi and Chen Ying, were Mo Fan and his group, who had recently returned.

Because they left early to search for treasures on the Scorching Plains, while the other mages who crossed the Sand River came here immediately to find the Fire Calamity Fruit, each of them had a very rich harvest this time.

After so many days, the resources and treasures that appeared due to the fire calamity had been almost completely harvested, so they returned here to search for Su Chi.

Click! !
A crisp cracking sound drew everyone's attention.

The Fire Calamity Fruit's originally incredibly hard outer shell suddenly cracked open, and a small piece of the shell even bounced directly to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a tiny white jade arm emerged directly from the broken end.

After the miniature arms stretched out, they kept patting the shell. After a moment, an infant body made of pure fire element appeared before everyone's eyes.

After successfully hatching, the little creature ignored the onlookers and quickly picked up the fragments of the Fire Calamity Fruit and began to eat them.

"Is that Flame Princess?"

Looking at the tiny, incredibly cute porcelain doll in front of him, Mo Fan said in surprise.

Although he already knew that Flame Princess was born from the Fire Calamity Fruit, he did not expect that the young Flame Princess would be so cute.

"Yan Ji has extremely high bloodline. It is said that if Yan Ji is fed spirit seeds continuously, the level of the fire seed she condenses after she grows up will be higher." At this moment, Lingling suddenly interjected.

"What?! There's such a thing?? How come I didn't know?!" Mo Fan exclaimed upon hearing this, never expecting that raising this seemingly cute porcelain doll would be such a bottomless pit.

However, this has nothing to do with him anymore; Jiang Feng would never hand over Yan Ji to him.

However, now that Yan Ji has been successfully conceived, their journey can be considered a complete success.

Shanghai, at Su Chi's home.

It has been several days since they returned from Dunhuang.

Early that morning, Su Chi woke up in his room, gently moved the thigh that was draped over him away, and tiptoed to the private bathroom to wash up.

Once everything was done, Su Chi left home immediately.

Since Mu Nujiao definitely wouldn't be able to get up in the morning, he didn't prepare breakfast and went straight to the Three Steps Tower.

As the chief, he has the official opportunity to enter the training ground for seven days each month.

However, before the seven days were up, Su Chi left the Three Steps Tower because he felt that the Space System was still lacking something in order to successfully break through to the higher levels.

He hadn't been able to find a breakthrough opportunity through battle, but his trip to Zhuoyuan was still quite fruitful.

In addition to the huge bounty from the Dunhuang Guard for killing the Ghost Woman, Su Chi also obtained the Ghost Woman's spatial bracelet.

The savings weren't much, but there were quite a few valuable items among them.

That mind-based magical artifact alone is quite valuable.

Since Su Chi already had a spatial ring, he gave the Ghost Woman's spatial bracelet to Liu Xian, after all, she had been diligently managing his business in Feibiao City.

In addition, Jiang Feng also agreed to join Su Chi's forces in the future.

However, since Xiao Yanji is still a child, Zhuoyuan is more suitable for her growth. And since his main focus before the Academy Tournament was not on developing his power, he made an agreement with Jiang Feng to move after the Academy Tournament.

Winter has arrived, a time when cold air masses rage.

The heating in Su Chi's house had been turned on early in the morning. At this moment, Su Chi was on the sofa, holding Mu Nujiao, browsing the nomination competition information on the Xue Shang official website, when Ai Tutu suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Great Demon King, my brother said he'll be coming to see you in a few days."

"Ai Jiangtu?"

Su Chi looked up from the tablet and turned to Ai Tutu, asking, "What do you want?"

But he soon understood.

At this point in time, with the nomination competition about to begin, Ai Jiangtu should be here to discuss the university competition with me.

After all, there are only two players who have been pre-selected: him and Ai Jiangtu.

"I don't know either. My brother just mentioned it briefly when he called me yesterday," Ai Tutu pouted.

She wasn't upset about her older brother coming to see Su Chi, but rather because it was nearing the end of the semester, and if Ai Jiangtu came to stay for a day or two before going back, he would definitely take her home with him.

She didn't want to go home so early; she wanted to see her older sister Mu finish the nomination competition.

Speaking of which, Mu Nujiao's strength has also improved significantly during this period.

Long before Mu Nujiao accompanied Su Chi back from Dunhuang, the Mu family had made up their minds to support her in making a run at the World University Competition.

After all, following the Hangzhou crisis, the news that Su Chi had become a slated player for the National Team was no secret to a powerful family like the Mu family.

So, during Su Chi's trip to Zhuoyuan, the Mu family finally finalized the matter through several internal meetings.

Now, both of Mu Nujiao's magic-type abilities are equipped with top-grade spirit seeds, and her magical artifacts are also extremely luxurious.

"I think I know what it is," Su Chi replied, then suddenly remembered something, but after glancing at Ai Tutu, he didn't say anything.
