Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 137, Asuka City
This is a level four Thunderbolt! Looking at the entire National Team, only Chen Hao and Mo Fan can enhance magic to this level!

Each level increase in magic represents a qualitative leap. The difference between level three and level four is far more than just a number; it's almost comparable to a Soul Seed crushing a Spirit Seed! Moreover—lightning is inherently the most destructive of all elements!
The clash between a mid-level level 4 Thunder and a mid-level level 3 Poison Cave is not a duel at all, but a one-sided crushing defeat!
Not to mention, Mo Fan, who unleashed the lightning, was himself a mage who possessed high-level power!

Guan Yu, who had originally wanted to take the opportunity to stand out, froze instantly.

He's just a sarcastic person, he's not brain-damaged.

If he steps forward now, wouldn't that just mean sitting at the same table as Zu Jiming?
He instinctively took a step back, pretending nothing had happened.

"Captain, are you just going to watch him commit murder?" Jiang Shaoxu said with a hint of sarcasm.

Chen Hao ignored her, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, his voice steady yet thunderous:
"Anyone still disagreeing? Step forward, let's settle our team positions today. Always being a substitute, don't you even know what level others are at? Anyone who didn't know better would think you're some high-level dual-element cultivators!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire beach fell silent, with only the sound of the waves crashing echoing in the air.

Everyone stared at Mo Fan in disbelief.

This substitute is actually a high-level dual-elemental user!?

Guan Yu's eyes widened, filled with unbearable regret—he had thought Guan Yu was just a substitute he could easily step on, but it turned out to be a mountain!

Fortunately, I didn't actually do it, otherwise I would probably have ended up like Zujiming, roasted like a suckling pig on the beach.

"Did you hear that? Stop talking about 'alternatives' all the time. Things change, so don't underestimate a young man's potential!"

Zhao Manyan immediately jumped out, looking smug, his voice booming—

With someone backing you up, you can speak so loudly!
"What's it to you?"

Guan Yu rolled her eyes, making no attempt to hide her disdain. "You talk as if you're some kind of high-level expert."

He couldn't afford to offend Chen Hao and Mo Fan, but Zhao Manyan? He really didn't take him seriously.

He's just a spoiled brat, not worth mentioning.

"You're not convinced? Fight my brothers if you're not convinced!" Zhao Manyan attacked directly, his arrogance reaching its peak. "Let me tell you, Mo Fan and Chen Hao are both my brothers. Pick one and see?"

Guan Yu's face suddenly stiffened.

Having just been intimidated by Mo Fan, he was now being relentlessly attacked by Zhao Manyan, leaving him completely stunned by the relentless blows.

He slowly turned his head toward Chen Hao.

Chen Hao's lips curled slightly, and he stared at him with a half-smile, his eyes seeming to say:

"Would you like to try moving one?"

Guan Yu felt a chill in his heart and his vision went black. He suddenly realized that his future life in the Nationalist government might be as difficult as hell.

After waiting for a long time, no one stepped forward; Zu Jiming had been lying there for quite some time. Chen Hao finally spoke, his tone calm, yet carrying an inexplicable sense of pressure:
"Since none of you dare to fight, I hope you can all keep your mouths shut in the future."

"I'm the kind of person who never tolerates the weak."

"I hope you can recognize yourselves and stop thinking of yourselves as some kind of chosen ones."

"Those who can get into the Nationalist team are either rich second-generation heirs or sons of corrupt officials. Do you really think it's based on merit? If you had a different background, you would be nothing."

So, stop thinking you're something special.

"Go heal that idiot."

Chen Hao's voice was extremely cold. Even though everyone felt a bit annoyed after hearing it, no one dared to cause trouble since Vice Captain Ai Jiangtu didn't react at all.

Nan Rongni obediently ran over to heal Zu Jiming. The guy wasn't actually seriously injured, but Mo Fan's move had shattered his fragile ego, causing him to lose face and make him too embarrassed to face the crowd.

"Wow, Captain, that's going too far. My family is very ordinary," Jiang Yu retorted.

"Ordinary? Isn't the chief court official Pang Lai your master? How is he ordinary?" Chen Hao didn't mince words and directly exposed his background in public.

Everyone looked over in surprise, silently labeling Jiang Yu as someone not to be trifled with.

"Hiss, you even know that? Isn't it my skill that I managed to find such a powerful master?" Jiang Yu retorted again.

For a moment, Chen Hao was speechless.

"Alright, alright, you're the chosen one, okay?"

……

With the establishment of authority over the team concluded, the National Government team officially embarked on their journey.

The atmosphere within the team was somewhat strange. Chen Hao, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan chatted and laughed, while Nan Jue meticulously made his way, becoming invisible and not wanting to talk to the three of them at all. The others seemed a little depressed.

Soon after, they found the largest port in the area and learned that it was located in Asuka City.

The group then went directly to Lin Junxian, a local tycoon. After Chen Hao's constant hints, Lin Junxian guessed their identities and expressed his willingness to provide some help, on the condition that they solve the problem of the nearby sea monsters.

"No problem, leave it to us." With the ship issue resolved, Mo Fan was full of energy and couldn't wait to punch those sea monsters to death.

In fact, Chen Hao had a better way to get to Japan, which was simply to smuggle himself in; there was no need for such trouble.

He only chose to follow the plot in order to befriend the wealthy Lin Junxian, and also to farm the Siren's Essence.

He got to know Lin Junxian so that he could help his base in Feibiao City later. If possible, he also wanted to establish a large force, comparable to a powerful family.

For small families, Shanghai offers too little room for survival and makes expansion difficult, while Asuka City seems like a much better option.

He can simply copy how Fan Xueshan started his business in the original novel. As for Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan, he can just recruit them later. Such useful oxen and horses shouldn't be given away to others.

……

The following day, after everyone had prepared all the supplies, they boarded the ship arranged by Lin Junxian and set sail for the place where the sea monsters were said to be.

The sea and the inland are quite different. Inland security zones can at least be set up with sentry posts, relay stations, and fortresses to block important locations and prevent demons from having the opportunity to infiltrate. In the ocean, the so-called security zones are just a few sea towers with a few military mages watching over them, which do not constitute a real defense line.

Giant seawalls can effectively prevent sea monsters, but they are too expensive. Basically, only naval cities have such fortifications. With such a long coastline, it is impossible to cover the entire coastline.

Fortunately, the coastal areas of cities are generally peaceful, and sea monsters are a rare occurrence; Feibiao City is an exception. "Five nautical miles away, their last monster-hunting expedition was on this rocky island. They were ambushed by sea monsters while resting there at night, suffering heavy losses," Ai Jiangtu said, pointing to an island on the map.

"Speaking of which, what kind of sea monsters are lurking here? Some of them are quite ferocious; it would be too dangerous to go there rashly," Jiang Yu said worriedly.

"Judging from their description, they should be the Crimson Demon, which is within our capabilities," Nan Jue said.

Soon, the group set foot on the rocky island. It was an island group, and the distance between the rocky islands was not far. You could even ride a wind-powered vehicle to the other side.

"Let's just use the Demon Gathering Device, don't waste time," Chen Hao said decisively, looking at Nan Jue.

"How did you know I brought the Demon Gathering Device?" Nan Jue blushed. This was the first thing she had said to Chen Hao since they gathered. She had been trying her best to avoid communicating with Chen Hao because she felt so embarrassed whenever she thought of her awkward appearance in Zhuoyuan.

"I even know what color underwear you wear, stop dawdling." Chen Hao teased. He still vividly remembered the underwear Nan Jue showed off to him back then. Who would have thought that such a fiery woman would love to wear black thongs? It was such a contrast.

Nan Jue's face turned bright red at his reminder, and she turned to flip through the Demon Gathering Instrument.

Zhao Manyan immediately leaned over, rubbing his hands together with a gossipy look on his face, and whispered, "Chen Hao, tell me honestly, did you manage to get this girl?"

Seeing this, Mo Fan also came over with a sly grin. The three of them had teased Nan Jue together before, and they could tell what they were talking about just by looking at their expressions.

"No, this girl is really fierce. It's not easy to win her over without using dirty tricks." Chen Hao shook his head.

The rocky islands are rugged, with towering cliffs and numerous caves, making them ideal for nighttime raids. The islands are arranged in a ring around a bay that resembles a gaping maw, ready to swallow any living creature that approaches.

"The Demon Gathering Device is activated." Nan Jue lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen Hao again, and inserted the device into the reef. After activating the magic energy stone, the device emitted a low-frequency vibration.

A pale blue energy ripple spread out from the Demon Gathering Device, almost imperceptible in the sea breeze.

"Isn't this too risky? The density of sea monsters is far greater than on land, and many people in the team are mid-level. If a horde of monsters attacks, we might not be able to withstand it." Ai Jiangtu frowned.

"What's there to be afraid of? I've got your back. It's a good opportunity to test these guys' strength, so they won't be so arrogant all the time." Chen Hao's voice was undisguised, deliberately meant for everyone to hear.

For a moment, Zu Jiming and the others clenched their fists, but there was nothing they could do.

“Captain, I… I specialize in healing and am not good at combat,” Nan Rong Ni Nuonuo said softly.

"You can't fight, huh? Then stand next to me, I'll protect you." Chen Hao's lips curled up, and he looked a bit wicked.

Nan Rongni's face lit up with joy. She had finally found an opportunity to get closer to Chen Hao. She quickly burrowed next to him, her arms touching his, her small head barely reaching Chen Hao's chest.

As a master scheming woman, she naturally knows which people to associate with for a promising future.

“Wow——!!!”

The sea exploded, and a fish-shaped monster, entirely red and covered in spikes, leaped out of the bay.

This creature possesses a pair of enormous, powerful legs, and its waist is covered with strange, sharp-looking ringed fins. Its forelimbs are slender and long, with three claws that are as sharp and terrifying as three barbed daggers!
“A Crimson Demon!! And a fully grown demon! Not a juvenile!” Jiang Yu’s pupils shrank.

Before they could react, several more Crimson Demons crawled out from behind the rocks on the other side, their sharp claws scraping against the rocks with a screeching sound.

"Perfect timing!" Mo Fan immediately stepped forward, "Fierce Fist - Earthly Fiend!"

Flames surged from Mo Fan's body, and a star map constructed of fire elements lit up beneath his feet, with star trails illuminating one after another, and magic instantly took shape!
A fist imprint of fire, like exploding magma, suddenly rose up and enveloped the few Crimson Demons at the front. Before the fist imprint even made contact, the crimson demons, like venomous snakes that had smelled their natural enemy, showed fear in their eyes and it was too late to retreat!
"boom!!!--"

The flames exploded, and the shockwave blasted the Crimson Demon away. Its entire body was engulfed in flames, and after tumbling several times in the air, it crashed into the rock wall. Limbs and scales scattered everywhere, and its fate was unknown!

"Beautiful!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed from behind, then his expression changed. "Wait, there's more than one over there—"

"Hiss!!!!"

Several piercing screams came from the other side, and seven or eight more Crimson Demons climbed onto the reef. Each one was completely red and had bloodthirsty eyes, clearly having been completely attracted by the Demon Gathering Instrument!

"Everyone be careful!" Ai Jiangtu's expression turned serious. "It seems that a nest of Crimson Demons has been attracted here."

A nest consists of 50 birds, and 50 nests constitute a population.

However, there are usually more than 50 monsters in a monster's lair.

Sure enough, as soon as the words were spoken, Crimson Demons emerged from behind the rocks on all sides, clearly having climbed up from various locations on the rocky island.

"Don't just stand there!" Nan Jue roared, raising his hands and unfurling the sound-based star map. Several sharp lines of sound blades shot out, heading straight for the Crimson Demons approaching from behind.

"hiss--!!"

A sonic blade struck the eye socket of one of the Crimson Demons, the sharp blade slicing through its scales. It roared and pounced on Nan Jue from the sea cliff!

"Damn, you actually dared to charge!" Zhao Manyan leaped in front of Nan Jue and unleashed the Light Star Chart: Light Protection! A golden light barrier instantly rose, knocking Chi Lingyao back a few steps.

"Stay close to me." Chen Hao put his arm around Nan Rongni's waist, raised his right hand, and his spiritual power surged! The light system star map instantly took shape.

"Light Blade Judgment!"

A huge golden arc of light swung out from his hand, sweeping across and striking the abdomen of a Crimson Demon, instantly cleaving it in two, causing it to bleed profusely and collapse to the ground convulsing!

Feeling the strength of Chen Hao's palm, even a scheming woman like Nan Rongni blushed slightly.

How can this person be so shameless? Their hands are so restless...

At the same time, the National Government team and others also made their moves. A mere few dozen warriors were naturally no challenge for these second-generation elites.

Beside Jiang Yu, a dark shadow flashed wildly, tearing a Crimson Demon in half each time.

Jiang Shaoxu remained elegant, and without making any moves, the surrounding Crimson Demons began to fight amongst themselves.

Ai Jiangtu and Guan Yu, both skilled in close combat, charged directly into the demon horde. One used spatial power to crush everything, while the other wielded a fist-blade arm armor, taking down demons one by one.

Li Kaifeng and Zu Jiming started to slack off. Their combat strength was slightly weaker, especially in front of demons. Although poison was extremely deadly and even effective against commanders and monarchs, it had a fatal flaw.

That means the poisoning is slow to take effect. From the time of poisoning to the onset of symptoms and then to death, the demons can tear the mage apart countless times.

As for Li Kaifeng, his wind and shadow skills are really useless. Apart from being fast, he doesn't deal any damage.
