As an evil force capable of filling the void left by the Holy Lord, Daolong's abilities are beyond question.

After all, the strength of this world is not determined by destructive power, but by the relationship of restraint. No matter how powerful a demon is, it is no match for a small curse.

Rules are the most powerful force in this world.

With the help of the Blade Dragon, the demon was much safer for him.

We still need to be careful, and if his Saint Seiya side comes out in the future, Daolong might come in handy.

Daolong looked thoughtful. "Does Hell really lead to another world?"

"Of course." Lu Cheng conjured a fire-elemental galaxy in his hand.

"Is this magic from another world? Aren't you interested?"

The wizards in this world are not particularly powerful. They can only fight demons by using special spells that exploit bugs, unlike in the world of Full-Time Magician, where it's all about who has the stronger firepower.

Gazing at the wondrous magical galaxy before him, Daolong's expression shifted. "What do I need to give in return?"

"Not much," Lü Cheng smiled.

"All you have is enough."

"..." Daolong.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

“I’m not discussing this with you.” Lu Cheng pressed down on Dao Long’s shoulder.

“Black Qi Wizard, I could easily invade your soul and turn you into an obedient puppet, but I think that method is rather low-level.”

"But if you're being unreasonable and force me to resort to such low-level tactics..."

"I agree!" Daolong quickly interrupted.

His dark aura couldn't withstand the invasion of this demonic energy!

This guy can really turn him into a puppet!

"Very good." Lü Cheng smiled and helped Dao Long straighten his wizard robe.

"Keep it up! You're now my chief dark magic wizard, you have a bright future ahead of you!"

The mind-devouring magic requires a full demon form to activate, and he cannot use it in his current mixed state.

Moreover, Daolong is no ordinary person. He can only scare him, but if this guy doesn't listen to him, he really can't do anything about it.

"I hope so..." Daolong said, speechless.

He is indeed a devil who believes in reason, but he only believes in his own reasoning!

……

Under the cover of night, high above the desolate city of Jinlin, beyond the reach of the naked eye, Lü Cheng and Dao Long sat on a huge floating rock.

After confirming the authenticity of the Cup of Life, Daolong's trust in Lü Cheng deepened, and he voluntarily accepted the summoning contract, being pulled into this world by Lü Cheng through the dimensional gate.

In a sense, Daolong is now Lu Cheng's summoned beast.

After arriving here, Daolong, with the help of Lü Cheng, successfully awakened the Shadow element.

Subsequently, under the Holy Lord's manipulation, the Blade Dragon absorbed a large amount of dark energy, turning stardust into a galaxy along its path!

"How are you feeling?" Lu Cheng asked.

"The magic in this world... is just too simple!" Daolong's feelings were extremely complicated.

If he could unleash such immense power simply by controlling a tiny spark in his spiritual world, then his centuries of relentless pursuit of power, his tireless cultivation day and night...

"Don't be too upset. Without those hundreds of years of experience, you wouldn't have been able to cultivate so quickly after coming into contact with the magic of this world," Lu Cheng said.

Daolong, as the most powerful black magic wizard in a thousand years, has unquestionable talent and strength.

If high-level magicians in this world are one in ten thousand, then Daolong is one in ten thousand of those ten thousand!

An experienced player would find a beginner's quest in a similar game to be incredibly easy.

“...That makes sense.” Daolong nodded.

Without the experience of learning those difficult spells, starting from scratch with the astral magic of this world wouldn't have been incredibly difficult, but it wouldn't have been as easy as it is now.

"I've studied the runes on the Cup of Life, but I have no clue about them yet," Daolong said.

“That thing isn’t urgent, it’s okay if we don’t understand it,” Lu Cheng said.

It's an ancient magical artifact, a collection that even the Holy Lord doesn't possess. If Daolong could figure it out so easily, he would have already achieved immortality.

Moreover, one Cup of Life is enough.

“That’s true.” Dao Long had roughly guessed what Lü Cheng was thinking.

One Cup of Life is indeed enough.

"Where do you want me to research new magic?" Daolong asked.

"We're almost there." Lu Cheng looked down at the dilapidated Jinlin Wasteland City.

Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao were not in danger, so his shadow soldiers did not make a move. Bai Tingting and Mo Fan were getting along quite well, and with Mo Fan's protection, Bai Tingting was not injured. However, the other students were not so lucky.

……

Inside a relatively well-preserved church, the team, which had just had an argument, was now sitting in several small groups, each acting independently.

In the woods some distance from the church.

“Something seems off with everyone,” Mu Ningxue said.

"Really?" Mo Fan lay on the grass with an indifferent expression.

"I think it's alright. After all, everyone has a dark side. The current tense environment is full of danger and too much pressure, which causes these things to come out."

"Where is Bai Tingting?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"She has a crush on me. Back in the gym, I played the hero and saved her. Girls fall for that kind of thing. Now that she's in danger, I'm the only one she can trust. After going through that kind of thing, it's normal for her emotions to explode," Mo Fan said.

"When people are stressed, they tend to make some irrational decisions."

"Just like you, you were doing fine at first, and then suddenly you wanted to run away from home."

"I'm sorry..." Mu Ningxue's expression immediately dimmed.

That incident was an impulsive act on her part, but it dealt a huge blow to Mo Fan's family.

"There's nothing to apologize for," Mo Fan said, resting his hands behind his head.

"Even if I had to do it all over again, I would make the same choice."

"Why?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"I like you," Mo Fan said directly.

"At least at that time, I really liked you. It was the thrill of adolescence. You were so beautiful, and I'm not some celibate monk. Even though I knew you and Lao Lü were a couple, I still couldn't help myself."

"That night, when you made that decision so suddenly, I thought you really liked me and that you were only with him because of your snobbish father's matchmaking. So I took you out without thinking."

They used to be good friends, and Lü Cheng didn't hide anything from him, so he also knew that Lü Cheng's relationship with the Mu family was because his parents, who were high-level mages who had long since disappeared, had been kind to Mu Zhuoyun.

So, that night, he really intended to elope with Mu Ningxue.

He thought it was true love breaking free from its confinement, a brave act of love from a caged bird.

Little did they know, it was just a petty squabble between the young couple.

Damn! He's become a clown!

"And now?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"I wouldn't dare," Mo Fan shrugged.

He can take feelings in stride, or he can let them go.

He does still have feelings for Mu Ningxue, and there's nothing shameful about that.

They're all childhood sweethearts, they grew up together, so why is it that Lü Cheng gets to be single?

Moreover, he could see that the relationship between Mu Ningxue and Lü Cheng was strange.

They can be considered a couple, no problem.

It's fine if you say you're not a couple.

Mu Ningxue's emotions have always been detached, the same to everyone. Even with Lü Cheng, she only reveals her feelings on rare occasions when she is emotionally agitated.

Mu Ningxue never reacted to Lü Cheng's philandering, perhaps out of guilt for what happened back then, or perhaps because she truly didn't care.

Lu Cheng's attitude towards Mu Ningxue was also strange, or rather, he seemed indifferent to everyone.

He couldn't tell how much Lü Cheng cared about Mu Ningxue; he couldn't tell before, and he still couldn't tell now.

He even doubted whether Lü Cheng had ever had feelings for Mu Ningxue.

All he could see was that Lü Cheng had only a simple and brutal possessive desire for Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue could definitely sense it, but she didn't seem to care at all.

"To be honest, if I were strong enough to defeat that monster, I would not hesitate to take you away," Mo Fan said.

"But the truth is, Lü Cheng is terrifying. You have no idea how much of a shadow that guy cast on me since I was a child. Even before he awakened his magic, he was like a monster."
