Full-Time Magister: The Path to Invincibility

Chapter 172 Preparation

"Just me? Dean Xiao, you must be joking! Didn't you send any high-level instructors here?" Ling Tianyu said in astonishment.

"I'm not joking!" Dean Xiao said seriously. "I only sent some mid-level instructors who have reached the maximum level of cultivation. The high-level instructors are mostly in the main campus. I thought that having you, who has a combat strength of about high level, would be enough."

"Of everyone present, you are the only one with commander-level strength, so... please! The rest, whether students or instructors, are nothing compared to a commander-level expert!"

"I need to have the entire town sealed off; absolutely no student from Pearl Academy should be allowed to escape!"

"Alright!" Ling Tianyu reminded, "Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely do not let other high-level mages get involved! Otherwise, I can't help you."

…………

"Lingling, you've got work to do!" After hanging up the phone, Ling Tianyu immediately connected with Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

"What's wrong? Ha~" Lingling's soft and sweet voice came from the phone, with a bit of kitten-like whimpering.

"Something terrible has happened..." Ling Tianyu explained the current situation. "The only solution now is to locate everyone by tomorrow and then capture them all at once. If they're scattered, it will be much harder to handle!"

"What!" Lingling, we never expected that such a big thing would happen in the time it takes to take a nap. If we are not careful, it could lead to a tragedy involving thousands of people, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of people living in the town!

"This demon is probably just as intelligent as a human! I'm coming right now!" Lingling said.

"Be careful, I'll be waiting at your exact drop-off point to prevent any unsightly monsters from coming after you!"

"Is the situation really that serious?" Lingling was taken aback.

"That's right, they're incredibly well-hidden. Even I can't spot any flaws, so you must tell me your whereabouts beforehand, and I must protect you the entire time. Even a mid-level mage would find it difficult to remain unscathed in this situation. In other words, there are very few people in this entire town you can trust!"

…………

Lingling took a taxi to Shanhe Town, where Ling Tianyu was located.

"Waaaaah~" Xiao Qingdai seemed a little restless, obviously there were quite a few unruly demons around him.

However, Ling Tianyu was prepared. He took out a bag of powder from his pocket and sprinkled it on his body, and most of the malice disappeared instantly.

They mistook Ling Tianyu for one of their own.

"Phew, thankfully it worked!" Ling Tianyu didn't want to alert the enemy now; starting a war now would bring no benefit!

"Waaaaah~" Xiao Qingdai was stunned, not understanding why Ling Tianyu would sprinkle the smelly powder on her body.

"Qingdai, come, let me sprinkle some on you too."

"Waaah!" Little Qingdai was startled and shook her head frantically, waving her chubby little hands wildly.

It would be better to kill her than to have such a stinky thing sprinkled on her!

"Sweetie, I'll give you three big bags of potato chips after I sprinkle it on!" Ling Tianyu said helplessly.

"Waaaaah~"

Xiao Qingdai's eyes lit up, and after hesitating for a moment, she extended a palm.

"You want five bags!" Ling Tianyu sighed and said, "Alright, five bags it is!"

………………

After Ling Tianyu sprinkled the powder on Xiao Qingdai, all the malicious gazes finally disappeared.

Fortunately, these manipulated henchmen were not as intelligent as their leader and were easily fooled.

Soon, a taxi sped up, and Lingling's petite figure appeared.

"You pay!"

Lingling's words were still as cold and indifferent as ever.

"Master, the money's been sent! Let's go quickly!" Ling Tianyu urged.

"That kid has no manners!" the driver muttered, then sped away.

"Come on, let me sprinkle some on you too." Ling Tianyu didn't care whether Lingling wanted to or not, and sprinkled some powder on her first.

"It stinks!" Lingling also disliked the smell, but didn't say anything more.

She was also aware of Ling Tianyu's purpose.

"The current situation..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back!"

…………

At the farmhouse inn, Ling Tianyu and Lingling sat side by side on the bed.

"So, the situation has gotten this serious! You can feel the malice even when you're walking down the street," Lingling said in surprise.

"Yes, I also have some of those demonic body parts here. Could you make a device that can display the corresponding location of the demon?" Ling Tianyu asked.

"This... I'll give it a try!" Lingling thought for a moment, then picked up the computer and started operating it.

Ling Tianyu left the room with Lingling and contacted Ding Yumin and the others.

He was relatively at ease with Ding Yumin, but just to be on the safe side, he still gathered the four of them at his place.

"Qingdai, get to work!"

The Plant Spirit is highly sensitive to these filthy things, and currently only she can identify this strange parasitic creature.

"Waaaaah~"

Looking at the four people in front of her, Xiao Qingdai didn't have any special reaction. Obviously, none of the four had been parasitized, which was the best-case scenario.

"What's wrong?"

Ding Yumin and the other three were a little confused. Why was Ling Tianyu acting so strangely after they hadn't seen him for a few days?

"Okay, come in, I'll explain the details to you later," Ling Tianyu said.

…………

"What?! Parasitic demons, and they're contagious!" All four were shocked.

"That's right, this is a big deal. The whole town has probably fallen. Don't trust anyone except you. Tomorrow is very important..." Before Ling Tianyu could finish speaking, his phone rang.

"Hello, Dean Xiao..."

"We have sealed off Shanhe Town, but that guy is really as vigilant as you said. We high-level mages can't get in, and the role of mid-level mages is limited..." Dean Xiao's tone was low, with a hint of self-blame.

"It's okay, I'll do my best!"

Ling Tianyu turned on speakerphone, so all four people present heard the conversation between the two, and their expressions instantly turned sour.

After Ling Tianyu hung up the phone, the four of them believed his story.

"So... what do we need to do?"

Dongfang Lie was the first to ask.

"Isn't the final step of our assessment at the main campus a trip to a suburban park? I feel that's the place we need to be most wary of," Ling Tianyu said, expressing his opinion.

"As long as we can deal with the leader over there, the other parasitized demons will naturally collapse on their own."

"However, our focus now is that the demon's strength is probably at the commander level, so you can't get involved. You just need to deal with some general-level grunts on the side."

"Could it be that you..." Dongfang Lie hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"That's right, I've reached the high-level plant-type; no one but me can stand against him!"
