Xin Xia's eyes hadn't left the god-like Mo Fan brother until Zhang Chen spoke, at which point she realized there was someone else there, and she blushed and lowered her head.

At this moment, Mo Fan felt like his plans had been ruined: "Commander, what do you mean by that? This is my Xinxia! I'm warning you, don't you dare get any funny ideas!"

Zhang Chen quickly explained, "She smells even better than the Holy Spring! I was just asking if she got anything; I can exchange money for it."

Mo Fan frowned, lost in thought.

"Xinxia, ​​we've been together since we were little, it seems like nothing's wrong... but the brigade commander has a really sharp nose, could it be something he acquired recently?"

Xinxia raised her head, her crescent-shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed: "No? Brother Zhang Chen, I didn't get anything special."

They naturally knew each other, because Zhang Chen often went to Mo Fan's house for meals during junior high school, and they became familiar with each other over time.

Mo Fan feigned a wise expression, as if there was only one truth: "Xin Xia also awakened white magic, specifically the healing type. Could that be the reason?"

Zhang Chen carefully re-examined the sensation and nodded, saying, "Indeed, she gave me a feeling of closeness, rather than the longing I felt upon encountering the Sacred Spring."

"It does seem that way, but how could ordinary white magic have such a strong effect? ​​I remember she ended up at the Parthenon... Could it be something on her soul? Touching her soul would have unpredictable consequences, so let's forget about it."

Suppressing her doubts for the moment, she teased, "Mo Fan, how come you've suddenly become so smart..."

Mo Fan's face darkened.

"Don't you think I'm that stupid?"

Seeing that Mo Fan didn't respond, he suddenly became serious and said, "How much magic energy do you have left? I'm almost out of magic energy anyway. If you have a lot of magic energy, you should first guard the surroundings while I recover, and then you can recover..."

Mo Fan's magical energy was actually almost depleted, but it was still more than Zhang Chen's. If it weren't for his control, they wouldn't have been able to clear out the demons so efficiently.

Mo Fan interrupted, "You should recover quickly. I'll keep an eye on things for you."

……

It was nearly dawn when they had recovered their magical energy.

"Are you alright?" Mo Fan asked, opening his eyes.

"No, it's just that a bunch of demons suddenly went berserk for some reason and headed north, which is the direction of the safety barrier. We might encounter them later," Zhang Chen replied.

Mo Fan nodded: "You'll push Xin Xia around in a bit. You're fast at casting spells, so you have to protect her!"

"That's right! I've already said, your sister is my sister!"

Their journey out of the square was peaceful; there were no demons or monsters.

Upon entering the Mingwen Girls' High School, one could see numerous demon corpses scattered throughout the area.

"It seems a mage was just fighting demons here. That mage was quite strong, managing to kill so many demons!"

"Stop talking nonsense, I know you want to suck them, hurry up and suck them, we're waiting for you!"

Zhang Chen held the bonsai sapling in front of him, and the flesh and blood of the surrounding demons automatically formed a stream of blood that flowed into the sapling's body.

Xin Xia looked at Zhang Chen, who had seemed so gentle before, now looked extremely eerie against the backdrop of countless streams of blood, and got goosebumps all over her body.

She tugged at Mo Fan's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Mo Fan, has Brother Zhang Chen joined some kind of cult? He looks like..."

Mo Fan gently rubbed Ye Xinxia's head, paused for a moment, and said, "This is his innate talent. It just looks a bit bloody. When he encounters evil people like the Black Vatican, he wants to kill them more than anyone else."

Ye Xinxia simply nodded silently.

"Awesome! This is almost equivalent to what we earned in half a year of our senior year!" Zhang Chen ran over and spontaneously pushed Ye Xinxia.

They hadn't gone far when some more...

……

"Damn, and..."

……

They arrived at the Tonglu Bridge, stopping and starting along the way.

The clouds and mist were just parted by the rising sun, and rays of clean sunlight fell on the mountains, the city, and the rivers.

As the three of them faced the dawn sunlight, they looked up and saw a vast flock of snow-white eagles.

A large flock of eagles, each carrying a mid-level mage.

Mo Fan said, "Reinforcements have arrived; this disaster is finally over!"

"Luckily, we went out into the wild to hunt demons a year in advance and adapted to this perilous environment..."

……

Shanghai has resettlement areas for refugees from Bo City. Mo Fan and Zhang Chen naturally went to Shanghai to take the entrance exam for Mingzhu Academy. They were prepared for the poor conditions of the resettlement areas, but when they arrived, it was not a resettlement area at all. It was even more dilapidated than the deserted city on the outskirts of Bo City.

They figured they might live here in the future, and since they had some money, they went to look for a house near Mingzhu Academy.

They ultimately chose Jinyuan Apartment, but they underestimated the housing prices in Shanghai. A house in a remote suburb cost nine million! This was only because the landlord had given them a significant discount since they were refugees from Bocheng.

However, after their persistent negotiations, they each reduced the price by 200,000, each chose a house, paid half the price upfront, and promised the homeowner that they would pay the remaining several million in one lump sum a year later.

After settling his family in, Mo Fan and Zhang Chen immediately headed out into the wilderness.

It's worth mentioning that Mo Fan successfully broke through to the intermediate level after absorbing the fire element from the Earthly Holy Spring, but because he didn't have the money to awaken magic, he could only hunt monsters in the wild with Zhang Chen.

One month later

"I can't wait to awaken my magic!" Mo Fan exclaimed excitedly.

"But for people like us who haven't joined any faction, awakening will probably cost a lot of money, and we'll also have to pay off the money we owe for buying a house..."

"Awaken the magic first... anyway, there's still plenty of time..."

During this month, Zhang Chen's dual-elemental abilities also returned to the middle level. At that time, the feedback from the sapling absorbing the Holy Spring of Earth pushed Zhang Chen to the near-perfect level three of the initial stage. He had also broken through to the middle level and had no bottleneck, so he naturally returned to the middle level very quickly.

Moreover, they had worked incredibly hard all month to earn a total of two million. Awakening Stones were controlled by various forces, and to awaken magic, they needed to use money to grease the wheels. Zhang Chen estimated that this amount of money was barely enough for them to awaken magic.

"Ring ring, ring ring..."

Mo Fan and Zhang Chen had just emerged from the wilderness when Mo Fan's communicator rang.

Mo Fan connected directly

A sexy and alluring voice came through the phone: "Hello, Mo Fan..."

Mo Fan...

A moment later, Mo Fan shouted, "Zhang Chen is here with me too, let's go together..."

Zhang Chen gave him a speechless smile.

But this tactic clearly had no effect on Mo Fan, a man with skin as thick as a city wall.

After hanging up the phone, Mo Fan smiled as if he hadn't noticed Zhang Chen's expression at all, and said, "We've resolved the matter of awakening magic. We just need to help Teacher Tang Yue complete a task."

Zhang Chen watched as Mo Fan blatantly lied. He wasn't deaf; Mo Fan hadn't mentioned it at all.

"However, I specifically asked Principal Zhu last time what kind of power the Tribunal was. I didn't expect Teacher Tang Yue's background to be so impressive... After we complete the mission, I'll mention it; she should be able to help us."

Therefore, Zhang Chen did not refuse.
