Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

a month later

Rooftop of Building 3, Tianlan Magic High School

Zhang Chen continued to approach the seed with various objects, but it remained unresponsive. He increasingly felt that this was his cheat code, and his heart was filled with an unbearable itch.

Suddenly, a face that he found utterly despicable appeared before him, but that face was currently filled with worry and distress, as if it had caused a major disaster and didn't know how to resolve it. Zhang Chen was momentarily taken aback: "Mo Fan, why are you making that face? You didn't break the Star Artifact, did you?"

Seeing Mo Fan nod, Zhang Chen immediately distanced himself from him, saying, "Damn it, I don't know you. Goodbye!"

But Zhang Chen's legs didn't move. Seeing that he hadn't scared Mo Fan, he smiled and said, "In our current situation, we can only tell the teachers. We definitely can't tell the school leaders and Xue Musheng; that would be the end of it. Let's find Tang Yue. She shouldn't be a local of Bocheng, yet she was able to directly become our seed class's practical teacher. Besides, she was the first to come and check when I broke the Star Sensing Stone last time... She definitely has no connection with the Mu family."

"She must have realized that I was the one who broke the Star Sensing Stone. After seeing that black stone, she probably guessed that it was related to Mu He, so she didn't expose me... I remember that Mo Fan's little mudskipper was bound to him, right? I didn't expect it to devour the Star Artifact at this time."

Mo Fan agreed with Zhang Chen's point and dialed Tang Yue's communicator: "Teacher Tang Yue, are you asleep?"

……

Zhang Chen didn't know what they were talking about, but he remained silent when he saw Mo Fan's expression shifting between daydreaming and feigning a pitiful look.

Within minutes, Zhang Chen sensed a magical fluctuation in the shadows of the rooftop and instinctively moved away from there, causing Mo Fan to retreat as well.

"Mo Fan? Zhang Chen?"

Finally, a gentle voice came.

"Teacher Tang Yue!" The two of them looked in the direction of the voice.

Just then, a shadow appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes from the shadows, and then it transformed into a woman wearing a long knitted trench coat who walked out from there.

Mo Fan gasped, "What kind of ability is this?"

At the same time, Zhang Chen exclaimed in surprise: "Dark magic?! Shadow magic?!"

Mo Fan felt a sense of relief when he heard Zhang Chen's words, as if his doubts had been resolved, but this was quickly replaced by other emotions.

"Dude, you're making me look really dumb!"

Tang Yue praised Zhang Chen, then quickly switched to a serious tone and asked Mo Fan, "What happened to the Starry Sky Magic Artifact?"

The bright moonlight shone on Teacher Tang Yue's stunning figure, making her look like a goddess on the moon, which stirred Mo Fan's heart.

"I don't know what happened. I did as Instructor Xue Musheng said, but for some reason the energy in the Star Artifact suddenly disappeared, and then..."

Seeing Mo Fan frowning, Tang Yue stammered, "And then what happened?"

Mo Fan was wondering whether to tell Tang Yue about the little mudfish's situation. He wasn't worried about Zhang Chen. Even if he was stupid, he would have noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Chen. Ordinary people can only cultivate for a maximum of five hours a day. I can cultivate for ten hours, which may be because of my transmigration. But why can Zhang Chen cultivate for eight hours? Moreover, I have never seen him practice controlling the star to release it. And he plays with that broken seed of his every day. He must know that something is wrong with me.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Then, the energy was transferred to this pendant." Mo Fan took out the little mudfish.

Seeing that Mo Fan had spoken so directly, Zhang Chen felt a storm raging in his heart.

"No? You just blurted it out? Aren't you afraid she'll get greedy? Or do you know the pendant is bound to you?!"

Zhang Chen kept his eyes fixed on Teacher Tang Yue, ready to restrain her at any moment if anything went wrong. He believed that with Mo Fan's lightning fire and his own space and plants, they still had a chance of escaping.

……

Only when he saw that Tang Yue had no intention of killing him to silence him did Zhang Chen slowly relax.

"First, it's a Stardust Magic Artifact with growth potential. Second, it's not that I'm not interested in your growth-type Stardust Magic Artifact, but rather that it seems to have an unbreakable soul connection with you. Finally, the growth of your artifact comes at the cost of other Stardust Magic Artifacts and their essences," Tang Yue earnestly warned Mo Fan.

At this moment, Zhang Chen, holding the seed, said, "Teacher Tang Yue, can you tell me what this seed is?"

Zhang Chen clearly felt a connection between this seed and himself, and he wasn't afraid of it being taken away by others. Seeing how much Tang Yue knew, he finally couldn't hold back and asked.

Tang Yue picked up the seed and examined it carefully for a while, then looked at Zhang Chen with a "you're making fun of me" gaze: "Isn't this just an ordinary seed? Do you think I'm easy to talk to and are you just making fun of me?"

Zhang Chen frowned, shook his head, and apologized to Teacher Tang Yue.

At this moment, Mo Fan spoke up in a cheeky tone: "Teacher Tang Yue, you have no idea how he plays with this damn seed every day..."

Zhang Chen's lips twitched, and he had already mentally unleashed the "Ten Thousand Camels Galloping" technique on Mo Fan.

Seeing their expressions, Tang Yue sighed and said seriously, "Give me that broken Stardust Magic Artifact. I'll help you sort this out. This is a personal favor I did for you, so you owe me one."

Mo Fan immediately patted his chest and assured her, "Thank you so much, Teacher Tang Yue! Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need my help!"

Tang Yue nodded and disappeared into the darkness.

Mo Fan couldn't help but yearn for shadow magic.

"This is the kind of magic a genius like me should have! This skill is so cool it's unbelievable! Just imagine a dark and stormy night... hehehe... I wonder when I'll be able to learn it... Wait, I haven't even asked what a spirit essence is yet!"

Mo Fan caught sight of Zhang Chen, who was still playing with the seed, out of the corner of his eye, and ran over to hug Zhang Chen's neck: "Commander, can you tell me what the essence is?"

Mo Fan immediately enlightened Zhang Chen.

"That's right, these extraordinary items definitely need to be fed with extraordinary creatures or resources..." Zhang Chen immediately grasped the key point and explained it to Mo Fan in a good mood:

"Simply put, when a demon dies, its soul leaves its body. The soul that leaves the body is the demon's soul. If, after a demon dies, its soul stays in its body for a while and emits a special soul light, then this kind of soul is called a spirit soul. A spirit soul is dozens of times more refined than an ordinary soul soul."

Mo Fan was in high spirits and full of enthusiasm: "So, if I want the little mudfish to grow, I need to kill more demons... I need to quickly improve my strength, fight monsters, level up, and reach the pinnacle of life..."

Zhang Chen nodded, a rare occurrence: "I'll control the situation, you deal damage, the little monkey will pull the monsters and lead us away, and we can sell the parts of the demons for money. Then we won't have to live such a miserable life anymore..."

Zhang Chen and Mo Fan were both lost in thought for a moment, simultaneously uttering "Hehehe..."
