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

"Have you heard? Next month, which is the end of this quarter, we're going to the wilderness for mage training?"

"Go to the wilderness? Wouldn't that mean encountering man-eating monsters? I'm not going!"

"No, this experience is crucial for our future college entrance exams."

Zhang Chen rubbed his chin.

"Training? Does this even exist in the early stages of the full-fledged magic realm? Surely there are mentors protecting them? This is a good opportunity for us to witness the true nature of demons and lay the foundation for my grand money-making plan."

Time flies like water, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The route for this wilderness training exercise has been roughly determined, and we will first head to the Daxueshan Post Station.

The seed class has a total of 100 people, who will be divided into five groups of twenty people each.

There will be instructors accompanying the group and two instructors leading the team. Each group has its own large vehicle, and the five vehicles will drive out of the city in a grand procession.

Mu Bai was unfortunately paired with Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen was definitely one of the people he least wanted to see.

After getting into the car and seeing Zhang Chen, Mu Bai rolled his eyes and found a corner to meditate.

Zhang Chen ignored his disdainful look and listened attentively to the instructors and mentors' introductions.

"Do you remember me telling you that the post stations surrounding each city are the boundaries of the safe zone, and the area outside the post stations belongs to the demons..."

"Within the post station, our Hunter's Alliance, Magic Association, and various magical families send people to patrol and set up guards every day to ensure that no demons will set foot in human residential areas. However, our magical power is limited, and the area we can protect is only within the post station..."

……

After boarding the vehicle and passing through a large area of ​​wasteland outside the city, mountains and forests soon appeared before them. After driving through these winding and steep mountains for most of the day, they finally arrived at the Snow Mountain Inn. Throughout the journey, Zhang Chen's vehicle was unusually quiet.

The post station is flanked by incredibly steep cliffs, hundreds of meters high, where one can only see the azure sky by looking completely upwards. The cliffs on both sides form a natural barrier, and the valley is locked in front and behind by two giant stone gates, making the entire post station a fortified town trapped in the valley.

After the other four groups arrived, a total of one hundred top students entered the Snow Mountain Station.

The village is very simple, with only one main road. There are many shops and stalls on both sides of the main road, which looks similar to a market in a small town. However, instead of daily necessities such as chicken, duck, fish and meat, they sell things that mages need for combat and training.

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up. He ran to a stall selling demon materials, pointed at them, and exclaimed, "Wow! Did you hunt all of these? That's amazing!"

The dark-skinned middle-aged man nodded and smiled sheepishly.

Zhang Chen feigned an expression of admiration: "Can every part of a demon be sold for money?... "

The middle-aged man's nose was slightly upturned, and his head was tilted slightly upwards: "Kid, that's not true. Only a part of each demon can be made into molds to sell for money, such as the claws and teeth of rat demons, and the claws, teeth, and fur of wolf demons..."

"Meet at the square!"

"Assemble! Assemble!"

One of the instructors shouted, and Zhang Chen smiled and gestured to the middle-aged man that it was time for him to assemble. He then walked towards the square.

Soon, a hundred people stood in neat rows, which also attracted some idle monks from the post station. Most of them wore gloating expressions and made no attempt to hide their mockery of the students.

Zhang Chen didn't care; his mind was focused on the price of demon materials.

"A pair of giant-eyed gorilla claws can sell for 20,000, and a one-eyed demon wolf pelt for 100,000... Hehehe... Magicians really do make money fast."

The instructors at school taught us how to escape, how to identify different types and levels of demons, how to cultivate, and basic magic knowledge, but they never mentioned which parts of demons were valuable...

Zhang Chen had just come to his senses when he heard...

"I just accepted a bounty, the easiest one. You have a hundred trainees in your school, right... If any team or individual among you completes the bounty, your entire training assessment will pass, and you'll all receive an A. If not, you'll all fail... The team or individual who completes the bounty will receive a personal reward from me: a defensive magical artifact!" Zhan Kong said.

"Defensive magical artifacts! I heard even the cheapest ones cost hundreds of thousands! I've never seen that much money in my past and present lives combined!"

Not only was Zhang Chen excited, but all the students and hunters present were also thrilled.

……

In the lush mountain forest, a winding path leads to a group of twenty students dressed in Tianlan Magic High School uniforms, who are resting by a cliff.

Whether excited, dissatisfied, or complaining, they ultimately embarked on the path of bounty hunting and training.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

For ten days, they traversed mountains and forests, overcame thorns and brambles, and crossed swamps, enduring unspeakable hardships.

Zhao Kun poured water over his head from the water bottle in both hands, wiped his face, and complained, "Damn instructors and mentors, they dumped us in this godforsaken place! Aren't they afraid some demon will come out and kill us?"

This drew agreement from the crowd, and Zhang Chen gave him a look as if he were an idiot.

"Your brain is... Guess why we haven't encountered any demons along the way? Our instructors and trainers must have been protecting us nearby!"

Holding the map, Mu Bai said encouragingly, "Once we cross this valley, we should be close to the Hundred Herbs Valley that the instructors mentioned."

For some reason, Mu Bai has been very quiet and speaks very little ever since he saw Zhang Chen in his group.

Zhao Kunsan looked at the river in front of him and exclaimed, "Damn, how am I supposed to cross this valley? It must be at least ten meters deep!"

What unfolded before them was a mountain valley with cliffs, where the rushing water below crashed against the rocks with a thunderous roar that reverberated through their hearts, sending chills down their spines.

Mu Bai instinctively ruled out Zhang Chen, who was a plant-type mage, and said, "We have ropes. As long as a wind mage jumps across with the rope and ties it to the tree on the other side, we can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chen interrupted, "It's not that complicated. Little Sanzi, have you forgotten that our group also has a plant-type mage? Move aside! Watch me!"

Upon hearing that familiar, obnoxious voice, Mu Bai couldn't help but clench his fists, but he still made way for him.

A flash of green light enveloped Zhang Chen

Beginner Level 2 Magic Vine - Binding

A thick vine shot out from the ground beneath Zhang Chen's feet and wrapped around the large tree opposite him. Zhang Chen turned his head and smiled, "I'm leaving first, you guys do as you please."

Everyone gasped in surprise at the magic Zhang Chen unleashed.

"Zhang Chen's cultivation is that fast? He's already at the second level of the initial stage!"

……

Mu Bai's face paled slightly, but remembering that he was not far from reaching the second level, he forced himself to remain calm: "You all go first, I'll cover the rear."

Zhang Chen, looking at Mu Bai who was last, suddenly wanted to grab the vine and shake him to scare him, but then he thought that the instructors and mentors might be nearby and watching, which might affect his own grades, so he gave up the idea.

Mu Bai, who was slowly moving above the rushing river while holding onto the vines, suddenly felt a cool breeze and got goosebumps all over his body.
