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

Chapter 44 Totem Black Serpent

Without a word, Zhang Chen strode towards the fourth level. Wow! The fourth level is so difficult! The rate at which mana is consumed has increased seven or eight times!

Zhang Chen climbed up the last step, and with the effort of his ten fingers, he finally managed to move his entire body into the fourth floor. He lay there, his vision blurred, and he almost fainted.

He only rested for a quarter of an hour before seizing the time to cultivate. After seven days, he relied on the rich energy of the fourth layer to cultivate the Chaos System and Healing System to the middle-level perfection, and the Mind System and Sound System to the middle-level first level. Through the feedback from the Sacred Tree twice, he successfully pushed the Space System to the high-level first level.

"Zhang Chen, how did you get that Chaos element?" Mu Nujiao asked from the other sofa. "I awakened it! How else could I get it?" Zhang Chen replied casually while watering the Sacred Tree. "So, you're born with two elements?" Mu Nujiao was clearly surprised that Zhang Chen answered so readily. Thinking that Mo Fan seemed to have four elements, she asked slyly. Zhang Chen didn't answer but just nodded. "Then what are your other two elements?" Mu Nujiao revealed a smug smile. "What did you say? There are two more elements?" Zhang Chen pretended to be confused. "Don't pretend! Before Mo Fan turned into a demon, he also displayed Shadow magic! Didn't you say you were the same as him?"

"Awakening two systems every time?" Mu Nujiao said. "Guess!" Zhang Chen chuckled and said, "Hmph!" Mu Nujiao pretended to be angry and left. He didn't care and closed his eyes to meditate and cultivate. The magic weapon Zhang Chen chose at the academy was a Star River Magic Weapon. He could now cultivate for six more hours a day. Moreover, the energy emitted by the Holy Tree, which had grown twice, could help him increase his cultivation speed by two times.

Suddenly, a warm, fragrant scent wafted against Zhang Chen's earlobe: "Chen, what are those two departments of yours? Tell me, I'm not telling anyone!"

Zhang Chen's ears immediately turned red, but he closed his eyes and ignored her. Zhang Chen was not so easily manipulated.

Seeing that Zhang Chen ignored her, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and her breath became hot and lingered around his ear. His face immediately turned red, and his heart pounded wildly.

Ai Tutu, who had just come out of her room, saw the two people with flushed faces and intimate actions. Her mouth gradually opened wide, but she didn't make a sound. After realizing what was happening, she quietly retreated back to her room with a maternal smile.

"Okay! Okay! I'll talk! Go over there!" Zhang Chen said, his face flushed. "The other two are Healer and Sound System." Zhang Chen said with his head down, his face red. "That's a good boy! Chen!" Mu Nu couldn't help but kiss Zhang Chen's cheek, but the next moment he realized what he had done and ran back to his room with a blush.

She covered her head with the pillow, her mind a jumble of thoughts. "This—how could I be like this? I only wanted to teach him a lesson! How could this be? Do I like him? No! No way! Dad won't agree! No! That's not right! Do I really like him?"

Zhang Chen, sitting in the living room, was also filled with mixed feelings. "What's wrong with me? Looks like I've been resting for too long! I should go check with Lingling to see if there's a reward! People really do start overthinking when they're idle."

After learning from the Qingtian Hunting Grounds that they were unable to fulfill the bounty and commission, he decided to go to the wilderness instead.

After Mo Fan broke through to the advanced level in the Three-Step Tower, he and Xin Xia went off to play somewhere.

So he went directly to the wilderness by himself and didn't return to Jinyuan Apartment.

Moreover, there were not many people in the Space Department of the main campus, so there was no need to compete for rankings to go to the Three Steps Tower. After he found out, he was even more reluctant to go back and spent three months hunting demons alone in the wild.

Two and a half months after entering the wilderness, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered something: he was used to having Mo Fan by his side, so he didn't buy any necromancy artifacts to collect soul essences. He was so angry when he realized this that he slapped his thigh!

Zhang Chen, who had just come out of the wild and hadn't even had a chance to sell the demon materials, suddenly had his communicator ring.

"Hey! Mo Fan, what's up?"

"Commander, would you like to come to Hangzhou? It's the best time to visit Jiangnan right now. Teacher Tang Yue is here too!"

Zhang Chen, of course, knew his expression well enough to ask directly, "Has something happened to Teacher Tang Yue?"

"No, no! I was just asking if you wanted to come and play?"

"Never mind then, I still need to make money!"

"Hey, hey, don't hang up! It really is something! You've come to the right place!"

"Should we bring Lingling along? If we're looking for something, I think we should!"

"Okay, bring her over!"

"good!"

Hangzhou, I think it's the Black Serpent incident, but I don't know what it is.

Without much thought, he went to Qingtian Hunting Grounds to pick up Lingling and then they went to Hangzhou together.

Unlike the scorching sun of the south, where the earth is baked as if it were summer, or the chilly autumn air of the north, Hangzhou in autumn has a comfortable temperature and a gentle autumn breeze. Golden leaves and willow catkins dance gracefully in the city.

"Oh! I see. So, Teacher Tang Yue is the totem guardian, and now someone wants to take advantage of the totem beast's weakened state while it's shedding its skin?"

After listening to Tang Yue's description for a while, Zhang Chen summarized, "This is going to be bad for everyone! Someone has already started framing Xuan She!" Tang Yue pointed to the news on her communicator. Zhang Chen nodded, "So what should we do?"

"First, check the real cause of death of those two people in the news, then find the person behind it. I bet there's a traitor among your guardians, Sister Tang Yue! Let's see if we can lure him out." Lingling tapped her little fingers on the communicator. "Alright! Lingling and I will go to the hospital to find those two bodies. Brigade Commander, you go to West Lake and see which one is the traitor!" Mo Fan said. He probably thought it was one of the Black Vatican's people again, and assumed Zhang Chen could tell the difference.

Zhang Chen sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Alright, but if there are really powerful people among them, I'm going to run away! After all, the Xuan Snake is as big as you guys described! I can't possibly take it with me when I run away!"

"Don't worry about that! We have a space vessel where everyone can go in for a short rest."

"If that happens, I'll hold them off. You just need to lead everyone and run," Tang Yue said. She would never allow anyone to harm the Xuan Snake. Zhang Chen nodded. "If that happens, I'll definitely activate my spirit form and run with you all immediately. Although my spirit form isn't powerful enough for attack right now, its survival ability is top-notch."

"Is the Xuan Snake down there? Can it even live in such a small lake?" Zhang Chen was very curious about the appearance of the Xuan Snake totem. "Don't underestimate this small lake. It's been opened up by spatial power, and the space is big enough to contain the entire Hangzhou!" Tang Yue seemed to be in a much better mood after arriving here. She said, "Could you let him come up so I can take a look? I'm a little curious!" Zhang Chen said, "Just don't be afraid. It has the Eye of Fear. Most creatures weaker than it will have a seed of fear planted in their hearts. The seed will take root deep in their souls and grow strong. They won't even know when it becomes a towering tree until they see it again, and their legs will involuntarily kneel down."

"But the solution is quite simple. Just keep looking into its eyes when it appears during your meditation. Once you overcome your fear, the seed of fear won't sprout," Tang Yue said with a smile.
