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

As the seed sprouted, Zhang Chen felt a feedback coming from it, and the situation was urgent, so he suppressed the absorption.

Now, feeling the abundant magical energy within my body, I decisively accepted the feedback, sat cross-legged, and meditated, attempting to break through to the intermediate level.

Seeing Zhang Chen meditating cross-legged, Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan spontaneously protected him.

With inexhaustible magical energy and the feedback it provided, the barrier of stardust-nebula in Zhang Chen's spiritual world shattered like clay chickens and earthenware dogs. Both his plant and space systems broke through to the intermediate level. After this continuous spiritual breakthrough, Zhang Chen had a splitting headache.

Upon detaching from the Tree Spirit state, the nebula in the spiritual world rapidly faded until it disappeared completely, leaving only two specks of stardust stained with a faint crimson hue.

Because this fusion with the Sacred Tree was rather hasty, he only gleaned from the seed that each time he merged with the Sacred Tree, the Sacred Tree would synchronize with Zhang Chen's physique, and when the fusion ended, the Sacred Tree would convert a portion of his cultivation into nutrients to strengthen his Star Seed.

Zhang Chen now only felt his body was full of power, but he didn't know exactly how strong his physique was. He only knew that based on what he fed it, it had at least the physique of an advanced-stage servant.

However, his cultivation level has now dropped to the second level of the initial stage.

Fortunately, he had already broken through to the intermediate level, so the barrier of the intermediate level was gone. From now on, he only needed to cultivate step by step.

Moreover, now that the seed has sprouted, the energy it emits can help accelerate his cultivation, increasing it by about 10%.

Furthermore, as long as Zhang Chen holds it, his magic power will increase by half a percent, similar to the effect of the Divine Seal Praise.

The first thing Zhang Chen saw when he opened his eyes was Mo Fan staring at him expectantly.

Mo Fan took out his little mudskipper: "How about we switch?"

Zhang Chen casually tossed the seed to him: "Try to see if you can connect with it. Mine, like yours, has a master!"

Mo Fan actually closed his eyes and tried it.

The little monkey exclaimed admiringly, "Brother Chen, what kind of seed is this?! You were so incredibly cool just now!..."

Zhang Chen spread his hands: "I don't know either! It appeared in my hands after I awakened."

"Ahhh! I want the power of a seed bursting forth too!" Mo Fan realized that no matter how he sensed it, it was just an ordinary seed, uttering a voice full of resentment.

Mo Fan then tossed the seeds to Zhang Chen with a look of disdain.

"My little mudskipper is the best, yes! The best! ...But I still really want that power to unleash my full potential!"

I tried my best to comfort myself, but no matter how I comforted myself, I still really wanted it.

The little monkey's slightly puzzled voice rang out: "By the way! Brother Fan, what's with your lightning magic? And Brother Chen's invisibility magic too."

"That's right! When did the brigade commander awaken another kind of magic?"

Mo Fan casually boasted, "When I awakened back then, I awakened both lightning and fire elements, but you were all next door and didn't see it."

"But when did you awaken your invisibility magic, Commander?"

"Didn't you see that? That sliver of moonlight on the Awakening Stone before the Plant Awakening?"

……

"Dimensional Magic, Spatial Magic"

"Damn, why are you so special? One uses white magic, the other dimensional magic!?"

"Shut up! Do you see me doing any damage?! Your lightning and fire damage are..."

"No, I think I still need to develop a relationship with your seed. Maybe one day we can make contact..."

"Get lost, it's not even aware of anything..."

……

The three of them returned to Bo City the day before the duel.

"Finally back! Living in the wild every day, I was turning into a wild man..."

"Ring ring, ring ring..."

Mo Fan hadn't had time to reflect before his communicator rang, and seeing that it was his father calling, he quickly answered.

"Mo Fan, you little brat, where have you been?!"

Mo Fan quickly explained.

A moment later, the little monkey's communicator also rang.

The same question and concern

The three of them usually don't have a signal in the wild, and at most they can let their families know they are safe when they are at a mountain inn.

Why didn't Zhang Chen have one? He hadn't even bought a communicator yet, and he didn't have any family.

Seeing the comical way Mo Fan and the little monkey were explaining with their heads down, Zhang Chen sighed and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

They quietly gestured to each other, asking if they wanted to have a drink that night.

Seeing them nod, Zhang Chen went back to school first.

……

Sunset in the west

The light, like gold dust, sprinkled upon everything, coating it with a warm, shimmering glow.

Before them stretched a golden expanse of high-rise buildings. Mo Fan and Zhang Chen sat on the terrace, where a fierce wind was raging. From there, they could see the Mu Family Manor, the Bo River flowing through the city, and Tianlan Magic High School nestled in the South Mountain.

"Where did you find this place? The scenery is pretty good!"

"By the way, where's the little monkey?"

"His parents won't let him come out, but I told him to sneak out the window using the ventilation shaft..."

"No! I'll eat first. I'm about to throw up from eating dry rations every day for a year in the wild!"

……

After three rounds of drinks

Zhang Chenping lay to one side, gazing at the bright moon and the countless stars in the sky.

"Brigadier, your alcohol tolerance isn't great! You'll be lying on the ground in no time!"

"What do you know? I'm absorbing the essence of moonlight for my seed!"

Zhang Chen was indeed slightly drunk; he had never drunk so much alcohol in either his past or present life.

The little monkey was called back by his parents after a short while.

Just then, very light and rhythmic footsteps came from the stairwell.

Zhang Chen realized he was blocking the stairwell and, not wanting to stand up, rolled to the side to continue absorbing the essence of moonlight.

But a gust of cold wind blew by, sobering him up considerably, and he immediately stood up alertly.

But when he saw that it was Mu Ningxue, he plopped down on the ground.

Mu Ningxue frowned slightly as she looked at the wine bottles scattered all over the terrace.

He turned to Mo Fan and said, "I asked Xin Xia, and she said you were here."

Mo Fan clearly recognized Mu Ningxue from the footsteps, and casually grabbed a few clean newspapers and spread them next to her: "You're here so late? I can't take you with me this time."

"Don't go tomorrow, Yu'ang will treat you badly..."

……

Zhang Chen sensed the atmosphere between them and felt that he should have left earlier, but now he was caught in a dilemma – whether he left or not.

"Don't you understand?! I told you not to go!"

"During my four years at the academy, I will gradually take control of the family's power. At that point, no one in Bo City will be able to do anything to you!"

Mo Fan turned to meet her gaze, feigning surprise: "You want to keep me as a sugar daddy? But I'm still going!"

"You!..." Mo Fan's chest heaved with anger at Mu Ningxue.

"I was really trying to help him! Him!..."

Zhang Chen watched as Mu Ningxue turned and left in anger, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Yu Ang? If he weren't at the intermediate level, it would be quite impressive if he could even unleash magic on Mo Fan tomorrow. Mu Ningxue had no idea how strong Mo Fan had become after a year of training in the wild.

This is also true for a magician like Mu Ningxue who has always lived in an ivory tower...

Zhang Chen said to Mo Fan, who was deep in thought, "Tomorrow, beat him to a pulp and let them see the results of your year of training in the wild!"

"Of course! If he can cast a spell tomorrow, I'll wash my hair upside down!"
