Full-Time Magister: Rebirth of Mo Fan as the Primordial Evil Phoenix

A thought flashed through Mo Fan's mind, and he immediately made a judgment.

We came for the Earthly Holy Spring!

At this critical juncture, to infiltrate the underground pipe network and keep a close eye on the branch of the Holy Spring... aside from those lunatics from the Black Vatican, he really couldn't understand why there was a second group of people.

The other party clearly sensed something as well.

The dark shadow that was skimming the surface of the water suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a very faint splash came from the left.

Something is wrong!

Mo Fan's back hairs stood on end.

The lightning magic energy had been almost completely depleted at the rat's nest, and trying to force it out with lightning seals now would most likely be ineffective. Without hesitation, he directly mobilized the fire elemental star and swung his right hand sharply!

The fire elemental particles rapidly connected, and a dark red flame transformed into a scorching beam of fire, blasting fiercely towards the left.

boom!

The flames crashed into the water, sending up plumes of white steam, and the flying sparks illuminated a small area around them in a fiery red glow.

But there was nothing there.

empty.

Mo Fan's heart sank immediately.

cheated!

"The response is good."

A woman's voice came from the right rear, low and cold, calm, revealing little emotion, yet it instinctively made people tense up.

Almost at the same moment the sound rang out, a dark shadow silently darted across the water's surface.

Mid-level Shadow magic!

Mo Fan's expression changed drastically. Without even turning around, he stomped forward, tumbling into the icy sewage. The next instant, a shadow nail slammed into the spot where he had been standing.

"Hold....."

Mo Fan struggled to his feet and, by the light of the fire and the lingering magical energy, managed to make out who it was.

Giant Shadow Nail!

Her black leather jacket clung to her figure, and her military boots shone through the water, long and sleek, making her resemble a knife sheathed in its sheath. Standing between the shadows and the mist, she didn't approach, yet she instilled a sense of awe and dread in everyone.

Then look at that shadow magic!

Mo Fan's eyelids twitched, and the name popped into his mind.

Tang Yue!

The other side clearly didn't give him a chance to catch his breath.

The ambient temperature suddenly rose.

Tiny bubbles rose from the puddles at my feet, and wisps of white steam rose upwards.

A stunning crimson flame lit up in Tang Yue's palm.

The flames were an astonishingly vibrant color, spreading upwards from her arm, even distorting the air slightly from the heat. Beneath her feet, a fire-based star map rapidly unfolded, its intense heat sending chills down one's spine.

Fierce Fist!

Mo Fan's eyes twitched as he watched.

This woman is ruthless; she's always ready to send people to their deaths!

"Wait! It's one of us!" Mo Fan's voice cracked on the spot, "Teacher Tang Yue, it's me! Mo Fan!"

The ball of fire, which was about to collapse, suddenly stopped.

The fire star chart flickered a few times before slowly fading away.

Tang Yue didn't immediately stop; the crimson flame in her palm still burned. She stared through the misty fog at Mo Fan's face, which was covered in mud and shrouded in a black mask. She looked for several seconds, her brow furrowing slightly.

"Mo Fan?"

Her tone was somewhat surprised and full of doubt.

"It's me." Mo Fan pulled down the hood of his hoodie, ripped off his mask, wiped the mud off his forehead, and forced a smile. "If you hadn't recognized me any slower, I would have really become a familiar face today."

Tang Yue didn't react to his banter. Instead, she stepped closer through the puddles, her gaze fixed on him.

Why are you here?

"Well..." Mo Fan chuckled dryly, "Would you believe me if I said I accidentally fell?"

Tang Yue sneered.

"The load-bearing wall outside collapsed, and you managed to fall into the sealed reservoir through the crack?" "Mo Fan, I'll ask you one more time, why are you here?"

Mo Fan didn't reply, but he was secretly wondering about it.

Others may not know, but he knows it very well.

The school teacher is just Tang Yueming's public identity. What makes this woman truly terrifying is that the Tribunal stands behind her.

Her presence here could not possibly be a coincidence.

Nine times out of ten, they are investigating clues about the Black Vatican.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan dared not speak any further.

The two people were a few meters apart, and neither of them moved forward.

The water surface rippled gently, and the surroundings were eerily still.

Tang Yue observed him discreetly.

This kid smells strongly of blood, and he was probably the one who cleared out that rat nest outside.

The problem is—

Could a novice mage really have managed to turn a nest of giant-eyed rats into that state? Could it be the work of that city monster-hunting team from earlier?

A strange look flashed in Tang Yue's eyes, but she didn't show it on her face.

Just then, a faint, strange noise came from the corner of the wall.

The dripping sound of water stopped.

Then came an even clearer sound of flowing water.

Wow!

The wall, which originally only had a thin crack, had somehow broken open even more. Clear spring water flowed down the broken wall and into the murky puddles at the foot of the wall.

A special, warm energy permeated the air.

Tang Yue's expression changed instantly.

She didn't have time to question Mo Fan anymore and quickly walked over.

"Oh no..."

She frowned deeply as she watched the spring water slowly flowing into the sewage.

A branch of the Dishengquan (Earthly Sacred Spring).

Moreover, it was spring water that had just been seeping out from the crack.

This substance was incredibly pure; ordinary containers simply couldn't hold it, and its unique, warm energy dissipated extremely quickly. But she was here today to investigate clues about the Black Vatican. She had no suitable container on her.

If this continues, the essence of this branch will be wasted.

Tang Yue's face looked extremely pale.

Mo Fan opened his mouth, about to speak, when suddenly his chest burned.

"hiss!"

The little loach is going crazy again!

"Hey, you can't do that..."

Mo Fan tried to press it, but he couldn't hold it down at all.

The next second, the little loach flew out of his collar on its own.

The pendant hung in mid-air, its surface shimmering with a faint blue light.

Then, an unreasonable and tyrannical suction force suddenly erupted!

The air, the spring liquid flowing down the walls, and even the essence of the sacred spring that had just mixed in and hadn't yet dissipated in the sewage at their feet were all forcibly extracted.

"Mo Fan, what are you doing! This thing is going to be confiscated!" Tang Yue turned around abruptly.

"It wasn't me!" Mo Fan feigned panic. "This damn pendant is acting up on its own."

Mo Fan was secretly pleased. "Little mudskipper, hurry up and suck it before Teacher Tang Yue reacts! I'll find you a female mudskipper later!"

In just over ten seconds, the sacred spring water flowing from the wall was completely sucked up by the little mudfish.

Then, the little loach trembled slightly.

It looks like they've eaten their fill.

The faint blue light slowly faded away.

With a thud, it slammed back into Mo Fan's chest. Everything was as quiet as if nothing had happened.

The reservoir suddenly became eerily quiet.

Only the echoing dripping of water from the depths of the sewers in the distance remained, each drop emphasizing the deathly silence of the place.

Mo Fan covered his chest with both hands, so embarrassed that he almost dug holes in his toes.

Tang Yue didn't speak.

She just stared at him.

To be precise, it was staring at the pendant on his chest that had fallen completely still.

"You're usually pretty well-behaved." Mo Fan coughed, trying to ease the tension. "Today, I might be... a little hungry."

The air suddenly became even quieter.

Tang Yue approached step by step, her military boots making a soft, rhythmic sound as they stepped into the water. She stopped in front of Mo Fan, her gaze slowly moving from his face to the pendant, a chilling intensity that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Mo Fan." Her tone was calm, yet more dangerous than when she was about to attack. "Do you know what that thing just sucked away?"

Mo Fan's throat moved, but he didn't dare to reply.

Of course he knew.

It is precisely because I know this that I feel even more insecure.

Under normal circumstances, most of the leaked essence of the sacred spring would dissipate along the underground waterways. If they were even less lucky and stumbled upon by wandering demons, it might just breed some troublesome creatures.

But now, most of the money has been swallowed up by the little mudskipper, so in a sense, this is no longer a case of getting something for nothing.

It was intercepted halfway.

Just then, Tang Yue seemed to sense something and suddenly turned her head to look at the drain at the other end of the reservoir. The flame in her hand instantly flared up, illuminating the darkness.

The next second, a scarlet eye slowly lit up deep inside the drain.

Mo Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Immediately following was a low, suppressed panting sound.

Call ~

Call ~

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling ferocity. The water near the drain rippled gently, as if some enormous creature was wading through the sewage, slowly making its way out.

Soon, a ferocious wolf head emerged from the darkness.

Its fur was grayish-black, its fangs sharp and protruding, and the single eye in the center of its forehead gleamed with a cold, eerie light in the firelight. It was greedy, irritable, and carried a hint of madness stimulated by spiritual energy.

One-eyed demon wolf!

Mo Fan's heart sank.

wrong.

But that's not quite right either.

The demonic aura emanating from this one-eyed demon wolf was clearly more ferocious than any other demon of the same level he remembered. Yet, there was also a faint, unstable restlessness emanating from its body, as if it had been meant to devour something but had only tasted scraps, which had instead completely awakened its ferocity.

Tang Yue's expression also turned ugly.

She clearly noticed it too.

This one-eyed demonic wolf was most likely attracted by the aura leaking from the Earthly Sacred Spring, and may even have been lurking nearby for some time. However, most of the essence that was actually released was intercepted by the strange pendant on Mo Fan's chest.

Instead of getting to eat what I wanted, I was driven completely insane by the shock.

The one-eyed wolf slowly stepped out of the drain, its one eye fixed on the two of them, letting out a low growl.

It suddenly raised its nose and sniffed the air.

The next instant, the single eye suddenly locked onto the little mudfish pendant on Mo Fan's chest!

The one-eyed wolf lowered its front paws, arched its back, and let out a suppressed roar from its throat.

The once calm water surface suddenly trembled, and at that moment Mo Fan finally understood.

This thing is aimed at him!
