Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 41 This bastard, does he still want to deceive his teacher?

Several months later, the main campus assessment arrived.

"Li Xingze, be careful these days, the Black Vatican might cause you trouble."

"The Black Vatican?" Li Xingze was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Then why doesn't Teacher Tang Yue become my personal bodyguard?"

"You wish. I have a mission to complete right now. Besides, with your abilities, you can protect yourself without any problems."

Tang Yue on the other end of the phone rolled her eyes. This guy actually dared to flirt with his teacher!

Because of Li Xingze, Tang Yue reached the advanced level earlier, so the person in charge of Chaohe was naturally replaced, and she had a higher-level task.

As for Mei Yan, she naturally fell under the jurisdiction of the Tribunal.

"I don't have any real strength. I'm just a lowly mid-level mage," Li Xingze said.

Tang Yue rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Can an ordinary mid-level mage have a summoned beast with such a high bloodline? If you hadn't gone to Pearl Academy, I would have dragged you to the Inquisition."

"I'm not interested in being a judge, but men who are judges are quite nice."

"Can you be serious for once? I'm your teacher."

Tang Yue was no innocent girl, and she immediately understood the hidden meaning in Li Xingze's words.

This bastard, does he still want to bully his teacher?

"It's okay, I just like mature women," Li Xingze chuckled.

Tang Yue didn't want to be led by the nose, so she quickly ended the conversation.

Every time I make a phone call, this guy leads me astray.

"The Black Vatican is not as simple as you think. Be careful in everything you do," Tang Yue cautioned.

"Don't worry, I'm just a lowly summoner, I value my life very much."

"Oh, and Mo Fan too. He's very likely on the Black Vatican's list. Anyway, you all need to be very careful."

After saying that, Tang Yue hung up the phone. She had a lot of confidence in Li Xingze's abilities.

"The Black Vatican, huh?" Li Xingze murmured, holding his phone.

The Abyss Dragon has reached the advanced stage and is very close to the Commander level. If it weren't for the limitations of the Summoning Nebula, it might have already reached the Commander level.

Although he is only at the peak of the Warrior level, with the blessing of dragon breath, dealing with some minor commanders should not be a problem.

With only two and a half months left until the main campus assessment, it would be best to cultivate the wind element to the second level as well.

In this way, even if he encounters a high-level mage, Li Xingze can use his displacement ability to restrain him and let the Abyss Dragon deal with him.

"I'm very pleased because, from the freshman orientation to today, I've witnessed the growth of many people."

"The Green Campus is the final stop on your youthful journey, the small, warm pool before you face the torrents and waterfalls. The next stop is the real magical journey. Swallow all the grievances, injustices, and hardships you suffer. No one will pity the weak!"

At the school-wide assembly, Dean Xiao once again began his passionate speech.

It has to be said that there's a reason why Dean Xiao persisted in this position even after banning incantations; it would be such a waste for someone with such eloquence not to be a teacher!

Li Xingze was so excited by what he heard that he couldn't help but exclaim, "Applause if you understand!"

The students nearby were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and as if receiving a command, they inexplicably began to clap.

"Slap slap slap!!"

The other trainees, hearing the applause, also clapped along, seemingly out of confusion.

Although I don't know why we should clap, there must be a reason why everyone else is doing it!

Dean Xiao, who had been giving a passionate speech, was thrown off balance by the sudden applause.

Dean Xiao's gaze quickly locked onto the culprit, Li Xingze. His face darkened. This kid thinks he's a success guru?

Next, Dean Xiao went over the rules for the main campus assessment again.

In short: only intermediate-level mages are qualified to participate in the main campus assessment.

Although it may seem inhumane, it is actually quite reasonable. Everyone's talents are of varying levels, and the competition in the main campus is very intense. Wouldn't a novice mage just be cannon fodder if they went there?

If you can't break through to the intermediate level within three years, you might only ever be a beginner mage in your entire life. If you're lucky, you might break through to the intermediate level.

In Li Xingze's view, a mage's talent is divided into four levels. The first level is that of an unparalleled genius, such as Qin Yu'er and Ding Yumin.

The second tier consists of geniuses, such as Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Zhang Xiaohou, and Xu Zhaoting. This type varies in skill level, but at the very least, they can all reach higher levels.

The third tier consists of students with some talent; these students should have no problem entering the main campus within three years.

At the very bottom of the list are those students who can't even get into the main campus. Some of them may have been harmed by the Awakening Stone, while others may not have had any talent to begin with.

Inferior awakening stones result in almost random awakenings; one might awaken the most talented magic user, or the least talented magic user.

As the mages with only initial cultivation levels left one after another, the originally crowded seats suddenly became less crowded.

With an elimination rate as high as 50 to 1, the threshold for the intermediate level is not so simple!

This is only the intermediate level. It is even more difficult to break through the threshold of the advanced level. Apart from relying on the energy of the Star River Vein, there is almost no possibility of breaking through.

"Congratulations to those who stayed on and have entered the main campus of Pearl Academy," Dean Xiao continued.

"Huh? Wasn't there supposed to be an assessment?" Xu Zhaoting asked, puzzled.

"The intermediate level is the threshold for the main campus, and the assessment is related to the ranking," Zhao Manyan explained from the side.

"Rankings!" Mo Fan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Does that mean there will be rewards?"

Dean Xiao slowly pulled out a rolled-up instruction sheet from his pocket and began to explain the details of the assessment task in a calm and unhurried manner.

As expected, it was the mission to capture the Shadow Beast alive, which posed absolutely no challenge for Li Xingze.

"Students or teams that capture and deliver the summoned beast to the school's iron cage will be rewarded! Individuals who complete the task will receive all rewards, while teams of up to 5 will receive the same reward: a chance to train in the Three-Step Tower!"

Dean Xiao's gaze was fixed on Li Xingze. If nothing unexpected happened, the first place would belong to Li Xingze.

I don't know how much time it will take him.

As soon as Dean Xiao finished speaking, all the students' eyes were focused on Li Xingze. This was a real powerhouse!

If we could grab onto this powerful figure, wouldn't it be like getting a free opportunity to cultivate in the Three-Step Pagoda?

"Brother Ze, my dear Brother Ze, you won't abandon me, will you?"

Zhao Manyan reacted quickly, grabbing Li Xingze on his left as if afraid he would sneak away.

"Old Li, no, Brother Ze, we have such a deep friendship, shouldn't I get a share too?" Mo Fan said, winking.

Li Xingze was also envious of the Three-Step Tower. If he could step into the fourth floor, and with the Star River Vein he had prepared, he might be able to break through to a higher level in the Summoning system.

"What's with the arrogance? Finding demons isn't just about strength. I, Bai Zangfeng, will definitely be the first to find it."

Looking at Li Xingze, who had become the center of attention, Bai Zangfeng complained unhappily.
