Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death.

Chapter 20: You're risking your life for just a few hundred yuan a month?

The sinister look on Lü Wanqing's face had vanished, leaving only disbelief and confusion in his eyes!

Why?

Why is that?

Why would a low-level light-elemental mage like me unleash fire magic?

He thought he was seeing things, or that it was some kind of magical artifact. But the towering crimson light opposite him, the magnificent star trails around him, and the scorching heat coming his way told him that it was all real!

"Born with... dual systems?"

Lu Wanqing squeezed out these four words from his throat.

This blond brat has awakened the light, and even more so, the fire! He possesses a talent that is even more enviable than that of a naturally born spirit!

Why?

Good heavens, are you blind?! Why waste such terrifying talent on a kid who hasn't even grown a beard yet?! Why didn't you give it to me?!

Why!

The resentment, fueled by extreme jealousy, was so intense it was almost tangible!

In just a few seconds, Xu Fang became the person he hated most in his life, without exception!

"Do you know how much I've been bullied? Do you know how much ridicule I've endured? Just because I awakened the Light element, I'm penniless, powerless, a fucking useless person!"

Lu Wanqing's eyes were bloodshot: "And just when I finally became a mid-level mage and gained fire magic, you appeared! You made me a joke! A clown!"

"What I struggled for half my life, even falling into the clutches of the Black Vatican and living a life of constant danger, you were born with?!"

"Why should I?!"

"I'm asking you, on what grounds?!"

His humiliation in high school, the lack of attention from the Tribunal, and joining the Black Vatican made his heart even more extreme!

He no longer held back his magic power; he had no intention of sparing Xu's life. He would use the flames of his rage to burn this damned brat to ashes!

"An inspirational story about a criminal? If it were written as a self-help book, it might sell out." Xu Fang sneered. "But there's one thing I need to correct you on: you didn't just struggle half your life, you struggled your entire life—because today is your last day!"

Feeling wronged?

I, Xu, am most skilled at influencing people. From today onwards, I guarantee you will never feel wronged again!

Fireballs met fireballs, like two meteorites colliding. A huge mushroom cloud rose from the top, flames flew everywhere, and nothing grew within a radius of several meters!

"How is that possible!"

Lü Wanqing couldn't believe his eyes.

He watched helplessly as his Fire Burst, the moment it came into contact with Fire Burning Bones, vanished as if its spine had been ripped out, its inherent ferocity completely gone.

Generally speaking, the magical power released by ordinary mages, regardless of their cultivation level, is almost the same, with only slight fluctuations due to magical energy.

Once you advance to the intermediate level, you can cast spells much faster than a beginner mage, but the power remains the same.

Just like the Fire Burst skill used by Mo Fan and the Fire Burst skill used by Xu Dahuang of the City Monster Hunting Team, there is not much difference between them.

According to this theory, even if Xu Fang's level two fire attack is used to great effect, it is definitely no match for Lü Wanqing's level three fire attack.

But anything can happen unexpectedly... Xu Fang's flames are no ordinary fire!

"How could a novice mage absorb a spirit seed..." Lu Wanqing watched helplessly as the flames swept in, but his spiritual world had no magic power to support defensive magic. He could only turn to ashes along with his last words.

This was Xu Fang's first murder.

Fortunately, Lü Wanqing's corpse had been carbonized, so there was no strange smell, and its shape was far less abstract than that of the One-Eyed Demon Wolf and the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat.

Life is short, so seize the day!

The only valuable thing Lu Wanqing had was a demon-slaying tool, which he probably bought to make up for his lack of offensive means, but it was already broken.

"Damn it, a mid-level mage like me doesn't even have a decent magical tool!" Xu Da exclaimed indignantly. "And he's working two jobs? What are you doing, risking your life for a few hundred yuan a month?!"

Although he said that, Xu Fang still honestly put away the demon-slaying tool. Even if it was expensive to repair, it was still better than spending millions to buy a new one!

Like an old man scrubbing a bathhouse, he turned Lü Wanqing over. Because he hadn't been directly exposed to the flames, the skin on this side was relatively well-preserved.

"What is this?"

Xu Fang frowned as he looked at Lü Wanqing's lower back, where there was a black, centipede-like mark.

Take out your phone, search it on Baidu, and you'll know!

"Succubus yin patterns? No way, this guy looks respectable but likes this kind of thing?" Xu Fang felt a chill.

If Lu Wanqing had a spirit in the afterlife, he would jump up and grab Lu Wanqing by the collar, yelling: You're the succubus! Your whole family are succubi!

This thing is called the Forgetfulness Worm! It's an exclusive product of the Black Vatican, capable of devouring the host's memories and evading the Oath Tree!

But clearly, Lü Wanqing didn't have that opportunity and could only endure Xu Fang's malicious speculation in humiliation.

After licking the bag clean, Xu Fang focused his attention and sensed the intense elemental fluctuations in the air in the distance. Tu Chao and Liu Guifang, two mid-level mages, were locked in a fierce battle.

Xu Fang couldn't control that.

The fight with Lü Wanqing just happened to end when they fell together. Lü Wanqing didn't have any real fighting skills, so it was just a convenient excuse to beat him up.

Tu Chao is different; he's a mid-level player in two elements. Going there would be suicide!

It's a one-on-one situation; hopefully, the judge will be helpful...

······

After killing Lü Wanqing, Xu Fang did not linger but rushed into the city, even hitching a ride with a convoy of goods along the way.

After he casually tossed out a firecracker, the truck drivers greeted him with smiles and helped him into their vehicles.

These poor truck drivers in the suburbs are earning their living by risking their lives. Their only way to fight off demons is to floor the gas pedal; if there are more than three, they're doomed.

I never expected to be so lucky today, to have a great mage protecting me!

Yangcheng is an ordinary small city, just like Bocheng, where a mid-level mage can become a local tyrant.

Xu Fang inquired his way to the local Hunter's Alliance. In the hall, the hunter mages were loudly calling out to find teammates and suitable quests.

"Wind-type support! We need a reliable wind-type mage teammate!"

"A three-year veteran team, requiring water-based mages with strong mental fortitude, so they don't get unable to connect to the Star Orbit when encountering demons!"

"Flying Tigers Squad is recruiting a fire-type main damage dealer mage. Bounty sharing and everything else are negotiable!"

Listening to these voices, Xu Fang always had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had returned to Bo City. Could it be that all the Hunter Alliances in the world have this style?

His goal was to make a quick buck, but the bank cards damaged by the train explosion couldn't be replaced in a week, far less efficient than buying their financial products.

The Hunter Alliance is his best choice.

In the hall, mages waiting to join the team lined up, holding their resumes, which listed their joining date, bounty success rate, and the level of demons they had killed!

Xu Fang also asked the front desk for a ticket.

Unlike Bo City, there are no high school teachers here to constantly instruct him on the distribution and weaknesses of the local demons. Xu Fang really needs to find a reliable team.

After filling it out, he looked around the lobby and quickly found his target.

Flying Tigers, you're the one!
