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

Chapter 68 Don't you dare bully my daughter!

Like the spiritual ripples of the Mind System, the Haze of Fear targets the spiritual world of a mage.

The difference lies in Lingyi's emphasis on psychological impact, manipulating emotions to make the victim feel frustrated, angry, or relaxed...

The haze of fear is different.

Belonging to the category of dark magic, it is as sinister as its name suggests, capable of excavating and amplifying the fears within a person's heart.

The strongest can even plunge people into a nightmare dream world.

Ai Jiangtu is undoubtedly a strong person.

Before Xu Fang's eyes appeared a series of chaotic and disordered images.

In the horde of undead, he was crushed at the very bottom by the undead, his body being devoured by countless gigantic skulls.

When the demons attacked the city, their magical energy was exhausted, and they were cruelly torn apart by the one-eyed demon wolf. Even the giant-eyed blood rats shared the scraps.

If Xu Fang could accept all of this, what happened next shocked him.

In a hazy, unfamiliar place shrouded in mist, strange creatures wandered about carrying a corpse.

Xu Fang recognized the corpse; it was none other than Lin Jiaming, the captain of the Demon Slayer Squad, who had once recruited him!

Before he could take a closer look, the scene shifted again.

That familiar yet unfamiliar ancient battlefield, the general in battle robes exactly like Xu Fang's...

Xu Fang's eyes surged with horror, the light emanating from his pupils layer by layer, turning into a dazzling gold.

"Well!"

Ai Jiangtu groaned and staggered back several steps, blood seeping from his eyes and nostrils.

"Brother Ai!"

"Old Ai!"

"elder brother!"

Everyone panicked, but Ai Jiangtu waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, though his eyes never left Xu Fang.

The gold in Xu Fang's eyes gradually faded, turning into familiar black eyes.

Unlike the last time when he destroyed the Yin soldiers who were using the passage, Xu Fang's current state came on quickly and went away just as fast.

Perhaps it's because Ai Jiangtu's fear wasn't aimed at taking his life?

Xu Fang was completely baffled by these secrets. But now was clearly not the time to delve into them.

Ai Jiangtu suffered a backlash; take advantage of his weakness and kill him!

"A solar halo!"

Freeze instantly!

Ai Jiangtu felt the temperature plummet, and his hands, which were drawing the star map, almost froze.

"Chains of Ice!"

Four chains attacked from four directions. Within the range of the sun halo's spell, the ice chains were more powerful.

If it were someone else, this battle would already be over.

But he was Ai Jiangtu after all. Even when forced to this point, he still took the initiative to shatter the half-drawn star map and draw away the magic energy that was about to dissipate.

"Mind Control - Begone!"

Only one of the ice chains broke; the other three had already wrapped around his body like venomous snakes.

The ice flashed, its tip hovering before Ai Jiangtu's throat.

"You won."

Ai Jiangtu reluctantly lowered his neck, which was stiff from the cold, looked at the sharp chains, then looked at Xu Fang and asked earnestly, "Can you tell me how you broke through my fog of fear just now?"

"No comment," Xu Fang said.

"Yes, I was being presumptuous."

Ai Jiangtu did not press the matter further; everyone has their own secrets, and it would be impolite to pry.

"elder brother!"

Ai Tutu jumped onto the stage, and the worry on her little face made Ai Jiangtu feel much better.

"I'm fine." Ai Jiangtu activated his spatial magic, squeezing and shattering the solid ice.

"Xu Fang!" Jiang Shaoxu helped Xu Fang up. Xu Fang was fine originally, but with her help, he swayed and started to enjoy the treatment of a patient.

The other men were so angry they were ready to punch him.

"He was faking it, Jiang the Fox, he was faking it!" Guan Yu and Jiang Yu were heartbroken.

Tang Yue couldn't stand the noise anymore: "So annoying! Do you think people can't tell?"

The two were taken aback and subconsciously looked at Jiang Shaoxu, only to find that the girl had a smile on her lips and her cheeks were slightly flushed. When Xu Fang pressed her close, she would playfully pinch her.

Damn it!!!

Are you flirting?

The clown is actually myself!?

······

The battle against Ai Jiangtu fully exposed Xu Fang's weaknesses.

Actually, this had already happened before in Gaoling when dealing with the Yin soldiers who were using the road. At that time, Xu Fang was only at the initial stage and fell into the trap of the general-level Yin soldiers, so he didn't take it seriously.

This time it won't work.

If there were no mysterious mental backlash, Xu Fang would have to reveal his final trump card even if he won. For example, his fully charged high-temperature core, his full-power ghost fire, or his Ice and Snow Paradise domain.

Moreover, this was a one-on-one situation. If Ai Jiangtu had accomplices who could take advantage of Xu Fang's mental confusion to deliver a fatal blow, Xu Fang would definitely be finished.

As a mage determined to disgust all his opponents, Xu Fang would never allow himself to be restrained in any aspect!

Forging one's mental strength is imperative.

The premier holy site for cultivating spiritual power is undoubtedly the Parthenon, one of the world's eight major magical powers, comparable to the magic associations of the five continents.

But Xu Fang rejected this option without hesitation.

It's too chaotic there.

The Parthenon, revered for its goddesses, has passed down the spirit of the Parthenon through generations.

Before the next generation of goddesses could be chosen, all twelve candidates were murdered, plunging the entire temple into chaos.

Why not stay in China and instead go to foreign countries to scheme against each other, be forced to take sides, and end up dying far from home?

—More importantly, Xu Fang didn't want to be a Runren, even though the Parthenon touted itself as an international power.

The chaos caused by the Chinese sea monsters resulted in so many deaths and injuries, and resources were extremely scarce, yet this holy land of white magic did not offer any assistance.

"My spiritual level is low right now, so there's no need for me to go to any holy sites. I should focus on building a solid foundation first."

You should find a spiritual master to gradually apply appropriate mental pressure to you, thereby tempering your spiritual strength.

After much thought, Xu Fang finally came up with a suitable candidate: Jiang Shaoxu.

You demon, I need your help in my cultivation!

Jiang Shaoxu naturally had no objection to this, but Jiang Chong had a lot to say.

As an old father, seeing his beautiful daughter spending all her time with a young lad, the whole Forbidden City was buzzing with rumors that General Jiang was looking for a son-in-law.

hateful!

Can't you be a little more low-key?

He's been through that age himself, and he knows that young people at that age are full of boundless energy and thirst for knowledge, so much so that even steel plates tremble. What if something goes wrong if they're always sticking together?

Not to mention, Xu Fang's birthday is in a few days.

What if his daughter was tricked by this boy and tied a bow around her waist late at night, saying something like "Today's gift is me"... Jiang Chong was too embarrassed to even think about it!

Summoning Xu Fang, Jiang Chong said sternly, "You and A-Xu have been getting too close lately. If you need to cultivate, the Forbidden Army has other mental mage masters."

"That won't do!"

Xu Fang retorted righteously, "Every military mages is an extremely important resource. How can you waste them on me for personal matters?"

「···」

Damn, that's some serious enlightenment. I'm speechless.

After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "But Ah Xu..."

"She's not a military mage, and using mental techniques to aid my cultivation also significantly enhances her spiritual power." Xu Fang hesitated for a moment: "Grand Commander, you wouldn't happen to be—or should I leave?"

go?

If he could, Jiang Chong would point to the door and tell him to get lost and go away. He was a dignified military commander who had seen plenty of geniuses!

Permission to release...

The words rolled around in his throat, but Jiang Chong just couldn't say them.

"That's enough."

"Do whatever you want!"

"But I must warn you, kid, don't you dare harm my daughter, don't let her stay overnight, and she must be home by nine o'clock tonight!"

His words were firm, but somehow, they carried an undercurrent of humility.

Xu Fang patted his chest: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, don't you trust my character? I'm not that kind of person!"

Jiang Chong opened his mouth, but what could he say?
