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

Chapter 71 Xu Fang: Intermediate Level is Okay

Look closely, this man's name is Mu Chuan.

Just now, he came here in a rage to seek revenge, but was ignored by everyone. They would rather pay attention to Zhao Kunsan, that trash, than look at him, the eldest young master of the Mu family.

"I'll fuck you..."

Mu Chuan's voice stopped abruptly, his mouth wide open, a wisp of saliva hanging in mid-air, frozen into an icicle, a look that was both disgusting and comical.

"Finally, it's quieter." Xu Fang clapped his hands, took out his phone to check the time, and said, "It's almost noon. Let's go eat first, see you in a few days."

No one responded. Mu Bai and Zhao Kun stood there blankly, as if they were the ones who were frozen in place.

Only after Xu Fang and the other man had walked far away did Mu Chuan break free from the ice and curse, "You, Mu Bai, did you ambush me...?"

"Shut up!" Mu Bai growled.

Mu Chuan instinctively flinched, and by the time he came to his senses and wanted to retort, Mu Bai had already strode towards Mu Family Village.

"Rebellion! Rebellion! The Mu family's lackeys have turned against their master!"

······

At noon, in an authentic Fujian cuisine restaurant, Xu Fang, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou sat at one table, while Jiang Shaoxu and Ye Xinxia sat on the other, the two girls chatting and laughing together.

"Brother Fang, is she your girlfriend?"

Zhang Xiaohou lowered his voice, his tone filled with envy.

Xu Fang smiled and asked, "Do you think the two of us are a good match?"

Zhang Xiaohou replied without hesitation, "It has to be a good match! You two are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, even your hairstyles are matching. You look so well-matched standing together!"

Across from her, Jiang Shaoxu's lips curved into a smile, and Ye Xinxia chuckled, "Is Sister Jiang very happy?"

"Really? I don't think so." Jiang Shaoxu stubbornly insisted, looking at Ye Xinxia's barely suppressed smile, and said with embarrassment and annoyance, "Adult matters are none of a child's business."

Mo Fan asked, "Yellow Hair, how's your cultivation level now?"

"How dare you mention the word 'cultivation' in front of our Great Mo Fan?" Xu Fang circulated his thoughts: "Come, let me see."

Mo Fan was caught off guard and felt Xu Fang's thoughts wandering aimlessly in his mental world. This kind of mental probing was not harmful, unless it was a mind-based or curse-based mage.

In Mo Fan's spiritual world, two stardusts float, one fire-type and one lightning-type, one scorching and one violent, both reaching the level of the initial third stage.

"You little rascal, let me see what you can do!"

Mo Fan also used his mind to detect a nebula, but was driven out as soon as he did.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mo Fan was very unhappy. That damn blond guy had seen all of me naked, and now he wouldn't let me look back?

"It's not my fault, it's fully automatic." Xu Fang shrugged.

Since his sparring session with Ai Jiangtu, Xu Fang has focused his cultivation on mental strength for the entire year.

According to the standards published by the Magic Associations of the Five Continents, spiritual cultivation is divided into nine realms. The first to third realms are called minor realms, the fourth to sixth realms are intermediate realms, and the sixth to ninth realms are major realms.

These correspond to the Spirit Seed, Soul Seed, and Celestial Seed of elemental magic. Most mages, even after a lifetime of effort, are lucky if they can advance to the second realm.

Ai Jiangtu should be between the third and fourth realms. He broke through to the fourth realm before the National Government, and his strength increased dramatically.

Jiang Shaoxu had only recently entered the third realm, and his combat power had greatly improved since the two first met.

Xu Fang, after a full year of tempering, successfully broke through to the second realm of mental strength, becoming on par with some ordinary high-level mages.

Even a mental mage would have to put in some effort to cast mental magic on him if they were prepared, let alone Mo Fan in his current state.

"Wait!"

Mo Fan suddenly realized what he had just seen, and his mind recalled what he had just seen.

It was not a tiny speck of dust like myself, but a vast cluster of stars, shining brightly and clearly visible in the boundless spiritual universe.

"Nebula! You're a mid-level mage!?"

Upon hearing this, the entire table fell silent. Zhang Xiaohou and Ye Xinxia looked at Xu Fang in astonishment, clearly stunned by the news.

Xu Fang said, "Why are you making such a fuss? Let's eat, it's getting cold."

"How could anyone possibly eat that?!" Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed. "Brother Fang, you're amazing! You broke through to the intermediate level at only eighteen!"

"Actually, the intermediate stage isn't as good as you guys imagine," Xu Fang said modestly. "At the time, I was a bit conflicted. Breaking through would consume too many resources and leave me exhausted with too many star fragments. But if I didn't break through, the intermediate stage was still alright."

Everyone: "..."

creak creak!

My fist hardened. Damn it, this guy's so arrogant. Even if he's a mid-level mage, I still want to beat him up!

······

After lunch, Jiang Shaoxu pushed Ye Xinxia back to rest, and Zhang Xiaohou also received a phone call and left in a hurry.

"So they went on a date? Monkey is still talking to He Yu, isn't he?" Xu Fang laughed.

"Watching them date is driving me crazy; they haven't even dared to hold hands for so long." Mo Fan curled his lip, picked up an empty wine bottle and shook it: "Not enough? Shall we go for a second round?"

"Screw you! All you think about are street food stalls and karaoke bars. Nothing beats fighting monsters! We're mages, for crying out loud!"

Provoked by Xu Fang, Mo Fan slammed his hand on the table: "Fine, I'll go! Do you think I, Mo Fan, would back down?"

In terms of cultivation alone, Mo Fan admits he is inferior to Xu Fang, this freak, but in actual combat, he may not necessarily lose!

Fan Mo's name is well-known throughout Bo City, and many demon-hunting teams outside the city have extended olive branches to him!

Without hesitation, the two put down their chopsticks and headed straight for the Hunter's Alliance.

"This one will do." Xu Fang pointed to one of the tasks in the task list. Mo Fan frowned: "The case of the missing schoolgirl?"

He knew about the case; the missing person was a girl named Lin Yun'er, who was Xin Xia's classmate.

On the day he disappeared, Lin Yun'er was in the school library, and the school's surveillance cameras failed to capture his image; it was as if he had vanished into thin air.

At that time, his city's monster-hunting team received this mission, and eventually, together with Xu Dahuang and others, they killed a giant-eyed blood rat in the school cafeteria.

Logically speaking, this case should have been closed.

However, Lin Yun'er's older sister, Lin Yuxin, the guardian of the Holy Spring in Bocheng, refused to accept reality because she could not find Lin Yun'er's body.

The bounty for the mission has been raised time and time again, and now it has reached one million.

"Yellow Hair, I admit the bounty for this mission is very high, so high that even I'm tempted, but it's impossible to complete," Mo Fan advised. "A year has passed; Lin Yun'er can't possibly still be alive."

"I know." Xu Fang swiped his finger. "But look at the notes for this mission."

Following the quest is a hand-drawn map, which Lin Yuxin created during her adventure into the underground world of the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat.

"We can't bring back the dead, but killing more demons can at least save more Lin Yun'er's lives," Xu Fang said. "If you only care about the bounty and the mission completion rate, can you still be considered a hunter mage?"

Mo Fan nodded emphatically: "That makes sense!"

Looking at his earnest and energetic demeanor, Xu Fang felt a slight sense of embarrassment.

—Actually, he didn't explain the deepest reason. The reason he chose this task was simply for the sake of "reasoning".

Only by choosing this task can one "reasonably" discover traces of the theft of the Sacred Spring, then "reasonably" suspect human involvement, and "reasonably" report it to Zhan Kong.

Given his current talent and status, Zhan Kong would "reasonably" believe his own speculation and take precautions in advance.

In the face of the disaster in Bocheng, Xu Fang would do everything within his power to save as much as he could.

Mo Fan, within this seemingly logical chain of plans, plays the role of an NPC (NPC, a tool or NPC).

"Mr. Fan Mo, and Mr. Zhang San, your selected tasks have been registered. We wish you a successful and safe completion!"

The receptionist's voice was filled with admiration, and her cheeks were flushed when she looked at Xu Fang.

Clearly, Xu Fang's impassioned speech had not only won over Mo Fan, but also this young lady...
