Chen Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and casually stuck his sword into the ground beside him. Instead of answering directly, he smiled and asked, "Oh? Wasn't I dangerous in your eyes before?"
In fact, he certainly knew where Badigondi's sudden sense of danger came from.
The reason lies in the S-level skill [Blessing of the Sword Master] given to him by the brave Epona - when he attacks with the sword, it will be accompanied by the characteristic of "true damage", which can ignore all defenses, resistances and even the conceptual "immortality" attributes, and directly destroy the source of the target's existence!
In short, Chen Ming is now able to kill those things that are theoretically "unkillable"...
Chapter 199: Daily Life at Magic University
As the Undead Demon King, Badigondi is not the top in World No. 2 in terms of combat power - he needs to wear the Fighting God Armor to be ranked among the seven great powers as the Fighting God.
But in terms of survivability, it is definitely the best and can be called an unsolvable BUG!
In the original work, Badigondi once represented the conservative faction of the demon clan and challenged the demon god Laplace. Although he was defeated in one blow, not even a trace of residue was left.
The aftermath of the attack opened a large hole in the continent, which became the Lingus Sea! (In the original novel, this sea is roughly the same size as Earth's Pacific Ocean!)
However, it was this complete "erasure of existence" that allowed Badigondi to be reborn from nothingness in just over a decade!
This regenerative ability that goes beyond the concept of "rebirth by a drop of blood" makes him "immortal" in World No. 2, and almost no one can completely destroy him.
Unfortunately, such abnormal survivability is like meeting its destined nemesis in the face of the true damage of [Sword Saint's Blessing]!
Hearing Chen Ming's question, Badigondi seemed to have encountered an extremely interesting puzzle. His six arms gestured excitedly, and his voice was loud and frank: "Danger? Hahaha! Before, your magic power was as vast as the sea of stars. With a wave of your hand, you indeed possessed the power to easily destroy a world. This power itself is enough to be awe-inspiring. But that kind of danger is 'understandable' and 'manageable' to me! Even if you can destroy me to ashes, it will only put me into a long slumber. I will return one day. But now..."
As he spoke, a rare solemnity emerged on the Undead Demon King's obsidian face. "I sense a completely different meaning of 'end.' It's as if your sword can reach a source that even the demon god cannot! It's a kind of... icy edge that can truly reduce me to nothingness!"
Chen Ming secretly praised in his heart: A very accurate judgment!
He is worthy of the title of "Wise Demon King" and is recognized as the most intelligent among all known demon kings!
After just a moment of observation, he had keenly sensed the danger of real harm! This insight truly lived up to the name of wisdom.
Chen Ming nodded calmly: "Yes, I have indeed awakened a new power. But I am still myself. The increase in power will not change my essence, nor will it become a reason for me to destroy this world."
"Huhahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Badigondi burst into his signature hearty laughter. "That's right, destroying the world is pointless for you! After all, even that demon god Laplace isn't as strong as you, yet he's madly pursuing the extermination of humanity, even going so far as to unleash a bloody war between humans and demons... In comparison, with your strength, if you truly harbored a desire for destruction, the world would have been reduced to rubble long ago. Why wait until today?"
Chen Ming noticed that the Undead Demon King seemed to like comparing him with the legendary demon god Laplace.
Perhaps it's because they both share a common trait of immense magical power? Furthermore, Chen Ming's magical power is even a thousand times stronger than Laplace's, which is why the conservative demon king is wary...
"Master Demon King," Chen Ming asked with a hint of curiosity, "From your tone, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with Laplace? Isn't he the Demon God of your demon clan?"
"You can call me Buddy. As long as someone is stronger than me, I will allow them to call me by that name."
After correcting Chen Ming's address, Badigandi finally answered his question:
"Because I, as a conservative Demon King, have different philosophies from his, we had a huge fight... He completely annihilated my body with a single blow, leaving not even a speck of dust behind! It took me ages to revive! I thought I was dead! Hahahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't understand the Demon King's train of thought - being killed instantly by the opponent, this didn't seem like a glorious achievement worth laughing about, right?
However, perhaps for the Demon King of this world, surviving a battle with the fourth-ranked Demon God of the Seven Great Powers is enough to be proud of.
After Badigondi finished laughing, he asked seriously, "If it's not to destroy the world, then what do you plan to do by becoming stronger?"
This question made Chen Ming slightly stunned.
His goal now is clear and direct: to capture a beautiful girl who meets the requirements, obtain the power of pleasure, and thus improve his own strength.
As for the ultimate goal after the power is increased?
Chen Ming hadn't really thought about it carefully—after all, he wasn't planning on ruling the world, nor was he planning on destroying it! These were all boring to him.
What he really wanted to do, was actually already being done. That was...
“Enjoy life.”
Chen Ming's answer was concise and powerful, a gentle and satisfied smile appearing on his face. "Strong strength can better protect everything I cherish—my home, my woman, and the peace and joy I choose. This power is a shield, not a spear."
“Huhahaha!”
Badigondi's laughter echoed through the courtyard once more, brimming with recognition. "Brilliant! Brilliant! Your thoughts coincide with mine... I know too many people obsessed with the pursuit of pure power and fame. Without exception, they are all twisted, pathetic creatures who don't understand the true meaning of life!"
As he spoke, the Undead Demon King seemed to recall something, his tone tinged with the teasing of an elder. "Especially my nephew. When he was young, he was also a reckless man who only knew how to be violent and aggressive. Although he's become more mellow now, he still keeps clamoring about becoming the 'world's strongest hero' before he dies... He's truly stubborn! There are clearly many things in this world that are a thousand times more important than that empty term 'strongest'!"
"Oh? For example?" Chen Ming asked with interest.
A mischievous "you know what I mean" expression flashed across Badigondi's face, his eyes gleaming with wisdom (or was it gossip?), and he proudly exclaimed, "For example, women! Beautiful, gentle, or energetic women! Enjoying the bond and pleasure with them is the true symphony of life! Don't you understand this very well? Hahaha!"
After leaving Chen Ming speechless with this "profound remark", Badigandi let out a series of even louder laughs, and his huge figure rose into the air.
As he flew towards the Magic University, he muttered to himself:
"It seems Chishilika's worries are unnecessary... This human has many women and craves more... Well, that's great! How could someone with so many beautiful ties want to destroy the world that holds them all? I must quickly write a letter to Chishilika and explain..."
Chen Ming looked at the rapidly receding six-armed figure with a mixture of laughter and tears, then shook his head. The logic of this wise demon king was sometimes truly... unique.
After the early morning interlude, the mansion returned to its peaceful daily routine.
Chen Ming returned to the warm restaurant and shared breakfast with his family who had been waiting for him.
Jin Bisha was quietly setting the table, Luo Qixi was eating elegantly while flipping through her magic notes, Yin Yue had a lazy and noble air, and the lively beast sisters Linia and Plucena were whispering something, occasionally looking at Chen Ming furtively... The dining table was filled with a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
As for the little girl Sylphiette, she is still being taken care of by her parents because she is too young.
After breakfast, the group of six went to the library of the Magic University as usual and sat down in their old seats.
Chen Ming was already halfway through learning the Celestial Language, thanks to Yin Yue, his companion, who inherited dragon blood and was born speaking the Celestial Language. Without her, his "walking dictionary," Chen Ming's learning of the Celestial Language would never have been so rapid.
After all, even Luo Qixi has not mastered this language, which shows how difficult it is.
With Chen Ming's current vocabulary of the divine language, he can already learn a few simple divine-level magic spells.
However, when he stepped into the threshold of the god-level magic palace, the first thing that greeted him was not the power to destroy the world, but a mountain of memories made up of long spells.
Most divine magic takes a long time to chant, often requiring accurate recitation of more than fifty sentences of complex divine language spells. Some more powerful spells even require reciting hundreds of sentences, or even the contents of an entire magic book!
This is not only a test of your understanding of magic, but also an extreme challenge to your memory.
Of course, there is also a trick: when casting a spell, just hold the thick magic book and read it word by word as if reciting scriptures.
But Chen Ming cannot be lazy, otherwise he will undoubtedly destroy his own skills - S-level skill [Multiple Chanting]!
The core advantage of this skill lies in its ability to construct and release multiple spells simultaneously and at high speed. If one were to distract themselves with flipping through the book to find the next spell while casting a divine spell, the terrifying efficiency advantage of [Multiple Chanting] would be completely lost.
He can't flip through hundreds of magic books at the same time. He doesn't have that many hands and eyes!
If Chen Ming wanted to fully unleash the potential of [Multiple Chanting], the only way was to engrave those complicated and lengthy mantras into his mind like a brand, so that the mantras would take shape in the blink of an eye.
His powerful mental strength did give him a memory ability far beyond that of ordinary people, but memorizing all the spells of divine magic was still an arduous process that required a lot of time and energy.
Chen Ming sometimes concentrated and recited silently, and sometimes frowned and thought.
This tedious feeling brought him back to his middle school days, recalling the fear of being forced to memorize the entire text, and the shame of standing at the door unable to do so. After all these years, it reappeared in this extraordinary way.
At present, the few god-level magics that Chen Mingsa has barely mastered are all carefully selected, the spells are relatively "short" (only about fifty sentences), and the vocabulary used is all entry-level within his grasp.
While he was immersed in learning the language of the gods and divine magic, the five companions around him never stopped and worked hard on their own paths.
Yin Yue curled up lazily in the window seat, the sunlight dancing on her golden hair through the stained glass.
As a being with dragon blood, her way of increasing strength is the most enviable mode for all strivers - just sleep, supplemented by the [Sun Fighting Qi] technique that Chen Ming shared with all the harem girls. The combination of the two has an outstanding effect.
Her main "effort" was to occasionally answer the difficult questions that Chen Ming encountered in learning the language of the gods. After all, this profound language was just an instinct engraved in her blood.
……
Jin Bisha has very little magic power in her body, not enough to cast magic, but she found a suitable path for herself in the library - making magic arrows.
She patiently and bit by bit poured her own trickling magic power into the specially crafted arrows, endowing them with powerful elemental powers.
This is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Making a qualified magic arrow often requires her to exhaust her magic power many times, and each time it is exhausted, it takes a long time to recover naturally.
However, Jin Bisha has her own "shortcut".
Whenever her magic power was exhausted, she would come to Chen Ming with a slightly blushing cheek.
"Ming, can you help me replenish my magic? Uh, I'm out of magic again."
"Are you making magic arrows again?"
"Yes, that's too mana-consuming. So, please give me some."
In fact, Chen Ming suspected that Jin Bisha was pretending to build a plank road while secretly crossing Chencang, and making magic arrows was just part of the game!
But Jin Bisha was very cute as she used this as an excuse to act coquettishly, so she just let her be.
Chen Ming looked around. They were sitting in the deepest part of the library, with bookshelves blocking their view. Kissing shouldn't be a problem—in the university library of the main world, couples could be seen embracing and kissing each other everywhere...
After confirming the environment was safe, a long kiss of "replenishing magic" followed. Actually, there was a faster way to inject magic, but that method was only suitable for use in the bedroom...
After replenishing her magic power, Jin Bisha continued to make magic arrows with an intoxicated look on her face.
……
Luo Qixi has been promoted to the Water Saint level magician and is working towards the King level.
The experience of teaching Chen Ming basic magic allowed her to re-examine and reorganize her own magic system, which benefited her a lot.
And having Chen Ming, a seemingly unattainable peak, by her side as her idol, completely inspired her inner fighting spirit, and she guarded against arrogance and impatience, and practiced even harder than in the original novel.
Her progress is naturally much faster than her original destiny.
……
As for the pair of inseparable beast princesses, they also divided the work and cooperated in their studies.
The dog-eared girl Plucena majored in healing magic, while the cat-eared girl Linia focused on attacking magic.
Although Plucena Ping usually looks lazy, she studies seriously while chewing on some jerky.
However, after eating the various delicious meats that Chen Ming materialized, she found that she gradually lost interest in the dried meat that she brought from her hometown, which she used to like very much.
After a few bites, she found the taste was like chewing wax. She rolled her eyes and quietly slipped over to Chen Ming, who was reciting a spell silently. She put on a flattering smile on her face and wagged her tail happily:
"Boss, boss! If it's you, Plucena is willing to give you the most important thing!"
As she spoke, she handed the half-eaten piece of dried meat that still had teeth marks on it to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming glanced at her, but didn't look down on her. He took it and ate it as a snack.
Seeing how he didn't mind at all, Plucena smiled happily at first, then scratched her head a little embarrassedly, a trace of guilt appearing on her face...
