Chapter 36: Disaster is Approaching

……

At the school gate.

Lv Cheng walked away quickly, not because Mo Fan had brought up the past, but because he sensed a dangerous aura.

He was now half-Demon and also a dragon; his soul was stronger than before, and his Spiritual Power was naturally stronger as well.

Originally, he could only sense vague auras, but now, he could remember the auras he had once come into contact with.

"Long time no see." Ye E, played by Ye Chang, was dressed in a light-colored long dress, standing quietly by the roadside. Seeing Lv Cheng come out, she walked up to him enthusiastically.

"You..." Lv Cheng looked strange.

"Something up?"

He hadn't seen Ye Chang for over a year; ever since that night, Ye Chang's aura had never appeared near him again.

After all, Salang was very busy.

They only occasionally contacted each other by phone.

"I heard you're graduating. Do you have any plans for what's next?" Ye Chang asked.

"Not sure yet." Lv Cheng shook his head.

In fact, last year, the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, the Pearl Magic Academy, and a bunch of other magic academies had already sent him special recruitment invitations, and several teachers from their admissions offices had even come in person.

According to Tang Yue, she wasn't sure about the other magic academies, but the Imperial Capital Magic Academy and the Pearl Magic Academy found it inconvenient to directly snatch people, which was why they had been waiting.

An Initial Stage Summoning Mage bringing out a Sub-dragon—people in a small place like Bo City focused mainly on the Sub-dragon, as it made him invincible against anyone below a High-level Mage.

However, those noble families and magic academies were focused on his Spiritual Power!

The strength of the Summoning Element, or rather Dimensional Magic, basically depended on the strength of one's Spiritual Power; the stronger the Spiritual Power, the more powerful the creature one could summon.

In the eyes of the world, there was only one place in the Dimension Space where Sub-dragons existed, a place so extremely dangerous that only a Super-level Summoning Mage could reach it—the Dragon Valley of Ten Thousand!

For an Initial Stage Mage to reach a dimensional creature that only a Super-level Mage could touch, and to be able to keep the summoned Sub-dragon stably present for a long time, not only showed that his Summoning Element talent was extremely special, but also that his Spiritual Power talent was terrifyingly immense!

But in fact, this was a misunderstanding.

His Dimensional Magic could not connect to the Dimension Space, and Xiaotian did not come from any Dragon Valley of Ten Thousand; his Dimensional Magic could only lead to Hell!

Of course, his Spiritual Power talent was indeed powerful. Last year, shortly after Shendu showed his hand, his Summoning Element successfully broke through to the Intermediate stage, and then, his Psychic element magic awakened on its own.

Those top-tier institutions and noble families valued his Spiritual Power talent more. As for the Sub-dragon, although rare, it could not be controlled by anyone other than him, the Summoning Mage himself, and the resources required for a Sub-dragon to grow were terrifying. Before figuring out his situation, those people would not invest easily.

"If you're still not sure, I'll recommend a place to you." Ye Chang took an invitation out of her bag.

"Temple Magic Academy..." Lv Cheng looked strange.

"Do you think that's appropriate?"

Domestic universities were all thinking about how to pull him in, and yet he would turn around and go to a foreign magic academy; what would that count as?

"What's inappropriate about it? Didn't you awaken Psychic element magic? The Temple Magic Academy's attainments in White Magic like the Psychic element are the best in the world, bar none," Ye Chang said.

She had too many actions coming up within the country, and the Black Vatican was not a monolith; it was easy for things to go wrong, so leaving the country was the safest option for Lv Cheng.

Originally, she had intended to send Lv Cheng to the European Magic Academy; after all, his Sub-dragon Summoned Beast could give him a decent status there, but after thinking about it, Greece was more suitable.

"Thank you for your kindness." Lv Cheng returned the invitation to Ye Chang.

For a Red Cardinal of the Black Vatican, getting him an admission invitation to the Temple Magic Academy was indeed not a difficult task.

But he didn't intend to leave the country. First, there was the upcoming Bo City Blood Disaster, where he needed to experiment with some powers, and then, the Ancient Capital Catastrophe, the Undead Army, and the soul of the Ancient King!

He needed to prepare for his upcoming feeding.

"Why?" Ye Chang looked puzzled.

"I still want to participate in the National Team Competition in a few years and win glory for the country. If you make me run off to someone else's turf, then when the time comes..." Lv Cheng smiled and shook his head.

Although in this world, due to the invasion of demons, there wasn't the kind of talk about traitors at every turn like in his previous life, as a vulnerable group, humanity could be called a community of shared destiny most of the time.

However, things like the National Team Competition had a huge impact.

In a sense, this was also a fairly harmonious "arms race" between human nations.

Even as a vulnerable group in the demon war, humanity could never be a monolith; internal strife and external threats would always exist.

"The National Team Competition..." Ye Chang nodded.

She had overlooked this point; Lv Cheng was, after all, still a child, and naturally, he would be looking forward to such things.

Moreover, Lv Cheng had already reached the Intermediate Mage level last year; she could sense it, and the child's current Psychic element magic cultivation had even caught up.

At this age, being an Intermediate Mage in two elements, even among the children of noble families who possessed massive resources, such a genius rarely appeared.

And Lv Cheng hadn't used anything; he had cultivated normally!

With this kind of talent, he could enter either of the two top domestic institutions as he pleased.

"If you are to stay in the country, I suggest you go to Pearl," Ye Chang said.

"The academic factionalism at the Imperial Capital is quite serious, and it's also a high-pressure zone occupied by noble families. With your talent, it will bring you a lot of trouble."

Lv Cheng nodded, "That's what I think too."

"Then when do you plan to leave?" Ye Chang asked.

The experiment for the Frenzied Potion was almost ready. Although with Lv Cheng's ability as an Intermediate Mage, protecting himself in this experiment wasn't a problem, she couldn't ensure that the people under the Black Vatican would listen.

If someone were to act against Lv Cheng without authorization, she wouldn't be able to intervene.

After all, there were many moles in the Black Vatican.

Any internal personnel of the Black Vatican in Bo City who knew she had been in contact with Lv Cheng had already been dealt with by her.

She couldn't openly stop people below from acting against Lv Cheng; otherwise, the relationship between this child and her would be self-incriminating.

Lv Cheng was still young and weak, and for the time being, she didn't want Lv Cheng to be associated with the Black Vatican, so she couldn't have too much contact with the child.

Therefore, she still hoped that Lv Cheng could leave this city before the experiment began.

"In a while." Lv Cheng looked up.

Some time ago, he had pulled Ximu out of Hell, and he had also obtained the Sky Demon Qi from Ximu.

The power to control the weather!

He wanted to test whose priority was higher: this power or the Sufferer?

In essence, Ximu's power should have a higher priority.

However, Ximu is still very weak right now; just like Shendu, after leaving Hell, Ximu's power has also been restricted.

And Wu Ku is a Super Level Water Element Sufferer, so the gap between them is too large.

Therefore, as for whose priority is specifically higher, it still needs to be tested in practice.

Additionally, he needs to test to what extent he can currently unleash the power of a Demon.
