Chapter 54: Job Application

……

Returning to the Qingtian Hunting Office.

"Did they leave anything for you?" Bao Laotou asked.

Lv Cheng shrugged, "No."

"Nothing at all?" Bao Laotou was somewhat skeptical.

"Really, nothing at all." Lv Cheng was speechless for a moment.

If his parents had truly left him anything good, would he have lived so frugally all these years?

As for Ye Chang's money, he didn't dare use it at all until he confirmed there was nothing wrong with it.

The money his parents left him didn't allow for squandering.

"Think carefully, could there be anything you missed?" Bao Laotou said.

"Missed?" Lv Cheng thought carefully, then pulled a lady's bracelet out of his pocket.

"It couldn't be this, could it? When I was little, my mom told me this was for me to give to my wife in the future."

Lingling looked strange, "This is a Space Bracelet, right?"

Lv Cheng was stunned, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Bao Laotou nodded.

"And this thing has been set with a space seal and a psychic imprint; you can only sense the imprint to unlock it after your Space Element reaches the High-level."

"High-level?" Lv Cheng looked strange.

"Did she never consider that I might not live to reach the High-level?"

Bao Laotou looked strange, "Then what are you now?"

"……"

……

Several months later, Pearl Institute.

Leng Qing, finally having some free time, brought Lv Cheng to apply for a position.

"Are you sure you don't want to practice for a while longer?" Leng Qing said.

The difficulty of High-level Magic is much greater than Intermediate Magic; with only a few months of practice, I'm afraid you can't even cast it stably yet, right?

"It's about enough." Lv Cheng said.

"I want to take advantage of the Sanbu Tower to see if I can push both my Summoning Element and Psychic Element up."

And while I'm at it, accelerate the cultivation of my Space Element to see what my mom left for me.

The seal on the Space Bracelet cannot be forced open, otherwise the object will shatter, and if the space breaks, the things inside will also be lost; by then, there's no telling where they might fall.

Leng Qing's eye twitched, "Where did you get the money to buy a Galaxy Pulse?"

Since joining the Qingtian Hunting Office, Lv Cheng had hardly carried out any missions.

"I'm living off a rich woman." Lv Cheng shrugged.

"If Tang Yue won't keep me, then naturally I have to find someone willing to keep me."

Leng Qing looked strange, "You really joined the Mu family?"

Tang Yue had complained to her about Lv Cheng before; this kid really dared to make a move!

Even the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Nujiao, had been ruined by him.

"Not her, it's another rich woman." Lv Cheng said.

A while ago, Ye Chang came to the Magic City to find him and brought him three Galaxy Pulses and a Mind Stone.

Galaxy Pulses are fine; you can buy them if you have money, but this Mind Stone is priceless and unavailable; even with money, you can't buy it. Even for Ye Chang, she must have spent a great deal of effort to get it for him.

Therefore, he really doesn't know how to face Ye Xinxia anymore.

Actually, I've always thought of you as a daughter?

"Another one?" Leng Qing's eye twitched slightly.

"How many are you living off of?"

"Not many, currently..." Lv Cheng paused.

Ye Chang is one, Mu Nujiao counts as half, Tang Yue also counts as half, and Ye Xinxia counts as a hidden rich woman—after all, the future Parthenon will be hers—but for now...

Alright, he actually only lived off two rich women!

"Counting you, three." Lv Cheng said.

If he lived off Leng Qing, his relationship with Bao Laotou would be even more solid!

One must have multiple preparations for everything; in case something goes wrong with the Demon side in the future, one still needs to have some connections on the human side.

He insisted on coming to the Magic City not only because the Imperial Capital was troublesome and he disliked Song He, but mainly because he was aiming for Dean and Bao Laotou.

Leng Qing's expression froze, "Don't you dare have designs on me."

"Why?" Lv Cheng asked in confusion.

"Could it be that you like women?"

Leng Qing was speechless, "Tang Yue is my best friend."

Her best friend's little boyfriend was entrusted to her care, and they ended up together; how was she supposed to face Tang Yue?

Just thinking about it was awkward, so, no!

"Oh." Lv Cheng nodded.

"If you can't..."

"Then I see Lingling is also quite charming..."

Leng Qing's eyes narrowed, "Lingling isn't even twelve yet."

"You brat, you want to go in, right?"

"What kind of person do you take me for?" Lv Cheng was full of Righteous Qi.

"I'm not going in!"

"..."

Bang!

Pearl Institute, training ground.

"Hehe, you must be Lv Cheng."

Led by Dean Xiao, several department heads from the main campus of Pearl Institute had also come to evaluate this Special Teacher.

After all, an eighteen-year-old High-level Mage was something everyone was looking forward to.

"Yes." Lv Cheng, following behind Leng Qing, nodded somewhat gloomily.

"You... uh, what happened to your eyes?" Dean Xiao asked in confusion.

Why did it look like he had been beaten up?

"I..." Lv Cheng glanced at the displeased-looking Leng Qing.

"While I was cultivating last night, my Qi flow went awry, and I accidentally strained my eyes."

"Qi flow?" Dean Xiao was taken aback, then looked at the atmosphere between Leng Qing and Lv Cheng, his expression immediately turning subtle.

He understood.

"Ahem, Leng Qing should have already told you the requirements, right?" Dean Xiao did not dwell on the matter.

"Yes." Lv Cheng nodded.

Pearl Institute placed the greatest emphasis on practical combat ability, and since a Special Teacher had to face challenges from a crowd of students, their practical combat ability naturally could not be weak.

Originally, the testing of Special Teachers was the responsibility of the department heads, but a few years ago, an accident occurred: a Special Teacher was beaten up by a student inside the school!

It wasn't even a group fight; it was a one-on-one!

Beaten down by a student in a one-on-one.

Although the person who stepped onto the field at the time was a student about to graduate, for a combat teacher to actually be beaten down by a student—this kind of thing could actually be classified as a teaching accident.

Since then, the recruitment of Special Teachers had changed to Dean Xiao testing them personally, and the requirements naturally became higher.

It was also for this reason that Pearl Institute had not had a Special Teacher for several years.

"Then let's begin." Dean Xiao led Lv Cheng to the center of the training ground.

"Don't think about holding back; my test won't be lenient."

He couldn't let a repeat of that incident where a teacher was beaten down by a student happen again; back then, Pearl had been mocked by Imperial Capital Institute for a very long time!

"Yes." Lv Cheng nodded and went all out, the violent Fire Element Star River energy surging, instantly turning the entire training ground into a high-temperature furnace.

"How long have you been at the High-level?" Dean Xiao asked.

To use a Domain so skillfully—even the Fire Element department head Wei Rong couldn't compare to this kid.

"A few months, I suppose." Lv Cheng tried to break through Dean Xiao's Water Element shield.

Hmm, couldn't get in at all.

Mind Element, Mental Shock!

Hmm, couldn't shake him at all.

Space Element...

Hmm, even more useless.

Alright, a High-level trying to take on a Forbidden Curse was purely a pipe dream.

However, since Dean Xiao didn't call a stop, Lv Cheng just treated it as skill training.

Fire Element, Mind Element, Space Element, bombarding in turns.

"..."

The group of teachers on the sidelines had expressions that gradually stiffened.

No way, is this kid really just at the High-level?

What is going on with his Magic Energy?

He's unleashed so many ultimate moves and still hasn't run out?

Leng Qing's expression also gradually turned strange.

It seemed she was no match for this guy...
