Chapter 68: Jinlin Desolate City

……

"This is..."

After three roars, the flying sand gradually dispersed, and the figure of the Ghost Wolf Beast slowly appeared in the eyes of Mo Fan and his companion.

Its body was taller than before, and its physique was more well-proportioned; however, the biggest change was the pair of enormous dragon wings that had sprouted from its shoulder blades.

"What the hell? Did you really graft the Dragon Bloodline into it?" Mo Fan looked stunned.

Dragon wings!

The defensive power and endurance of this thing are among the top tier even among flying-type demons!

"It's alright." Lv Cheng nodded.

The Magic Potion he made for Old Wolf was based on Jingyun's dragon blood as a sample, so naturally, it inherited Jingyun's own characteristic: speed.

Xiaotian is the strongest combat force in the Evil Dragon Legion, while Jingyun possesses the fastest speed because when Shendu cultivated it, he used some wind-attribute materials, allowing Jingyun to possess the power to control wind to a certain extent.

Of course, the overall attribute of the Evil Dragon Legion is still Fire Dragon, so Jingyun's wind attribute can only be considered a minor supplement.

He had originally intended for Old Wolf to inherit the Evil Dragon's fire attribute, but it went awry, and it inherited the supplementary wind attribute instead.

……

"Let me lead the training team?"

The day before the training, Lv Cheng, who had intended to find an excuse to join the training team to Jinlin City, had the matter brought up proactively by Song He before he could even speak.

"If Teacher Lv leads the team, doesn't that mean we can just slack off?" Zhao Manyan said with a strange expression.

During the time Lv Cheng had been working at Mingzhu Academy, almost all the teachers at the academy had sparred with him, and even the High-level Mages under his Zhao family had privately experienced Lv Cheng's strength.

Although the bouts were not official, those High-level Mages who had crossed hands with Lv Cheng all gave the same evaluation afterward—if Lv Cheng were serious, they would definitely be taken out in a second!

With this kind of strength, even if they encountered a Commander-level Demon, he could lead them to retreat unscathed.

"Indeed..."

The group of exchange students also from Mingzhu Academy all agreed with Zhao Manyan's words.

Originally, they were truly a bit worried about encountering danger, but with Lv Cheng leading the team, what difference was this training from a field trip?

A Commander-level sub-dragon!

Unless a Monarch-level Demon appeared, they wouldn't be in any danger.

"No, you are mistaken." Song He shook his head.

"The reason for having Teacher Lv lead the team is because a suspected Commander-level Demon has appeared in Jinlin City. The purpose of this training is for you to collect data on this desolate city, not for you to go and die, so after the Imperial Capital Magic Association discussed it, they decided to have Teacher Lv lead the team."

"Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy has also already agreed to this matter."

"Likewise, the main purpose of Teacher Lv leading the team is to guard against attacks from Commander-level Demons; he will not participate too much in your investigation, so don't be too relaxed."

"Even if Teacher Lv blocks a Commander-level Demon, Warrior-level demons can still easily take your little lives!"

"……"

The group's expressions stiffened, and their little schemes vanished instantly.

"Is it really just because of a Commander-level Demon?" Lv Cheng asked.

When he was at Mingzhu, he had already displayed his "Natural Dual Elements."

Fire Element, Summoning Element, Mind Element, Space Element; these are the Magic Elements he has displayed so far.

As for the Shadow Element, only Ye Xinxia knows about it currently.

So, could this Demon Element experiment be targeting him?

Damn it! Lately, things really have been going exactly as I wished!

I was originally thinking of using some small tricks to snatch it, but I didn't expect them to deliver it to my doorstep!

How thoughtful!

"This is the information provided by the Hunter Union and the Military. As for the decision to have you lead the team, that was decided by us yesterday," Song He said.

"There are still too many unknown dangers in Jinlin City at present. If there is a High-level Mage leading the team, the survival rate will also increase significantly."

"I hope so..." Lv Cheng looked deeply at Song He.

His Mind Element magic for lie detection does not distinguish between the strength of Spiritual Power; he can even test Shendu.

Song He was not lying; at least this old man had no other intentions right now.

It makes sense; behind the Demon Element experiment are Forbidden Curse Mages pulling the strings, and Lu Nian, a mere High-level Mage, is nothing but a blade.

A piece of stolen goods that will be buried regardless of success or failure.

Humans, oh humans...

……

Jinlin Desolate City.

"Just as Dean Song He said, my responsibility is to guard against the appearance of Commander-level Demons; I will not interfere with you too much. If you encounter life-threatening danger, I might save you out of kindness; of course, it is also possible that I will be too lazy to bother," Lv Cheng said.

"If possible, you had best act as if I don't exist. After all, I have no responsibility to save you."

The group's expressions stiffened.

Listen to yourself—is this something a teacher should say?

"By the way, you had best not try to pressure me with your schools or family backgrounds at every turn," Lv Cheng reminded them.

"If you provoke me..."

Before he finished his sentence, Lv Cheng walked forward alone.

A chill ran down everyone's backs, especially the team members from the Imperial Capital Academy, whose faces were extremely unsightly.

"Is this guy really a teacher?" Lu Zhenghe looked dark-faced.

"The genuine article," Zhao Manyan shrugged.

"He wouldn't actually lay a hand on us, would he?" Jingjing looked worried.

"Rest assured, although Teacher Lv Cheng has a bit of a temper, but..." Zhao Manyan paused.

"He probably won't."

"..."

The expressions of Lu Zhenghe and his group were incredibly stiff.

The hell? What do you mean "probably"?!

"As long as the female students aren't too excessive, Teacher Lv Cheng's tolerance is actually quite good," Zhao Manyan explained.

"But the male students..."

"I don't think you would want to see what Teacher Lv Cheng looks like when he's angry."

During the main campus assessment a while back, the Black Vatican invaded and almost hurt Mu Nujiao and that big rabbit Ai Tutu; that day, those shrill cries that echoed through the soul—he would never forget them for the rest of his life!

Even to this day, the sound still rings in his ears!

As night fell, everyone began to light campfires and prepare dinner.

Lv Cheng sat alone not far from the campsite, head lowered, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Little Dragon, have you still not found Great Dragon?" Lv Cheng's mental consciousness had already arrived in Demon Hell.

There were too many Magic Spells in the Spellbook, densely packed; if he wanted to use a certain Magic Spell, he had to flip through them one by one, and the required ingredients were extremely ancient!

A pile of terms from the ancient era—it would be a miracle if he could find the ingredients!

Shendu and the others were all senile, and he didn't know if there were any substitutes available.

Therefore, the best method was to find a Wizard who knew the ropes!

Great Dragon!

"I found him, but he is unwilling to enter Hell," Xiao Long said.

"Why?" Lv Cheng asked, puzzled.

What Great Dragon wanted was nothing more than eternal life; for a Demon, eternal life was not a difficult problem.

After all, eternal life was not the same as being immortal and indestructible; Demons had many ways to grant eternal life, they just didn't want to give it.

Shendu was the typical representative in this regard.

Xiao Long's eye twitched, "He said my father has already taught him a lesson; he doesn't believe that a Demon would grant him eternal life, and he believes even less that he could go to a new world after entering Hell."

"In short, he won't believe a single word that comes out of a Demon's mouth ever again!"

"..."

The group of Demons fell into silence.

It's Shendu again!

You really deserve to die!

"Forget it, I'll find another time to go find him myself," Lv Cheng was also speechless.

He could also go to the Reality that Shendu and the others were in before, the world of Jackie Chan Adventures; after all, the Immortal God Qi on his body came from that world.

However, travel between different dimensions would be met with rejection; he had gone there once before with Xiao Long, and he was kicked out less than ten seconds after landing.

The dimensional rejection toward him was too severe; he couldn't stay for too long, let alone do anything in that world.

Even if he went over, he would only exist in the form of a phantom, unable to interfere with Reality, and he couldn't even find a vessel like Xiao Long did.

If he wanted to get things from that world, he still had to find a suitable candidate.

Great Dragon, this Black Qi Wizard who coveted eternal life, was the most suitable one.
