Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

The seawater gradually receded, revealing the wreckage of buildings scattered across the streets, now glistening wet.

It was impossible to count how many sea monsters remained unslain, but they were all leaving with the receding tide. Without the sea as their solid backing, their mortality rate would greatly increase, and their strength would be significantly diminished, making it unnecessary to continue the entanglement.

The drainage system of Donghai City was also astonishingly powerful. Normally, a city submerged like this would take at least a day or two to completely drain the water. However, as soon as the tide receded to the low embankment, only shallow puddles remained in Donghai City, as if it had only rained. It was hard to believe it had been submerged under ten meters of water!

The destruction of the streets was rapid, but the speed of reconstruction was also fast. Once non-wartime was declared, military mages would immediately appear along the low embankment to guard against any sea monsters attempting a surprise attack. The cleanup crews were even faster, not only clearing all the rubble before dark but also collecting all the sea monster corpses!

The corpses of demon creatures are the wealth of humanity. After all, most of the territory outside the cities has been occupied by demon creatures, and they have far more resources than humans. They absorb this energy to strengthen their physical bodies, which means their corpses are rich in the essence of nature.

What drives the magical civilization of humans worldwide, besides the energy magic stones mined from nature, is mostly derived from demon creatures. Demon creatures themselves are mobile mines that have absorbed countless energies!

All corpses belong to the district chief, and someone will naturally tally how many demon creatures each squad has killed.

Lin Chen could only chuckle at this. Who knows how much would be skimmed off in the intermediate steps? Fortunately, Lin Chen was clever and had prepared in advance, secretly sending some high-level demon creature corpses to the Spirit Realm.

The National Team, on the other hand, clearly didn't care about this issue. Right now, they just wanted to return to their residence, take a hot bath, and then sleep soundly in a dry and comfortable bed.

Lin Chen, Mu Ningxue, and Jiang Shaoxu discussed it and decided to go back and wash up first, then go out for a stroll and find a place to have a drink.

After returning to their residence and washing up, just as the three were about to leave, they received their rewards for the sea battle!

Lin Chen: 130 million.

Mu Ningxue: 350 million.

Jiang Shaoxu: 51 million.

…

Nan Jue handed out all the rewards to everyone. The most went to Mu Ningxue, which was undisputed. After Lin Chen stopped taking action, Mu Ningxue single-handedly raised the average combat power of the entire team and killed two commander-level sea monsters and hundreds of warrior-level saw-toothed green demons. Mu Ningxue's achievements could only be described as brilliant.

Ai Jiangtu repeatedly wanted Mu Ningxue to refrain from acting unless it was a critical moment, just like Lin Chen, but in the end, he held back.

Lin Chen's lips twitched. He only got this little money for killing so many demon creatures…

The kickbacks in between were imaginable. Lin Chen carefully calculated and realized that the people who fought the monsters were actually getting the smaller share, while the middlemen and higher-ups were getting the lion's share!

Fortunately, Lin Chen had secretly tampered with things, otherwise, he would have lost out big time!

As for Lin Chen, he was just going through the motions for the second half, so he didn't receive much reward!

The three of them were not polite, after all, it was all earned through labor. After taking the rewards, they left the residence directly.

Having come to Tokyo, they naturally couldn't miss the markets here. The magic markets are generally decorated, but they can't hold back from finding real treasures inside. After every major battle, the markets in the East Coast cities become particularly lively. Many things that haven't been properly identified or researched are thrown here all at once, priced at a street stall price. If you snatch one and have it appraised at an auction, you might get rich.

Lin Chen and the others bought a lot of things with great interest. It's rare to come to Tokyo, so naturally, they couldn't return empty-handed. There was nothing special about these things, but they looked particularly beautiful, making them the best materials for making jewelry.

Girls like colorful and beautiful things, and Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu are no exception.

Especially Mu Ningxue, now that she has Lin Chen's help, she has long been free from worries and lives a carefree life. Compared with the original work, it can be said that there is a world of difference. Over time, the ice beauty in the original work has gradually become a little woman!

Lin Chen still prefers this kind of change. Which man likes a woman as cold as ice?

Women should have the appearance of women, be coquettish, soft, and gentle. What's wrong with a southern little potato?

Of course, Mu Ningxue is still somewhat gentle on the outside but firm on the inside. Don't look at her current appearance as a little woman, but her heart is still very strong.

Especially after experiencing Mu He's incident, Mu Ningxue has put in a lot of effort into the Mu family. Now, the head of the Mu family is still Mu Zhuoyun on the surface, but everyone knows that in reality, the real head of the Mu family has long become Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue also manages the Mu family in an orderly manner. In a few years, the Mu family will become the top family.

Lin Chen and the others strolled around for a long time, and Lin Chen's wallet inexplicably lost 20 million. Shopping is a woman's nature, especially since they share the boundless Spirit Realm warehouse.

This little money is naturally nothing in front of Lin Chen, but he just felt a little loss. However, seeing the bright smiles of the two women, a smile also appeared on Lin Chen's face.

Spending a little money to buy happiness is not a bad thing!

After spending the money, Jiang Shaoxu suggested going for a big meal.

The most common thing in coastal cities is seafood. The endless corpses of sea monsters have naturally become the protagonists here as these exquisite ingredients.

The newest and most complete novels are on 69shu.com!

Roasted, chilled, sea monster meat in various ways, just looking at it whets the appetite.

Good ingredients only need the simplest method. Fresh sea monster meat has a unique flavor, and the three of them ate with relish!

After a few bottles of wine, Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu were both a little tipsy, and their delicate faces showed a faint blush, which looked very attractive!

"The National Team's Asian training is coming to an end. After it ends, let's ask for leave together and go to Tianshan. There's an opportunity for you there!" Lin Chen put down his wine glass and said to Mu Ningxue.

This leave of absence is imperative. In addition to the trip to Tianshan, Lin Chen also has to solve the Coagulation Evil Pearl. More importantly, Lin Chen also has to go to Douluo Continent. The half-year period with Qian Renxue is approaching, and it's time to let Qian Renxue be free!

Mu Ningxue nodded gently and said, "Will it have a bad impact?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? It's just asking for leave. At most, it will take a month, and we'll be back!"

Jiang Shaoxu asked in confusion, "You're going to Tianshan?"
