Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

Finally, under Dean Xiao's encouraging words, the New Student Beast Fighting Competition came to a complete end.

Lin Chen deeply understood Mo Fan's actions. Although they lacked a bit of human touch, what was that compared to improving one's strength?

If Lin Chen lacked resources, he would also choose to do the same as Mo Fan, seizing any opportunity that could help him improve.

Cultivation is like this; how can one improve without striving and competing?

Fortunately, the atmosphere at Pearl Academy was still good. In the few years Lin Chen had been there, he had at least not heard of any student resorting to underhanded tactics against another over resources.

… …

Time passed quickly, and more than a month flew by. Lin Chen lived a very comfortable life, with clothes laid out for him and food served to his mouth. Mu Ningxue worked diligently, taking care of Lin Chen meticulously, displaying the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother. Their feelings for each other gradually warmed up, with only a thin layer of paper left to break through.

Since the New Student Competition, Mo Fan had become the public enemy of all the new students and had even earned the nickname 'Big Demon King'.

"Lin Chen, do you know Zhao Manyan?" Ai Tutu asked impatiently as soon as she got home after school.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know! What's wrong?"

Mu Ningxue glanced at Ai Tutu with a helpless expression and said, "Tutu, you're so gossipy!"

Ai Tutu chuckled and continued to say to Lin Chen, "Zhao Manyan is a high school classmate of Mu-jiejie and me. He's a rich second-generation. This time, he was admitted to Pearl Academy with us. This guy has recently done something big! He donated public resources equivalent to those provided by the school to the entire department in the name of the Zhao family!"

Lin Chen was stunned and asked, "Why?"

The butterfly effect appeared. Lin Chen had thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect the Zhao family to be the one to steal the spotlight in the end.

Ai Tutu said, "During the previous New Student Beast Fighting Competition, Mo Fan obtained the resources for the entire department, right? The resources donated by Zhao Manyan are equivalent to the loss of the entire department's students. This is also a method used by major families to win over students!"

"Did Zhao Manyan participate in the competition that day?" Lin Chen asked.

Ai Tutu shook her head, and Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Does Pearl Academy allow students to be bought off in this way?"

Ai Tutu said, "Of course not, but this time the situation is very special. The instructors of each department of the school can't possibly let their students have no public resources at all, but they didn't expect Zhao's to take the lead!"

Mu Ningxue said, "This is normal. Zhao's business acumen ranks among the best in the entire Magic City! They maintain good relationships with many of the academy's instructors!"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Spending money to buy fame!"

Ai Tutu said, "That's right, it's spending money to buy fame. These resources are nothing to the Zhao family! But for those ordinary students, these resources are like sending charcoal in the snow. Which new student wouldn't remember Zhao's kindness?"

Lin Chen asked Mu Ningxue, "Aren't you Mu family going to show something?"

Mu Ningxue sneered and said, "Do you think the academy accepts sponsorships from just anyone?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen suddenly understood. The Zhao family was different from other families. Although the Zhao family had achieved good results in the commercial sector, their clan did not have many high-level mages and relied entirely on hiring them. This also meant that the Zhao family needed external mages more than other clans, and the Zhao family's internal reward and punishment system was fairer than other clans. Otherwise, who would be willing to join the Zhao family?

From Pearl Academy's point of view, the Zhao family's donation was obviously more suitable than other clans, after all, Pearl Academy also hoped that all students would have a good future.

At this moment, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang, interrupting Lin Chen's thoughts.

"Hello, Little Lingling!" Lin Chen answered the phone and said with a smile.

"Little Linzi, there's a bounty, are you taking it?" Lingling's light voice sounded.

Lin Chen asked, "How much is the reward?"

After a while, Lin Chen said in surprise, "What? The reward is so little? Didn't we agree that we only take big orders?"

"Where do so many big orders come from? I don't care, you have to accompany me on this bounty. I'm so bored going to school every day recently!" Lingling complained.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I'll accompany you, is that okay!"

… …

Half an hour later, Lin Chen and Lingling met at the destination of the bounty mission.

"What are the specific details of the mission?"

Lingling took out a letter of commission and handed it to Lin Chen. Lin Chen glanced at it and became slightly interested in this bounty. The client suspected that his wife was a demon and needed to protect his child. Isn't this the Scaly Mother Demon incident!

Soon, the two arrived at the employer's home. Lingling quickly installed the monitoring equipment, and then the two came to the rooftop of the building across the street.

The exquisite and petite Lingling sat on the outer edge of the rooftop, her tender white legs constantly swinging in the high air.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Lingling, have you grown taller recently!" Lin Chen said with a smile!

Hearing this, Lingling raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Chen in confusion. When she saw Lin Chen's glowing eyes, Lingling suddenly thought of something, glared at Lin Chen fiercely, snorted coldly, and cursed, "You pervert!"

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly and immediately restrained himself a little. He always lacked resistance to beautiful things, but Lingling was still too young and needed to be raised for a few more years!

Lin Chen sat next to Lingling. The evening breeze was gentle and exceptionally pleasant.

Looking down, the entire community was in full view. In the vast community, there were elderly people taking walks and children playing. At this moment, it was peaceful, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Not long after, Lingling hurriedly said, "Look, there's a situation, go protect the child!"

Lin Chen glanced at the computer in Lingling's hand. A woman was shedding her skin.

Lin Chen's mind moved, and faint light spots appeared around him. A dazzling Tai Chi diagram suddenly lit up beside him. In the blink of an eye, a silver-white long sword broke through the diagram and fell into Lin Chen's hand.

Instantly, the Yin-Yang Sword trembled slightly, and a dark black soul ring lit up. Lin Chen disappeared from the spot.

When Lin Chen's figure reappeared, he had already arrived at the employer's home.

As Lin Chen's soul power level increased, his soul skills were also greatly strengthened. With a snap of his fingers, he could teleport thousands of meters.

"Hurry, Lin Chen, the child is in danger, the employer is also shedding her skin!" At this moment, Lingling's voice sounded in Lin Chen's ear again.

Hearing this, Lin Chen's mental power instantly probed out and immediately ran into the bedroom, only to see a green monster with sharp claws walking towards the child.

"Mind Control - Void Claw!"

In an instant, a silver-white star pattern lit up, and an invisible claw gently grabbed the baby on the bed and sent it into Lin Chen's arms.

At the same time, a raging fire suddenly ignited around the Yin-Yang Sword in Lin Chen's hand.
