Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

But Xu Zhaoting went straight into the enemy's lair, ultimately harming himself and others, even his girlfriend died because of him.

This morning, the sky was clear, without a cloud in sight, and the winter sun brought a hint of warmth to people. Inside the Pearl Academy, a stunningly beautiful woman slowly walked out of the massive Three Step Tower.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was filled with a radiant smile, and not far away, a silver-haired man was sitting on a wooden chair by the roadside.

Upon seeing the figure, the woman quickly ran towards the silver-haired man.

This man and woman were none other than Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue.

"How is it? Did you succeed in breaking through?" Seeing Mu Ningxue walking towards him, Lin Chen stood up from the wooden chair and asked with concern.

Mu Ningxue nodded and said excitedly, "Yes, I broke through. I am now a High-Level mage!"

Since they were outside, Mu Ningxue, even though she was extremely excited, paid attention to her image and didn't make too many gestures.

She merely raised her slender jade hand and hooked onto Lin Chen's arm, and just like that, the two of them slowly strolled through the campus.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Congratulations, your dream has come true!"

Mu Ningxue smiled and said, "Thanks to the Star River Vein you gave me, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly!"

"That also requires you to work hard enough. By the way, did you cultivate on the third or fourth floor in the end?" Lin Chen asked.

"Fourth floor. I didn't feel any pressure on the first three floors. Only on the steps leading from the third floor to the fourth floor did I feel a little strained, but fortunately, it wasn't difficult!" Mu Ningxue replied.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's good. Have you thought about which magic element you want to awaken at the High-Level?"

Mu Ningxue gently shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. My current spiritual level is okay, I feel like the Space Element is not bad!"

"The Space Element is indeed good, it can attack and defend, and it can also teleport. Your Plant Element is your main control, and the Wind Element, besides teleportation, also has decent attack power. Right now, you lack defensive means. Whether it's the Water Element or the Space Element, both are good choices, but you don't mainly cultivate the Dimensional Element. Spiritual power level and Dimensional Element magic complement each other. If you only cultivate the Space Element, it will become very difficult to improve your spiritual level in the later stages. When you reach the Super Level, you will also need to choose the Dimensional Element for awakening in order to better improve your spiritual power level!" Lin Chen said quietly.

Mu Ningxue hesitated and asked, "Then should I awaken the Water Element at the High-Level?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Water Element is also fine, it can very well make up for your defensive abilities. If you awaken the Water Element at the High-Level, there won't be so much to consider when you awaken at the Super Level. Actually, both the Space Element and the Water Element are good, but these two have different cultivation directions, with advantages and disadvantages, it just depends on how you choose!"

Mu Ningxue thought for a while and said, "I'm still preparing to try awakening the Space Element. Actually, no matter how well I think about it now, I won't necessarily be able to successfully awaken it. Even if I guide the awakening, it's just a probability, it still depends on luck."

Lin Chen said, "That's true, but your spiritual power level is not low, it's relatively easy to awaken the Space Element."

"Hopefully!" Mu Ningxue smiled. Her eyes lit up. Space Element magic has great appeal to any mage, and Mu Ningxue is no exception.

After breaking through to the High-Level, Mu Ningxue didn't feel like going to class. After having lunch with Lin Chen, she directly left the academy to awaken her High-Level magic. For ordinary people, awakening magic is a very troublesome matter. It's not like anyone can awaken it immediately if they want to. They also need to make an appointment, but for children of aristocratic families, awakening magic is just a trivial matter.

When Lin Chen came home from school, Mu Ningxue had already prepared a table full of sumptuous delicacies. She was in a cheerful mood, her face full of radiant smiles.

Mu Ningxue awakened the Space Element magic as she wished, which made her very excited. If it weren't for Ai Tutu, the third wheel, Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue would probably have a different kind of feast that night.

But even so, the two of them still secretly appeared in the basement late at night. Fortunately, the soundproofing of this villa was done well. With a floor in between, Ai Tutu couldn't possibly hear any suggestive sounds. Just for this point, the landlord deserves praise.

Happy days are always short-lived. Mu Ningxue and Ai Tutu welcomed their main campus assessment. The assessment content was not simple, capturing Shadow Demon Beasts.

As this day approached, Lin Chen's attention to Xu Zhaoting became more and more frequent. This day, after school, Xu Zhaoting and his girlfriend left the Pearl Academy one after another. Lin Chen quietly followed behind them until the two arrived at an abandoned factory.

Hiding in the dark, Lin Chen's mental power probed out, and he indeed discovered the presence of Black Vatican.

Lin Chen didn't rush to act. He wanted to use Black Vatican to teach Xu Zhaoting a lesson. Lin Chen could save him once, but he would definitely not save him a second time. If you don't cherish your own life, who can you expect to?

People often have a perverse psychology, they only know how to cherish when they lose something.

This time, Lin Chen must make Xu Zhaoting deeply remember the feeling of being on the verge of death.

"Lu Lu, you stay here, I'll go in and take a look!" Xu Zhaoting said to the high-ponytail girl beside him.

"Don't go in, they look very dangerous. Zhaoting, why are you following these people? What exactly are those black half-human, half-ghost things?" The high-ponytail girl named Lu Lu said.

Ever since Xu Zhaoting smelled an unusual scent from a student by chance, he had become a different person. Zhang Lulu didn't understand what had happened and could only follow Xu Zhaoting here.

"Don't ask, you stay here. If I don't come out within ten minutes, you leave here immediately. Remember, don't linger here!" Xu Zhaoting said very seriously.

As he spoke, Xu Zhaoting rushed in without looking back. He understood the horror of Black Vatican. It was not something he could touch at the moment, but when he thought about going to the isolation zone to find his surviving family and seeing a white list, the names of his father, mother, younger brother, and grandmother were all on the white paper, he gradually lost his mind.

Xu Zhaoting also wanted to try to forget those things and live in a new environment. He also met a good girl and was very happy being with her, which could make him forget his pain.

But just today, he smelled that scent.

This scent was emanating from a student at the Pearl Academy. When he tracked it down here, he was shocked to find that the student was a member of Black Vatican.

Even though he understood the power of Black Vatican and was very scared in his heart, Xu Zhaoting still resolutely rushed in.

… …

Not long after, a strong magical aura emanated from the factory. Zhang Lulu outside was very scared and wanted to go in to find out what was going on.
